Corroboration Corroboration from an unexpected source is usually thrice welcome. So in picking up a "mystery" book—a good one, too—written by an Englishman named Edgar Wallace—we found this significant statement: "The meeting place of the great Congress was a hall which was originally erected by an enthusiastic Christian gentleman with a weakness for the conver- sion of Jews to the New Presbyterian Church. With this laudable object it had been opened with great pomp and the singing of anthems, and the enthusi- astic proselyter had spoken on that occasion two hours and forty-nine minutes by the clock. "After twelve months' labor, the Christian gentle- man discovered that the advantages of Christianity only appeal to the very rich Jews indeed, to the Co- hens who become the Cowans, to the Isaacs who be- come Grahames, and to the curious low-down Jews who stand in the same relation to their brethren as White Kaffirs to a European community."

He will makes mistakes, of course, but they will be mistakes of judg- meat sad not of conscience. an undesirable I hale to write Henry Ford's name. He is such • character. But by reason of his enormous wealth he is able to keep doing undesirable things which call for comment on his unsettled actions. I think Ford has a kink somewhere in his mind. He is ab- normal.

He is perfectly normal on the subject of making automobiles, but it seems that once he gets away from that sphere of action he loses all he po sssss es is a positive judgment.

We are not considering for a moment the right or wrong of her position, but we are concerned merely with the fact that she is giving HERSELF to the movement. She doesn't stay at home, write out a check and then let "the other fellow" go to Palestine and study at first hand the prob- lems that must be solved right on the ground. She has just returned from a six months' visit to Palestine and she has dedi- cated her fortune and her life to Zionism. She talks like one exalted. She has caught the fever of the movement and it is said that she cannot discuss anything else but Palestine and Palestinian Jews. She will make her home in Palestine a part of each year and her energy and thought will be devoted to building up the country and in promoting the welfare of the people. Mrs. Fels is a high type of Jewess. She is modest and cultured and at least she has the courage of her convictions and does not believe in absentee idealism. Jews identified with any movement of an idealistic character can emulate Mrs. Fels' example to advantage. She has learned that the only way to show that you are sincere in the leadership of a movement is to live in harmony with one's ideals. C. H. J. Reason vs. Heart. The idea of Felix Warburg's that the next appeal that should go to American Jews for European Jewry should be on the basis of self-help rather than misery and the wringing of one's heart. There is sound sense in this statement. We have heard tales of the sufferings of European Jewry that have sickened us. But there is no longer any need to arouse our emotions and to lacerate our feelings. And we question whether sum could be raised in those circumstances. But when a we large are presented with the thought of rehabilitation ; that our people want funds in order to make them once more self-sup- porting; that they need sanitary conditions under which to live; that we must take care of the orphans; that we must do • -- h h Fed There is o•e thing that such organisations ■ ration don't seem to realise: the force of an idea is more effective than the force of • club.

ARAB BANDIT GIVEN 15-YEAR SENTE NCE That is talking straight from the shoulder and endorses our own sentiments on the subject; coming, too, from a non-Jewish source, it may have more effect upon those well-meaning Chris- tian gentlemen with generous-sized bank rolls who, appalled at the idea of the Jews groping about in the darkness of ignor- ance and headed straight for the Christian hell of brimstone, hire more or less undesirable Jews to "convert" their brethren.

A.)—Great throngs of Jews are emigrating from the Uk- raine to Siberia, according to several reports in the communist daily, Red Star, published in Vitebsk. The situ- ation in Ukraine has been seriously aggravated by the Polish edict clos- ing the frontier of Poland to Jewish refugees and by the ever increasing difficulties to enter Bessarabia. Ukrainian Jews have therefore1 been forced to turn east and many i individuals are selling their property, many communities their synagogues and communal buildings, so as to have the wherewithal for travel. These emigrees realize full well that they are exchanging • land rich in agricultural resources and the neces- sities of life for a bleak country I where to support one's self is a dd. fificfiufilt matter, but the intense ner- vousness and fear of further pogroms ' and excesses that prevails makes the I change an advisable one to them . Thin, d tys hath September, October thirty one, rem, mher, Then winter winds begin to blow So now's the tone to start, you know. Before the coal begins to climb "A Ton at a 7 irne Saves a Run on the Mine." Just two months before the ol' furnace fire will burn more or less merrily—day and night and even before that, you'll need a furnace fire occasionally. Just two months before you'll be looking over a bill for your winter coal supply, if you leave the buying of all of it till the last minute. Why not buy a ton or two at a time, deliv- ered every week for the next two months. Then the expense won't be bunched—you'll be all set for the zero temperatures that are coming—and probable coal shortages and price increases won't be a worry.
