WASHINGTON—(.CC. B.)—Louis
Marshall, president of the American
Jewish Committee, Thursday, from 10
a. ni. until 0;30 p. m., appeared be-
fore the House Immigration Commit-
tee, protesting against restrictive leg-
islation, and answering the attacks
made upon Jewish aliens, at previous
hearings before the committee. Mr.
Marshall's testimony was massive
and covered a great many aspects of
the situation.
Bernard G. Richards, secretary of
the temporary organization of the
American Jewish Congress; John L.
Bernstein, president of BIAS; Max
Pine, secretary of the United Hebrew
Trades, and Joshua Kantrowitz, rep-
resenting B'nai B'rith, District No. I,
were also present, but with the ex-
ception of occasional interruptions by
Mr. Bernstein, supplementing Mr.
Marshall's remarks, these did not tes-
tify.
Rabbi Stephen Wise of the Jewish
Congress organization, was unable to
attend but is expected to appear he-
fore the Senate committee, which will
begin its hearings soon. All the in-
dividuals named appeared as repre-
sentatives and Mr. Marshall as the
spokesman of a joint committee form-
ed by the various organizations at a
recent conference in New York, to
take a stand against the proposed
legislation further restricting immi-
gration.
"Princes of Thought"
With great concern, Marshall told
the committee he and many others
had observed the increasing frank op-
position to Jewish immigration, and
the chrugging of shoulders and lift-
ing of eyebrows with reference there-
to in Congressional circles.
"The entire world conies to the Jew
for spiritual sustenance," he said.
"Christ was a Jew; the Disciples were
Jews; the Prophets were Jews. The
Jew up to today is the mm of those
from whom the whole world learns.
Let no one say the Jewish people is in-
ferior."
Describing the life of the Jewish
immigrant after his entry into the
United States, he told how, as trus-
tee of the Educational Alliance, he
had visited its classes and meetings,
where he found men who were pod-
filers during the day, listening by
night to lectures on mathematics, as-
tronomy and Aristotle. "Yes," he said,
"they are pushcart peddlers by day,
but princes of thought by night."
Marshall added that, looking at these
men in their poor garments and their
boards, one might not be very favor-
ably impressed with them, but their'
qualities, and the extraordinary prog-
rses that the Jewish immigrant has
made in the United States shows we
must consider something else besides
the appearance and the clothes.

Injustice to Alien.
In this connection he spoke of the

moving picture and stereoptican views

which had been shown before the com-
mittee, the object of which was to
show the Jewish alien in an unfavor-
able light as possible, bevause of his
appearance. "I can take a moving
picture machine into the rural dis-
tricts of this country, and, by clever
manipulations, demonstrate some of
the hest stock of this country, just as
unfavorably," he commented in this
regard, and also remarked that "al-
though the Jews form but 3 per cent
of the population in the United States,
they give 5 per cent to the army dur-
ing the war."
"Anyone who is familiar with the
ideals of Judaism," Marshall said,
"realim, how unwarranted is the ac-
cusation of Bolshevist tendencies on
the part of the Jews." "Jews held
sacred, all those things that Bolshev-
ism would destroy—religion, family
life, property. One hundred leading
Zionists of Moscow were condemned
to death by the Soviets. Trotzky him-
self denies that he is a Jew, and told
a Jewish delegation which called up-
nn him to secure lifting of restric-
tions against Jewish activities, that
he had nothing in common with the
Jews."

It is true that a small minority of
the Jews, Marshall said, were inter-
ested in Socialism, but that is quite

DETROIT JEWRY RESPONDS TO APPEALS
FOR REBUILDING OF JEWISH HOMELAND
BY GIVING $25,000 FOR KEREN HAYESOD

"The eighteenth Teweth is a day
of great significance in the history of
the Zionist movement. On this day,
20 years ago, the fifth Zionist Con-
gress decided upon the establishment
of the Keren Kajemeth Lejisrael.
Thereby the plan, full of inspiration,
which Prof. Schapira had advocated
in the very early stages of our or-
ganization and which the first Con-
gress accepted with enthusiasm As the

beginning of the redemption of our
land, took definite shape. The repre-

Mr. Sokolow told his audience that
the responsibility now lay entirely
with the Jewish people. Entrusted
with the task of making their own
future secure and reconstructing
their ancient heritage, the world
powers are looking to the Jews to
make good their part of the bargain,
and the Jews must ma..e good in this
trying hour unless they would gain
for themselves the distrust and disre-

spect of the nations who believe in
Israel's right to Palestine and who
approve of the Zionist reconstruction
program.
Mr. Sokolow spoke with an eve,
cial feeling of gratification concern-
ing the attitude of Gentiles. Wher-
ever he went in the interests of the
Jewish people, he found that the Gen-
tiles were interested in the Zionist
movement to the extent of believing
that, like the other small nations, the
Jews must again be rehabilitated on
their own soil, and Palestine must
again become Jewish for the sake
of the peace of the world.
