SAYS ARAB VILLAGER IS
NOT OPPOSED TO JEWS
Declares Jews Will Overcome
All Obstacles in Quest
for Palestine.
By J. RAMSAY MACDOALD
Nowhere can one study the eternal
conflict between age and youth, the!
new wine and the old bottles, bet-
ter than in these regions. In Egypt,
it is Been in the old familiar from of
the tutored demanding freedom from
the tutor; in Palestine it arises from
a conflict between two civilizations
brought into contact by immigration.
Zionism has blown over the dry
bones of Judaism, and once again the
fares and the fet of many Jews are
turned to Zion. I have talked to'
them here in the immigrant encamp-
ment on the sandy shore of Jaffa
just off the sea; in Jerusalem, wait-
ing for something to do, or on one or
another of the many committees of
settlement; in tens on the slopes of
Gilboa, reclaiming the waste spaces;'
by the Sea of Galilee, where they
are making roads and bridging the
Jordan.
The Jewish Camps.
One afternoon as 1 was crossing I
the Plain of Esdraelon, close to the
spot where Saul fought his last fight
and fell before the Philistines, I was
met by a country cart and jolted over
some mile or two of unmade road to
one of these new Jewish camps at
Nuria, on the northern slopes of
Mount Gilboa. Just beyond the
spring where it is said Gideon se-
lectde his army of 300 men who
"lapped of the water with his tongue
as • dog lappeth," I found their tents.
Most of them were in the fields, but
the anvil in the smithy was clanging,
saws and planes were going in the
carpenter's shop, through an open
door I saw a dentist at work, and in
the kitchen pots and pans were rat-
tluing.
The community consisted of 150
persons, selected from those who, as
members of the labor corps, had
worked on road making for 12
months. They had settled upon a
large piece of land between the rail-
way and the top of the hill, part of
which is a swamp and all of it prac-
tically out of cultivation. There they
are plantnig 14,000 eucalyptus trees
of 60 varieties, 4,000 pines, 500 cyp-
resses, 10,000 olives, together with
apple orchrads, vineyards, tobacco
plantations and orange groves; they
are starting nurseries for the supply
of plants, especially trees; they are
digging and preparing the land for
cultivation; they believe they are re-
laying the foundations of a new Zion.
Land Belong to J. N. F.
The land belongs to the Jewish Na-
tional Fund and can never become
private property; various bodies sup- I
ply the necessary capital; the com-
munity supplies the devotion. Most
of the members have been Socialists
in some country or another, and at
some time or another most of them
have got weary of barren controver
sies on "the class war" and such
things (in any event, in Palestine, it
is no issue). They snort at Bolsby-
ism; they want to do something. In
other words, one finds in operation'
here the Law of Leviticus and the
precept, of the Prophets joined to
Western Socialism, and carried out
not by politicians and revolutionists
but by believers.
Some have smiled at me when I
have asked if they were to build a
synagogue before they built a school,
but I thought of them as I sat at the
well where Christ talked with the
Woman of Samaria. Of course, that
creates some difficulty. Neither does
the old Hebrew nor the Arab notable
care for this inrush of searching
wind. There are still the Sanhedrin
C.'1 and the Pharisees in Judaism,
and the Arab magnate is naturally
unhappy. The latter had dreams of
a kingdom of his own, and I fear that
the Jew, in his enthusiasm, has not
always been too tactful. At best, the
position is delicate, and powder and
matches are lying dangerously near
to each other.
Arabs Are Benefited.
The Arab villager, if left alone,
and the Arab workman, also if left
alone, would give but little trouble.
The villager will soon be helped in a
hundred ways by the new colonists;

GENOA EXPERTS
GENOA. — (J. C. B.) — The
number of Jewish experts at-
tending the Economic Confer-
ence at Genoa is much larger
than appeared to be the case at
the beginning of the confer-
ence. Besides Rathenau (Ger-
many), Malach (Greece), Joffe
and Litvinoff (Russia), who at-
tend the conference as dele-
gates, there are amongst the ex-
perts Senators Atom and Luz-
zati and Deputies Olivetti and
Treves of Italy, as well as Pro-
lessor Emil Zleckstadt of Den-

Morning Post Attacks Lloyd
George and Warns Jews
of Prejudice.
LONDON.—(J. C. 1.1—The Morn-
ing, Post in its Friday's issue, gives
pride of place to a lengthy leading
article en the forthcoming Genoa con-
ference, written in the usual Morning
Post strain.
"The Prime Minister is going to
Genoa," it asserts, "not because his
presence is necessary to our foreign
policy, but because he desires to con-
ciliate certain political forces and to
in lure others. Ile desires, in fact, to
make a demonstration towards the
Left. He believes it will please the
British labor Party and his own
Radical and Jewish friends if he
demonstrates his goodwill at once to-
wards Soviet Russia and Germany.
"So far from being a genuine Labor
movement," continues the Morning
Post, it (Bolshevism) is run by a
gang of anarchists, chiefly Jewish,
who know nothing of Labor, and care
less."
The conclusion of the article is
couched in the form of a solemn warn-
ing to the Jews:
"As to the Jewish part in this busi-
ness, the Jews have always protested
their innocence of any share in this
revolutionary movement, and we be-
lieve that many Jews are entirely sin-
cere in their protestations of inno-
cence. But it nevertheless is true that
there is a very strong suspicion of
Jewish affiliations with Russian Revo-
lution. It may be prejudice; but it is
at least supported by a very great
deal of evidence and a very large
number of witnesses. Now, it may be
coincidence that the Prime Minister is
said to lean rather heavily upon Jew-
ish advice in these international con-
ferences and Russian advances. We
warn our Jewish friends that if this
recognition is pushed through, it will
heighten this prejudice or suspicion
still further.
IMMIGRANTS CELEBRATE
FESTIVAL OF PASSOVER
Hies Entertains Thousand Guests ■ at
Ellis Island and at New York
Home.
NEW YORK.—The Passover festi-
val was celebrated in the traditional
manner by Jewish immigrants at El-
lis Island and at the Home of the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America, 425 La-
fayette street. More than 1,000 im-
migrants and guests were entertained
at the Sedorim on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings.
At Ellis Island, the Rev. Dr. Gus-
tav N. Hausman officiated. B. Shel-
vin, a member of the Hiss board of
directors; Reuben Brainin, the emi-
nent Ilebrew writer, and William N.
Neubau, the society's representative
at the island, delivered appropriate
addresses.
The special Passover food was pro-
vided by the society.
At the home, the Rev. Barnett Sie-
gel, the religious supervisor of the so-
ciety, officiated and addresses were
made by John L. Bernstien, the presi-
dent, and Albert Rosenblatt and Ja-
cob Masse!, vice-presidents, and J.
Meister.
All arrangements at the home of
the society and at Ellis Island were
made by Isaac L. Asofsky, acting
general manager. Similar Passover
celebrations were held at the society's
branches.

Michigan Executive May At-
tend Community Building
Affair on Opening Night.
A community building, designed and
equipped for the benefit and use of
all the people, is soon to be added to
Detroit's collection of public institu-
tions. The beginning of the Fund for
the new institution will be raised
through the Community Building ba-
zaar, to be held in the Light Guard
Armory for eight days beginning
Saturday, April 29.
The bazaar is to be held under the
auspices of Pisgah Lodge, No. 34, I.
0. 0. B., but all the Jewish organiza-
tions in the city and a number of
other societies will take an active part
in it. Officers of Pisgah Lodge have
sponsored the bazaar to produce a
"nest egg" for the building rather
than to resort to a general drive,
which, they declare, has proved both
annoying and unsatisfactory in re-
cent years.
Many public spirited men and wom-
en who have realized the need of
facilities which will permit all the
charitable organizations of the city to
be housed under one roof are interest-
ed in the new project. Their general
plans call for a structure that will
represent an expense in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000,000 with a large audi-
torium for meetings and entertain-
ments, bowling alleys, gymnasium,
plunge, billiard rooms, committee
rooms and other facilities which a
structure of this type should contain.
Then every charitable organization in
the city will be enabled to have quar-
ters without great expense.
Funds raised by the bazaar are not
expected to be sufficient to accomplish
the building of the community house;
those sponsoring the bazaar have
merely recognized the need and are
taking this means to establish the be-
ginning of a fund for its fulfillment,
to obtain a nucleus around which
other similar organizations may build
until sufficient has been secured to
make possible the completion of the
institution.
Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck has indorsed
the bazaar and it is hoped to have the
governor as well as other state, coun-
ty and city officials present at the
formal opening.
"It has come to my attention," says
Gov. Groesbeck, "that your lodge is
contemplating holding a bazaar, the
proceeds of which are to be used for
the erection of a community building.
Such a building can be put to splendid
service in providing room from which
social, charitable and educational ac-
tivities can be carried on.
"I am sure that such a worthy ob-
ject will receive the support, both
morally and financially of the citizens
of Detroit and the state of Michigan
and I sincerely trust the bazaar will
be a splendid success."
Jac. Langer is chairman of the com-
mittee in charge of the bazaar and L.
Goldsmith is chairman of the enter-
tainment committee. Vaudeville, cir-
cus stunts, booths for the sale of many
articles, side shows and a two ring
circus performance are all included
in the entertainment program which
Mr. Goldsmith has prepared.
The following call teen, national
and central organizations has been
addressed to all Jewish organizations
in Greater New York and other cities
throughout the Union:
"We beg to address you again en

forces to protect our legitimate rights
and to uphold the fair name of our

Shaarey Zedek, the Jews of the city
will be called upon to become members
and help thereby in the upkeep of the
Talmud Torahs.
As a result of two meetings held
recently, it was decided to launch the
extensive membership campaign so
that the schools now in existence, the
Wilkins, Farnsworth, El Moshe and
other Talmud Torahs, can be properly
maintained, and new schools brought
in, under the supervision of the Uni-
ted llebrew Schools.
System Approved.
In reaching the decision for the
drive, it was pointed out that the
system, standard of education, and
staff of teachers for the schools have
proved adequate, only the lack of
funds preventing the organization
from branching out into all parts of
the city where up-to-date, well organ-
ized Hebrew Schools are needed.

With more than $300,000 subscribed for the new Temple Beth El during
the first three days of the campaign, the drive for the mum of $400,000 for
the completion of the religious edifice approached the climax at noon
Thursday as The Chronicle was going to press, marking wl'at proved to
be the most successful canvass for funds ever undertaken for any cause in
the local Jewish community.
At the time that the figures showed 75 per cent of the sum asked sub-
scribed, only two-thirds of the Temple membership had been seen, not one
declining to make a contribution. Every day brought a hundred per cent
response.
Unlike campaigns in the course of which difficult prospects have to be
handled by the workers, the Temple Beth El teams are meeting with no
trouble in their canvass. Meetings held every evening of the past week
at the Temple, at which both men's and women's teams reported, assumed
the nature of testimonial gatherings where talcs of generosity as related
by workers seemed to outdo each other.
