The Defenders of the White and ,

afternoon at the Talmud Torah on
Westminster and Delmar, were ad-
new modish suits and

Present Zionist Situation," in which

the speaker outlined for the members
the existing conditions in the Jewish
Nationalist movement. Ile dwelt at
considerable length on the Arab ques-
tion and pointed out the fallacies of

many of the arguments of a handful
of Arab propagandists who claim to
represent a considerable number of
li
Arabs, but in reality represent only a
handful of Eifendis, Arab landowners.
Of particular interest was his
answer to the claim of the Arabs and
a number of anti-Semitic agitators,
who claled Zionism impracticable "be-
cause it does not solve the Jewish
problem since l'alestine can at most

accommodate only 2,000,000 of the 14,-
000,000 Jews in the world." The
speaker proved this to be a fallacy
and said in defense of his argument:
"Palestine, with an area of 23,000
square miles, has a population of
about 1,1)00,000. This figures out to
about 50 people per square mile of
population. By comparison we find

"We thus see that Palestine is much

NATIONAL FUN D WORKERS
PETITION SENATOR LODGE
FOR ZIONIST RESOLUTION

Jewish National Final workers, at
a most enthusiastic gathering Tues-
day evening at the Shaarey Zeilek,
drew up a reaolution to be sent to
United States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, chairman of the Senate for-
eign relations committee, and to the
President of the United States, urg-
ing them to do everything in their
power to bring about a speedy recog-
nition by the United States of the
Jewish aspirations for a National
Homeland in Palestine.
A committee chosen from the
body, consisting of I'hilip Katz, Eva
Croll, Mary Friedenberg, Joe Pike,
the same evening sent the following
telegram to Senator Lodge:
"One hundred Jewish National
Fund workers, representing 500 De-
troit Jewish young people, sincerely
petition and urge you to use your
best efforts to bring about favorable
action by the United States Congress
on your resolution favoring a Jewish
National Homeland in Palestine. The
passage of your resolution will be to
the everlasting credit of yourself,
your associates and American tradi-
tions."
The meeting was featured by a
most interesting program. I'auline
Wohl, who already won much praise
for her playing on the violin, excel-
lently rendered a selection, accom-
panied by Rose Bassin. Goldie Gold-
stein was equally as good in a vocal
solo. Fannie Blondy gave a humor-
ous Passover declamation.
Israel Zilber, chariman of the re-
cent campaign for the distribution of
Jewish National Fund boxes, ad-
dressed the gathering, explaining cer-
tain phases of National Fund work.
Ile also announced that Flower Day
this year will be celebrated on Sun-
day, June 11, and called on those
present to be prepared to offer them-
selves as volunteers on that day. Ile
also announced that on that day Dr.
Baer Epstein of The Hague, Holland,
will bring a movie of Palestinian life
to be shown here.
A number of volunteers will visit
boxholders this Sunday for the clear-
ing of the boxes, and those to be
visited are asked to receive the young
men and women courteously.
