ness. In order to be truly service-
able the American Jewish congress
must be free, and free it is, without
bonds or comtittant other than fur-
thering the well-being of the Jew.
"Two groups or kinds of Jews
choose or have chosen to stay out-
side of the American Jewish Con-
gress. There are those who deem
themselves too good to be bracketed
with any other Jews, and there are
those who think ordinary Jews not
good enough and too inferior to take
counsel with them. They first place
themselves beyond and outside of all
Jewry. Israel has no place for the
Jew who forsakes his brothers be-
cause he has forfeited his self-respect
and forsworn his own soul.
"We earnestly summon to counsel
those Jews who are faithful and con-
secrated and yet have failed up to
this time to see that in this land it is
the bounden duty of Jews to order
their affiars in truly democratic fash-
ion.
"This is no place for Jewish parti-
sonship and sectarianism. Israel is
wide and catholic enough to welcome
within its counsels all Jews who bear
their name with pride and their bur-
dens with dignity. Our motto must
be 'Nothing that is of interest to the
well-being and honor of Israel is out-
side the range of our collective con-
cern and solicitude as American
Jews.' We cannot fail our brother
Jews; we must not disappoint our fel-
low-Amercians. The honor of Israel
is in our keeping."

PHILADELPHIA.—Steps to com-
bat intolerance against Jews through-
out the world and to preserve Jewish
culture and history were urged in ad-
dresses and in resolutions adonted by
the American Jewish Congress in
session with 400 delegates from all
parts of the United States.
A resolution adopted at the session
"deprecates the sinister propaganda
by irresponsible agitators to sow sus-
picion and hostility among the Arab
population against the Jewish peo-
ple," and another expresses continual
friendship for the Lithuanian people.
Lithuania, the resolution declares, has
guaranteed minority rights to the
Jewish people.
We have just placed in our extensive galleries
some exquisite new pieces of this hand-made furni-
ture. They are exclusive in their style and can be
executed and decorated to match the color scheme
of any room. "Danersk" furniture is shown in De-
troit only by this store.
To Safeguard Jewiah Rights.
A pledge to "safeguard Jewish
rights the world over and carry the
minority rights principle into action
in all those countries where such
rights are demanded by the Jewish
inhabitants," is taken in another reso-
lution adopted by the congress.
The immediate removal of all re-
strictions on immigration into Pales-
tine was the basis of a resolution
which declared freedom of immigra-
tion to be the first condition of the
successful realization of the Jewish
homeland in Palestine.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New
York was selected as permanent
chairman of the convention.

Promises State Chautauqua.
Referring to the suggestions made
for a state chautauqua of B'nai B'rith
lodges, Mr. Wiener promised that,
with proper support and encourage-
ment from the various B'nai B'rith
lodges in the state, some sort of an
experimental chautauqua will be or-
ganized this year to give the mem-
bers and families a chance to spend
the summer at some summer resort
and at the same time hear an instruc-
tive series of lectures.
Rabbi Waterman of Kalamazoo
said that B'nai B'rith was second in
importance to the religion of Juda-
ism. Every religion, he said, is na-
tional in scope. Every religion had
its birth in nationalism and is rooted
in nationalism. Ile pointed out that
if Judaism will triumph it will be be-
cause Jews get together to stress
their kinship and unity one with an-
other.
Rabbi Bernard Stern of Jackson
spoke of the anti-Semitic movements
that still prevail. He referred to Hil-
laire Belloc's book, "The Jews," and
declared that such anti-Semitic ten-
dencies call for the continuation of
the work of the B'nai B'rith Anti-
Defamation League.
Tribute to "Daddy" Freund.
Julius Deutelbaum paid a tribute
to "Daddy" Freund on his seventy-
fifth birthday celebrated recently and
lauded him for his activities for B'nai
B'rith.
The musical program was featured
by several Yiddish selections by Mrs.
Ilarry Weingarten of Flint. Mrs.
Weingarten was cheered by the ban-
, queters for the manner in which she
sang "Yom Kippur," "Mayerke mein
Sohn" and "Tra-la-la-la."
Others who contributed to the mu-
sical program were Sam Mandell,
leader of the Pisgah Lodge glee club;
Aubrey Cherkose, the juvenile De-

HUDSON LEADS
IN CLOSED CARS
Growth of This Business in Five
Years One of Features of Au-
tomobile Industry.
Automobile m a n u f acturers are
agreed that the tremendous increase
in proportion of closed cars made
since 1916 has been one of the out.-
standing features of the automotive
business during that period. In that
year, 1.5 per cent of all motor cars
made in the United States was closed
cars. This proportion has risen rap-
idly each year since, reaching 25 per
cent in 1921, and it is still growing
at a phenomenal rate.
The Hudson Motor Car Company,
always among the leaders in propor-
tion of closed car sales, due to its
pioneering in this line, probably tops
all manufacturers today. Fifty-five
per cent of its entire output since
Jan. 1 has been in closed cars, it an-
nounces.
In 1921, 31 per cent of Hudson's
entire manufacture and 19 per cent
of the Essex output was in closed
cars. Decision to build the new coach
type and the ability of each concern
through volume sales to offer this
model at but little more than an open
car price, are generally accepted as
the reasons for the remarkable gain
each has made. Orders for these
types continue to pour into the fac-
tory in undiminished number, it is re-
ported.
The great demand for closed cars
has, however, curtailed production
for all manufacturers and has result-
ed in making the country-wide short-
age of both Hudson and Essex cars
even more acute, the companies an-
nounce. This is so because of the
greater time necessary to produce
closed car bodies. Hudson and Is-
sex have thousands of unfilled orders
on their books today, the statement
reads.
