Ford 'says he doesn't want tc be President—for possibly • very
good reason. Even his friend Thomas Edison was compelled to make
face of a man who has bitten into • lemon when asked what his opinion
of Ford's Presidential qualities were. After all, even if Edison has
spent so much time with Ford and has become hipped on the same
currency nonsense, he is still p d of a great deal of common
sense. I would like Mr. Ford or his Man Friday to inform me whether
or not he had intended to run for President on • third ticket in 19197

Dr. Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago is, I believe, the highest salaried
clergyman in the world, receiving $24,000 • year. It is interesting to
note that the budget of the Congregation Sinai of Chicago, Rabbi
Hirsch's (and when I say "Rabbi Hirsch's" I mean it in more ways
than one, because he is the dictator of the congregation), is $75,000
year. The rabbi is paid a salary of $15,000 and extra compensation
•
of $9,000, making • total of $24,000. Dr. Hirsch has been one of the
most dramatic figures in American Jewry. He was always doing the
unexpected and whet one attended his Sunday lectures in Chicago
one could usually count on Dr. Iiirsch saying something that would
add to the gayety of the congregation if not to the n•tion. He is •
remarkable scholar and • wonderful speaker. Of late I have not heard
much of this great rabbi, at least those famous "Hirsch stories" are
ao
not so frequent as they used to be. Perhaps now, in the winter of
life, he has decided to adopt • more charitable attitude toward his

PHILADELPHIA.—(J. C. B.) —
After a five-hour debate, a resolu-
tion was adopted by the Zionists of
America at the closing session of
their convention here, calling for the
appointment of a committee to "con-
sider with a similar committee from
the Palestine Development Council
the best manner in which co-opera-
tion may be obtained by the two
bodies for the speedy upbuilding of
Eretz Israel."
The adoption of this resolution fol-
lowed an all-night session of the na-
tional executive committee, which
deliberated the draft of a reso-
lution which came from a represent-
ative of the Palestine Development
Council.
The proposal, seeking harmonious
action between the two bodies, was
submitted by the "Brandeis group"
because they said that the resolution
previously adopted would be unac-
ceptable to the Palestine Develop-
ment Council, which included non-
Zionists.

Protestant, Catholic and Jew united in an ppeal to the President
to end the coal strike. It was the most striking demonstration of allied
religion that has been noted for some few centuries. For once quibbles
over words and shades of meanings were forgotten and even hate was
relegated for the moment to the limbo of forgetfulness and the for.

social justice. There could be no question that in the degree that such

I have just finished reading Rabbi Stephen Wise's book entitled
"Child Versus Parent;' published by the MacMillan Company. It is
a sensibly written book that ought to find a place in the library of
every thoughtful home. Dr. Wise makes it a give and take proposition
and gives some good advice both to chidlren and to parents. Jewish
parents in particular will be interested in the chapters he devotes to
the Jewish home. also takes a side swipe at the "camp craze"
that has taken hold of the country. And as usual our own people are

Resolution Adopted.

The discussion centered around the
advisability of including, as a basis
of the negotiations, recogntiion by
the Palestine Development Council of
the Keren Hayesod. Dr. Joseph
Cohen of New Orleans submitted to
the convention a draft omitting men-
tion of the Keren Hayesod, which,
he said. would be acceptable to the
P. D. C. The convention, however,
adopted the following resolution:
"Whereas, this convention recog-
nizes the importance of enlisting all
Jewish forces in the United States
for the social and economic develop-
ment of Palestine, regardless of pres-
ent or past affiliation of individuals
who are willing to aid in the task of
upbuilding Palestine, and
"Whereas, the Palestine Develop-
' meat Council has been organized in
the interest of the social and eco-
nomic
nomic development of Palestine, and
ill composed of Zionists - and non-
Zionists; and
"Whereas, the World Zionist Or-
ganization established the Keren
Hayesod for the purpose of carrying
on the work in the upbuilding of
Palestine; and
"Whereas, it is the understanding
of this convention that the Palestine
Development Council recognizes that

of this class struggle.

There is no doubt but Harvard is very much in earnest in her de-
termination to sift candidates for admission to the university. A
committee has been appoinkd by Dr. Lowell "to consider and report
to the governing boards, principles and methods for the more effec-
tive sifting of candidates for admission to the university." On this
committee there are three ',Jews, Professor Milton J. Rosemu of the
faculty of medicine, Professor Paul A. Sachs of the faculty of arts
and science, and Assistant Professor Harry A. Wolfson of the depart-
ment of arts and science. It seems to me that Dr. Lowell gives Har-
vard's position in this one sentence: "Americanization does not mean

So he believes in the "scattering" process; not to have too many of

•
the mine reasoning to • logical conclusion it might be an undesirable
condition to have, say, 75 per cent of the student body of any uni-
