GENEVA.—(J. T. A.)—A well
known American" Protestant will
head the commission that is to have
custody of the holy places in Pales-
tine—Christian, Jewish and Moslem
--the League of Nations has decided.
The decision is in line with the pro-
posals submitted by the Earl of Bal-
four on behalf of Great Britain, dif-
fering only in this: that a French-
man instead of an Englishman is ap-
pointed to preside over the Christian
sub-commission, an Italian instead of
a Frenchman presiding over the Mos-
lem commission and an American in-
stead of an Italian being named
chairman of the Jewish sub-commis-
sion, Great Britain has waived its
right to have one of its nationals head
a sub committee, it is understood, in
order that an American may be in-
cluded among the chairmen in addi-
tion to the American Protestant who
is to preside over the whole commis-
sion.
The Christian sub-commission is to
be composed of three Catholics, an
Italian, a Spaniard and a Belgian.
besides three representatives of the
Greek Orthodox Church, a Russia, a
Greek and one to be designated. Rep-
resentatives of the Armenian, Abys-
sin'an, and Copt Churches are also
to be included.
Jewish Sub-Commission.
Custody of the Moslem holy places
is entrusted to a sub-commission
comprised of three Palestinian Mos-
lems, one French Moslem and one In-
dian.
The Jewish sub-commission will
consist of one Palestinian, one Eng-
lish Jew and one Jew of Sephardic
stock.
In the course of the debate on the
report of the Council of the League
of Nations, Professor Murray of the
South African delegation asserted the
council's method of dealing with the
question of minority rights had not
proven universally successful. Ile
had personally received a number of
complaints, Professor Murray said,
which tended to show that the con-
dition at least of the Jewish and
Macedonian minorities in some coun-
tries was not satisfactory. Professor
Murray proposed the establishment
of a commission to probe and report
on the minority situation, the League
to base its action on that report.

The public is invited.
The interior, the very atmosphere
of his summer home, tells one at a
glance that the house is inhabited by
a Jew of staunch principles and tra-
ditions, by one to whom Judaism is
the source of all that is good, true
and beautiful. The Rosenblatts keep
open house, and it is never too late
for a friend to drop in for a cup of
tea or a friendly chat.
I looked at the handsome, black-
bearded man, simple, unassuming,
friendly and full of the joy of exist-
ence, and my imagination painted in
most vivid colors the life of this great
artist, beloved not alone of Jew, but
if Gentile as well.
Although Mr. Rosenblatt had just
returned from a six-hour trip from
Fallsberg, where he sang the night
before, there was not a trace of fa-
tigue about him. It did not take us
long to become acquainted. When
I say acquainted, I do nto mean the
official introduction and all other con-
ventionalities. I mean to say that
in but a few minutes I felt as though
I had known the famous cantor for
years. It was only a few minutes
after we were introduced, and al-
ready Rosenblatt stood at the piano
and, apparently feeling inspired, gave
as an impromptu recital.
I heard Rosenblatt sing on many
an occasion before, but this recital
was quite unusual, being that it took
place at his home, where one could
not only listen to the singer's silver-
golden voice, but could, at the same
time, study the man from whose
throat the wondrous melody flowed.
And what an interesting study • it
was!
"Why sing now?" I asked him.
"You must be quite tired after your
lung trip and your concert last
night."
"And tonight I am to sing again,"
he smilingly interrupted me. "There
is an affair at Scarborough Hall for
the Red Bank Synagogue building
fund," and he went on with his sing-
ing.
Sing. Without Effort.
Rosenblatt sings without effort. He
has perfect control of his wonderful
voice and modulates it at will. His
falsetto, his coloratura, are perfect
and natural, his trill strikingly un-
usual for a male voice.
And then his versatility! Hie rich
and endless repertoire! He began
with a Hebrew melody, then followed
it up with an operatic aria, then a
Yiddish lullaby, then a Russian folk
song, and what nut? Between selec-
tions the singer would turn round to
each of the members of his family,
or to the guests present, and ask
their opinion of what he had just
sung, and inquire what they would
like him to sing next.
After the concert was over, I saw
my chance to get into a talk with my
host.

Stop Sale of Ford
Pamphlets at Fair
Samuel Takes Oath As 1
Arabs Oppose Mandate
Action Brought to Bear on
Officials by Dr. Emil
Amberg.
The sale of Henry Ford's anti-
Semitic pamphlets containing, re-
prints from the attacks on the Jews
in the Dearborn Independent was
stopped at the Michigan State Fair
by John A. Doelle, commissioner of
the State Fair, four days prior to the
closing of the annual exhibition.
The order to put a stop to the
sale of the discriminating literature
was given following the receipt by
Mr. Doelle of a letter from Dr. Emil
Arnhem of this city, who questioned
the fairness of allowing the Ford
anti-Semitic propaganda to be spread
with the help of the state of Michi-
gan, in the course of the annual State
Fain The Ford interests had a spe-
cial space reserved at the fair
grounds for the Dearborn Indepen-
dent.
Dr. Amberg's letter, questioning
the fairness of the state officials. in
allowing the sale of Ford's propa-
ganda, follows:
"In the 'Announcement' of your
official program you quote:
"'Fairs are time keepers which
mark the progress of states and na-
tions.' by William McKinley.
"May I inquire whether the offer-
ing of booklets in the Ford tent for
25 cents each, derogatory to a race,
marks a progress of this state, or, is
in harmony with the spirit of the
constitution of the United States?"
The prompt and satisfactory reply
that came from Dr. Doelle follows
"We appreciate your letter of
Sept. 4 and desire to say that the
matter of the booklets which were
being sold at the Ford tent has been
taken care of and I believe you will
find that none of these are being dis-
posed of at the present time.
We were not aware that this was
being done and immediately upon re-
ceipt of your letter took care of the
situation. We appreciate very much
your co-operation, because none of
those connected with the State Fair
desire that anything should be done
which might in any way offend any-
one in the state."

CHALUZIM CALLED
HORDE OF ALIENS
Churchill and Sydenham Spar
Over Present Immigrants
to Palestine.
LONDON.—(J. T. A.)—The cor-
respondence that passed between Col-
onial Secretary Churchill and Lord
Sydenham, the well-known antagonist
of Zionism, which has just been pub-
lished is nothing if not indicative of
the change that has taken place in the
minds of some Englishmen towards
the Zionist question.
This change is, indeed, the first
thing Mr. Churchill draws the Lord's
attention to, when he blandly inquires
after showing that in 1917 Lord Sy-
denham was a staunch supporter of
Zionism, "what intervening has con-
verted the Jewish people into a horde
of aliens?" The expression "horde of
aliens" was used by the Lord to de-
scribe the present immigration of
Chaluzim. And. Mr. Churchill contin-
ues: "Your opinions may undergo a
complete change, the Jewish relation
to Palestine remains unaltered."
"Dumping" Immigrants.
In his reply, Lord Sydenham admits
that he has changed his opinion. He
had no knowledge of conditions in Pal-
estine, he says, and was unaware that
the Balfour Decdaration had been ob-
tained after prolonged and by "under-
hand methods." Ile never dreamed
that a Jewish government would be
established, imagining that a "slow
immigration of desirable Jews" would
he permitted. Now East European
Jews are being dumped into Palestine.
The Jews; the Lord insists, have no
more claim to Palestine than the
Moors of Southern Spain. "The Horde
of Aliens" is the correct description
of the present immigrants, he says.
Secretary Winston Churchill, reply-
ing to the charge of "dumping," de-
clares that it is the government's pol-
icy to bring into i'aiestine "carefully
selected immigrants, and that gradu-
ally without injury to the inhabitants.
Denies "Underhand Methods."
The assertion that the Balfour Dec-
laration was obtained by "underhand
methods" is indignantly repudiated
by Mr. Churchill who says it was due
to "wide and deep arguments clearly
explained." Similarly, the charge that
it is contemplated to establish a "Jew-
ish Government" is denied. The Gov-
ernment is British, with the partici-
pation of Jews and Arabs. "The

CLOVER HILL MEMORIAL CHAPEL
TO BE CONSECRATED ON SUNDAY
MEMORIAL CHAPEL OF CLOVER HILL PARK CEMETERY, WOODWARD AVENUE AT IS-MILE ROAD
Memorial Chapel of Clover Hill Park
Cemetery of Congregation Shaarey Zedek will be consecrated Sun-
day, Sept. 17, at 2 p. m. Designed by Architect George V. Pottle, the
memorial chapel harmonizes with the
landscape of the cemetery, and in its unpretentious
beauty adds to the attractiveness of the cemetery. The
exterior of the building is of limestone, the wide cornices and deep reveals of the piers giving an effective play
of light and shade. The floor is gray tile with glazed polychrome inserts, while the ceiling and seats are oak,
finished gray. A number of crypts are provided in the basement, also a preparatory room in white enamel with
terrazzo floor and marble slab. In the second
story on the main entrance is the superintendent's office.
One of the features of
the consecration will be the unveiling of the bronze memorial tablet, which contains
over two hundred names. The tablet is made in book form and placed in the
lobb y. Upon it the
nd this shall be written

project as a material proposition not

Rev. Healy spoke on "Fun, Facts,

topic that was stretched by the

rupted only by the appearance in the

The Board of Officers of Temple
Beth El is not yet ready to announce
the exact date for the dedication of
the new Temple, but it will take place
shortly after the clone of the holy

at work upon the building and there
is reason to believe that it will be

time.
