Jews is assuming alarming proportions, the Rozwoj party having estab-

Adverting to the rumors that Dr. Weizmann wishes to resign as presi-

by one man or the same men," the paper asserts. "Although the Jewish
World doesn't altogether see eye to eye with James de Rothschild, it must
confess that in the circumstances a much better successor would be difficult
to find. . . . But would Rothschild accept the office and will Dr. Weiz-

The political and economic conditions in Eastern Europe are such as
to compel East European Jews to immigrate to Germany, and it is im-
possible to prevent this immigration, Minister of the Interior Severing of
Prussia declared in a memorandum he submitted to the German Minister
of °reign Affairs concerning East European migration. Herr Severing
declares the Jewish question has assumed international proportions, a fact
which has been confirmed in the Palestine Mandate. The League of Nations
must accordingly regulate this question and find new roads if this migration
is to be diverted from Central Europe.

official statement of the Yidgescom in
reply to the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency correspondent's assertion
that money could be transferred more
cheaply. "This 10 per cent includes,
firstly, expenses of the Yidgescom in
forwarding the money from Berlin
and of its delivery to the addressee
located mostly in towns of White
Russia and Ukrainia; secondly, for
payment of the general Jewish re-
lief work; thirdly, to cover the spe-
cial charge which the government
bank of Soviet Russia makes for pay-
ing out dollars. Money transferred
through the Yidgescom is everywhere
paid out in dollars, the time required
for such transfer being from six to
eight weeks."
The Crown of Detroit Jewry.
The new Talmud Torah building
that was opened here last week is a
crown on the head of Detroit Jewry,
being the finest contribution yet made
by the united forces of our people
to the cause of Judaism and Jewish
education. The effect that the new
center is to have on the community
at large was already to be seen dur-
nig the very first week of the school's
opening. Crowds surged the building
every day, from morning to night,
giving promise that the new school
will not only be educational, but a
scoial and spiritual center. Already,
many young men and women are en-
rolling in classes for the study of the
Hebrew language, the Bible and Jew-
ish history. The plea made by Rabbi
Ilershman that a "Back to the Bible"
movement be instituted seems to have
found root in the hearts of the
younger generation, and much good is
to be expected to come to Judaism
from the new Hebrew headquarters.

Philip C. Joslin, a prominent attorney and conspicuously associated with
Jewish activities of Providence, R. I., was chosen speaker of the House of
Representatives of the state of Rhode Island, the highest office ever con-
ferred upon a Jew in that state. Mr. Joslin, who is a relatively young man,
served for two years on the committee of the Georgetown Law School,
whence he was graduated. Ile was then elected as representative of the
Fourth District tothe State Legislature. His ability as a speaker and leader
was recognized by both his own party, the Republican, as well as by the
opposing party and he held important committee positions. He was very
active its a member of the judiciary committee.
Considerable uneasiness is reported to be felt in Jewish circles in the
Ukraine as a result of the reappearance of the robber bands said to have
been newly equipped and organized on Polish soil. Vestiges of the last
bands were reported stamped out throughout the Ukraine, but it appears
that despite the incessant warfare waged against them by the government,
remnants of the bands succeeded in mustering more forces. Ample pro-
tection against attacks are said to have been provided, but the Jews are in
a highly nervous state. The Ukrainian government has sent a note to the
Warsaw government protesting that the bands were allowed to cross the
Ukraine.

An appreciable "back to the land" movement is to be noticed among
.Jews in the small towns in the provinces of Odessa, Kiev and Podolia, M.
Soloveitchick, a former agricultural expert of the "Ica," told the J. C. B.
correspondent. This movement is handicapped, however, because no credits
are available, and the Jews are prevented from forming co-operatives.
While the Soviets are willing to grant land, no agricultural committee
appears to be ready or able to furnish credits for machinery and live stock,
It is estimated that the results of the autumn sowing already finished, plus
the results of the spring sowing, if completed, would make all Jewish
colonies in the Ukraine independent for years to come.
Representatives of the anti-Semitic sections of the student body through-
out Roumania have handed to Minister of Education Anghelescu an ulti-
matum threatening a general walkout in the universities in the event the
government fails to immediately enforce the percentage norm against Jew-
ish students. A secret circular urging open warfare against labor and Jews,
distirbutde broadcast by the Roumanian Fascisti, is published by the Aurora,
one of the liberal Bucharest dailies. Two things particularly urged in this
circular are: That all arrivals in Roumania since the year 1916 he imme-
diately expelled from the country; that native Roumanians seize all industry
and commerce, a large proportion of which is alleged to be in the hands
of Jews.

Hundreds of Jews in Russia whose relatives in Palestine have secured
for them the right to join them there are ignorant of the fact that there
are visas awaiting them, the British consul at Moscow told your correspon-
dent. During the last year the consul granted only 150 visas to Palestine.
During the last three months, however, he had been instructed to grant
visas only to those whose names appear in a list from the Immigration
Department in Jerusalem, mostly women and children whose relatives are
in Palestine. Chaluzim are practically excluded because the consul is not
authorized to accept direct applications for visas. The contents of the lists
arriving from Jerusalem remain unknown, as the consul does not make
them public.

Adoption of ■ national immigration law that shall give the United
States the right to register, distribute, educate and otherwise supervise
aliens during their period of alienage will be urged upon Congress by
the National Association of Manufacturers, according to a statement issued
by the organization through its president, John E. Edgerton. The associa•
tion sees great economic danger to the nation "in the present emergency
of depleted labor caused by the restrictions of the 3 per cent immigration
law" and favors, instad, a broad policy of selective immigration as an ulti• ,
mate goal, it stated. "The Secretary of Labor should be authorized," the
association recommends, "upon the presentation to him of satisfactory evi-:
dence of a continuing shortage of labor of a particular class or type, to
admit otherwise inadmissable aliens in excess of the quota until in his judg_
ment such condition is improved."

An agreement concluded betWeen the Jewish Joint Distribution Corn-,
mittee of New York and the Soviet government whereby the committee
receives 1,000 cars of cool for the heating of children's homes and institu-
tions maintained by the c,,mmittee in the Ukraine. In return the committee
undertakes to establish a $200,000 credit in New York, where the Soviets
will buy coal mining machinery. The coal obtained by the committee ink
Russia is 40 per rent below the cost of imported coal. Of far-reaching ,
importance in the general agreement just ratified by the government per-
milting the Jewish Joint Distribotion Committee to choose the places for
its reconstructive relief program in any part of Russia or the Ukraine.
The agreement may be broken by the Jewish committee giving 60 days' ,
notice. In that event the government promises to allow the "Joint" per-1
sonnel and materials to leave Russia unhampered.

Price $1240, 1. o. b. factory—Five Disc Wheels and Nash Self-Mounting Carrier, $25 additional
A New Line of Cars
Brilliant though Nash history has been with sound and practical achieve-
ment these new Fours and Sixes must inevitably bring fresh fame to the
name and a special precedence to the product.
An exceptional aptitude for the co-ordination of blue-print and raw ma-
terial, an unhurried devotion to detail, an infinite mastery of the compli-
cated processes of production, and the widest resources in men, money,
and machinery have reproduced themselves in these cars whose superiority
is immediately recognizable.
The new engineering developments now presented are not confined to
the motor, the frame, and the carburetor system but extend even to the
minor elements of design.
The moment the car is in motion they reveal themselves in greater
steadiness and smoothness, an enhanced balance and solidity, a brisker
acceleration, a deepened riding comfort, and a pronounced reduction in
operative cost.
