The first official move looking to the introduction of percentage norm,
limiting the number of Jewish students in Germany's higher seats of learn-
ing, was taken when the student council of the Berlin trade schools, repre-
senting the majority of the students, submitted a memorandum to the
"Student Parliament" urging that steps be taken to restrict the number of
Jews in universities.

On the eve of the meeting with his two sons, King Hussein of the Iledjes
has issued an appeal to the British nation complaining that Britain did not
fulfill the obligations it had undertaken to help cement unity among the
Arab peoples. Ilussein deplores that the Arab people charge him with sell-
ing their interests to Great Britain and he therefore appeals to Britain to
renew its prestige by helping establish a 'united Arab nation ruling over
all Arab lands."

Proof for lack of interest in Jewish
matters on the part of Jewish student
bodies can be found in the death of
organizations like the Intercollegiate
Menorah and the intercollegiate Zion-
ist Association. For a little over a
decade, these two intercollegiate
bodies have served the interests of the
Jewish student. While they existed,
they were fruitful. Jewish students
then took an interest in Jewish litera-
ture and shown concern over the trend
of Jewish events. Since the war, both
organizations have died. A chapter
still exists here and there, but the
groups are (lead insofar as their na-
tional character is concerned.. There
is a movement on foot to revive them,
and there is hope that the initators of
a revived 1. Z. A. (Intercollegiate
Zionist Association) and the new lint-
el Foundation (the first chapter of
which was founded at the University
of Illinois) will be successful. If a
real Jewish leadership is to he train-
ed to take the place of the "leader-
ship of Jewish millionairedom, they
must be made successful.
Three months' grace has been given the American Jewish Joint Distri-
bution Committee to liquidate its relief activities in Poland, the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency learns. The order permitting the committee to remain
an additional three months was issued by Minister Soleaneing, who is
understood to have reconsidered the previous decision to have the committee
leave Poland by Jan. 1.

which are in any way organized, have

Major St. John Philby, the British political officer in Transjordania,

King Hussein of the Iledjas and to escort him to Amman, where a confer-

The bandit leader Kuprenko, operating under General Petlura, has paid
with his life for the many lives he has been guilty of snuffing out during
the pogrom wave in the Ukraine. Kuprenko was tried by the District Court
sitting in Kiev and he was sentenced to death for the shooting of a Jewish
family in a village in Kiev district. Witnesses described the terrible
pogrom scenes under Kuprenko's participation and orders. The death sen-
tence was executed by a firing party.
At a dinner at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, of the committee of
twenty-five of the Business Men's Council of the Federation for the Support
of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, Arthur Lehman, president of the federa-
tion, announced only $50,000 remained to be raised to clear the deficit of
$1,000,000. This defict, Mr. Lehman said, had been incurred during the
year in maintaining 91 institutions, whose total budget for 1923 was
$3,351,773. He reported $700,000 was raised in the last six months.

The Palestine government is considering a draft of a naturalization
low wherein provision is being made for the automatic naturalization of
Ottoman subjects. Residents other than former Ottoman subjects may be
naturalized only two years after filing application. No special facilities
are offered Jews, who in the main are not citizens of the former Ottoman
empire. New Palestinian citizens, leaving the country during five years,
will lose their citizenship, according to the present draft of the law.
A Moral in Two Photographs.
Two paragraphs printed in a recent
issue of the New York Times contain
a great moral lesson. They are pic-
tures brought over from Russia and
show a contrast in faces in the pres-
ent and coming generations of the
Soviet. The coming generation is
shown as the main factor in the cam-
paign against ignorance, and the glow
in the eyes of the youths who are
pictured in a geography class in a
Moscow school offers the most impor-
tant reason why the Soviet may sur-
vive. The Bolshevik regime is train-
ing the new generation to think in
terms of Communism. It is produc-
ing a generation of economists who
are taught to think in terms of Bol-
shevism. Having been captured by
the present rulers of Russia from the
time they were four or five years old,
there is little hope of anyone ever re-
capturing these idealists. Be their
cause right or wrong, they are bound
to remain Communists, because the
Communist theory formed the very
basis of their childhood and their edu-
cation. There is a great lesson in this
for the Jewish people. If we want to
win the interest of the young, we must
provide them with that educational
background which will hold them for
the rest of their lives. That is why
we believe the Talmud Torah to be the
most important institution. You can't
expect to attract the young to t' -, e syn-
agogue unless they understand its
ideals and know the language of the
synagogue's prayerbook. Build five-
day-a-week Talmud Torahs (to the
exclusion of the two-hour-a-week Sun-
day schools) and you may hope to
build an active young Jewry. Other-
wise our hopes are forlorn.

Over 90% of all these

Sir Herbert Samuel will leave for Amman, the capital of Transjordania,
to meet King Hussein of the liedjas, who is expected there shortly to confer
with his two sons, the Emir Abdullah from Transjordania and King Feisul of
Mesopotamia. It is understood that Sir Herbert will discuss with the Hedjas
ruler details of the Anglo-Arab treaty about to be concluded. Official
notification of the Iledjas ruler's visit to Amman has been sent by the
Colonial Office to Sir Herbert Samuel. Arabs are making preparations for
the possible visit by King Ilussein to Jerusalem. It is understood that an
envoy of the king, Sheik Omar Shaker, is expected in Jerusalem in an
effort to adjust the differences between the Arab parties.

Israel Zargwill, in a curtain speech at the opening performance of his
new play, "We Moderns," at the National Theater, Washington, referred
to the current conflict in the Christian church after he wished his audience
• "Merry Christmas." Speaking on Christmas eve, Mr. Zangwill said it
was rut theology that distinguished Christianity but its spiritual content.
The Madonna, he said, represents motherhood, and Christ sacrifice. There
was a good-sized audience at the opening of the play, including a consider-
able proportion of Jews. The play was warmly received and Mr. Zangwill,
who was obviously the chief interest of the audience, was applauded until
he was obliged to respond. Ile recalled that he was in the same theater 16
years ago when his "Melting Pot" was produced, during w:iich Theodore
Roosevelt was present.
