Up to the year 1921, I have been

community in Detroit was not large

demands for charity, relief and re-

Hussein of iiedjat and the British
government has been lost somew' , ere
in transit between London and the
Arabian Peninsula, according to a
statement given to Reuters by Na-

Najiassil informed Reuters that he
had submitted to the British govern-
ment three months ago a plan for a
treaty with Ilussein, which the gov-

According to the plan presented,
Britain agreed to recognize and sup-

There is not a city in this country
of one-tbird the size of Detroit which
has not at. least one Jewish hospital.
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Boston and Baltimore have Jewish
hospitals.
The Maimonides Medical Society,
with a roster of over 70 Jewish doc-

pital and will lend every aid to push
it as a public need.
