OF LAND TO JEWS

Government of Ukraine Orders

Census of Number Wishing

To Become Farmers.

MOSCOW.— The Ukraine govern-
ment has ordered all district and pro-
vincial Soviets to take a census of the
Jewish pooulation to ascertain the
number desulety to take up agricul-
tural work and settle on the land.
Special commissions which will be or-
ganized for this purpose will be en-
trusted with the task of acquainting
the Jewish population with the gov-
ernment project to allot land to Jew-
ish settlers free of charge.

The census is undertaken in order
to find out what amount of land will
be required. It is believed the Ckraine
state lands will scarcely he enough to
satisfy thy hints with the Ukraine it-
self and there is a project to appor-
tion land to Jewish salient in the
Crimea. The question already has
already been brought before the Crim-
ean Count it of Commissars, who re-
gard the matter favorably.
The Crimea has huge stretches of
free land and the question of coloni•
zation has for xi long time been discus-
Red by the Crimean government. The
Crimean Porters themselves are peace-
ful and rather favor the Jewish ele-
ment as neighbors, considering them
sober and industrious. A hundred
thousand families, it is expected, will
be able to settle in the Crimea during

the next few years as a result of the'
present negotiations.

Lack of Funds • Handicap.

Absence of funds is the only draw-
back to the great scheme, as the gov-
ernment is unable to find funds to put
the land in a condition suitable for
immediate settlement. Jewish organi-
zations are looking to their American
friends to come to their relief.

While the Orthodox Jews criticize

Building, building, building! They
are building in Tel As-in and vicinity.
The streets of the city are moving
step by step towards the sea. To the
north and east new suburbs are
springing up. There are the Nordic
suburb, and the new Boruchov quar-
ter, where an excellent training farm
for girls is being conducted.
I stopped to talk to a portly-looking
Jew who was bustling about near a
house under construction. I soon
learned that he was to occupy the
house.
"Well, neighbor," I remarked,
"how does it feel to build a home in
the homeland?"
Ile smiled and wiped his forehead.
"It took me four years before I could
start," he replied.
"Until you got rich here," I
laughed.
"I am as poor as I was," he an-
swered. "The difference is that the
General Mortgage Bank was estab-
lished and I was able to get a loan."
In the establishment of this bank
American money had the leading part,
for it was founded with some of the
first funds which the Zionist leader,
Dr. Weizmann, raised in the United
States some two or three years ago
fur the Keren Ilayesod. Hundreds of
homes and other buildings have been
made possible through this bank.
They have been erected in the colo-
nies as well as the suburbs, towns and
cities.
My builder complained that it was
no easy matter to get a mortgage
loan.
"Perhaps the bank is not too over-
stocked with money," I ventured to
remark.
"True," he answered, "I suppose I
ought to carry my complaint not to
the bank but to the Jews of the world
and especially to you American Jews.
However," he added, "the money I
did get is really American money and
even the bricks that I am using are
being made here by Americans. I
suppose we need America as much as
we need England."

These men, like true Re-
publicans and with

sportsmanship, place coun-
try and party above personal
pride. Read what they say in
resolutions adopted without
Capt. Sosnowski's previous
knowledge:

"We, the primary election opponents of John B.
Sosnowski for the Republican nomination as represen-
tative from the First district, do believe •
"That we can hest serve our party, city, state and
country by uniting our support and efforts for the
election of the Republican candidate for Congress.
"That at no time was there greater need of a united,
harmonious Republican party to preserve the Consti-

tution and the fundamental rights of Americans.
"That the voters of the First district can do no

more than to have their district represented by one
born in Detroit; who stands squarely for the principles
of the party, and who will support President Coolidge's
efforts to give the American people an administration
insuring prosperity and happiness to all.
"We believe that John B. Sosnowski, by virtue of
his military service, his successful business experience
and his demonstrated ability to handle large public
affairs, is eminently qualified to be our representative.
That John B. Sosnowski will represent the entire dis-
trict without fear, favor or prejudice.
"We, therefore, urge all voters who have the inter-
ests of their party and the First district at heart not
only to cast their ballots for him November 4, but to
request all their friends to do likewise.
"We pledge ourselves, in the interests of Amer-
icanism and Republicanism, to stand four-square be-
hind the candidacy of John B. Sosnowski for
Congress."

AT HOME

I went to Jaffa, where the landing
of immigrants takes place.
Landing at Jaffa is an exciting ex-
perience. More than once your heart
goes to your mouth as the boats, pro-
pelled by the Arab boatman with his
. pole-like ora, dodge in and out among
the rocks which strew this so-called
harbor. I have been told that they
expect to build a real harbor outside
Jaffa, and the people's trust may soon

are other Palestinians who believe
that Haifa should logically become
the principal port of the country.
I made the acquaintance of a young
I halutz from Roumania. Ile spoke al-
most perfect English. Hu told me
'that he would rather break rocks for
road building in Palestine than live
in luxury and ease in Bucharest. I
knew what he referred to. I had read
of the merciless persecutions to which
the Jewish students of Roumania and,
for that matter, of other lands also,
were subjected.

The following day, eager to know
what became of him, I went to a cer-
tain attic.. or bureau, as they call it
here, and they took me to a place
outside Jaffa. to a tent colony, where
I found my young friend. I found
him stretched out in the shadow of
the tent. He said he felt as Milton
did when he wrote "Paradise Re-
gained."
"So you hive regained Paradise,"
I remarked. Ile laughed and said that
they had promised him employment
with some labor group that was going
I out on Fl ddrainage job SOmewhere in
Galilee in a few days. "That will be
Paradise," he suddenly ejaculated.
I was inquisitive to learn who
"they" were, and what in general this
tent colony was. I learned that the
colony was an immigrant receiving
station, maintained by the Keren
Ilayesod, where the chalutzim stayed
employment for them was
found. It gives onea welcome sense
of security to learn of such organized
assistance.
"Well," I said to my young friend,
"you are then a guest of the Keren
Ilayestol."
"I am not a guest," he replied. "In
Palestine I am everywhere
at home."

HOMES IN THE HOMELAND

I will confess that In Jaffa I found
nothing to quench my thirst for nov-
elty. I have seen Arabs before strid-

that poise and dignity which Euro-
pean clothes are unable to impart. A
