Rabbi A. M. Hershman, veteran
Detroit Zionist, delivered the prin.
tilde address of the evening, in
which he declared that the Zionist
movement must stand on the plat-
form embodied in the Balfour Dec-
laration. Rahbi Hershman de-
clared that regardless of all handi-
caps, the Balfour document was the
greatest happening in Jewish life
and expressed the need for Zionists
who should live a Zionist life and
help bring us nearer the realization
of the Zionist ideal.

who have been honored by the Cell- ,
trill Conference of American Rah-

America who could more adequate-

taken up at the Coot] Will dinner

Arthur Ilendriek Vandenberg is
one of the most outstanding citi-

five presidents and hundreds of
prominent political and business
leaders. His ability as a speaker
is unquestioned. Frank M. Sparks
said of him: "It is doubtful if
America boasts today of a greater
orator than Arthur II. Vandenberg.
A coiner of phrases which live,
painter of word pictures which
charm, and personal magnetism

Henry Ford on Monday. In a
statement given to the press
after his interview with Sir,
Ford, Mr. Bernstein said:
"Mr. Ford and I chatted to-
gether like a couple of old
friends. The articles which ap-
peared in the Dearborn Inde-
pendent, and about which my
suit was based, Come into the
conversation.
"Mr. Ford told me that his
retraction had been made with-
out reservations of any sort,
and that he never had any ani-
mosity against the Jewish peo-
ple. I told him that I sincerely
felt his action had dealt a dead-
ly blow to race prejudice all
over the world."
Mr. Bernstein said Mr. Ford
told him that he intended call-
ing on hint in New York, but
that his intention had been de-
layed by many urgent duties.
