"For the best interests of the Jewish community of De-
troit, the Board of Director. of the Detroit Jewish Herald has
decided to consolidate with the Detroit Jewish Chronicle,
forming thereby one of the largest Jewish periodicals in the
country.
"During the fourteen months of the Herald's existence,
in suite of the fine spirit of co-operation that was given as by
an important section of the community, it became evident that
our work was in a measure a duplication of what was already
being to ably done by the Detroit Jewish Chronicle.
"In the past two months we were especially urged to con-
solidate our forces with those of The Chronicle in order bent
to serve the unity of Detroit Jewry. We were encouraged to
take this step by a number of leaders in the community whose
sentiments we honor and whose opinions were that by fusing
the best that was in both neriodic•ls, the Jewish community life
would be further stimulated.
"Thus motivated, we take this opportunity. through the
columns of the Detroit Jewish Chronicle, with whom we ■ re
fused beainnina with this issue, to announce that the Herald
will henceforth no longer he published.
"We feel that The Chronicle, under the able editorship of
Mr. Philip Slomovitz, to whom we are grateful for the ideal
spirit with which he has conducted the editorial columns of
the Herald during the oast five months, now has reason to lay
claim to Lein ,• one of the leading Jewish periodicals in the
country, and under the new conditions is certainly an out-
standing Jewish weekly.
"We she this opnortunity, also, to thank our readers for
their fine co-one ration. They, too, will benefit. By being
replaced on 'he mailing list of The Chronicle, they will con-
tinue to receive the best that appeared in both publications,
plus the large volume of news matter appearing in The Chron-
icle which we, in our abbreviated form, were unable to pub-
lish in the Herald."

David A. Brown, national chair-

the ability of the trailers of Balti-

and successfully this joint appeal

United Palestine Appeal. "The

Baltimore. They will do their ut-
most for this campaign."
For the past month, the Jews of
Baltimore have been organizing for

every shade of Jewish opinion. Mr.
Ilendler, the chairman, appointed
teams, captained by leading Jews,
to enlist the interest of the com-

team organizations. Rallies were

Mordecai Menahem Kaplan,
eminent rabbi and educator, will
be the speaker before the Detroit
Jewish Open Forum on Sunday,
Jan. 29, at 3 p. m. in the audi-
torium of the Northern High
School, at Woodward and Owen.
Professor Kaplan will speak on,
"Judaism as a Civilization," a
subject that has provoked much :
discussion recently as a result of
the novel views advanced by Dr.
S. M. Melamed in "The Reflex."
Professor Kaplan was ordained
as rabbi by the Jewish Theological
Seminary in 1902. He has been
principal of the Teachers' Insti-
tute of the Seminary since 1909
and prfoessor of homiletics since
1910. It was he who advocated
the Jewish Center idea and heeded
the first institution of that name
in America. In 1922 Professor
Kaplan founded the Society for
the Advancement of Judaism, for
the purpose of reinterpreting Ju-
daism as a modern religious civil-
ization, and is still the leading
spirit of that society. He is a

aspects of Jewish life and thought,

NEW YORK.-1.1. T. A./—
The final scene in the recon-
ciliation between American
Jewry and Henry Ford, follow-

Semitic charges, the withdrawal
of his book, "The International
Jew," from circulation and the
change in the policy of his pa-

the office of Louis Marshall.
The Jewish Telegraphic
Agency learns that during his
stay in New York last week
Ilenry Ford called on Mr. Mar-

can Jewish Committee, at his
office, 120 Broadway, to ex-
press his friendly feeling and
to confer on a matter pertain-
ing to the liquidation of the
remnants of the legend of
Ford's anti-Semitism in Europe.
The call was made by pre-
vious appointment. Prior to
Mr. Ford's arrival in New York
an inquiry was made to Mr.
Marshall as to whether the date
of Mr. Ford's call was conveni-

many years he has been one of the
leading workers on the executive
board of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, as well as
on the board of governors of tine
