The Detroit Zionist District is ideal success we must have the un- now engaged in a campaign for divided loyalty of all Jewry, and 1,000 members, and it is important without such loyalty it will become more and more difficult to raise the needed funds for Palestine. By strengthening the Zionist Or- ganization we make this possible. First, we open an avenue for study and cultural activity in Zionist ranks through our organizations; and secondly, we build through .1 large membership an army of workers and volunteers without whom drives for Palestine cannot succeed. There can be do disputing about this point. The most important work faring Detroit Jewry today is to build a numerically strong Zionist District, so that when the campaign opens for the United l'alestine Appeal on April 15 we may be able to say to the community that we have a force of ardent workers through whose efforts American Jewry's contributions towards the upbuild• ing of Palestine will be written on a golden page in Jewish history.

In this paper he pre- pared Jewish public opinion towards the day when Palestine would be autonomous, by having ! criticized the Young Turks for their supernationalism. He was thrown into prison but vindicated himself by his own speech before the Turkish judges, in Hebrew, which made a profound impression on them. Ile married a Spanish Jewess, member of an old Jewish family of Palestine. At the outbreak of the World War he declared himself immediately for the Allies, and managed to leave the country just }: 4 two hours before his condemnation t o death. His First American Tour. From this time, the activities of Mr. Ben Avi became that of an orator, and he has spoken in the United States alone over 700 times on behalf of the Zionist Organiza- tion, before Jewish and non-Jew- ish meetings, in temples, churches and cathedrals, Masonic lodges as well as universities. Everywhere Mr. Ben Avi tried to impress the people with the fact of the rising of a new Jewish generation charac- terized by a new Jewish type, of which he is but one of the many representatives. One innovation in his speeches is that he always closes with a few sentences in his beautiful Hebrew. On his ( return to Palestine fol- lowing the war he founded with a ground of young Palestinians the most powerful paper in the land. His enflamed articles, though not always agreeable to Zionist leaders, had a peculiarly healthy effect on Palestinian af- fairs and led nearly always to self- criticism of the work in Palestine. He also helped to create the Pal- estine organization, Beney-Benya- 44- min, the Progressive Young Farm- ers' Association, whose most en- thusiastic porte-parole he has be- come and on whose behalf he is now on his fourth visit to Amer- ica. In a few weeks he will pub- lish his second book in Latin characters for the learning of modern Ilebrev‘• in about six weeks, and his novel, "Eleazar" will shortly be published by the Century Publishing Company in English.
