LIPSKY'S REGIME IS HIT BY HADASSAH'S DISAPPROVING VOTE Lack of Confidence Resolu- tion Adopted at Meeting Of National Board. NATHAN STRAUS JOINS FORCES OF OPPOSITION Program of Change Adopted For Proposal at Forth- coming Convention. NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.) — A vote of no confidence" in the pres- ent administration of the Zionist Organization of America, definitely aligning the Hadassah leadership with the oppositional elements within American Zionism against the Lipsky administration, was passed at the closing session of the National Board of Hadassah, the National Convention Not to be Held Here. The Detroit Jewish Chronicle learns that the national conven- tion of the Zionist Organization of America, originally scheduled to be held in Detroit the latter part of June, will instead con- vene in Washington, D. C. Verb- al statements by national officers of the organization, made to a Detroiter who was On a visit to New York, gave as the only rea- son for the change that "Wash- ington is more centrally locat- ed." The change was made in spite of the fact that local offi- cers, according to Robert Mar- wil, president of the Detroit Dis- trict, wired approving the hold- ing of the convention here. Women's Zionist Organization o America, late Sunday night. About 130 members of Hadassah including the members of the nu tional board and chairmen of Ha dassah chapters and regional units were present at the sesisons which began on Saturday night and ended late Sunday night. The sessions were declared executive and no press representatives were admit- ted. A statement issued after the close of the session declared that the special meting of the national board was called for the purpose of clarifying the position of Hadassah FORD LIKES US • Many Don't Believe It, But He Admires Jews, He Says in London Interview. -- LONDON. -- (J. T. A.) - - 11enry Ford testified to his change of mind with regard to the Jewish people in an inter- view he granted to a represen- tative of the Jewish Youth Magazine, n London weekly newspaper. "Although some people don't believe it. the fact of the mat- ter is that 1 have the greatest admiration for the Jewish peo- ple," Henry Ford declared. The Jewish people have great merchants and captains of in- dustry who have kept the world's business going. People are often lazy and when Jews' initiative easily causes them to reach the ladder's top, by devo- tion to duty and high princi- ples, their neighbors are jealous and prejudice grows." "The Zionist movement will play a great part," Mr. Ford stated in reply to a question about the I'alestine work. "I do not believe that the whole Jewish people desires to return to Palestine, but it will be the home of the Jews who are per- secuted in backward countries and an inspiration to Jews everywhere. The Jews should, in my opinion, keep firmly to their faith and render their full service to the business life of s tile world."

Warburg to the $10,000,000 fund sought by the Amerttan Jewish Joint Agricultur- al Corporation for the establish- ment of Jewish Agricultural col- onies in Russia was announced Thursday by James N. Rosenberg, chairman of the corporation. The subscription, which was made conditional upon the success- ful raising of the balance of the fund, brought the total pledged within a month to $6,500,000. Jul- ius Rosenwald of Chicago recently subscribed $5,000,000 and smaller subscriptions amounting to $500,- 000 have been received. Not Opposed to Palestine. In confirming the announcement Mr. Warburg said it was not his in- tention to divert interest from the plan of the World Zionist Organi- zation to establish a Jewish nation- al home in Palestine. Ile said he recently gave $50,000 to the Zion- ist cause and was seeking to estab- lish Jews on farms throughout the world.

Felix Mendelsohn Points to "Scholars' Festival" As a Fitting Occasion for Stimulating Good Jew- ish Reading in Jewish Homes. can get to understand and appreci- ate the Jew and his faith without careful and devoted study. If Judaism in this country no longer has a strong hold upon the masses of our people, it is primarily due to the fact that we do not any more cherish sacred feelings about books. Let us, however, be frank enough to admit that our spiritual leaders are, at least to some ex- tent, to be blamed for this state of affairs. We have preached and appealed to our people in behalf of anything and everything but we have neglected to popularize the Jewish book. There was a time when the complaint was made that we do not have a Jewish literature in the English language, but this complaint no longer holds true to- day. Good books in English are published annually but they enjoy a poor circulation and they are not read. "It seems to us that the week following Lag B'Omer, which is known as the 'Scholars' Festival,' would be • very fitting occasion for Jewish Book Week. Let the rabbis of America devote their sermons on the Sabbath preceding Lag B'Omer, which falls on May 4, to the Jewish book. Let them on this Sabbath point out the his- toric role of the book in Judaism and urge the people to continue to buy and read good Jewish books. Because of the proximity of Lag B'Omer to confirmation rabbis could also urge Jewish parents to buy Jewish books as gifts for con- firmants."

Fol- lowing last year's procedure, ar- rangements have been male with rabbis and Jewish institutions to feature addresses and lectures on the value of reading Jewish litera- ture. A special appeal has been made to the rabbis of the country to preach sermons during that week, urging their congregations to give support to the idea of popu- larizing the reading of Jewish books. The institution of Jewish Book Week as a feature of Jewish life in this country has aroused A strong response. The idea origi- nated with Rabbi S. Felix Mendel- sohn of Temple Beth Israel of Chi- cago, who has taken the lead again this year "We Jews are known as the Peo- ple of the Book. We have given to the world its greatest book, the Bible, and the genius of our peo- ple has always expressed itself in the writing of and love for books. In the ghetto a Jewish home with- out a collection of representative books was unthinkable. In our day and in this country, however, we seem to be losing our tradi- tional attachment to the printed word. There are Jewish homes where even the Bible and a set of prayer books are not to be found," says Dr. Mendelsohn in a state- ment in which he calls for the repetition of Book Week this year.

On behalf of the organization committee, Mandell Bernstein has prepared the following statement for I'isgah Lodge: "Aside from its support of the outstanding orphan, widow and in- firniity homes for the aged and in- digent; its hospitals, its consump- tive homes, its relief and philan- thropic activities, the work of the B'nai B'rith is essentially and basically Jewish. The Jew must guard against an inferiority com- plex. The thrusts and indignities of centuries heaped upon the Jew has made him weak and cowering. "To unshackle these chains of inferiority and to infuse again the red blood of courage and man- hood is the aim of the B'nai B'rith. "The pressure of the anti- defa- mation committee of the B'nai F1'rith clarified the Jewish position in anti-Semitic attacks. When r a re pant was anti-Semitism throughout the world, B'nai B'rith anti-defamation committees crys- talized public opinion against the forces of bigotry." The Ladies' Auxiliary of B'nai B'rith will meet Monday evening, April 30, at S p. in. in the Com- munity Building. All members are urged to attend and to help plan for the Mother's and Daugh- ter's night Monday evening, May 7, at B'nai B'rith Center. Mem- bers and their friends are invited.
