Jews are urged to close their places of busineso on the af- ternoon of Tuesday, in order to strengthen the effect of the pro- test. Proclaim Fast Day. Following the example of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada, the Dc troit Orthodox rabbis declared a fast day for Wednesday, Rosh Chodesh Mini, the day following the mass protest meeting here, to mourn the sad happenings. At the same time practical steps are being taken to alleviate the sufferings of the victims in the Arab outrages. The meeting on Wednesday evening took steps to erganize a Palestine emergency fund committee to create a large fund to supply medical aid and food to the victims. Ask Day's Earnings. Upon motion of Samuel Noah Ileyman, prominent Detroit engi- neer, who was born in Palestine, the conference unanimously voted to call upon every Jew in Detroit to give at least one day's earnings to this fund. Isaac Shetzer was appointed treasurer of the emergency con- 1 mince, and a spontaneous response by the audience brought $1,200 in cash contributions ranging in sums from 81 to $25, except for Mr. Shetzeir's gift of $100 and two 550 contributions, one from a group of young people who made the donation anonymously. Con- gressman Robert H. Clancy, who +was a speaker at the meeting, gave $50 towards the fund and accepted honorary membership on the com- mittee. Stern Muds Committee.

NEW COMPANY FOR YIDDISH THEATER DENY ANTI•JEWISH BIRABIDJAN UNREST The failure of the British Administration in Palestine to guarantee the safety of the Jewish population once again reveals the true color of British officialdom there, whose unfriendliness to Jewish effort and aspiration, and whose refusal to carry into effect the provisions of the Mandate for Palestine which call for the establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, are proof not only of the anti-Zionist attitude of men pledged to Zionist policy, but of their anti-Jewishness as well.

Statement Based on Facts. This is not a statement made in a moment of resentment at what has happened to our people, and at the manner in which our rights have been trampled under foot by English colonial officers. It k a statement based on facts. While it is painful to uncover ancient : tragedies and old wounds inflicted upon us by unfriendly Britishers, the present situation calls for the unveiling of verything which will show up the truly guilty, and which may once and for all put all end to the shameful acts of British officers who encourage an Arab anti-Jewish policy. Because under Ottoman rule Jews lived in safety,. but under the great British empire WC suffer pogroms! The Wailing Wall question has been used as an excuse on the part of certain Arab ringleaders to incite mobs against the Jews whom they falsely charge with plans to capture that part of the wall on which is erected the Mosque of Omar. Of course thew charges are untrue. But the important point is that Arab bandits were encouraged in organizing their massacres by unofficial winking on the part of British officials. The latter on every occasion gave the Arabs evidence that they neither cared nor would defend the Jews against them. Whatever the occurrence, blame for disturb- ances was always placed on the Jews, with the Arabs always being painted as martyrs in British reports to the London Colonial Office., Jews who were compelled to resort to self-defense in Bedouin attacks hove been called "aggressive." And the cause has, in almost every instance, been attributable to the unfriendliness of the British, officials, From the moment the editorial office of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle opened on Monday morning, continuing throughout the week hundreds of anxious Jews continued to inquire re- garding the situation in Palestine. Many urged the convening of is mass demonstration of Detroit Jews to protest against inadequate usotection of Jewish rights by the British adminis• trader. Among those who anxiously called for information were relatives and friends of Jewish settlers in Palestine. Mrs. Isi• done Cohen of 425 Kirby avenue, a former Palestinian, was frantic all week for lack of information about a brother and three cousins, all students in the Hebron Yeshivah, whose slot- dents were brutally butchered in moat unheard-of atrocities, among the dead being at least 12 American students for the rabbinate. Mrs. Morris Subar of 5050 Hastings, whose brother is also a student at Hebron, and whose family resides in Jerusalem, was equally as frantic, her cables to Palestine in quest for information as to the well-being of her relatives remaining unanswered due to the strict censorship of news ■ ncl other wires. Mechoel Margolis, who recently returned to Detroit from ■ year's stay in Palestine, wired Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson expressing anxiety over the fate of his wife, Mr.. Rose Margolis, and three daughters, Sarona, 14; Arias, 10, and Bath Ami, 6.

Many of the readers of The Chronicle who called our office during the week were indignant over the biased and unfriendly cable under the sgnature of Vincent Sheean of the North American Newspaper Alliance, published in the Detroit News of Monday, in which Mr. Sheean dared call the Jewish self- defense corps "a ggressive Zionists," the entire tone of his article placing blame on the Jews who were so brutally attacked by Arab bandits and whose only guilt was that they were com• pelted to defend themselves. At the same time the Associated Press was lauded for its fair reports of the happenings in the Holy Land. Patterson'. Indictment. The present outrages are directly traceable to the Jerusalem pogrom of April 1920. In order that his charges should not be accepted as biased, the writer will let a responsible British officer' speak the indictment against his own government. Lieutenant-Col- onel J. II. l'atterson, D. S. C., one of the commanders of the Jewish Legion which fought with British forces for the liberation of Pales- . tine from Turkish rule, published a record of his experiences in a volume which he called "With the Judeans in the Palestine Cf1111- paign." In this volume he records acts on the part of the Military' Administration in Palestine, prior to the appointment of Sir Herbert Samuel as Iligh Commissioner at the head of a civil administration, which brand English rule as nothing short of being murderous. In the chapter before the concluding one in this volume, Patter- son describes "The Jerusalem Pogrom." Ile places all the blame on anti-Semitic Englishmen, and the facts he relates reveal the con- necting link between the outrages of nine years ago with those of today. Colonel Patterson's indictment of his fellow-countrymen who disgraced their country with their anti-Jewish actions in Palestine ought at this time to be broadcast far and wide, in the hope that it may awaken the British government to its responsibility to the Jewish people. The greater part of the chapter "The Jerusalem Pogrom," in Colonel Patterson's "With the Judeans in the l'alestine Campaign' follows: "Shortly after my return to England events occurred in Palestine which proved up to the hilt all that I have written with regard to the anti-Jewish attitude of certain members of the E. E. F. (Egyptian I Expeditionary Force) Staff. A veritable "pogrom," such as we have hitherto only associated with Tzarist Russia, took place in the Holy City of Jerusalem in April, 1920, and as this was the climax to the maladministration of the military authorities, I consider that the facts in the case should be made public. "To the observant onlooker it wao quite evident that he hostile policy pursued by the administration must inevitably lead to out- breaks against the Jews. An intelligent people, such •. the Arabs, could not be blind to the anti-Jewish course being steered. The Balfour Declaration, that divinely inspired bessage to the people of Israel, was never allowed to be officially published within the borders of Palestine; the Hebrew language was proscribed; there was open discrimination against the Jews; the Jewish regiment was at all times kept in the background and treated as • pariah. This official attitude was interpreted by the hooligan element and interested schemers in the only possible way; namely, that the military authorities in Pales- tine were against the Jew. and Zionism, and the conviction began to grow, in some native minds ■ at least, that ■ any act calculated to deal • death blow to Zionist aspirations would not be unwelcome to those in authority in the Holy Land. "Moreover, this malign influence was sometimes strengthened by very plain speaking. The military governor of en important town was actually heard to declare in a Y. M. C. A. hut, in the presence of British and French officers and of Arab waiters, that in case of anti-Jewish riots in his city, he would remove the garrison, and take up his position at • window, where he could watch, and laugh at, what went on. This •m•sing declaration was reported to the acting chief administrator and the acting chief political officer, but no action was taken against the governor. Only one interpretation can be placed on such leniency. "In March, 1920, the following extraordinary order was iosued to the troops in Palestine: 'As the government has to pursue in (Turn to Last Page.) THE WALL OF TEARS By DR. NOAH E.

Chief Rabbi Kook burst into tears at hearing the news, and in a trembling voice de- clared: "It is the worst slaughter the Jews have experienced sine. the destruction of Jerusalem, because it was perpetrated in the town of King David." The eight Arabs who were killed at Ilebron owe their deaths to the bravery and courage of the 24 American students who de- fended themselves with pieces of furniture against the well armed Arabs. Of the 50 Jews killed in Hebron at least 12 are American Jewish young men. In one other spot the attack was as savage, and that is in that part of Jerusalem which is inhabited by old Jews, who were unable to de- fend themselves. Had it not been for the quick action on the part of Jewish young men who organized a self•defense corps, the entire Jewish population might have been slaughtered. Zionist Demands. But while in Hebron and Jeru- salem the occurrences might be referred to by the terms "massa- cres" and "pogroms," in Tel Aril and the Jewish colonies the situ.

In the meantime, at London, a memorandum was submitted per- sonally by Lord Melchett to Lord Penfield, Secretary of State for the Colonial Office, containing the following four requests: 1. Adequate compensation for the victims of the riots and for Jewish property destroyed. 2.
