The British govern- ment in the statement of its Co- lonial office made it clear that the government has no idea of recon- sidering the British tenure of the mandate for Palestine and no in- quiry is contemplated which might alter the position of Great Britain in regard to the Palestine mandate for the establishment in l'alestine of a National llome for the Jews.

The let-. ter read: "August 30, 1929. "My Dear Weizmann: "Events in Palestine have moved me to indignation and disgust, but they do nothing to shake my confidence in the gen- eral wisdom of the policy - which you and your colleagues LORD BALFOUR have been pursuing so success- fully in Palestine under the Mandate system with all its inherent difficulties. "The British Empire and all powers with whom it has been closely associated have solemnly declared their intention of again rendering Palestine the Na- tional Home of the Jewish people.

One of the first to be brought to the stake there was David Reubeni. There were three offices of the Inquisition in Portugal—one at Lisbon, one at Evora, and the third at Coimbra—and there was a , fourth at Goa, in South America. Only the palace of Evora remained intact to the present day. When the inquisition was abol- ished in Portugal by the Constitu- ent Assembly in 1621, the mob in- . vaded these palaces and destroyed the instruments of torture. A large part of the archives and records of the proceedings were saved, however, and 40,000 of these rec- ords of inquisitorial trials are pre- served in the National Library (Torre do Tombo) at Lisbon. The Inquisition Palace at Lisbon fell into ruin in 1755 in the earth- quake which destroyed practically the entire city. On its site now stands the National Theater. In Coimbra not even the site has been preserved, but in Evora the palace came into the possession of a Portuguese family which kept it intact and closed to all curious MOVES TO PREVENT TEACHING HER SON IN SCIENCE SCHOOL NEW YORK,—(J.T.A.)—A Jew- ish mother went to court to prevent her divorced husband from wean- ing their 10-year-old Ron away from her faith by sending him to a Christian Science School.

The 1929-30 season of the Young People Society of Shaarey Zedek will be opened with a meeting to be held on Tuesday evening, Sept. 10, at It o'clock, in the branch syn- agogue on Twelfth street between Clairmount and Atkinson. This meeting is open to all young people whose parents are affiliated with the synagogue, and their friends. Everyone who attended the meetings last year is urged to attend this meeting, which will be devoted to organization work and matters of importance to anyone wishing to become associated with the society during the coming year. At this time anyone who wishes to work on a committee will be given an opportunity to state his prefer- ence. It is the hope of the board of directors that everyone in the club will be active on a committee or in some other way. Hoke Levin, who is continuing as president, will be in charge of this meeting. The officers assist- ing Mr. Levin, and who were elect- ed at the final meeting of last sea- son, are Irving Moss, vice-presi- dent; Miss Rosalie Goldstiek. sec- retary-treasurer; Miss Naomi Goldstein, corresponding secretary; and Miss Moyer, board member. Inasmuch as nearly every one of these officers had some connection with the club last year and is fa- miller with its aim and with the abilities of its members, math is expected of them this season. They will be aided in their work by the chairman of the various commit- tees. •
