Brandeis's Zionist leadership is
pictured in this biography not as
one chiefly in quest fin! funds, but
as an effort to organize Jews for
Palestine, to educate 8111I to prop-
agate the great ideal. The man-
ner ill which Brandeis enlisted

der his leadership and other
triumphs are proudly quoted in fa-
vor of the Supremo. Court Justice.
Compared With Heral,
A brief chapter is devoted for a
comparison of Brandeis with
Herz'. The author compares the
"manner and method of political
approach applied to both men," and I
says:

lowances on trade-

The manner in which the Read-

his aid to Zionism lost for a time is
quoted in approbation of Weiz-
mann and in proof of the sound-
ness of the methods of Justice
Brandeis.
The manner in which the "Wash-

is Outlined at length, and the de-

counter-description of the •eir-

the hint by the author that a
situation like the present one in
Palestine would never have hap-

and methods been pursued.

that three precious gifts were be-
stowed on Israel, viz., the Torah,
Eretz Yisroel, and the glorious fu-
ture, but none of these can be ac-
quired without affliction.
We are now passing through a
period when our faith in Palestine
is being tried and tested to the
full. A new chapter of Jewish
martyrdom has been written, but
this is no time for only lamenta-
tion and weeping, rather for rein-
forcement and reinvigorated ef-
forts. Eretz Yisroel must be
nearer and dearer to our hearts
than ever before, because the
Jewish people has again paid
dearly for it.
For the immediate present, we
must endeavor our utmost to heal
the breach by contributing gener-
ously to the Palestine Emergency
Fund. The distress is enormous,
let our sacrifices measure up ac-
cordingly. As to the futtlre, let
us enter our houses of prayer on
the Day of Judgment before the
Universal Judge—not with hearts
aching with despair, or filled with
feelings of vengeance—but pre-
ferably with fortified spirits and
renewed hope accelerated by the
heart-throbs of a clear and guile-
less conscience. Israel will rather
suffer than commit wanton injury.
Our faith in eternal justice is un-
shaken and we are steadfast in our
sanguine belief that "at evening
time there shall be light." The
.ouds that have settled on the
alestinian skies will ultimately
ispurse; the storm will abate; the
un of righteousness will arise with
eating in its wings, then the day
Pt ill appear in its full splendor and
IT andeur. "And that day living
waters shall go out from Jeru-
alem." Wickedness and crime
ill vanish from the face of the
arth; justice and peace will be re-
toted to their throne. "The Bun
riseth, they (the beasts) slink
way and couch in their dens.

Through the courtesy of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle, it again becomes my privilege, on the oc-
casion of Rosh floshonah, to send a few words of
greeting to my Jewish fellow-citizens of Detroit.
It is customary among Christians, upon their New
Year, to appraise their communal advancement dur-
ing the year then closing. The Jewish people are
such an ancient people that it is much easier to think
in terms of their contribution to the world over pe-
riods of hundreds of years than it is to evaluate their
gifts to American national life during the compara-
tively short space of one year.
Still the building process which has created the
great Jewish heritage, continues year by year. With
the turning of each new leaf in the calendar some new
Jewish patronage is revealed, in the arts, in the
sciences, in literature, or in some new industry which
is destined to lift additional burdens from the shoul-
ders of striving human beings, or to help us conquer
the uncontrolled natural forces in the earth.
In America, it seems to me that Jewish people
especially have caught the spirit of industrialism with
a sublime purpose, not an end in itself, but a means
to give us new music with which to express the soul
of modern America, finer drania of contemporary
style, and a more stable and mote fertile social or-
ganization.
Jewish family life appears to me, a casual ob-
server, to be just as secure and just as productive of
worthy lives no was it was in the pre-automobile, pre-
airplane and pre-radio decades. Mechanical inven-
tions are not permitted by my Jewish friends to be-
come either idols or bewildering distractions. This
is evidence of the art of living..
If I were speaking to my Jewish neighbors, these
things I would count as being, in my humble opinion,
worthwhile contributions to American life.
I welcome this occasion to say again, "Congratula-
tions."

toed and cultured, endowed with
reason and intelligence, will con- ,
tinue to do his constructive and
productive work for his own good;
for the benefit of mankind and for
the happiness of coming genera.
tions. In this spirit let us welcome
the incoming year. Exit year
5689 with its curses—enter year
5690 with its blessings.

A City of
New Telephone
Buildings

IN

1926, the Michigan Bell Telephone Company entered upon
the largest expansion program in its history. The intervening
three years have witnessed the engineering and construction of
25 new telephone buildings and major building additions
throughout the state.

Grouped together, these structures, housing thousands of tele-
phone workers and millions of dollars' worth of equipment,
would make an imposing "business city."

But this building construction represents only a portion of the
extension of telephone plant by this Company during that period.
Total expenditures for telephone plant expansion in Michigan
the past three years were $72,000,000, greatly increasing facilities
and improving the service. This is a continuing program, for as
business and social activities increase, demand for still greater
telephone expansion develops.

This plant expansion and improvement would be meaningless
if it were not translated into terms of service and a desire to
afford increasing telephone comfort, convenience and satisfaction,
and to meet the growing needs of the state.

Our policy—"To continue
to furnish the best possible telephone service

at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety"
