The security of the 160,000 Jews in
Palestine and the realization of the hopes
of millions of Jews throughout the world
for the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jew-
ish National Home demands, above every-
thing else, that a united Jewish front be
presented in formulating demands for jus-
tice to Jewish rights. Claims on Palestine
are not made by the comparatively small
number in Palestine or by the Zionists
alone. They are the claims of 16,000,000
Jews, who either actively, through the
Palestinian movement throughout the
world, or through their prayers for a Zion
redeemed, continually ask, pray and hope
for Zion.
This yearning and nostalgia is now to be
represented, in this country, in the Zionist
roll call, which, it is hoped, will include
the signatures of more than 250,000 Jews
to the declaration:
"I
hereby register my faitVin a Jewish
Palestine, and endorse the efforts to secure
a more effective administration of that
country by Great Britain in accordance
with the provisions of the Mandate and the
Balfour Declaration."
It should not be necessary to exert too
much pressure to secure the necessary num-
bers of signatures to this call. It implies
an obligation which binds every Jew and
Jewess of 18 and over. Unless the demon-
strations of protest against the recent unu-
fortunate occurrences in Palestine were
false expressions, a sympathetic Jewry will
respond unanimously to the present Zionist
call for national strength in behalf of the
Jewish homeland.

past 10 years he had come into close associa-
tion with virtually every class among the new
Jewish population of Palestine, and he had
found among them some whom he was proud
to count as his best friends.

The time had long passed when it was any-
body's interest to draw roseate pictures about
the Promised Land. Those who would happily
quit the conveniences and comparatice com-
forts and opportunities of European town life
and wait in thousands in the hope of being
among the few hundreds who were admitted
into Palestine, with its certain discomforts,
hardships and poverty, formed an interesting
kind of "scum."

It was, in fact, a "scum" to whom material
gain was meaningless, or a thing indifferent,
while the ideal was everything. The ideal of
the accepted and responsible leaders, and
most of their followers, was the single purpose
of living an undistracted, but full, natural,
normal life, in which education, thought, lan-
guage, literature, civilization , and artshould
be their own standards, built on Hebrew ideals,
and not borrowed from Gentile surroundings.

•

Reports of British reaction to the Jewish
position in the present Palestine situation
reveal conditions that are far from pleas-
ant.
Thus we read in the London Daily Mail
that ''there is real danger that this pro-
gram of Zionism may effect the old happy
feeling in Great Britain between the Jewish
and non-Jewish sections of the population,
by making the Jews unpopular. It may
even introduce here the tension which ex-
ists between those two sections in so many
Central European States."
Other English newspapers, although
not as openly antagonistic, nevertheless

tice for the Jew with regard to his historic

prejudgment. It is for us to speak
as if this hour were prior to the
disasters, which constitute no
more than an inevitable incident
in the course of the development

the lawbreakers are concerned may

following is one of Karl Kitchen's stories ap-
pearing in the New York Evening World which
will give most of us a chuckle:

Whatever the verdict be in their
minutiae, there are certain things
that we have the right to expect
of Great Britain as the mandatory
government of the League of Na-
tions for Palestine. There are
certain things that we Jews must
demand of ourselves, irrespective
of what we expect from the Brit-
ish, or hope from the Arabs. And
our demands must be made upon
all Jews. They who do not know
deal with the entire problem as
though Jews had made an unfair
or dishonorable bargain with the
Arabs, and we are now engaged
in the process of extorting a pound
of flesh. No one who knew the
pre-war Palestine can fail to con-
the freedom of the Palestine
Arabs today with their all but sla-
vish submission to their Turkish
masters before the war,

There are good grounds for these apprehen-
sions. The chairMan, who as a former colonial
chief justice may claim to have some expe -sri-
crime of overseas problems, was never regarded
in the Straits Settlements as anything more
than an amiable and rather colorless personal-
its. The three members of Parliament who
compose the body of the commission are good
enough in their way, but they can hardly be
described as big men, and they lack the neces-
sary experience of the work with which they
now have to deal.

I do not think the Labor Government is to
be congratulated on the choice of this particu-
lar commission.

In the meantime Arab propagandists,
ignoring the established fact that the mass
of Palestine's Arabs are friendly to the
Jewish settlers and welcome Jewish colon-
ization, are conducting a type of.propagan-
da which shames for its evident brutality
the worst of medieval anti-Semites, The
English supplement of the Tel Aviv Davar
for instance quotes from a poem in the Ara-
bic Al-Sirat Al-Mustakim which heralds
the following call to Arab action:

Guard your land, the heritage of your ances-
tors, and cry:

"Let the Jewish people die."

We were offered a sample of Arab auda-
city in Detroit last week, when an Arab
agitator, speaking before a prominent
group of business and professional men,
dared charge Jews with starting the riots
in Palestine. So ignorant was this man of
actual conditions, of Jewish achievements
in Palestine and of the aims and develop-
ment of Zionism, that it was most deplor-
able that Jewish members of that club fail-
ed to dispel the impression he made upon
non-Jews who had no way of telling that
this Arab was lying, either deliberately or
out of sheer ignorance.

Fortunately examples of friendship be-
tween Jews and Arabs in Palestine are more
numerous than those of enmity, and it is
within the power of the Commission of In-
quiry not only to fix guilt for the outrages,
but also to he p cement Arab-Jewish friend- l
ship. But if the commission has, ast some
predict, the sole goal of whitewashing the
British administration in Palestine, then
surely there is no end yet to troubles.
One thing is certain: Jews will never de-
viate from the path they are pursuing in
the establishment of a center in Palestine.
It is Britain's obligation to make this path
smo other than it has been in the past de-
cad e. An anxious Jewry throughout the
world will watch with interest the results
of the investigating commission's inquiry.

When the sun went down he partook of an-
other hearty meal, thus breaking his fast, and
went to a movie show.

The following morning, at 9 o'clock, he
called on one of the wholesale houses of the
city, only to find a notice on the door, "Closed
on account of holiday, will reopen tomorrow
morning." "They must be late in opening
this morning," he thought, and went to another
house.

Again he found the door closed, with a sim-
ilar sign in the window.

There are said to be at least 17,000 Jews
in the Oakland section. Of ,these at least
3,000 are of Hebrew school age. But not
only are the United Hebrew Schools of De-
troit unable to receive even a small fraction
of this neglected numbef of children, but
they are hampered in the operation of the
small school building now in existence.
This school has facilities to train about
150 children. By using space in the Aha-
vath Achim Synagogue facing it, and by
partitioning off part of the basement, pro-
visions have been made to teach the 250
now attending the school. What about the
many hundreds who would core to the
school but who have to be turned down for
lack of school space?
There is need for another and larger
school in the Oakland section, and the Uni-
ted Hebrew Schools owe it to the commun-
ity to plan for the erection of such a build-
ing. In spite of possible opposition to such
a project on the part of people who may
raise the cry against a new building pro-
gram, the need for such a school exists,
and the duty to the youth demands that it
be fulfilled.
Education Month is the proper time to
consider the filling of such an important
need in our community, and the officers of
our schools should act at once on this pro-
ject.

The Republican national leader-

ning Thursday night in New York
at Jeremiah Mibank's dinner for
Claudius II. Uston, the new Re-
publican national chairman, With-
out advance notice to several of
the party leaders present, it is said,
Senator Moses, as chairman of the
senatorial campaign conunittee,
made his announcement.
It was a surprise to nearly
everybody in the room, it is said,
especially to It. Nutt, treasurer of
the Republican national commit ,
tee, who was under the impression
that the national committee was to
be the sole collecting agency for
the party campaign, senatorial and
congressional.
Under the circumstances certain
administration leaders present at
the dinner passed the announce-
ment off as "a mere pleasantry" of
Senator Moses' speech, who was
directly across the table from Mr.
Kahn, and in the senator's usual
humorous vein. It struck them as
inconceivable, according to their
expressed opinions, that Senator
Moses would not see the "political
folly" of naming "an international
banker" to raise funds for the
party campaign.

at the hands of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
Washington headquarters of the
C. of C. announced that each of
the three proposals offered in ref-
erendum to members of the United
States failed to receive the two-
thirds majority necessary. Even
the simple suggestion that the gov-
ernment of the United States
should participate in international
conference to determine the form
of changes to be made in the cal-
endar, could not muster enough
votes to pass.
The majority members of the
special committee were scrapping
about favorite phases of propo-
sals, while the minority members
frankly opposed all calendar
changes. They hit hard, its can be
understood from the following
paragraphs:
"The daily use of the calendar
vitally concerns the intimate hab-
its and news of vast millions of
people in this country. The pro-
posal to agitate a reform in the
calendar as presented has no popu-
lar backing worth mentioning. It

That is easily explained when
we inform you that at a recent ex-
hibition prize fight held in the Jew-
ish Center there were present the
assistant attorney-general of the
United States, William F, Farnum,
and William B. Murray of the Re-
publican National Committee, both
of whom are not infrequent visi-
tors to the Jewish Center.

At this particular fight, Senator
Walsh, who usually attends, was
not there, but a few unnamed con-
gressmen were there to take his
place.
In addition, the military
element of the United States gov-
ernment was represented by
Major-General Smedley Butler,
commandant of the marine corps,
and his personal aide, Major Brew-
ster. If we tried to give you a
list of newspapermen present you
would recognize names of national
importance—men at the top of the
list among Baltimore and interna-
tional correspondents. Is there a
Jewish angle to prize fights in
Washington?
