Blames Hitlerites for
Depression In Germany
LONDON.—(J. T. A.)—One
of the main causes of the pres-
ent German economic crisis is
the anti-Jewish program of the
Ilitlerites, Wickham Steed, for-
mer editor in chief of the Lon-
don Times, declares in an ar-
ticle in the Sunday Times dis-
cussing Germany's financial
plight.
Jewish capital, an important
element in the commercial, in-
dustrial and financial life of
Germany, has become less and
less available, Mr. Steed points
out, because of the Hitlerites'
threat to drive out the Jews
should the Nazis succeed in forc-
ing their program upon Ger-
many.

JERUSALEM.— (J. T. A.) —
The anti-Jewish campaign set on
Let by the Arab press and Arab
organizations in connection with
the government's announcement a
fortnight ago that sealed armories
had been given to some of the re-
mote Jewish colonies continued un-
abated.
Over the week-end a meeting of
Arab leaders was held at Tulkarem
in which representatives of Tulkar-
em, Jenin and other Arab villages
adopted a resolution protesting
against the Jewish colonies getting
the sealed armories and calling for
an all-Palestine Arab conference
to discuss steps to be taken in this
connection. While members of the
Arab Executive were the chief
speakers at this meeting the gov-
ernment has taken no action to
check the incitement.
When the Arabs learned that the
armories had been disturbed, then
papers spread a report that police
"theirs had been teaching the Jews
how to use weapons. Replying to
this report the government issued
a statement declaring that police
ulcers had merely tested the arms
,..titained in the armories.

HIAS TO SOLICIT
HELP IN DETROIT
Representative Here to Re- 1
new Support of Individ-
uals and Organizations.
S. B. Bajnoff, who for the past
14 years was a resident of Buenos
Aires, Argentine, and who for a
camber of years was affiliated with
the Ica (Jewish Colonization As-
s station), arrived in Detroit this
•eek to solicit the aid of individ-
uals and organizations for the He-
brew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society (Hies) and to renew
De support of subscribers.
Mr. Bajnoff, in his travels in
South America, was an eye-wit-
ness to the work accomplished by
the h las, and in addresses to or-
ganizations and synagogues will
describe the association's impor-
tant activities in aiding Jewish
immigrants. Mr. Bajnoff may be
reached at the office of Attorney
A. IL Jaffin, 714 Lafayette build-
During his stay in Detroit Mr.
Bajnoff will also assist Detroiters
who may desire to ship food pack-
ages to European relatives.
Among the important achieve-
ments of Elias has been added an-,
other: the aid that is being given '
the homeless and unemployed in
New York City. During the past
four months the society gave 45,-
132 meals and 6,129 nights of shel-
ter to unemployed and homeless.
In describing the work of Hiss,
Mr. Bajnoff said:
"Hies combines the work of
traveler's aid, international mi-
gration service and immigrant aid
in one great network of humani-
tarianism. Its shelter provides
beds and food for immigrants,
,aytarers and the needy. It helps
in citizenship. Its offices prepare
documents and render aid in a
h undred ways to those who are
lost in the maze of immigration
difficulties.
"In Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay,

They stopped at Orchard Beach
to visit Mrs. Marks' mother, who
has a cottage there. In the after-
noon Marks started into the lake
in a rowboat to take Phyllis and
Jacqueline Klingensmith, of Erie,
his cousins, out to a sandbar,
where they could swim. With them
went Babette.
Several hundred feet off shore,
over what they thought was the
bar, Jacqueline, who is nine, dived
into the lake. She slipped into
water over her head and disap-
peared, and Phyllis, 17, dived af-
ter her. Phyllis likewise failed to
reappear, and Marks jumped in to
rescue both.
Men on shore saw the plight of
the trio and started to swim to the
boat, one man arriving in time to
save Jacqueline, who was uncon-
scious, but was revived by a pul-
motor. Swimmers dived for Marks
and Phyllis and finally found them
in 15 feet of water. Marks was
holding on to Phyllis and they were
separated with difficulty.
Babette remained in the rowboat
through the entire time and was
rowed to shore. Mrs. Marks col-
lapsed when told of the death of
her husband and was placed under
the care of a physician.
Marks came to Detroit 13 years
ago from Cleveland, where he was
born. In addition to the members
of his family he is survived by
three brothers, Leo H. Marks of
Detroit, Sidney D. Marks of Cleve-
land. and Mort 1. Marks of Chi-
cagog, and three sisters, Mrs. Mae
M. Florman of Detroit, and Mrs.
Herman Supnick and Mrs. David
Loveman, both of Cleveland.
He was a Mason and belonged
to the Phoenix Club and the Knoll-
wood Country Club.
Jewish Population
Reported Doubled
Increased Five-Fold in Last
Century, Doubled in
Fifty Years.
BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—During
the past half-century the Jewish
population of the world has more
than doubled, while during the past
century it has increased nearly
five-fiold, according to Jacob Les-
chinsky, Jewish journalist and so-
ciologist. Whereas in 1825 the
Jewish population of the world
was only 3,280,000, in 1810 it rose
to 7,660,000, while in 1930 there
were estimated to be 15,800,000
Jews in the world, writes Mr. Les-
chinsky in an article syndicated by
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
While the Jewish world popula-
tion has increased nearly five-fold
during the past 105 years, he points
out, the general population of the
world was only slightly more than
doubled. The great increase of
Jewish population came mainly as
a result of a great decline in the
Jewish death rate, a much greater
decline than among other peoples.
"Jews everywhere have less chil-
dren than the peoples who sur-
round them," he writes, "because
they became city people sooner
than the non-Jews and have re-
mained such to a larger extent,
and also because they have a great-
er percentage of the very rich,
moderately rich and members of
the intelligent professions. But
their death rate was proportion-
ately even smaller, and this ex-
plains why the increase of the Jew-
ish population in most countries,
except for a few countries with a
purely West-European Jewry, was
greater than among other peo-
ples."
Increase 180,000 Yearly.
During the past half century the
Jewish world population increased
more than 160,000 a year, while
during the previous half-century
it increased at about 80,000 an-
nually. Today the annual Jewish
population increase is about 180,-
000. Even in East-European coun-
tries, from which Jews have been
emigrating in large numbers for
the past half century, there is an
annual increase of about 90,000
Jews in a Jewish pdpulation of
about seven millions. The five mil-
lion Jews in the Americas (United
States, Canada, Argentina and the
rest) also have a natural increase
of at least 76,000 Jews a year. And
even the West-European Jews. who
constitute about 1,500,050 souls and
whose birth-rate is lower than that
of other Jews have an annual nat-
ural increase of about 15,000 or
16.000.
Mr. Leschinsky shows how the
proportion of Jews in various con-
tinents has changed during the past
century. In 1825 Europe hail 83.2
per cent of world Jewry, Asia had
9.2 per cent, Africa had 7.3 per
cent America had 0.3 per cent and
I. Las t
Australia
year the percentage of world Jew-
ry living in Europe fell to 62.5
per cent while in America it rose
to 30 per cent. In Asia, only 1.3
per cent of world Jewry lived in
1930, in Africa only 3 per cent and
in Australia 0.2 per cent.

MEXICO CITY.—(J. T. A.) —
True, Mexico is swept by a wave
of economic resentment which
might safely be styled as anti-for-
eign or anti-Semitic, according to
one's individual viewpoint and pref-
erences. However, there are sev-
eral reasons for this smoldering
excitement and it Is quite as well
to take them fully into considera-
tion. First of all, there is the in-
tense nationalism prevailing in ad-
ministrative circles, a nationalism
which surpasses all experiences in
past years. Secondly, the fact
must be noted that the Mexican
political structure has not changed,
despite the efforts of President
Calles a few years ago to implant
a "system of institutions and do
away with the Claudillo, the man
on horseback." The structure has
remained basically the same, it is
still the dictatorial and semi-dicta-
torial military system which keeps
up a parliamentary pretense but is
determined to crush any opposi-
tion, be it political party or an
individual, before it is able to in-
vade the sacred premises of pow-
ers.
Further, there is the press prop-
aganda actively fostered by for-
eign commercial interests and des-
tined to ruin the competition of the
Jewish small merchant. This prop-
aganda assumed, until recently, a
very serious aspect and only after
a protest of the Polish Charge
d'Affaires, Mr. Merdinger, could
the leading papers be induced to
drop their anti-Semitic tone. These
same papers, the Universal and the
Excelsior, no longer speak of an
anti-Jewish but of an anti-foreign
campaign, a fact which does not
deceive anyone but is highly indi-
cative of the growing realization
of the inevitable difficulties abroad.
The development shows what the

books and manuscripts. presented a val-

There was a stormy scene when Chancellor Judah Magnet' of the Hebrew University was censured
in a minority resolution of the education committee, which deplored the tendency of the leaders of the
university to "abdicate Zionist ideals." It requested the Zionist Executive to take steps to safeguard
the national spirit of the Hebrew University.
The Labor group sought to table the resolution,charging interference with academic freedom, but
the resolution was adopted by 85 to 74 votes. Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, Labor delegate, called the vote a
"cultural shame," but was compelled to retreat after roars of protest came from all parts of the house.

Th. Stormiest Session.
stormiest session of the Zionist
Congress since it opened here on
June 30, the fight between the
supporters and opponents of Dr.
Chains Weizmann, president of the
World Zionist Organization,
reached a dramatic climax early
Monday morning when the Con-
gress adopted, by a vote of 123 to
103, a resolution of the political
committee which in effect
amounts to a vote of non-confi-
dence in Dr. Weizmann.
However, the adoption of what

censure of Dr. Welzmann'a lead-
ership after being at the Zionist
helm for 14 years, brought no
comfort to the Revisionists, his
most outspoken critics and oppon-
ents, who a little later carried out
their threat to leave the Congress
hall when the delegates refused
even to permit their minority real-
lotion with regard to the ultimate
aims of Zionism to be put to a
vote.

HIT BIRTH CONTROL
Issue Referred to Committee
by Convention of
Conservatives.
NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.)—
Birth control is contrary to the
tenets of the Orthodox Jewish
faith, according to a resolution
opposing it which was adopted at
the concluding session of the con-
vention of the Assembly of He-
brew Orthodox Rabbis of the
United States and Canada, or Ke-
neseth Ho'Rabanim. The resolu-
tion declares that birth control is
against natural as well as Jewish
law and states that "Judaism not
only sanctions marriage, but also
sanctifies it."
Another resolution adopted by
the Keneseth lio'Rabanim opposes
any change in the calendar which
would endanger the fixity of the
Sabbath. This resolution is to be
submitted to the members of the
different congregations, and as
each congregation adopts it • no-
tice to that effect will be sent to

Resolution Defining
The Aims of Zionism
BASLE.—J. T. A.) — After
nearly six days of protracted
bickering and negotiation the
Seventeenth World Zionist Con-
gress unanimously adopted the
following resolution as to the
ultimate aims of Zionism:
"Zionism is a national move-
ment to secure the freedom of
the Jewish people. It adheres
firmly and unalterably to its
aims as kid do),vn in the Basle
program (to create for the Jew-
ish people in Palestine a public-
ly recognized and legally se.
cured home) and to bring in
Eretz Israel a solution of the
Jewish problem. The homeless
and landlessJewish people which
is compelled to migrate strives
to overcome its abnormal polit-
ical, economic and spiritual con.
ditions by re-establishing itself
in the historic homeland through
large and uninterrupted immi-
gration and settlement and re-
creating in Eretz Israel its na-
tional life with all the essential
features of • people's existence.
The congress emphatically re-
jects any attempt to minimize
this fundamental aim of Zion-
ism."
gress expresses regret at the views
uttered by Dr. Welzmann in his
interview with the Jewish Tele-
grapphic Agency and regards his
reply to the interpellation on
this interview as inadequate." In
