Editor's Note.—The new president of the Jewish Agency
and the World Zionist Organization is one of the most pictur-
esque characters in present day Jewish life. This article por-
traying his life and achievements is expxressly written for the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency and The Detroit Jewish Chronicle.

The new building, which is be-

ing supervised by Dr. Otto A.

Dean Balthacerd's Views,
It is not yet known whether this
commission will lie a mixed body
consisting of French and Rumanian
representatives. Nevertheless Jew-
ish student circles are anxious lest
this commission be influenced by
anti-Semitism in examining Jew-
ish studdents.
Some weeks ago it WAS reported
that Dr. Victor Balthazar( dean
of the medical school of the Uni-
versity of Paris, had written a let-
ter to the dean of the medical
school of the University of Buchar-
est suggesting the creation of a
mixed Rumanian-French committee
to decide on which Rumanian stu-
dents should be permittee to study
in the French medical schools.

PRAGUE.--(J. T. A.) — Dr.
Emil Starkenstein, dean of the med-
ical school at the German Univer-
sity in Prague, announced in the
Prager Tageblatt and Bohemia that
in future enrollment of students at
the university a distinction will be
made between natives and aliens
because the medical school has not
room and facilities for the unre-
stricted admission of students from
abroad.
In response to an inquiry from
the editor of the Jewish paper, Sel-
bstwehr as to how this new policy
will affect the admission of Jewish
students from abroad, Dr. Starken-
stein declared that no distinction
will he made between the members
of various faiths, either in the case
of alien or native-born students.
He added, however, that practic-
ally all foreign students applying
for admission at the universities
are Jews, a fact which has fre-
quently made it appear in recent
years as if measures applied the recent dedication of the De- men.
