NEW YORK. —Jewish leaders
representing various shades of
opinion in the movement for the
rebuilding of Palestine united
Sunday in opening a $2,500,000
drive for the continuation of the
work in 1932, voicing faith in the
ultimate success of the project
and paying tribute to the late
Julius Rosenwald.
More than 500 delegates, com-
prising the National Conference
on Palestine, met at the Hotel
Astor. They heard speakers
prominent in many fields discuss
varied phases of the reconstruc-
tion ideal and review its progress
during the last year. The con-
vention was called bst the Ameri-
can Palestine Campaign, fund-
raising body in this country of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine.
President Hoover and Governor
Roosevelt were among those to
congratulate the sponsors of the
drive. The president's letter, ad-
dressed to Morris Rothenberg,
1931 national chairman of the
campaign , and ruedb JosephC
Hyman, honorary secretary, was

Jews themselves must be the 1
first to learn to understand the
value of the Zionist cause before
they can expect the world at large
to sympathize with this ideal and
to support the movement.
Sir Norman Angell, one of the
outstanding non-Jewish chain-.
pions of the Jewish national ideal,
took occasion thus to admonish
the Jews on their responsibilities,
in the statement he granted to this
interviewer during his one-day
stay in Detroit last Friday.
An internationalist, Sir Norman
explained his sympathy for the
Jewish nationalist cause by de-
claring that he did not believe in
jumping from one extreme of na-
tionalism to the other of interne-
tionalisim. His internationalism,
he said, seeks an adjustment of
nationalities, and he declared that
the only way of dealing with the
principles of nationalism and tra-
dition is to grant to the oldest

body in the world a right

A member of the British House
of Commons, Sir Norman has, on
numerous occasions, interceded in
behalf of what he considers are
the just rights of the Jewish peo-
ple in Palestine. On the floor of
the Parliament, as well as from
public platforms, he is a consistent
advocate for Jewish aspirations
in Palestine, and on occasions has
condemned unfair methods of
British officials in Palestine. Now,

El Sign() Futuro, a Catholic
organ in Madrid, is publishing
a series of articles entitled
"The Jewish Conspiracy." The
paper makes use of the old
arguments of the anti-Semites
that the Jews are seeking world
domination.

Other papers charge that the
republic is being Judaized and
poke fun at the minister of cdu
cation, De Los Rios, for his al-
legedly friendly overtures to
the Jews. El Debate, the most
important "right" paper in
Madrid, accuses the minister of
education of desiring to forget
the sins of the Jews who cost
the Spaniards so much blood,
and declares that only under
the republic would a minister
fraternize with Jews.

Restrictionist. Controlled.

A number of restrictionist mem-
bers of the committee made an un-
successful effort to cont radict the
women or to show that their mar-
riages were fradulent. The State
Department, represented by A.
Dana Hodgson, chief of the Visa
office, sought to show that the hus-
band or wives had made false state-
ments and brought to the hearing
voluminous consular and special
New York investigation reports. In
all cases, however, the wives had
satisfactory explanations to offer.
The women complained against
the arbitrary action of American
consuls abroad who, they said, are
refusing to grant even preference
visas, although some have waited as
long as two years for them. They
pointed out that their husbands had
been promised visas within three or
six months, and were refused on the
pretext that they may become pub-
lic charges.

tives of non-Jewish organizations.
John L. Bernstein, the Hies
and Congressman Emanuel Celler,
also supported the women and ur-
ged the adoption of Congressman
Dickstein's bill. Immigration Com-
missioner Hull, who was present did
not commit himself on the measure.
Congressman Dickstein also in-
troduced another bill, for which he
asked the committee's approval,
aiming to prevent the exclusion of
husbands, wives, father., mother.,
sons and daughters of American
citizens on the ground of becoming
