RUSSIAN ATHEISTS
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
AGAINST PASSOVER I
Assert Matzoth Drive is Hin
dering Work of the
Soviet.
LAST SYNAGOGUE IN
KIEV IS CONFISCATED
Claim Unexhausted Reserve

migrants in Villages.
MOSCOW.— (J. T. A.) —A
militant anti-Passover campaign
which will continue until the end
of April was announced here by
the atheists.
The campaign has a dual goal;
first, to counteract the matzoth
campaign of observing Jews, which
is charged with hindering the So-
viet upbuilding enterprises; and
second, to recruit thousands of
new members for the militant
atheist brigades.
The necessity for an intensifica-
tion of the anti-religious work is
also emphasized by the Emes. The
paper deplores the statement
made by Peter Smidowitch, vice-
president of the U. S. S.1., to the
effect that once synagogues are
converted into clubhouses, anti-re-
ligious work becomes less impor-
tant.
Plan of Attack.
The Emes recalls with horror
that the chairman of the Jewish
Collective, Freidorf, invited the
local rabbi to attend a meeting
where the rabbi preached on Is-
rael's brotherhood. This, it com-
ments, proves the urgent need for
continuing the anti-religious pro-
paganda.
The plan outlined for the anti-
Passover campaign calls for scores
of atheist brigades for which work-
ers and students are to be re-
cruited from the towns, to be sent
to the colonies. The atheist bri-
gades are to be armed with thou-
sands of slogans, anti-religious
leaflets, brochures and news-
papers.

The villages of Soviet Russia
continue unexhausted reserves for
recruiting new Jewish immigrants
for settlement in Bira-Bidjan and
Crimea, Boris Trotski, new direc-'
for of the Comzet, governmental
department for settling Jews on
the land and in industry, told the
new praesidium of the Comiet.
Mr. Trotski, an agronomist, re-I
placing A. Merezhin, who resigned
last month after considerable
criticism, stated that it is a virtual
certainty that L4,000 new Jewish
settlers will be secured for Bira-,
Bidjan and 1,300 for Crimea.
The recruiting of immigrants
from the villages represents a de-I
parture from the policy of last
year, when immigrants were drawn
from the towns.
The more than 15,000 immi-
grants will be recruited, Mr. Trot-
ski said, despite the fact that or-
ganization of immigration for
these regions was made belatedly.
Fifty per cent of the prospec-
tive settlers for the two Jewish re-
gions will be drawn from White
Russia and the remainder from
Ukraine, he stated.

The papers express some anx-

drawn into field work in order that

By DR. WERNER SENATOR
Treasurer, Jewish Agency f or
Palestine.
The Near East and India, which
is frequently characterized as a
semi-official British government
publication and very closely re-
flects the views of the Colonial
office, stated in a recent editorial:
"These (Levant) fairs have be-
come an established feature of
the world's commerce and indus-
try, and the potentialities of the
Near and Middle East are too im-
portant for British manufacturers
to overlook the opportunity that
the Tel Aviv fair offers them of
displaying their good. in Palestine.
In previous years the fair has at.
tracted a satisfactory number of
merchants and buyers from the
Levant, Syria and other Near
Eastern countries, and it is certain
that many of our trade rivals will
again be using it to exhibit their
products. A special British pa-
vilion is contemplated, if an ads.
ouste response by British firms is
assured."

NEW YORK.—The fate of the

rope depends in a measure on the
aid American Jewry will give them
in the present crisis, according to
messages and speeches made at the
annual meeting of the National
Council of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee, held
all day Sunday at Hotel Pennsyl-
vania, in the presence of 300 out-
standing Jewish leaders from all
parts of the country. American
Jewry was urged to continue the
work of the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee which his during the past
18 years saved the lives of millions
of men, women and children
through its program of social re-
construction, medical and health
care and self-help.
The situation among the Jews in
Eastern Europe is worse today than
it was following the war, it was
emphasized, and a terrible calamity
would befall them at this moment
if the generosity of American
Jewry, even in a modest way, were
to cease, speakers declared.

CINCINNATI. — (J. T. A.) —
This week the B'nai B'rith, oldest
Jewish organization in the United
States, begins to celebrate its
ninetieth birthday. The period of
celebration will culminate in the
convention to be held in Boston
on May 14.
Organized in New York City in
1843 as the "Independent Order
B'nai B'rith," the organization was
the first Jewish group of national
dimensions. From the very begin-
ning it took an interest in the wel-
fare of American Jews and in the
protection of the interests of Jews
abroad. At the time of its found-
ing there were only 25,000 Jews in
all the United States. Today the
B nai B'rith has 85,000 members.

Such a statement brings sharply
to the fore the continuous eco•
nomic development of Palestine
within the past decade in face of
the political storms which have
broken over the country. Within
the past two years particularly,
people have been no accustomed
to having their attention directed
to the political developments in
connection with the Jewish Na-
tional Home that most of us have
lost sight completely of the fact
that Palestine has been making
substantial progress and that the
country's economic capacity has
been enlarged to an extraordinary
degree. Foundations have been
laid for intensive agricultural and
industrial expansion. Witness the
remarkable development of • the
citrus fruit industry wherein the
very large recently planted areas
will soon provide further substan-
tial opportunities for employment
and for commercial undertakings.
