Tribute to the late Louis Mag-

who have furthered the cause of
Zionism, was paid by Mr. Lipsky,
who cited the exclusion of Jews

DETROIT JEWS OBSERVE
ANNUAL PALESTINE DAY
Annual Palestine Day was ob-
served in Detroit in a number of
ways.
In addition to addresses in
I synagogues by Detroit rabbis,
there were talks over the radio.
A symposium on Palestine prob-
lems was participated in by
spokesmen for youth organiza-
tions, at a well attended meeting
at Hotel Stotler on Sunday eve-
ning. Rabbi Leon Pram, chair-
man of the Palestine Day corn-
mittee, was the chairman. The
speakers were: Dr. Max Weine,
representing the viewpoint of the
World Zionist Congress and the
Jewish Agency; Yitzchak Panush,
speaking for the Ilistadruth Labor
Party ; Louis Panush, spokesman
foe the Revisionists; Max Chom-
j sky, representing Mizrachi; Dr.
: Irving Rogoff, resident of Pales-
' tine who is visiting Detroit, who
gave a vivid account of the grow.
ing prosperity of Palestine.
Editorials and lengthy news ar-
, tides in the daily newspapers
marked the observance of Pales-
tine Day.
In his sermon on Palestine from
the pulpit of Temple Beth El on
Sunday morning, Rabbi Fram de-
clared that if Jews had been
united in behalf of I'alestine, the
pioneers could have brought the
country to a state of development
even more effective in the present
emergency.
Hitler prcgram against the
Jews, he declared, is unique in
history in that, not content with
expelling Jews from Germany,
Hitler is seeking to build oppo-
sition to them in other countries
as well.
He pointed to Palestine as a
country prepared for such an
emergency by the vision of a
few far-sighted Jews of a genera-
tion ago. When other countries
said they could not admit Jewish
refugees because of unemploy-
ment, he said, Palestine was able.
to invite them by the thousands.
"l'alestine today is the only
country in the world that has no
unemployment problem. Only the
super-cautious policy of the Brit-
is mandate officials has prevented
Palestine from accommodating
40,000 instead of 20,000 refu-
gees."

were compelled, last year, to
borrow small sums ranging from
