Loan by Lloyds Bank
In reviewing the fiscal and
economic activities of the Jewish
Agency, Eliezer Kaplan stressed
the increase in the income of the
Keren Ilayesod (Palestine Foun-
dation Fund) during the year
5694 by the amount of £34,000
as compared with the previous
year. The loan given to the Keren
Ilayesod by Lloyds Bank has
paved the way, Mr. Kaplan said,
for the entry of the Jewish Agen-
cy activities into the international
money market. Out of a budget
of £320,000, Mr. Kaplan reported,
two-thirds are for economic in-
vestments particularly for new
settlement. £80,000 will be used
for the latter purpose, £15,000 of
the total for middle class settle-
ment activities.
Referring to the negotiations
with the Revisionists in London,
Berl Locker, in a declaration
made to the actions committee,
pointed out that violence had
ceased within the Zionist move-
ment and in the Yishuv.
Nevertheless; he charged, the Re-
visionists continue to boycott. the
national funds and have even
strengthened their competition
against these funds. He charac-
terized the proposal for a round
table discussion as a "contraband-
ist measure" which will not en-
sure discipline. He also stared
that an agreement had been
reached with the General Zionists
on several points, including that
of general discipline. "No one
demands the liquidation of the
extended Jewish Agency," Mr.
Locker declared, "despite the dis-
satisfaction that exists. "But it is
necessary to demand a better pro-
portion between the rights and
activities of non-Zionists."
Revisionist Proposals
In adopting an agenda at its
first plenary session the Actions
Committee rejected a proposal by
the Revisionists that a discussion
a round table parley be ad-
ded. Only the Revisionists and
the Mizrachi supported the mo-
tion. Another Revisionist motion
for the inclusion of a discussion
on the German transfer agree-
ment was adopted. Spokesmen for
Labor asserted that since all Zion-
ist parties are represented on the
Actions Committee a round table
discussion outside of the Zionist
Congress or the Actions Commit-
tee would be interpreted as a
liquidation of the Zionist Organi-
zation.

The Tribulations of a
German-Jewish Family
After wandering about for six
!months from one country to an-
other, a Jewish butcher from Ber-
lin together with his wife and two
children, with whom he escaped
from Germany, at last arrived in
Paris. Coming to the liken (Hies-
lea) offices for help he told a
tragic story of his wanderings
through nine countries as a re-
sult of the treachery of a friend
who from a German communist
became a Nazi. This is the story,
A Jewish lawyer, a friend of
n ar-
rested, was brutally beaten by the
Nazis. The butcher, learning of
this, told it to his Commun'st
friend. A week later the cilium m-
ist became a Nazi and to make
his conversion complete, also
turned informer and accused the
butcher of "spreading horror pro-
paganda." Luckily the butcher
learned of this and in the middle
of the night, together with his
wife and two children, fled Ger-
many, leaving behind him prac-
tically all that he possessed. The
wanderings now began. They
went to Prague, Czecho-Slovakia,
and then to Vienna but were
turned back. Hungary was the
next stop followed by Yugoslavia,
Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg,
Holland and Belgium. They were
expelled from every country and
the Belgium authorities wanted
to send them back to Germany.
Fortunately, the Refugee Relief
Committee in the last mentioned
country, came to their rescue and
suggested that the man go to
Brazil. However, the butcher did
not want to go without his family.
They went to Paris instead, and
now Ilicem, which is part of the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society (Elias) is making ar-
rangements to secure permission
so that this much troubled family,
the victims not only of Nazism
but also of treachery, may be able
to settle permanently in Pales-
tine.
The Jewish population of Pales-
tine now numbers 325,000, as
compared with 250,000 a year
ago when the Actions Committee
last met, Isaac Ben Zvi, acting
president of the 1'sati Leumi, de-
clared in an address of welcome
on behalf of the Yishuv. The
Jews constitute more than twen-
ty-five per cent of the popula-
tion of Palestine, h esaid. Stres-
sing the fact that the Yishuv is
united in opposing the establish-
ment of a legislative council un-
til such time as Jewish rights un-
der the Mandate may be more
adequately safeguarded, Ben Zvi
cited as an indication of the Yi-
shuv's increasing strength the
fact that Palestine Jewry during
the past year doubled its contri-
butions to the Keren Hayesod and
Jewish National Fund. In a pre-
fatory address, Dr. Nahum Soko-
low, president of the World Zion-
ist Organization, stressed the sig-
nificance of the new tradition
that had been set by the Actions
Committee in holding its meetings
in Jerusalem, and lamented the

Insofar is it is possible to
find • any factual basis at all
to account for the origin of the
present infantile anti-Semitism
of the Nazis, that basis appears
to have been:
First, that under the republic
many Jews in Germany reached
a higher economic, social, and
official status than they had
obtained previously.
And secondly, that many Rus-
sian communists are Jews, and
that ninny German Jews became
communists.
The first fact led to the
growth of envy and resentment;
the second led to an identifica-
tion of Jews and communists
in the Nazi mind. Neither re-
action could have occurred, of
course, without already latent
racial prejudices to encourage
it.
I can think of no "program"
apart from ordinary rationality
that would avert the possibility
of a national reign of race hat-
red in this country. One thing
that seems advisable, however,
is that when protests are made
against persecutions of or dis-
criminations against the Jews,
they be made as seldom as pos-
sible by Jewish groups acting
alone, and as often as possible
by Jews in co-operation with
Gentiles.

At this season of the year, the Detroit Rabbinical Council,
which includes all of the local qualified Orthodox Rabbis, deems
it proper to caution the observant Jewish public against the
practice of deception by some unscrupulous dealers selling
Passover food articles under *-!se labels with the alluring
words, "Kosher !,'Pesach," printed thereon.
When purchasing your supplies of matzos, macaroons,
cakes, candies, spice*: dried fruits, milk or other drinks for
Passover use, be on your guard to convince yourself that
those articles are attested to by the Vaad liarbonim as being
genuinely fit for the designated purpose from a religious point
of view.
It is up to your grocer to consult the local rabbis
before
undertaking to sell any product for Passover,

Not As Jews Alone
I putter in clay, in my crude way,
And coax words into a roundelay,
Sixty-one marks your milestone today;
May your future keep you serenely gay.
You climbed the stairs and braved the alley;
Some blind and crooked; some ugly and squally.
May roses bestrew the road of your travel
And keep you free from obnoxious cavil.
Your part, by destiny's whim and caprice,
Was played in a manner of early Greece;
Your love, warm and sparkling in radiation.

You have never required the prompter's lead-
