der, his influence the Post was in-

Golding's C
Born in Manchester, England, in
1395, Louis Golding was educated
in public schools until at the age
of It he was awarded a scholar-
ship to the Manchester Grammar
School. At 17 he entered (and again
on et scholarship) Queens' College,
Oxford, a college famous in the
past for its stylists who have
strongly influenced his work.
While at college, Mr. Golding
edited a magazine in which ap-
peared some of the works of such
writers as Edmund Blunden and
Alan Porter. Ile was one of a
group of young writers which in-
cluded L. A. G. Strong, Robert
Graves, Robert Nichols and others
who dominated Oxford at the time.
He also organized a society called
"The Jolly Teetotallers," which
used to meet in an attic of an old
inn and read from Shakespearian
and Jacobean dramatists by the
light of candles stuck into beer
bottles. Among the guests of the
society, he vividly remembers John
Masefleld, W. B. Yeats, Robert
Bridges and Colonel T. E. Law-
rence.
His first year at college was in-
terrupted by the war and it was
at this time that his student days
ended and his career as a traveller
was begun. lie has visited such far
away places as Mesopotamia, Se.
lonika, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt,
Palestine and Greece. He has met
strange people, visited strange
places and has never lost his desire
to travel. lie has crossed the ocean
in tramp steamers and has tramped
through many countries with a
knapsack on his back and a stick
in his hand. He has mastered many
languages including modern Greek
and Arabic and can speak fluently
in French, German, Italian and
Spanish.
For a very short time, Mr. Gold.
ing was the leading literary re-
viewer for The Saturday Review.
Ile has been writing constantly for
leading magazines, including Van.
ity Fair and Harper's Bazaar, and
for 10 years he wrote "Magnolia
Street," which appeared in 1932.
This was followed by "Five Silver
Daughters" and "The Camberwell
Beauty."
His career as a novelist was
started at he was seven years
of age, at which time he wrote "The
Adventures of Three On Bloody
Island." His career as a poet began
even earlier, his first attempt
being
"Ile got a big smack
And said he'd go back
To school—
The fool."
His first volume of poems, called
"Sorrows of War," was published
in 1919, in the same year in which
he wrote "Forward From Baby-
lon," a novel which immediately es-
tablished him as one of the most
promising of the younger novelists.
In 1920 he published another vol-
ume of poems, called "Shepherd
Singing Ragtime." The two vol-
umes with later poems were col-
lected in America and appeared
under the title "Prophet and Fool."
His great love for wandering has
led him into many lands and fur-
nished him with material for many
of his books. Ile is the author of
"Those Ancient Lands," being a
journey to Palestine, and "Sicilian
Moon." Ilia visits in the remoter
regions of Central Europe and the
Mediterranean countries furnished
the ackground for "The Miracle
Boy" and "The Prince of Some.
body" and visits to Sicily and Italy
inspired him to write "Day of
Atonement" and "Store for Ladies."
It is interesting to note, however,
that his serious works have all been
inspired by the city of his birth,
Manchester. "Magnolia Street" is
a novel of that Doomington which
also serves as the background of
"Forward From Babylon," "Day of
Atonement," "Give Up Your Lov-
ers," and above all "Five Silver
Daughters,"—that Doomington by
which is meant Manchester.

during which the entire Jewish
quarter was razed by an incendiary ,
lire. More recently the Venizelists
have allied themselves more or less I
openly with the anti-Semitic forces
and Venizelos himself has permit-
ted his party organs to engage in a
continuous campaign of vitupera-
tien against the Jews. Because of
all this amicable relations between
the Jews and the Venizelist party
were hardly possible. A few at.
tempts at a rapprochement were I
made, but failed miserably.
Royalists are Friendly
The house of Gluccksbourg, from
which the royal Greek family
stems, on the other hand, has al-
ways a disposition to give the Jews
fair treatment and protection. It
was I'rince Nicholas, premier of
the monarchical government at the
time, who did away with the charge
that the Jews had poisoned Greek
soldiers. It was Constantine, then
heir to the throne, who put an end
to anti-Semitic incidents during the
early period of Greek occupation
of the New Provinces. And it was
George II, the exiled king whose
return is now only a matter of
days, who lent a favorable ear to
Jewish demands for legal recogni-
tion of their Sabbath day of rest.
The royal family, and especially
King Constantine, who was com-
pelled to abdicate in 1922, main-
tained very friendly relations with
the then Chief Rabbi Jacob Meier,
who is now the Chief Rabbi of the
Sephardic community of Palestine.
It is also a fact that during the
11 years in which the New Pro-
vinces were under the monarchy
there was not a single evidence of
anti-Jewish agitation.
Accordingly and also because of
the glamour which invariably Is
associated with a crowned head in
the minds of the illiterate masses
—and unfortuantely the , great ma-
jority of Greek Jews come under
this classification—the return of
the monarchy is being eagerly an-
ticipated by most of Greek Jewry.
A considerable number of young
people imbued with democratic
ideals are, of course, not exactly
overjoyed at the prospect of a re-
storation of the royal regime. But
even this element is gradually be-
ing won over to the king, for it is
believed and hoped that the return
of George II will mean the end of
the anti-Jewish excesses which
have become so frequent here.
Change Important for Jews
In looking forward to the return
of the monarchy Greek Jewry is
not forgetting the fact that in the
recent abortive revolution by the
Venizelists Jews were attacked and
Jewish property looted while the
royalist government tried to pro-
tect the Jews. Nor have the Jews
here overlooked the fact that the
Greek royal family is now related
to the royal family of England
which is traditionally friendly to
the Jews and hostile to all govern-
ments engaged in racial and reli-
gious persecution. The reassuring
words of the new premier, General
Kondylis, who is acting as regent,
pledging his protection to the Jews,
and the fact that the two Jews in
the Greek senate are both members
of the royalist party, have also
helped to align the Jewish popula-
tion with the royalist cause.
In other words, the great change
which confronts Greece is equally
important for the Jews of Greece.
•
This is why they are now display-
ing a most lively interest in politics
and political developments. The re-
sult of the plebiscite, which may
put an end to the internal conflicts,
which have rent the Greek nation,
will indubitably be of great signi-
ficance to Greek Jewry. Their hope
is that it will definitely put an end
tothe period of instability and in-
security through which the Jews
of Greece have been passing for
more than a decade.

Candidacy of Mrs. Laura F.
Osborn for Common
Council
a.CnTOLODED FROM PAGE ONE)
nett In Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people, Jews
of the world, recognizing that here
was the opportunity for which they
had waited 2,000 years, celebrated
with parades and prayers of
thanksgiving the opportunity of-
fered to them to return and rebuild
their ancestral land "as of right
and not on sufferance."
Now, Nov. 2, 1935, the dream has
become a reality and Jews every-
where have cause to celebrate the
occasion as a national holiday.
Morris Rothenberg, president of
the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, returning last week from an
extensive tour of Palestine, follow-
ing his participation in the 19th
World Zionist Congress at Lucerne,
said in the course of an interview:
"The extraordinary development,
which began with the advent of
the Jewish National Home policy,
continues to go forward. The agri-
cultural, commercial and industrial
progress which has taken place in
the short period which has elapsed
since the Mandate was assumed by
Britain constitutes a great tribute
to Jewish initiative and courage-
ous pioneering spirit. A modern
civilisation has sprung up in a
country that has lain desolate for
centuries, and all the inhabitants
of the land alike are benefiting,
from its advantages. It is estimated
in Palestine that the Jewish popu-
lation has reached close to the
100 ,900 mark. I am convinced that
Palestine will be found capable of
stentnally absorbing a much larger
population than even the most opti-
mistic now think possible."
Sponsored by 500 patrons and
patronesses, including among them
the leadership of the Jewish com-
munity, the Balfour Ball is ex-
pected to be the most brilliant
social event of the season. The
guests will dance to the music of

ducted Della Robbie Orchestra, The

Mrs. Laura F. Osborn, candidate
for the Common Council, is now
serving her 18th year as a member
of the Board of Education. Three
times she was president of the
school board.
A resident of Detroit for 40
years, she was the originator of
the movement for the present non-
partisan board of education.
"She is perhaps the best ac-
quainted candidate for the council
with the city's biggest project be-
ing the public schools," her friends
say.
In the recent primary election
she placed ninth in a field of more
than 40 candidates.
"Her long record of free, faithful
public service merits her promotion
to a public position in which she
can be of even greater service to
the citizens of Detroit," it is stated
in behalf of her candidacy.
