Another Appeal to
Cosnmunity

Workers in the American Com-
mittee Appeal drive to raise De-
troit's $25,000 quota of the na-
tion $1,000,000 fund for the re-
lief of Jews in Poland were great-
ly encouraged by the report of
_large contributions announced at
the meeting last Thursday.
Leading the number of larger
donors are Davidson Bros., whose
check for $250 was presented by
Julius Braun, one of the ener-
getic workers in the drive.
Enthusiasm also marked the
reading of other names of larger
donors among whom are Ru-
dolph Zuieback, Harry Cohen,
Markowitz & Rosen, Wolf Kap-
lan, S. Koren, W. Weisbrot, Sam
Licht and others. Mr. Cohen also
joined the list of active workers.
Public acknowledgement of con-
tributions will be made as soon as
lists are compiled.
Enlist New Workers
Dr. Perry Burnstine is another
addition to the growing list of
workers and supporters. Together
with Dr. S. Kleiman, Dr. Burn-
stole will canvass Detroit phy-
sicians for contributions to this
cause.
Presidents
of
organizations
met last Sunday and promised to
work tirelessly for the success of
the drive. Among them were:
Samuel M. Schwartz and Harry
Levine of the Yiddish Folks Ver-
eM, Max Charness of the Kesh-
enever Bessarabier Society, Harry
Cohen; representing Congrega-
tion Shaarey Zedek, Mr. Galatch-
insky of the Turover Aid Society,
Ben Goldin of the Mlaver, S.
Kraft, A. Kovitz and others.
Gift from Dr. Wise
Local workers were also cheer-
ed byword from New York that
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, before
sailing for Europe, joined the
ever-growing list of donors to
help save Polish Jewry from ex-
tinction. In a statement to Ben-
jamin Winter, national chairman
of the drive, accompanying his
$260 check, Dr. Wise said: "I
do not wish to leave America
without sending you a contribu-
tion on behalf of Mrs. Wise and
myself for your fund. I am
looking forward with satisfaction
to seeing you upon my return and
I trust that American Jewry may
generously place such funds in
your hands as will enable the
Polish Committee under your
leadership to be of real service
to our brother Jews within the
Polish Republic."
Stressing the immediate need
of Polish Jews for relief from
frightful poverty, Chairmen
Henry M. Abramovitz, Co-Chair-
man Harry Weinberg, Treasurer
Joseph H. Ehrlich and Financial
Secretary Morris Shatzen, issued
an appeal to all who made pledges
to remit as soon as possible to
enable the Detroit committee to
send its first allotment of money
to Poland where it is badly
needed.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1936

LONDON (WNS—Palcor Agen-
cy)—"I would suggest the arm-
ing of colonies for self-defense,"
it was declared by David Lloyd
George, prime minister of Eng-
land, when the Balfour Declara-
tion was issued, during the most
thorough-going debate on Pales-
tine that the House of Commons
has heard in a long time. "I am
convinced that the Colonial Sec-
retary is remaining firm," he said,
"but it is more important to dis-
play sufficient forces in Palestine
to prove that Britain means busi-
ness. It is doubtful if 10,000
men are adequate. Britain must
not allow isolated settlements to
remain unprotected."
"The Abyssinian war encour-
aged the Arabs of Palestine to
make trouble at this time," he
said. It is impossible to fulfill
the demand of the Arabs that
Great Britain tear up its Man-
datory obligations, Lloyd George
asserted, pointing out that Britain
had emancipated the Arabs of
Arabia, Mesopotamia and Trans-
Jordan, who are now freer than
they have been in centuries."

The most profound impress
lion was made by the remarks
of Lloyd George, as he painted
■ glowing picture of the help-
fulness of the Jewish people
during the war and paid • re-
markable tribute to Weizmann
for his great assistance at most
critical periods by his scientific
achievements. His speech was
• mingling of humor and pa•
thos, as he insisted that Bri•
Cain's honor demanded that she
fulfill her obligations to the
Jews, the Arab national amities
tions having been fully satis-
fied.

the experiment in Jewish colon-

right in principle but doubtfuliof
success. Instead, this experi-
ment had been proved an over-

evoke our desire to do everything
to help, providing no injustice is
done to the Arabs," the Colon-

ine the possibility of reserving
areas for Arabs, he remarked.
Palestine is strategetically the

JERUSALEM: The old Yiddish
story of the second oboe is known
to many. It goes something like
this: A traveler came into a hotel
late at night and asked for a
room. Ile was told that there
was only one vacant room and
this was next to the room of a
very nervous man. Therefore he
must remember to make no noise.
The traveler agreed. While un-
dressing, however, he forgot the
admonition and tossed one shoe
on the floor with a loud thud.
Then, suddenly remembering, he
gently set down the other shoe.
About three hours later there was
a thump on the wall and his
neighbor 'called in anxiously,
"When are you going to throw
the second shoe?"
For more than eight weeks, the
Jews in Palestine have been in
the predicament of the nervous
man next door. Since the black
hour Qn April 19 when slaughter
began in the streets of Jaffe, they
have been waiting for second
shoes. And the second shoes have
come flying from all directions.
Today shooting in Jerusalem. The
next day burning of crops in the
Keren Hayesod settlements in the
Jezreel Valley. And the day af-
ter the destruction of a water
pump at Kfar Tabor.
For this outbreak of lawless-
ness has had none of the orderli-
ness of a war. There has been
no mass attack and no front.
There has been sniping and in-
cendiarism and uprooting of trees.

NEW YORK (WNS) — Ger-
many's anti-Semitic laws have no
legal standing in the United States
even in cases involving a German
corporation, it was declared by Su-
preme Court Justice William T.
Collins in a ruling in which he
granted permission to Marcel M.
Holzer, a German Jewish refugee,
to sue the German State Railways
in New York for $50,000 damages
because he was dismissed from his
job as non-Aryan and sent to a
concentration camp. Holzer, who
was a transportation expert for
the German Railways before the
advent of the Nazi regime, is seek-
ing damages because he claims the
German firm broke a contract with
him and discharged him solely be-
cause he is a Jew.
The defendants sought to dis-
miss the suit on the ground that
the New York State courts were
without jurisdiction because the
contract with Holzer was made un-
der the laws of Germany and abro-
gated under the laws of the same
country, and because Marcel had
accepted payment in full while he
was in a concentration camp. On
the first point Judge Collins ruled
that it was up to a jury to decide
the question of sovereignty. The
third point made by the defense
was also ruled out on the ground
that whatever money Holzer ac-
cepted while a prisoner was done
under duress and therefore illegal.
In rejecting the second point
Judge Collins castigated Nazi anti-
Semitism when he said 'whereas it
would be offensive to the German
Government, with which we are at
peace, to presume to control or dic-
tate or regulate the policies of the
German Government within the
borders of Germany, we are, ne-
vertheless, not obligated by the law
of comity to enforce the law of
Germany when Its enforcement is
sought here contrary to our every
sense of justice, liberty and moral-
ity. In announcing this result we
are not looking for trouble. It is
the Reichsbahn that is asking us
to recognize and apply the Ger-
man law to an action pending here,
and we answer, 'let us see whether
our public policy enables us to do
what you ask.' In so doing we are
not at the moment concerned with
the conscience of Germany, but
with our public policy to an action
pending here because the policy of
Germany so shockingly conflicts
with ours."
