Supreme Court Justice Felic-
itated on His 80th
Birthday

PROCLAIMED CURRENT
HISTORY'S GREAT JEW

Impressive Celebration Held
by Jewish Agency in
Jerusalem

NEW YORK (WNS) — While
Supreme Court Justice Louis D.
Brandeis marked his 80th birth•
day by sitting on the bench of
the highest court of the land,
American Jewry paid tribute to
its most famous son with a series
of nation-wide meetings and other
demonstrations of honor. A mes-
sage from Dr. Stephen S. Wise
and Louis Lipsky, president and
vice-president respectively of the
American Jewish Congress, said
that "thousands of members of
the American Jewish Congress
through the land offer their greet-
ings to the founder of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress upon his
80th anniversary. You have done
most to help American Jews to
understand the necessity of de-
mocratically organizing and main-
taining Jewish life in our own free
and democratic land. American
Israel honors with gratitude and
affection this anniversary birth-
day celebration, and prays that
decades more may be added to a
life of lofty service to America
and the Jewish people." The Con-
gress also announced that it was
sponsoring a number of public
demonstrations in honor of Jus-
tice Brandeis' birthday.

As these words are written
Madrid is the scene of the most
sanguinary battle since the World
War. It may be an exaggeration
to say that if the Fascists capture
Madrid they will have clinched vic-
tory, sealed the fate of the second
Spanish Republic and established
Fascism on the Iberian Peninsula.
The embattled loyalist government
will probably be able to continue
its fight from Catalonia. But one
thing is certain—the fall of
Madrid is almost certain to write
finis to the third, and perhaps the
last, chapter of Jewish history in
Spain.

HEBREW SCHOOLS'
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Schaflander Heads Commit.
tee for the 1936
Campaign

The first meeting for the an•
nual membership campaign of the
United Hebrew Schools was held
Thursday evening, Nov. 19, at
the home of Dr. Albert E. Bern-
stein. Harry Cohen, the president

of this kind in Spain would have
aroused only academic interest in
Jewish circles, for Spain was as
near to being "judenrein" as at
any time since the expulsion in
1492. To the average Spaniard of
the first decade of this country
Jews in the flesh were unknown.
In contemporary Jewish history
Spain was represented by a blank
page.
It was the World War that
brought Spain back to the Jewish
scene. German and Austrian Jews
interned in Paris at the outbreak
of the war were given their
choice of going to any neutral
country. About 1,000 of them, in-
cluding the late Dr. Max Nordau,
chose Spain, settling in Barcelona.
Although most of these expatriates
returned to their native lands
after 1918, the few that remained,
together with a number of Jews
from Poland and Russia, succeed-
ed in laying the basis for a new
Jewish community. At the same
time small numbers of Sephardic
Jews from Morocco, Turkey,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and
Rumania settled in Madrid and
Seville during the war years.
Under the patronage of Ignacia
Bauer, Spanish representative of
the House of Rothschild, Jewish
life began to revive in Spain.

Thousands Attracted

On the eve of the revolution of
1931, which dethroned King Al-
fonso, there were some 5,000 Jews

JERUSALEM. — (Palcor
Agency)—Six months of political
disturbances have not disturbed
the economic foundations of Pales-
tine.
Many countries of the world
have come to regard the country
as a place of perennial employ-
ment, • huge treasury surplus,
enormous immigration and a
steady influx of capital. Pales-
tine's prosperity has become a
wearisome subject. So firmly fixed
indeed is this idea that a slacken-
ing in general business conditions
—which came about as a result of
the international situation and, in
a measure, of the local Arab
strike—is discounted in most
quarters and disregarded com-
pletely in others. Foreign com-
ment is as enthusiastic about our
surplus as ever. The world press
still makes much of the country's
prosperity. The press of Palestine
passes lightly over the slow-down
in trade.

Immeasurably greater powers of
resistance to crises. The difficul-
ties through which Palestine
passed during the past few months
hare not either damaged her finan-
cial structure or seriously im-
paired her development. An im-
pressive fact that emerges from
the confusion of a perilous land
boom and land speculation, the
somewhat over-liberal credit sys-
tem, the world situation, which
naturally had repercussions in
this country—the one impressive
feature in these unsavory and un-

British Liberals Fear Anti-Fascist
May Prove to Be a Two-Edged Sword

LONDON. — (WNS) — While
approving in general the objec-
tives of the anti-Fascist bill in-
troduced in the House of Com-
mons under government auspices,
liberal and labor circles here are
reported to be seriously con-
cerned lest a law aimed at curb-
ing Fascism and anti-Semitism
turn out to be a two-edged
sword which could be used against
liberals and workers. The latter
groups are especially aroused be-
cause the bill gives very much
enlarged powers to the police
which enable them to determine
when public meetings and demon-
strations may or may not be held.
The National Council for Civil
Liberties has convened an extra-
ordinary meeting of its executive
committee to decide on what
should be done about this phase
of the anti-Fascist bill.
Meanwhile, the Association of
Jews and Christians has issued a
pronouncement condemning at-
tacks on Jews in Great Britain
and calling for increased friendly
