HOW UNITED STATES IS COMMITTED
TO RESTORATION OF JEWISH HOMELAND
(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE)
;------
nomic rights in mandated terri-
tory are quoted in full in "Man-
date for Palestine." The principal
documents, in the form of letters
exchanged between British and
American statesmen, are quoted.
Proof that the pledge to the Jew-
ish people was an important con-
sideration in the negotiations for
the American-British MandeIte
Convention is contained In the fol-
lowing statement in the letter of
Eyre A. Crowe of the British For-
eign Office to George Harvey,
American Ambassador in London.
Mr. Crowe's letter, dated Dec. 29,
1921, stated:

The complete text of the Amer-
ican • British Palestine Mandate
Convention of Dec. 3, 1924, which
is the final document printed in
"Mandate for Palestine," does re-
cite the mandate, including the
article which pledges this country
to the International policy for the
establishment of the Jewish na-
tional home in Palestine. The rati-
fication of the convention was ad-
vised by the United States Senate
Feb. 20, 1925. It was ratified by
President Coolidge March 2, 1925;
by His Majesty the King, March
18, 1925; ratifications were ex-
changed In London Dec. 3, 1925,
a n (I proclaimed by President
Coolidge Dec. 5, 1925. The conven-
tion was signed by Frank B.
Kellogg, then American Ambassa-
dor at London, for the United
States Government, and by Austen
Chamberlain, then British Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs.
This government's commitment
to the Jewish national home idea
is clear, and because of it the hope
and faith of world Jewry is all
the stronger that the sanctity of
the international pledge for the
upbnilding of Zion will be honored.
In a letter to Charles Evans
Hughes, then Secretary of State,
on Jan. 13, 1922, the late Lord
Balfour expressed his anxiety "to
get the agreements In regard to
the mandate for Palestine ad-
vanced a stage in order that the
Council of the League of Nations
might give it their blessing at the
meeting which is now going on at
Geneva." Mr. Hughes' reply to Mr,
Balfour, on Jan. 27, 1922, similarly
took the Jewish homeland idea very
seriously. Speaking of the economic

in several states, members of the
League of Nations, and even in
the countries which have signed
treaties or declarations concerning
the protection of minorities, no
longer corresponds to all the stipu-
lations guaranteed by the League
of Nations."
It demands further that the
League take action "to re-establish
the juridical position" of the Jews
which has been "compromised by
anti-Semitic agitation which has
become more and more violent."
Responsibility for this situation
is placed squarely on the shoul-
ders of Nazi Germany. In this re-
gard, it says "one of the reasons
for this slackening is without any
doubt the anti-Jewish propaganda
carried on in every part of the
world by a powerful state hostile
to the members of the League of
Nations and inparticular to the
rights of the Jewish minorities."

forum speaker will be Dr. Stanley
Rypins, professor of English at
Brooklyn College, who will speak
on the subject "Our Public School
System-is Is Adequate for Edu-
cation in Democracy?"
It describes the situation in
Germany in the following terms:
"The Jewish population has been
from one day to another trans-
formed into a minority without
obtaining minority rights. We
would recall the arguments main-
tained in this connection by the
German delegates shortly before
the departure of the Third Reich
the general disapprobation these
from the League of Nations and
doctrines encountered amongst
other delegations. Not only did
Germany in 1926, when she en-
tered the League require the re-
inforcement of the protection
guaranteed by the League of Na-
tions in the interests of German
minorities, but at that time she
was able to go before the other
members with a system of protec-
tion of minorities applied In a
very satisfactory manner in her
own country. Since then, half a
million Jews who at the time of
the entry to the League were citi-
zen. enjoying the same rights as
other German nationals, have been
placed under a regime to which no
other minority in any other coun•
try is subjected, a regime which
is contrary to the system of the
protection of minorities established
by the League of Nations.
Asserting that for all Jews the
question of the reinforcement of
the obligations assumed by mem-
bers of the League constitutes one
of the most important problems
of the present day, the memoran-
dum requests that two principles
shall be borne in mind by the
statesmen engaged in consolidating
the work of the League:
"1-The necessity of assuring
the protectioin of minoritiies by
all State members;
"2-The necessity of requiring
countries wishing to enter the
League to accept the obligations
concerning the protection and
equality rights of ethniC, religious
and linguistic minorities."

in behalf of our numerous causes
as well as among those whose in-
terest must as yet be aroused.
"The facts and figures in this
book speak volumes in favor of
the work we are doing. By mak.
ing them known we hope further
to solidify the community and to
co-ordinate all our efforts in a
manner which will bring the
greatest good for local as well
as non-local Jewry.
"We are also encouraged by
the possibility of new achieve-
ments in the community work this
year because we are about to see
the organization of a Jewish
Community Council. The great
demands for service that are be-
ing made upon the Jewish com-
munity not only by local but by
world Jewries require a deep un-
derstanding of Jewish problems
and call for a more ready and a
more generous response than has
been given until now.
"The Jewish community must
be prepared for emergencies and
must understand issues. We sin-
cerely believe that the formation
of a Jewish Community Council
will make such an understanding
possible.
"By incorporating into the ef-
forts of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paigns the work of practically
every deserving agency in the
country, we are guaranteeing the
all-inclusiveness of our commu-
nity'a work, although many pieces
of work are inadequately finan-
ced.
"It is with a sense of confi-
dence that we again approach the
Jews of Detroit with • record of
our accomplishments. We are
certain that this record of
achievement will meet with a vote
of confidence and with encour-
agement for even greater service
in the future."

and of the country in general, in
the mood of prosperity.
"A still greater victory with
which the atmosphere of the cam-
paign will be filled will be the re-
vival of prosperity in the demo-
cratic countries of the world as a
group.
"It is now a definite fact that
it is only in the democratic coun-
tries where all citizens enjoy
equal freedom and where there is
no discrimination on the basis of
race or blood, that economic re-
covery ha staken place. The Fas-
cist countries, ruled by dictator
whose sole policy is hatred and
whose populations are enslaved,
are still in the depths of depres-
sion.
"Our duty as citizens of thin
great free democracy is clear. We
must rescue our brethren from
the toils of Nazism in Germany
and in all the countries of eastern
Europe which have succumbed to
its baleful influence. In helping
the chief victims of Fascism, we
are participating in the great
bloodless victory which democracy
is winning throughout the world.
"I hope that every organized
Jewish group in the city will wel-
come our speakers, and give their
members the opportunity to learn
the problem of the Jew in the
world today and how it is met by
the institutions included in the
Allied Jewish Campaign.
"We, the Jews of America, have
a heavy burden to carry. In addi-
tion to maintaining our own in-
stitutions of social service and
education, we have to finance the
salvaging and the reconstruction
of the lives of the millions of our
brethren who are victims of
hostile Fascist societies.
"If the Jews of Poland are
going to be saved, it will be be-
cause we, the Jews of America,
will save them. If Palestine is to
be rebuilt, it will be because we,
the Jews of America, will supply
the funds for its rebuilding. If
