So-Called "Franklin Proph-

Outrageous Lie

One of the most enthusiastic meetings
ever held in Detroit under the auspices of the
Jewish Welfare Federation took place on
Tuesday evening at Hotel Statler when more
than 100 men and women gathered to organ-
ize teams for the 1937 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign. The coming drive will officially open on May 2,

but preliminary solicitations of larger contributors will
commence within a month.
Heads of seven of the ten divisions that have been
selected by the Trade Council of the Detroit Service
Group to conduct the drive, made their reports and an-
nounced that they have already selected their captains.
Irving Blumberg, co-chairman with M. A. Mittle-

man of the Trade Council, who*
presided at the meeting, made a
plea to the workers to proceed
with their organizational activi-
ties at once and expressed con-
fidence in the inevitable success
of the drive, if the enthusiastic
display thus far is an indication
of what is to be expected.

DETROIT MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1937

Vol. XXXVIII No. 42

The lie now being spread in
Germany that Benjamin Franklin
was an anti-Semite was branded
as an outrageous forgery in a
statement issued on Tuesday by
the Detroit chapter of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress. The state-
ment was made in behalf of the
Congress by Philip Slomovitz, lo-
cal chairman, when the forgery
was quoted in a cable from Berlin
in the Detroit Free Press of
Tuesday, March 9.
In a letter to Malcolm W. Bin-
gay, editorial director of the De-
troit Free Press, Mr. Slomovitz
outlined the facts regarding the
spread of the libel on Benjamin
Franklin's name, and quoted from
Dr. Charles A. Beard's refutation
of the forgery. His letter follows:
March 9, 1937.
Mr. Malcolm W. Bingay,
Managing Director,
Detroit Free Press,
Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Mr. Bingay:
It is impossible to reply to all
the falsehoods which are being
spread by Nazis in Germany and
by their cohorts in this country,
but when falsifiers of history pre-
sume to draw upon forgeries
which involve American history
and the founders of our Republic,
it is high time for us to speak.
The getrolt Free Press of
Tuesday, March 9, publishes a
cable from Berlin showing that
Der Angriff, the mouthpiece of
the Nazi propaganda minister, Jo-
seph Goebbels, has quoted the
statement which it credits to Ben-
jamin Franklin. It is well, there-
fore, for the sake of the record
to call to the attention of the
American people and particularly
to those readers of the Free Press
who have seen this notice, the
fact that an outrageous forgery
has been committed. The truth
of. the matter is that the Ben-
jamin Franklin, forgery was pub-
lished in • this country either late
in 1934 or at the beginning of
1935. It was broadcast at that
time in Germany by Julius
Streicher's pornographic and anti-
Semitic newspaper, Der Stuermer.
Immediately upon the publica-
tion of the forgery, Dr. Charles
A. Beard, eminent historian. is-
sued a statement in which he de-
clared that the so-called "Frank-
lin prophecy" is a "crude forg-
ery." Dr. Beard at that time, in
an article which appeared in the
March, 1935, issue of the Jewish
Frontier, proved that the widely
quoted "Pinckney Diary" attribut-
ing the most rabid anti-Semitism
to "Poor Richard" is an invention.
Di.. Beard did a great service to
the cause of truth by pointing out
that the publication of this for-
gery was deceiving the credulous

JERUSALEM (WNS— Palcor
Agency)-1f the renewed disturb-
ances in Palestine continue their
menacing form, control of the
country will be assumed by the
military authorities, it was refl.
ribly learned. This development
came after curfew in Jerusalem,
imposed in an attempt to brake the
passions which flamed high follow-
ing a series of Incidents which
started with the shooting of a Jew
on his way to the Wailing Wall
for prayer, was lifted as officials
considered the danger of outbreaks
had subsided. A solemn tension
reminiscent of the middle of 1936
gripped the city as the authorities
fixed curfew from 9 p. m. to 5 a.
m. Steel-helmeted police patrolled
the streets, all traffic between here
and Tel Aviv and between Jaffa
and Tel Aviv was suspended, the
main exits from Jerusalem were
barricaded and cinemas cancelled
performances. With the lifting of
the curfew, traffic between Tel
Aviv and Jaffa was resumed, Jew-
ish busses were accompanied by
police, however, and police patrols
were strengthened in Jerusalem
especially in Jewish quarters. A
crowd of Arabs that attempted a
demonstration near Haifa harbor
was checked and dispersed by the
police.
Fatal incidents leading up to
the curfew followed each other in
swift succession. The first victim
was Yehuda Schneerson, 42 year
old son of a rabbi and secretary of
the Jerusalem Revisionist organi-
zation, who was shot in the back
and seriously wounded by an Arab
lurking in an Old City alley near
the Wailing Wall. Later one Arab
was shot dead and another slightly
wounded near Rehavia while Stan-
islaw Slugs, a Polish-Christian la-
borer, employed in a Jewish grove
near Ness Ziona, was critically
wspaded when he was mistaken
doe a Jaw. Two:other Jews, among
them Eliyahu Levy, 15 years old,
were injured when Arabs began
throwing stones in the convent
quarters. The shooting of Schneer-
son stirred the Jewish community
deeply as this was the first time
since last October that there has
been any such brutal violence in
Jerusalem.
Menacing overtones of Arab
terrorist preparations reverberated
in various forms, including the in-
juring in Haifa of four Arabs
when bombs which they were
manufacturing exploded prema-
turely. Sidky Tabbarl head of the
Arab National Committee in Tibe-
rias, was banished for six months
to Ramallah for his share in
fomenting the recent disorders
there. He was told by the district
authorities to produce a bond of
$1,000 to insure his good behavior
at Ramallah. The police blotter
also recorded shooting at Yakhin
in the Tulkarm district on March
4. Two hundred orange trees in
the Jewish settlement were dam-
aged. The famous Kadoorie Agri-
cultural School, the government
institution for Jewish student
farmers on Mt. Tabor, was also
the target for hillside snipers.
Ghiffirs drove off the attackers.
Police stated that the casualties
were unknown, Two Arabs broke

Canada to Import
Large Shipment of
Palestine Oranges

"Yakhin" Arranges for Insurance
for Orange Groves

TEL AVIV, Palestine.—A con-
siderable amount of Palestinian
oranges and grapefruits, products
of Jewish-owned Pardessim, were
sold in Canada and they will
shortly appear on the markets in
the city of Montreal, as well as
In other cities in Canada.
This sale of Palestinian fruit
in Canada was arranged through
the Palestine Agricultural Asso-
ciation "Yakhin." It is anticipated
that the Jewish community in
Canada will give considerable
help in this worthy undertaking
by demanding Palestinian oranges
and grapefruits, which are known
the world over for their delectable
taste and fine quality.
All Palestinian oranges on sale
in Canadian markets are the prod-
ucts of Jewish-owned Pardeuim
cultivated exclusively by organ-
ized Jewish labor. A great num-
ber of these Pardessim are owned
by American Jews who plant
through "Yakhin" and who are
now reaping their first income
from their investments.
Due to the risk involved In con-
nection with the recent MU,
many English companies have re-
fused to accept insurance on Jew-
ish-owned orange groves. "Ye-
khin," the well-known agricul-
tural association. branch of the
ilistadmith, succeeded, through
her initiative, to secure insurance
for the groves cultivated by her.
The largest insurance compa-
nies of Palestine have joined to-
gether with "Yakhin" in this step
towards securing the orange
groves. They have, through the
facilities of their united forces,
taken over the responsibilities of
all possible damages which might
occur in the future.
The costs of this thrums are
approximately the same as in
former year, The accomplishment
is an indication of confidence for
the future.
