Distin Outlines City Savings
by His Vote Law
Detroit's pernisnent registration
system of enrolling city voters,
originated by Chief Election Su-
pervisor Oakley E. Diston, has eli-
minated fraudulent voting, proven
a convenience to the city's 600,000
registered voters and saved the
city $60,000, Distin, city clerk
candidate, told members of the
Firefighters Association at 4246
Woodward Ave.
"By requiring signatures for
identification purposes," Distin
said, "the old practice of voting
floaters and deceased voters by the
hundreds, was eliminated.
"Since inception of the law the
city has saved $60,000 to hire help
to handle the half-million voters
required to re-register every four
years. This same saving will be
effected every four years."
Distin cited his record of 22
years in city service as "reason
for his promotion to city Clerk."
For the test 17 years Distin has
been chief election supervisor of
the city. He is secretary of the
city election commission and the
police and firemen's pension com-
mittee. He also served as secretary
to the charter commission, which
drafted Detroit's present charter.
A PLACE OF PRIORITY FOR THE
JEWISH SCHOOL
(CONCLUDED

people as well as to the community at large as Jews.
Too many Jewish children acquire only a smattering of
knowledge about their origin. But it is not the fault of
the children. The parents are to blame. If the parents
were to take a deeper interest in the effect of their sur-
roundings upon their children, in the dangers that lurk
behind ignorance, there would be a different story to tell.
Parents have been charged with indifference. In re-
ality it is negligence that is responsible for the present
state of affairs as regards Jewish learning. Jews are
not indifferent but are too preoccupied with their every
day affairs to become concerned over the primary respon-
sibility to their children. For this reason, the obser-
vance of Education Month becomes an event of primary
importance in our community. By means of such obser-
vance the heads of our schools aspire to reach fathers
and mothers and to advise them on the necessity of mak-
ing Jewish education the primary ideal for Jews.
Two years before his death, Louis Marshall delivered
a magnificent plea for Jewish education and in the course
of his address said: "I think this is par excellence the
greatest problem of the Jew of today. I have the great-
est sympathy for those who need hospitals, or homes for
the aged, or the alleviation of their physical needs. But
compared with the necessity that exists of giving reli-
gious and spiritual food to the children of Israel, all these
other philanthropies pale into insignificance."
The late Louis Marshall's plea made 10 years ago
holds good today. It is a call to parents not to neglect
the cultural and spiritual needs of their children. It ad-
monishes Jews to remember that by sacrificing the Jew-
ish school they sacrifice their horitage.
The duty of parents is clear: they must strive to pro-
vide the best Jewish education available for their chil-
dren. Instead of a handful of schools for approximately
15 per cent of children of school age, there should be a
demand in our community for the building of more
schools, for a place for every Jewish boy and girl in a
modernly equipped Talmud Torah where our boys and
girls should be guaranteed a thorough knowledge of
their people and their history. The budgets for Jewish
schools should be three or four or five times their present
size. The Jewish school must acquire a place of honor
in Jewish life. The Jewish parents can force the issue
through sincere concern for the Jewish training of their
children. This ought to become the aspiration of every
Jewish father and mother.

the Jewish theological Seminary

were closed in tribute to Mr. War-
burg. Messages of regret at his
death poured in on the family
from every corner of the earth
and from men and women in every
walk of life. Jew and Gentile, rich
and poor, joined in paying the
last honors to the great Jewish
Philanthropist. The New York
dailies all devoted editorials to
Praising his career and his serv-
ices to the city while the Yiddish
press published whole pages in
reviewing his years of activity in
behalf of the Jewish people.
Among the national figures who
expressed their regret at Mr. War-

General Farley, Governor Lehman,
Bishop William T. Manning, John
W. Davis, Mayor La Guardia and
Russell Leffingwell of J. P. Mor-

Palestine Shaken by News
JERUSAL EM (WNS-Palcor
Agency) — Palestine Jewry was
deeply shaken by the news of the
death in New York of Felix 31.
Warburg, who in recent years had
played an important role in the
Jewish upbuilding activities in the
country. The sorrow of the com-
munity was voiced at memorial
exercises in the Jewish Agency
building auditorium. Eliezer Kap-
lan, Dr. Maurice Ilexter, Dr. Ar-
thur Ruppin and Dr. Werner Sen-
ator, members of the executive
committee spoke of Mr. Warburg's
personality and his achievements
on behalf of Palestine. World
Jewry and Palestine particularly
have suffered a great loss in his
passing, was the theme of their
addresses. The Jewish Agency Ex-
ecutive telegraphed its condol-
ences to Mrs. Warburg, who
shared with her husband deep in-
terest in the Jewish homeland.
Special memorial exercises for
Mr. Warburg were held at the Ile-
brew University, in whose develop-
ment Mr. Warburg played a no-
table part. Dr. Judah L. 3fagnes,
president of the university, deliv-
ered the memorial address.. "With-
out Felix Warburg and his wife,
the Hebrew University would not
have existed in its present form,"
Dr. Magnes said.
The offices of the Jewish Agen-
cy were closed and the Magee
David flew at half mast as the
official representative body of
world Jewry in Palestine paid
tribute to the deceased leader. The
foremost leaders of Palestine Jew-
ry and of the American colony
attended by memorial services.
Dr. Hester, who was a close per-
sonal friend of Mr. Warburg, was
so overcome by emotion that he
had to stop in the midst of his
tribute to one whom he called
"the great Jew of America."
J. D. C. Offices Closed

LONDON (WNS) — The death
of Felix M. Warburg was de-
scribed as an irreparable loss to
world Jewry by Jewish leaders
here. Joining in the deep sorrow
expressed throughout English
Jewry were Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
president of the Jewish Agency;
Lord Samuel; Neville Laski, presi-
dent of the Board of Deputies of
British Jews, and Leonard G.
Montefiore, president of the An-
glo-Jewish Association.
The sorrow of Jewry at the
passing of Felix H. Warburg was
expressed by Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, at memorial services held
in the Zionist office. The Zionist
leader paid a glowing tribute to
Mr. Warburg who, he said, was his
intimate friend whether in agree-
ment or disagreement. "He always
poured oil on troubled waters,"
Dr. Weizmann declared, referring
to his efforts for peaceful cooper-
ation within the Jewish Agency
Council. "Felix Warburg was the
ideal non-Zionist," Prof. Selig
Brodetsky, member of the Jewish.
Agency Executive said of Mr.
Warburg, whose death he charac-
terized as a blow to all of Jewry:
"Ile did not always share the Zion.
ist philosophy but he always
shared Zionist responsibility."
Among others who spoke at the
services were Simon Marks, Nev-
ille Laski and Lionel Cohen.

by the government, but its con-
tents became known in wide cir-
cles. At the first meeting of the
party's founders a vigorous pro-
test against ghetto benches was
adopted and assurances of sup-
port for the Jews in their fight
for equal rights were announced.
At the same time Professor Micha-
lowicz served notice on the min-
istry of education that he will not
lecture at the university if he is
forced to segregate Jewish stu-
dents.
Meanwhile the Endek organ,
Dzienik Narodwa, called for the
institution of a numerus clausus
for Jews in trade and industry
and even demanded that the Jew-
ish employers be forbidden to em-
ploy more than 25 per cent Jews.
The All-Polish Medical Congress,
bowing to vigorous protests
against the exclusion of Jewish
doctors, has agreed to admit Jew-
ish converts to Christianity and
Jews who served in the Polish
army. Nevertheless it ordered the
expulsion of its Lemberg and Cra-
cow branches because they ob-

fering serious losses while thea-
ters and cafes in all the large
cities have reported a great fall-
ing off in business. The strike,
which is to continue until Oct.
29, is being directed by Senator
Moses Schorr, leader of the Jew-
ish bloc in the Polish senate. Re-
gional committees working under
him are functioning in Lodz. Cra-
cow, Lemberg, Vilna and Posen.
The strike week is called "Jewish
Students' Week" because the
money saved during this period
is to be turned over to a fund to
aid the Jewish students in their
fight against ghetto benches in
the Warsaw colleges and univer-
sities. Proceeds of the fund will
be allocated to establish Jewish
student homes and to provide
scholarships for Jewish students.
Meanwhile, the All-Polish Con-
gress of Trade Unions went on
record as opposed to the ghetto
seating system and pledged its
support to the fight against anti-
Semitism.
As a direct outgrowth of Chris-
tian democratic and liberal co-
operation with Polish Jewry's na-
tion-wide general strike of pro-
test last week against the insti-
tution of ghetto benches in the
Polish universities, 300 of the
country's leading intellectuals and
liberals have launched a new dem-
ocratic party which is pledged to
combat anti-Semitism in all its
manifestations. Moving spirit in
the new party is Prof.' Mieczyslaw
Michalowicz, director of the chil-
dren's diseases clinic at Pilsud-
ski University. Warsaw, who has
defied the government and re-
fused to segregate Jewish students
in his lecture rooms.
Organizers of the new party
include writer's physicians, artists
and professional men. The party's

sor Michalowicz, was suppressed

31EXICO CITY. — Representa-

Lazard Cardenas for constitu-

Nazi organizations in Mexico
have been extremely active, it is
charged by the National Labor
Federation, the largest labor or-
ganization in the country, which
alleges that these groups are
working directly under the Ger-
ma nlegation. While there is no
direct proof that the German lega-
tion is behind the anti-Jewish
campaign there is little doubt that
some virulent newspaper attacks
in late weeks have constituted
paid propaganda from some
source.
Mexico City Jews who employ
35,000 Mexicans in the garment
and textile industries are particu-
larly worried about the point in
the bill now before Congress that
declares that "commercial activi-
ties of Poles, Russians, Syrians
and Jews are illegitimate and an-
ti-social and consequently com-
mercial licenses in their favor
should be canceled."
