weeks. Membership cards are be-
ing mailed this week to all repre-
sentatives, entitling them to ad-
mission to all regular and special
sessions of the council. A news
letter is also being issued, both in
English and in Yiddish, as a means
of keeping all affiliated groups in-
formed of the Council's activities.
Simon Shetzer, president of the
Council, has announced the ap-

public relations committee. Other

to refute libelous charges against
Jews and to expose their authors;
to create good-will between Jews
and non-Jews through dinseminat-
licize the activities of the Council

the radio, and a periodic news let-
ter; to establish a speakers' bureau

be contacted by speakers in the

tions are also invited to submit
their applications for membership
to the council.

lished by the council Is proving
increasingly effective as organiza-
tions become aware of its useful-
ness. The month of January will

the fact that there are already 26
events scheduled.

Poland, approximately 125,000 per-
sons, on the island of Madagas-
car, its colony off the coast of
Africa, Foreign Minister Yvon
Delbos, is reported to have told
Col. Josef Beck, Polish foreign
minister, in the course of their
conversations regarding the Eu-
ropean crisis,
Agreeing with Colonel Beck's
contention that Poland has just
as much right to colonies, M. Del-
boo is understood to have agreed
to the Jewish colonization project
provided the settlers are furnished
with the capital necessary to estab-
lish farms and for other needs.
The basis of the discussion was
the report rendered by an official
Polish commission of two Jews and
a Christian who recently returned
from Madagascar and found the
land suitable for European set-
tlers, The 30,000 Jewish families,
part of Poland's so-called "super-
fluous" Jews, would be settled over
a period of six years. There was
also mention made of government
assistance in the colonists.
Ghetto Bench Fight
The Jewish student protest
against ghetto benches in Polish
universities brought its first vic-
tory when the authorities of the
Wawelberg Technical College in
Warsaw revoked an order provid-
ing for the exclusion of Jewish
students who insisted on standing
up rather than occupy the special
seats provided for them. The re-
vocation resulted from legal action
instituted by the heirs of the Jew-
ish founders of the college for the
return of the building, Meanwhile
the government had before it the
protest of the Central Committee
of Polish Trades Unions condemn-
ing ghetto benches and anti-Jew-
ish disorders and demanding that
measures be taken for their sup-
pression.
At a conference of police officials
called by the governor of the %Var.
saw district it was decided not to
permit picketing of Jewish shops
during the Christmas shopping
season because it would interfere
with free trade and lead to breach-
es of public order.
