JERUSALEM ( W N S — Palcor
Agency) — Heeding the pleas of
the foremost leaders of the Jew-
ish community, A. P. Wavell, of-
ficer commanding British troops
in Palestine, commuted to life
imprisonment the death sentence
pronounced on Feb. 4 on Ezekiel
Altman. 22-year-old Jewish ghaf-
fir. Altman, the first Jew con-
demned to death since the estab-
lishment on Nov. 18, 1937, of the ,
emergency military courts, had
been sentenced to die for the
murder of an Arab boy who was
fatally wounded in an attack upon
an Arab bus on the Jerusalem-
Jaffa highway.
An appeal in the case of Nor-
decai Schwartz, who was sentenc-
ed to death by the Court of
Criminal Assizes at Haifa on Jan.

300,000 Immigrated in 18 Years
Statistics published by the
Jewish Agency Executive reveal
that 300,154 Jews entered into
Palestine during the past 18
years. Of that number, 175,000
obtained admission in the past
flee years. During 1937 the Jew-
ish immigration totalled 10,637,
with 21 per cent entering under
the capitalist category.
Twenty-four Revisionists. who
were among 45 arrested under the
emergency regulations in Jerusa-
lem on Nov. 15, 1937, in connec-
tion with disturbances that had
resulted in the death of seven
Arabs and one Jew on the day
previous, were released from Acre
Jail, to which they had been sen-
tenced for three months.
Figures made public here dis-
closed an increase in the volume
of exports from Palestine. Dur-
ing 1937 Palestine imported
stuffs valued at £15,913,000. Its
exports reached the total of £5,-
819,000. Thia represented altin-
crease in exports of £1,604,000
as compared with 1935 and an
increase of £2,194,000 as against
1936.
With troops mobilized for war-
time measures to wipe out ter-
rorist nests in the Nablus-Jenin
area, the toll of Arab dead has
reached 40, it was reported here.
The students' organization of
the Hebrew University has held its
annual elections. Out of a total
of 631 voting, 348 cast ballots for
the labor ticket, 131 for the
General Zionists, 87 for the Re-
visionists and 65 for the Ortho-
dox. In previous years, the ma-
jority has been composed of
General Zionists, Orthodox ad-
herents and Revisionists.
In inter-racial and inter-
religious experiences, as in phys-
ics, every action has an opposite
and equal reaction. Chronicled in
the history of the Jewish people
are numerous facts to substantiate
the contention that every extreme
wave of anti-S emitism also
brought in its wake a strong de-
fensive movement on the part of
non-Jews. Christians have been as
eager to correct misconceptions
about Jews as have our own
spokesmen. While it is true that
such defenders are always a mere
handful, the fact is that they have
been a potent factor in disseminat-
ing truth and in condemning big-
otry.
In spite of the viciousness of
modern anti-Semitism, this is as
true today as it has been through-
out the ages. Men like Oswald
Garrison Villard, John Haynes
Holmes, Harry Elmer Barnes,
Michael Williams, George N.
Shuster and many others who are
prominent in liberal, Protestant
and Catholic circles have written
and lectured in defense of Jew-
ish rights.
But most significant of all is the
new type of literature on the sub-
ect. Not only the church journals,,
ut important church organiza-
tions have produced pamphlets and
have published articles denouncing
the spread of bigotry. This work
has not been limited to the Na-
tional Conference of Jews and
Christians whose 10th anniversary
will be observed this month. Or-
ganizations that reach large num.
bers of Christians are today vol-
untarily taking up the cudgels in
defense of the Jew.
•
"The Church and the Jew."
Perhaps the most important
pamphlet of this nature issued in
this country is the -Hrigliah trans-
lation of the study "The Church
and the Jews," the sub-title of
which is "A Memorial Issued by
Catholic European Scholars," and
which was published in this coun-
try by the Catholic Association for
International Peace, with head-
quarters at 1312 Massachusetts
Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C.
This pamphlet is said to be the
first important official pronounce-
ment by the Catholic Church in the
United States on the question of
anti-Semitism. The English ver-
sion was prepared by Rev. Dr.
Gregory Feige and was issued cs
a report of the National Attitudes
Committee of the organization that
published it. Prof. Carlton J. H.

Appear Before Budget Committee
At a luncheon given in honor
iif Dr. David Lvovitch, represen-
tative of the World Ort Organ-
canization, on Monday, at the
Aztec Tower, a provisional com-
mittee was chosen to form a local
branch of the ORT
The group present at the lunch-
eon agreed that there is need for
the formation of a local organ-
ization for the study of vocation-
al guidance problems, and decided
to create an ORT organization for
educational purposes along these
lines.
In addition to Dr. Lvovitch, who
came to Detroit to address the
budget committee of the Jewish
Welfare Federation. the luncheon
was addressed by David A. Brown,
who declared that as a result of
h i. studies of European conditions
he has become convinced that the
ORT is the most important move-
ment for the preparation of Jews
in European countries for con-
structive economic efforts.
Dr. Lvovitch described the func-
tioning ORT trade.. schools where
Jews are taught to become skill-
ful workers. He pointed out that
the best pioneers in Palestine are
those who have been trained in
ogT schools. and that the Zion-
ist organization prefers to draw
upon ORT graduates for its sett-
lers in Palestine.
"House of Jewish Labor"
Dr. Lvovitch announced that a
"House of Jewish Labor," con-
sisting of a group of trade schools
and workshops and training ten-
