The report presented by Arthur Hantke, director of the Palestine Foundation Fund (Keren Haye- sod), showed there are 223 settle- ments in Palestine today, com- pared to 25 in 1888 and 55 in 1914. Since the fund was established in 1921 the sum of $32,387,275 has been raised for immigration, colonization, education and gen- eral development purposes. Michael Traub, director of the fund in Germany in a written re- port to the conference disclosed that during the pant five years German Jewry had supplied the fund with more than $2,000,000, although the Jewish population in the Reich declined from 520,000 in 4,33 to 355,000 in July this year.

S. HOUSTON Terrorism Continues; Internation- al Telephone Service Suspended JERUSALEM. — (WNS) — Government suspension of all in- ternational telephone service from Palestine, and censorship of re- ports on the disturbances were enforced here'as Arab violence in the Holy Land tolled the death of many, and injured scores, both Jews and Arabs. Curfew con- tinued in effect in Jaffa—where a bomb explosion last Friday re- sulted in the death of 32 Arabs— in Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus and Ramleh. It was learned from Arab sources that an ■ appeal ad- dressed to Arab terrorists by leading Moslem religious lead- ers urging them to abstain from murder and violence during the three-month penitential period known as Shehur Al Harem, was angrily rejected by leaders of the disorders. In some in- stance. the Arab terrorists showed their displeasure with the plea of the Moslem clergy by sending threatening letters to Moslem priests. The appeal to the terrorist ringleaders is said to have been signed by prominent Arab religious fig- ures, including the Kadi of Je- rusalem and the Mufti of Acre. It urged that Shehur AI Ha- ram, which according to Islamic tradition, is devoted to inten- sive prayer, should not be vio- lated by continued bloodshed. Terrorism mounted steadily in Tel Aviv-Jaffa boundary leaving in its wake nine Jews wounded, three seriously, by a bomb explo- sion, and the destruction of a synagogue, due to incendiary fire. Internal terrorism among Arabs flared up again resulting in the slaying of a Christian Arab near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem and the murder of an Arab con- stable in Jaffa. Following recent attacks by snipers upon traffic on the Jerusalem-Jaffa highway, sev- eral houses were demolished in the village of Kubab which is sus- pected of having sheltered the at- tackers. In all parts of the coun- try, in fact, disorders continued, climaxed by the razing of the po- lice post at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. A.

Tay- lor, Aerican m vie-chairman c of the Com mittee was planning to go to Rome this week for a first hand study of the situation. State De- partment officials intimated that expansion of the Committee's scope to cover the Italian situa- tion would extremely delicate be- cause such a step might encourage other countries anxious to get rid of their Jewish citizens, notably Poland and Rumania, to follow suit. Meanwhile, it was learned that under the Italian quota from 4,000 to 5,000 immigrants can be admitted for the year beginning July 1, 1938 provided they were born in Italy. Italian Jew!, of for- eign birth must apply under the quota of the country of origin. All agents of foreign govern- ments in the United States except diplomatic and consular officers and persons "performing only private, non-political, financial, mercantile, or other activities in furtherance of the bona fide trade Or commerce of foreign nations" were ordered by the United States Government to register with the State Department immediately as the new law covering foreign propagandists came into effect.

Jewish Admiral Dismissed by Italy Jewish The recall by the Italian minis- try of marine of Rear Admiral Paolo Maroni, commander of the naval forces at Palma, Majorca, disclosed that Italy's anti-Jewish crusade has been extended to the armed forces. A former naval at- tache at many capitals, Admiral Maroni served in the World War and the Ethiopian campaign, br- ing decorated several times. At the same time the anti-Semitic paper II Tevere demanded that the Sydney Sonnino Square in the Trastevere District of Rome be given a new name. The square is named for the lute Baron Sydney Sonnino, Jewish statesman, Who was premier of Italy for 100 (lays before the World War. The paper said Sonnino's name could be glorified in .the ghetto. Three thousand Jewish pupils in Turin and Florence are also slated to be expelled.

Fritz Kuhn, who was re-elected national leader, outlined a nine- point program of action which de- manded the exclusion of Jews from the army and navy and edu- cational institutions. Speaking in German at a session held at Camp Nordland at Andover, N. J., Kuhn said his program would "save America from being controlled by the international Marxist Jews. A socially just, white Gen- tile-ruled United States," Gentile- ruled American labor unions. a "thorough cleaning of our most important medium of propaganda and entertainment, the Hollywood film industry;" "severance of dip- lomatic relations with Russia:" "the outlawing of the Communist Party;" "immediate cessation of all dumping of undesirable aliens disguised as political refugees on th shores of this country" and "cessation of all abuse of the freedom of the pulpit, press, ra- dio, and stage, undermining the patriotism and morals of the American people" were other points put forward by Kuhn.

JEWS ONCE USED SWASTIKA EMBLEM JERUSALEM. (WNS-Palcor Agency)—According to a find just made on the ancient site of Apamea, an important ruined Seleucid city near Hama, Jews who lived in Syria under the Seleucidae Dynasty —at least 1,300 years ago— used the swastika, present em- blem of Nazi rule. The city flourished during the early centuries of the Christian era. Belgian archaeologists investi- gated a synagogue which was found to have an altar stand- ing on a richly-decorated mo- saic floor, near the remains of a Byzantine church inside the walls of the old fortress of Kalat Mudik. The hooked crosses appeared in consider- able numbers in one corner of the marble squares forming the floor design. The discovery is one more instance of the ex- tensive use of the swastika, also known as the flyfot or gammadion (from the Greek letter Gamma), as One of the few decorative religious em- blems found in pre-historic re- mains in European Asia and in the Latin Americas.

Addi- tional taxation is' the first solu- tion proposed by hysterical poli- ticians. If $10,000,000 for relief are necessary, they can be found by meager economies in Michigan's governmental expenditures. What we need is comma- sense adminis- tration of governmental expendi- tures—state and local, not more taxes. "Business is today engendering a new confidence and starting the nation back towards recovery. Ev- ery tax levied on business is a tax on the laborer, who is the con- sumer. Every new tax on Michi- gan business drives employment out of Michigan and the workers are entitled to a fair deal." 16 Rabbis Arrested in Russia Saboteurs to the forces that seek its destruc- tion and follow the example of f , he Yishub in the defense of their I rights.

Kennedy declared in an ad- dress at the laying of the corner- stone of a memorial to Samuel Seabury, first Episcopal bishop in the United States. Assailing the persecution of religions by dicta- torships, Kennedy called on the people of the United States and Great Britain to hold fast to reli- gious liberty and other rights of the individual which distinguish democracies from other forms of government. Pointing out that in certain parts of the world the profession and practice of religion is being called a political of- fense," the American envoy said "men and women are being thrown out of the land of their nativity because they profess a certain religion which political authorities have decided to up- root." "Indeed, many who do not pro- fess the forbidden religion, but whose ancestors did, are being treated with equal rigor. Other religions likewise are threatened. The church, in order to be al- lowed to exist, is forced to take its place at part of the political or worldly organization of the states. It cannot teach what it be- lieves to be the word of God. but rather what the authorities of the state decide it should impart in the interest of national discipline, national psychology, racial soli- darity or other political aims."
