sisting them in their adjustment,
through providing them with so-
cial and educational opportuni-
ties, through training for citizen-
ship, and by furnishing them with
a sympathetic medium for ab-
sorbing our language, customs
and manner of living, and, lastly,
service to the community, through
providing a forum for the ex-
position of community problems,
and a meeting place for commu-
nity activities.
Mr. Weil is a member at large
of the National Council of Boy
Scouts of America, a trustee of
the Federation for the Support
of Jewish Philanthropic Socie-
ties of the City of New York,
trustee and chairman of the Re-
ligious School Committee of Tem-
ple Emanu-El, a director of the
Jewish Education Committee of
New York, a director of the New
York Vocational Adjustment Bu-,
reau, director of the National.
Refugee Service, and prominent
in a number of other welfare and
social organizations. He is a
member of the law firm of Weil,
Gotshal & Mangos, an active
member on the Committee on the
Supreme Court of the New York
County Lawyers Association.
Since 1935 he has been an em-
ployer representative on the New
York Unemployment Insurance
State Advisory Council, by ap-
pointment of Governor Lerman.
Particular interest is attached
to Mr. Weil's election as presi-
dent of the Jewish Welfare
Board, since Mr. Weil considers
himself a product of the Jewish
Center movement, joining the
92nd Street New York City Y.
M. H. A. in his early youth, and
never relinquishing his interest
in the organization, of which he
rose to be president in 1932.
Until his election as head of
the Jewish Welfare Board, Mr.
Weil was chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee and president of
the New York Metropolitan Sec-
tion of the Board.
Conference Session s
The opening sessions of the
conference on Saturday were de-
voted to round-table discussions,
with Nathan A. Heller as chair-
man, on these subjects: 'The
Jewish Center in Service to Refu-
gees," "Youth in the Jewish Cen-
ter—in the Community," "Com-
munity Organization," and "Vo-
cational Guidance." Chairmen of
the various sessions were: Albert
H. Lieberman of Philadelphia,
Aaron Lesser of Newark, Eman-
uel Schwartz of Mt. Vernon and
Prof. Albert Abrahamson of New
York City. Dr. Horace M. Kallen
of the New School of Social Re-
search addressed the conference.
On Sunday morning, summaries
of the results of these discussions
were preented to the general
membership, and reports of the
officers of the organizations were
read. Tribute was paid to the
late Cyrus Adler, who was chair-
man of the Board's Army and
Navy Committee.
At the afternoon session, Dr.
WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE
THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN Yet Devised
An investment of less than $10 a month
(THIS AMOUNT INCRIASIS WITH A01)
AND YOU IMMEDIATELY CREATE AN
ESTATE OF $5,000.00.
11-1 0 use a popular phrase—this plan
has everything. Every wise and
far-seeing young man knows he needs
some Life Insurance—but the what?
where? how? baffles him and he may
drift (or just come to be "sold" some
Insurance without plan or balance).
But here is an all embracing Policy
—a DOMINION LIFE Plan—that pro-
vides him with so much—so simply
and so economically—that it is the
most popular of all the various Policies
issued by Dominion Life. It possesses
a good name, too, THE DOMINION
SECURITY POLICY.
This is what ONE unit will provide—
(1) A $5,000 CHEQUE TO YOUR
DEPENDENTS if you die—or a
regular monthly cheque for many
many years ($25 a month for
22 years and 10 months).
(2) A PENSION FOR YOURSELF
of $25 a month starting at age
65. This income is guaranteed
for 10 years even if you don't
live, and for life if you do.

Recently reprinted 11 a ne w
edition, "Zionism" by Leonard
Stein is available from • he Zion.
ist Organization of Grc, • Britain
at 77 Great Russell St., London.
Containing a complete ..,,cussion
of the Balfour Declara , •on and
the numerous Jewish nal ional ef-
forts that precede it, M r. Stein's
book also offers an interesting
history of Palestine and the ac.
tivities in the land under the
Mandate.
Concise, compressed into 200
pages, this history is at the same
time quite complete. The aver-
age reader who has not had oc-
casion to peruse Pinsker's "Auto-
Emancipation" and Hess' "Rome
and Jerusalem" will get a fair
idea of the view of both from
Mr. Stein's work. It is natural,
of course, that the views and
ideals of other Herzlian prede-
cessors as well as followers
should be well defined. Further-
more, the volume is valuable as
a statistical work, since it has
several tables presenting facts
regarding immigration and fi-
nances in Palestine.
The history of the Balfour
Declaration, the manner in which
it was received and other gov-
ernments' aid secured for it, is
the text of the splendid chapter
on the Declaration. If it were
for this chapter alone, this book
would be worth all the effort ex-
pended on it and all the money
asked for it.
Leonard Stein's "Zionism" is
the best book on the subject and
should be in the hands of all
Jews.
Church Council Condemns
"Christian Front"
CINCINNATI (Religious News
Service)—In a resolution adopted
here by its executive committee,
the Greater Cincinnati Council of
Churches stated that "inasmuch
as an organization known as the
'Christian Front' has been ac-
tive in spreading racial and reli-
gious prejudice," it felt it its
duty to counsel Protestant clergy
and laity to counteract "such de-
structive influence" in every way
possible.
A. L. Sachar, national director
of the Bnai Brith Hillel Founda-
tions, addressed the conference
on the subject of "Challenges
for Jewish Living," and Dr. E.
George Payne, dean of the New
York University School of Edu-
cation, spoke on "Some Chal-
lenges to the American Way of
Living."
