BRITISH LEADER
ON WAY TO U. S.
Will Speak in Behalf of
United Jewish
Appeal
Dear Mr. Goldman:
Lavy Bakstansky, general sec-
retary of the Zionist Federation
of Great Britain, who has been
an outstanding leader in British
Jewry's effort to provide for the
continued upbuilding of Pales-
tine and for the survival of Jews
throughout Europe during the
present war, has left London
to visit the United States. While
in this country, he is scheduled
to address campaign meetings in
behalf of the $25,000,000 war
emergency campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal for Refu-
gees, Overseas Needs and Pal-
estine. Represented in the uni-
fied nationwide drive are the Joint
Distribution Committee, the Unit-
ed Palestine Appeal and the Na-
supported here by the Detroit Al-
tional Refugee Service. They are
lied Jewish Campaign.
As Joint Secretary of the
Council for German Jewry in
England since its establishment
in 1934, Mr. Basktansky was
instrumental in making possible
the emigration of 100,000 Jews
from Germany to havens in Pal-
Thousands Line Streets in Grand Ovation to Chief Rabbi estine and other parts of the
world. Mr. Bakstansky is ex-
of Palestine; Rabbi Hirsch Manischewitz

In his tour of the United
States Mr. Bakstansky will bring
to Jewish communities a first-
hand account of the most recent
developments in England and the
rest of Europe.
Mr. Bakstansky lived in Pal-
estine throughout the World War
and until 1922, when, after com-
pleting the Herzlia Gymnasium,
he came to London to pursue
his higher education. He took
the degree of LL.B. (Law) Lon-
don University, and B.Sc. (Eco-
nomics) at the same university,
School of Economics.
In 1927 he joined the staff
of the Zionist Federation of
Great Britain and Ireland and
in 1928 he was appointed gen-
eral secretary, and later secre-
tary of the Keren Hayesod. He

My attention is called to the Thirty-seventh Council
of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations which
is planning to hold its Biennial National Convention in
Detroit from April twenty-seventh to thirtieth. Please
convey my hearty greetings to the representatives of
Jewish congregations who are meeting to strengthen the
work of religion.
The world is in great need of the Word of God at
this particular time. Our civilization, whose most precious
product is democracy, is based primarily on the Law of
God and will be renewed and strengthened only by ad-
herence to that Law.
Very sincerely yours,

Hegemony of the Ignoramus", by
Dr. Jacob Klatzkin; a continua-
tion of Rav Tzair's popular series
of '"Memrios" with a portrait
of the versatile personality of
Nahum Sokolow, the scholar, the
publicist, the critic, the man of
politics, the Zionist leader; a sig-
nificant article surveying the
"History of Hebrew Typography"
by Dr. Israel Schapiro, of the
Library of Congress; a short story
by S. L. Blank "On Her Anni-
versary"; an evaluation by A.
Epstein of the late Abraham Soy-
er, the writer and the teacher;
personal "Impressions of Pales-
tine" by the well known author
Jacob Fichman. The issue ends
with a monthly analysis of con-
temporary events, book reviews
and a digest in English of the
more significant articles.
