waste lands into fertile and pro-
ductive colonies; enriched by the

not of the peasant type, yet, faced
with the alternative of "succeed
or perish," did make good—has

no special governmental permis-
sion was necessary. But on the
other hand, when I spoke in one
of the largest ramie houses on a
Sunday, and the size of the house
and the audience took on the na-
ture of a public demonstration, a
government permit had to be pro-
cured.
"What efforts are the Jews of
South America making in dealing
with the anti-Semitic situation?"
I have been asked since my re-
turn. A very fine organization
calling itself Daia was created in

On the other hand, no Jews
are wanted in the cities and the
towns. The cry is that there are
too many Jews there already!
Despite this glowing story of
government accord and co-opera-
tion there always have been evi-
dences of anti-Semitism, and it
is definitely on the increase. But,
as one of the Jewish leaders put
it to me: "The Jewish question
as such has not yet been brought
out into the open; it is not yet on
the agenda for open discussion—
it is still debated and disposed of
in the dark."
I had a rare experience while
visiting Cordoba. A meeting with
the governor of that entire dis-
trict was arranged for me. He
was very gracious; he greeted
me most cordially and with pro-
fuse compliments. He commended
me on my work for the Jewish
people and for Palestine. And
then he told me that the trouble
with the Jew is that he doesn't
assimilate! When I asked him
what he meant by "assimilate,"
whether or not he considered the
Jew a loyal citizen, he said : "Oh,
yes, the Jew is loyal all right,
but he must give up being a Jew;
he must take on the religion of
his land—that is assimilation!"

Press and Organizations

Proportionate to the size of the
community, the Argentine Jewish
press is the finest I have come
across anywhere. There are a
number of Yiddish papers, as well
as the German-Jewish and Span-
ish-Jewish press. Because of these
fine organs for the dissemination
of Jewish news from all over the
world, I found a particularly
alive, well-informed Jewish com-
munity. There are several magni-
ficent synagogues and a number
of well-managed organizations,
not the least of which are the
Zionist groups of men and wo-
men, as well as of the youth of
the city.
Spanish is the national language,
yet the use of Yiddish is wide-
spread, as is German among the
recent arrivals. Hebrew, too, is
studied and spoken quite a bit.
Just as the press is free, so, too,
are public meetings up to a cer-
tain point. While I addressed
scores of well-publicized public
meetings with audiences ranging
from one hundred to over a thou-
sand each, at which meetings 1
spoke either Yiddish or German
(or even English in one instance),

TO OUR READERS!

The demand for the 24-year
Hebrew English Calendar, offered
in the columns of this publication,
continues. In response to this de-
mand H. J. Heinz Co. has been
induced to print a new supply. As
usual, the calendar will be sent ab-
solutely free to all who request it.

The New Edition of the
Heinz Calendar
All dates - 1924 to 1949

This new edition takes the place
of the earlier Jewish calendar
which went only to 1941. The new
calendar goes ahead much farther
and goes back to the year 1924.
To find Yahrzeit dates, Bar
Mitzvahs and other anniversaries
is a task of a few moments with
this convenient book at hand.
Jewish holidays up to the year 1965
are also listed on a special page.
To receive a free copy of the
new calendar, merely send a post-
card or a letter to:

"Peoples' Committee"
Again Hits Hitler

Jewish Center Summer
Membership Offer
Ends July 31

NEW YORK (JPS) — The
Jewish People's Committee, organ-
ized by Communists to use Jews
for political purposes, is back
again among the denouncers of
Adolf Hitler as a result of the
flip-flop following the Nazi inva-
sion of Russia. Having been ra-
ther silent on Hitler's crimes
since the Soviet-Nazi pact, the
Committee has issued a state-
ment calling for "full aid to the
Soviet Union, Great Britain and
to all who are engaged in the
struggle to defeat Hitlerism."

Only three weeks remain for
the special summer membership
plan offered by the Jewish Com-
munity Center, Woodward at Hol-
brook, until July 31. The plan
allows for an individual to be-
come a Center member during the
rummer for a period of three
months, from the date of joining,
at a special reduced rate. All of
the privileges of the health edu-
cation department, which includes
swimming and gym, along with
the social and educational activi-
ties, are open to summer members.
The rates are as follows: Adults
(26 and over) $6; seniors (male
21-25, female 18 and over) $4;
sub-seniors (male 18-20, female
16-17) $3; intermediates (male
14-17, female 14-15) $2; juniors
(under 14) $2. At the end of
the summer season, members may
continue their memberships for
the balance of the year by paying
the difference between a summer
and a yearly membership.
The swimming schedule has been
arranged so that during the hot
summer months, members will be
able to take full advantage of its
refreshing and cooling waters.
Mixed swims have been set for
Sundays, 3-4:30 p. m. and Thurs-
days 8-10 p. in. A Florida atmos-
phere in the pool helps make
these social swims one of the
highlights of the summer pro-
gram.
Dancing will also be enjoyed
during the summer months, free
cf charge to Center members
every Wednesday evening. Music
as played by the nation's leading
orchestras provides the rhythm
for dancing. Tennis instruction,
music appreciation, life saving,
library services, ping pong, pool
and photography are a few of
the other activities which are
open to summer members.
Further information about rates
or activities may be obtained by
calling the Center, MA. 8400.
