Brief talks were delivered at
the opening meeting by Bernard
Isaacs, Louis Robinson, Harry
Cohen, A. J. Lachover and Rabbi
M. J. Wohlgelernter.
A unique feature of the eve-
ning was the presentation of a
beautifully framed scholarship
certificate to Nathan Yaffa in
appreciation and recognition of
the many and varied invaluable
services rendered by Mr. Yaffa
to the United Hebrew Schools.
Harry Cohen, who presented
this certificate to Mr. Yaffa in
the name of the schools, pointed
to the fact that Mr. Yaffa is
not only an ardent and loyal
worker for the schools, but gives
much of his time to the work
of the Jewish Welfare Federation
during the campaign period and
to many other Jewish causes.

The Membership
Enrollment Work

By RUDOLPH ZUIEBACK
Chairman, Membership Enroll-
ment Committee

The membership enrollment,
which has become an annual pro-
ject of the United Hebrew
Schools, and of which I have been
chairman for the last two years,
has a two-fold purpose, that of
fund raising, and of acquainting
the Jewish people of Detroit with
the scope of the work of the
United Hebrew Schools. It is dur-
ing this brief membership enroll-
ment that the solicitors conic in
close contact with men and wo-
men who may not be fully ac-
quainted with the system of
schools known as the United He-
brew Schools of Detroit. Here
the solicitors have an opportun-
ity' to 'talk about Jewish educa-
tion in general, and about the
achievements of the United He-
brew Schools of Detroit in par-
ticular, and thus bring the prob-
lem of Jewish education closer
to the people.
It is important not only to have
a membership, but to have a well
informed membership — members
who know what we stand for;
members who are fully attached
to our educational institution and
develop a sense for the need of
Jewish culture. It is such a mem-
bership which will 'actually con-
stitute a bulwark of strength for
the school and will become a
great factor in the development
and advancement of Jewish edu-
cation in this city.

COLONIZATION

(Continued from Page 1)

and Palestine would be the two
magnets. Large-scale settlement
in America he saw as further
enlarging the scope of anti-Semi-
tism. In offering the program
for the settlement of 1,000,000
Jews in the Jewish Homeland in
a decade, Mr. Sieff submitted a
three-point program involving
(1) a revision of the Balfour
Declaration and the Palestine
Mandate to give identity to the
Jewish National Home as an in-
dependent unit; (2) transplanta-
tion of large sections of the Arab
population of Palestine to other
parts of the Middle East in a
project that would meet the needs
and interests of the Arabs, and
(3) the redrafting of the present
geographic boundaries of Pales-
tine to include Transjordan.

The new political document
that would have to replace the
Declaration, which has "too
many loopholes used by those
hostile to a Jewish Palestine,"
Mr. Sieff said, would "have
to take account of the large
Arab territorities, the plan for
the transplanting of Palestin-
ian Arabs to Iraq and other
territories, giving the right to
those Palestinian Arabs who 3o
desire to live in a Jewish au-
tonomous area and also lay
down clearly and unmistakably
the right of the Jews to live
in freedom in Palestine and to
move freely to Palestine, sub-
.., ject to Jewish control."

The conference, which also
heard Sir Norman Angell and
Raoul Aglion, representative of
Free France in the United States,
adopted a resolution calling upon
President Roosevelt to direct the
Inter-governmental Committee for
Refugees "in any program for
postwar rehabilitation and settle-
ment sponsored by or in co-
operation with the United States
Government, consideration to be
given to the pre-eminent place
that Palestine has had in the
solution of the problem of Jewish
homelessness."
