A Success Story:
How Louis Borgenicht Made
His Mark in This Country
Louis Borgenicht came to this
country as a poor immigrant lad
from Galicia. He had the exper-
iences of the average settler,
struggling for a living, made
good, raised his family, and is
now a recognized leader in the
children's wear industry and an
important factor in communal
institutions.
The story of Louis Borgenicht,
as he related it to Harold Fried-
man, is incorporated in the Put-
nam-published book, "The Hap-
piest Man: The Life of. Louis
Borgenicht."
Mr. Friedman has rendered an
excellent literary service with
the story he has compiled from
the word-of-mouth tales of Mr.
Borgenicht. It is more than a
success story: it is the tale of a
man brought up in utter poverty
who has proven the worth of
America's opportunities to immi-
grants.
The story, furthermore, is
really the history of a generation,
since Mr. Borgenicht tells of the
part he has played in numerous
movements that were made
necessary by the European perse-
cutions. He is a supporter of all
causes that bring relief for Jew-
ish sufferers, including Palestine.

Jewish Telegraphic Agency
VIENNA—It would be highly desirable for Jews
to be, represented as such in the League of Nations
Union, it was stated here by Sir Willoughby Dickin"-
son, chairman of the minorities commission of: the
League of Naticins. Such representation would be
invaluable in safeguarding the rights of Jews
throughout the world, he stressed. The minorities
commission, he said,. is aware of the oppressive acts
against Jews in various parts of the world and will
do all in its power to stop them. '
BERLIN—Max Reinhardt, noted theater manager,
who became famous for his productions of Shakes-
peare in Berlin, is building a - new theater which
will surpass all other Berlin theaters in luxury.
This will be the fourth theater to be built in this
city by Mr. Reinhardt.
LONDON—The annual report of the Palestine
Administration for 1922 reveals that there was con-
siderable expansion in the economic and labor
spheres during the past year. Despite :the economic
depression several important commercial enterprises
were launched and there was wide building activity
which helped to take up some of the slack in em-
ployment. While there was much !'political dis-
cussion" during the year, there was no violence, the
report points out. It states that the principal event
of the year affecting Palestine was the approval of
the British Mandate by the League of Nations.
Funeral services were held here for Abilio

LONDON—Speaking in the House of Lords, the
Duke of Devonshire, colonial secretary, declared that
the government had every intention of giving full
support to Sir Herbert Samuel, High Corrimissioner
for Palestine, according to the instructions of the
Mandate, since the mandate was an international
obligatimi and the Balfour Declaration was the basis
on which it was accepted by the Allied powers. The
Duke of Devonshire's statement came in reply to an
attack on the government's policy in Palestine by
Lord Islington who charged that the Arabs would
never accept a "Zionist system of government."
VIENNA—The Vienna Morning Journal contains
a report that the Soviet has ordered the Jewish
Commissariate revived. This action, the paper says,
is to be a part of a comprehensive plan to develop a
council of nationalities.
