Emil Feisal, son of King Ibn Saud of
Arabia, and his brother, Arnir Khalid, are
guests of the President and are staying at
Blair House, in Washington, reserved for
the Government's distinguished guests.
Hafiz Wabba, Saudian Minister to London,
accompanied the two Arab princes, who
were honored at state dinners given by
President Roosevelt and Secretary of
State Hull.
In a message addressed to the 33rd an-
nual conference of the National Urban
League, President Roosevelt declared that
race strife destroys national unity, reduces
war production and renders the U. S. A.
"suspect abroad." He warned that we
"cannot stand before the world as a cham-
pion of oppressed peoples unless we prac-
tice as well as preach the principles of
democracy for all men."
A Day of Intercession, dedicated to "the
task of eradicating anti-Semitism and
thereby offering more than mere passive
tolerance to our Jewish brethren" will be
observed by 6,000 Christian churches
throughout the United States, it was an-
nounced in New York at an extraordinary
session of the Emergency Committee to
Save the Jewish People of Europe. A
Week of Compassion will commence with
the Day of Intercession, which falls on
Sunday, Oct. 10, the day following Yom
Kippur.
The Christian Council on Palestine, in a
New Year message to American Jewry,
pledged to strive to find an "equitable
solution" for the_problem of the homeless
Jewish refugees, to "stem the tide of anti-
Semitism" and to continue in "the strug-
gle for a homeland in Palestine." Voicing

At Shaarey Zedek
its "oneness with the Jewish people in all
their aspirations," the message declared
that the achievement of its goals repre-
tents "partial payment" of the "enormous
debt we owe for the priceless contribution
of Judaism to our Christian heritage."
OVERSEAS
One of the first official acts of General
Kurt Daluege, who has taken over control
of Denmark from General Hermann Von
Hanneken, was to start the deportation of
6,000 Jews to Poland, according to the
Stockholm Allehanda. King Christian of
Denmark is said categorically to have re-
fused to countenance the execution of
these orders, which are understood to have
originated with Hitler himself.
The recent municipal elections in French
North. Africa placed many Jews in public
office. The Jewish community in Casa-
blanca increased its representation on the
municipal council from two to six coun-
cilmen. At Rabat, Jewish representation
was increased from two to four, and simi-
lar increases are reported to have occurred
in other cities in Morocco and Algeria.
El Espanel, Spanish fascist organ pub-
lished in Madrid, in a violet attack on the
Bnai Brith, characterized that' organiza-
tion as "the Jewish general staff which
aims to destroy all the non-Jewish nations
of the world." -
The Rumanian gOvernment has reduced
the meat rations for Jews to half a kilo-
gram per week, which represents half the
ration allotted to non-Jews.
The Croat puppet government set up
by the Nazis in Slovenia and Dalmatia,
where Croat soldiers have replaced Italian
troops, is now enforcing anti-Jewish
measures.

Bnai Brith's Centennial
Monsky Sounds Call
For Service and Unity-
By HENRY MONSKY
President of Bnai Brith
A century ago, an immigrant JeW, with rare vision and
understanding, conceived the idea of something entirely new
inJewry—a Jewish service organization with a program
broad - enough to embrace all aspects of Jewish life and de-
igned to win the adhesion of all elements in the Jewish
Community; •
That man was Henry Jones.
and his creation was the Bnai
Brith.
The striking growth of Bnai
Brith, the many and varied vital
causes- it 'serves, its record of
achievement and its role in the
drama• of American Jewish his-.
tory testify to the wisdom of
Henry Jones and his confereres
and to the consecrated service
with which their heirS carried
on the tradition established hi
1843.
A Dynamic Progrant
Though rooted in a fundamen-
tal policy—service to the Jewish
people and to the community-
Bnai Brith has been flexible
enough to make its program con-
form to the changing needs of
the times.
Because of this unfettered ap-
proach, Bnai Brith's program re-
mains as dynamic as the world
in which we live..
Committed from its inception
to the unification of Israel in the
promotion of its highest inter-
ests and those of 'humanity, Bnai
Brith has been untouched by
generations of factionalism and
dissension in Jewish life, Kept
free • from doctrinal differences,
Bnai Brith remains the common
platform for service on the part
of all elements in the Jewish
community concerned with the
positive values in JeWish life,
Celebration Postponed
We had looked forward to the
observance of. Bnai Brith's cen-
tennial not for the purpose of
self -; aggrandizement but rather
to make this landmark in Jew-
ish history an occasion for re-
affirming the ideals . for which
Bnai Brith has stood for 100
years. But these are times when
even such historic events must
be postponed for the times call
for the mobilization of all our
resources to bring closer the in-
evitable day of victory.
Today, as throughout its his-
tory, Briai Brith is the ally of
freedom and juitice. To their
preservation we have conse-
crated ourselves. To their tri-
umph we have given tens of
thousands of our sons and broth-
ers and fathers who on every
fighting front are covering them-
selves with glory. To their cer-
tain -victory we are giving blood ;
toil and treasure.
On the home front Bnai Brith
is doing everything in its power

Geared to War NeedS
It is a matter of great pride to
know that Bnai Brith's whole
program has been geared effec-
tively to wartime needs and
services.
From one end of the nation to
the other, in Canada, in Great
Britain, in Palestine and in the
republics of South and Central
America, Bnai Brith, in its cen-
tennial year, is manifesting anew_
its faith in the supremacy of the
ideals for which the United Na-
tions are fighting, ideals which
have motivated Bnai Brith since
its inception.
When the peace comes, Bnai
Brith, dynamic as ever, will have
an even greater role. To the
men, women and young people
of Bnai Brith, at home and
abroad, in the armed forces and
in the civilian ranks, I say:
May the centennial year of
Bnai Brith be the - year that
brings the peace which will jus-
tify all the suffering and misery
which have for so long beset a
harassed humanity.
Hilda Burke to Sing
Here in "Faust," Oct. 18
Baltimore, as cities go in
America,. is one of the most no-
table music towns, what with the
guiding light of the Peabody
Conservatory, which has given
this country some of its leading
musicians. It is from this en-
vironment, and more specifically
from the tutelage of the late
George Castello, that Opera has
drawn one of its best American
singers, Hilda Burke.
Miss Burke has been chosen to
play Marguerite in the Charles L.
Wagner production of "Faust" to
be given at the Masonic Audi-
torium. on Monday evening, Oct.
18. Tickets are now on sale at
Grinnell Bros. Music Store.
