Irgun Zvai Launch Campaign Against Inquiry Committee's
Proposal, Pronouncing It 'the Death Sentence on
Jewish Aspirations in Palestine'
More than two hundred and fifty volunteer workers at-
tending the first workers' report meeting of the Women's
Division of the Allied Jewish Campaign, Monday at the
Jewish Community Center, were thrilled to learn that through
their efforts, to date, $238,000 had been contributed by the
Jewish women of Detroit for overseas relief.
Following the invocation, delivered by Mrs. Alexander
Sanders, Mrs. Robert J. Newman, chairman, called for volun-
teers to accept previously assigned prospect slips. She also
announced that a second report luncheon will be held this
Friday (May 10), and that a victory luncheon has been
planned for Wednesday, May 15.
Reports were given by the area chairmen, Mrs. Samuel -
Aaron, Mrs. John C. Hopp, and Mrs. Julian Zemon, and by
Mrs. Maurice Klein, who reported for the committee on
treasury gifts.
Principal speakers of the afternoon were Capt. Sidney
Mossman and Mrs. Dora Ehrlich, president of the Women's
Division of the Jewish Welfare Federation.

More Jews in Agriculture
Urged by Henry A. Wallace
Secretary of Commerce Expresses Confidence in Jordan
Valley Authority Proposal; Hopes Jewish Progress in
Farming Will Not Be Limited to the Near East
Wants 20 Per Cent Farmers
He pointed out, however, that
"I have never been able to see
any reason • why outstanding
Jewish agricultural exploits
should be confined to the Near
East. To me there is something
peculiarly appropriate about the
Jews making an equal success on
the land here in the United
States." Since about 20 percent
of the American people make
their living on the land, Secre-
tary Wallace advocated that the
same percentage of the Jewish
population take up farming.
Recalling that in Biblical days
the Jews were an agricultural
people and that many of their
prophets were "farm people—
speaking out against the evils of
the cities," he added that agri-
culture furnished a "fulsome op-
portunity" for the exercise of the
scientific genius demonstrated
by Jews in other fields.
Hails National Farm School
"Hopefully, I look forward to
the day when there will be as
many Jewish scientists in agri-
culture as there have been in the
developnient of atomic energy,"
he continued. "The contribution
of Jewish scientists to the devel-
opment of atomic energy is one
of the greatest epics of all sci-
entific history."

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Express-
ing v eh em en t disagreement
with those who say, "for either
curious or questionable reasons,"
that Jews are inherently not
adapted to agriculture, Secretary
of Commerce Henry A. Wallace
said that "when a higher per-

be all the healthier."
Mr. Wallace, in an address to
the 50th anniversary banquet of
the National Farm School at Ho-
tel Waldorf-Astoria, praised Jew-
ish agricultural accomplishments
in the Middle East, and declared
that he was "convinced of the
wisdom of a Jordan Valley Au-

of southern Palestine and Trans-

Arabs on an equal basis." He
recalled that when he was Sec-
retary of Agriculture he had
something to do with the mission

father of the Jordan Valley plan.
