PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
FOR ARMISTICE DAY
The planning of a program for the coming year was the main topic dis¬ cussed at a meeting of Ohio<State Meno¬ rah last Sunday afternoon. About sixty members attended the ineeting, which was devoted entirely to business.
.'\ccording to present plans of the program committee . headed by Miss Dora Sneiderman, lectures and discus¬ sions, study circles, debates, plays and concerts of Jewish music will fdl out the year. A patriotic afternoon (s be¬ ing planned for Sunday, November 11, Armistice Day^

NEW YORK. —Before an audience tifat filled every seat of Carnegie Hall Israel Zangwill gave what he described as an "airplane view" of the Jewish situation. .'
The climax of the speech came.when Mr. Zangwill contended that "political Zionism is dead. The'proudest will," he said, "must sometimes acknowledge honorable defeat. When King David's child was sick he fasted and lay upon the ground, but when the child died .he arose and washed and anointed himself. I see no saner policy for political Zion¬ ism, now finally bereaved of its hope."
In the earlier afternoon session, Rabbi Wise in introducing Mr. Zangwill warned that Mr. Zangwill "might say some things to which it will not be pos¬ sible for this meciting to give unquali¬ fied assent. "~"Mr;' Zangwill speaks not, for the American Jewish Congress but to the American Jewish Congress. He speaks not for Israel but for Israel Zangwill."   '
Message' From Cooiidge
Rabbi Wise during the course of'the evening also presented a message from President Cooiidge expressing general sympathy with the aims of'the Congress. Thei message follows:
"The President of the Uiiited States in the course of a visit by Rabbi Wise of the Central and Free Synagogue of New 'Vork and Chairman of the Execu¬ tive Committee of the American Jewish Congress, in session October 14-16, New 'York, expressed himself as being in sym¬ pathy with the general aims and _pur- poses of the American Jewish" Congress which is to meet in New York Sitnday afternoon. '     ' '     '     .
"American Jews are justified in seek; ing' to safeguard the rights of their, brother Jews in all lands in which these may be in any Way imperilled; and tht more because the Jc.w in this country 'i*
TOLD TO GO TO "SCHULE" MAN SHOOTS BROTHERS
¦" M"fT''Kieser's remarks were kindly re¬ ceived. He was applauded wheii he asserted that among other tilings the B'nai B'ritli produced good speakers. This assertion was in re ference to the fine address of welcome delivered by President. Zeckhauser. In a few well- chosen words, Mr. Rieser then intro- ' duced the governor, who received a -thrilling ovation from the audience. The governor expressed his pleasure at being invited to this affair and de¬ clared that he felt very much at,- home among Jewish people. In his address which dealt with some of the more im¬ portant problems of his olTice, he de¬ plored the existence of too many laws on the statute books, and he laid the blame for this condition on the indiffer¬ ent and careless voters. He urged the people to take their government more seriously if they desired to improve it. The governor then dwelt at some length on the fine work being done by 'W^arden Thomas at the Ohio State Peniteiitiary in promoting the honor system in the largest penitentiary in the world.
"My whole-hearted co-operation with every progressive act of the great¬ hearted warden has been evidenced since my entrance into the governor's office. I would rather be responsible for the restoration to usefulness and manhood ' of ten of these men," pointing to the four members of the quartet, "than be elected governor five hundred times."
The governor in his talk outlined the functions and  conduct  of  various  de¬ partments.     "The   most   important   of {Concluded on Page 4)

-; "When told that it is felt in Jewish circles that immigration restrictions bear ^specially upon the Jews, and that in some East European countries would-be .fewish immigrants to America are not ¦¦fairly dealt with by our consular repre- .senlatives, the President stated:
I
;,,"'This Administration wilt continue ^o refuse sanction and tolerance to any anti-Jewish discrimination in the matter 'f»f immigration, or in any other matter.' ".,¦ "He felt sure that a careful investiga¬ tion, if needed, would reveal that these ao-called discriminations were unreal.
Godspeed  to   Congress
'¦.."In closing, the President earnestly ¦wished Godspeed to the American Jew¬ ish Congress, under the leadership of one of the best of Americans) Nathan •Straus, in seeking to lift the Jewish peo- i^les of all lands to a level of equality 'of status, which is the deserved lot of the loyal and patriotic American Jew." ' Mr. Zangwill characterized his speech as "the greatest labor of his life." Af- iter considerable discussion of the rights of, the American Jews to be represented 'in a Congress, Zangwill warned the East ;Slde of New York' that it could not ex¬ pect to survive without a burning reli- ^^gtpus faith.

ELECTS STEPHEN S. WISE PRESIDENT
- NEW YORK. —A demand that Britain live up itv full measure to all the terms of the Mandate under the League of Nations for the upbuilding of Palestine was voiced by the Ameri¬ can' Jewish Congress in a resolution adopted at the closing session.
The adoption of the resolution is in harmony with the suggestion made by Mr, Zangwill in his address before the Congress in which he severely arraigned Britain for the manner in which it was executing the Mandate.
Mr. ZangwiU'also assisted in the fram¬ ing of the resolution which was unani¬ mously adopted.
The resolution demands a more liberal immigration policy for Palestine, points out to Great Britain' that much more .money would flow into the Keren Hayc- 'sod if it became perfectly clear that a genuine Jewish national home was being established, and calls upon the govern¬ ment |o delay no longer the Palestine national loan.
'(-Taking grateful note," says 'the reso¬ lution, "of the magnanimous methods of President Cooiidge to the American Jey^lsh Congress through Dr. Stephen S. /Wise, expressing his sympathy with tha policy of upbuilding in Palestine the Jswish national home:; / '    ' ¦   ¦ ¦ .. . . ¦      .
.   Asks Action Be Hastened
"Taking note also of the resolutions of the recent Zionist World Congress at Carlsbad, stating that Jewish emigration to Palestine is too severely restricted and demanding that the administration of Palestine shall carry out the obligation assumed under the mandate which pro- vidies that it ahall encourage in co¬ operation with the Jewish agency, close settlement by Jews on the land, includ¬ ing State land and waste land not re¬ quired for public purposes, and if there has been discrimination against Jewish schools in the matter of subsidization;
"This congress, with full recognition of the difficulties which hamper the noble task undertaken by the British Government, respectfully and gratefully asks it to do all that is possible to remedy the grievances expressed by the Carlsbad congress.
"The American Jewish Congress is convinced that far larger sums will be poured into Palestine by Jews, both on a philanthropic^basis, through the Keren Hayesod, and by way of other organ¬ ized social and economic enterprises as soon as it will become clear that a Jewish national home will ultimately come into being in the Holy Land. The congress asks the Palestine Govern¬ ment no longer to delay the issue of its projected loan for the development of the resources of the country — a loan which, it is sure, will be generously taken up by the Jews of the world as soon as it is clear that the Jewish na¬ tional home will profit by it no less than the rest of Palestine.
"At the same tin]e the congress ex¬ presses to the Arabs its eaniest desire fo]r peace and good-will and brotherly cooperation in rebuilding for civilization the ruined, neglected, half-empty, yet supremely historical land which both races inhabit. It asks them to recog¬ nize that for more than 1,850 years thg dreams and hopes and prayers of thi: Jewish people have been centered uppn this land, an(} that the return of lafge number^ of Jews to it would bring a blessing to alt its inhabitants and w(|ild build a bridge of mutual understanding between the East and West. i
"We furtlier trust tliat the Arabs ^of Palestine will meet their Jewish kinsme\ in a fraternal spirit, and will recognize' the spirit of the Balfour declaration so that'all sections of the population sfhall enjoy freedom together with a prospect (ConHnwd on page 6)
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — Warning that the Ku Klux Klan is rooted in Har¬ vard University and that the organiza¬ tion membership is spreading among students is contained in an article pub¬ lished in the issue of the Harvard Crimson, undergradua,te daily, that ap¬ peared today. The Klan, according to the Harvard organ is steadily growing more powerful and is waiting only for the favorable moment to show its streng^th.
Referring to the Klan's reaction tp Harvard's final, stand against racial dis¬ crimination following the numerus clausus proposal of its president, the Crimson says:
university last year, in decreeing the policy of non-discrimination, tended to increase Klan membership is an open question. The plank in the Klan's na¬ tional platform bearing on the subjept is well known, and what part of it the Harvard branch stands for may be only a question of degree. But it is certain that, the decision of last spring was a signal for violent demonstrations in meetings of the Harvard Klan. Yet, in the final test, the decision -was reached to attempt no active participation in the domestic issues of the university.
"Such policy has apparently been pur¬ sued during the first few weeks of col¬ lege. -.The Klan, as such, has not inter¬ fered' with social or religious organiza¬ tions and the Harvard public, lulled possibly into a false sense of security, has wondered at the apparent inactivity.
"Like all organizations, the Klan has sought for a representative Harvard membership. While few prominent un¬ dergraduates have openly declared their allegiance, yet, from the very nature of the organization, it is impossible to tell what man's friends or acquaintances may belong or may be aspiring to mem¬ bership.
KLANSMEN EXPELLED FROM ATLANTIC CITY ELKS LODGE
ATLANTIC CITY, 'N. J. - Elks of this city announce that the action of Atlantic City Lodge, No. 276, in voting to expel members who are also members of the Klan, is the' forerunner of a na¬ tional Elks' campaign against the Klan. While J. G. McFarland, grand'exalted ruler of the Elks, denies knowledge of any such plan, it is reported here that Eugene G. Schwinghammer, exalted ruler of the Atlantic City Lodge, is pre¬ paring to introduce at the annual Grand Lodge convention in Boston next June a resolution similar to that adopted here!, which would make the campaign a na¬ tional one.
NEW YORK. —To emphasize the Jewish ideal of pcice, the national com¬ mittee direi;ting the million-dollar en- do\vrmcnt fund campaign for the Jewish Theological Seminary have fixed the date of the opening of this effort, for Armistice Day, Sunday, Nov. 11. Rabbi Max Drob, chairman of the campaign, has issued an announcement that hun¬ dreds of local committees are actively engaged in preparations to launch their campaigns on that'date.
To emphasize the relationship of this campaign with Armistice Day, the litera¬ ture that issues from national head¬ quarters will have in a conspicuous posi¬ tion the phrase "Sholom rob L'ohave Torasecho"—Great peace have they who love Thy Torah.
Itineraries are being arranged for a "flying squadron" of rabbis and proml- acnt laymen who will tour the country m an effort to arouse American Jewry to a maximum response to the semi¬ nary's appeal. In addition' to many graduates of that institution who have volunteered as members of the "flying squad," it will include Dr. Nathan Krass, - rabbi of Temple Emanu-EI, New York. Tours have already been arranged for Rabbi Hdrman Abramowitz, Montreal; Rabbi M. M. Eichler, Buffalo; Rabbi C. Hillel Kauvar, Denver, and Rabbi Jacob Kohn of Temple Ansche Chesed, New York, and Dr. Louis Ep¬ stein of Boston. Rabbi Solomon Gold¬ man of the Jewish Center, Cleveland, whose impromptu address at the ban- . quet with which the memorable confer¬ ence at the Hotel Astor, New York, ended, was an outstanding feature of that event, will be utilized as "emergency man." The task assigned to him is that of rushing to the aid of communities throughout the Middle West which may find difficulty in- arousing Ipical. cnthusj-. asm to the desired degree of responsive¬ ness.
Rabbi Abramowitz is scheduled > to speak, beginning Oct. 16, in Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Rochester, Syracuse and Utica, after which he will come to New York, where he will cooperate with the local committee, headed by Sol M. Stroock, until the end of the campaign.
Dr. Jacob Kohn began his speaking tour in Neviriark on Oct. 19, and his itin¬ erary includes Atlantic City, Philadel¬ phia, Reading, .Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, Charleston, W. Va., Balti¬ more and Washington, D. C. Dr. Krass will visit Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and ' Chicago. Dr. Eichler will cover New England, including in his tour New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Worces¬ ter, Providence and Boston. Dr. Kauvar has been assigned to the Middle Western states, concentrating in Chicago, and in¬ cluding Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwau¬ kee, Kansas City and Omaha. Dr. Louis Epstein has also been assigned to Chi¬ cago.
