Amer. Jewish Congress Urges Modification of The Immigration Law
Appeals to Jewish Communities to Organize Support for Amend¬ ment Designed to Eliminate Harsh Features
CHANGE IN LINE WITH COOLIDGE'S SUGGESTION
NICW YORK—Iti A statement which Bernard G. Richards, Kxecntive Secre¬ tary of the American Jewish Congress issued to every niemher of the Kxecutivc Committee of that ))ody, he called atten¬ tion to the necessity for every citizer who desires to bring about a change of those features of the present'Immigra¬ tion law which have been responsible for the needless separation of families, to register his support for a bill introduced in congress by Hon. Nathan D. Perl- man of New York, designed to remedy the  present  deplo'rai)le  situation.
Congressiqan Perhnan's bill, knowi as Legislfitive Bill H. R- o, proposes amendment to the Immigration Law permitting the wife, husband, ricd children and parents of a citizen of the United States, as well as t! husband and unmarried children under twenty-one years of age of permanent residents who have declared their in¬ tention of becoming citizens, to entei the  United  States  as  non-quota  inimi-
The provisions of this bill are in line with the sentiments expressed by Presi¬ dent Coolidge in his message to congress who in speaking of the present immi¬ gration law'said, among other things.
"The situation should, however, be carefully surveyed, in order to ascer¬ tain whether it is working a needles hardship upon our own inhabitants. I it deprives them of the comfort ant society of those bound to them by close family ties, such modifications should be adopted as will afford relief, always it accordance with the principle that oui government owes its first duty to our own people and that lio alien, inhabitant of another country, has any legal rights whatever under our Constitution and laws. It is only through treaty or through' residence here, ih.il i\\ .-iccriic. But we should not, however be forgetful of the obligatio common humanity."
Addressing himself to the representa¬ tives of the various Jewish communi¬ ties throughout the country, Mr. Rich¬ ards, in his statement, said:
"The prospects for the adoption oi Congressman Perlman's bill are ex¬ tremely I)right. It is necessary, how¬ ever, to mobilize in support of this bill which seeks to accomplish a strictly humanitarian purpose, the full force organized American Jewry. Let us not neglect this extremely favorable momcn for bringing about a liberalization of the immigration law. Action is imperative at once.
"1. Every citizen should write or telegraph to the congressman and sen¬ ator in his district, urging support of Congressman Perlman's bill, "H. R. No 5."
, "2. A public meeting should be . called in your city for the purpose ol demonstrating the sentiment of your lo¬ cality in favor of the proposed bill^ adopting suitable resolutions, etc.
"In New York, the propaganda in favor of Congressman Perlman's bil has already been begun: Signatures to petitions in favor of the bill, for sub¬ mission to congress, are being collected The Jewish press is urging its support A large mass meeting has been called for January 10th, at Carnegie Hall, which will be addressed by speakers of nationa prominence.
"Similar activities should immediately be begun in your city. The cumulative effect of this work cannot fail to carry weight with the authorities in Washr ington, and we urge you to do your share in this iniixirtant work."'

MRS. FREIDENBERG PRO¬ VIDES DELIGHTFUL PRO¬ GRAM FOR PEN INMATES
Due to the efforts of Mrs. Harty Friedenberg, the Jewish inmates of Ohi State Penitentiary, were delighted with a lovely Chanukah program last Sunday morning, Dec. l.'l.
Miss Mary Loui.se Gale, prominent in Igcal music circles, rendered a group of beautiful violin solos. A number of vocal • selections were sung by Mr Jack Goldfarb, a student at Ohio State University, accompanietl on the piano by Miss Florence Silverman. Miss Goldie Silverman gave several clever recitations and Miss Rose Thall de¬ lighted the inmates with her jazz.
A: Chanukah treat in the form of a bag of goodies was given each prisoner Mrs. B. E. Tushbant read a beautifu paper on "Chanukah as Thanksgiving.'
Playiiijf  before  packed stadia seating i

1 the  lO'-i.")  football  season goes down
to  history as  the  most  successful  to
date.    Everywhere    from    the    Pacific i
Coast to tile .-Xtlantic, from the Gulf of
:o to Maine, huge  football  arenas
found  inadequate to take care of
the hundreds of thousands that sough
admittance    to    the    college    gridiron
With only memories of the season left the attention of all interested in the gridiron game is turned to a review ol the accomplishments of 192.") footbal phiyers. This is the season of AU-Amer- All-Sectional and .\ll-What-No elevens. Last year's experiment of nam- AU-Jewish team proved so popu¬ lar that this tribute to the athletes of the Jewish faith is looked for by^,thfc thousands of Jewish fans throughi country.
Namins the All-Jewish team this year has been  a  pleasure.    Never before the  history  of   football   have  so  many Jewish boys occupied regular place the linp-nps of their college teams, has  been  a  sort of  boiling-out  process with  a keen  study  of  play throughou the  country  necessary  to  pick the  first and second best eleven players of the Jewish   faith   playing   football   in   the United States.    It was humanly impos¬ sible to  see all the great teams of the country   in   action   this   year.     Unfor¬
tunately   our   personal   obsei'vafion   h;
been   confined   to   the   more   important
games in the East.    We were fortunate
enough, however, to enlist the aid of ;
number of smart students of footliall ii le various sections of the country anc ith   their  advice   we  have  named   the
best   of   the   players   from   the   North,
South, East and West.
In   choosing   the   twenty-two   players for the first two elevens, we have named'
athletes   from   different   states,   as   far Florida and Louisiana and way
out west in Mississippi. Six states are •epresentcd on the first team, while men from sci'en liave been selected for the second team. In naming seven of the 12 pigskin w'arriors from New -York State, we will probably be confronted with the accusation of favoring the Em¬ pire State in our selections. Such criti¬ cism can readily be offset when one stops to realize that one-eighth of the tota Jewish population in the United States is huddled into New York. Another point we wish to make is that such col¬ leges as Cohmibia, N. Y. U., Cornell and Syracuse have ever been popular with the Jewish student. And then the fact remairs that each of the above elevens all first-class teams, had a number of first  string players of our  faith.
Only three of our last year's first All- Jewish team are included in our selec¬ tions this year.   Abramsou and Gross of Minnesota,    the    former    All-.'\merican {Concluded on page 5)

Darwin's Theory Correct Declares Rabbi Kornfeld]
One can infer from his addrcs Memorial 'Hall last Monday evening that Rabbi Kornfeld is a devout adherent of the Darwinian theory.
"When  I see how some i)eo|)Ie make monkeys out of themselves," he declared "then I am convinced we are descended frc^m   monkeys.   - Absolutely,   Darwii theory of evolution is correct."
The rabbi expressed the belief that i is folly to spend billions of dollars an¬ nually to prepare for what might pos¬ sibly happen, for no positive solution to prevent a world catastrophe .has a' been brought forward. A colossal army is not the right preparation, in his opin¬ ion, hut rather phy.sical training in every school in .America to develop the men

Brown's utl'.ern tour lo organise the states bc- IV the Ma.son-Dixon line for the .'!>15,- 0,01)0  United Jewi.sh campaign  began re on Sunday, December Gth, at a con¬ ference  which   for  attendance  and  en- siasm has eclipsed any gathering of kind in this part of America. )ver    100    representative    men    and men   from   Georgia,   Florida,   North I    South    Carolina    and    Tennessee greeted   the   national   chairman   of   the campaign when he entered the assembly hall of the Biltmorc Hotel in the morn- \\i, and before the day had ended the Atlantic   tier   o,f    the   Southland    had piedsed  itself  to  raise  iiil,000,000  in  a scries  of  .state  e-ampaigns  to  begin  as soon as possible after the beginning of 1.0;JG.    Georgia had accepted a quota of .•iiJOO.OOO';    Eastern    Florida    *3.->O,00O: South   Carolina    *")0,0()(l   and    Eastern Tennessee $12"t,000.    Chairmen for each of  these states   were  elected, campaign committees organized and the machinery set in motion which it is expected will produce from these states their greatest response  in .all   the  history  of  Jewish fund-raising.
"The   interest   in   the   Atlanta  confer¬ ence was not limited to the Jews alone. Leading citizens of Georgia had insisted weeks ago when the plan was first an¬ nounced  that   the  effort   must  be   one in   which   the   entire   citizenship   could participate.    Governor Clifford Walker, of  Georgia,  was  one of  the speakers. ¦ Mayor   Walter   A.   Sims,   of   Atlanta, another,  and   addresses   were   de¬ livered by Editors F. A.  Wilson LaW- of   the   Atlanta   Georgian- and Hollomon of the Atlanta Con¬ stitution, while thousands of Jews and Cliristians listened in at their receiving while   the   passionate   appeals   ito humanity   to   aid   afflicted    European Jewry .were .being delivered;
Following an invocation by Rabbi MoseS P. Jacobson, of Ashville, Ga., Mayor Sims welcomed the conference. Harold Hirsch, chairman of the confer- :, who was later elected state chair- i, bespoke the co-operation of the citizenry of his state. David A. Brown, who was -greeted ' cheers, delivered the principal ad¬ dress of the morning session. He re¬ viewed' the situation of the Jews of Europe and the frustrated hope that by this time they would be well on their way to self-support and independent of American help. He told the misery he saw with his own eyes and the hopeful outlook for the future of the thousands of Jews pioneering on the Russian - steppes. He summoned the Jews of the South to follow the road of service — the only road leading to love and hap-
Speaking of Russia, he said that the ^ back-to-the-sbil movement is not lim¬ ited to Jews in that country alone. There is a back-to-the-soil movement heading toward Palestine. Ten? of thousands of Jews are taking to agriculture, success¬ fully, there. There is a back-to-the-soil movement among Jews in this cotnitry — 75,000 Jews are successful farmers in the United States. At this rate, in the next ten years, there will be more Jewish farmers than farmers of other religions, because Jews are finding out rapidly that congested city living. is the most undesirable way of living.
