Announcement of Mr. Miller' ceptance of the acting chairmanship of the finance comniittee is contained a "letter which was sent out by Charles Shohl, president of thc union, to the presidents of congregations throughout the country.    He writes:
"I am Happy to inform you that Nathan J. Miller of New York has consented to take the acting chairman¬ ship of the committee on finance during Mr. Brown's absence. Mr. Brown has served the union with wonderful • thusiasm and success. Two hundred congregations have subscribe^ 70 per cent of the expenses of the current year. The remaining 72 congregations are still to be heard from, but it is im¬ possible ' to imagine that each will not do what it can to keep the torch of Judaism burning in America.
Half of Money Paid In
"One-half of the money thit has been subscribed has already been paid in; the remaii]'4er is now to be collected and the sums not hitherto subscribed will have to be secured between now and the end of the year.
"Mr. Miller has undertaken this work at great sacrifice to himself, be his love for the cause of Judaism and because of his regard for Mr. Brown.
"Mr. Miller has arranged his time so as to be in Cincinnati frequently to personally supervise the work,'
Mr. Miller belieyes that conditions point to a re-awakening of the Ameri¬ can Jewish spirit.
"With Europe at last on the way to industrial recovery," he said, "and with a sharply decreased demand from that quarter on the attention and resources of our so-called middle class and wealthier American Jews, I look to see here an increasing measure of interest in the development of the spiritual side of American Jewish life.
"I expect to see an idealistic policy. All through the ages the Jew has lived for his ideals and has never been afraid, when necessary, to die for his high aspirations. The wish may be father to the thought, but I expect to traditionally spiritual side of our Jew¬ ish nature assert itself, as has never been  the case  in this  country before.
"You will, of course, understand that the ¦ value and the scope of religious sentiment does not and, in the very nature of things, cannot lend itself to mathematical determination; it is a ques¬ tion of inner feeling and it is useless to ask the reason why.

K. H. National Council to be Greeted by Dr. Einstein and Sir Mond
Leading Jews of Country Being Chosen for Supreme Govern¬ ing Body of Palestine Fund
MEMORABLE MEETING
BEING PLANNED
(From Our New York Correspondent)
NEW YORIC —What promises to be one of the most memorable meetings the annals or^ymerican Jewry, owing both to the calibre t^jhe men and women who will participate nT^it^s well as to the subjects which wi^k chter into its deliberations, is now in prpcelss of prep¬ aration by the national!'herfiquarters of the American Keren Haj^sod. This is to be the annual gathering of the Keren Hayesod National Council, the supreme governing body of the Fund, the delegates to which are now being voted for by the tens of thousands of contributors in every part of the country.
One of the outstanding features of this gathering, it is now learned, will be messages of greeting from a'number of world famous personalities, Prof.. Albert Einstein and Sir Alfred Mond '==»/«d problem of
them. Dr. Einstein has recently addressed Keren Hayesod meetings in Austria and other countries and Sir Alfred Mond, despite the demands of the last British election in which he was one of the chief liberal leaders, has been Chairman of the Keren Hayesod cam¬ paign now in progress in Great Britain.

The Chicago Tribune in a cable frtrth its correspondent in Vienna broadcasted the news that Henry Morgenthau >'te- signcd because of thc criticism of j[he Greek press supposedly on account of thc alleged embezzlement of funds > by a certain Mr. Kaufman, who, as stip- poscd, was in some way connected with the Greek refugee work.
Both Mr. Morgenthau and his resigna¬ tion are of particular interest to the Jewish public. More than this, or par¬ ticular interest is the work which pro¬ ceeded Mr. Morgenthau's resignatibn. Approximately a million Greeks «rtio for many generations lived in the former Ottoman Empire in territories largely inhabited by Turks, Constituting thus a national minority were forced, ai a result of the TurHsh-Greek War and thc Subsequent Peace Treaty, to leave their homes, thus solving the ever-compli- national  minority,

It is pointed out that the Keren Hayesod being a non¬ partisan institution is in a position to have its platform accepted by Jews of all shades of belief and opinion, addition the Conference is expected take on added importance from the fact it comes close upon the historic reports which have been submitted to the League of Nations by the Govern¬ ment of Palestine and thc World Zionist Organization as the Jewish Agency for Palestjne.
In a receilt address on the forthcoming National Council meeting, Hermann Conheim, Treasurer of the Keren Haye¬ sod said:
"Of those who favor democracy in Jewish affairs, some consider it a vir¬ tue, others consider it a necessity. I am not, of course, concerned with those who consider it an evil. Wc of the Keren Hayesod have established dem¬ ocracy in the affairs of our organiza¬ tion because we consider it both a virtue and a necessity. The Keren Hayesod is the fund of the Jewish people, of the masses. Our revenue comes not from the few but the many. We believe that more revenue will come if the many take a hand in the affairs of the Fund. To this end the Keren Hayesod National Council has been established and functioning. At the same time, we be¬ lieve democracy to be one of the Jc ish virtues imbedded in the history and traditions of our people."

rofiigecs and the tremendous amount of capital required to reinstate them, Greece appealed to the League of Na¬ tions.    Thc League, usually considered
weak instrument, felt its responsi¬ bility toward the Greek refugees. A committee was appointed and Henry Morgenthau, the close friend of the rcat Woodrow Wison, thc advocate f tile right and happiness of national minorities, was appointed its chairman.

Tile Greeks in Turkey were not only formers, but merchants and small traders as well.    Land was offered but

Are the Greek refugees the only refugees hose plight reached the tribunal of the League of Nations" Is the Greek re-, settlement plan the only scheme of re¬ instating the productivity and happiness of   masses   of   uprooted   communities?

The Dearborn Independent further stated, "The shameful interference of racial organizations and the hysterical efforts to make of Captain Rosenbluth American Dreyfus were amply illus- tive of the length to which an alien type of mind will go "to neutralize the safeguards which have been set up for the people in our laws and courts."
This brought a reply from Louis Marshall in a statement issued by him to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
"Thc editorial on the Rosenbluth case published in the recent number of the Dearborn Independent is an illustra¬ tion of the disgraceful methods of that publication, under cover of which Henry Ford manifests his fanaticism. For weeks and months its columns reeked with vile falsehoods, wicked and in¬ sane imaginings, and cunningly con¬ trived appeals to passion and prejudice, ill order to compass the destruction of a fellow-being. In spite of Rosen¬ bluth's exoneration by the public au¬ thorities of the State of Washington and by the United States District Court Ford still indulges in insinuations and innuendoes against him and in reflec¬ tions upon the Jews. He is incapable of ridding that pitiable mind of his of that has taken posses-
Announces $3,000,000 Investment Corporation at Meeting of A. J. C.
Louis  Marshall  Is  the  Driving Force Behind Organization Which Will Assist in Pal¬ estinian Development
J. D. C. SUBSCRIBES
MORE THAN $450,000
NEW YORK (J. T. A.). —The launching of the $3,000,000 Palestine Investment Corporation to prom"otc Jewish colonization in Palestine was announced by Louis Marshall' at the 18th annual meeting of the American " Je\yish Committee held yesterday at thc Hotel' Astor.
More than $450,000 already has been subscribed to the stock of the proposed corporation by the Joint Distribution Committee, Mr. Marshall said, adding that there would be a merger between the Palestine Development Council and the Palestine-American Alliance. The proposed corporation will be chartered in Delaware. Mr. Marshall's announce¬ ment, received much applause by the hundred or more delegates at the meet¬ ing. According to the outline of pur¬ poses animating the new corporation it will furnish credits to establish indus¬ trial and commercial units in Palestine strictly business basis, paying rea¬ sonable rates of interest for the orig¬ inal credits and giving adequate secur¬ ity for the protection of all loans.
The plight of 8,000 Jewish emigrant refugees stranded in European ports, the catastrophic condition of the larger majority of the Jews of Russia, and the injustice of the present immigration law, were the chief subjects of discus- at the meeting of the Americaa Jewish Committee. Mr. Lewis Mar¬ shall presided and members from vari¬ ous parts of the country were in at¬ tendance.
In its Annual Report, the Executive Committee indicated that when the pres¬ ent immigration law had been passed by both Houses of Congress and was in the .hands <;>f the president, a me¬ morial had been sent to him by the Committeeman  conjunction  with  other-

"The fact that Captain Rosenbluth' friends came to his rescue, is referred t as 'the shameful interference of racial organizations.' Their efforts to pre¬ vent Ford and other enemies of Captain Rosenbluth from virtually 'railroading' him, are declared to be 'illustrative of the length to which an alien type of mind will go to neutralize the safe¬ guards which have been set up for the people in our laws and courts.' What that 'alien type of mind' did was to re¬ sort to thtfse very safeguards. The statement of the piratical publication, that it expressed no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the two accused , is belied by the disgraceful vili¬ fication which it unceasingly employed {Concluded on page 8)

the ground that it was offensive to Japan and that it was discriminatory against thc nationalities of Southern and Eastern Europe. The Report point¬ ed out further that the 8,000 Jewish now stranded in various Eu¬ ropean ports all had passports bearing the visas of American consuls and had those ports fully expecting to proceed to and be admitted into the United States. The Committee decided authorize its Executive Committee to ideavor to bring to the attention of Coijgress the deplorable condition of these refugees, with a view to secur¬ ing legislation for their relief. Referring to the economic life of the :ws of eastern Europe the commit¬ tee's report says that it is especially in Russia that the Jews are undergoing the greatest privation and distress. "With the exception of a small num¬ ber who'held government positions and a few who are industrial workers, all the Jews of Russia lack any but the most irregular employment and are an extremely | precarious exist- The committee's report also calls attention to anti-Jewish propagan- Hungary, Poland and Roumania and says that during the past year there was considerable discussion as to the origin of the Europe where anti- Semitic literature was being freely and lavishly distributed. !'In Jassy, Rou¬ mania," the report state's, "the police discovered a printing plant which was grinding out counterfeit banknotes and anti-Semitic literature at the same time." The committee adopted a resolution which has been adopted also by the Chicago Immigrants' Protective League, protesting against the proposed bill for the registration of aliens as unAmeri- ican in principle, since it introduces into our American life the discredited Rus¬ sian and Prussian imperial systems of espionage with a resulting contempt for" the poor. The bill would require every alien to register each year and pay a fee of either $5 or $3, depending upon the age of the alien, and to pay a fine of $25 for failure to register any year. {Concluded on page 8)
