Dr. Freud tp Head World Foundation On Psychoanalysis
Originator Accepts Chairmansliip
of Body to Promote His
Theories
WILL EXPOSE "FAKES"
IN UNITED STATES
VIEN.NA. —It was aiiiloimccd th: Professor Sigmiind Freud, originator of psychoanalysis, lias accepted the chairmanship of tiic International Psy- clioanatytical Foimdation being or¬ ganized by his friends in New York. Tile organization will be devoted to thc furtherance of true psychological knowledge along I'Vcudian lines and to combating thc fake psychoanalysis now said to be rampant in the United States. Funds for this purpose are now being raised.
In a lettpr, to Edward L. Bernays of New York, who is now in Vienna • to discuss' thc foundation with Dr. Freud, thc latter accepts the ofler of the chairmanship and expresses satis¬ faction over the scheme. He says, however, that he does not desire to as¬ sume all responsibility and suggests that a governing committee be pointed of equal numbers of Europi and Americans. The letter, which, by the way, is the first statement signed by Dri Freud to be issued to the press many years, contincs:
¦"Such a foundation in my opinion would have three purposes:
"First, the. maintenance and enlarge¬ ment of the existing psychoanalytical institutions, completing the education of physicians in psychoanalysis and mak¬ ing psychoanalytical treatment available to people without means. I hope closer acquaintance with these institutionsi will induce Americans to create similar ones in their own country and thus put an end to the frequent misuse of psycho¬ analysis there.
"The second purpose is the mainte¬ nance of a psychoanalytic press, pub¬ lishing all our literature. ,^, "The third purpose isi the carrying - out-df^-publicity campaign which, with earnest, decent methods, will dissemi¬ nate the true, character and value of psychoanalysis." ¦
The European half of the-governing committee of the foundation consists of Dr. Eitingen, founder of the Berlin Polyclinic; Dr. .Alexander Ferenczi, the Hungarian psychoanalyst; Dr. Karl Abraham, president of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and Joseph Storfer.
Thc American members will be an¬ nounced soon. A prominent New York banker' has accepted the treasurership. ' A scliolarship to send Americans to Europe to study psychoanalysis at its source is also planned, Mr. Bernays said.

¦% .^VM MARSHAK was speculating
^ what he would do if he  had a
-^ million dollars.   '
Marshak was "tending bar" behind a ghetto soda stand and thc rays of thc ; beating unmertifully down upon him.
But Sam was a "Ycshiva Bucher"—
talmudic student, and, therefore, given speculation   under   any   and  all   cir-
imstanccs. Even while handing out two-cent   sodas   and   five-cent   malted
ilks to ghetto mothers and kiddies, Marshak would day-dream.
Marshak was roused from his reveries
le day, two years ago, by the fact that the five-cent "maltcds" were outselling the two-cent sodas ten to one. Thi8 was unusual.
sales should have registered just the opposite way.
Sam speculated.
He studied the character of his pur¬ chasers and soon learned that the bulk of the malted milks were being sold mothers   for   children   whose   diet   was largely milk.
He GetB the Idea
i   a  neighborhood   mother   that
gave  Marshak  the  idea  which  earned
for him thc million.   This mother said
to Marshak:
"You know that I couldn't get my baby to drink milk until I began feed¬ ing her malteds. Now she is drinking so much ,that she is getting fat."
That remark settled Marshak's career as a dispenser of two-cent sodas and five-cent malted milks
Marshak had -just become the father of a youngster and that youngster showed little progress because ordinate antipathy to milk,
The doctor had told the young wife repeatedly "Give the baby lots of milk.'' The baby had taken issue with the doc¬ tor's dictum.
For four days Marshak experimented with sundry formulas designed to make milk palatable and to the liking of re¬ calcitrant' youngster*.
Marshak   knew   much  of  milk,
had been a student in the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School. Hd had even worked as a hand on a dairy farm in Woodbine, N. J., a short time before  he  started the  soda  stand.
But he needed more than a knowl¬ edge of milk. He' required a definite knowledge of chemistry. So Marshak continued at his stand and at night con¬ ducted his experiements...
Books from the neighborhood library explained tojiim why cocoa would cake when mixed with milk. He learned other things at a loss of sleep, but at the end of several months his labors seemed to be rewarded.
For a time Marshak experimented on .himself. A father himself he was not disposed to try his product on his kid¬ die customers. In time Marshak began dosing the milk of his friends with invention.
They not* only liked it, but asked b where they could purchase some of the ingredients   for   use   in  their   milk
It was then that the inventor tried the milk on his own baby. The :hild had been under constant treat- nent of a child specialist.
Thc child began to thrive. Even the doctor  wondered.
Marshak said to himself:
"I will make every baby in the world plump and healthy just as I have made mine.    I  will show them what my dis-
very has done  to  my youngster, and
will do the same  for theirs.    And I
ill  make a  fortune."
But thc plan required capital. Marshak
id .no  relatives  or   friends  of  means. If he sold his soda stand he would part with a very definite means of livelihood. But  I'mally he sold his stand  for $500. With  this  sum,  he  says,  he  embarked upon   his   "malted"   marketing. Calls on Grocers door  to   door  he   called   upon housewives.    He described the wonder¬ ful  effects of his  product on  his-owr baby and on the babies in his ndighbor- hood.    His limited' capital restricted thc use of free samples.    But samph demanded  and soon  his  $500  dwindled to a slender $200.
The cost  of the  free samples  began eating into his meagre sum.    Marshak was, now  in  a  position  where  he  had neither soda stand nor his $500. ' Then he decided to call upon borhood grocers, the grocers that catered to the mothers to whoitl he had given the   samples. ¦ This   day   is   marked conspicuous figures in the record of S; Marshak's life, January 2, 192-1.
The  grocers  were  ready and  willing to buy.    In fact, they were waiting for the man who had been giving those pies away.'^  There had been demand    for   that    "stuff    that   makes babies    want    milk,"      Marshak home fro nithis day's cancassing loaded with orders.    But his capital had been all exhausted. '
He therefore began' accepting orders on a C. O, D. basis only. The grocers "ivelo-willing, more than willing. There was a demand that had to be fulfilled and here was the man that could fil.l it. So they agreed to pay on delivery. He filled the C. O. D. orders first and soon had five times the original $-'>00 on hand. The rest was a matter of pyramiding. The orders continued to pour in. Mis profits began to mount. From the cramped forty-dollar store at Driggs .Avenue, under the Williams¬ burg Bridge In Brooklyn, Marshak was compelled to move his plant to more spacious quarters.
Machinery Designed New machinery had to be built, in fact new machinery had to be designed, but Marshak was no longer troubled. Banks were only too ready to help, and they did help. Soon a plant was erected at Nos, 705-707-70!) Driggs .Ave¬ nue, a few steps away from, where the first plant had been put into operation. Marshak was now a corporation. His grocer-customers  were his  partners.
A large sales force was organized. The business  mushroomed,  and  yester-

Religious Liberty Association Protests The Blue Sunday Law
Law   Would   Deprive   Jews   of
One-Sixth of their Working
Time
NEW YORK. — (j; T. A.) - A pro¬ test against the proposed Blue Sunday law of the Lord's day alliance is e.x- pres«ed by Carlyle B, Haynes, the New- York state secretary of the Religious Liberty Asociation, whose speech last March before the assembly c( of codes resulted in the death of the bin which thc Lord's Day Alliance had introduced in 'the last session in a let¬ ter to Rev. John Ferguson, the general secretary of the New York State Lord's Day Alliance,
• "f am writing In thc friendliest pos¬ sible spirit to suggest tho advisability of your organizatioti to introducing any more such legislation at all; of dis- lianding your religio-politlcal organiza¬ tion which produces only discord and strife of abandoning your efforts tc unite church and state „iii New York of renouncing your ambition to dictate the religious opinions and practice of tbe citizensi of this state; of repudiating your policy of interference in matters that belong td the state, and not to the church; of surrendering your campaign of iiersecutlon against those who happen di.sa.i>rce with you religiously ','fn the newspaper account of your statement   asking   for   suggestions,  you
reported as saying: " 'We paring a measure as nearly asi possible
the basis of a square deal for body,  and  our purpose is  to  eliminate all discrimination.'
No religious  law on a civil  statute book can be fair for everybody.   .\ Sun¬ day law grows out of ,3 determination o  discriminate. "You  say,  'We  firmly  bellei iglits.of all people'.   How can you ex¬ pect this to be credited when your ac- deny it?   By passing Sunday laws ire endeavoring to deprive a great body   of   the  citizens  of  this  state' of their rights," Mr. Haynes stated in his letter.
"Sunday laws are unjust because they force upon a minority who observe Sat¬ urday, -the seventh day of the week, the religious opinions of the majority, who observe Sunday, the first day of the week, and in matter of religion and conscience the majority has no rightful power; because they deprive a consider¬ able proportion of Christians and Jews, those who observe the seventh day, of one-sixth part of their rightful vyork- ing time," Mr. Haynes continued. "Fe- cause they penalize honest labor and thus make criminals out of a class of citizens against whom no criminal charges should lie, thus creating a new set of crimes, in spite of the fact that crimes arc not determined by the day of the week upon which they are commit¬ ted; because they withhold from one class of citizens what they freely per¬ mit to another—the right to six days work—simply because of a difference in religious belief."

In announcing the appointment Mr. Cohen stated that in the person of Dr. Bogen he felt sure thc organization was securing an official of rare and versatile qualifications.
Dr. Bogen, who will assume his new position early in the fall is a well- kown Jewish social worker. He was engaged in the educational fiel'c^ for a number of .years, serving in turn the Educational Alliance of New York, the Baron de Hirsch Trade School, the He¬ brew Technical Institute and the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School, From 1904 to 1912 he was superintendent of the Federation of Jewish Charities in Cincinnati, and was Field Secretary of the National Conference of Jew¬ ish Charities for three years.

Speaking of the reasons which influ¬ enced him to accept the appointment as secretary of the I. O. B. B., Dr. Bogen
.. "Service in connection with thc In¬ dependent Order B'nai B'rith presents a privilege of serious import World Jewry is longing for unity. Various forces are at work in this direction. Neither the synagogue nqr specific phil¬ anthropic activities, nor educational, na¬ tional or social endeavors can serve- this particular purpose, for -they are lim¬ ited in scope and restricted in applica¬ tion. Only an organization free frotu these limitations, unrestricted in con¬ tent, dynamic in its. functions, uniting Jews as Jews, has -the potentiality of becoming a unifying force for a world
"The Jews have contributed a great deal to social service. They pioneered in the field of federation. "They ini- iated the method for the care of wid¬ ows and children' outside of institu¬ tions, They were in the vanguard of the treatment of tuberculosis. Their next contribution should b'e democrati¬ zation of service.
"The Independent Order B'nai B'rith, because of its democratic structure, with its cons.tantly increasing membership united for the sole -purpose of serving; alive to current needs, be they religious, cultural or philanthropic, presents a potentiality of becoming the unifyim; force of world Jewry. ' These views prompted me to accept as a privilege the tender made me by the president of the B'nai B'rith to become its secretary.
