Work of Reclaiming Falashas to Judaism Reviewed at Meeting
"Remarkable   Survival    of    Fa¬ lashas Merits Wider .Interest Among American Jewry," Dr.  Cyrus Adler Declares
NEW YORK. —The work of the American Pro-Falasha Committee, the only agency of American Jewry en¬ gaged in bringing the message of Juda¬ ism to a distant land, \va5 reviewed at the last meeting of the committee, un¬ der the chairmanship of Dr. Elias Mar¬ golis of Mount Vernon, N. Y., by Dr. Cyrus .Adler, president of ithe Jewish Theological  Seminary of  -America.
'.'It is in extraordinary fact that fifty thousand Falas'has in Abyssinia have remained loyal to their Judaism. I have been, for many years, interested Falashas — that far-away branch of the House of Israel," stated Dr. Adler. 'They were not among tho^e who sought the charity of their brethren or physical help, but for so many, centu- cut off from contact with their brethren that they have lost the knowl¬ edge of the Hebrew language, Jewish literature, and were the prey of various movements which sought 'to wean them from their inherited religion. It is traordinary that through these man> centuries of isolation, some fifty thou¬ sand have remained loyal, and it is only
afford them religious teachinf Jewish literature that the outside world is asked, Thc extraordinary zeal and ilevotion of Doctor Faitlovitcli would appeal to anyone who sympathizes v such devotion and the affording of opportunity to this picturesque group of Jewish religious education should, in my opinion, command the sympathy of all Jews who cherish their religion.
"Other religions  send nunierous  mis- onaries over land and sea and through the   burning   desert   and   expend   much effort to save  only a   few  souls.    We have certainly never done this and we have been ratlier negligent even in hold¬ ing those who rightfully belong to lis, that the efforts of the Ameri- •o-Falasha   committee   will   be crowned  with success," Dr. Jacques Faitlovitch, the field di- ctor   of   the   American   Pro-Falasha committee, who recently   came   to   thc United  States  at  the  invitation of  th American committee, explained the need for broadening the scope of the Falasha program.   "I have recommended Pales¬ tinian  scholarships   for  Falasha young men and young • women," declared  Dr. Faitlovitch, "because in the schools Palestine  we  can   give   them  a   fuller training for leadership.    Our Abyssin¬ ian  school  in  Addis-Aboba  is  for the education   of   larger   Falas,ha   groups. (Concluded on page 4)

Arab Demonstration Against Balfour Due To French Intrigue
Damascus   Riot   Interpreted   by Editors as Symptom of Ri¬ valry    Between    Great Britain and France
(From our Xew York correspondent NEW YORK. —The charge that the Arab demonstration against  Lord  Bal¬ four   in   Damascus    is    the    result    of French   intrigue  against   British   powi in the Near East is voiced in editorial comment  which   appeared  in  the   New York   Jewish   daily   newspapers.    The editors contrast the welcome which Lord Balfour    received    in    Palestine    from many Arab chieftains as well as J< with the outbreak in Damascus, and in¬ timate that the French could have pre¬ vented the. demonstration  had they de¬ sired to do so.
The "Jewish Morning Journal" which represents conservative orthodox Jewry states: "The Palestinian,.Arabs have.a stronger grievance against Lord Bal¬ four than the Syrians who are under French, mandate. If the British colo¬ nial .administration was able to maintain order during the week of Balfour's journey through Palestine in the course of which he appeared at ^maiiy public celebrations, the French authorities in- Damascus could certainly have managed to maintain order in the few hours that aged English statesman stopped during his journey. France, how- intrigues against England in the East and although she dares not ; out in the open an opportunity like Balfour's visit is utilized to sh that  she   is   not  asleep.    According
lid calculations liot only Syria but Palestine also should have come under French  protection  on   the   partition  of Turkey;   but  the   English   needed   Pal- protect  the  Suez  Canal  and Syria   alone   has   but   little   value    for •ance.    The  latter is dissatisfied and pressed her dissatisfaction by permit¬ ting  agitators   to   cause  .blood-shed   ir Damascus."
e '"Forward" ,w Ii i c h represents the radical trade-union elements says secret that there exists a si lent competition between England ind France in connection with the Neai Ii:ast, France is anxious itliat Eng¬ land should be hated by the populatioi of those countries, and it is in the in- . of her politics for the .Arabs o Syria to incite the Arabs of Palestine against British policy." The same vioxy is expressed also by le conservative "Jewish Daily News" which says: "There is probably a great leal of truth in the charge made by [uirtion of the London press that the French authorities did not adopt the necessary measures to insure the safety of Balfour- in Syria. It is well known that French policy is in competition British policy in the Xeajr East, and French intrigue and agitation arc doing their utmost to weaken the in¬ fluence of England in those regions and undermine her prestige among the Arabs."
The "Day" is also of the same opin¬ ion citing the statement of General Sar- rail to the effect that the -Arabs must be allowed "to let off steam." The "Day" is further of the opinion that llie results will be directly the reverse of what the French hoped for. It says: "If be¬ fore the events in Damascus there were still English politicians who encouraged the Arabs and joined them in their op- iwsition against Zionism, it has now become impossible for them to main tain this iwsition. It is no longer i question of Jews and Zionism, 'it is a question of British prestige, of Britaiii'i position in the Near East."
