Colonization
DR. WEIZMANN INVITED TO NATIONAL CONFERENCE
NllW YORK.—In a letter to Louis Lipsky, Cliairman of the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America, Dr. Stephen S. Wise accepts the leadership of a Na¬ tional Committee which will conduct an appeal for $.5,000,00a on behalf of the funds engaged in colonization and other development work in Palestine. The funds which will, for the first time, combine their appeal include, the Keren Hayesod, which is the princii .immigration and colonization agency of the Zionist movement; the Jewish Na¬ tional Fund, \Vhich confined itself to purchasing and improving land colonization purposes; Hadassah Medi¬ cal Organization, which maintains system of hospitals and other health activities in Piilestine; the Hebrew University Fund and the funds for de¬ veloping the Rutenbcrg Jordan River power, and light concession.
In_ his letter Dr. Wise states that Palestine "has for nearly half a century proved the priority of its place in any well considered program of Jewish migration and Jewish colonization." He praises the achievements of the Palestine Fotmdation Fund, under the leadership of Samuel Untermyer, and declares that the unprecedented action of issuing a united appeal is due fo the "unprece¬ dented opiportunities" in Palestine. '"Within the next year," Dr. Wise writes, "we have the opportunity to en¬ able more thousands of our people tc enter Palestine than ever before, tens ol thousands of young and fearless pioneers, as well as equally large num¬ bers of immigrants of the other classes, salvaged from suffering and despair to a new life for themselves and to a re¬ generation ol the national life of their
It is understood that a national ference on Palestine will take place early next month and that prominent European leaders of the movement, eluding Dr. Oiaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization wil come to this country to participate 11 the appeal. Dr. Wise's letter to Mi -    Lipsky is as follows:
October 31, l{)2o. "Dear Mr. Lipsky:.
"I am mindful of the honor which has been conferred upon me by the invita¬ tion to serve as tlic chairman of the United Palestine Funds Campaign and I accept the invitation with a full under¬ standing of tbe very great responsibility which my acce()tance involves, say at once that I can hope to-meet the responsibility only if I have the full and loyal support of all Zionist groups throughout the land and of that great number of' American Jews, who, though outside of Zionist! ranks, are deeply in¬ terested in the upbuilding of Palestine. I count not only upon the steadfast < operation of all my fellow-Zionists America, but I earnestly hope that the President of the World Zionist Organi¬ zation, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, and others atnong the European leaders of out cause_,^vvill'be ready to lend to the cam¬ paign about to begin, the vigor and effectiveness which have characterized Dr. Weizmann's participation in" the American campaigns of previous years.
"We, American Zionists, are about to do an unprecedented thing because we are faced by an unprecedented oppor¬ tunity. The doors of Palestine have been opened wider than ever before. Within the next year, the period of work for which we are about to make our ap¬ peal, we have the opportunity to enable more thousands of our people to enter Palestine than ever before, tens (Concluded on page 4)

Why I Believe in the Commuhity Fund
FIRST: Because I belieVe in co-operation. Individualism has its excellence; but the great forward movements of this gen¬ eration are eloquent testimony to the achievements possible only through the organized co-operation of all the forces in society. SECOND: Because I believe in organization. Effective service waits upbn organization. All phases of modern life put emphasis upon organized service as the basis of progress.
THIRD: Because I have seen the first fruits of the Com- ¦ munity Fund Administration in a more imified public sentiment than ever existed before. This means a greater city and a finer quality of citizenship.
FOURTH: Because I haVe seen the greater efificiency and happiness of tlie co-operating agencies in their work due largely to relief from anxiety about finances.
FIFTH: Because I believe that through the Community Fund we are on the way to a better city. We are now- in position to make a careful and intelligent estimate of all the needs ih the city and county. The Community Fund opens the way for a well balanced distribution of our energies in relieving misfortune and distress, in developing the health and comfort of all the people and in general in meeting the social needs of the city in whatever form they develop.
SIXTH: I believe in the disinterestedness of the men ind women who have made the Community Fund possible and who are maintaining it vvith their time, labor and money. These citi¬ zens have compelled my admiration. Any great' community move¬ ment with such support wins my heart.
May I commend the Community Fund to the generous sup¬ port of all good citizens in Columbus and Franklin County. Very sincerely,
W. O. Thompson, General Chairman, Community Fund Campaign.

NEW YORK CITY.—The Board of Managers  of  the  National  Council  of Jewish Women, which will hold its nual   meeting  at   The  iCommodore, New York City, from Sunday, Nov. 15
Friday, Nov. 20, will give special sideration to the future financial policy of its organization. "The rapid expansion of our program," declared Miss Rose Brenner of Brooklyn, N. Y., president of the National Council f Jewish Women, "has necessitated the provision of additional funds. When our otganization was founded, thirty-two years ago, the problems of today did not press us with the same urgency. With¬ in the past few years, a new department has been created, the' Department Farm and Rural vVork, which alone re- large subsidy. Even the present budget for this activity is inadequate, for the population of Jewish farm women and women resident in rural dis¬ tricts, has risen to a point that would require the enlargement of our staff of rural field workers t^o meet their needs completely. We are already active e states of Connecticut, New York, Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigai^ and California.
"The International case work, service to refugees and the necessity of promot¬ ing interest in naturalization, to solve the critical problem of the wives and children ot declarants, who cannot come America until their husbands have gained their citizenship, are a few of the newer phases of the responsibilities upon our Department of Immigrant Aid, which also aids Jewish. families at the ports of entry and adjusts unfortunate desertion cases.
'Our program today covers eighteen distinct fields. Our 52,000 women are determined to see each of them pro¬ moted and developed to its highest and most efficient point."
The presidents of the State and Inter¬ state Conferences of. Council Sections been invited to attend the special session of the board, which will deal with the council's budget for the coming year.

David A. Brqwn Describes Re¬ ligious Conditions Among the Jews of Soviet Russia
NEW YORK, (J. T. A.)-The five- ' day industrial week was strongly en¬ dorsed by the twenty-seventh annual convention of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation of America which held its three-day session in New York. The convention went on record in favor of the movement.
A proposal to convene a world "San- hcdrin" in Jerusalem, tho purpose of which would be to give authoritative expression to the development of Jewish tradition and "halacha" was launched at the convention by Dr. David de Sola Pool. The convention, however, decided to refer the matter to the executive com¬ mittee which is to take actiofi together with the Rabbinic Board of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis.
The sessions of the convention, fol-, lowing the agreement concluded between the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congre¬ gations and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis for the first time in the history of Orthodox Jewry in America, sounded ^ a note of unity when rabbis and leaders of both organizations attended.
On the platform were Rabbi Dr. Percira Mendes, the oldest of the Orthodox English speaking rabbis, and Rabbi M. Z. Margolis leader of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis. The im¬ pression prevailed that a union between the English speaking orthodox and the Yiddish speaking orthodox will soon come about.
The convention, with the co-operation of Congressman Isaac Siegel, adopted a resolution on immigration.
Dr. Leopold Lichtig, rabbi of Ham¬ burg, who came to America especially to attend the convention, greeted the issembly on behalf of Orthodox Jewry n Germany.
"What is the use of having Talmud Torahs and observing Sabbath and when the boy , is 16 years oldi vCe tell him, 'Starve, or work on the Sabbath'?" Dr. Samuel Friedman declared, urging a five-day industrial week.
I have tried,to take this question up
with the leaders of the labor unions and
leaders of the manufacturers," Dr.
Friedman declared.    "I have succeeded
in bringing them together in a friendly
