CABLES DR. ROSEN
Old Settlers Working Full Capac¬ ity and Hundreds of Carloads of Lumber Being Rushed for New Homes
FINANCIAL RESOURCES
ARE NOT SUFFICIENT
NEW YORK.—The remarkable prog¬ ress which is. being- niadq in the settle¬ ment of' Jews as fairmers in Russia is described in a cable which was received by  David  A., Brown, chairman  of the
. $16,000,000 United Jewish Campaigii from Dr. Joseph A.. Rosen, head of' the Agrb-Joint. , . ' ¦The cable, -which is dated April.l'lth, states that the Spring settlement caiii- paign is in full swing ih all of the Jewr ish agricultural settlements. The old settlers are working at full capacity, says Dr. Rosen's cable, and, the new set¬ tlers are  already  on the  march.    Over
,1000 families, approximately 5,000 souls, have arrived in the ¦ Cherson,- Crimea, Krivoy Rog districts up to. thc time of the filing! bf.Di-. Roseafs cable. A large mimber of new tractors, have ar¬ rived   and   have   already   been   put   to
.;'-.wprk;. , ¦ — ¦;. ;
.Spring   seeding   has   started   in   thc
.Crimea,   says   Dr. ,loosen,   and   100,000
¦poods/which is. 20,000 tons of seed has been prepared, and distributed to the new settlers. Df. Rosen states further in his cable that 800 carloads of lumber have been prepared and.are being rushed to all points involved in the new settlements for , building purposes. ¦ Half, inillion grape .Seedlings have' , arriyed from France, and are being distributed, im¬ plements and livestock .are being pur¬ chased and distributed to the new. set-
¦¦ tlers.'-
' Dr. Rosen's cable cOncIUdbs with an appeal  for; additional  funds.    He says,
: "oiir present, funds, plus  the  funds of
;, the ICA., ORT, Pzet and other JeWisli organizations working in those districts
' not supervised, by us,.and also including the  funds'supplied by the government
.are, entirely insufficient to meet out" heeds/ Altogether these .funds will sat isfy oiily a fraction of the actual der mand on: the part of large, numbers of Jews,. wh6 arc anxious to settle on the land, W'hich is far in excess of the num¬ ber, that we can assist with the money .  at   our   command,     Assure   American
¦Jewry that every dollar appropriated for this work accomplishes a maximum of
, real'recoristruction work;" ¦

Henry Morgenthau Urges
Loan For Palestine
A  National   Loan  Would   Determine Country's Future, He Says; Praises .Keren Hayespd But Denies :    Political Vict6ry
SHANGHAI: .(J. T. A.)—The idea of a national loan for Palestine was again discussed by Henry, Morgenthau,. former Onitcd States , Ambassador to Turkey, who arrived here oh his tour around the world. In an interview with Mr. Morgenthau tlie representative of "Jsrael'g Messenger," Zionist paper of China, subniitted to him a Jerusalem dispatch of , the Jewish Telegraphic Agency of last January in which Mr. Morgenthau described his impressions of Palestine when, he revisited :it and liis enthusiasm for the proposed national loan. J,
Mr. Morgenthau admitted the correcA ness of the dispatch but denied the state¬ ment which was "put in. his mouth," he said, by the Agency, .that the ."Zionists have achieved a great political victory," That was untrue,, he stated. "There was iio such victory in ..sJ,"ht," .he'declared, although he was fully prepared to ad¬ mit that the "advance of Palestine since his last.visit in' 1914 was stupendous." This he attributed., to the wonderful manner in which the Keren Hayesod was proceeding with the upbuilding of the country, although he felt' that much more could Be done if "a national loan foi- Palestine", were floated. He was convinced that under half!a dozen leadr iiig. Jewish business* men, it would be possible'to determine Palestine's future, and all Jews would ultimately combine in. a great eftort to upbuild the country.
Mr., Morgenthau made.it clear that he was not eoing to lend his services in order to d"cate in, Palestine "The" Jew-, ish Natioiial Homeland, but "A" home¬ land, without any femphasis being laid,on the word, "National;" According to him, the Balfour Declaration was a ; mis¬ take.. . According tq Mr. Morgenthau Jews going to Palestine should es¬ chew politics and Vtalk'' more abput cultural .work and. arts with a..view to creating a \ spiritual centre only; What may happen say^ after ten; twenty, thirty oi- f9rty years is not for us to de¬ termine, but must be left to future pos¬ terity, to settle; he said., Mr. Moir^en- thau stated he believes hf speaks for the elements of wcaltliy Jisws in America and elsewhere,' who ,are against political Zionism,
"ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL IN LURING AND IN GIVING" This beautiful slogan, chosen by the projectors of the Uuited Jewish Fund of Columbus, is filling every,conscientioiis Jew in,this city with the true spirit of benevolence and brotherly cooperation. Everyone has beeh fully convinced that the idea of a Jewish Cominunity Chest (which will finance for a period of three yeiirs all local and national appeals for philanthropic, educational, and cultural purposes) is a mtist com mendable one. '
It has been broiight home to every Chronicle reader, that by pooling their efiforts the united ,local; comtnittecs representing (all con¬ gregations) will prevent duplicatiori of expense and energy and at the same time dbviafe the, necessity for .separate driVes.'That all money Iraised by this campaign will be wisely spent in meritorious causes, is the nssuranceof the public-spirited men at the head of the, drive.  '
¦The United Jewish Fund o£ Golumhus will take, care of the appeals of the following causes and institutions; (i); Thc ,$15,000,000 Joint Appeal for the,StricUen Jews of Europe; (2) The Cleveland Jewish Orphans' Home; (3) Reconstructibu Work in ,Palestine; (4)' The Columbus Talmud Torah; (5) 'Immigrant Aid Work; (6) Educational League for the Higher Education of Orphans'; (7) The B'naj, B'rith Hillcl Eounclatidn and other college, work; (8) Anticipated Needs of Columbus Jewish Community and other highly, endorsed projects. A, carefully produced folder aiid other literature 'hav^ been gent oi3^ to every Jewish farriily graphically portraying in succinct terms and with illlistrations the uses to which the .$250,000 raised in this city will be put. The rabbis of the various syhagogs, and temples have, in their sermpns, explained the issues at stake a'lid it is hardly possible that any folks are at sea regarding the vital, importance of bringing the drive to a successfulfriiitipn, ,
No Jew who is worthy of the name can fail to,see the imperative necessity _foi- cooperation in order to put this big campaign ,over. For any one to stand aloof at this significant hour in Columbus Jewry's

The .most urgent need at the present time, he said, was for a, new home in. a suburban section of the city. He de¬ plored the fact that the Home is at present located in oiie of the most deteri- . .orated ¦^ana congested sections, of the'' Ohio metropolis;
