Cities Reap A Novel
Product From Their Achievemeht In U J. G.
By
Cleveland and Detroit Weld Cam¬ paign Organizations Into Per¬ manent Bodies to Serve All Worthy Cailtses
BIG DRIVE IS GOING
STRONGER THAN EVER
New York.—Two of the leading cities o£\tlie country, according to latest re¬ ports, have reaped an unexpected benefi¬ cent "by-product" from their achieve¬ ment in tlie United Jewish campaign. From an effort undertaken primarily for the sake of suffering communities thou- .sands of miles afcross tlie ocean they have found themselves: enriched by a definife enlargement of their own com-! munity assets. .^'    I
.This has ¦ happened simultaneously in Cleveland and Detroit, in both of which cities, the results attained for the over¬ seas. fund have spectacularly broken all records and overtopped the, most san¬ guine expectations of both the local and national leaders. Realizing the tremen¬ dous potentialities for future undertak¬ ings generated by .the spirit aroused through their campaigns, each of rhese cities "has crystallized its drive -. organ¬ ization into a permanent body, to func¬ tion as a continuously available Com¬ munity agency and .to incorporate its p.otency ior Jewish - leadership for ser- , vice iri any cause which may in the fii- .ture make claim upon the community. "The work of, the great organization which:we:baiidcd together for the United Je^^»ish "Crfriiithigiv has been 'So effective, that we decided that it ought not to be allowed .to go out of exisfeiice," ex¬ plained Sam Hartman, chairman of the organization committee, whiqh "organ- , ized victory'' in Cleveland, in a report this. w6ek to National Chairman Brown. ¦ , "We had originally set out to reach !f.'J50,000 .'plus' as ptir goal," Mr. Hart¬ nian said. ¦'When-our. workers finally raised over ¦ $701,000, we realized that our community ,. had acquired a great orgahization, one that should become a perriianent possession, to be looked to as ¦,al.ways ready to undertake:such tasks as that given us in the United Jewish Cam¬ paign! ¦   ; :
"Tlie orjganization will be a Sort of locar .'national guard/ ready at all times for mobilization for active work in such causes as we may be called,upon to meet. We answer the call, of Rabbi Abba Hil¬ lel Silver to 'keep the_ good, work up, and to work.for the community goo.d,* by telling; him and the rest of Cleveland, and the leaders throughoiit the nation who count upon; us here in Cleveland, that this organization of ours is now a permanent one/*
The   pace  and   enthusiasm   developed
from  the very  outset, of the drive in
Cleveland quickly became the' sensation
"of the campaign  in the Middle West.

, NEW YORK —Meyer London, fdr. mer Socialist Representative fro.m the 12th Congressional District, New York, died in Bqllevue Hospital Sunday night a^ a res lilt of injuries suffered earlier in the daiy wheni he was struck by an autor mobile. '
The accident occurred at First Avenue and Eighteenth Stj-cct. ,Mr. London was rushed, to the hospital, and his brothers, Louis and.Harris London, his wife, Mrs. Anna "London and his daughter Isabella were summoned. They were with him when he d.icd.
Witnesses . told the police that Mr, London was crossing Firsit Avenue from east to west, when-.Louis. Greenspan of 3» Cplderi Street, Newark, who was driving north/swerved to. avoid striking an, automobile , driveti by Jack Apple- bnutn. of .1290 .Lafayette  Avenue,  the
ftronx. The two cars crashed together nd Greenspan's was thrown,to the.right, Btrikinig Mr. London, who was in ¦ the middle of tlie street. Although suffer¬ ing severe pain London asked thatt - no charge be made against Greenspan and he was not arrested.
Meyer London was fifty-five years old. He, lived at 308 East Eighteenth, Street
fnd had his law offices at 303 Broadway. le came to the United States from southern Russia,, when he was eighteen ears old/, studied, law and became , a ;ader a'nd the attorney for several labor Unions;
Mr. London was. the, fi.rst Socialist sfint fo .Congress by an Eastern state. He served iii the sixty-fourth and sixty-fifth Congresses in 1915-1911) and again in the sixtyrseventh Congress in 1931-1933. '. Mr. London opposed the entrance of the United .States into the World War and went to Congress with the declared intention of proposing to "make war on war", to force Europe to, come to terms by starving, out the warring nations and refusing to furnish war materials by which the fight could be maintained. He was denounced on the floor of the House when: he voted alone against the resolu¬ tion to make war on Austria-Hungary, He carried on his fight'to oppose con¬ scription.
Mr. London was torn by two emotions when he voted against our dccla'nng war on Austria.-'Hungary, he explained. One was his desire that the action of Con gress be una:nimdus and the other that the philosophy .Of tlfie'people be repre- sefited, which was opposed to the declara¬ tion of all war, he expressed. ¦
"I ha:te professions of loyalty," he said, "but ,1 belieye I am as deeply in love with the United States as any man who can trace his ancestry to the May¬ flower." ,      ,        ^
Mr. Lpndon said from the beginning that commvinism ,had no place in this country, and he refused to make speeches favoring the Soviet. Only about a year ago he made a speech before the Young People's Socialist League in Which he advised the members to "k^ep their noses to the grindstone", to forget idealism for the time being and to work out their problems in an American'' way, also to convert America to socialism in the light of existing facts and not fancies engen¬ dered'by the ;Bolsheviki.

NEW YORK CITY.—A pamphlet on the .subject of "What Every- Woman Should Know About Citizenship" has been issued by the.Department of Immi¬ grant Aid, of the National' Council of Jewish Women, THis- publication wais' written by Miss Cecilia Razovsky, Sec¬ retary of the Department, and contains a foi-eword by Miss Fiorina; Lasker, Chairman of the Department. It forriis the I second pamphlet in, its: "Advice, tP Immigrants'* Series, arid is written in ¦English arid/Yiddish. , In explaining.the purpose of this publication, Miss Lasker states:, ,. "On September 22, 1922, there was en¬ acted into a law of the'United-States a bill, known as the Cable Act, which has had a far-reaching effect, on women the world.over. This law, provides for the independent .citizenship of: married women. It is astonishing /to find that three years after the operation of the law large numbers of women are still unaware of the change wrought in. their citizenship , status by the, enactment of this measure. .If this lack of under¬ standing prevailed only atriong recent arrivals to this country, it might easily be explained,- but: unfortunately it ap¬ pears that women born; in this, country, as well as women who have;liveri here inarty years, are:eqtialiy ignorant of the significance .of the new law. It is. there¬ fore evident that, in spite of such pub¬ licity as has already been given to the Cable act, there is further need for analyzing the provisions-of this act and for popularizing information regarding naturalization . legislation and procedure as applied to women, native as well as foreigi>b6rn.
"The first clause of the'Cable Act provides that the right of- any. woman to become a naturalized citizen of the United States .may riot be denied or abridged by reason of her sex or mari¬ tal status. The main purpose in enact¬ ing this law was to grant women, in so far as it is possible, citizenship on equal terms with men. Because of interha- iional complications, however, it has not been possible to-enact a law applicable to. men and .women alike, married. or single, so that we find that our natural¬ ization laws; riiake , provision for but one path to citizenship for men, while they provide two for women, compelling the wife :to take one road, the . maid another.
"It is the purpose of this paniphilet to analyze the provisions of ' this law for the benefit not only of foreign-born women, but for native-born^ as well. In order to reach foreign-born women effec¬ tively, an - attempt has been made to explain in simple English thq difficul¬ ties confronting them since the passage of the Cable Act—difficulties which can only be removed by the naturalization of these women,"     ¦'
This pamphlet has been highly com¬ mended by specialists in the field of immigrant education and naturalization.
