Wise relat¬ ing to tbe preliminary conference which he held last August while in Europe witll leaders of various Jewish communi¬ ties and thc Committee of Jewish Dele¬ gations. The Jews of Europe, Dr. Wise S(lid, are dependent upon their brethren in America not only for material support hut even more so for moral support in their constant struggle to attain politi¬ cal, economic and social equality. They look to American Jews, by who.'-e eiforts thc guarantee^ for minority rights were made liart of international law. not tn abandon the light until those rights are scrupulously adhered to by thc various countries which assumed the obligation to do so,: Dr. Wise deiilared.
Dr. Wise also presented a detailed report received from Mr. Marvin Lowen- thiil, European representative of the .-\meriean Jewish Congress, dealing with the Minorities Congress recently held in Geneva. It was an illuminating discus¬ sion of a subject which closely relate-s to the interests of the Jews abroad.

CONGRATULATIONS AND .   BEST WISHES FO YOU
Considerine the fact that every man who pledged a sub¬ scription to the East Broad Street Temple last Tuesday eve¬ ning, also has contributed gen¬ erously to the United Jewish Fund and other local and lia- tioiial appeals, one.is led to ex¬ tend to these fine gentlemen hearty congratulations and sin¬ cere compliments.
With such u splendid spirit animating the members of the Tifereth Israel Congregation, they cannot but succeed in their praise-worthy ciTort to erect a beautiful Temple on the finest thoroughfare in the city of Co¬ lumbus.
The Ohio Jewish Chronicle takes this means of commend¬ ing thc numerous men who doubled or increased their sub¬ scriptions to the Building Fund uf the new House of God and trusts that their prayers will be answered and that Gud-will guide and bless them during the coming year.
