Cites Heroic Attitude of  12th o.iry Rabbi In Germany Who Died For Protection of Jewish Rights
CONSTANTINOPLE—Tlic criticism against the leaders ot Turki.sh Jewry voiced by Louis Marshall, prcsideiu of llie American Jcivisli Committee, for their action in reimuiicing tlicir claim lo the national minority riKlits guaranteed under the treaty of Laus.lnne, is stilt stirring Turkish and Jewish jiublic opin¬ ion throughout thc country,
The Turkish ncw.s[}aper "Djunhaurict" puMishcs an interview with the Chief Uabhi of Constiintinoille, Bejeranu Ef- fcndi, who ]iFayc<l a prominent part at thc iiiectinK of the Jewish National As¬ sembly of Turkey which took the mo- iiicntons decision.
When asked by the Turkish represen¬ tative of the newspaper what was his opinion of- Mr. Marshall's criticism, lie exclaimed: "I don't want to hear any thing more concerning this question! Who can say anything when the entire Jewish population has renounced il$ mi¬ nority rinhts? It I gave you a gold watch and you refused to accept it, can I compel you to accept it? We, thc Turkish Jews, refuse any foreign inter¬ vention in matters cf our own concern. The Jewish community of Turkey can well rely on the Turkish government to safeguard ils rights. It needs no for¬ eign help. The Turkish J»,ws are pleased with the provisions of the Swiss Civil Code which our country has adopted.' the Chief Rabbi stated.
'¦'The Jewish religion commands olic- dicnge and respect for the government. We bend before the laws of the repub¬ lic and whatever might he said abroad does not interest us. Wc want no med¬ dling in our affairs," he declared.

Mr.s, Max Harmon will direct the choir at the Hillel services.
Edward J. Goodman, chairman of thc United Jewish Campaign in the central Ohio rcp^ion with headquarters in ColumbuHp has issued a special appeal to all the local chair¬ men of this region ur^inji: them to co-operate with the American Red Cross in raiainf; funds for the Florida suf¬ ferers.
He has also urged these {gentlemen to attend thc na¬ tional U. J. C. conference at Chicago October Oth and 10th. Julius Rosenwald, multi-millionaire philanthropist and first contributor to the'United Jewish CampaijGfn a year ago, will be the host. Prominent Jews in every section of the land have already made their reservations and it is hoped that central Ohio will have a fair representation at .this unique gathering;.
The conference will take place in the club rooms of the Standard Club, one of the outstanding Jewish social clubs of the United States. Among thc notables who will be present are the followinj?: Louis Marshall, Felix M. Warburg, David A. Brown, Dr. Bernard Kahn, Dr. Joseph ' A* Rosen, Dr. Maurice B. Hexter, James N.

X£VV YORIC^Louis Marshall in a statement issuetl to the Jewish Tele¬ graphic Agency, made tbe following re¬ ply to the assertions of Rabbi Bejeranu lilTendi, Chief Rabbi of Constantinople, cojiccrning tbe nationjil minority rights cuntroversy.
"There is nothing tbat I can add to what I have heretofore said on this sub¬ ject," Mr Marshall stated. "The com¬ ments of the Chief Rahbi indicate that he does not understand the situation. He is speaking in terms of Oriental exaggera¬ tion when lie intimates that "tbe entire Jewish pt)pulat-ion has renounced its mi¬ nority rights." He and tbe Notables who undertook such renuiiciiition do not con¬ stitute the Jewish people any more than the Three Tailors of Tooley Street con¬ stituted the 'people of England, the Treaties conferred rights of citizenship which could not bc taken away by the Turkish Government, and conferred othei fundamental rights wliich cannot bc ahdi- cited, even by "Notables," without the consent of every individual concerned, and not even then without that of the I.A'ague of Nations, which is the custod¬ ian of these rights.
No Desire to Intervene
When the Minority Treaties were cn- tere<l into there was no desire on any body's part to intervene in matters which were of Turkish concern, but only in those whicli were of international con cern. In the interest of world peace it was regarded as essential that minorities in all of the nations affected by these Treaties should be protected and guar¬ anteed in the rights secured for (hem by these Treaties.
