Mr. Ahialiimi IJcriiian, j the President of tlu- Hcbiew Sheltering .md linmiirrant Aid :>o(,iety of Aim-riLfi (niAS), returned last viiick nn the b S. Majestic Mr. Ht-inian \isitKd l»ol,ind.

At a special meeting of the Roard of Directors of Hias held Thursday, Septemher 22nd, Mr. Herman presented a ])re1iminar> report He stated that conditions in Eurojie arc still very bad and it is much more a question of doing coubtruetue work to enable the unfortu¬ nates to rehabilitate themselves than of givinff temporary aid. Many Jews, and notably those of Poland, arc desirous of  leaving   for  other countries.
"In Roumania, conditions arc deplor¬ able, especially among the Jewish Wan¬ derers who found refuge in that coun¬ try and who arc in constant danger o£ being expelled. The refugees arc heavily taxed in or<lcr to be able to remain in that country,
"It is this phase of the situation, namel> that of cmiRration. which I have discussed with the Ica ami the Eniig- dircct and with leading Jews. I have come back absolutely convinced that the new activities of Ht.ts leading to the settlement of Jews in South Amcricati countries will prove a Godsend to Jew¬ ish wanderers."
Mr. Herman reported that the work of preparintj emigrants for Ihe new lands of settlement was progressing very fa¬ vorably and that he had come to the conclusion that it shoukl he extended as quickly as possible. He found that in¬ tending emigrants were very eager to ai'ail themseKes of the language classes, trade courses and agricultural training afforded them under the new plan put into efifcct by Hias in conjunction with the Ici and the Einigdircct. The lead¬ ers of European Jewr> expressed them¬ selves very hopefnlly of the successful issue of this new work from which they expected a great deal.
Whilst in Europe Mr. Herman met groups of tMi^igraiiti leaving for South America. These groups consisted of young people, sturdy, energetic and quite ready to adjust themselves to the new (.omlitions they would fmd in the coun¬ tries to which thej were going.

At the beginning of our big drive on April 20th, 1926, Mr. Schan¬ farber announced as our slogan. "ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL IN LIVING AND IN GIVING." This beautiful slogan has been adhered to most faithfully and the rank and file of our people in Coluni¬ bus have been convinced that the idea of a Jewish Comniunity Chest as conceived by Mr. Schanfarber is a most cot'nniendable one.
Now that we are completing our>econd year of service, Mr. Schan¬ farber and his splendid co-workers trust that the spirit of the above- mentioned slogan will continue to inspire us and to imbue us with a keener and more vigorous desire to help the meritoridus causes for which we have been united.
May the true spirit of benevolence and brotherly co-operation ani¬ mate ns, so that we will perform our duties with thanks to God for our ability to do soi

You will ask who is this striking gen¬ tleman? Why has he become so popular with tbc great masses of the people in the Uadg'er State and other states of the Union ^ The unswer is that be is the most successful as well as the mus (fiicient State Treahurer wbieh Wiscon¬ sin lias c^er had Ue numbers his fol¬ lowers by  the thousands.
