Palestine, now that the formation of the Jewish Agency is entering into its final phase must and should become the con¬ cern of ail Jews, irrespective of group affiliation or shades of opinion, Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the Joint Dis^ tribution Committee an4 American Com¬ missioner of the Jewish Agency, declared ill an interview with the representative of the Jewfish Daily Bulletin^
Mr, Warburg, who returned several days ago from an extended trip to Eu¬ rope, said that during his stay abroad he concerned himself with four of the problems which have the close interest of many Jewish groups in the United States and in Europe.
Hebrew UnWeieity
The questions that he dcalth. with w.ere that of the Hebrew University, which was taken up at the meeting of the Board of Governors held in Lon¬ don, the drafting of the report of the Jewish Agency Commission, the situ¬ ation of the Jewish colomzation work in Soviet Russia in connection with the forthcoming development on  the  basis
Government and the necessity andex' tent of continuing the J. D. C. relief work in other European countries after the present program outlined in 1025 Will have been completed.
With regard to the Hebrew Uni¬ versity, the reports submitted to the Board of Governors and the decisions taken indicate fully that stieady progress is being made in the establishment and expansion of the Jerusalem seat of learn¬ ing, Mr. Warburg said. A meeting of the American Advisory Committee of the Hebrew University will shortly take place and following that meeting fiirther details of the plans of the Hebrew Uni¬ versity sponsors will be tiiade public. Work of Jewish Agency CommlBslon
"As to the work of the Jewish Agency Commission, -I was glad to observe that through thc efforts of the Jewish Telc- graphie Agency, the American Jewish and non-Jew ish public was enabled to have the full text of the Commission¬ ers' report and to obtain an opportimity to acquaint itself fully with the actual conditions and the. plans formulated fof
consolidation and later expansion. To translate the recommendations of the Jewish Agency Commission into actual facts will be the task of Dr. Weizmann and Mr. Ltfuis Marshall, who is now on his way back to the United States.
"Mr. Marshall, whose worlc during thc London conference was of inestimable value, will, I hope, find it possible upon his arrival in this country to make a statement with regard to the further plans which are to be adopted for cre¬ ating the machinery necessary. 'X must repeat what I said previously in London, that the deliberations of the London con¬ ference were most enjoyable and that all participants displayed a most sincere and earnest interest in the work.
An Obligation
' "I do feel and I hope that the feeling will extend to the entire Jewish com¬ munity in the United States, that the work for Palestine, as outlined by thc Jewish Agency Commission, is an obli¬ gation resting not only upon one group nor upon one set of individuals, but up¬ on the entire community," Mr. Warburg declared.
When asked for his opinion a,s to the criticism levelled against the recom¬ mendations of the Jewish Agency Com¬ mission concerning Ihe Kvuzoth and the demand that the settlers be required to sign individual contracts whh the colon¬ izing agency without the interference of any other body, Mr. Warburg expressed surprise that such criticism should be voiced at this moment before the actual regulations applying the recommenda¬ tions are formulated.
"Inf this matter, the Commission hiis felt that'sound business principles must be introduced and any fair-minded busi- (Contiuued on page 5.)

DAYTON—An appeal for new lead¬ ers who shall ab<;orl)' themselves with the city's interests and work for its welfare was made by Rev. Charles W. Hrashares, pastor of Grace M. E. church, when he spoke Thursday night, July I2th, in the Miami hotel at the dinner meeting where ^00 men and women of Daylon, rcp^e^cnting many creeds and coming from various' walks of life, gathered to say good bye to Rabbi Sam¬ uel S. M.iverberg, until recently spiritual leader of the Jewish Temple Center on Salem avenue.
"Thousands come into thc sky-^crap- ing petaLi of the city to extract its honey, hut who is there to put honey in ?" he asked. He decried thc prevail¬ ing tendency of industries to link up with outside capital, which has no in¬ terest or responsibility in the commu¬ nity.
"What arc we going to do about il?" he quc-tioiicd. "Thc John Pattersons are hard to find. True, the chief task of any ministerial person is in his own community, but no one can do his own particular task until he visions the needs of a whole city."
Eloquent Tributes Rev. Brasharcs, who has on many oc¬ casions exchanged pulpits with Rabbi Mayerbcrg, climaxed the many eloquent tributes vihich \vcrc laid at th^ feet of Rabbi and Mrs. Mayerbcrg throughout the evening. "The greatest thing about any city is its men and women," he said, "aud one of thc great things about the city of Dayton is th<it \ve know a man^ when he stands up i^tnong «w UUc a-, mountain peak. Leadership is a tre¬ mendous problem today, and the cham¬ ber of commerce realizes that no city can be great unlcsf, it has great citi¬ zens.
What a tremendous benediction re- h'gion is, but how tremendously we over¬ estimate the name of a particular re¬ ligion," he concluded, adding that "the greatest thing that could be said about Kabbi Muverbcrg is that he has prac¬ ticed the love his religion teaches." Sweetheart and Helper In making his response and bringing the program to a close. Rabbi Mayer¬ bcrg referred beautifully to his "sweet¬ heart and helper," Mrs, Mayerbcrg* "who has been most of my ministry, my inspiration, my hope and my cour¬ age," adding that "the true success of any man depends upon the loyalty of his hclpmalc."
Choked with emotion as he voiced the thanks of himself and Airs, M^er- berg for the many fine things said of them, he declared: "You have given us a treasure of affection aod true love that time cannot destroy, hut these moments will live in our hearts as long as God lets us live. Dayton has set a standard to so live and so strive that some day in some measure we may make recom¬ pense for the kind thoughts which you hold of us.
No One Too Great . "No mau is too great, too big or too fine to live in the city of Dayton. No man has grown to such capacity that he can feel he has left thc city behind. But my congregation has grown so respon¬ sive to mc that I envisioned the time within the next five years when I would have become a sleek, smug, complacent and satisfied being who would be con¬ tent, und when one is too content he begins to decay spiritually, mentally and morally.
"1 am leaving satisfaction, peace and happiness to go to new fields so that by the constant necessity of contention I will become stronger through having to buck the line every day. I am going out as an alumnus of Dayton. I came here as a novice. Dayton made it possible fur me to grow and serve in the gem city of all America.
The Dayton Spirit "I want to take with nie thc spirit of understanding, of love and of cour¬ age—the Dayton spirit—and to achieve in my new city wlrat you have acliievcil here. Its spirit of harmony makes it unique and I feel that my ministry has not been in vain. T go forth as an emis¬ sary of Dayton. W^here is there a city filled with men and women so motivated' by unselfishness who dedicate them¬ selves to the welfare of all? We hope to carry with us the ideals of Dayton (Continued on page 7)
