l*l*aise Acting President of Zion¬ ist Organization of America for Work on Agency
OTHERS ALSO SAIL FOR
ZURICH CONFERENCE
NEW YORK—TribMte" was. paid to . Morris Rolhciibcrg, Acting Presicfent of the Zionist Organization of America;: on the occasion of his leaving for the. World Zionist Congress at Zuricli Monday night on the Berengaria, at a luncheon tendered to him by the Administrative Committee of the Zionist Organization of America . Friday noon at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, at which Mr. Jacob Fishman, Managing Editor of the Jewish'Morning Journal, acted as toastmastcr. , At the luncheoii Mr. Rothenberg^ who has been designated by the World Zion¬ ist Executive to conduct negotiations oh behalf of the Jewish Agency, announced that all outstanding differences had bccit disjiosed of in the final constitution of the Jewish Agency, that has bceii drawn up between, the Zionist and non-Zionist Committees in America. He pointed out^ however, that this constitutionmust be acted.upon by the Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization, and the World Zionist Congress Itself. He ex¬ pressed the hope, however, that the con¬ stitution as, at present drawn up, would be adopted, inasmuch as he feels that all Zionjst principles haye been adequately safeguarded, and inasmuch as it meets with the approval of the non-Zionist partner to the Jewish Agency.
A number of messages from oiitstand-. ing American Jews, in tribute to Mr. . Rothenberg; were read at the luncheon. Oiie of these was from Felix M. War- ¦burg, in which^he praised. Mr. Rothen- berg's sotind judgment and readiness to serve in;every good Jewish cause. His telegram read in part:
"I have had opportunity, to frequently admire his sound calm judgment and his readiness at all times to serve any good cause regardless of the sacrifice it would entail. In tbe hegotiations which had to take place between' the noil-Zionists aiid Zionists nobody has been as useful as he. HSs tact and sagacity and, more than any¬ thing else, his great fairness has ,niade him respected and admired by all of us even in the most difficult circumstances,"
Another message was received from Louis Marshall, who was unable to leave Sarariac Lake, where he is ¦vacationing, to attend .the luncheouK Declaring that "there is no man for whom I have a . higher regard tha'n Morris Rothcnberg," Mr. Marshall character]zc;d the Acting President of the Zionist Organization of. America 'as one whose "sweet reasonable¬ ness" ,has given him a high standing in the Jewish community, and won for him the . admiration and regard of alt American Jewish leaders. In his n^essage Mr. Mar¬ shall said:
. "He has the rare faculty of recogniz¬ ing that every question has,two sides ani| although he never sacrifices a principle to which he is attached, he respects the views of tlwse who honestly differ from those entertained by him. Moreover, he never forgets to be a gentleman. He cannot, for he is to the manner born.
"liis actions are. never hasty and are .always founded upon conscientious con¬ victions. He knows what it ineans to sacrifice himself to a cause, but after all. nothing ean be accomplished that is worth white without; forgetting the element of self. One who devotes himself to the attainment of an ideal must disregard hope of any regard save that.of a satis¬ fied conscience.: I know of nobody >vho better exemplifies-this thought than does our  friend,  Morris  Rothenberg."
Other messages were read from Nathan Straus, L D. Morrison and Dr. Israel Goldstein.
Among those at the luncheon who. paid tribute to Mr. Rothenberg fbr his serv¬ ices to Zionism and to all Jewish causes, w^re Judge Bernard A. Rosenblatt, Baruch Zuckcrman. Mrs. Archibald Silverman, Dr. I. M. Rubinow^ Meyer W. Weisgal, and Abraham Goldberg,
III expressing thanks for the expression of friendship which had been tendered to him in the form of the luncheon, Mr. Rothenberg declared that Zionism had given his life that content which no other cause or ideal could do. In dfscussing Ithe future of the Zionist moveiiient, particularly as a result o£ the formation of the extended Jewish Agency, Mr. Rothenberg declared that he is not afraid for the future of the Zionist movement, both because of the high idealism of the (Continued on page 6)

CLEVELAND, OHIO.—The removal of the chihlreii of the Jewish Orphan f Ionic tlii.s week from the buildings that have sheltered dcpeiuleiit Jewish chiWren f ronr the middle wc.'it since 18(38 to the new cottage type Honie. .situated on a thirty acre campus In a suburb attracted \vldespre:ul and favorable attention in thia city!
Leading newspapers featured the event. Under a ca|>tion "Gee, what a Home for Oliver 'l">vi.st," Roclif Lovelaiid, a special writer for the ClcvcUmd Plain Dealer, tells of his [Hirsoiial visit, to the new Home a.s follows:
"Dear Oliver Twist: '   '¦'
"You made a terrible mistake by living wheh you did. This business of. being an orphan is vastly diilferent today,
"We weilt out yesterday to Belvoir and Fairmont Roads, University Heights, and saw workmeii finishing-up a group oi buildings. They were lovely buildings, Oliver—much grander than any you'ever dreamed of. Young Diidlcy Brumbaugh, the photographer (lie has an elegant ice cream suit) said: "I got.to hurry. Won¬ der what schbol this is? Wish wc could find that orphanage."
**Well Oliver, that w'as the orphanage, although you'd neyer know? it in .a million years. It's called the Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home,: and servies two districts of the Independent Oi'dcr of B'nai B'rith. I wouldn't niind being an orphan—oiie of their orphans—myself;
Bctter'n the Old One.
"They used to haye the orphanage at uOOO Woodland Avenue S.. E,, and did right well in raising np worth while mien and women. But it looked like an. or¬ phanage, and there were- no birds sing¬ ing, for there wereno trees.
"For 02 years they operated there, Oliver, and they never had' a drive for funds because men and women kicked in money whenever it" was needed. Then several years ago they started a campaign for money foi* n new plant and raised $1,400,0,0,0.,.

A Real Campus
'The Ijuiklings ran jirouiicl in a half ellipse, the administration building run¬ ning straight across the ends. It con¬ tained vocational class rooms, adminis¬ trative ofllces, a beautiful library and cen¬ tralized flcpartnicnts for distribution of supplies.
"Around the ciinipus—it's a real cam¬ pus, Oliver—were five duplex . cottage uhlts, each representing two cottages. You'd never know this was -an orphan¬ age, Oliver. Every cottage will have a house mother, a piano, a play room, pantry, dining room, living room, library and study room. There will be large, pretty bed rooms, with shrubbery and flowers oil  the ground heloW,
"In the heart ofthe campusis a chapel —and the suu shines blue into the dome. To the east is the hospital, with an isola¬ tion wing. In the southwest corner is' the superititeiidciit's house, and to the southeast is  Alumnae Hall.
"Thai; last is what you'd fall for, Oliver. That's what they'll all fall for. It has a swimming pool made of lovely white tile and locker rooms for boys and girls, and upstairs is the gymnasium. A stage is at one end of the gym, and eyes are cut high in the wall at the qpposite end.   Movies,' Oliver, and right good fun.
"And there's an athletic field, and there will be a concrete runway for roller skating. The tablets of the old building will be, missing, for it is the attitude of the; board "that no child .should be con- sciqu.s that there ..is any . distinction be¬ tween those who give and those who re¬ ceive.

"They're going to nioVc into the new buildings Atiguist 1 and maybe, Oliver, maybe we could both, slip in as members of, the gang. It might be worth the risk — for, boy, you ought to see that swim¬ ming pdoll"

London   Catholic -vHerald   Lauiictiies \  Attack on Jewish People
Ass|&rts  Jews  Responsible   for
Communist Crusade Against
Religion
. LONDON—^The Communist crusade against religion, including the Jewish rcligioii, was represented as a cami>aign engineered under Jewish influence in Rus¬ sia, in an article published in the "Catho¬ lic Herald" here.
The newspaper commented' on the ap¬ peal issued recently by.the Chief Rahbi of the British Empire, Dr. J. L. Hertz, in which the indifference of the Jewish world to the tragedy of Russian Jewry and to the.persecutionof the Jewish reli¬ gion in that country were deplored. The newspaper took the occasion to reiterate the charges current in Europe following the outbreak of the Bolshevik revolution, when it was asserted that the revolution was inspired and led by Jews hi order to "destroy Christianity."
The implacable hate of the Jew, whether in Russia or outside, finds an out¬ let in the wish for, utter destruction of the Christian world, which alone would satisfy th^ Jewish hatred of Christianity. If every wholesale power were to pass into Jewish hands, similar to Russia, the Russian hbrrors would be repeated," writt-s the "Herald."
"The Jews desire vengeance'and retri¬ bution through the destruction and debase¬ ment of the Russian people, caring little for the sufferings of their own people if. they can sec their enemies crushed. Jew¬ ish money is doing the deadly work of exploitation and ^enslavement. Russian jewels and concessions were purchased through Jewish hands." ' The "Catholic Herald" also launches, an attack against Zionism, declaring that "Ramsay MacDonald went to E^alcstine, where he has st;e]i the betrayal of the . Ai^abs. But in the quarrel between the Jews and the Arabs, the Zionists had MacDonald's ear, influenced by a clever Jewish secretary."
"If a Jewish criminal is tried," the "Herald" continues its tirade, "he is al¬ ways represented as English, Irish or Russian, but never as a Jew,"
The paper concludes with the state ment that it feels no enmity towards Jews as such, because "many are kind and charitable and their family life is often exemplary, but, taken as a whole, their power and influetice are manifestly against the Christian world."
MINSK—Many houses on the streets Samkov and Novonitasnizka were flooded following extraordinarily heavy rains, considerable damage was caused. Most of tlie houses are occupied hy Jewish workers.
lishcd in the current issue of the Newark "Jewisli Chronicle", hy Rabbi Solomon Foster.
¦Rabbi Foster, who attended the Cen¬ tral Conference of American Rabbi.s seS:7 sions in Detroit, declared there that some of the Christian members of the Goad- will Committee regarded the good-will work as an outpost of Christianity and so reported to their respective bodies.
'¦Let us consider," Rabbi Foster writes in the "Chronicle," "some of the facts that confirm our suspicions tbat while many Christian leaders and .laymen met our Jewish leaders and laymen of all parties in the most friendly and sincere spirit of good-will, there were those be¬ hind the scenes who could not help but srnile at the 'innocence of these people.' In the first place, it was the hardest thing tbe: world to get the representatives of the Federal Council to a meeting, to talk matters over and to formulate our rules of procedure. Excuse after excuse was given for not callnig meetings at such and such a time.. And not infrequently meetings called for a,definite date were changed for what might be called insuffi¬ cient reasons. When meethigs were in session it was not imusuai for a promi¬ nent member of the committee to be pres¬ ent for a quarter' of an hour to i>artici- pate ih a discussion and then to ask to be excused ou the ground that there were vitaF matters in other parts of the Fed¬ eral Council building that required their attention. It is not claimed that this pro¬ cedure was deliberate or insincere, but it did lead to the most-complete frustra¬ tion of every effort at clarity of thought and consistency in act that all who really love good-will need for their guidance. AH the while our Jewish people were receiving stirring appeals -for .money to support the machinery of good-will that was presumably operating,,as. the circu¬ lars stated, Avith the sanction of the Cen¬ tral Conference of American Rabbis and the Federal Council of the Churche-s of Christ in America. ,
"Another discovery that brought the Jeivish leaders to doubt the efficacy of good-will as. it was being handled by the Ciiristian group was the fact that the control,: management and direction of the seminars, dinners, conferences, etc., were the prerogatives: arid duties, of the Fed¬ eral Council. The Jewish participants were not, with very few exceptions, and their with limitations, invested with any degree of authority.. Everything, was carefully arranged so that all we had to do was to endorse and follow, the leader put ourselves in the position of obstructionist or rebel.
"Since no one of the Jewish members of the,joint committee on good-will re¬ calls the circumstances of the vote on the very vital matter of proselytizing among Jews,.no charge of any kind can be made, but it is illuminating, to say^ the least, to find in the ininutes of meetings of the joint conimittee on goodrwill the decision not to recommend to^ the constituent groups that make lip the Federal Coiin cil the. disconthiuance of missionary activiiies among the Jews. If these same Christian gentlemen in sonic other grmip aud in some other place had yoted to do their best to win the Jews to Christian thoughts and ways, 110 sensible Jew would have protested, because he woiild know how to answer and what to do. . But think of the anomolous, indelicate and intolerable character of the insult admin¬ istered to the Jew while being entertained under the hospitable roof of Christian good-win, It would not surprise u^ to learn that the United Presbyterian Gen¬ eral Assembly that criticized ihe Federal Council for being too liberal towards the Jews, as recorded in the Jewish Dally Bulletin of June 10, cut its appropriation only one-half and not altogether, because the Federal Council was able to prove that its committee on good-will was not quite as benevolent as it seemed, bo,th as the minutes of the joint committee showed and as the rei>orts of the committee to the Federal Council convention itself abundantly reveal.
Good-Will as Understood by Federal "Here is undoubtedly the greatest cause (or suspicion that wre must re¬ gretfully face. The last report (1028) used such phrases to describe the basis of the good'Wilt movement as these: *Aa a committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, how¬ ever, there are vast possibilities for us to practice the principles of love in our relations with the Jews.   Cnotracts and
of.Hfcbrew life and thought.and varied interests have been open to the commit¬ ee ill almost too great a profusion during the last four years of its activities. It however, of the utmost importance tliat Christianity in America should have some outpost of good-will, such as our comniitlee,.seeking understanding and co¬ operation with; the' contemporary repre-^ scntalivcs of the race and religion of which Jesus Himself and the prophets vvere a part. The very existence of this committee is. a testimony of inestimable value to the spirit of Chpst and His , modern disciples..' ¦      ' ..
"Only an overzealous fanatic on good- wiir could  fail  to  understand  Dr. An-, thony's meaning of the sentence, Tt is of the litmosi importance that Christianity
America shoidd have some outROSt of good-will; such as pur committee, seek¬ ing understanding and cooperation with the contemporary representatives of the race and religion of which Jesus Himself and the prophets were a part.' An oui- post, whether from a rnilitary or commdr- cial point of view, represents the advance . guard of a host bent on mastery. The outpost, innocent and friendly as it may seem at the beginning, is answerable to those who establish It. An,outpost pre¬ supposes a feeling of superiority, exploi¬ tation, subterfuge and domination. The 'vast possibilities' to which Dr. Anthony refers must be tlie wholesale conversions which the Federal Council hopes to reap a;mong,the riiodern representatives of their race and religion of which Jesus ,was a part. If Dr. Anthony were actuated'by gtiumie.gowl-will, and cherished sincere regard for. the Jewish people and .the Jewish religion, as his statements to iis implied, how could be have brpught him¬ self ironically to state that the contacts and cooperation, with Jewish groups and organizations, representing different wings of Hebrew life and thought and varied interests have been oi>ca to the committee hi almost too great a profusion? How could there be too much pf^ real friend¬ ship, too nmch of true understanding, too much of honest codperation? What he meant, in- view of all the circum¬ stances, involved, is easy to grasp and simple to state: the Jewish groups have really responded to the appeal of good¬ will, they have opened their lecture halls, pulpits,^ societies, conferences, etc., all over the land to hear our messages, but we have not had the time to prepare the special pleaders who, with love on their lips hut with contempt in their hearts, go through the land to beguile the sons and daughters of Israel.. On our part, . \ve know what to do to meet their over¬ tures in the future. Wc have known in the past how to judge those who c^led 'peacej peace' ivhen there was no peipe, not to know how to turn a deaf ear to their pleadings, to go about our business when they try to mislead us today," Rabbi Foster writes.
