NEW YORK.—The statement of Dr. Judah L. Magnes, Chancellor of the He¬ brew University, calling upon the Zion¬ ists to abandon their political ambitions in Palestine and to establish for them¬ selves a cultural center and aid in the establishment of an international Holy Land for Jew, Christian and Moslem alike has had the widest repercussion in the United States, creating sharp divi-*- sions of opinion ainong responsible Jew¬ ish groups and personalities.      ¦
The conduct and utterantcs of Dr. Magnes were repudiated by the American Jewish Congress, Rcspo.nding to the re¬ quests of tiie various organizations throughout the Country which are affil¬ iated with it,'tho American Jewish Con-: gress issued the following statement, through its Administrative Committee, after a sijccial inecting called for that purpose. -        '   -
The Admiiiistralivc Comuiittcc of the American Jewish Congress expresses Its sense,of outrage over the utterances of the Chancellor of the Hebrew University which have come from Palestine. Wc deplore the utter irresponsibility which has been exhibited by one holding so high an ofiicc. Wc believe that .th6 action in relation to Palestine, especially at this time o^ crisis should bp taken only by the duly constituted  authorities.
"The recent utterances in Palestine have broken what has, since the disaster of August and Seiiteniber, been the vir¬ tually unbroken front of the Jewish peo-. p!c, plachig its confidence in the reiadiness and capacity of the Agency to act in pro¬ tection of pur honoF ahd iii defeiisc_ of our rights and labors in the rebuilding of Palestine.
",To speak iii terms .of concession that are, tantamount to surrender .and at: n time when the British Commission of Inquiry is sitting in judgment upbii the recent events and their causes, is, in sub¬ stance, .to admit that terrorism including massacre, pillage aiid rapine, has availed to extort from the Jews terms which would have been unthinkable if those deeds of tcrrorization had not bceri wrought. _   ..
"We know that the time must come when Jews will meet again, as they have often met heretofore, with Arabs, in or¬ der to confer upon problems of common interest. But we,, as a people, cannot meet by our representatives with those, self-styled leaders of the Arabs who are responsible for the shedding of, the blood of our people. .
"We join in the deep feeiing .of .the Jewish people throughout the world that nothing could be more destructive than to call, as the.Chancellor pf the Hebrew University has called, for the relinquish¬ ment of the, Balfour Declaration. The Balfour Declaration was accepted by us and by the world, as a declaration of the resolve of Great Britain and the nations of. the world to facilitate the establish¬ ment of a Jewish Homeland in Palestine. Though up to this time its terms have not been fully redeemed,wc have confi¬ dence in. the integrity of the British Gov¬ ernment and of its ultimate purpose and ability fully to redeem its pledge to facil¬ itate our endeavor to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine, "That the Chancellor should call upon

Declaration, would become an instnunent of tyranny .which would defeat lIIic just aspirations of the Jewish people and the purposes of the British .Government which have been sanctioned and confirmed by the civiliiccd world...
."Mo-st of all we deplore thenu'sleading impression created by the utterance of the Chaiu'cllortbat there is an irreconcilable conflict * between the Jewish National Home in Palestine and. an . Interna¬ tional Holy Land for Jew, Christian and Moslem. Surely he must khow that no such antithesis exists. We Jews of all people most desire that in- addition to Palestine Iiccoming a Jewish National Hoiiic, it shall always be an international Holy .Laud wherein the religious rights of jew, Christian and Moslem shall alike K"; ^eld sa"red by men of all faiths.    '
"Fihajly,-we believe that, a most griev¬ ous wrong has been <lone to the Jewish people withhi and without Palestine, in¬ sofar as it has been summoned by the Chancellor tq' do justice and to make peace with the Arab, as,if the Jewish re-, builders of Palestine had been bringers of war and" doers of injustice to the Arabs. Thc-Balfour Declaration has re¬ sulted'in the emancipation of the Arab serfs of Palestine. The resettlement of Palestine has brought a' new economic; educational and social level of life to the .Arab people. To call, upon the Jews of Palestine to be iwaceable in relation to tlic Arab is to ignore and obscure the fact that the Jews have done everything that a people could do in order to estab¬ lish peaceable relations with the Arab.s. The Jewish resettlenicnt of Palestine has not only brbught healtlr and, well being to. the Arabs, but has found the Jews prepared to do everything in order to es tablish a just and lasting peace with their Arab neighbors," the statement con dudes.
The statement was ^^epared by a spe¬ cial committee appointed by the .A.dmin ^istrative Comnilttec, including Dr; Ste phen S. Wise, Honorary President of the .American Jewish, Congress; .Bernard S' Deutsch, President of the Congress; Hon. Carl Sherman, Israel N. Thurmaii, Baruch Zuckemian, Hon. Nathan D.

Under tin: au.'.-piccs of Zion Lodge, No <yl I, O. H. H., one of tjie finest and most iiiipressivc celebrations in the bib- tory of the local Jewish community u.is held at tho Progress Club, Lfi^ Parson'' Avenue, last Monday evening, No\c*m- bcr ^-'ftli, ill the presence of a large con¬ course of people. The occasion was the formal inductiori by Zion Lodge's De¬ gree Team of a class of candidates in honor of the Honorable Alfred M, Co¬ hen, International' President of tlie In¬ dependent Order of B'liai B'rith and ^nnc of America's most respected Jewish leaders aiid workers.
The - initiation ceremonies proceede<l with great solemnity, order, and deco¬ rum. The- awe-inspiring rnanner in which the'cardinal principres of the 1. G. B., B. were expounded to the 28 c.-^iidi- tlates is destined to remain indelibly im¬ pressed upon the minds and hearts of everyone who witnessed the. rites. The people.present were informed in a clear, forceful fashion regarding the , philos¬ ophy ancl the iriealism with which the order is bound up.
The .sublime teachings of the Inde¬ pendent Order of .B'nai B'rith as ex¬ emplified by the Degree Teanl will not only stimulate the interest of the^newly- indiicted candidates in tlie grCat work which the Order is, carrying on thru out ihc world; they' will also enhance their respect for the faith of Israel, its tradi¬ tions, its morals, its ethics, its literature, and its sacred, institutions of every de¬ scription. It is hoped by the officers of I Zion Lodge .that the ivarious group*; I which comprised , the large and repre¬ sentative audience took away with them the exalted and . sout-inapiring ,teachings of. the Order, together with an under¬ standing of' what its past achievements .';ifinify and what the Order proposes to do in the future.
The chief speakers at the Alfred M. Coheii celebration 'were two personal friends and admirers of the famous Cin¬ cinnati Jew:—Attorney Edwin J. Schan- . farber and Rabbi,Tobias Schanfarber of aiicago. Brother Ed spoke briefly re¬ garding the Order's ritual, and its mani¬ fold philanthropic activities. Rabbi Schanfarber dwelt at length on the spir¬ itual and cultural aspects of Judaism, stressing the importance of more and more knowledge on the,part pf laymen regarding Jewish affairs. He also ad- vacated in an eloquent fashion the "mis¬ sion theory" of Reform Judaism. Others who spoke at the meeting >ere Melville D. Frank, the newly-elected member of the Columbus City Council, and David Goldsmith, an ex-leader of ttie local Aleph Zadik Aleph Fraternity. I
The musical program was furnished by the popular Hillel Choral Club, un¬ der the direction of Samuel R. Goldman. During the course of the meeting regret was .expressed by various speakers con¬ cerning the illness of Brother Isaac B. Jashenosky, and the fond'hope was ut¬ tered that he may speedily recover.
