Local Organization Sends $2,000
to   Palestine   Emergency
Fund Headquarters in
New York City
Edwin, J. Schanfarber, chairman of the United Jewish Fund of Columbus, has forwarded a check' for $2000.00 to David A. Brown, chairman of the Palestine Emergency Fund in New York City. Just as soon as more of the local sub" sqribers to the United Jewish Fund reml[ their delinquent payments, Mr. Schan¬ farber will be in a position to make a more appropriate i^ontribution to the suf¬ fering Jews.of Palestine.
Although a number of cities in various sections of the country are inaugurating special campaigns on behalf of the Pales¬ tine Emergency Fund, it is the consensus of opinion of Columbus Jewry's leaders that this procedure be,not followed in this city.
Anyone who has been reading thp local dailies as well as the Ohio Jewish Chron¬ icle, .can readily understand the tragic plight of hundreds of Jewish families in Palestine as a result of the' recent pci- groms and persecutions by their Arab and Bedouin neighbors. It is. not nec¬ essary to go into any details, regarding this matter here. Suffice it to say that the situation in the Holy Land demands the earnest consideration''of every Ameri¬ can Jew jn whom beats the spirit' of his hoary ancestors.
Columbus Jews can do their duty by being more pr outfit in their remittances to the United Jewish Fund.
Tjiose who feel that they ought to make special contributions at this lime sliould make their checks payable to the United Jewish Fund of Columbus, Yus¬ ter Bldg., and the money will be for¬ warded, fo Mr. David A. Brown, chair¬ man of the Palestine Slniergency Fund.

NEW YORK—New York Jewry's, attitude toward the Palestine events was given expression to last'night at the mon¬ ster mass meeting held at"Madison Square Garden under the auspices , of a special committee composed of many JeWj ish organizations, in. the City of New York, The Garden, which has a seating capacity of 25,000, was overcrowded dntl many moving scenes were enacted at the second demonstration of New York Jews since the, massacres started in Palestine a week ago today; Samuel Untermyer pre¬ sided aild Senator William E. Bqra^i, Lt. Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, David A. Brown, chairman of the Palestine Emer¬ gency Fund ; former Congresshiaii Nathan D. Perlman, president of the I. O. B. A., Rabbi M. S. AfargoHes and others were the speakers.     ;. ,
The demands of American Jewry to the British government': as the result of the Palestine events were formulated in the following resolution which was. unani¬ mously adopted:
"The civilized world has been startled and horrified by the outrages perpetrated lipon the Jewish population of Palestine J ^by organized bands of fanatical Arabs. The Holy City has been desecrated and turned, into a battleground tinder the eyes of the Palestine Administration; charged with the duty of prescrviuK law 'and order in the country.    ,
"Air accounts point to the. fact that, these attacks upon Jewish Hfe and prop¬ erty were premeditated, concerted and well^organized. The - Arab aggr^ss'or.^ were unlawfully armed. The J^ws, par/- ticularly in the small outlying communis ties,' were taken, by surprise and put to the sword. Arab outrages reached the depths of'savagery! inCthe ancient city of Hebron," where scores of Jewish scholars and students, utterly defienseless, were brutally massacred. These events ha\t shocked mankind and filled every Jewish heart 'with horror and indignation, '
"The civilized nations have pledsfd themselves to^the Balfour Declara't'?" aiiri the Palestine Mandate.: Great Britain has assumed the responsibility of the Mandate civer Palestine, granted to it by the League of Nations. The Balfour Declaration upon which such itaudate is baisetl reads as follows:
' " 'His' - Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment in Pales¬ tine of a national home for the jewisli people, and will tfse'their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of that ob¬ ject, it being understood that nbthiiiE shall be done which may prejudice tbe civil and religKiHs rights of existing nou- Jewish communities iu Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by the Jews in any other country/
"Upon the strength of these pledges the work of the peaceful upbuilding of Palestine has been begun by the Jewish people; land purchased, cities and villages built, swamps drained, the solj cuUivateil, industries organized and educational and w-elfare institutions -r- including the University of Jerusalem — founded.
"Tens of thousands of oiir best mon and women have gone to Palestine to carry on the work of the redemption of the land from centuries of waste and desolation.
"The Jews of America, cooperating with the brethren of other lands, b^vc poured tens of millions of dollars into Palestine through the United Palestine Appeal, the Joint Distribution Committee, the Hadassah Medical Organization and other welfare agencies.
"The resulting ^economic progress has contributed to the health and v.'ell being of the entire, population and the welfare organizations have served the people ol the country, withotit regard to race or creed.
"We are resolved, to go forward with the peaceful development of Palestine, the re-establishment of the ancient honie^ land. We cannot be swerved by a hair's breadth from our purpose by outbursts ofprimitive savagery. The memory of our martyred dead must cause us to re- dedicate ourselves to our holy task.
"We appeal to the conscience of tlie world.
"We desire to express our confidence in the honor. and faith' of the Government and people of Great Britian. To them we now turn, that justice may be donti to the Jewish pebple, io the living and to
flic dead.
"Wc .charge the Administration in Pal- (-¦stiin; with laxity, incfliciency, incompe¬ tence iiiul criminal, neglect in'failing to prevent the' organization and arming of the Arab mobs,    i
"Wc further charge the Administration in Palestine with the deliberate disregard of ils obligations under the Mandate de¬ rived from the League of Nations, which calls not only for the prcservatimi oi the civil and religions rights of all but also tor active cooperation through the estab¬ lishment of the Jewish Homeland in Palestine by encouraging Jewish immigra- tiVin and colonization upon the soil.
"On Jielialf ,of the Jewish people of AniLTica we' do now therefore submit the following demands:'
The Demands
"1. That immediate steps be taken for the restoration of law and order, in Pales¬ tine. ¦
"-. That there be instituted an immedi ate and, thorough investigation, of the causes, leading to , the Arab ,outbreaks J ami that all who have been directly or indirectly guilty of inciting or perpetrat¬ ing the Iittacks he punished.      ¦
"•i. That all lax and incompetent ofli^ cjul.s in the adininistration in, Palestine, inchiding those who are not in sympathy with the, purpose of the Mandate, (je dis¬ missed. ..
"1. That the police force of Palestine be organized so as to include a large per- ciHtage .of JewSi and that adequate mili¬ tary forces be established to provide for the future defense oi the Jewish popula¬ tion. , -    ,
5. That the fullest compensation be hiade to the victims of the attacks, o» to their families, for Jewish lives lost and Jewish property looted or destroyed, 'ti. That provision be made for the opening of the doors of Palestine to an increased immigration in accordance with the spirit of the Balfour Declaration aiul the Palestine Mandate.
'7. That the "just settlement of the problem, of the Wailing Wall be imme¬ diately arranged through government cx- pro^>riatioi), after adequate compensation, iu recognition of the fact that the Wail¬ ing Wall is a ,Hoiy Place peculiarly sacred to the Jewish people, to be safe¬ guarded iri like manner as the holy places of Christians and Moslems.
"8. And finally we demand a com¬ plete and public restatement of the policy of the government of Gireat Britain that shall make clear and indubitable its h)ten- tion to carry into effect the purpose of the Balfoiii' Declaration and the Mandate over Palestine, granted to it by the League of Nations."
Wise Sends Message, Urges Closing of Passageway
A cabled message from Dr. Stephen S. Wise was read:     .
"In deepest sorrow for our martyrea de^ii Kedoshin mass meetihg should de¬ mand of British government immediate closing of Uharan oi>eiiing to Wailing Wall.
We would not change Mandatory Power if we could, but change there must be in England's attitude toward our just, aspirations as. recognized by the Balfour Declaration, and a new policy henceforth of genuine cooperation be¬ tween London and Palestine in building the; Jewish National Home,"
"^       .      , (iii\. Myers Y. Cooper

Spicgelman) editor of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The statement was to be presented at a mass" meeting jn New York Tuesday nifeht and theft broadcast to Jewish newspapers,ill every nook and corner.of the world. ¦
The Governor's message read as fol¬ lows:- "The people of Ohio extend their iriost sincere sympathy to those who have been victims of the outrage.s prepetratcd by the A.rabs upon the Jewish people of Palestine.
"They approve most sincerely the senti¬ ment and attitude expressed on the thir¬ tieth of August'by President Hoover."
