Mr. Mencken "Enjoys" Himself
Our good n.iltimorc friend, Mr. Men¬ cken, is haviiif .1 good tjnie. He has yottun out a card, wliich he is circulating widely among his friends. Mencken is the author of the card, but the card purports lo be thai of a Rev. I. IMan- dolowitz. A business card for the rev¬ erend gent. On it appears: Rev. I. Mali- dolowitz, Sanitary Mohel, Schadchen and Schocchet—D.iy and Niglrt Service, Sew uig Machines Neatly Repaired.
Beneath this inscription is: Agent for llic celebrated Ueth Horoil Vineyards of Adnmnun, Palestine Ritual wines and liciuors for all occasions.
Beneath this second line: Rents Col¬ lected, Funerals Conducted. Low Wed¬ ding Fees.
And so on—you gel the general idea.
Strangers May Kiss It's a strange thing about this Mr. Mencken. He can say most anylhing about the Jews, and you simply can't get angrj about it. One can no more get ex¬ cited about these things from Mencken than if they had crane from Ben Hecht. Just let us assume for a moment that some. non-Jew had. said some of the things Mr. Hecht recently said in his opus: "Jews Without Love." I daresay the .American Jewish Congress would have issued a broadside against him. But Mr. Hecht says it—a Jew says it and there s not a murmur. Strangers may kiss; as the movie caption has it, but they cannot curse. But friends may curse .•III they want. And I suppose, the fact that wc do not even get offended at this raillery of Mr. Mencken is that we kiioW that down deep in his heart, he is in¬ capable of prejudice.
Publicity Prince Passes The king of the ballyhoo—Harry Reichenbach_is dead. Some m,iy tiues. ion the ethics of Ihe profession of pub¬ licity, of which craft Reichenbach was easily the foremost practitioner. But this monarch of the realms of publicity cer¬ tainly contributed lo spice up life--and the keeper M fhe Celestial Gates, I am inclined to think, will wink his eyes at a lot of things, when he sees a fellow like that coming along.
I imagine that up there, they have a longer list of virtues for winch they give you credit than down here. If you have say, pepped things up a bit, for a some- times hnresome world, I shouldn't be sur- pri.scd if the Celestial Bookkeeper prop¬ erly credits yon. There is a Midrash I am told, that up in the other world some one asked Elijah, who would in¬ herit eternal life. And Elijah pointed to an undistinguished, obscure chap. "He cheered his neighbors." That was virtue enough.
Sins' of Publicity ¦I know the sins of publicity. You re¬ call the story of the publicity writer in the movies, who described the new movie as entrancing.' The director looked at copy 'Entrancing? Is that all you can say for It? Why, that almost looks like a knock."
That is one of the sins of the pub Iicitv man. Exaggeration—feeding the public on a diet of impossible superla¬ tives. . . Of this sin, Reichenbach was largely tree. He sought not so much to impress but to interest you. When he registered a hon at.one of the hotels, along with a man T. R. Zann, he knew quite well that nr a day or two, the truth would be out. 1 here was no permanent misrepresenta¬ tion involved. He was there merely to excite the nublic interest.
Sons of the Fathers ^ When Hendrik Van I^on. the writer learned that his son had gone in for prol ;,«s/ional interpretative dancing, he said; If Otto Kahn can let his boy, Roger direct an orchestra and cavort about in airplanes, why can,'t my son become a professional dancer?"
Young Kahn is not the only son of wealthy Jewish parents who apparently IS not following in the financial paths of their fathers. One of Mr. Warburg's sons IS, I believe, a cellist of considerable ?r"",f'^.„ '^'^ ¦""= "' »'"= 'ale Louis Marshall s sons is a forester and botan¬ ist.

Soon, if this keeps up, we shall have an Amalgamated Union of Checker and Chess Players, a branch of the American federation of Labor. And a very large numhcr of (he laboring checker play¬ ers will be Jews.

17th   Annual   Flower   Day Throughout; the   Country Brings $40,000 for J. N.F.
Encouraging  Results   Reported
Despite Depression and Bad
Weather
The results of the I7th annual Flower Day of the Jewish National Fund of America, one of the two annual popular collections for the Palestine Land Fund, held on Sunday, June 7, and, in some communities, also on Sunday, June 14, were announced in a statement issued by Mr. tfarry J. Kahn, Acting President of the Jewish National Fund of America.
A sum of approximately $40,000 is the total of the collections held in nearly 300 communities with the active cooperation and assistance of liimdrcds of volunteers, recruited from among all groups and fac¬ tions of the Zionist movement. In New York City alone. Flower Day hroURht in the amount of approxiinately |15,000.
The mood of the Jewish masses, actU' atcd by the psychological cfTcct of the economic depression and of the difficult political situation pertaining to Palestine, was reflected in the result of the collec¬ tions in a striliiiig manner) according to the statement of Mr. Kahn. Five dollar bills, which were fr«]ucntly found in the J. N. F. boxes in.previous Flower Day collections, have disappeared entirely Dollar bills were also rare. Even fifty- cent pieces and quarters were not to be found often, The collection was virtually .an outpouring of dimes, nickels and pen¬ nies, the offering of a, mass- which is strongly under the influence of the busi¬ ness depression, but is deeply interested and eager to demonstrate its abiding loy¬ alty to the ideals of Zionism and in help¬ ing in the solution of the main issue in Palestine today, the problem of the land.
A TRADER IN REPUTATIONS
By Sidney Wallach
{EDITOR'S NOTE: Harry L. Reich- ejibttch ivas oue of the_ strangest Ameri¬ cans of the jiintf and modern age. His zwrk was to bring fame to those xvhp wished it. ¦ In .pursuing his work he man¬ aged to achieve a real fame of his oivn. This article is written for tlic Ohio Jewish Chronicle.]
Harry L. Reichenbach, who died last week, a year before he attained his fiftieth birthday, achieved a rare distinction dur¬ ing his lifetime: he was in possession of the key to fame.
Once, in a moment of forgiveable boast fulness, he said that, given enough fmids for his purposes, he could bring about a war between two or more of the Balkan countries; that, given a not too ugly young woman, with no exceptional charm or ability, he could, within a fort¬ night, have her name emblazoned in the glory of Mazda lamps on the great white way.
People believed him' because he had ih the past done just such thingg.
Reichenbach, the son of an. undistin¬ guished Jewish family of Frostburg, Maryland, can best be'introduced in the language of the barker: "Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and see the marvel of the modern age, the silver king, who turned notriety into gold pieces; the prince of publicity experts, the ruler of reclaim, the basha of ballyho." But there -is more to be told of him than the circus handbill would emblazon. He could lie and chciat and deceive in the pursuit of his tasks, and he did, glibly and gladly, when¬ ever it was necessary. It was part of his, profession. But in his personal and pri¬ vate life he was of extraordinary recti¬ tude and of unusual charm.
By his works he can be acclaimed a lat¬ ter day Barnum, whose strategy was directly traceable to the stunts of the gentleman from Bridgeport, Connecticut. He may. have had a direct inspiration from the tactics of Ihe Barnum organi zation with which he was at one time connected. Fundamentally, he v^VlS a bar¬ ker of fame, but he applied exceptional talent and intelligence in a small time cir¬ cus. Later he was to extend Ins spiel platform in behalf of the great Ameri¬ can circus that is Hollywood, and even on the international stage, whefe war and peace were reshaping the world in the eventful years that followed 1914.
There are legions of stories about him of which the Collowing are best known and perhaps the best:
Some years ago a strapping bronzed fellow registered as T. R, Zann at a New York hotel and requested that his private piano be crated and wrapped, to be sent up to his suite. . The next morning a hotel waiter called to take Mr. Zann's breakfast order and was surprised to be asked for twenty-five pounds ,.oE raw steak.
The waiter drew back in astonishment,
"It's for Leo," the hotel guest remarked casually and pointed to the piano crate, where a lion was lazily licking away at his paws.
Before the morning was over the hotel management-had evicted 'the tenant and his strange pet. But by that time the news hawks were on the job and their huma:i interest stories describing the episode made the front pages of the dailies. It was freely granted, as Mr. Reichenbach had foreseen, that the opening of a First National Picture called "Tarzan Among the Lions" was in no way obscured be¬ cause of the newspaper publicity sur¬ rounding Mr. T. R. Zann and his jungle pet.
At one time Reichenbach was engaged to promote the sale of a painting which has since-become famous under the title "September Morn." In a flash he had found a way to sensationalize it. First he had the painting exhibited in the win¬ dow of a Fifth Avenue store. Then he hurried down to the East Side, where he picked up half a dozen ragged youngsters aild hired them, to stand before the win¬ dow in rapt admiration pf the charms that were exposed. With his scene all ready he telephoned Anthony Comstock who at that time was the Pooh Bah of the vice raiders and described the scene of the apparent corruption of the morals of the city's youth.
Comstock acted promptly. The sensa¬ tion that followed won the picture acres of front page space, sold it at a high price and made it one of the most familiar wall decorations in the American home. ¦ There was still another time when sev¬ eral turbaned Turks registered in a city hotel and the word passed around tjiat they were in town oh a mysterious Ori¬ ental mission. The excitement was keen when it was reported that they were trav¬ eling around the world on a mission to find the daughter of their ruling sheik, the Virgin of Stamboul. It did not mat¬ ter that the Turks were later discovered to be ham actors hired for the occasion by a well known publicity man. The pic¬ ture. "The Virgin of Stamboul," had plenty of advance publicity.
Then there was the day when New York awoke to find placards all around the city in which the words "Outside tbe Law" initialed "P. D." were boldly con¬ spicuous. Most observers took it for an anti-crime campaign by New York's finest. It developed subsequently that Priscilla Dean was starring in a picture called "Outside the Law."
Reichenbach once revealed that he had planned a movie stunt that never came off. He had planned a capture of the actress, Clara Kimball Young, by Mex¬ ican bandits and a rescue expedition by the United States cavalry. Of his work with the allied commission in Italy he commented that "I got the Italians so worked up that they would fall down antl worship Wilson's picture ev^ry morning before they gave Ihe Pope a thought"
But he was not always so boastful of
his achievements.    More often than not
j he went about hia plans quietly until the
flare of mighty publicity suddenly shed

17th World Zionist Congress Adopts American
Economic Program for Development
of Modern Palestine
Congress Votes to Establish Economic Corporations in All Coun¬ tries to Aid Industry of Palestine and to Stimulate Investments There; To Be Independent of Zionist Executive
BASLE: The creation of .specially or¬ ganized economic corporations to be es¬ tablished in every country of the world' to stimulate investments in Palestine and to aid Palestine indu.stry was approved at this morning's plenary session of the Zionist Congress which adopted a reso¬ lution of the economic committee to this cfTcct.
By approving this resolution the Con¬ gress voted -for the separation of eco¬ nomics from political afTairs and the re¬ moval of Palestine economic work from the control of the Zionist Executive, an idea first advanced ten years ago by Jus¬ tice Louis D. Brandeis. The Congress passed the resolution after debating it all morning. An amendment offered by the I-aboritc.<i, which proposes that tlie Jewish National Fund, the principal Zionist land- purchasing agency, and the Keren Haye¬ sod, the chief financial instrument of the Jewish Agency, should be encouraged to intensify their national economic activities simultaneously with the establishment of the new economic corporations, was in-, corpora ted into the resolution.
One such corporation is already in ex¬ istence in Ihc United States, the Pales¬ tine Economic Corporation.
The resolution provides that in the fu¬ ture economic work in Palestine should not be conducted by the Zionist Executive^ but by specially organized economic cor¬ porations acting independently of the Zionist Executive, the latter being con¬ sulted only regarding the organizatior and personnel of these corporations.
The tasks of these corporations will be to stimulate safe and profitable private investments in Palestine, tb assist small investors, tp attract large capital for in¬ dustrial enterprises and. concessions, to organize the marketing of Palestine prod¬ ucts and to study opportunities for open- in up new fields for Palestine indus¬ try.
In the course of the debate, Isaac Nai- ditch, a member of the economic cqnimit- tee, outlined why the separation of eco¬ nomics from politics was necessary. He, emphasized that the economic combina¬ tions practiced until now by the Execu¬ tive had proved impractical, adding that economic affairs need authority and ex¬ perts. He urged that the new corpora¬ tions maintain contact with the Execu¬ tive, but that the Executive should have no control over them.
Israel Brodie, chairman of the eco¬ nomic committee of the Zionist Organi¬ zation of America,'presented- the-Ameri¬ can   point   of   view   on   the   resolution

which ifi in line with the pre-Congress decision of the Zionist Organization of America that a soundly conceived pro¬ gram of economic development in Pales- line planned to attain definite objectives within a limited numhcr of years can best he carried out by private or semi- private institutions such as the Palestine Electric Corporation, Palestine Potash, Lid., and the Palestine Economic Cor¬ poration.
Mr. Brodie presented a dctallctl bro¬ chure entitled "A Program.for the Ac¬ celeration of the Absorptive Capacity of Palestine." In this pamphlet he urged the shifting of emphasis to the stimula¬ tion and rapid development of industry and commerce. Pointing out that Jeivish agricultural colonization, while of the ut¬ most importance, is limited by the amount of land and the fact that large public funds will not be forthcoming in the next few years, he said that Jewish ur¬ ban immigration has ¦ practically limitless possibilities if industry and commerce can be developed to provide employment for the new comers.
Rcconmiending the concentration of re¬ sources in 'a selected number of key in¬ dustries which are likely to exercise the widest influence upon the whole economy of the country and which will vitally enlarge the capacity of Palestine to ab¬ sorb the largest-number, of-immigrants in the shortest possible time, he proposed the creation of the following organiza¬ tions :' ¦:     .
1. A citrus growers'  exchange,    2. A mortgage bank for urban loans.    3.   An engineering  and  contracting  corporation . provided with modern equipment and a ^ trained personnel so that Palestine con¬ struction contracts would not he awarded to foreign contractors.   4.    A factoring ' corporation to furnish credit to manufac- tiir^rs.
He also urged the development of small citrus plantation holdings by organizing an amply capitalized corporation wliich should acquire and develop adequate and suitable areas, steps to inform the Jews outside of Palestine that that country can now absorb capital and men with no greater than those who attend economic undertakings in other parts of the world, and the mobilization of American capital for Palestine Investment by organizmg corporations for specific undertakings, the creation of so-called Palestine corpora¬ tions and the regulation of investment by the "capitalist" immigrant.
9225,000,000 in Jewish Capital Entered Palestine in First Decade After War; $192,000,000 Was Private Investments
BASLE—(J. T. A.)—In the first decade after the World War some $225,000,000 in Jewish capital entered Palestine, of which about $192,000,000 was introduced by private investors and about $33,000,001) brought in through Zionist public funds, Israel Brodie,.chairman of. the economic committee of the Zionist Organization of America, told the Zionist Congress today in out¬ lining the .American Zionist viewpoint on the economic development of Pales¬ tine.'. ¦ ,',     ,
(pf the total sum that entered the country, $28,000,000 was devoted to the construction of dwellings for immigrants, $40,000,000 was used in agricultural colonization, $20,000,000 was invested in-trade and industry, hospitals, health institutions and sanitation accounted for $8,000,000 and Jewish education ab¬ sorbed $7,500,000, Mr. Brodie pointed out.
He also asserted that at the close of the War the population of Jewish agricultural settlements was estimated at 12,000 and in 1929 it had increased to 38,777.- In 1919 the Jewish population dependent on industry, amounted to a few thousand, but by 1930 Jewish industry was directly sustaining 33,000. In March, 1930, there were in Palestine 2,C88 Jewish Industrial enterprises, em¬ ploying 11,349 persons, paying about $3,100,000 in wages annually, producing merchandise (in 1929) valued at $10,500,000 and having a total capital invest¬ ment of about $17,000,000, Mr. Brodie declared.
