Jacob DeHaas coming back from Eu¬ rope, brings back at least one bit of breezy news to relieve the depressing tconomic heat. And that is—that Pares- tlne, economically, is faring much better than most . countries. _ Palestine and France, DeHaas believes, are feeling less of the effects of the depressio: than any other land.

Hias Appeals to Jewish Con¬ gregations   the   Country Over for Support
Money   Must   Be   Forthcoming
With Which to Carry on
the Work
NEW YORK—The Hebrew Shelter¬ ing and .Immigrant Aid Society of America (HIAS), -125 Lafayette Street, New York City, haS is.sued through its President, Mr. Abraham Herman, an ap¬ peal to Jewish congregations the coun¬ try over for support.
Mr. I-Ierinau in his appeal says:
"The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi¬ grant Aid Society of America (HIAS) is dependent solely for funds with which to carry on its work upon the voluntary contributions of the Jews of America. Part of these contributions come from appeals that are njade during the High .Holydays.in the various synagogues and temples in the Jewish communities iu the United States. In past years the officials of these congregations have kindly set aside one of the days of the High Holy- days during which the worshippers were appealed to for contributions. Hias is very grateful for this manifestation ol cooperation and support.
"In the name of the great cause Hias is serving and because of the urgent de¬ mands that are made upon the Society by. Jewish wanderers the world over, 1 want to appeal most strongly to the Rabbis, Presidents and Trustees of every J^ongrcgation of whatever shade of re- "gious view to permit an appeal to be made to bheir congregants for the com- irF ?'^r Holydays., I make this plea ahd*o^ tstronger this year because of the

largely one man owned and worked in
Palestine.
The depression is most severe, says De Haas, in the highly industrialized eountries, like Germany and the United States, where mass production prevails. Perhaps we shall have :to revise the Greeley dictum and say—go east, young man, to Palestine.
No Birth Control In Palestine De Haas sees another favorable sign for the future of Palestine in the in¬ creased birth rate and lowered death rate among the Jews of Palestine. The death rate of Palestine is the lowest for the Jews in any part of the world. That in itself, it seems to me, is saying a great deal for Zionism.
While the Arabs, too, have a high birth rate, .the: death rate among the Arabs is very high.
Chorieh as a Barometer Abraham Magida of the Zionist Or¬ ganization tells an interesting anecdote of the recent Zionist Congress.. A group of delegates, European and American, stood chatting. Finally, one of them uppcd with the inevitable—"How is the depression in America?"
"What's the use of asking that ques¬ tion?" interjected one of the European delegates. "It must be bad in America. Don't you know that Choneh isn't here?" Choneh as a Best Seller If you happen to know that picturesque character "who is "Ghoneh," you will haye no difficulty in getting the point. Without any visible .means of support for the last thirty years, he manages to go everywhere, attend al] conventions, .see everything, know who's who and what's what. He has solved the prob¬ lem of living without Socialism, Com¬ munism, or plain capitalistic work. And if the ingenuity of "Choneh" cannot find means to attend a world Congress of Zionism, conditions in America must be bad enough.
I understand that someone is gathering anecdotes and experiences of Choneh, preparatory to doing a book on him. It ought to be as full of spice as a salt cellar.
He Wires the Day My favorite anecdote of Choneh is a little incident that happened during the Arab disturbances in Palestine. Of course, Choneh was there then^ Choneh, as I have told you, is always theire.
Well, when news of the disturbances were published, few of the Jews of Palestine failed to get cables from American friends, inquiring after them. But alas, none came for Ohoneh.
Everybody was rushing to the cable offices to wire answers of reassurance- Was Choneh a dog that he.should send no wire? No, thrice no. He sat him¬ self down and sent a message collect to The Day, New York City. It was as laconic as one of Julius' Caesar's mes¬ sages. It read: "Ich leb." Signed: Choneh.
Camera's Kosher Cuisine Primo Camera, the giant Soiith Ameri¬ can heavyweight, is in training for the championship bout at a kosher hotel.
That ought to help decide thi; relative hygienic virtues of the kosher as against the "trefah" diet. We have had any number of statements pro and con about the kosher diet. Nothing so fair as I know of a conclusive nature. Some point to the relative immunity enjoyed by Jews in medieval plagues as evidence of the superiority of the kosher menu. Others point to the larger physiques of the non-Jew as testimony against it.
With regard to this latter contention^ the Jews of Rhodes furnish a challenge. They are_ all of a larger stature. An¬ thropologists have attributed this to the fact that the Rhodes Jews are largely porters. According to them, it's the lug¬ gage tliey carry that stretches their car¬ tilage, not the vitamines or calories.
At any rate, the Jews were the first people to become diet-conscious. Today, all the civilized world ifecognizes that tlicre is nothing more important than what put in your mouth. Indians, Jews and Walter Blumenthal 01 course, swine meat is the principal taboo of the Jewish diet. And it is an (Continued on page 4)

'Hias has written to every congrega¬ tion and I now make tbi^ public plea so that the response may be fruitful. Will those congregations who will accede to our request kindly notify the national of¬ fice, 425 Lafayette Street, to that effect?
"In the name of the Jewish wanderers who are flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone, I call upon the Jews of America not tb fail -Bias at this critical moment. May the New Year bring to the Jews of America and to the whole House of Is¬ rael the fullest measure of prosperity and every blessing."
Wickersham       Commission Raps Labor Bureau De¬ portation System
WASHINGTON, D. C—With two of its eleven members dissenting frorii the majority finditigs, the Wickersham Commission today issued a report severely criticizing the deportation system of the United States Labor Department on the grounds of its "unconstitutional, tyrannic and oppressive" methods. Further the report disposes of the general charge that the aliens in this country are responsible for a disproportionate share of the crimes committed, and recommends that a board of alien appals be established to take up deportation questions. _ As adopted and submitted to the president the report is for the most part a survey conducted by Reuben Opptenheimer, prominent Baltimore Jewish lawyer, which the Wickersham Commission has accepted as its finding and from which it has taken its conclusions.
The practices.to which the Commission objects are pointed out as inherent in the present system of immigration and de: portation. The immigration authorities have become detectives, prosecutors and judges and have thus been granted "three functions which we have found it safe in no otlier phase of life to instruct to any one individual."
Although concluding that the spirit of the Labor Bureau has for the most part been fair, striking instances are indicated of oppression, unfairness and unnecessary hardships. This is in violation of the fundamental law of the law which, the Commission points out, makes no distinc¬ tion between naturalized artd unnatural¬ ized, persons in the guarantee of "human rights."
. Mr. Oppenheimer's report is based on an abstract of 453 deportation cases many of which he witnessed personally. His further studies have led him to the conclusion that "the apprehension and examination of supposed aliens are often character] z(^' by methods unconstitu¬ tional, tyrannical and oppressive."
The usual judicial safeguards do not obtain in deportation cases,, Mr. Oppen¬ heimcr points out, despite rulings by the court that deportation involves funda¬ mental "human right" guaranteed by the constitution. "Despite the seriousness of the results pf deportation, the proceed¬ ings are private." Mr.'Oppenheimcr also states that while the deportation evils are inherent in the system more care should be exercised in selecting immigration per¬ sonnel.
In their seven page summary and com¬ ment on the Oppenheimcr report the Commission agrees that too much des¬ potism has been practiced in handling the deportation cases and that this has contributed materially to the general problem of law enforcement by keeping aliens in a constant state of apprehension as to their security in this country. "This situation prolongs and deepens the im¬ migrant's insecurity and delays his men¬ tal and moral stabilization in the country which he is seeking to adopt,"
[EDITOR'S NOTE: . In his coin-, pilalion of the forecast for the 19.^1^-^93^ theiilrical .teason, Mr, licndon has tjdth- ei^cd the fads about the Jeivish partici- paiion in- the Uroadway offerings. The article is expressly wrillcn for The Ohio Jewish Chronicle.
Technically the new theatrical season begins in September of every year. But there is open season' for theatre gossip ail year round while the first fruits of managerial labors begin to be seriously discussed around and about August. During this month the old and the newly budded playwrights are informed . that their plays will (or will not) go on the boards with the important date thereof clearly specified. Here again you must be on your guard against Broadway. Often,it has the habit, like the repeating record,- to talk of a play or a part again and again while nothing comes of the talk. More than once a manager an- nbunccd that he will produce a play only to change his mind. It is even whispered among the more suspicious followers of the contemporary theatre that a shoe string producer uses the fall theatrical forecast as a bait wherewitli to catch ready financial batkers. Here however are the reports as of the month of August. You may winnow away as you please.
It is unnecessary to enter at length upon the part played.by the Jewish pro- d^icers. Their name truly is legion. Nowadays at any rate it is impossible to conceive a season without its extra¬ ordinary quota of Jewish adventurers into the fortunes of the theatre who arc technically known as p|roducers. The old timers among them deserve a chapter apiece for their part in the contemporary drama.. In addition many new ones have come on the scene. The old group con¬ sisting, of the Shuberts, the Erlanger en¬ terprises, John Golden, Sam Harris, Green and Gensler, Schwab and Mandel, the Selwyns, Hammerstein and the Theatre Guild, has met with keen com¬ petition from newcomers to the "ranks, from men like Chester Erskin, Jed Har¬ ris, Eddie Blatt, Philip Goodman, Lew Leslie and a dozen or more others.
One significant absence froni the ranks of the producers this year will he the name of that grand old man, David Be- lasco. The others go on as before. Even Arthur Hammerstein who has met with many tosses and heartaches persists in his devotion to the modern muse of mii^ sical comedy.
As in the past the advance announce¬ ments make ample provision for the stars in the dramatic firmament. George and Ira Gershwin continue to contribute their tunes and lyrics to the gayety of Broadway. Eddie Cantor is reported to be writing skits for an Earl Carroll mu- sicale. While the story is frequently heard that he intends to retire from the stage this year as before it may prove to be just a story—^nd good publicity. Like the famous last appearance of the Eu¬ ropean dancers and virtuosos. Mary El¬ lis and' Basil Sydney are reported to be a -prize possession of the Erlanger en¬ terprises. .Oscar Straus' music will tickle the ears of the playgoer in an operetta woven, believe it or not, around, the Ke- rcnsky months in Russia. There will be miisic too from the brain o^ the Hart- Rpdgers combination, from Jerome Kern and from ye olde mastere, Sigmund Romberg. George Jessel will delight his usual audiences, and the .other favorites of the lighter and more serious moments of the stage will, it is no more than fair to expect, cpnimand their familiar rounds of applause.
All told, the producers, actors, lyric writers and song composers and, of course, the playwrights will be in for a crowded year.
Aarons and Frccdley will produce a iiegro musical drama and a comedy (with tunes) in which the Gersliwiu hoys will have a hand, Hyman Adler will produce a musical show. Leonard Berg¬ man has cornered the season's Pagan market and ^will run two plays by the veteran Myron C. Edward A. Blatt will do the "Terrible Turk" and if you arc in the know, you are given to understand that it is a play biography of the career of Jed H.-irris. Arthur Gopdhian's prize winning play, "If Booth, Had Missed," will be put on by William Brady asso¬ ciating' with the Shuberts. Aben Kan- del is down for too many plays and things to count: a comedy "Hot Money/' a two character play "Interview" and several other trifles.. Sam and Bella Si)cwack are ready with their opus, "The Star, Witness." Philip Goodman and William B.' Friedlander are to pro- diice. Jed Harris will put on a play half-fashioned by Ben Hecht. Moss Hart will he presented as an author once again by tSam H. Harris, this time in a musical comedy, With Irving BerHn as his associate. George S. Kaufman and Morris Ryskind will do the book for a musical show: "Of Thee I Sing."
Lew Leslie will again present sketches for a new edition of his series of Black¬ birds, sketches briefly written by Nat Dorfman. Horace Liveright as producer will do Edwin Justus Mayer's "Things As They Arc." S. N! Behrman will have a play on the boards: "Love Story.'' Manuel Scff is given as co-author of "Blessed Event." Elmer Rice is pro¬ ducer and also author of "The Left Bank."
This year the imports from abroad, will contain a number written by Jews. Ferenc Molnar will have two of his plays during the season and his old fa¬ vorite, "The Play's the Thing," has heen converted into a light opea.. Henri Bern¬ stein's "Felix" will strut the stage. Ben W. Levy's play will be brought over from England as .willbe the fate also of G. B. Stern's "The Man Who Plays the Piper." Two of Vicki Baum's successes will be put OH for the benefit of the American playgoer. There will also be a play by Bruno Franck and probably one or two others to keep the foreign- adapter, William A. Drake, hiisy. Last but far from^ least, we muat record the forthcoming presentation of Emil Lud¬ wig's "Versailles," a play dealing with the Peace Conference.
Among the novelties and divertise- ments will be a season of opera comique boldly presented by Charles L. Wagner. Ed Wynn will present "The Laugh Parade," a novelty of his own compos¬ ing. Maurice Schwartz will appear in a series of plays in English beginning with one by Sholom Aleichem, "If I Were You." Boris Thomashefsky and Regina Zuckerherg will do an English operetta, "The Singing Rabbi," which this scribe suspetts will be an amalgam of Second Avenue hits.
And there are bound to be surprises, as yet unrevealed. '
From all of the foregoing it lis safe to foresee a busy season at the theatre. New Yorkers and visitors to the great metrop¬ olis may prepare their amusement cliarts well in advance. Less fortunate out-of- lowners will no. doubt be regaled by road shows or, at the very least, by cinema¬ tized versions. Let them make note. From the above account a good share of their amusement will, willy-nilly, be drawn.   (Copyright, 1931, J. T. A.)

Members of the Cleveland Heights High School team, wliich Chizek led to the Lake Erie Conference title in 1928, were the pallbearers,
It was believed Chizek was injured in the Ohio State-Indiana game here last fall, but it was not until after the Michi¬ gan game, Oct. 18, in which he sparkled, that he complained of back pains. ,
He accompanied the team to Balti¬ more, Nov. 8, for the Navy game, but could not play.
, When he returned to Columbus he lay hjslpless in University Hospital for five months. Two major operations were performed, He was moved to Cleveland last April.
He apparently was recovering when he suddenly became worse. Saturday. Phy¬ sicians said the iinmediate cause of death was tubercular meningitis. ¦Chizek came to Cleveland from Ziev, Russia, when one year old. He developed into a star football and basketball player at Cleveland Heights High School.
As a university freshman here in 1929 his punting and passing attracted atten¬ tion and he became the regular frosh ouarterback. He broke into the varsity lineup last fall against Mount Union and nlaved in the Indiana, Northwestern and Michigan pames.
Sam Willaman. football coach, and other members of the Ohio State Ath letic Department attended the funeral.
More Than Thirty-Two Per Cent bf
Total Is Used For Establishment
of Agricultural Settlements
The sum of $20,115,820 was expended, . in Palestine during tbe period from April -.' 1, 19:il, to March 31, 19U1, by the Pales-- tine Foundation Fund, according to a complete financial report that^ has just been issued by the Fund and made public ill this country by Mr. Morris Rothen¬ berg, Nalional Chairnian of the Ameri¬ can Palestine Campaign, which is the fund-raising iiistrumerit of the Fund in the United States. /
The resume of the various reconstruc¬ tion activities to which the Fnnd, known in Hebrew as the Keren HayesotI, made allotments shows that every. branch of the rebuilding of the Jewish National Home has been stimulated by the funds gathered from Jews in all parts of the world, and particularly in the United States. ¦ The 5 report of the Palestine Foundation Fund does not include the sums expended in Palestine by varions other branches of the Zionist movement. _ The largest individual expenditure dur¬ ing the past decade was $0,858,851 for the establishment of agricultural settle¬ ments and the provision of equipment for the incoming settlers. This accounted for thirty-two per cent of the total. The sum of $1,113,301 was devoted to the Jewish educational system in Palestine, including the Hebrew University of Je¬ rusalem. .^2,112,361 was used for the development of public works and other labor projects. The amount expended on bringing immigrants into Palestine w-is $1,900,017.
One of the important functions of the Foundation Fund has been to stimulate the interest of private capital in the eco nomic development of Palestine. In the years when capital was still diffident about the Jewish National Home, the Foundation Fund indicated its full en¬ dorsement of the economic possibilities of the country by participating in a number of economic and industrial en¬ terprises, among them the Palestine Elec¬ tric Corporation, the Palestine Potash Company and the Mortgage Bank of Palestine. The Fund also invested in banks and land purchasing companies. The total used for this purpose during the past ten years was $1,499,070.
The development of a sanitation and health system, whose benefits are now available to all elements of the Palestine population required the expenditure of $1,300,041. This sum is aside from the funds provided by Hadassah. The-stmr of $840,312 was devoted' to the establish¬ ment and maintenance of a variety of other communal institutions. Cooperat¬ ing with various religious groups, the Foundation Fund allotted $408,804 to the maintenance of various religious institu¬ tions in the country. . The amount of $335,884 was used ifor the launching of a number of branches of trade and in¬ dustry which have, during the past ten years, developed into important self-sus¬ taining economic institutions. Tn addi¬ tion to sums used by the Jewish Na¬ tional Fund, the Foundation Fund ex¬ pended $157,232 in the acquisition of a number of valuable tracts of land.
In commenting upon the ten-year re¬ port of the Palestine Foundation Fund, Mr. Rothenberg said:
"The present drive of the American Palestine Campaign for $2,500,000 aims to secure the funds which will safeguard the very. important assets that, have been built up during the past decade. The summary of the rexpcnditures of the' Foundation Fund indicates to what fun¬ damental iises (he money contributed by Jews in this and other countries are put. A'great many of the projects, created and sponsored by the Foundation Fund have today become pivotal factors in the country's development. These enter¬ prises have, in turn, been responsible for the influx of private capital and the growth of an impressive economic struc¬ ture. The entire project represents a vital economic organism which needs only temporary assistance to become a self-sustaining Jewish structure and a source of spiritual values of which Jews the world over may be proud."
