By the Way
By David Schwartz
On the Subwny
Speaking of conditions thert: is the story o{ Alplioiiae Uobiiis. Two Jews, it appears, were sc;ited side by side in thp express going to I-'hitbusli. Tlicy rode Gil and on silently—each seemingly in- difTcreiit of the other—each staring Hx- cdly in front of liini.
Finally, one of theni emitted the deep ¦Jewish groan,  "oi".
"Yon'rc telling ine", exclaimed the other.
Chess and Jews The iic\*spaper stories of the recent chess masters tournament held at Pasa¬ dena reads much like an account of some , synagogue meeting. J^Arish names one after the other. Chess continues, it ap¬ pears, to remain the Jewish game par excellence. Not a little surprising ton, when one remembers that we are sup¬ posed to be such a commercial people. And yet our official game is perhaps the only one tliat hasn't and probably can't be capitalized.
How would Hitler explain this fact of Jews sticking to a game in which there is Absolutely no money?
Chess and Boxing I think boxing next to chess might be classified as something of a Jewish sport. Of course, there is far from the Jew¬ ish predominance in pugilism that there is in chess, but in another sense, it is perhaps even more Jewish—i>erhaps the '¦ most Jewish sport there is. I refer to -the devoted Jewishness of its Jewish par¬ ticipants. Thus, I read in the papers t^iat, Kid Berg always wears "tzizith." Now, I don't think that Dr. Lasker, the chess man, wears tzizith" and it is probably also true that Sidney Lenz, the bridge ex pert, does not. Another Jewish charac¬ teristic of pugilism is the tendency to ¦ emphasize Jewish momciiclature—by add¬ ing a "sky" pr a "witz"—something that will niake the name of the fighter, strik- 'iiffly Jewish. That again, you never see in any other fields. You would be sur¬ prised to, hear that Barney Baruch for instance had changed his name to Ba- ruchkowsky, or, that Franklin P. Adams, the Jewish Columnist, had changed his name to Oiayiin Aronson. And yet things like that are constantly done in pugi- :   lism.
Hoover's Trumps Well, we have now another supplemen¬ tary edition of "merry-go-round" with more gossip about officialdom. This lat¬ est work speaking of the justcies of the supreme court is rather lavish-in praise to Brandeis and Cardozo.
And as to Eugene Meyer, it regards Meyer and Ogden Mills as "the two .trumps" of President Hoover.; Eugene Meyer's brother, has, I believe, indicated some interest in Jewish matters—at least ill some of the economic, aspects of Pal¬ estine, but Eugene Meyer himself ap¬ pears to be completely estranged. So 1 don't know that we can ."kleib much nachath," if you are not "kleibing" this morning from Meyer's career.
A Chip of the Old Block With all dtie respect to Mr. Meyer, 1 myself am just now more interested in the career of a Jew holding a much less , iiotable position, that of Simon Lubin, Who has just been appointed head of the^ State Bureau of Commerce of California. Lubin is the son of the late and famous David Lubin, and according to reports, inherits much of the idealism of his distinguished parent.
Lubin has evolved a plan of ecoiiomic relief, which it appears to me, has much common sense to it. It is no panacea, and is notintended as such, but it is hy steps as his that this depression may at least be softened. California is con- frpnted_bj' a surplus of some of her farm products, and at the same time, jn other parts of the country, there are potential consumers, but without the ability to meet the prices ot former years. So Lubin dispatched salesmen to the relief agencies all over the country, who are of¬ fering these relief agencies, canned fruit, oranges, rice and other California prod¬ ucts at bargain prices.
If Lubin can show farmers that they don't have to biirn their crops, he will have done something charactertstcially Lubinesque.

Coty and the Jewish Question
By I. SCHECHTMAN
Jewish leaders in France optimistically ihouglit for a time that the virulent anti- Jewish campaign started by Francois Coty, the perfume king and newspaper owner, waa something transient, a tem¬ porary phase, which would soon be dropped for something else. There Iiavt ,^teii sporadic agitations against Jews in France in the past, which came up and went down; and people believed that Coty's anti-seinitic cainpaign was like that, and it did not enter their mind that it was really going to 'be sustained for so long and become the permaneilt fea¬ ture that it is now in French life.
The Jewish question has become an obsession to Coty, and his paper, "L'Aini du Peuple", -with a circulation of over a million, is given over to a scurrilous anti-Jewish campaign, day after day.
It started with the "Gernian-Jewish- American bankers," but that was only a beginning. . The next attack was on people whom anyone claiming to be a national, patriotic Frenchman like Coty should have respected, the Jewisli com¬ batants, the Jews who fought as volun¬ teers in the French Army during the Great War. Tliesc men who joined up out of a feeling of love for France, ti. fight .her battles, have been accused by Coty ill his "L'Ami du Peuple" of being engaged in revolutionary and anti-patri¬ otic activities. We know, he has written, that groups of armed Jewish workers are being organized. Recruiting is going on openly.even in Paris, ostensibly for Jew¬ ish sports groups, and these bodies of former Jewish combatants can easily be trans'^onned for active revolutionary work. '
, The Federation of Jevvish Combat¬ ants immediately called a meeting, at whicli the members adopted a sharply worded resolution of protest, declaring that the iFcderation was. constituted ex¬ clusively for the purpose of protecting the material and moral interests of tht Jews who had joined the iFrench army voluntarily during the war and had fought at the front,, and of their widows and orphans, and in order to perpetuate the memory of their loyalty to France. Al! political and religious discussions are under the Statutes prohibited in the Fecl- eration, and the Federation therefore protests vigorously, the resolution con¬ cludes, against the despicable accusations made against its members by Francois Coty.
In addition. to adopting thi.s ,nubUc: protest,  the  Federation  has  brought an
action for libel against Coty,
.At the same time, the fact that the Federation of Jewish Combatants has reacted to his campaign lias pleased M. Coty quite a deal. Hitherto all his at¬ tacks were ignored.' Not a word was said m any Jewish paper or by any Jew¬ ish organization, as if by compact, about the Coty anti-Jewish agitation, and , it seems tliat this annoyed him more than abuse and controversy would have done. He was hurt to think that the Jews did not consider Iiim worth worrying about. And now tlic Jewish ex-soldiers have taken up his charges, he has made it the occasion for a triumphant proclamation in his paper that at last the Jewish con- •spiracy of silence has been broken do-vn. The Jews have grown afraid, h-i writes, and they are beginning to defend them¬ selves.
Coty has also jjot hold of a circular issued hy the League for Combating Antisemitism, which is headed by M. Bernard Lecache, in which the League draws the attention of its branches to hi; antiseniitic agitation, ., and proposes : counter-campaign. This is just what Coty wants. In heavy loaded type, his newspaper announces that the circular is proof that his exposures have struck the Jews in a vulnerable spot, and their de¬ fense movement is a sure sign that his accusations against them are just.
But Coty is not finding his path a smooth one, by any meaps. Like a bolt out of the blue an attack has heen launched against him, which seems likely to destroy his entire prestige and to drive him completely out of public life, and the attack is the more dangerous, be¬ cause it comes neither from the Jews, nor from the Socialists, but from hi.=; own political Party, the extreme Right. M. Cainillc Aniard, the editor ot "La Lihcrte", a very important French news- pajier, has just published a jOng article, revealing that "in the eyes of the law, M. Coty is a convicted prisoner, who was In 1890 found guilty of theft .and sent to prison in Marseilles, and in addition, he was during the Great War the object of an official enquiry on the ground that lie was suspected of trading with the enemy,"     ,.
These revelations have come as a severe blow to Coty, and he has no answer to them. He cannot bluster oiit of. them by saying that 'it i.s a Jewish Communist plot. The brand of the convict, tlie shadow of the prison is upon him, Tlie little moral authprity which he had, has hcen destroyed. ¦
Hadassah   Convention   Will
Take Place in New York
City, Sept. 18th
Ilr. Ilaim Yassky, Director of Medical
Worlt   of   Hadassah   in   Palestine,

At the convention Dr. Yassky will give a detailed account of the prog resB of the work in Palestine. Most striking will be his report on infant mor¬ tality in the country, which in l!)2o was IU per I.OOO, but which in IPHO was re¬ duced to ao. The Hadassah Mxidical Or- ganzation has waged an anti-trachoma campaign among tite Jevvish schools, re ducing the number nf those afflictetl among t1ie_ children from Hrt% to 8% The organization has also been instru: mental in eradicating entirely ringworm of the scalp which in 1923 ravished liH% of the school population.
The Hadassali Medical Organization in Palestine has under its supervision four hospitals, two health centers and 22 in- fa'nt wel fai-e .stations, plus twoinaintaincd in conjunction with the Labor Federation, and a department of school hygiene.

liEiJimigration  Under  Control
For First Time in History of
United States, Says Hull
Immigration   Commissioner   Empha¬ sizes the Excess of Emigrants Over Imfmigrants in Last Fiscal.Year
WASHINGTON—Commissioner of Immigration Harry E, Hull announced recently in a radio address that the United States for the first time in its history is able to state that, it has im¬ migration  definitely  under  its  control.
He pointed to the fact that in the,last fiscal year the number of emigrants ex¬ ceeded the number of immigrants. Of the 35,57(i aliens admitted to the United States in the last fiscal year, 9,490 were relatives ot .American citizens.
"It we revert to the two years just before the World War, it is found that over 1,000,000 immigrants were admit¬ ted in each of those years," he said. "In the fiscal year of 1931, 97,139 newcom¬ ers for permanent residence gained ad¬ mission, compared with 241,700 in tlw lOaO fiscal year. The decrease in the last fiscal year was approximately 63 per cent from the prior one."
The immediate problem of thebureau, the speaker said, is one of deiwrtation to relieve the country of aliens who are found here in violation of the immigra¬ tion law. In the last fiscal year more aliens were deported than ever before in Ihe history of the country,
"The Department of Labor," _ con tinned Mr. Hull, "was responsible in the fiscal year of 10H2 for the deportation of .33,838 aliens. This includes the deporta¬ tion of Communists, criminals and indi¬ gents.   The greatest single cause for de-

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. I am absolutely convinced of tliis after interviewing Lobagola, the West African Bushman who is now visiting In Colum¬ bus. Although he is today a culture<l, refined gentleman, Lobagola commenced life as a savage in the unexplored bush region of the French Soudan. Accord¬ ing to his own story, he was brought up in the Judaist religion, belonging to a'small sect which observed the Jewish rites in the midst of fetish worshipping negro tribes.
Straying froni home in his youtli, he and his companions in their wanderings miraculously made their way to the Gulf of Guinea, a journey of at least forty- five days in the jungle. Here Lobagola Was kidnaped and carried to Scotland. He was given refuge by a kindly Scotch¬ man who later educated him. The forty years,of his remarkable life have lieen divided between darkest .\frica and the most civilized of present day countries, the United States and Great Britain. He has lived under conditions as sharply, contrasted as the world affords.
I heard him tell the story of his life before the Rotary Club Monday after¬ noon. He hekl the large audience spell¬ bound in relating the extraordinary de¬ tails of his exceptionally unique career. Although in his lectures, he primarily tells of his own life and of his own people, he nevertheless has some keenly pointed arrows to direct at the white man's civilization. Lobagola is a witty, fascinating speaker who electrifies his auditors by his brilliant portrayal of ,his life's, many strange experiences.
It is interesting to note that,he is now considered an international celebrity. He has addressed many learned bodies as well as the outstanding luncheon clubs of England and America. He is a frequent rontributor to Scribner's Magazine and has already published two important Iiooks, One is called "Lobagola—an Afri'-an Savage's Own Story," the other is "Folk Tales of a Savage." Tliey are both among the best sellers. I recom¬ mend the writings of Lobagola to my readers. They are eminently worth¬ while;*'they are educational. as well as fascinatingly entertaining. ¦ ¦*    *   *
The World League for the Observ¬ ance of the Sabbath has submitted a memorandum to the World Zionist Or¬ ganization requesting that it prohibit the breaking of the Sabbath on Jewish Na¬ tional Fund ground, in contracts entered ¦ intu by the JNF with settlers. The memorandum points out that at a time when economic conditions the world oyer, have impaired the sanctity of the Sah- bath. Palestine^ is the only land where Sabbath observance meets with no seri¬ ous difBctlltics. The demand of the re- ti^ious Jews is therefore the firmer, says the memprandum. T doubt whether the officers of the W. Z. O. will hec<l this memorandum. At present they have more vexing problems to niect. *    *    *
