PALESTINE SAP-SHOTS The German colonists of Sharonia, who were interned by the British in Alexandria dnrmg the World War, have been al¬ lowed to return to Palestine upon the intercession of the Jewish agency ... So these gentle Gcrnun Junkers, out of grati¬ tude, have  begun  a strong  anti-Jewish
/ Nazi campaign aniong the Arabs in the Sharon Plain ... A German Jew, Whose ticket was not for the right day, was refused admibsion by-Jewish policemen to the fair grounds at Tel Aviv . . . The German Jewish refugee got so excited that he addressed the Jewish cop as "Hebraisches luinpenpack—klein-Asiatis- ches Juden Gesindcl" . . . The Jewish cop knocked him down and arrested him .. , .

This is the first program of this nature presented under the auspices of Zion Lodge in over twelve years. In arranging this program Mr. Durschnitt is attempting •to throw light on a problem that has been perplexing Jewish young men and women during the past decade.

What can be done towards solving this problem? If you are interested, come and hear the symposium to be presented this coming Monday evening, June 10, at the Progress Club, 142 South Partons avenue.

Jews Not a Race but Religious
Community,   Adler   Tells
Newly Ordained Rabbis
all Jewish communities of the United States on Sunday, June 23rd. At a meeting of representatives of Columbus Zionist groups held Tucsdaj, May 28th, the following committee was named to supervise the local elections: Robert L. Mellman, chairman; C. H. Furman, vice- chairman; S. Haklay, secretary; David Schwartz, Mrs Roy J. Stone, Herman Sonkin and Mr&. H. Friedland
Agudath Achim Synagogue was desig¬ nated as the polling place and will be open on the day of election from 9-a. to 8 p m. Only shekel payers have the right to vote for Congress delegates. Every member of the Zionist District of Columbus, Hadassah Senior and Junior Chapters, Mizrachi, Ladies' Mizrachi, Poale Zion and Women's Pioneer Or¬ ganization, who has paid his or her dues for the current year, automatically be¬ comes a Shekel payer; those who have subscribed to the Zionist Roll Call and paid the accompanying fee of $1.00 are also Shekel payers and entitled to vote; those who purchase an individual Shekel for the current year may vote. All Shekel payers will shortly receive an of¬ ficial Shekel receipt which must be pre¬ sented at the polling &tation to entitle \otcrs to cast their ballots.
Members of the Zionist Organization of America, Senior and Junior HadaS' sah will vote for the list of delegates appearing on the General Zionist Group or Ticket No. I; arrayed against this ticket will be tickets sponsored by the Poale Zion, the Mizrachi and other minor parties. Thc platform of the Gen¬ eral Zionist group disregards both left and right extremes, and steers a course that has in \iew the larger interests of the whole Jewish people. It stresses the all-embracing priiiciples of General Zion¬ ism as best calculated to realize the ba¬ sic aims and ideals of the Zionist move¬ ment.
The principles set forth in the Zionist platform appeal to all who believe in a Palestine above party and class—who see iu a rebuilt Zion the possibility for recon¬ ciliation of all elements within Jewry and xvlio look forward to the develop¬ ment of a National Home that shall be thc fullest expression of the aspirations of the entire world Jewry.
NEW YORK (WNS)-'The Jews are not a race but a religious community and to tonfend that they are anything else is to give "a weapon into the hands of our enemies," Dr, Cyrus Adler, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, warned in an address at the Seminary's coinmenceiiient exercises. Call¬ ing on tlie ten newly ordained rabbis to help dispel the theory of a Jewish race, Dr. Adler declared "let us get it in our minds, definitely once and for all, that even before the destruction of the Temple, even before the destruction of our nation in Palestine, we became a religious com¬ munity; and that we are, that we shall remain or we shall be nothing." Pointing out that even Nazi Ge,rmany docs not openly attack the Jewish religion, at least any more than it attacks any form of Christianity, Dr. Adler said that "Ger¬ many has invented a perfectly false race theory which has not the slightest founda¬ tion in fact," but which is being utilized to rationalize Nazi hatred of the Jews "in order to save their faces." "Why,'' he asked, "should we fall into this tfap? Why should we declare ourselves a race or Kultur?" The ten newly-ordained rab¬ bis were Morris Adler, St. Joseph, Mis¬ souri, Eli A. Bohnon, Toronto; Morris A. Frank, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Irwin L Hyman, Atlantic City ;y^ Mordecai H. Lewittcs, New York Citw; Philip Listo- kin, New York City; AS^. Michelson, New York City; Phillip Pincus, New York City; Irving Perlman, Chicago; H. E. Rickcl, Cleveland. Honorary degrees of doctor of Hebrew Literature were con¬ ferred upon Dr. Mordecai M. JCapIan, Dr. Charles C. Torroy, professor emeri¬ tus of Semitic languages at Yale Univer¬ sity ; Dr. Samuel Landauer, professor emeritus in Semitic languages at the Uni¬ versity of Strassburg; Sol Stroock and Rabbi Jacob Minkin.
NEW YORK (WNS) — Ten rabbis were ordained at the tenth commencement exercises of the Jewish Institute of Reli¬ gion. Those ordained were Emanuel Green, A. L Jacobspn, J. R. Malino, Ahron Opher, I. S. Ravetch, M.L, Sacks, H. I. Saperstein,, Jerome Unger, S. E. White and C. A. Zwitman, The honor¬ ary degree of doctor of Hebrew letters was conferred upon Prof. Harry A.

F tho Chronicle were to print all the news depicting the plight of refugees from Germany, the extraordinary suf¬ fering and deep humiliation of the hun¬ dreds of bur fellow Jews are undergoing daily |n t|iat country and other sections of Europe, it could fill the column^ not only oi)ce a week, but almost daily. The pictures that are painted for us are real tragedies, such as have never, ih the his¬ tory of the Jewish people, been inflicted upon any race or group.
"The roots of tlie Naiii way of life go down deeper than we realize/' declared E. J, Schanfarber, in asking for support of the. United Jewish Fund of Columbus which seeks to solve many of the tragic problems created by the persecution of Jews and pther minorities in Germany. "This way of life makes for war and intolerance and an unwillingness to let
people live their oWn lives and follow their, own genius and instincts," he said.
"When the men and women qf Colum¬ bus support the local United Jewish Fund appeal, as I hope they will do in generoup measure, it should also be remembered that there jis one iniportant aspect to tol¬ erance; the Jews can only bt; safe in a world in which everyone is safe, a world in which no person will be denied rights because of race or creed," Schanfarber added.   '     * ¦ •     '   ,
The brutal intolerance which is rampant in Germany today is not primarily a Jew¬ ish question. Undoubtedly individuals and groups of Jews have suffered greatly and are continuing to bear, the burden of a fanatical racial creed, These are entitled to all the help that we in,America can give them, but the persecution from which they suffer has a deeper source than we
realuc. It ib traceable to a resurgence iii cruelty wbich throws the world back to a primitiveness which we have not. known for centuries.
Up to date, Columbus Jews have raised about $22,000 of the i|!:>5,000 goal. There is yet $;i,000 to he' subscribed by smaller gifts. Every, self-respecting Jew should consider it a privilege to help in his or her small way our unfortunate brethren over seas. When you contribute to the United Jewish Fund of Columbus, you are also helping to defend the fair name of Judaism in this country through the Anti:Defamotion League of .the B'nai B'rith, The Jewish Orphan Home, Jewish hospitals and many other worthy causes too numerous to mention. Let "One For All and Alt For One," be our slogan in meeting our just obligations as Jews and,
