Magnes, president of the Hebrew University, as a feasible and hopeful plan for solving the Arab- Jewish impasse in Palestine, and en¬ abling both peoples to live in peace. In a letter from Paris to the New York Times, Dr. Magnes agrees with the report of the Royal Commission that the present mandatory. system must be (abandoned but rejects parti¬ tion as a solution because it will cre^ ate new bitterness and hatreds and leave the proposed Jewish state exr posed to Arab revenge and because it does not provide for "freely and openly negotiated agreement between Jews and Arabs." Blaming Jews,. Arabs and British for the.failure to make peace, and par¬ ticularly criticizing the- British ad¬ ministration in Palestine for having done nothing'"to try to create condi¬ tions in an atmosphere in which Jews and Arabs wotild be enabled, should they so desire, to negotiate an agree¬ ment freely and openly with one an¬ other," Dr. Magnes recommends that a new. mandate for Palestine should have two basic, points: "first, both Jcw^ and Arabs are in Palestine as of right and not on sulTerance; second, the chief reason for the mandatory's presence iti: Palestine is to endeavor to create conditions favorable to free and open negotiation of agreements be-: tween Jews and. Arabs, such agree¬ ments, to be incorporated progressively into the basic law of the land."' Revealing that even during last ycarV riots;-"some Arabs and, sOme Jews were able to work but a lot-Klines program, for the next ten years," Dr. Magnes declares that if limited mutual pacts were agreed to the Jews could, with Arab consent, "settle many hun¬ dreds of thousands of persecuted Jews in various Arab lands"; while former economic, political and cultural glory could be once more attained by the Arabs with Jewish help. Holding that both these are "worth a real price" and that there are Arab statesmen both in Palestine and elsewhere who real¬ ize this, he says that in the course of the negotiations which England must undertake with the League of Na¬ tions, the United States, the Jews and the Arabs in connection with partition "there should be many opportunities for prbposmg freely and openly nego¬ tiated agreements for limited periods between Jews and Arabs, between Jcw5 of the world and Ariibs of the world. If a first period of compara¬ tive peace from five to ten years could bie established, as I firmly .believe it can be, there "would be a necessary breathing space during which to pre¬ pare ifoi* the next five or ten years." After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages' of partition for both Jews and Arabs, Dr. Magnes further urges world Jewry to agree to the internationalizing and neutralizing of Jerusalem, with a constitution giving municipal. citizenship to all its bona fide inhabitants regardless of allegiance and providing that the head of the mu¬ nicipality should be in turn Jew, Chris¬ tian and Moslem. "Such a destiny for Jerusalem,'' he declares, "if finally planned and generously carried through, is of importance to all the world,, and it would redpiirid more to the honor and glory of the Jew than if Jerusalem were just the capital of the Jewish state." BERLIN (WNS)-:ForeignerB here with a Bcnsti of humor are chuckling over the , cliscovery that the plan to partition Pal¬ estine into Arab and Jewish states would incorporate into the Jewish state- the German colony of Sarona, outside of Tcl Aviv. Nazi leaders here are rer ported to have.expressed great resentment over this and there is talk of filing a formal protest with the British authorities. In November, 1936, the residents of Sarona protested to High Com¬ missioner Wauchope and the G.erman consul against: a new administrative plan which would join the German colony to the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv. David Lloyd George Brands Partition **Crazy Scheme" Snell Arraigns Government^ Says It Miide Mess of .Great Task LEHMAN'S OPPOSITION TO SUPREME COURT PLAN NEW, YORK (WNS)—Branding the proposed partition of Palestine as a "crazy scheme" and. a "deplorable ending to one of the most imaginative experiments which the. Great War made possible," David Lloyd George, war-time prime minister of England whose government issued the Balfour Declaration promising the establish¬ ment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, charges in an article copy¬ righted by Universal Service and American Newspapers, that partition "is a lamentable admission that Britain, owing to the feebleness, vacillation.ahd pussillanimity of her administrators, has failed to carry through the mis¬ sion entrusted to her by the leading nations of ^he world." Warning that partition "must necessarilylower Brit¬ ish prestige" and.qalling it a violation of a solemn pledge given, to 16,000,000 Jews "by the great nations in return for-services, pronriised and rendered, the wartime prime minister says thai .partition would leave the Jewish Na¬ tional Hpmc ' "mutilated and. left to shamble along, a' disfigured and shape¬ less cripple." . After praising in' glowing terms Jewish achievements in Palestine since 1917, UoydiSeorge declares that "the Arabs, h^ve every reason to be thank¬ ful for the war to which the Zionist pledge was incident, for thertreaties that registered Allied victory iii that war,", for "before the war there was not a single free Arab nation iii the world," while now at least four great Arab nations are independent and self- governing— Arabia, Iraq, Syria and l^gypt. Had the Allies been defeated in the war these millions of now lib¬ erated Arabs would have been still LONDON (WNS—Palcor Agency) ^Declaring that partition represents "a remedy worse than the disease" and that it would be no solution for peace between Jews and'Arabs in Palestine, Lord Harry Snell, who opened the de¬ bate on the Royal Commission report ,in thc House of ;Lords, "accused the British Government of havirig made a "complete mess Of its^ great task." Lord; SncU began%is address with a tribute to. the members of the Royal Commission whoi^ he congratulated upon haying presetfted the Government with a unanimousReport, recalling that' he himself had been the author.of a minority report in the case of the issu¬ ance of the Passfield White Paper in 1930. / 'j He expressed regret, however, that the Royal Commission concluded its report,with the recommendation of a "surgical operation" that woiild result in the creation of ji "toy state" which would not be in a position to solve the tragic Jewish problem in many.Euro¬ pean lands^ Partftioti would not be the solution, Lord fSnell said, remark¬ ing that the Commission has not tried, arty other solution.' If it really wanted to, the British .Government could achieve peace in Palestine under the L^gue of Nations Mandate, he as¬ serted, pointing out. that the report ad¬ mits' that the Arabs had benefited from Jewish enterprise. Discussing the con¬ clusion of the Royal Commission that thc Manthte is unworkable, Lord Snell said.that the Mandate has nQt failed; the. Jews have succeeded and only the Palestine . Administration has failed* the Laborite leader said, charging it. with responsibility for the Arab dis¬ turbances. . ¦' Although the Palestine Government knew the source bf the disorders, it' took no notice of.;tliem and" did not suppress Arab incitemenit which was checked by.the efforts of the Jews, Lord Snell declared. Lord Snell said he was at a loss to understand the haste .with, wk;ch:^e Government is¬ sued its approval of the Royal Com¬ mission's findings, characterizing it as an aifroht to Parliament and, stressed the fact that the Government had taken this action \idthout cohsulting the United States and other nations con¬ cerned in the Mandated .He-voiced an emphatic protest against the hurried manner in which thei (aovernment is¬ siied its statement of policy. Denying the contention of the (jov- crtiment that it has been endeavoring to bring about peace and cooperation between Jews and Arabs, Lord Snell said that Great Britain had made a complete mess of the great task of re-- building Palestine and that its pres¬ ent proposals for partition were a Seen Due to Fear of Impairing Religious Liberty " Guarantees NEW YORK (WNS)—Governor Herbert H. Lehman's sensational an¬ nouncement that hc is opposed tb Pres¬ ident Roosevelt's Suprcnie Court re¬ form lilan because be believes it would establish "a dangerous precedent which could be availed of by future less well-intended administrations for the purpose of oppression or for^the cur¬ tailment of the constitutional rights df our citizens" is due to his fear of set¬ ting a precedent which would impair thc Supreme Court's power to pro¬ tect Constitutional guarantees of re¬ ligious liberty. Such is thc opinion of Doris. Fleeson,,.

In First 6 Months of 1937 NEW YORK (WNS)—During the first four months of 1937 there were 5,539 Jewish aliens admitted to the United States, of whom 3,547 were classified as qiipta^ immigrants, ac- cordiniE to the semi-annual report of HIAS. Of' the total number of iad- missions, 2,851 were from Germany, or refugees who had temporarily found shelter in other countries. During the same period HIAS's remittance bu¬ reau forwarded $483,060 in 20,587 in¬ dividual remittances to kinsmen of American Jews abroad for relief and emigration purposes. their own independence,, claiming that the great majority of Arabs in thei great war 'Vere -fighting for their Turkish conquerors" while English soldiers and money won Arab freedom. Charging that pngland got. nothing out of this costly effort except the overthrow of Turkey ©nd years of worry while the Arabs, won "freedom over a vast territory much more ex¬ tensive than that ruled over by the imposing empire of the Assyrian kings," Lloyd George points out that underlying partition is "the hasty as¬ sumption that two rac^s, languages and religions cannot dwell in amity in the same country." He declares that "this is contrary to the experi¬ ence of the British Empire," apd cites India, South Africa and Canada as examples of nations where different races and-religion live in harmony and share responsibility for government.. Morris Rothenberg, Former Z. O. A. Prexy, Named Magistrate NEW YORK (WNS) —Morris Rothenberg, four times president of the Zionist Organization of America, was sworn in as a municipal magis¬ trate here by Mayor La Guardia. Judge Rothenberg's term is for ten years. Fifty-three years old, Mr. Rothenberg has been a Zionist leader $ince pre-war days. He. was a mem¬ ber df the Committee of Jewish Dele¬ gations to the Versailles Peace Con¬ ference, one of the founders of the Jewish Agency and the Joint Distri¬ bution Committee and a former na¬ tional chairman of the American Palestine Campaign. ' First elected to the Z. O^ A. presidency in> 1932, he held tliat office until 1933 when hc was succeeded by Dr, Stephen S. Wise. Mr, Rothenberg is now chairman of the administrative committee of the Z. O. A. He is a lawyer by profession. its obligations. Lord Snell empha¬ sized, that if partition is inevitable. Parliament must decide its charactei: because the Commission's proposals at present provide for the establishment of a "toy Jewish state" that will not ^olve the tragic Jewish problem. Lord Snell concluded his speech with a plea for careful consideration of the prob¬ lems involved before the Government proceeds with its plans; for dividing iipi Palestine. LONDON (WNS)—Declaringthat the partition plan would make of Pal¬ estine "another Armenia,''. Vladimir Jabotinsky, Revisionist leader, voiced vigorous opposition tb the plan and announced efforts to obtain a cross sec¬ tion of Jewish opinion on it. MT. KISCO.N. Y. (WNS)— Gray-haired, soft-spokeri Dr. Abram Coralnik, outstanding Yiddish stylist, essayist and political commentator, passedaway of a heart attack at the Mt. Kisco hospital. He was 54 years old. Dr. Coralnik came to; this coun¬ try in 1915, and until his death was a contributing editor id The Day, in whose columns his articles found a numerous following.. He wias born, in Russia, near Kiev. His elementary ed¬ ucation was thoroughly Jewish biit ih later years he studied at universities iti Germany^ Italy, . Switzerland and France^ He wrote fluently- in 14. lan¬ guages. When only.in his teens he was one of the most valued collabo¬ rators of Dr. Theodor Herzl's Zionist publication,. Die Welt. Although IJr, Coralnik took an in¬ terest in Jewish affairs and for a time held office in the Zionist Organization of America, the American , Jewish Congress, ORT and HIAS and served as president of the Ukrainian Jews in America, he was a free .and unattached critic of Jewish organizational life. His last few articles dealt with the Palestine partition plan. Drl Coralnik took the view that Americain Zionist leaders should not unreservedly reject the Royal Commission report but un¬ dertake steps to negotiate with the British government. . He regarded the establishment of the Jewish state as one Of the greatest events in modern Jewish history. ¦ Before he came to America he edited Europe, a Petrograd weekly, and served as correspondent for the Reich, another Petrograd paper, in Rome, Berlin and Copenhagen. From 1903 to 1905 he edited Die Welt. At the outset of the Nazi regime in Germany he founded the American League lor the-Defense of Jewish Rights to or¬ ganize the anti-Nazi boycott. When the name of the organization, was changed to the Non-Sectarian AntU Nazi League he remained as vice- president for a short time and then resigned. He was also a former presi¬ dent of the Perctz Uerein, the Yiddish writers' organizatiim. LONDON (WNS-Palcor Agency) ^The British government will not take any steps to ascertain the views of the. United States, France, Italy, Japan, the. British Empire Dominions and other countries who signed thc Versailles Treaty and selected Great Britain as Mandatary before submit¬ ting its proposals for the partition of Palestine to the Council of the League of Nations, it was announced in the House pf Commons by Viscount Cran- borne, under-secretary for Foreign Affairs. Viscount Cranbome declared that since Article 27 of the Mandate provides that the consent of the Coun¬ cil of the League is.required for modi¬ fication of the terms of the Mandate, the government would not consult any of the Allied Powers prior to placing its decision of policy before the League. ... Viscount Cranborne made this state¬ ment jn reply to a question by the Honorable R. D. Denman, National Laborite, who inquired whether the government would consult any of the great powers regarding its contem¬ plated creation, of Jewish and Arab States in Palestine. In his reply, Vis¬ count C^ranborne said that the Allied Powers and otlier countries mentioned in the preamble to the Mandate; were members -df the League and their status was defined under the terms of the Mandate. He pointed out that the Mandate was accepted under these conditions by the American govern¬ ment through the American-British Convention of 1924. NEW YORK (WNS)-^qrthodox' Jewry must answer with a firm "no" thc proposal to partition Palestine be-'' cause it not only balks the natural development,of, Palestine but. violates basic tenets of the JciA'ish. faith and destroys fundamental traditions . of Jewish history. This was the keynote of addresses a;nd resolutions adopted, at an emerg(;ncy conference of Miz¬ rachi leaders called' to consider thc attitude of Orthodox Zionists toward the partition plan-. At the same con- . ference the Mizrachi named the 20 del¬ egates who will, represent it at thc Zionist Congress. , ¦ PARIS (WNS) ^Instructions to the Argentine ambassador to Firance to support Jewish demands with re¬ gard to Palestine were brought here from Buenos Aires by Mordecai Gezarig, president of the Argentine Zionist Federation, in a: letter ad¬ dressed to thc ambassador by Augus- tiri Justin, president of,the Argentine. LONDON (WNS)—High Com¬ missioner Wauchope, backed by other high officials of the,Palestine govern¬ ment, have submitted a membrandurn to the British Colonial Office severely criticizing the report of the Royal Commission because it assigns the ^ Galilee to the Jewish state, which, ac¬ cording to Wauchope,. should right- , fully go to the Arab state, the Evening Standard reports. ¦, Julius Meier, Ex-Governor Of Oregon, Dead PORTLAND, Ore. (WNS) — Oregon is mourning, the death of Julius L. Meier, governor of this state from 1930 to 1934 and the fifth Jew to be chief executive of an American state, who passed away at the age of 02. Son or Aaron Meier, one of the pioneer settlers of, Oregon, the ex- governor, entered the Meier-Frank Store which his father founded in 1857, after he had completed a law course. Until 1930 he was never interested in politics although he >yas one of the leading citizens oi Oregon, He was one of the pioneers in developing the Columbia .River lilffhway system. Dur¬ ing the World War he was Northwest regional director of the Council of National Defense, In 1930 when his law partner, George W. Joseph, died shortly after winning the Republican nomination for governor, Meier sought to replace him. When the politicians denied him the nomination he ran in¬ dependently and w-as elected by a land¬ slide vote. His term in oflUce was marked by the organization of a state police force/the reduction of the state deficit from $4,500,000 to $800,000 and the establishment of liquor control. Long active in Jewish affairs, he set a precedent by accepting the presidency of Congregation Beth Israel, Portland, while he was governor. He was also one of the honorary chairmen of a na¬ tional J. D. C. campaign. When his term expired he'returned to the man¬ agement of his department store. Detroit Jewry to Honor Butzel With Palestine, Forest DETROIT (WNS)—An honor ac¬ corded to only a handful of people throughout the world will be confer¬ red upon Fred M. B'utzel, Jewish leader and veteran Zionist, by the lo¬ cal, Jewish community.m honor of his, GOth birthday on August 27th when the Detroit council of the Jewish Na¬ tional Fund, in cooperation with other Jewish groups launches a move to plant ja forest in Palestine in his name. Directors of Orphan Home Hear Annual Report of Superintendent CLEVELAN D—The Unusual health record arid an experiment in home- making were stressed by: Michael Sharlitt, superintendent of Bellefaire, the Jewish Orphan Home at Cleve¬ land^ in his annual report,to the meet¬ ing of Trustees"dnd-Directors, in con¬ junction, with a homecoming celebra¬ tion attended by more than 500 alumni, on Sunday, July 17th. Reporting i>n the health of the chil¬ dren, Mr. Sharlitt stated: "There is a single circumstance about the year. just comjpleted which appeals to me with particular interest. It is the report of our physician that for twelve months from July 1, 1936, there has not been.a single case of contagious sickness among our .225 children, and that there have. been fewer bed patients in the past year than in any year since we have.been at Bellefaire. While there was a hope¬ ful expectancy that the health'would be improved in cottage surroundings in a suburban setting such as ours, many years ago there was a general impression that institutions would acT celerate contagion. Our physician is of the. opinion that the manner of liv¬ ing, the standards of life, the profes¬ sional supervision, supplied in all phases of the life at Bellefaire makes for prevention When contagion is im¬ minent, and a reasonable degree of control, once it finds a foothold on the campus. "Side by side.with the hospital rec¬ ord just referred to is the hopeful growth of the, children physically. Comparing a confirmation class of 1922, of 24: boys and 20 girls, with the 1937 class of 22 boys and 18 girls, the average weight of the boys increased from 109 lbs. to 134j4 lbs., and their height from 5 ft. 2>^ in. to 5 ft. 7 in. —a gain of 25'/i lbs. and 4J4 in.; the average weight of the girls increased frpm 111 lbs. to 113 Ibsi, and their .height from 5 ft. to 5 ft. 2J/5 i'n.™a gain of 2 lbs. and 214 in. I.like to feel that the complete change in life is responsible for this . accelerated growth, bringing bur boys ahd girls' more nearly up to normal standards of height and weight for their age and racial group. We must keep in mind throughout the consideration of this phase of our work, the fact that all of our children come from broken homes, that many timst have suffered the limitations of table and diet re¬ flected in a broken home and that, consequently, the strength of our med¬ ical service in this regard is especially salutary." / The superintendent^ described also the intensive work that is being done in the matter of vocational guidance. In this connection, he told of the household management experiment for twelve post-confirmation girls, iU' which these girls have been placed ini one cottage with the responsibility of everything incidental to making it a • iConfittited on page 4) iVozfs Issue Regulations fot Jewish School ChSdreh BERLIN (WNS) —New regula-: tions governing the admission of Jews to public high and elementary schools were announced here by Minister pf Education Bernhard Rust. His order sets, up a numerous clausus of 1^^^ for tlie number b£ Jewish students.to . be accepted in the total number of new high school students. It also provides that "half-Jews" are to enjoy equal rights with full Aryans but .:non- Aryans may attend Jewish classes if they so desire' but those who do will not he eligible for first class citizen¬ ship. , He further decreed that Jewish children are to be admitted to elemen¬ tary schools Only in towns or villages where-there are no Jewish schools, biit even in such cases the Jewish young-r sters can. attend only lectures, being excluded from sports and other extra¬ curricular activities; At the same time thC: Black Corps, official organ . of the Storm Troops, launched a campaign against "white Jews", whom it defined as "persons of Aryan blood Who have shown them¬ selves receptive to Jewish intellect, to - which they are enslaved." Demanding a broadening 'of the definition of Jew, the paper called for extending the term Jew "to those of Jewish feeling, Jew¬ ish intellect and Jewish character. All representatives of Jewdom in German intellectual life: must disappear, even as the Jew himself." As an example of a "white Jew'', the Black Corps cited Prof. Werner Reisenberg of Leipzig, 1932 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, "who must be removed as a representative of the Jewish mind in Germany." NAZIS DEDICATE 21ST CAMP IN NEW JERSEY ANDOVER, N. J. (WNS)- Brown-shirted Nazis and black-shirted Fascists paraded side by side and eX' changed mutual compliments here to the accompaniment of "hell Hitlers" ' and much waving of the swastika, as some 10,000 German-Americans and Italian-Americans participated in the dedication of Camp Nordland, the 21st Nazi camp to be established in this country by the Germati-American Bund, the official Nazi organization. Welcomed, to Susscjc County by State Senator William A. Dolan, the Nazis and Italian Fascisti engaged in a day bf singing, parading and heiling of Hitler and Mussolini. Principal speak¬ ers were Fritz Kuhn, Nazi leader; August Klapprott, head of, the New Jersey branch of the Bund; and Dr. Salvatore Caridi, Italian American Fascist leader of Union City, N, J. Kuhn and Klapprott vigorously fje- nounced "aliens" and *'a certain mi¬ nority" while Caridi said "Germany and Italy can teach the world sonje- thing about how to live, something; about order and discipline."-

Magnes, president of the Hebrew University, as a feasible and hopeful plan for solving the Arab- Jewish impasse in Palestine, and en¬ abling both peoples to live in peace. In a letter from Paris to the New York Times, Dr. Magnes agrees with the report of the Royal Commission that the present mandatory. system must be (abandoned but rejects parti¬ tion as a solution because it will cre^ ate new bitterness and hatreds and leave the proposed Jewish state exr posed to Arab revenge and because it does not provide for "freely and openly negotiated agreement between Jews and Arabs." Blaming Jews,. Arabs and British for the.failure to make peace, and par¬ ticularly criticizing the- British ad¬ ministration in Palestine for having done nothing'"to try to create condi¬ tions in an atmosphere in which Jews and Arabs wotild be enabled, should they so desire, to negotiate an agree¬ ment freely and openly with one an¬ other," Dr. Magnes recommends that a new. mandate for Palestine should have two basic, points: "first, both Jcw^ and Arabs are in Palestine as of right and not on sulTerance; second, the chief reason for the mandatory's presence iti: Palestine is to endeavor to create conditions favorable to free and open negotiation of agreements be-: tween Jews and. Arabs, such agree¬ ments, to be incorporated progressively into the basic law of the land."' Revealing that even during last ycarV riots;-"some Arabs and, sOme Jews were able to work but a lot-Klines program, for the next ten years," Dr. Magnes declares that if limited mutual pacts were agreed to the Jews could, with Arab consent, "settle many hun¬ dreds of thousands of persecuted Jews in various Arab lands"; while former economic, political and cultural glory could be once more attained by the Arabs with Jewish help. Holding that both these are "worth a real price" and that there are Arab statesmen both in Palestine and elsewhere who real¬ ize this, he says that in the course of the negotiations which England must undertake with the League of Na¬ tions, the United States, the Jews and the Arabs in connection with partition "there should be many opportunities for prbposmg freely and openly nego¬ tiated agreements for limited periods between Jews and Arabs, between Jcw5 of the world and Ariibs of the world. If a first period of compara¬ tive peace from five to ten years could bie established, as I firmly .believe it can be, there "would be a necessary breathing space during which to pre¬ pare ifoi* the next five or ten years." After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages' of partition for both Jews and Arabs, Dr. Magnes further urges world Jewry to agree to the internationalizing and neutralizing of Jerusalem, with a constitution giving municipal. citizenship to all its bona fide inhabitants regardless of allegiance and providing that the head of the mu¬ nicipality should be in turn Jew, Chris¬ tian and Moslem. "Such a destiny for Jerusalem,'' he declares, "if finally planned and generously carried through, is of importance to all the world,, and it would redpiirid more to the honor and glory of the Jew than if Jerusalem were just the capital of the Jewish state." BERLIN (WNS)-:ForeignerB here with a Bcnsti of humor are chuckling over the , cliscovery that the plan to partition Pal¬ estine into Arab and Jewish states would incorporate into the Jewish state- the German colony of Sarona, outside of Tcl Aviv. Nazi leaders here are rer ported to have.expressed great resentment over this and there is talk of filing a formal protest with the British authorities. In November, 1936, the residents of Sarona protested to High Com¬ missioner Wauchope and the G.erman consul against: a new administrative plan which would join the German colony to the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv. David Lloyd George Brands Partition **Crazy Scheme" Snell Arraigns Government^ Says It Miide Mess of .Great Task LEHMAN'S OPPOSITION TO SUPREME COURT PLAN NEW, YORK (WNS)—Branding the proposed partition of Palestine as a "crazy scheme" and. a "deplorable ending to one of the most imaginative experiments which the. Great War made possible," David Lloyd George, war-time prime minister of England whose government issued the Balfour Declaration promising the establish¬ ment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, charges in an article copy¬ righted by Universal Service and American Newspapers, that partition "is a lamentable admission that Britain, owing to the feebleness, vacillation.ahd pussillanimity of her administrators, has failed to carry through the mis¬ sion entrusted to her by the leading nations of ^he world." Warning that partition "must necessarilylower Brit¬ ish prestige" and.qalling it a violation of a solemn pledge given, to 16,000,000 Jews "by the great nations in return for-services, pronriised and rendered, the wartime prime minister says thai .partition would leave the Jewish Na¬ tional Hpmc ' "mutilated and. left to shamble along, a' disfigured and shape¬ less cripple." . After praising in' glowing terms Jewish achievements in Palestine since 1917, UoydiSeorge declares that "the Arabs, h^ve every reason to be thank¬ ful for the war to which the Zionist pledge was incident, for thertreaties that registered Allied victory iii that war,", for "before the war there was not a single free Arab nation iii the world," while now at least four great Arab nations are independent and self- governing— Arabia, Iraq, Syria and l^gypt.

If it really wanted to, the British .Government could achieve peace in Palestine under the L^gue of Nations Mandate, he as¬ serted, pointing out. that the report ad¬ mits' that the Arabs had benefited from Jewish enterprise. Discussing the con¬ clusion of the Royal Commission that thc Manthte is unworkable, Lord Snell said.that the Mandate has nQt failed; the. Jews have succeeded and only the Palestine . Administration has failed* the Laborite leader said, charging it. with responsibility for the Arab dis¬ turbances. . ¦' Although the Palestine Government knew the source bf the disorders, it' took no notice of.;tliem and" did not suppress Arab incitemenit which was checked by.the efforts of the Jews, Lord Snell declared.

Although IJr, Coralnik took an in¬ terest in Jewish affairs and for a time held office in the Zionist Organization of America, the American , Jewish Congress, ORT and HIAS and served as president of the Ukrainian Jews in America, he was a free .and unattached critic of Jewish organizational life. His last few articles dealt with the Palestine partition plan. Drl Coralnik took the view that Americain Zionist leaders should not unreservedly reject the Royal Commission report but un¬ dertake steps to negotiate with the British government. . He regarded the establishment of the Jewish state as one Of the greatest events in modern Jewish history. ¦ Before he came to America he edited Europe, a Petrograd weekly, and served as correspondent for the Reich, another Petrograd paper, in Rome, Berlin and Copenhagen.

Viscount Cranbome declared that since Article 27 of the Mandate provides that the consent of the Coun¬ cil of the League is.required for modi¬ fication of the terms of the Mandate, the government would not consult any of the Allied Powers prior to placing its decision of policy before the League. ... Viscount Cranborne made this state¬ ment jn reply to a question by the Honorable R. D. Denman, National Laborite, who inquired whether the government would consult any of the great powers regarding its contem¬ plated creation, of Jewish and Arab States in Palestine. In his reply, Vis¬ count C^ranborne said that the Allied Powers and otlier countries mentioned in the preamble to the Mandate; were members -df the League and their status was defined under the terms of the Mandate. He pointed out that the Mandate was accepted under these conditions by the American govern¬ ment through the American-British Convention of 1924.

(WNS) — Oregon is mourning, the death of Julius L. Meier, governor of this state from 1930 to 1934 and the fifth Jew to be chief executive of an American state, who passed away at the age of 02. Son or Aaron Meier, one of the pioneer settlers of, Oregon, the ex- governor, entered the Meier-Frank Store which his father founded in 1857, after he had completed a law course. Until 1930 he was never interested in politics although he >yas one of the leading citizens oi Oregon, He was one of the pioneers in developing the Columbia .River lilffhway system. Dur¬ ing the World War he was Northwest regional director of the Council of National Defense, In 1930 when his law partner, George W. Joseph, died shortly after winning the Republican nomination for governor, Meier sought to replace him. When the politicians denied him the nomination he ran in¬ dependently and w-as elected by a land¬ slide vote. His term in oflUce was marked by the organization of a state police force/the reduction of the state deficit from $4,500,000 to $800,000 and the establishment of liquor control. Long active in Jewish affairs, he set a precedent by accepting the presidency of Congregation Beth Israel, Portland, while he was governor. He was also one of the honorary chairmen of a na¬ tional J.

Directors of Orphan Home Hear Annual Report of Superintendent CLEVELAN D—The Unusual health record arid an experiment in home- making were stressed by: Michael Sharlitt, superintendent of Bellefaire, the Jewish Orphan Home at Cleve¬ land^ in his annual report,to the meet¬ ing of Trustees"dnd-Directors, in con¬ junction, with a homecoming celebra¬ tion attended by more than 500 alumni, on Sunday, July 17th. Reporting i>n the health of the chil¬ dren, Mr. Sharlitt stated: "There is a single circumstance about the year. just comjpleted which appeals to me with particular interest. It is the report of our physician that for twelve months from July 1, 1936, there has not been.a single case of contagious sickness among our .225 children, and that there have. been fewer bed patients in the past year than in any year since we have.been at Bellefaire. While there was a hope¬ ful expectancy that the health'would be improved in cottage surroundings in a suburban setting such as ours, many years ago there was a general impression that institutions would acT celerate contagion. Our physician is of the. opinion that the manner of liv¬ ing, the standards of life, the profes¬ sional supervision, supplied in all phases of the life at Bellefaire makes for prevention When contagion is im¬ minent, and a reasonable degree of control, once it finds a foothold on the campus. "Side by side.with the hospital rec¬ ord just referred to is the hopeful growth of the, children physically. Comparing a confirmation class of 1922, of 24: boys and 20 girls, with the 1937 class of 22 boys and 18 girls, the average weight of the boys increased from 109 lbs. to 134j4 lbs., and their height from 5 ft. 2>^ in. to 5 ft. 7 in. —a gain of 25'/i lbs. and 4J4 in.; the average weight of the girls increased frpm 111 lbs. to 113 Ibsi, and their .height from 5 ft. to 5 ft. 2J/5 i'n.™a gain of 2 lbs. and 214 in. I.like to feel that the complete change in life is responsible for this . accelerated growth, bringing bur boys ahd girls' more nearly up to normal standards of height and weight for their age and racial group. We must keep in mind throughout the consideration of this phase of our work, the fact that all of our children come from broken homes, that many timst have suffered the limitations of table and diet re¬ flected in a broken home and that, consequently, the strength of our med¬ ical service in this regard is especially salutary." / The superintendent^ described also the intensive work that is being done in the matter of vocational guidance. In this connection, he told of the household management experiment for twelve post-confirmation girls, iU' which these girls have been placed ini one cottage with the responsibility of everything incidental to making it a • iConfittited on page 4) iVozfs Issue Regulations fot Jewish School ChSdreh BERLIN (WNS) —New regula-: tions governing the admission of Jews to public high and elementary schools were announced here by Minister pf Education Bernhard Rust. His order sets, up a numerous clausus of 1^^^ for tlie number b£ Jewish students.to . be accepted in the total number of new high school students. It also provides that "half-Jews" are to enjoy equal rights with full Aryans but .:non- Aryans may attend Jewish classes if they so desire' but those who do will not he eligible for first class citizen¬ ship. , He further decreed that Jewish children are to be admitted to elemen¬ tary schools Only in towns or villages where-there are no Jewish schools, biit even in such cases the Jewish young-r sters can. attend only lectures, being excluded from sports and other extra¬ curricular activities; At the same time thC: Black Corps, official organ . of the Storm Troops, launched a campaign against "white Jews", whom it defined as "persons of Aryan blood Who have shown them¬ selves receptive to Jewish intellect, to - which they are enslaved." Demanding a broadening 'of the definition of Jew, the paper called for extending the term Jew "to those of Jewish feeling, Jew¬ ish intellect and Jewish character. All representatives of Jewdom in German intellectual life: must disappear, even as the Jew himself." As an example of a "white Jew'', the Black Corps cited Prof. Werner Reisenberg of Leipzig, 1932 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, "who must be removed as a representative of the Jewish mind in Germany."
