WASHINGTON, D. C, (WNS)—, With tlie slogan "a' dollar for every jew in America"'the National Con- fcrqncc for Palestine, brought ita two- day meeting to a close by unanimously approving a quota of $;l,500,000 as American Jewry's 1937 share in the iiiiaiicing of Palestine recoilstruction, and adopting a resgliitiou calling on the British govet'nment to do nothing to endanger Jewish rights in Palestine. More than 1,500 delegates,, represent-^ ing 2,000,000 Jews of every shade of opinion and including Orthodox, Re-: form and Conservative elements as well as Zionists and non-Ziqnists, atr tended the Conference, which was con¬ vened by the United Palestine Appeal in association with Ad national Jewisli ,organizations,
Highlights of the conference were a message from President Roosevelt acclaiming the 'Vitality and,Vision of the Jewish pioneers in Palestine," and addresses championing Jewish rights in Palestine by Secretary of Agricul¬ ture Henry Wallace, and Senators Wat'rcn Austin of Vermont,,-George W. :Norris of Nebraska, Henry Ca¬ bot Lodge oi Ma^ssachusetts and Con¬ gressman Hamilton Fish of .New York. The message from the Presi-. dent reads as follows:
"Please convey my good wishes to thc ^men and women gathering in Washington for the National Confer- eiice , for Palestine which has been summoned by the' Unitdd Palestine Appeal, The American people, ever zealous, in the cause of hiiman free-; dom, have watqhed with ¦ sympathetic interest thc effort of the Jews to re¬ new iil Palestine: the;ties of their an¬ cient Homeland and to reestablish Jewish culture in the place where for centuries it flourished and whence it was carried to the far cornei-s of the world; This year marks the twentieth anniveirsary of the Balfour Declara¬ tion, the;keystone of contemporary reconstruction activities in the Jewish HcMTieland. -Tliogo ¦ two -decades ¦have- witnessed a remarkable exemplification of the vitality and vision of the Jew¬ ish pioneers in Palestine. .It shduld, be a source of pride to' Jewish citi¬ zens of the United States that they, too; have had a share in this great work of revival and restoration. It gives me great pleasure to send all who are participating in your delibera¬ tions hiy hearty felicitations - and wai-mest personal greetings.".
In its resoliitioii on the British Royal Commission, which was pre¬ sented to, the British ambassador by a special committee, the conference expressed the hope, that the Comriiis- sion in its findings would bear in mind the fact that Palestine^ is the hope of hundreds of thousands of harassed J^ews in Eastern "and Central Europe and that its report would be in the "spirit of. the nobility and broad-, heartedness symbolized by the Balfour Declaration and*, through .England's acceptance of the Mandate over Pal- .estine." The Conference also as¬ serted the right of Jews',to enter Pal¬ estine, to the full extent of the coun¬ try's economic absorptive cap^city.and to be permitted to buy land freely, and emphasized that the Jews have no de¬ sire to interfere with the economic rights of the Arabs nor to dominate them, but seek' harmonious coopera¬ tion withthem for the peaceful up¬ building of the country. Confidence in the Jewish Agency and its policies was also voiced. The 1037 campaign will be directed

In February'and, March, 1033, Mr. Van' Paassen visited Germany and was arrested by the Nazis on the sus-^ picion of aiding several Jews in escap¬ ing from the Hitlerite house of-bond- agc.

Organized Plan to Get U.S. Loan (or Germany
WASHINGTON. D. C (WNS)—   ^ A quiet but well-organized plan to get the United States Government to ap- jjrove  a'plan   for   saving   Germany from bankruptcy by permitting'Amer¬ ican bankers to participate in floating a German loan is being pushed.here. Ther.' .recent..^visit.j:1q ,.iWashin^tQa.^.oL^-.¦ Sir   Walter   Eunciman,   president  of the British' Board bf Trade, was the first step in. this scheme. Sir Walter   ¦ is understood  to have  discussed  the- matter.with President Roosevelt. Brit-, ish   diplomatic   circles .arc   bringing   : pressure to bear on the State Depart¬ ment and  memhers of Congress  are   .' being sounded oiit with  regard to^ a modification    of    the   Johnson    Act, which forbids loans to nations in de¬ fault   on   tlieir   obligations   to   the United   States;.: to. permit  a  German loan.    The British argument is that   ¦ only a loan to Germany can prevent a war in the; near future.. It is also   , reported    that   the   appointment   oi Henry  Grady, as American delegate ¦ to the   German   conference   on   the world study of raw materials dove¬ tails in with this plan v/hich would return   to   Germany   some' pf   her colonies.       ¦
Meanwhile it is learned' that the Federal Export-Import Bank is try¬ ing to. find'some way; of underwriting the sale of American'raw materials to Gerniany. In official circles the . feeling is: that if Germany can get American raw materials she will soft pedal her demand for colonies and curtail her armament program and ¦ thereby allay the threat of war. A syndicate of important exporters is dickering with the Reich for. a barter deal by which Germany/would get American cottbii in e^cchange ior German, toys, potash and machinery.
