McDonald, chainnan ot the President's Ad- Visor^ Committee on Political Refugees, declared that despite the present war Palestine re¬ mains "the one great actual and the one great pdtentlal liaven for Jews fleeing from the War- stricken, horror-blighted coun¬ tries of Europe."
Mr. McDonald, who, as High Commissioner for Refugees from Germany, traveled all over the world looking for refugee settlement opportuhltles, point¬ ed out that "by the large, Pales¬ tine has absorbed for perman¬ ent   settlement   more   refugees

'I'Pales- tlne remains, as far as we can anticipate, the one great actual and the one great potential haven for Jews fleeing from the wa^strlcken, horror-blighted countries of Europe. Regard¬ less of the outcome of .the war, millions will have to find homes outside ot Europe.

Arnold Scldf f ^ 18, Dies Following Accident
The entire J^'wish community of Columbus was s.hock ed beyofid words on the sudden death of Arnold Schlff, age 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schiff, 2389 Bryden Road. He suffered a fractured skull as result of an automobile col¬ lision'last Monday morning near Postoriai 0., while on,his way-to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Arnold passed away Thursday morning in Fostorla City 'Hospital after j^very effort known to medical science was used to save.hislife-..:.- ..¦^:,.-  ¦',¦   ''...¦,   .,. .-..¦'
The tragic death of-so young a m^n' as Arnold Schiff reiaoyes from ouf midst a lovable character, one \vho possessed a moat pleasing personality, fine character afid amiable disposition. These and many other outstandbig cnaracterlBtlCs of this youthful man in Israel had endeared him to a Wide circle pf WendiS here and at the University of.Michigan where he^was a second year student, . He was a member of the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. Through his loyalty to Judaism which he imbibed in the home of his parents, who for years have been identified with every Je-OTsh endeavor in our communitjr,^ AmoI4 ^lad looked forward to the time when he would be given an opportujv Ity tp serve our people with' the same devotion as that of other members of his faimly. ,
Though fate has dealt a heavy blow upon his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schiff and his sister, Elain^, we hope the One on High will strengthen them in this dark liour.

Among the speakers iyho ad¬ dressed  the "Hochcster Confer-j ence of the United Palestine Ai>--- peal, which ia providing funds  ^ for continued immigration and colonization activities iq Pales¬ tine,   were ,Dr.   Nahum   Gold- mann,_mtaiber  of  the World   ,, ZlbriSst "Executive,  Mrs.  Loui^ Llpsky, Chairman ot the Execu ttve Committeei of the United Palestine, AppeM,, and  Henry Montor,' ejtecUttjre director of the United Palestine' AiJpeal.
Mr. McDonald'declared that the "cowardice of the men in high positions ahd their blind-,   > ness have made possible the rhe -<., of   Hitler.     He   questioned ? whether   conservative   Jewish f leaders in XlUigaany sensed the i)(ienace of Mltterism.    , ,   ^
