Columbus Jewry deserves to be con¬ gratulated on the. successful manner in which it wound,up the campaign for the local United Jewish Fund.; Practically every Jew who was approached and so¬ licited did his duty Willingly and-gen¬ erously. ,¦ The officers of the United Jew¬ ish Fund often cJtpressed gratification at the fine spirit of cooperation evinced on all sides^
The 'beautiful slogan-"Air. for One and One' for All In Living and In Giving" was carfied out in such a unique fashion that rhe entire comnninity was amazed. Never before in the history.of Jcvvish life in this city did our [ieople niake a better showing. Every element was in¬ fused with thc finest spirit of humani- tarianism and each gave according to its means and even more.
Second Quarterly Payment
The second quarterly payment on the sLibscriptions are now due aiid eVery subscriber to the Fund is'urged by the officers, to make his remittance at once.

'Chairman Schanfarber' trusts that every subscriber 'will respond immedi¬ ately. According to his letter published elsewhere in this issue, eight hundred givers have subscribed approximately t235,000 to the United Jewish Fund. Since there; ar;e still about two hundred unsubscribed prospects in the community, there is no question but that thp. $250,000 quota, will he attained. Mr Schanfarber desires to bring home to evcty sub¬ scriber the vital necessity of prompt pay¬ ments of subscription^ as they mature.
A Remarkable Transformation
It IS worthy of note that the United Jewish Fund has brought about a re¬ markable transformation, in Columbus. It has welded the various groups which go to make up this community and has' brought them into closer touch with each other, thus creating a wholesome feeling of mutual sympathy and under¬ standing.   By pooling their efforts these
various groups have prevented'the dupli¬ cation of expense and energy and have obviated the necessity of separate drives. The Chuonicle, which has been cooper¬ ating in every wjiy in consummating the drive, has noted with much gratification the salutary effects it has had on the en¬ tire community. '

Gentlemen:
I WANT to take this opportunity, in issuing my first public statnnent in connection with the United Jewish Fund of Colinn¬ bus, to express to you my heartfelt appreciation for the splendid cooperation which you Itave given us in making this rather tiew atid extraordinary c.rpcrimetit thc success which it has already attained.
Appro.iitnately eight hundred givers have subscribed a sum in c.rcess of appro.timately $2^s,coo.oo to this Fund ivith which we hope to meet the demands already accepted by our coiU' munity and tho.sr which will be made for Jewish philanthropic, cultural aitd cdtuatiotial purposes during the coming tliree years, other than those for purely local purposes.
We hope to attain our goal of $25o,qoo.oo very shortly; for there are appra.rimately two hundred unsubscrihcd prospects in the community, who, since the organisation has been etitirely perfected, will he carefully checked up with the end in view that each person in the roiitmtinily, who is able, will bc given ati opportutiity to subscribe to this most worthy cause.
THE IMPORTANT THING WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU STRESS IN YOUR COLUMNS UPON THE SUBSCRIBERS IS THE NECESSITY FOR PROMPT PAY¬ MENT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS AS THEY MATURE. IF WE INTEND TO DO THE FINE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SET OUT TO DO, THE SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST BE PAID PROMPTLY.
/ (H« sure that your paper n'iH cooperate with us to the fullest e.vtcnt in bringing about furtlier desired results, so that the Colunibus United Jewish Fund loill continue to grow from strength to strength.

Who is redeeming Palestine'' Every Jew ought to know it.' It is the Jewish National Fund (K^ren Kayemeth le Israel), founded by Theodor Herzl in 1901, that redeems the soil of Palestine as the inalienable property of the Jew¬ ish people; it also improves the ground by draining swamps, drilling wells and laying out roads, thus making the land fit for cultivation; and it then turns over the land in hereditary lease, on easy terms, lo any Jew who may be will¬ ing and capable to work it.
All the settlements ,bf the heroic Jew¬ ish Halutzim (pioneers), the pride and hope of agricultural Jewish Palestine, arc to be found on the,land of the Jew¬ ish National Fund. The entire coloni¬ zation work of the Keren Hayesod is being carried out on National Fund soil. The National Fund also'provides the sites for Workmen's Suburbs ¦ and Garden Cities, as well as for important Natioi al Institutions. The National Fund also plants trees on its estates in hundreds of thousands, thereby making the climate more healthful and the soil more fertile.
Fine Opportunities
An the land thus far acquired by the Je\frish National Fund, approximating 200,000 dunams, is alre^idy occupied. There is no more free land available for the hundreds of Halutalm who are al¬ ready waiting in Palestine to be colo¬ nized and the thousands of them who arc on the way to, Palestine.; On the other hand, fine opportunities now offer them- selyes for the acquisition of large an'l valuable tracts of land, but thesq op¬ portunities may be missed because of a lack of funds. ^
The Jewish National Fund therefore appeals to every true Jew to.donate on the'Ninth of Av, the day of national mourning, a piece of land jn Palestine for the Jewish people. Let the wealthy give according to theii" nieans. Of the noti-wealthy we ask that every one of them.should give or collect among his IContittued on page 4J
NEW YORK.^The present situation c^f thc Jews in Mexico as well aa a dis¬ cussion of the possibilities of Mexico as a land for Jewish migration are pre¬ sented in an authoritative and scholariy neport by Dr. Maurice B. Hexter, Ex¬ ecutive Director of the Federated Jewish Charities of Boston, which has just been published .'in pamphlet form and sent out to the delegates to the Atnerican Jew¬ ish Coiigrcss and to the .constituent or¬ ganizations of the Emergency Comniittee on Jewish Refugees- This essay which originally appeared.in the Jezifish Social Qvarto'ly. is a summary of a r<-port pre¬ pared by Dr. Hexter for the Emergency Comniittee on Jewish "Refugees, which in April, IJIJo, sent a Commission con-, sihting of Dr, Hexter and Mr. Charles K. .^snis of Philadelphia, to investigate conditions of Jewish iinniigrants resident 111 !Mexico and to report its findings on the question whether further Jewish migration to Mexico shoiild be'encour¬ aged.
Dire Conditions
The Emergency Committee on Jewish Refugees, It will be recalled, came into being through a conference of various central and national Jewish organiza¬ tions, on June 22, 1921, as a result of the activities of the American Jewish Con- press in arousing public opinion to the dire corditions of the Jewish refugees stranded in various European ports. This agitation led ,to a conference of .repre¬ sentatives from all groups in Jewish life at which the Emergency Committee was organized with the purpose of raising a fund of $oOO,OOOi with which to meet the crisis that had arisen. Thanks to the generous response to the appeal of the Committee under the leadership of Louis Marshall and Dr. Stephen S Wise, the very acute refugee situation has-now been practically disposed of, only about 300 out of over 6,000 refugees being left in the different ports of Europe.
Against  Emigration
' Dr. Hcxter's investigation led to a 'definite discouragement of all plans I which had been set afoot in recent years with regard to Jewish emigration mto Mexico. Dr. Hexter reached the conclu¬ sion that."colonization in Mexico, should not only not be encouraged hut should definitely and firmly be discoqraged- No 'investigator or student of the subject of Jewish emigration to Mexico," says Dr. Hexter, "is prepared to recommend other¬ wise. . . . Only in the minds of steam¬ ship agents, petty Jewish politicians, cer¬ tain Mexican officials and harassed; suf¬ fering and desperate Jewish emigrants does such a thought prevail."
