“Dear Sir:

‘Random Thoughts' referred to
rumors that forty thousand Jews
are about to emigrate .to Mexico

United States acting on the re-
ports from Berlin, Germany, are
conducting a series of ‘Protest
Meetings’ in the large communi
ties in this country against the
alleged persecution of their
countrymen in Galicia, Poland...
These Protest Meeting* remind
me of similar charges made by
Jewish people against the Pollan
authorities immediately after
the World War but during the
PolishBolsheviki struggle. The
Jewish people, however, acting
on advice sent a commission to
Poland to verify these charges.
The eommiaaion found that they
were false.”
While it is true that a Commission
was sant to Poland as the writer men-
tions,- th* fact remains that unfortu-
nately a member of that-Commiiaion

of this remarkable Mayor is Houde.

be removed from office. No aelf^e-
apecting constituency can tolerate
such a prejudiced man as Its Chief
Executive. I don't know to what ex-
tant the Jews of Canada are pre-
pared to take such insults from a
public official. I know that in this

of support, this situation is very seri-
ous, and warrants the public’s imme-

The Jewish Consumptives’ Relief
Society is the largest Jewish sana-
torium for thentuberculous in the
country. For 26 years it has treated
thousands of patients without any

depression, the work of an institu-

particular importance and necessity.

.‘‘Palest inr is not the greatest of
England’s troubles. It is a mere
Speck against India with her millions.
We can't oX,pcr*t even the iidminis-
ration to take a vigorous interest in
Palestine, unless we keep the problem
before it b,v constant education.
Thirteen years ago, Mr. de Haas and
I got 64(1,000 actual signatures on a
document asking that the Palestine
Mandate he given to Great Britain.
That impressed Great Britain. It im-
pressed the #world. It is such uni-
versal rffltnifestation of Jewish in-
terest in Eretz Yisroel that makes
them realize the extent of their
promise,
“The united Jewish cry after the
White Paper had an equal effect.
Some statesmen thought the White
Paper would divide the Jews. They
thought the non-Zionists would ac-
quiesce. while the political Zionists
wasted their power in trying. But
they were wrong. Never has there
been a more universally united
Jewry.
"We must keep on wprking, but
not with the spirit of sacrifice or
defeatism. In Palestine there is none
of thnf. No one has sacrificed his
life in coming there. They’ve done
what they wanted to do. Their at-

we'd have this opportunity now, and
the world won’t back out. England
announced it, the other nations en-
dorsed it, America included —. and
they’ll stand behind it.”
Judge Mack told in a thrilling,
boyishly happy way of how he
danced in the streets of Tel Aviv on
Simchas Torah. Then he described
another, joyous holiday—in the farm
commune Digania, where he wit-
nessed the ceremony by which the
settlers admitted into full member-
ship their 18-yoar old children, who
had been born in the settlement.
"So you see, there is a second gd()-
eration, and they stay there, Aejr
want to lead no other kind of life’!”
he said.
.He described the vast possibilities
of the Haifa port; told in detail of
the success of such communities as
Dilb, which had planted orchards in
bare rock, and raised fine fruit;
spoke of the thriving orange and
grape-fruit plantations that are
rapidly spreading over Jewish Pales-
tine; and detailed the vast possibili-
ties for chemical industry as a result
of the Dead Sea enterprise. “Per-
haps thousands of workmen will be
employed. A great industrial center
may be built right there at the Dead
Sea, for th* company has provan
that Jewish workmen can thriva
there. Or, the plant may be in Haifa.
But the Industry will be a Jewish in-
dustry!”
