Obstacles in the way of Vladimir
Jabotinsky’s obtaining a visa to
settle in Palestine arose when the
leader of the Zionist Revisionists
applied for permission to re-enter
the country.
Mr. Jabotinsky intends to settle
in Palestine in connection with
his new duties as vice-president
of the Judea Insurance Company,
Ltd. He has not resided in Pal-
estine since 1921 when he, with
a group of the Jewish Self-Defense
during the Jaffa Arab riots, was
convicted of possessing fire arms
and sentenced to fifteen years im-
prisonment. The hero of Acre,
, as he was then known to the Jews
of Palestine, was released when
Sir Herbert Samuel annulled the
sentence.

worked out by the Department of
Labor. Secretary James J. Davis,
who returned from Europe where he
went to inspect the immigration serv-
ice of the various countries, confer-
red yesterday with immigration offi-
cers of the Department of Labor on -
this proposal and later will confer
with the Department of the Treasury
ana the Department cf State.
“I cannot understand,” said Secre-
tary Davis, “why we do not have im-
migration inspectors, together with
customs inspectors and public health
officers aboard the ocean liners in
order to do away with the necessity
of a stop in quarantine. During the
crossing, these officers would have,
if the plan is carried out, time to ex-
amine the passports and state of
health of those coming to America
and thus eliminate the crowding and
hurry during the time they board
the liners at quarantine until the
ship docks*
"It is not logical that these large
ships should stop at quarantine for
an appreciable time when they have
splendid hospitals and all necessary
conveniences to expedite the exami-
nation of aliens at sea. There is no
reason why we should not modernize -
our system, and I am confident after
having made this voyage aboard the
lie de France that my system of ex-
amination at sea will be employed
in the near future.”
Secretary Davis said that he be-
lieved the program could be worked
out between the Department of the
Government and that legislation
ligious bond is none other than a
spiritual outlook upon the universe,
Spinoza’s sub specia aeternitatis, and
that no Zionist nor other ought to
darken or confuse such outlook. The
Jew begins to see that the racio-
national bond which is interfused
with the Jews signifies not bondage,
to an ancient tribalism, but libera-
tion, through having a creative part
in the unfolding future of the Jewish
people, with its fadeless hope of
service to humankind, through spiri-
tual, ethical leadership.
“Verily, it might have been for
the Jew, that Mazzini unfurled the
banner, ‘Dio e popalo!’ ‘For God and
People!’, not through foreswearing
the God of Sinai and His eternal
Mandate; nor through desertion of
the children of Moses and Isaiah,
Maimuni, Spinoza, Mendelsohn and
Herzl will the Jew gain aught save
the awful penalties of self-content
and self-obliteration. i he Jew will

in which he holds high the standard,

Jewish- Situation in Rosh
Hashanah Message
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of
the American Jewish Congress and
of the Jewish Institute of Religion,
gave his views on the present situa-
tion of the Jews in the world, on
conditions in European countries,
and on the question of the Jewish
Agency, in a Rosh Hashanah mes-
sage related to the press.
If the Jewish Agency is to bring
about the long deferred union of
forces for the upbuilding of Pales-
tine, it will be an Agency for much
good; woe betide the Agency if the
mandate of the Berlin Zionist con
ference is ignored and Palestine be-
comes another realm of Jewish
charity, Dr. Wise declares.

Unofficial Statistics Show Percent-
tage of 512 Adhered to
Budapest, Sept.. 10. — (JTA) -Of
ficial information of the . number of
Jewish students admitted this semes
ter to Hungarian universities and
colleges could not. be .secured. in
view of the refusal of the, university
authorities to make public such fig-
ures. This refusal was said to be
the result of an order issued by Min-
ister of Education Klebelsberg.
Leaders of the liberals who inter-
ceded with the university authori-
ties concerning the matter were given
the assurance that the Jewish stu.
dents "will receive the same consid-
eration as in previous years."
Unofficial statistics published in
the Budapest press indicate that the
percentage of five and a half was
adhered to insofar as the applica-
tions of Jewish students were con-
cerned. According to these figures
the number of Jewish students ad-
mitted in the Budapest college
amounts to only five and a half per
cent of the total admissions. Those
excluded are mainly Jewish young
women. In the School of Philosophy
no Jewish women students were ad-
mitted.
The authorities were more liberal
in the admission of Jewish students
from the territories - which were
formerly Hungarian and have been
separated under the provisions of
the Treaty of Trianon., Of the forty
students admitted from this region,
six and a half per cent are Jewish.
Heartrending scenes occurred Fri-
day in the administrative offices of
the University of Budapest when a
considerable group of Jewish stu-
dents came to inquire whether their
registration had been accepted. On
learning that they were excluded,
many of them wept bitterly.

“Dear God, bless the Jews of Am-
erica, give to them health, happiness
and prosperity,—is the prayer that
will be offered by countless thou-
sand" of men, women and children in
all of those lands where for the past
fourteen years the Jews of America
have poured forth their love, sympa-
thy and money.
“For years wherever our people
have been gathered together for re-
ligions worship in those tragic lands,
they plead for God’s mercy and
God’s love to those Jews who have
shown mercy and proven their love.
"On New Year’s Day our syna-
gogues and temptes will be fitted to

up our prayors to God in thankful
ness for his blessings; for the privi-
lege of living in this land, for the
opportunities which have been ours,
and for giving us an understanding
of our duties and responsibilities to
those less fortunate.
"There will be many in this coun-
try whose loved ones are still in
those lands of misery and suffering,
who with blending hearts, blinding
tears and beating of breasts will cry
out in their agony, ‘How long, O
Lord, how long?’ Whose prayers will
be holy prayers for a more peaceful
day, a more happy day for flesh of
their flesh, blood of their blood.
"It is with this picture in my mind
that I greet you, my good friend, on
the approach of the New Year—a
picture burned deep into my con-
sciousness of our suffering people
offering up their holy prayers in a
voice, the cry of which is still ring-
ing in my ears.
"I greet you specially this year
because of the spirit which has car-
ried you on and has helped make
possible the continuance of the great
work which has enabled our people
to live physically and spiritually
during these many sad years.
“We have much to be thankful
for; past years of plenty, future
years of hope; but over and above
all, we should thank God for the vis-
ion to use properly our material pos-
sessions, and for the spirit of service

Kishineff, Sept. 12.—(JTA) —
The poor crop which will be reap-
ed this year is causing grave con
corn among the Jewish farmers
in Bessarabia. The Famine Com-
mittee crcated in 1926 is already
flooded with requests for help
from Jewish farmers who see fail-
ure of their crop in the districts
of Akermein, Kahul, Ismail, Kishi-
neff and Bender.
The Association of Jewish Co-
operatives and the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee are taking steps
to forestal suffering.
The Jews in the United States dis-

In those places where the Jews live
they constitute over eleven per cent
in the large cities, over three per
cent in the medium-sized cities, less
than one per cent in the small towns,
and over one and a half per cent in
rural areas, it is shown in the study
of the Jewish population in the
United States made by Dr. H. S.
Linfield, Director of the Statistical
Department of the American Jewish
Committee, which will be published
in the forthcoming issue of the Am-
erican Jewish Year Book. This study
brought out the fact that the Jews in
the United States numbered 4,228,-
000 in 1927.
Dr. Linfield’s survey shows that
other problem of gravest moment is
before Israel. God give it that the
year find the problem somewhat
nearer solution. Are we to melt
and drift without compass and rud-
away, to change the figure, to drift
dderx until we are wrecked upon the
rocks of a world which has not hos-
pitality for moral and spiritual dere-
licts? Sometimes, I am herrtened to

In the country as a whole the Jews
constitute 3.58 per cent of the total
population, but their density varies
greatly. This density is lightest in
the State of Idaho and heaviest in
the State of New York. "The density
of the Jews in the country varies,,
however, not only accordin gto geo-
graphic divisions of the country but
also, or better, especially, according
to another factor, namely the size of
densities at those years,” Dr. Lin-
field says, "it is not possible to make
comparisons or to trace the "move-
ment of the Jews from the ports of
their entry to the interior and from
the large places to the small places,
or to indicate the pace of their spread
over the country, But the striking
lightness of the density of the Jews
in the rural places and especially in
the towns of 25,000 or less would
indicate that their spread to these
places is recent.”
