DESCRIBES LEVINSON’S PART
IN “OUTLAWRY OF WAR"
Mr. D’lsrael Horowitz, student at
the University of Texas, spent the
week-end with his parents, Rabbi and
Mrs. H. J. Horowitz.
Council Sabbath service was ob-
served at Temple B’nai Israel Friday
evening at 8 o'clock in connection
with -the regular service. Mrs. Hy-
man S. Block delivered the council
address. Mrs. Dave Fisher gave the
opening prayer and Mrs* Louis Gins-
berg, the closing prayer. Several se-
lections were rendered by the temple
choir.
The eleventh annual’ Y. M. H. A.
Purim ball was held on Sunday eve-
ning at Kempner Park. Miss Betty
Jean Horowitz had charge of the de-
lightful entertainment program.
Tnosft who participated were: Misses
Elsie Schwaner, Marie Williams,
Betty Jean Horowitz, Esther Neve-

In “recurrent visits, Levinson brought
what might be called a struggling ray
of positivism. Levinson urged that it
was not enough to be against the
League. He insisted that it was neces-
sary to greet the League with a coun-
ter-attack. The fundamental evil was
war. The fundamental remedy was
law, international law.”
Speaking of Mr. Levinson’s per-
sonality, Mr, Hard states: “He is a
Jew. He has the Jewish facult/—so
seldom seen among Gentiles—of be-
ing at once a man of dollars and cents
and a man of dreams, of theories, of
commandments from Sinai.
“Does he come of 'a race of money-
changers?’ Yes; and he knows the
markets. Does he come of a race of
prophets? Yes; and I shall freely say
that I never realized what a fear-
some thing an Old Testament Jewish
prophet must have been, bow ag-
gressive, how inescapable, how over-
powering, how uplifting, how irri-
tating, how maddening, how good,
how nigh, how infinitely annoying to
human nature, how unforgettably ap-
pealing to it, till I knew Levinson.”

The deed for a site totalling 30,000
square feet on Sixty-fourth and Six-
ty-fifth Streets, purchased at a cost
of about $1,000,000, was presented
to Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the
congregation, on ithe occasion of his
fifty-fifth birthday.
Dr. Wise said that the cost of the
new site was already covered by funds
but that a further $1,000,000 would
be needed for the building. He said
that it was hoped to obtain $500,000
before June 1 and the balance be-
fore the end of the year. Dr. Wise
further expressed the hope that the
construction of the Synagogue-would
be completed in time for the cele-
bration marking the twenty-fifth an-
niversary of the founding of the Syn-

LEAVES BEQUEST OF $100,000
TO ESTABLISH SCHOLARSHIPS
AT HEBREW UNIVERSITY.
Ncw<York (JTA)—A gift of $100,-
000 or more will eventually accrue
to the Hebrew University in the form
of scholarships for Jewiah students,
according to the will of the late Dr.
Benedict Weieman. filed in Surro-
gates Court, Brooklyn. Dr. Welamon.
who was a retired physician reaiding
at 61 McKibben Street, Brooklyn,
died on March lat.
The will disposes of real estate
valued at upward of $100,000 and
provides that the residuary estate is
to be divided into 16 parte, the in-
come of each part of which is to go
to rslaidves of the lata Dr. Waiaman,
nieces, nephews and cousins. On the
death of tha beneficiaries, tha pfftn-
will revert to a corporation to
the admin tuition of I
of trustees. He has (jet'll succeeded
by Dr. Joseph Turner.
■During 1928 th. hospital treated
12,005 patients. There were 20(1,791
put-pattent department consultations,
Leo Arnestein, net ing president of
the b.oard, reported.
Total expense of the hospital for
1928 was $1,727,501.44. Of this
amount $173,443 uas received from
the Federation for the Support of
Jewish 1’liilnnthropii' Societies.
$150LQO0 CIVEN BY PAM
ESTATE FOR NEW CLINIC
Announcement was made recently
of a gift of $150,0(10 from the estate
of the late Max Pam to the Michael
Reese hospital, with which to inaugu-
rate a new chapter in metabolism re-
search: The f-und will tie Used to op-
erate the Max Pam Metabolic clinic,
to be established l*y the hospital.
Dr. William Thalliimer, director of
research laboratories at Michael Reese
who niudc the announcement, empha-
sized the fact that metabolism re-
search is among the costliest in
science.
When Max Pam. brother of Su-
perior Judge Hugo Pam, died-in 1925
his will provided that $200 000 of his
estate should be utilized for philan-
thropy, at the discretion of the exe-
cutors. The Max Pam Metabolic Clinic
is the result, as decided by Judge
Pam, Harry Hurd, former law partner
of Max Pam, and his brotherf-ln-law,
Walter Blumenthal and Joseph Baer
of New York. \
Under tho terms of the gift the
hospital is to provide the quarters for
the clinic, the equipment is-already
owned by it, and the operating ex-
penses are to come out of the fund.
It is hoped that the actual work may
be started by May 1 in the labora-
tories already planned, which will
contain beds for four patients at a
time, kitchenette for the preparation
of foods and a large research room.
THE GRAVE OF POLITICAL
ZIONISM.
(Continued from nage 1)
the British Government has not given
one dunam of the land it has at its
disposul to the Jews. The burden of
maintaining schools, hospitals and
other public institutions rests almost
entirely upon Jewish shoulders. The
British officials in power are neither
fair nor friendly to the Jews and the
Government at home makes no effort
to change this condition.
In the face of all this, it is becom-
ing clearer from dny to day that a
country cannot be built up through
mere philanthropy. In some instances

years later it again became essential

them with fear that at any momem
England might be embroiled in a con-

that all the powers which are at pres-
ent friendly to Zionism would retain
their friendship to a Jewish Palestine
if that country became a distinct pos-
session of Great Britain. The alter-

dominion seems, therefore, to remove

ism of seeing Palestine become “a
publicly secured and legally assured

farther than they are at present with

ben able to surviv.e because of the
hopes- and dreams which are now
coming to fruition in Palestine, and
if this cause should now be blighted
und die.-1 feel that those hopes and
dreams, ages old, could never be re-
vived again. In the light of history
'it seems impossible that* the Je\ys
could ever disappear ii* a people, but
the dcfci't of Zionism would place the
Jews in a greater hazard than any
conquest or progrom ever endured by
them. The failure of Zionism would
be a defeat of the Jews at their own
hands, und thus, their final tragedy.
"Secondly, the Zionist cause must
succeed for the sake "of humanity it-
self. *" Here in Palestine I have dis-
covered a laboratory in which are be-
ing worked out the problems of hu-
man kind. Here, in esseru-e. is every
problem and difficulty that is now
baffling the world. Here, in its most
intense form, is 'the problem of na-
tionalism, here is the question of ra-
cial differences, prejudices and fears..
Here because these problems in Pal-

culty they present a perfect labora-
tory for solution, and the’ Jew has
come like the scientist wiyi a test
tube, with his vision of justice, broth-
erhood and peace to work it out.
“No one can understand Zionism
if he sees it only in Jewish terms.
He must see it as a great human ad-
venture and heroic endeavor to prove
that the social ideals of the racer can
be made real on the earth. The fail-
ure of Zionism, would mean a failure
for us ail, just as a victory for Zion-
ism is a victory for all.
“Here heroic men are striving to
establish an ideal society in which
men of all races, creeds And colors can
live aa brothers. From this stand-
point it is spiritual—a matter not of
land and money, but of minds and
heart. From the standpoint of all
hopes of human kind I seriously think
that Zionism is - the greatest thing
the world has seen since the early
settlement in America, and incorpar-
ably the greatest thing in the world
today.
“My second great point is thaw
am convinced that Zionism can suc-
ceed. I say this in face of the fact
that I never realised until I visited
the Und the difficultiea involved and
the enormous labor that must still
be done.
