can-Jewlsh delegation to the peace con-
ference, at a dinner in his honor last
night at the Waldorf-Astor and la
ter at mass meeting in Carnegie Hall,
voiced adhesion to the principles laid
down in the covenant of the league of
nations and predicted the peace treaty
would be ratified.
More than three thousand persons
greeted Mr.. Marshall at Carnegie Hall.
The audience rose to its feet and
cheered for several minutes when Mr..
Marshall was introduced by Judge Ju-
liam Mack, of Chicago, the chairman.
The hall was decorated with Amer
lean flags, while upon the platform
were seated many of the foremost rep
resentatives of American Jewry and of
American social, political and financial
life. A chorus composed of the mem
bers of the Association of Jewish Can
tors sang hymns of praise and victory
in ancient Hebrew.
Rabbi Cyrus Adler, of Philadelphia.
one of Mr.. Marshall's confreres at
Paris, declared at the dinner that
every American, every Jew, every
lover of mankind, can engage in no
better work for the next few weeks or
months than to see to it that America
ratifes the treaty and ratifies it as it
stands" He characterized the argu-
ment that clause relating to re-
ligious liberty should be added to the
covenant as "sheer madness"
Says He Is Supre, But
The dinner to Mr. Marshall was given
by a committee of 1000, composed of
Jews from throughout the United
States. Jacob H. Schif was toast
master and the speakers, besides Mr..
Colonel Harry Cutler, of Providence,
R. l.; S. c. Lamport, Judge Mack, Morris
Winchefsky and Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise.
At the Carnegie Hall meeting, the
speakers included Felix NJ. Warburg,
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, the Rev. L. H..
Masliansky. David A. Brown was
present at the dinner as representa-
tive of the Jews of Detroit.
81 am sure the treaty will be rati-
fed" said Mr. Marshall, at the dinner.
1T must be ratified because it is right.
But, nevertheless, the time for rejoic-
ing is when the work is done and COM
pleted. AS a lawyer, | never believe
anything is finished until the deed is
signed, sealed and delivered.
But would feel that had not done
my full duty if l did not on this oc-
casion say a word in endorsement of
cause by the President of the United
States and every member of the Anne RI
can peace delegation, if | did not now
and every moment henceforth until
the work is done give expression to
my adhesion to the principles laid
down IN the covenant OF the league of
nations, if | did not speak in words of
praise of the great statesmen of Eng
land and of France and of Italy who
stood with President Wilson in this
work. and if l did not give voice to
my admiration for those splendid Jews
of Europe who cooperated in bringing
about the results which are the occa-
sion of this rejoicing.
Pleads for Jewish Unity
Judaism is not big enough to per-
nit within its ranks internecine quar-
rels. We must have unity; we must
cherish it, we must try to understand
one another, we must try to avoid diff
ferences. If we do that then our fu-
ture is secure; if we do not, even
though we have accomplished many
other purposes, danger still turks at
the door"
In his address in Carnegie Hall he
admonished the Jewish people to rec
ognize that with the granting of new
rights OF political, social and religious
equality must also come recognition
on their part of their new duties as
citizens OF the countries in which they
i've. he expressed tne nope LnaC IN
their new capacity as freemen they
will contribute as much to the great
ness and prosperity of their respec-
tive countries as did the Jewish peo-
pie of America to the greatness and
glory of the United States. He also
appealed for organized aid on the part
of American Jewry to the Jews Of
the countries devastated by the war
saying that now that the door of free.
dom has been opened to them it is the
duty Of American Jews to keep the
wolf of hunger away from that door
and to rehabilitate the wrecked regions
into peaceful and prosperous commu
mites.
