The Factor of Sudden Riches

An element of strength in the stock

Fauors England and America
as Trustees.

Pleas for the immediate opening of
Palestine as a new homeland for the
Jewish race were made last night in
Carnegie Hall by Jacob H. Schlff and
Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachu-
sets, who spoke at the annual meeting
of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society.
In the course of his address Mr. Schff
recalled that ten years ago when the
society was LAUNCHED he took a mortgage
of $4,000 on its home with the promise
that after ten years IL he believed the
society's work satisfactory he would
cancel the mortgage. He said that the
society's efforts toward aiding immigrant
Jews had more than met his require
ments and announced that the mortgag e
was cancelled.
Mr. Schif said Palestine was the only
homeland that could be provided for the
Jews and that he favored policy which
would prescribe either England or the
United States, or both. as the trustee for
the Jewish state.
John l.. Bernstein. president Of the
society. submitted a report reviewing the
work of the society since its organiza.
ton, in which time he said nearly $780,
900 Jewish immigrants had entered thl
United States In thirty years he said
1900. 600 of them had come here to scek
homes and freedom.

Former President Taft again aligned

basis for the covenant is found in the
fourteen points of President Wilson. as
outlined in the Presidents speech last
January.

Revclation by Justice Con-.

The Idaho Senator's eloquent renun-
citation of the un-Americanism of the
Wilson covenant followed a revelation
on the part of Supreme Court Justice
John w. Golf of what President Wilson
| actually said to the committee of Irish
men he consented to see last Tuesday
night when he barred Supreme Court
Justice Daniel F. Cohalan from the con-
| ference and preceded the adoption of
| resolutions calling on President Wilson
| to recognize the right Of Ireland TO self
determination and opposing any League
| of Nations guaranteeing the territorial
| integrity Of members OF the league or
which would interfere with the right Of
| the United States to control its own
| affairs.
Senator Borah. Just returned from
| Boston. received the heartiest kind of
welcome when he walked upon the stage
| at $50 p. NJ. Flags of the Irish Repub-
lie futtered from floor and galleries and
there was three minutes of cheering. The
, Senator began by saying of Robert En-
met that he was the incarnation of the
| national spirit of Ireland. Although
Emmett was executed his enemies could
not destroy the spirit OF nationality he
stood for, the Senator said. and he be-
lieved that spirit was stronger to-day
| in the Irish people than ever before.
| IF men only realized that they cannot
destroy the national spirit that lives
| in the hearts Of men. we would come
much closer toward obtaining permanent
peace than through any League of Ma
| tons" he continued. War would prac-
t!caly cease. Although for 700 years an
effort has been made to destroy the Irish
national spirit it is more vigorous than
ever before.

Uproarious cheers in two languages
testified to the approval OF the 5000 per-
sons who attended the meeting to COM
memorate the birthday OF Robert Emmett
and to record their opposition to any
world league that leaves Ireland out OF
its calculations. The cheers rang almost
as loudly when Senator Borah accused
ex-President Taft of "flabby and cow
ardly Interpretation" of the Wilson plan
and said that Mr.. Taft's construction of
the covenant as II applies to the Monroe
Doctrine was not justified by the facts.
