ZION PLAN FUTILE,
SAYS SMORGENTHAU
Former Ambassador to Turkey
Tells Jews to Yield Racial
Aspirations
MASSACRES EXAGGERATED

The plan to establish the Jews Of
the world in Palestine is a useless one.
according to Henry Morgenthau. former
American ambassador to Turkey, who
spoke before an audience of 400 in the
synagogue of congregation Rodolph
Sholom last night.
Mr.. Morgenthau was head of the
commission appointed by President
Wilson TO investigate the massaches
of Jews in Poland. He said the COM
mission found the reports Of the mas
sacres had been exaggerated.
''Money contributed in America for
the relief of the Jews abroad is only
a temporary solution of the problem. y
he said. "As long as the Jews con-
tinue in their belief that they must re-
suffer. There should be commission
sent out by American Jews to study
economic conditions. because only in
that direction lies real relief
One dominating cause of the trouble.
he said. is the fact that there are nearly
5000. 900 Jews who have no assurance
Of steady occupation. He said condi-
tions in Poland are terrible.
at is surprising to discern how
things are disintegrating and how men
are revertng to the primitive life he
said. You VIII have to sec those
towns. see lines of 400 and 500 children
waiting in line to receive pittance Of
diluted condensed milk and crackers !;
you will have to go to the small towns
Of 1000 and 5000 population where
people have no visible means OF sup
mort and follow Americans through the
streets in hordes literally crying for
help you will have to see the working
men with their gaunt and drawn faces.
TO appreciate the horrible plight Of
these people,
Describing the work Of the commits
sion, Mr. Morgenthsu said the Poles
in many instances claimed nothing had
occurred. but those who admitted the
persecution OF the Jews declared 1t was
Justified on the grounds that 1.-THE Jews
had helped the Germans, then the Boil
shevists."
Despite the antipathy toward the
Jews and incidents he described in
which thirty five Jews were stood
against wall and murdered and q
Jewish woman was stripped and foEged
by soldiers, Mr.. Morgenthau urged that
it was the condition of the Jews them
selves and not the attacks upon them
which called for first attention.

child with the idea Of holding him for
ransom. Another theory is that they
were hired to carry off the child.
Descriptions as complete as can be
obtained of the kidnappers have been
sent to the police in all towns in
wide area, with request that they
keep watch for suspicious characters.
At Atlantic City and other places all

Fuel Ban Lifted
as Miners Return
Continued From Page One

Lewis Nixon, public service commits
sioner, announced that it was hoped
greatly to relieve the stringency suf-
fered by stores in time for them to reap
the Christmas trade harvest. None OF
the restrictions on the use of fuel for
lighting, heating and power producing
purposes has been rescinded as yet,
however.
Chicago, Dec. 13.-(By A. P.)-
Partial relaxation of the rigid restric
tions on use of fuel, optimistic reports
regarding resumption of production in
virtually all fields and substantial 1c-
storation of passenger train service in
many sections today brought to the pub
lie the greatest measure of relief since
the coal situation became acute.
Miners in Indiana are hoisting coal
at rate fast approaching normal.
Reports received at headquarters OF
the United Mine Workers of America
are to the effect that the miners gen
orally throughout the bituminous re-
gions have responded to the instruc
tions sent out by miners officials to
return to work immediately.
Few miners returned to work in
Ohio mines today, but union officials
predicted that virtually all of the mines
in that state would be running full
blast Monday despite the action of sew
cral hundred miners in eastern Ohio
in voting to remain on strike.
Throughout the Kanawha and New
River coal fields in West Virginia
preparations were being made today at
all inactive mines to resume operations
Monday.
Miners throughout Illinois reported
at the shafts today. At some points
there were still local unions baking.
but kilograms from state officials and
orders from international headquarters
had the effect Of breaking down much
of the opposition.
Continued severe weather in the Pa =
citic Northwest and n return of sub
zero temperature in the Plains states
and Central and Southwest, with a
spread eastward. added TO discomfort
from fuel restrictions. Nebraska's 3 fuel
supply is at it's lowest ebb.
