the delegates and correspondents

EDI TOR IAL
HOW TO DEAL WITH
IDIOTIC HENRY AND HIS
HIRED LIAR.

1t is only as an outlet for our
feelings that we devote some
space every now and then in the
columns of this paper to the dis
cussion of the imbecile Knight of
the "Tin Lizzie" and his hireling
slanderer. We know that it is
waste of effort and a waste of
paper. 1t is read only by our
Jewish subscribers and they are
by this time sufficiently informed
about the Dearborn nest of blood
thirsty maniacs.
The same may be said of all
our Jewish contemporaries, in
GLIDING The American Hebrew
that recently even issued cha1-
lenge to the Dearborn Hamans.
The same holds true even of the
propaganda so far carried on by
the Anti-Defamation League of
the Bnai Birth, even in its circu-
lation of special pamphlets con-
tanning Exposures" of the vip-
ers. We Jews are after all the
only ones reached by them; the
only ones who take notice of
them. They make no impression
on the bloodthirsty hyenas, nor
on our non-Jewish neighbors
whom they don't reach land who,
even when in receipt of such a
pamphlet, give it little attention.
This the Dearborn. liar well
knows, and therefore continues

his lies week after week undis-
turbed.
Our defense and our propagan-
da against the Humans must be
carried on thru the medium of
the general public press. A Dear
born Independent must be fought
to standstill by an American In
dependent, by one or two weekly
magazines, without any special
label, and with large circula-
ton turnout the country. Our
brethren in the East seem to real
ize the necessity of reaching the
general public thru the public
press, The idea seems to be to
publish replies to the Dearborn
hired liar in the big dailies of the
country. An Eastern contempt
rary even suggests that we buy
advertising space in the big dali
lies in which we may directly ap-
peal to the American public's
sense of fairness, and urge the
readers to stop the rascally in
stigators of pogroms in America.
But an advertisement is generally
treated by the reader as an adj
vertisement, and in this instance
will, we fear, make the very OPP
posite impression Of the one in
tended. Besides, it seems to us
very undignifed procedure for
great group of citizens to adopt.
Cannot representative group
of American Jews, say, the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, or the
I. 0. B. B., own and publish one
or two weekly magazines of ma
tional circulation, of general lit
erary and scientific character, in
cidentally to be used for showing
up the modern Humans, and ex-
posing their stupid lies Ford's
hired liar insists that we control
the press, just as we control
everything else. Well, then, let
us at least take the valuable hint
and control one magazine in
which we may, when the need
arises, show up the contemplate
liars. If Ford discovers that for
every copy of the Dearborn indie

ton copy of an American In

way, that may be self-supporting,
if it becomes a good advertising

ton was done calmly and DELHI
erately and with dispatch. Re
ports were read and approved,
and resolutions adopted.
The differences between the
European and the American Zion
lists, it seems, have been peaceably
and amicably settled. That is
worthy achievement. World
Zionism must be united and sol
idifed if the work for the Jewish
homeland is to produce the best
results. Working at cross pur-
poses, and having different aims
and objects in view will only
hamper the work and discourage
the workers, and even undo some
of the good already accomplished.
While America can furnish mon
ey, and plenty of it if need be,
Europe can furnish the men and
the motive power of the ideal.
A most welcome change in the
administration of the organiza-
ton was adopted at the conven-
ton, change long past due,
namely that no sa1aried officials
or workers should be members of
the Executive Committee. That
those who receive salaries from
the organization should also han
die all the moneys and have
most of the say in the organiza-
ton, in fact, act as if they were
the leaders of American Zionism
was the anomalous position in
which the organization found it.
self. That will be different now.
Yet, in the main, the reorgani-
cation that we hoped for did not
materialize. Even the plan of the
Chicago delegation to organize
autonomous declarations of dis
tricts which shall be represented
in a central national executive
body, was according to reports,
rejected. Evidently New York is
determined to continue to control
the national organization, in spite
Of the poor showing it has all y
along made for itself both in
membership and financial con-
.ributions. The New York Zion
st leaders who have shown them
selves so inefficient and so neg
igent in their own proper terri
:ory still insist on managing the
Zionist affairs of the whole coun-
ny. Zionism will again be the
oser by it. We predict that Zion

House Committee on Ways and
Means Gives Approval to New
Tariff Measure.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The house
ways and means committee today
vtoed out the Fordney Emergency
tariff bill designed to protect the
farmers giving it their approval.
and instructed Chairman Fordney
to make all efforts possible to OBJ
tain action on its before the Christ
mas recess.
Representatives in the house from
the agricultural districts pledged
their support today to the FordEey
emergency tariff bill, but instructed
a committee to urge that frozen and
refrigerated beef, lemons and
canned salmon be included in the
list Of imports on which high tar
IFS would be imposed.
Action by the conference Of men,
bers from the agricultural districts
came only after spirited discussion
during which there were charges
that the house. ways and means
committee had drafted a makeshift
bill and that certain commodities
had been included or'omitted from
the high tariff last ''as a sop" for
different classes OF voters.
In finally approving the bill. the
committee made two changes,
lemons were added to the list and
an import duty Of " cents per
pound established. The rate on
peanut oil was increased from 20
to 26 cents a gallon.

Berlin, Dec. 20-Surrender to the
allies of 100000 milch COWS, which
have been demanded under the
terms Of the Versailles treaty,
would have disastrous results in
Germany, says a letter to the wo-
men of France from a committee
Of German women. Continued de-
privation of the German people OF
the milk supply represented by
these cows would result in weaken
ing public stamina and individual
resistance. .and, therefore, would re-
duce the ability of Germany to full
fill treaty obligations through
necessary production, it Is said.
For nearly six years the popula-
tions of German cities have not
had milk, the letter asserts, and,
owing to this fact, the death rate
from tuberculosis has doubled
since 1913, and $4,000 more chill
dren died in 1918 than in 1913.
In Prussia, there has been an
increase in child mortality of 100
percent alone. The whole ques-
ton is not one of German good
will, the letter says but is of life

OF expenditure for the navy is sui

which necessitate such large arma-
ments.
