HENRY FORD FLAYED
BY JEWISH PEOPLE
FOR INDISCRETIONS
(sy The Associated Nssro Press).

(5y The Associated Naero Press).
New York, Dec 1O.-The Jewish
people of America have at last spok-
en- in no uncertain terms against the
propaganda that has been used
against them for a number of months
by Henry Ford and others who seek,
as they claim, to misrepresent their
attitude before the American people.
The document is signed by the lead
ing Jewish people, of all activities,
in every section of the country.
In closing the statement the fol-
lowing appeal is made:
1--WE have an abiding confidence in
the spirit of justice and fairness that
permeates the true American and we
are satisfied that our fellow citizens
will not permit the campaign of SLAM
der and libel that has been launched
against US to go unreproved. There
is enough for all of US to go in the
SANot NoSh VI OulluiHS up OuT COIuIUOH
country and of developing the prIn-
ciples on which it was founded. Let
not hatred and misunderstanding
arise where peace and harmony, unit
ed and brotherliness, are required
to perpetuate all that America repre-
sents and to enable all men to know
that within her wide boundaries
there is no room for injustice and in
tolerance"
This public address was prepared
as the result of a conference Of lead
ing Jewish organizations called by
the American Jewish committee to
discuss the widespread campaign of
secret and public anti-Jewish propa-
ganda in the United States.
The American Jewish committee
was Incorporated in 1911 in New
York state "to prevent the infraction
Of the civil and religious rights Of
Jews in all parts of the world, to
secure for Jews equality of economic,
social. and educational opportunity,
to alleviate the consequences of per-
secution, and to afford relief from
calamities affecting Jews whenever
they may occur"

tBy The Associated Negro Press

tBy The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, Dec 10.-Dr. Charles
E. Bentley of Chicago, Illinois, re-
garded as the most representative
man of the Race in dental surgery,
formerly president of the Chicago
Odontographic Society, and formerly
vice-president of the Chicago Dental
Society, the largest local dental So
ciety in the world, is delivering a
course of lectures at the Howard uni
versity, the subject of his first ad-
dress being Systematic Effects from
Oral Infection"
In his address Dr. Bentley said:
Possibly the most absorbing sub
ject Of interest before sne American
people today that affect alike the
lay, the medical and the dental
worlds is the subject of systemic dis
eases due to focal infections. It
has been found in the experimental
laboratories that diseased teeth are
responsible for a large percentage of
these systemic diseases, and as a re-
suit the whole practice of medicine
and dentistry are being re-organized.

Port Au Prince, Dec 1O.-"Eye
Witness, the special correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, who has been
giving careful observations of condi.
tions in Haiti, has declared that
drunkenness is at the bottom of most
of the trouble in the Republic, but
the drunkenness is among the white
foreigners, some officials, and not
the natives. His statement is most
remarkable, and he says:
After a fortnight of patient and
often disheartening observations of
occupation affairs l am convinced
that great part of the story of our
troubles may be told in three let
ters. They are RUM
To an American planter l said:
'I am beginning to think that may
be so per cent of all these scandals
are due to drink
"The answer was. More than so
per cent
During a fortnight in this black
republics capital have not seen one
black man intoxicated. All the in
toxication has been among white
foreigners, and sometimes even Of
ficials.
Col Russell, commanding the first
provisional brigade of marines, is a
most conscientious officer and cor
rect gentleman.
"Order after order is issued, but
the evil continues. Drinking here is
doubly vicious because rum is so po-
tent a stuff that it seems to fly
to the white mems heads almost
instantaneously, with the consequence
that intense nervousness and iras-
cibility, as well as diminished physi-
cal resistance, results.
II long debated whether to touch
on these matters, but they are so
fragrant that somebody should speak
of them"

JAPANESE TO REMAIN
QUIET FOR PRESENT
SAY LATE REPORTS
(ey The Ass0ciated NeerO Press.l

Geneva, Dec. 10.-Viscount Kikujiro
Ishii, head of the Japanese delega.
tion at the league of nations meet.
ing, announced that Japan will not
press the resolution for racial equal.
'ity at the present session of the
league assembly
Viscount Ishii addressed the as
sembly following a report on the
work accomplished by the committee
on organization, which was read by
A. ]. Balfour.
Japan had an opportunity when
the league covenant was framed to
declare her firm belief in equality
before the law" said the Japanese
statesman. I'VE believe that equal
ity should be assured to all men, ir-
respective Of nationality, race or re-
ligion
"The japanese government and peo-
pie deeply regretted that the orr
ginal trainers of the league covenant
refused to accept the Japanese pro-
posal. The Japanese delegates gave
secretary and Mrs. Joseph Hender-
upon adoption of the proposal.
However, in view of present cir
cumstances, Japan is strongly per-
suaded that the league is in a stage
where consolidation, organization and
actual workings, based upon the
present covenant, should be ac-
corded greater attention and deeper
deliberation than questions relating
to a fundamental principle which
might involve revision of the coven-
ant.
From that point of view. Japan is
refraining from making any concrete
proposal at the assembly on the
question of equal rights and equal
opportunity. Japan will patiently
bide her time until more oppor-
tune moment
