AMERICAN JEWISH CONGRESS.

The granting of the mandate by the
Peace Conference to Great Britain un-
der the conditions which assure the
establishment of Zion as a Jewish
national homeland brings to q dram
attic climax the long struggle for the
regaining of Jewish nationhood. In
that struggle the Jews of America
have played a most important role,
first in extending generous aid to the
Zionist Organization over period of
many years and second in the organi-
cation during the time Of the War of
the American Jewish Congress which
speaking in the name of the whole of
American Jewry backed up and
strengthened the demands of the Zion
list movement and of the Jews from
various lands placed before the Peace
Conference for a Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
The two predominating motives in
the formation of a central organiza-
ton to speak and act for the whole of
American Jewry were, Of course, the
Jewish aspiration for the restoration
of Palestine as the national homeland
and the desire to secure full civil, po-
litical and minority rights for the
Jewish population in the different
lands of Eastern Europe. The resolu-
ton adopted by the American Jewish
Congress on the question Of Palestine
now assumes special significance. 1t
occupies an important place in the
now historic memorial known as the
Zionist Proposals." which the Zionist
World Organization presented to the
Peace Conference on February 26th,
1919. On Page Z Of this document APP

National Loan Here, Makes Rec

Senior Tarafa, who recently made an
unsuccessful trip to the United States
for the purpose of negotiating a Gu
ban loan of $100.000.000 with Ameri-
can bankers, has submitted to the
president q number of suggestions
which, he believes. will straghten
out the financial situation in the
island.
In case there are legal obstacles to
Cuba being admitted to the United
States federal reserve system, Senior
Tarafa declares the United States
government should be invited to CO.
operate with Cuba in establishing in
this city a bank Of emission. Another
plan suggested is that invitations be
extended American banks enjoying
the confidence of the Federal Reserve
Board to establish here, in agree
ment with the Cuban government.
bank Of emission under the same
regulations that govern the United
States federal reserve banks The
Washington government also should
be asked to set up a branch in this
city to take up dirty and insanitary
American bank notes and replace
them with new bills.
Other recommendations include the
issuance of two series of bonds to
secure bank loans: governmental
of savings deposits of
workers; inspection of banking in
stitutions by a proposed national
treasury commission, which would be
given the power to suspend govern
ment loans to banks found guilty of
violating regulations

VOLSTEAD LAW TAX
CONDEMNED BY COURT

NEW ORLEANS. December 24.-Op-
ponents of the $500 tax clause of the
Volstead prohibition law won a
sweeping victory in the United States
district court here yesterday. when
Judge Foster granted injunctions re-
stralning Rufus W. Fontenot, col
lector of internal revenue. from at
tempting to seize property of three
alleged violators to enforce payment
of taxes.
Judge Foster not only decided that
the process Of collection by distrsint
and seizure of property, as resorted
to by the revenue department., was
Illegal, but held that the charge which
Congress sought to impose under sec
ton 80 of the Folstead act lacks
every fundamental element of the
tax
In rendering this decision Judge
Foster reversed the recent ruling of
federal Judge Hazel of Buffalo. n. Y.
who sustained the legality of the
Eolstead tax. The conflicting opin-
ions of the two courts of equal juris-
diction- are the only rulings on the
subject to date.
The immediate effect of this deci-
sion will be to stay the collection of
many thousands of dollars which the
revenue department has assessed
against residents of this city ac-
cused of making or selling intoxi-
cants.
Subject to instructions from Wash
ington, it is said that Henry Mooney,
United States district attorney. plans
to file an appeal in collector Fonte-
not's behalf. Whether the appeal can
be taken directly to the United States
Supreme Court, or must first be taken
before the United States circuit court,
is said now to be under consideration.
