Dear Frinds We often think

The most common type of building

the little boys gather IN crowds to
play. A little girl Is seldom seen at

ACTIVITIES OF ANTI
DEFAMATION LEAGUE

The publishing house of G. P.
Putnam's Sons has evidently
come to the conclusion that the
Jew is not responsible for all the
woes of the world. According to
letter just written to the Anti
Defamation League, the publish
ers agree that "The Cause of
World Unrest" is calculated to
do injustice to the Jewish people
of the world" and have decided
to print no further supplies. This
result was brought about through
correspondence passing between
the publishers and the League
within the past few days.
1t will be remembered that this
publishing house announced last
fall that it was printing and
would soon release new edition
of the "Protocols," which was in
tended as companion volume, to
the previous published cause of
World Unrest" In Difference to
objections that were raised last
November, the plans to publish
the "Protocols" were abandoned.
The firm, however, continued the
publication and distribution of
the "Cause of World Unrest"
In June of this year, the pub
fishers deferred to the objections
raised by certain Christian Scien-
lists to an article criticizing
Christian Science in one of their
publications; the volume was re-
called and another article inserted
in it's place. In explaining the
reason for this action, one of the
members of the firm stated that
the action had been taken "out
of proper regard for the sensi-
bi1ity of people who have ac-
cepted Christian Science as their
religious belief" Referring to
this action, the Governing Board
of the League wrote the publish
ers on June 10Th as follows:

NEAR EAST RELIEF WORK
AMONG JEWISH
REFUGEES.

One of the many activities of
the Near East Relief within the
past months has been in connec-
ton with the work of The Ameri-
can Joint Distribution Commit
tee which has established a
branch in Constantinople whose
task within the last months, has
been a most heavy one. Owing
to the large influx of Jewish refu-
gees, especially from the Ukraine,
a very serious situation has been
created, situation in which the
Near East Relief has sought to
help the Jewish organization as
much as possible. For, the prob
lem is a most distressing one, and
of unusual difficulty to cope with.
Many of the refugees came to
Constantinople hoping that they
would be able to emigrate thence
either to Palestine, whittier the
"Chaluzim" or pioneers are
bound, or to the United States
and to South America. When
they arrived in Constantinople,
however, they discovered that
their Russian money was prac-
tically worthless, and in many
cases they at once became
charges on the Jewish organiza-
ton.
1t was in such instances that
the Near East Relief was enabled
to work with and to serve the
Jewish refugees through the
medium of the Joint Distribution
Committee. 1t was found that
the funds which the Jewish work
ers had at their disposal were en-
tirely inadequate to meet the
needs of the many applicants for
help, and the Near East Relief
contributed the sum of one thou
sand dollars for each of the three
months January, February, and
March. In addition to this work
the Near East Relief helped sup
port the camp for refugees which
was established by the Jews at
Balatt, as the American Jewish
organization had not sent suffi-
cient funds to take care of all the
activities which it had been neces-
sary to undertake there.

IIllS llldlICl CllSOul dSSo 10 W P1S
sent our protest against the con-
tinued publication of another vol
ume now being published and
distributed by your company
which displays, to say the least,
a disregard for the sensibility of
people who have accepted Juda-
ism as their religious belief. This
book, The Cause of World I'm
rest is an attempt to prove the
authenticity of the Protocols by
comparing the program contained
therein with the trend Of current
events. The thesis of the anony-
nous writer, as stated on page
81, is that the Protocols predict
"a world revolution, and world
revolution carried out by Jewish
organization, and that the revolt
ton now in progress-the Boil
shevist revolution-is in fact car
ried on mainly by J Jews, and is
an attempt at world revolution,
AS proof that Bolshevism is a
Jewish movement, the writer pre-
sents an astounding mass Of half
truths and utter falsehoods. If
the book had been written by the
most bitter anti-Semite for the
purpose of melting hatred against
the Jew in this country, it could
not have been more insidiously
presented to accomplish that end.
Should not the keen sense of
fair play displayed in the Chris
tan Science episode dictate re-
examination by your Publishing
Board of "The Cause of World
Unrest? We are confident that
the members of the Board will
make no invidious distinction be-
tween Jews and Christian Scien-
lists in exercising a proper regard
for the sensibilities of a large Sec
ton of their fellow citizens"
In replying to this communica-
ton the publishers stated in part ::
1--WE agree with you that the
book in it's entirety is calculated
to do injustice to the Jewish peo-
pie of the world. We should, on
more grounds than one, not be in
terested in continuing the publ
cation of the book in it's present
form, and we have decided to
print no further supplies"

1t was but the inherited brood
ing of a prosecuted race that
caused Aaron Lopez to indulge
in gloomy forebodings that bright
spring morning before the Jewish
cemetery. Yet the day came and
quickly when the peace of the
pleasant country side was broken
by the sounds of battle and farm
ers of Lexington and Concord
stained with their blood the land
they had vowed to free forever
from the tyranny of the English
king.
In the hourishing town of New
port Jewish history did but re-
peat itself. For once again the
sons of Israel became exiles and
wanderers on the face of the
earth: The majority of the Jew
ish population in that place was
made up of merchants, many Of
them owning the very vessels
which the kings forces seized in
the first months of the Revolution
against England. Because of its
exposed position : the town of
Newport was an easy prey to the
British raiders who along with
other valuable property destroyed
many Of the possessions the Jew
ish people had acquired through
years of thrift and toll. AS mer-
chants who had protested against
the unfair taxation of England,
many of them became outlawed
and were forced to seek refuge in
Massachusetts,, among them
Aaron Lopez, whose vast for
tunes had greatly deprecated
since the ruin of American COM
merce and the seizures of the
British crown.
In the comparative safety of
the town of Leicester, Lopez and
Riviera and others of their faith
lived through the dark days OF
the Revolution. 1t was a cheer
ing thought to the exiles from
Spain and Portugal that they now
might testify through their hnan-
cial sacrifices little of the love
they bore the country that had
given them refuge, that the sons
of their race from every colony,
from Colonel Franks of New
York to the Pinto brothers of
Connecticut, those young stu
dents of Yale, had like so many
youths of their day left the quiet
cloisters of the college for the
hardships of the camp and the
terrors of the battlefield. And to
Lopez it was an unfailing source
of joy that even in his retreat he
need not withhold his benefac-
tons; to this day the LEICESTER
Academy stands as memorial OF
the Jewish merchants wide char

Pay Income Taxes
By Inventory Method
Is Advice To Farmers

BrookingS S. D.. Jan. Most
South Dakota farms are showing loss
es his and there is not much
concern about income taxes. However,
one point is generally overlooked, sug-
gests NJ. r. Benedict, farm manage
ment expert in the state college eX-
tension division. That is that this is a
very favorable time for farmers to
change to the inventory plan Of re-
porting. .
Most farmers have been reporting
their incomes on the cash basis. a
plan which is used by very few other
businesses. The cash basis does not
show the true farm profit, says Mr..
Benedict, and usually. a farmer will
pay more income tax e a period
of years than he will on the inventory
plan. For example. a rancher may
buy a bunch Of steers. feed them for
two years, and hen sell at $4,000 in
crease over the cost price. Under the
a plan, this will all be reported as
profit for the veal of sale. and he will
have a tax of $3.50. Under the inven-
tory plan. this will be divided and
figured as an income around $4,000
for each Of two years, which will re-
suit in a total tax for the two years
Of $3.50. or 1870 less than it. figured
on the cash basis. Both methods of
reporting are legally correct.
When a change from the cash basis
to the inventory basis is made, the
livestock and crops accumulated since
1915 must be reported as income ir
the year of change. Therefore, it is
best to make his change in a year
when the farm is taking a loss rather
than In a year of large profits.
