Baron James Rothschilh. t!l'
wculthicst son of the wcaithicst jew,
Is Il very ii4i ' '''s Ah'N'N''
dividual. A Jew with heart and soul
lie has always taken Il deep interest
in all matters Jewish. The Jewish
question in Eastern Europe was one
in which he took Il special interest and
when some fifteen years ago Jewish
Immigration in France became mark
| cd. he became particularly intercstc"
in the fate of these immigrants. HI
| quickly realized that Jewish imul
grants in Paris could not hope toNoh
tain employment in French factories
for a French manufacturer will b"
anything but inclined to employ people
who do not use his language. In order
to secure the immigrants against TAX
ing up pcddling and similar occ'ipa'
tiuns he put up for them an album
factory. The work of making albums
|. is light and easily acquired He gave
each immigrant in Paris an opportun.
ity to earn money, learn IL trade and
acquire the language OF the country.
Jn this manner he aided thousands OF
Russian Jews in Paris and secured for
them the possibility Of settling in the
country.
This is Il solitary instance. but 1t
illustrates sufficiently the earnest i'll
tcrcst which james lOthschild takes

traditions of his great father, Baron
james Rothschild. he has always
shown II keen interest in Palestine and
las visited that country IL number OF
times. Since the Baltour declaration
was announced he has become Il mem
Der of the Zionist organization ann
one of the most active Iionists i'll
