CORRESPONDENCE

Editor, American Jewish World:
Why should a Menorah So
ciety, on the University Campus,
composed of Our best Jewish tim
Der, allow a speaker to come be-
fore them and give a fragrant talk
extolling intermarriage? Why
should we Jews continue to make
fools of ourselves? If we have
a Menorah Society that upholds
our Jewish ideals and holds
Judaism sacred, why these in
constituencies? If we brook a
discussion, favoring intermar-
riage, why call ourselves Memo
rah? Join the Cosmopolitan
Club instead. I was not present,
but received this information first
hand. My advice would be that
a severe censorship should pre-
cede every program where our
plastic adolescents compose the
audience. We cannot afford to
contaminate the youth with this
insidious propaganda.

Jew, FOREIGN MINISTER

The selection of Senator Carlo
Schanzer to become Minister of
Foreign Affairs in the new Ital-
ian government is rare distinc-
ton which the recipientsof it has
won chiefly by the remarkably
good work he performed as prin-
cipal Italian delegate to the Wash
ington Conference. 1t occurs to
us that it will be news to a very
large number of people, other
wise we'll informed, that Italy's
new Foreign Minister belongs to
our people. For we have not
seen in any of those media that

are always so anxious to acclaim
as Jew anyone who has "dis-
tinguished" himself, any refer
ence to Senator Schanzer's Jew
ish origin. The reason of this is
that the Senator has not done so
in reprobatory manner. Again,
he has long been regarded as one
Of the safest" men in Italian pol
itics, man of conservative tend
encies, albeit liberal in outlook
and aspiration. What could our
detractors make of this Jew to
our discredit? Yet we doubt not
there will be those of the men,
tality of, say, Lord Sydenham
(who wrote to the Morning Post
the other day to say that he sees
in the Constitution for Palestine
a precise carrying out of the pro-
gramme of the protocols y, who
will perceive the "hidden hand"
and the deep-laid "plot' and the
Nilus warning" ignored, in the
fact that. a Jew is, once again,
charged with the Foreign Affairs
of great country. But we
imagine that even the most fool
ish of these maniacal anti-Sem-
ties will be unable to see in Sen
ator Schanzer an instrument of
revolution. We congratulate Our
coreligionist, who is as sturdy a
Jew as he is loyal Italian, on the
high distinction that has been
conferred upon him. His honor
reflects honor upon all the race,
of whom he is a pride.-Jewish

OUR PREDICAMENT

A periodical like the American
Jewish World must publish local,
national and international news
of Jewish interest. What is
closest to us usually looms
largest in Our eyes and seems
most important. All Our readers
should know what is going on in
the Jewish world. Many of them
are naturally interested in the
activities of their local organiza-
tons. But the Jewish World
must not be crowded into too lit
tie compass by local or domestic
news. And this is Our dilemma,
probably shared by Our contem-
poraries: How include local and
worldwide Jewish news, in prop
er proportion? One solution
would be charging Our paper,
which is one of our ideals, as soon
as conditions permit Another
solution is for our contributors
to send us their interesting news,
but as concisely and briefly as
possible.

so long as necessary, but the
necessity will cease only when
new conditions are created. And
sad experience has shown that
the conditions cannot be built in
the lands of persecution. Pa1es-
tine is the only promise on the
horizon.
"The practical method for the
accomplishment of these great
objects is the Keren Hayesod,
which is receiving the support of
influential American Jews re-
CARELESS of theoretical beliefs or
party affiliations, because it's
work is first and foremost of
practical character. If the Keren
Hayesod can provide the condi-
tons suitable for Pa1estine's ag-
ricultural development and ex-
pansion and settlement on the
land in happiness, prosperity and
safety of tens of thousands of
Jewish families, it will be content
to leave the working out of con-
troversial and theoretical ques-
tons to the rising Palestinian
population"

SAMUEL UNTERMYER'S
APPEAL,
AZ Z LAL
On Behalf of Keren Hayesod

torney and communal worker,
has issued the following appeal
to the Jews of America to con-
tribute to the Palestine Founda-
ton Fund, while intensive drives
for the Keren Hayesod are in
progress in Chicago and other
cities of the middle and far west,
and while preparations are under
way for a giant drive in New
York City to start April 10th.
Mr.. Untermyer's statement fol-
lows:
GAS Americans fostered on the
dauntless spirit of the Pilgrim
Fathers, we are proud to do Our
utmost for the great pioneer en-
terprise of rebuilding the Holy
Land. This is task which calls
for boldness and zeal, and which
involves using personal hardship
and sacrifice. It is a great his
toric venture whose beginnings
are full of obstacles and difficult
ties, but whose end will influence
the course of the Jewish people
and indeed the destiny of human
ity.
"For centuries the Holy Land
has lain neglected, her children
in exile, her bosom bruised by ig-
norance and neglect. She has
been calling to us and we have
been power1ess to answer. Our
hearts have bled with grief and
we have had nothing to console
us but hope.
To-day the action of Great
Britain and of the principal pow
ers of the world backed up by the
expressed sympathy of past and
present presidents of the United
States and of the United States
government, have made it posi-
bic for us to build again the Holy
Land, and establish there a
Homeland for the Jewish people.
Our grief and Our hope must now
be translated into action lest the
glorious opportunity which once
again presents itself should be al
lowed to slip by.
"The success of the Keren
Hayesod, the instrument for the
practical realization of the aims
of our movement will bring much
needed relief to Our suffering
brethren and relief of a construc-
tive kind, immediate in it's effect
and permanent in its nature. 1t
will bring added dignity and
prestige to Our race. And above
all, Our leaders are never weary
of declaring that Our purposes
are certain to result in benefit to
all mankind. Every American
Jew will appreciate the funda
mental democracy of the Zionist
movement and the unselfshness
of it's aim because these are traits

HELP TO CHILDREN
Out On the Boundless Plains
It Carries Them
..,s to School.

When Daniel Boone was tramplng
the forests of Kentucky he carried
with him a rifle, which gave him
faithful service all the years of his
life. He gave the weapon the affec-
tionate name of "Old Betsy" and
this name has ever since been a
symbol of faithful service.
Out of the boundless plains near
Laramie, Wyo., there are scattered
numerous ranch houses, the children
In which need the education offered
by the modern schools located in the
busy town. There was q certain
problem in collecting these children.
but II has been solved by pressing
into service a D-55 Buick car. This
car has given such faithful service
and is so thoroughly relied upon by
the children and their parents that
II has come to be known, too. as ."Old
Betsy"
No blizzard has ever succeeded In
blowing her over, nor has she ever
missed her aim.
The proposition of getting COM
bined capacity and warmth was
solved by constructing a. body like
that of a sheep wagon on the sturdy
Buick. To make the car roomy, the
body was extended over the engine.
Large sheets of celluloid. protected
by a closely woven wire netting, per-
mitted the driver to see out at both
sides and at the rear. A Slated floor
above the engine permits the heat
from the motor to enter the car and
directly over the engine are seats for
eight children. so arranged that the
children when seated do not obscure
the drivers view.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF GOOD BRAKES

Appreciating the relation Of good
brakes to the safety OF the public
and the occupants OF motor cars

technical men OF the great Ameri'

mulating their rules for governing
motor car reliability contests, re-
auired that a car should stop with

travelling at speed Of twenty
miles an hour. They stipulated one
point penalty for each foot beyond
fifty. This test was required after

test, and believe me, there we're
lots Of brake penalties on the final
tests following the old Glidden
tours, Chicago Motor Club and
many other reliability tours.
Badly worn and glazed brake lin
ings or oil leaks from rear axle
to brake Innings often cheated
a good automobile from perfect
score on these tours, but II was
all for the best, for as a result OF
the penalties the manufacturers set
to work redesigning, changing lev
erage. increasing bralxing surfaces,
and stopping the oil leaks.
There Is nothing 30 important as
the safety Of the public. To be
able to stop your car In the short.

brakes, contributes to public safety
as well as your own, and that OF
your family. Therefore, form an

way to avoid this Is by looking
