ST. PAUL BANQUET

The Keren Hayesod Campaign for
the Northwest was commenced in st.
Paul last Tuesday evening with din
ner and reception in the Palm Room
Of the ST. Paul Hotel, at which over
$50 guests were present. The hon.
ored guests of the evening were two
members of the Zionist European
Delegation, Colonel Patterson and
Vladimir Jabotinsky. The meeting
opened with the singing of the "Star
Spangled Banner" by the audience.
This was followed with opening re-
marks by Mr.. Sol Fligelman, chair
man of the ST. Paul Committee, in
the course of which he read message
from Otto Warburg, renowned Jewish
agriculturist, who was scheduled to
be present at the meeting, but was
detained for political reasons in
Washington. Mayor L. G. Hodgson,
officially representing the City of ST.
Paul, then extended the hospitality
of the City to the Zionist delegation,
and in splendid talk, reviewed the
hopes and aspirations Of the Jewish
people for Palestine and his sincere
belief in and approval of the move.

course of which an American flag
was presented to the Delegation with
the request that it be taken to Pales-
tine and placed beside the Jewish flag.
Mr.. M. Margulies, who is here from
New York, as field worker in charge
of the campaign, delivered stirring
talk on conditions in Palestine, as he
found them year ago during a visit
to that country. He stated that the
country was so climatically situated
that it could well suit the living con-
ditions of Jews from all parts Of the
world.
Colonel Patterson, the commander
of the Zion Mule Corps and one Of
the first commanders of the Jewish
legion in Palestine, under whose lead
ership the Jewish soldiers captured
the strategic positions which finally
led to the occupation of Palestine by
the British government, was then in
troduced by the chairman and in a
genial and amiable manner, modest
and unmilitary in every respect, ex-
pressed his views with reference to
Palestine. and explained the basis of
his keen interest in and hope for the
success of the movement, showing the
interest which the English had al
ways taken in the Jewish people and
in the Jewish ideals and TEACHINGS.
He told that the English people were
the most severely taxed people of any
nation today. the British tax amount
ing to one-third of the income of
every individual. He stated that
while the British were willing to be

Palestine, conditions made it such at
the present time that the Jewish peo-
pie throughout the world must pro-
vide considerable of the present fl
nancing for Palestine.
The last speaker of the evening was
Vladimir Jabotinsky, who spoke
fiuently in the English language, re-
viewing the situation in Palestine, its
possibilities. socially, economically
and culturally, and he stated that Pal
estine instead of being able to take
care of only three million, was actual
ly so situated that six or seven mil
lion people could be easily colonized
without crowding. in Palestine. By
contrast with other nations which
have had considerable experience in
colonization work, Mr.. Jabotinsky
showed the thorough colonizing abil-
lty of the Jewish people.
Mr.. Jabotinskv spoke for the most
part not with the dramatic enthusi-
asm that one would have expected
from the descriptions Of the man that
have previously been made, but spoke
in clear and calm, deliberate, studied
manner, although at times in a most
forceful manner reaching dramatic
climax. The Chairman then called
for contributions for the $75,000.OO

In spite of the hard times we hear
SO much about, the Keren Hayesod
Campaign in the Twin Cities began
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week with two banquets and mass
meetings that proved an inspiration
to the workers and the speakers. On
Tuesday evening at the st. Paul Ho-
tel notable outpouring of eloquence
on the part of the speaker and of
pledges on the part of those present
resulted in the raising of about
$4,000 which with the $4,000 pledges
at the mass meeting Wednesday,
makes total of about $23, 1000 for st.
Paul to-date. In Minneapolis on We'd
nesday evening in the Gold Room of
the Radisson at similar banquet, at
gathering where some of the wealth.
lest of the Jews in the city were con-
spicuous by their absence, more than
$4,000 was raised. The speakers at
both meetings were the same-Col.
John Henry Patterson and Vladimir
Jabotinsky. In ST. Paul the toast
master was Mr.. Sol Fligelman, chair
man of the Keren Hayesod commit
tee. The Hon. Lawrence G.. Hodgson,
mayor of the city, welcomed the dele
gates to St.. Paul in an inspiring
speech. In Minneapolis the toastmas-
ter was Mr.. A. N. Bearman, chairman
of the Keren Hayesod committee.
Hon., Geo. E. Leach, as mayor of the
city, welcomed the delegation to Min
neapolis. In welcoming the delegates
and in wishing the campaign success,
he said: "You are in city which
has been built up in one generation.

ginning an equally successful task

and its possibilities when fully de-
veloped, spoke of it's strategically i'm

home of which the Jewish people will
be able to be proud"
Col. Patterson spoke earnestly and
with conviction and his remarks were
enthusiastically received.
Jabotinsky's Address
Vladimir Jabotlnsky spoke logically
and forcibly. There was no attack
ing, no recrimination, no propaganda,
just forceful inspiring presentation
of facts. His portrayal of the needs
of Palestine and how the Keren Haye-
sod campaign would come to the res
cue of the land were vivid and mas
terly. He spoke of the resentment
of the Arabs and how it could be miti-
gated. "It is question of supreme
Justice" said Jabotinsky. There are
in the world about 35,000,000 Arabs
who occupy a territory about half the
size of Europe. The English, for in
stance, occupy on the average one
half acre each; the Arabs of the
world have at their disposal about
forty acres each. Palestine is only
about one-half of one per cent of the
territory at the disposal of the Arabs.
Is it not just that the Jews, people
of 100000 should get country
the size of Palestine? .. The
only way to overbalance the wave Of
resentment that it is natural for the
Arabs to feel is to introduce into
Palestine wave of prosperity that
will benefit the Arabs even while it is
building up the land. There must be
construction, development and up
building, and that can be only through
the Keren HayeSod."
Jabotinsky spoke of the details Of
the Keren Hayesod budget, explain
ing several of the items. In vivid
colors he spoke of the self-sacrifice
of the Halutzim, for Palestine. To
make use of the splendid colonizing
material these Halutzim represent, it
is necessary to have loans to help
them settle on the land.
Even more vivid was the descrip-
tion he gave of the possible electri-
fication of Palestine by means of
power that could be generated from
the down-grade of the Jordan river in
accordance with the plans worked out
by engineer Pinchus Ruttenberg.
Touching, too, was his description Of
the plans for afforestration, planting
the trees that will restore the soil

late, wasted hills of Palestine, which
once were so green and beautiful.
After describing the idealism and
the sacrifices of the Halutzim, 'Jabot-
insky exclaimed: "What do you
think makes it possible for them to
go through all they are experiencing,
bringing their sacrifices from day to
day? It is the feeling that you are
behind them,. that today or tomorrow

 When they are placed in classes. each child is given a big graphic
 chart. bearing his name and divided Into squares for the weeks, a black line running diaKonally across the chart represents the normal weight. A red line connected with red dots shows the weekly weighings and when the red line crosses the black one, demonstrating that norma
 weight has been gained, the child graduates in the health class.
 During the intervening time. at each class instruction is given in ! health attainment.
 For. certain things done. stars are placed each week upon the chart. 1 For taking milk and proper lunches, a red star is given. For an hour 5
