PLAN JEWISH
CELEBRATION
Meeting Here Tomorrow Night
to Commemorate Palestine
Mandate Ratification

A celebration to commemorate
the ratification of the Palestine man
date by the League of Nations will
be held at the Sharey Tehloh Syn
agogue in Madison emu tomorrow
night. The ratification being the
eliminating event in u struggle
which has been urged by the Jew
ish people for almost two thousand
years in an effort to regain possess
sion of their home land. it Is fitting
to review briefly the development
and progress of the campaign.
Throughout the centuries Of their
wanderings and sIfferings the Jews
have been kept alive by their indy
ing and ~persevering hope thai the
time would come when Palestine
would again be theirs and toward
this end they hoped and prayed.
With the advent of Theodore Herzl,
however, a new epoch in NionIsm
began. His plan was to put Zion
ism on a practical basis, to treat of
it as of something concrete. the at
tainment of which demanded con-
crete and definite action. His idea
did not meet with the hoped for re-
Spouse and did not blossom forth
and produce material results until
after his death. But once the idea
had taken root it's rapid progress
exceeded the hopes of eve its most
ardent supporters until the immor-
tai HerZrs idea was recently realized
by the Balfour declaration and rel
more recently definitely settled by
the ratification of the League of
Nations; in which ratification the
States, although not a mem
Der of the league, played an impor-
tant and gratifying part.
In commemoration of this NOM
event the Mizrachi %organiza-
ton of Perth Amboy has arranged
the above mentioned gigantic cele-
bration which shall fittingly cele-
brate the occasion.
The speakers for the occasion will

gene Cohen of this city. il. Rabbi M.

arranged to accommodate all of the
crowd which will be in attend
ance as this is the most important
celebration in the current year. The

SHOW DOWN ON TARIFF
SOON, IS PRESENT OUTLOOK

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga tight
ening of ranks among House Re-
publicans who want to reject the
Senate's foreign valuations plan in
the tariff bill threatens to cause a
bitter wrangre among the conferees
on that measure. With the House
in the unbending attitude 1t is now
showing, the senate will be compell-
ed to abandon a hot summers la
bors for the plan drawn by the
Ways and Means Committee.
A showdown is scheduled in the
House within a week n ten days,
when Chairman Fordney of the
House conferees seeks instructions
as to how they shall finally line up
on the valuation problem. He is
convinced that the American valua-
ton scheme is the only one that
will work and wants the House on
record behind him before under
taking to carry conviction to the
senator's.

WARD MAY ESCAPE TRIAL

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S:-Although
detectives engaged by the Westches-
ter county authorities have spent
weeks trying to d%isprove the STATE
ment of Walter S. Ward of New
Rochelle, son of the baking com
pany president, that he had been
the victim of blackmailers and had
been threatened before he killed
Clarence Peters, they have learned
nothing to shatter his story.

to run down clues and theories, but
they all revert back to the story of
Ward, who said he shot Peters in
self-defense on a lonely road near
Kensico Dam. Ward is with his
'amily in New Rochelle. having been
released on $4,000 bail after he had
been indicted for murder.
