he said, to neglect to take advantage
of the offer in view of the desperate
position of the Jewish people in Rus
STA and the Ukraine.
Mr.. Zangwill stated also that the
Mexican offer should not be taken as
a competition with Palestine, which
is regarded by Zionists as the recog-
nized haven for homeless Jews.
The offer is particularly important,
he said, because the territory offered
adjoins the United States, American
Jews being in position to direct the
settlement.
1t is essential, Mr.. Zangwill said,
to establish a company to develop the
country along business lines, which
must be backed by responsible Jewish
organizations.
Mr.. Zangwill said he was ready to
come to America to discuss the mat
ter if officially invited by President
Obregon and the American Jewish
Congress.
Commenting on Mr.. Zangwill's
readiness to come to America, Joseph
Barondess, chairman of the commits
sion appointed by the Executive Com
mission of the American Jewish Con-
gress to investigate and report on
the Mexican offer, said:
eve were pleased to learn of Mr..
Zangwill's statement and to know of

ANTI-SEMITES DEFEATED IN
HUNGARY

Budapest CT. C. -Notwithstand-
ing the fact that in the overwhelming
majority of constituencies the voting
at the Hungarian general election was
by open ballot, and the authorities
used all means to intimidate the cleo
tors into voting for the government
party, the more extreme members of
the government party went down to
surprising defeat. Practically three
quarters of the members of the old
Parliament were defeated, among
them five ministers. The leaders of
the anti-Semitic movement have failed
to secure election. The Minister for
Justice, M. Wilhelm Paul Tomczanyi,
who only week ago arrested his OPP
which he had already been twice ac-
quilted by the courts of justice, is one
of the defeated candidates. Tomocz-
anyi made himself notorious by con-
slant persecution of the Jews. 1t was
he who deprived Jewish cinemato-
graph owners of their licenses.
Another anti-Jewish leader who was
defeated is Julius Ferdinand, minis
ter for the interior in the cabinet of
Count Telekyi, the author of several
anti-Jewish restrictions during his
time of office. Julius Peka, the au-
thor of the numerous clauses, has also
been defeated. Karl Ereky, former
minister for food control, who intro
duced into the Hungarian Parliament
bill for confscating the possessions
of the Jews and taxing them 100 per
cent on all property owned by them,
has lost his seat. Stephan Somogyi,
one of the most embittered anti-Jew-
ish agitators in the country stood for
two constituencies and fell through in
both.

MOVE TO MAKE WOMEN
CITIZENS IN OWN RIGHT

Washington q. G. 1.-the House
immigration Committee today voted
to report favorably the Cable Bill pre-
venting alien women in future from
acquiring citizenship through the.
citizenship of their husbands.
The committee further considered
the drafted bill proposing to reduce
the immigration quota from three to
two per cent, but reached no decision.
1t is understood further consideration
will be given the measure at COM
mittee meeting in the near future.
Restrictionists seemed a little I'M
certain about the adoption of the bill,
because Of the transfer of the "half
and half" ship feature from this
measure to the ship subsidy bill, upon
which they had principally counted to
secure support of the entire bill. This
bill is now before the immigration
Committee. There is no evident in
tention, however, on the part of the
restrictionists to abandon the idea of
a reduction, but apparently they are
merely biding their time, pending final
decision upon a plan Of procedure.
Neither Representatives Siegel nor
SABBATH were present at today's meet
ing, both being absent from the city.

RATIFICATION OF PALESTINE
MANDATE MAY BE DELAYED

Washington q. T. A.)-High State
Department officials today indicated
that France had not yet replied to
the American note on the Syrian man.
date, and that for this reason it was
uncertain when an agreement could
be reached with France along the lines
of the Palestine pact with Britain, in
asmuch as European reports had it
that France is unwilling that the
Palestine mandate be considered be-
fore it's mandate for Syria, and as the
League of Nations has on previous
occasions manifested disposition to
decline to consider mandates upon
which no agreement has been reached
with America, there appears to be an
other delay in sight for the Palestine
mandate, if an agreement is not
reached between America and France
regarding Syria by that date. Should
France remove her objections to a
separate consideration of the Pales-
tine mandate, the difficulty would dis
appear, it is believed.

Questions of definition, particularly
with. reference to the status OF mer-

delegates in their efforts to agree on

With the armament end of the con-

1t Is Understood That Proposed
Duration of the Pact
Will Extend I'm
,Q Til 1887.
1ny The Assoelated Press

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-gThe draft
treaty prepared by naval and legal ex-
perts covering the five power contract
for reduction and limitation of naval
armament was in the hands of the
five delegations tonight, a jealousy
guarded secret as. to its text. The va
rious national groups are understood
to have been informed by Secretary
Hughes that both text and substance
of the proposed pact were looked upon
as highly confidential by the state de-
partment, yet enough information
leaked through the barriers of silence
thus imposed to show that numerous
wholly new features are included in
the draft copy.
Among these It is understood is a
proposal that the duration of the pact
be until 1887. Another new item is
the proposal to limit the size of guns
used on merchant ships to six inch
calibre as compared to the S-inch
weapons authorized for naval auxil-
larry craft. StilI another is authority
for the construction of warshipss on
foreign account within the jurisdiction
of the five powers provided the size
limitations on such ships laid down for
the five nations in the treaty are not
exceeded in building for an outside
power.
The treaty begins with a. lengthy
preamble setting forth the PURPOSE of
the covenant, the limitation of naval
power to the end that the burdens of
taxation on the peoples of five coun-
tries may he relieved. The calling Of
the conference and it's work is briefly
reviewed in the preamble, then follow
the articles OF the treaty, twenty-nine
in number, and mass of appended
matter to which specific reference is
made in the various articles in order
to present in detail the agreement
covered in each general statement of
the treaty proper.
First among these general articles
stands that setting out the agreement
as to capital ships. Taken in connec-
ton with the appended lists of ships
to be retained and ships to be scrapped
a complete picture Of the reduction
and subsequent limitation scheme al
ready agseed upon is presented.
