ZIONIST LEADERS
 ID EXPLAIN PLANS
 OF KEREN HAYES0D
Christian Commander of Jew- lSh Units to Talk on DeveI- 0pment of Palestine at
 Mass Meeting

colonel John H. Patterson and pr. Alexander Goldstein, members of the Sokolow' delegation who are on a visit to the United States in behalf or the Kenen Hayesod Palestine Foundation Fund, will be the guest of the local Zionist district on Wednesday. May 24, at which date they will address a mass meeting at the Jefferson theatre and explain the plans of the Keren Hayesod and the urgency of the program for the development of Palestine.
 Colonel Patterson. devout Christ ian, became interested in the Zionis st movement while pursuing his mili- tary activities in the Near East dur ing the World war. It became his lot to command two military de- tachments composed wholly of Jews. One detachment was the famous Zion Mule Corps, the other, the Jewish Legion. The Zion Mule corps was recruited in Egypt and consisted of Jews. who fled from Turkish oppression in Palestine. The Jewish Legion was recruited from volunteers in England and the United States. The Jewish volun- teers exhibited wonderful heroism on the battle fields under the com mand of Colonel Patterson and wholly won his heart in behalf of the Zionist cause.
 When the war was over. Colonel Patterson, to show his appreciation of the Jewish volunteers who shed their blood on the soil of Palestine, the ancient Jewish homeland, of- fered his services to the Interna- ct oy,i ( t~x, 1J- them redeem the promised land" Colonel Patterson carries a message to the world in general. that Pales- tine,. the devastated and neglected. can become once moro "a land of milk and honey" only through the sacrifices the Jewish youth Is willing to undergo. He states that once the necessary means are forthcoming. Palestine will become a place of happy homes for every inhabitant there now, and for the hundreds of thousands to locate there in the near future.
 Dr. Goldstein Is a prominent journalist well known to the read ing European public. Though an idealist. pr. Goldstein clearly tells his audience how practical the Zion ist program is According to pr. Goldstein. the Jewish youth, whose ambition to create spiritual, cultur- al, and economic progress. inter twined with their love for the Jew ish traditional homeland, are the only kind of builders to revive life and happiness in Palestine.
 While in Birmingham. the Zionist leaders will gladly meet any one who is interested in the develop ment of Palestine. Local people. who would like to have personal interview with them. will please communicate with Charles A. Laas.
 The mass meeting at the Jeffer- son will be. open to the public and an invitation Is extended to every one interested to attend.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-In his oratorical clash with Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington over the ef- fects of the new four-power treaty, Sen ator William E. Borah of Idaho told the causes of the present civil war in China and how to remedy the evil; likewise of conditions in Siberia. He said in part:
 "How has Japan restored Shantung? she has not restored it yet, and four years have passed since she took it.. The second proposition is that she re- fused to permit China to redeem Shan tung for five years. Why? What will take place in China as result of the movement in Japan in the next five years it would be difficult for one to prophecy, but if Japan was inspired by good faith, if she was acting in in- tegrity of purpose, why did she not permit China to redeem Shantung when and under such terms as China could redeem it? Then, having per mitted China to redeem Shantung in five years, she provides for the pay ment of certain amount of money for a railroad. For whose railroad? Not Japan's railroad, but for railroad which belonged to China from the hour that war was declared against the German government. Talk about redemption; it was not case of re- demption In common honesty it was case of restoring property and ter ritory which had been unjustly taken. There was no need for delay or de- tails.

Borah Demands Restoration of Stolen Property

a treaty which permits her to levy a tariff of 11a per cent, or something like that, in excess of that which she had the right to levy. How may we expect China to pay for the railroad in the next five years? There is not anyone who is familiar with conditions in the Far East who supposes for a moment that China will be able to re- deem Shantung under these circum- is not able to redeem Shantung, do Senators not see what will happen? and Japan takes that which she has held by aggression under color of au- thority and under color of a treaty.
 POWERS ATTACK TWO GREAT
 LANDS, CHINA AND SIBERIA
 Here is China, with it's great wealth; here is Siberia with it's great wealth. Those two great countries are now being assailed, "aggressed" upon, as it were, or attacked by one or two of these powers-for Japan is not alone; Great Britain is pushing her ag- gressions in China also-and we as- sociate ourselves with the particular powers which are committing the az gressions. We refuse to write into the treaty an obligation upon our part ners that they will respect the rights of those on the outside. What is the inference? The inference is that which China has already drawn, which Rus sia has already drawn, and that is that we are conniving at the things which are going on and adding our moral in- fluence and our moral prestige to the support of those nations which are guilty of these attacks.

MINERS SUPPORT OLD
AGE PENSION FUND

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-The only old
age pension system In effect through
out the entire jurisdiction of the Unit.
ed Mine Workers of America Is in
use i'm district No. q, Oklahoma. Texas
and Arkansas. II provides an average
weekly pension for 1876 men who are
no longer able to do mine work. The
system has been in operation for nine
years and despite the fact that 1t has
never been copied by any other dis
trict of miners, its success Is pro.
nounced, according to district Off
cials here.
The pension Is created from a
monthly assessment of 10 cents per
member. At the present time the dis
trict pension fund has on hand approx.
imately s51 900. The fund is closely
guarded by Legislation that prohibits
its use for any purpose other than

tax creates $S1, 800.
1t is the hope Of the mine workers
always to have on hand approximately
100000 for pensions, district officials
said. When this figure is reached it
Is proposed to reduce the monthly as.
sessment on the membership.
