question of granting Exclusive priv

President Obregon states in message
to. the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
his Government is prepared to give
'all kinds of facilities to whomever
might come to COLOMBO.
This message is contained in let
ter from President Obregon's Secretary

News Agency with regard to the con
flicting reports concerning opportuni-
ties for Jewish wOuld-be settlers on
Mexican soil. The letter is dated
Mexico City. October II. and the fol-

This statement is the first public an

JEWISH WORLD CONGRESS AT
THE NINTH ANNUAL MlZRACHI
CONVENTION.

The ninth annual Mixrachi Conven-
tion which will be held In Cleveland
on November 1921, promises to he
one Of the most Interesting rs well
as the largest OF MIerachi gaflierinxs
OF late years, net 0hlS because Of fhe
expectancc OF a large number Of dele
gates. about three hundred In number
including representatives Of the youth.
but also because of the vital questions
which are on the agenda of the con-
vention. One Of the most important
problems which the 9th annual con-
vention will have to solve. is the Gues-
ton Of n world Jewish Congress.
Already at the Carlsbad Conference,
when the, resolution for the converting
of World Jewish Congress was
adopted. 1t was pointed out the I'M
portant role orthodox Jewery is to
play in the creation of the Congress
In general. and in the rebuilding Of
Pales Inc in particular. 1t therefore
became self-evident that, because of
that. the world MizrachI Organization
the representative body of orthodox
,Jewry. automatically becomes the
chief factor in the converting of the
Congress as well MS in the carrying
out of its resolutions.
Due to the fact that the Mizrachi
Organization OF America In one of the
strongest Mizrachi organizations of
the world, and because the Mizrachi
annual convention is the first great
Zionist gathering since the Carlsbad
conference. 1t obtains special i'm
pOrtance for the co1vening of n world
Jewish Congress. In spite of the fact
that In principle almost nil the men,
bers of the Mizrachi organization of
America are for World Jewish Con
gress, still a lively discussion is eN-
pected In regard to the various de-
tails with which the Congress idea is
connected.

ant belonging to village near Je-
rusalem came into the new Jewish
suburb Talfius, which is in process
Of construction, and asked one of the
workers for a drink of water, which
he was given. Later on the fellow
returned to make the same request.
A dispute arose between the two and
the Arab went of returning with two
others and all three began to make
fun of the Jewish worker. Before
long a fight took place and the Jew
was beaten about the head with an iron
bar which one of the Arabs seized
from those lying on the ground. All
three then made Off. Several police
pursued but were unable to catch
them. Meanwhile. n rumOr spread that
a Jewish workman had been killed by
Arabs and four workers. together
with the father of the injured man
by two gendarmes, to look for the as
sailants. The Mukhtar Of the village
protested his ignorance of the whole
affair. A police officer then arrived
with two police and reviled the work
ers for invading the village and dis
turbing the peace.
A few days later the workers in
question, together with the two gend-
armes who had accompanied them. and
the father of the injured man were
arrested on the orders of the commit
tee of the village on the charge of
having made an attack on the village.
The injured man there upon demand
ed the arrest of the three Arabs who
had attacked him. This was done and
all the prisoners have now been re-
leased on bail.

whole story and has written indignant
editorials about the Jews who forced

ago. The Institute, which began to
function last year. is of collegiate
grade and provides tuition free Of
charge to students from all parts OF
the Soviet Republics. A considerable

AIinsk and Homcl have registered. and
a group of students who have been
granted scholarships by various Jew

ready arrived to take up their studies.
The faculty of the Institute counts
among its members most of the promi-

them Rabbi Eisenstadt. Chief Rabbi
of Petrograd. Courses will be given
this year in Ancient, Midiaeval and
Modern Jewish History. Hebrew. iid-

History of the Talmud. the History of
Russian Jewry and in Jewish Re

All lectures are delivered during the
evening. yet the Institute has no budget
either for heating or lighting. 1t is
probable that illumination will have to
be provided by candles, which the
students will themselves provide.

Song of the Risen Soul
(By Caroline L. Dodge

Far back in the dawn of creation
Ere the human ratr began,
God moved on the face Of the waters
And dreamed of the soul of man.
And the dream God dreamed at the
dawning
He guided, the ages through,
Shaping. directing, uplifting.
Making his dream come true.
From protoplasmic m,eandering
To the tiny electron's flame,
A something deathles was forming,
Something without name.
Till l by my earthly body
Imprisoned and held In thrall.
Awoke, leaped up and hearkenet,
Alert to the spirits call.
Yet sometimes, know. when in 81
My body lay fast asleep.
slipped the leash and went roam
ing.
Some heavenly trystSto keep.
And finally came the frummons
dreaded yet long 70 hear.
My call to the many mansions
And with never a Thought OF fear,
Joyfully then replSink.
Quickly l dropped all care,
Fung on my fieshly wrappings
And took the path Of the air
Twas the call OF lore, ! answered,
The breath Of my life .to-be,
As up through the tenuous ether.
l mounted untrammelet, free.
Yea took the wings Of the morning
And traversed the infinite blue.
For 1 am the flower Of creation.
The dream OF God come true.

mittee and of the Commission to Pal

*It was this feature of our work
which caused good deal of skeptic-
ism among members of the profession
whose interest was sought. How, they
asked. is it possible to teach the medi-
cal sciences In Hebrew? The question
was answered for us who went to Pal
estine the moment we stepped on the
railroad station in Jerusalem. There
everything linguistic that we saw or
heard was in Hebrew. Tie signs on
the street corners and above the shops
were in Hebrew. We were greeted by
our friends IN Hebrew. We heard the
people converse and the children play
and quarrel in Hebrew. 1t was as
though the pages of the Bible rose up
and lived before us. The only thing
that broke the illusion was the modern
bustling and progressive aspect of so
much of the life that we saw there.
