In the ancient Homeland"
MIR untormyer cited the example Of
Oscar $. and Nathan Straus, DIR. Joseph
Silvcrman. David A. Brown and Felix
NJ. Wurburg, prominent American Jews
who have recently returned from Pal
estine enthusiastic over its posslbili'
ties. Mr.. warhurg's report, he dcclar
cd, exceeds In optimism, those of the
others, aud he has sealed his optimism
with a gift Of 100000 to the Hebrew
University. Calling attention TO Mr..
Warburg's Endorsement OF the Keren
Haycsod, Mr. Untermyer said such an
Endorsement should move all the work
crs for the KCren Hnyesod to pride in
what their devotion and energy have
accomplished and move them to re-
double their energy and devotion"
There was time" Mr.. untermyer
continued, turning to the immigration
law, before the narrow passions en-
gendered by brutal war, darkened
the clear vision of the American peo-
pie, when many of these Jewish
refugees could find home In our own
country. Now. however, new and
ridiculous fancy, the Nordic supcrsti-
tion has caught the popular imagina-
tion, and our legislators in Washington
with ther ear always on the ground
TO catch all popular fads and fancies,
have embodied this silly superstition
into brutal legislation. Palestine,
therefore, is the one place of refuge
for the eternal wanderer and we may
derive some consolation from the fact
that in going to Palestine he is go
ing to hcmcland of his OWN, and here
the Palestine Foundation Fund comes
to his assistance and helps him find
his place in the new land as soon as
he arrives"

RADIO MENTIONED IN THE
I A l. NJ U d, NEW YORK
SCHOLAR RECALLS.
Jewlsh Tclcgraphlc AgencyJ

New Hork-That the seemingly new
discovery Of the radio in not dis
covcry but rather rcdiScovcry, is the
claim of the Jewish scholar and law
Yer, Samuel Kahan. in the New York
WCrld' Of June LIST.
Mr.. Kahan draws the attention of
scholars 10 Braitha mentioned in
the fifth chapter of Youma. which
states the following:
The Rubbis have learned three
sounds which travel from one end of
the world to the other. They are the
sound of the sun travelling around .he
world, the sound of the soul when it
lcayes the body and the sound of n
mob in ii large city. Some Rabbis
say also that the sound of n woman
laboring in childbirth travels from one
end of the world to the other; some of
the Rabbls say that the sound of the
radio also does the same thing"
The fact that the ancient Talmudic
document mentions the radio as a mat
ter of reference only would seem to
indicate that it was a matter of gen
eral knowledge, which did not need
any explanation.
