tIewish Telegraph Agency

Cincinnati-Theo one hundredth an
niversary of the Bene Israel congre-
cation, the oldest Jewish congregation
west of the Atlantic seaboard will be
celebrated on January 1s and 10.
The history of the congregation
dates practically from the first COM
ing of Jews to the territory west of
the Alleghenies. The first Jewish set
tier was Joseph Jonas, native Of
Plymouth, England, who arrived in
Cincinnati in March, 1877. The town
at that time had about six thousand
inhabitants. Within the next two
years several other Englishmen of the
Jewish faith Joined him and in the fall
of 1919 the first Jewish worship in
this western territory was held on. the
High Holy days. Such services were
held annually until the year 1924,
when there were enough Jews in the
town to organize a congregation. In
memoir written in 1s42 Joseph Jonas
the pioneer, stated that it was his con-
slant prayer from the day of his ar
rival "that he might be a nucleus
about which the first congregation
might be formed to worship God in
this great western territory" This
prayer was fulfilled when on January
18, 1924, ten men organized the Bene
Israel Congregation. These pioneers
and founders were Joseph Jonas,
David Israel johnson, Morris Moses,
Jonas Levy, Solomon Moses, Simeon
Moses, Phineas Moses, Samuel Jonas,
Solomon Buckingham and Morris
Symonds. Joseph Jonas was elected
Parnass and Phineas Moses and
Jonas Levy Gabbaim.
The congregation numbered many
distinguished men in its membership.
Two presidents of the Union of Amer
lean Hebrew Congregations, namely
Julius Freiberg and ]. Walter Frei-
berg were members of the congrega-
tion. The president of the board of
governors of the Hebrew Union col
lege, Alfred NJ. Cohen and the presi-
dent of the National Sisterhoods, Mrs.
j. Walter Freiberg, are members.

Montreal-The Montreal Star. the
most influential newspaper in the Do
minion of Canada, in an editorial which
appeared yesterday attacked the policy
of the Canadian government toward I'M
migration.
The editorial asks why no steps have
been taken in the five years following
the Armistice to encourage and pro
vide for immigration. During tins
time ample needs have arsen warrant
ing an active and aggressive campaign
to procure recruits from the files of
the millions emigrating from Europe
who would prove valuable asset In
exploiting the resources of Canada
which are being neglected because the
dearth in population. Without the I'M
migrant Canada can make no forward
strides.
The editorial accuses the govern
ment of giving blatant promises which
il had no intention of keeping to the
LOYAL Canadians who have been pa
ticntly waiting for the days of expan-
sion and growth which would come
with the influx of immigration. In
despair Of improvement millions OF
Canadians have emigrated from Can
ada disguested.
If the people of Canada will sane
ton the plans and policies adopted
by the last two Cabinets. Canada will
be but n deserted way station ignored
by hte millions of European immi-
grants who are attracted by the open
doors of other more far-seeing coun-
tries.
In conclusion the. Star" asks "Is

the courage he displayed fighting
against the Poles by being promoted
to the lieutenancy, now faces trial for
the alleged murder of corporal Sam
son.
Baer, it is now revealed, at the or

poral Samson, who was suspected of
being communist spy. A second order
which Baer received called for the ex-
ecution of the Communist leader, Paul
Levi, Jew, but Baer hesitated. At
last he was himself sentenced to death
but, while being conducted to his
doom, gendarmes arrived to free him.
Baer is now accused of having muir

to take place soon. The circumstances
surrounding the Baer affair reveal an
astounding amount of anti-Semitism
prevailing in the army. Baer suf-
fered terribly under the brutal anti
Semitic treatment of his comrades.

 Why the building code hasn't been enforced right along is not stated. Why 1t is necessary to have a code to safeguard the interests of the public and then not strictly enforce 1t every day of the year, Is something of a mystery.
 Informal charges made before the commission include:
 A plumber failed to take out per- nnits for jobs under way.
 Some plumbers are employing inef- hcient helpers who cannot obtain H. censes paying them 50 cents an hour and charging the public s1.4O an hour.

The suit Of the government against t0 gasoline producing companies. headed by the Standard oil groups, evidently denies the claim frequently made on behalf Of the oil industry that there is a plentitude Of compe- tiiion in it: that independents drill wells just like the Standard companies. and that such advantages as the Standard enjoys is due entirely to su- perior efficiency.
 The suit Of Attorney General Stone on behalf of tine government indicates that such competition. where it seemed 10 exist at all. must have been of the show window variety.

The order, taken by the Rhineland commission at the sugges- ton Of the French member, is in line with the new policy of the Herriot government
 few days ago Premiers Herriot and Macdonald agreed to meet al Checquers to agree on unity of pol- Icy. Agreement between the French and British premiers is now much easier than with Poincare at the helm Of French destiny.
 Poincare's theory was that the in- terests of every other nation in Eu- rope was to be submerged to that of France. The erstwhle Conservative ministry in England could not bend Poincare from his theories and as 2 result the unity Of the late allies was threatened.
 In the case of Herriot and Mac Donald, however conditions are re- versed. Herriot Is inclined to be con- eiliatory, and so is Macdonald. The two And themselves in accord.

 About year ago the governor of North Dakota started an effective cru- sade against eXorbitant gasoline prices. nd at a time when the oil companies were sending out subtle propa ganda that dollar gasoline was a probability of the near future. No propaganda ever fell Gatter, for in a few weeks after the North Dakota governor gol out his battle axe other states had taken up the crusade and a rapid fall in the price of gasoline resulted, greatly to the distress of Wall street.
 The present suit of the government is likewise distressing Wall street greatly The attorney general is be- ing roundly lambasted, and the fren- zied satraps of the financial interests are sorry that the do-nothing Daugh- erty didn't stay on the job.
