HINDENBURG LOSING POPU-
LARITY AMONG GERMAN
NATIONALISTS
Accused of Listening to Jewish
Advisers

Berlin.-(J. T. A.)-Paul Won Hin
denburg, president of the German re-
public, the choice of the nationalist
bloc, is losing his popularity among
the nationalists because of his oppo-
sition to anti-Semitism in the govern
ment.
This became evident when Otto
kunze, known as "Knuepfel Kunze'
for having introduced rubber whips to
lash the Jews, leader of the German
nationalists, attacked the president in
an address delivered in Dresden re-
Gently. He alleged that the president
is surrounded by Jewish advisers.
simultaneously, the Berlin anti
Semitic weekly, "Hakenzreuz," calls
Hindenburg "Juden Diener," servant
of the Jews. "The German cause
would be better served if we would
have Jew as president of the rcpub-
lie instead of Hindenburg," the paper
declared.

By BERNARD A. BERGMAN

At the National Palestine Conference
In Baltimore Isidorc u. Morrison, well.
known New York attorney and one of
the first Zionists In America, made pub
lie his monumental gift toward the re-
settlement of n Jewish Palestine. the
first and most auspicious contribution
Of the 1o25-192G campaign.
In creating a 100000 endowm ment
fund for the major Palestine develop
meut funds, Mr.. Morrison has cstab-
lishcd precedent In Palestine living,
which. II followed by other practical
philanthropists of his type, will insure
n steady income for the development OF
Palestine along sound, business lines.
The Morrison Plan-as someone has
happily characterized this veteran Zion
lists aciion-was no spontaneous piece
by Mr.. Morrison's long and devoted
service to the Zionist cause-he was
one Of the founders of the Zionist Or
ganiZution of America-it was the out
come of serious study of the problem
of eliminating the hectic drives with
their uncertain results and their ter
rife waste OF the energies Of the Zion
ist leaders and the substitution Of an
orderly plan which would guarantee a
steUdy, large annual income for the
chief Zionist rebuilding funds. Thus
the immigration and colonization pro-
gram could he carried out along sub
stantial business lines in which the
budget could be fixed with certainty as
TO the minimum income that could I've
expected during the year.
The Morrison Plan is the solution OF
this problem ms Mr.. Morrison sees 1t.
His 100000 endowment fund will bring
an income of ut least 5000 annually
to the Keren Hayesod. Jewish National
Fund and Hebrew University Fund.
And as he explained in an interview
the other day:
Il see no reason why Mt least one
thousand Jews in America could not
be found who would set aside sim
liar endowment fund for this work, the
greatest piece Of constructive philan-
thropy we Jews can devote ourselves
to. On the most conservative basis
there are certainly one thousand Jews
in this country Of sufficient wealth to
establish 100000 endowment funds for
