ments before they could settle on
land And since they have not the
necessary funds they are compelled
to continue their prccarious existence
IN Mexico City, whore pcddling is
their chief occupation.
"The streets Of Mexico City, we are
told, are full with Jewish peddlers"
reports Mr.. Ben Zion Some rascnls
take advantage Of their poverty to
mislcnd Jewish women and compel
them to lead the life of prostitution.
The CHASTITY Whit slave traffic of
former days in Argentine is raising
its head in the new land. This con-
dition should not be permitted to con-
tinue. The new Mexican immigration
ought to be helped and guided by all
Jews who are interested in the prob
lem Of the Jewish immigrants.
The keren IIayesDd Drive in New
York
Commenting on The recent banquet
in the Astor Hotel at the close Of
the keren Hayesod drive in New York
IN which s70O,0OO were raised for Pal
estine, Dir. NJ S. Malemad in the New
Warheit of May Is takes New York
Jewry to task for It's meager contri-
tuition. He finds that the per capita
Of the Jews of New York toward this
fund amouts to about so cents each
and says that if the Jews the world
over will not contribute more it will
be impossible to raise the six or seven
million dollars needed annually for the
Keren Hayesod work in Palestine.
"The Jews of New York spend more
than this in one week for manicuring
their nails" says DR.. Malemad. Jew
ish women of New York spend more
money annually for their powder puff
and at least three times as much to
wave their hair. Ten times this sum
is lost annually by New York Jews in
poker games and at least three times
rs much is squandered on sham char
tiles. A single group of Orthodox
Jews in New York contributed twice
this sum this year for a Yeshivah.
Why then this great joy over the fact
that the largest and wealthiest Jewish
community of the world has contri-
buted s7oO,0OO this year for the up
building of Palestine.
Three million dollars is the least
that the Jews of New York should
have contributed making it a per
capita of $500, but 2O1s of this sum
is a shame and a victory for the
Arabs. / want the Jews of New York
to understand this simple thing: the
Arabic movement in Palestine is not
being created there but in New York
II the Arabs would notice that the
Jews Of the world led by the Jewry
of New York are expending millions
annually IN Palestine and mean tc
build up the country, they would jump
on the band wagon and join in shout.
ing Hurrahl But seeing that this is
done, they are making trouble where.
ever they can. Nothing affects the
Arab as much as power, and instead
we show our helplessness. With the
exception Of two or three capable
men, the leaders of the American
keren Hayesod are people without
vision, absolutely unfit for the great
task. All l can say is that the miser.
liness of the New York Jews in the
matter of the Keren Hayesod fits ex
actly the incapable leadership o.
many of the Keren Hayesod officials
The leaders Of the American KereI
Hayesod are wealthy Jews, good Jews
and capable ones. capable for them
selves, in the Keren Hayesod the,
do not show their ability. If thel
cannot secure now when every Jew
in America favors Palestine NOR
than 100000 a year for the Kerer
Hayesod in New York, they havt
proven amply their inability and in
ability should not be celebrated."
