ing a study in which the committee
is to have the cooperation Of the
Bureau of Jewish Social Research.
The proposed central organization

throughout the United States for
the composite requirements of the
National groups and will act as

for the control of scores of national
agencies. Among its purposes will
be the ALLEGATION of funds to Pal

New York-John u. Rockefeller Jr.,
made his second large contribution to
n Jewish cause within six months when
he sent $4,000 to the Federation for
the support of Jewish Philanthropic So
cieties, which, with other donations an
nounced. sent the federation's drive
above the $4,OOO,0OO mark. Mr.. Rookie
feller's previous gift was 100000 to
the United Jewish Campaign last May
Four Milsn Passed
Announcement of the contribution
was made by Frederick Brown, General
Chairman of the campaign, ut dinner
meeting of councillors and division
heads of the campaign at the Harmonic
club. Additional subscriptions amount
ing to $G94,1S2 were announced, bring
ing the total to s4,0l1,7s9, or slightly
more than 100000 short of the
S4.72O,OOO goal.
Mr.. Rockefeller, in making his gift
to the n. Y. Jewish Federation, not
only bespoke his sympathy with the
cause for which the donation was made,
but offered it as an expression of his
admiration of the efficiency Of the Jew
ish system in philanthropy.
Charity Bt yond Creed or Race
Referring TO gifts made outside the
denominations of the donors, Mr.
Rockefeller said:
when the Christian gives generous
ly to the support of Jewish phiian-
thropy and the Jew gives with like gen.
erosity for non-Jewish relief, why
should there not be common effort to
help all, without regard to creed or
race? A step in that direction is the
cooperation which has come about
through the Welfare Council. A furth-
er step will he taken If and when the
major agencies come together under
one roof, as is proposed, and so make
working together more easily practic-
able and effectual."

CONSUkMATlON OF JEWISH AGENCY PLAN ANNOUNCED
BY DR. WEIZMANN AT HISTORIC BOSTON CONFERENCE
FORD MUST SEEK
PARDON Of JEWS"
--MATHAN STRAuS
Patriarch Philanthropist's
Message Heard at
Boston

Nathan Straus, attending the Ma
tional Conference on Palestine in
Boston, in statement urging that
"all should help in the rebuilding of
the Holy Land, the cradle of the
three main religions" had this to
say anent Christian millionaires in
general and Henry Ford in partic-
ular:
1.-THE Jewish millionaires who fail
in their duty are not the only Of
tenders by not employing their
wealth properly. Among the Chris
tian millionaires there are some who
use their wealth for the benefit of
mankind and others who use it for
destructive purposes, for breeding
trouble. For example, the Rockefel-
lers, both father and son, are devot-
ing their millions to help the well
fare of mankind, to promote science
and advance civilization, while a
man like Hepry, Ford, who has be-
come one Of the richest among the
money kings Of the world, has en-
gagged in a campaign of slander
against the Jewish people, has
spread malicious lies about them and
has stirred up trouble, mischief and
hatred here and in Europe.
Violates Christian Doctrine
"He processes to be a Christian,
but he has violated the doctrines of
Christ. The wealth of the Rockefel-
lers is blessing to this country and
to the rest of the world, while that
of Henry Ford has been a curse to
America and to the rest of the
world.
"But it is not too late yet. Mr..
Ford and his son must have realized
ere now that some of the sycophants
in his surroundings, for their own
personal reasons, misinformed and
deceived him. For a man of his
great interests it is not possible to
verify all that is reported to him.
If he has grudge which originated
from his peace ship against any in
dividual, is that reason for con-
demning a whole race?
Make Amends
at takes the great to make
amends for their mistakes, and al
though we have suffered much from
these past attacks on an innocent,
inoffensive people, we will forgive
and forget if Mr.. Ford admits the
wrong he has inadvertently inflicted
in the past.
"If he submitted the facts to a
committee of ten men of unimpeach-
able character-minister and lay
men-he would be fully convinced of
the justice of my claim. Let him
select eight and I will select two
outstanding Christians to act on this
committee. Is not this fair propo-
sition?
"How admirable are those noble
Christians, those distinguished Amer
leans, who have recently formed a
committee for the purpose of raising
q fund for the relief of our suffer
ing people abroad! They are teach
ing by example the real brotherhood
of man." he said.

FINANCIAL NEWS
New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Dec. II (AP) -
Heavy weekend profit taking gave
the stock market an irregular ap-
pearance today, but number of
issues advanced to new high lev
els on the current upsWing and
succeeded in maintaining most of
their gains. Selling generally was
well absorbed with net declines,
as a rule held to fraction. Trad
ing was in fairly heavy volume for
a half holiday session, total sales
running close to 100000 shares.
The only important overnight
trade in the sugar development
was the signing Of the presidential
decree, limiting the size Of the cur
rent crop to 4,500,0 tons. It was
apparent, however, that the mar
,ket was beginning to feel the ef
feet of the optimistic statements
on the future of business, which
were issued earlier in the week by
President Coolidge, Secretaries
Mellon and Hoover and leading
business, banking and rail eXecu-
tives.
Most of the standard industrials,
such as U. S. steel, common, Bald
win, General Motors and Standard
Oil of New Jersey, showed mixed
fractional changes on the day. The
leading rails also moved within
rather narrow and irregular linn
it's, although renewed accumula-
ton was apparent in the eastern
coalers, particularly those associ-
ated with rumors of higher divi~
dends.
Great Western Sugar moved UP
8 IL points to new peak price
at 10 3-4, closing at the top.
South Porto Rican sugar also
moved up points TO a new top at
165, but lost all but a point of its
gain. Punta Allegro and Cuba cane
preferred also broke through their
previous maximum quotations.
Among the other issues to attain
new 1926 high prices were Pere
Marquette common, st. Louis-San
