SUBJECTS OF INTEREST
TO JEWS UP FOR DEBATE
Discussion Due in April, With
American and British Organiza-
tions Represented in Lineup.

Two subjects regarded as of great
importance to Jews throughout the
world will be debated in the United
States in April by teams representing
the Avukah, American Student Zion

Zionist Federation of the British Fed
GRAFTON of the British Empire.
The questions to be discussed, said
an announcement recently by Max
Rhoade, president of Avukah, are: SIS

the solution of the Jewish problem?"
and Does the ancient Jewish COM
monwealth offer a sufficiently adj
vanced and acceptable model for the
new Jewish Palestine, from the mod.
ern political, social and economic
standpoint"
The first topic will develop the
question of priority of Palestine, with
particular reference to whether that
project should take rank over the
colonization Of Jews in Russia, and
the second, whether the fundamental
Jewish conception of an Hebraic COM
monwealth is supported by modern
advanced thought as the ideal for the
new Jewish Palestine form of govern.
