Due to Revolution
Especial to The Herald


LAREDO, Tex, April IA great
loss to the farmers Of the state of
Sinaloa has resulted from the
revolution in Mexico, according to
information brought out Of that
country by Americans reaching
here.
They say that in the state Of
Sinaloa and around Hermosillo,
Sonora, over $50 carloads of toma-
toes have been lost by being left
on tracks and unable to be moved
on account Of railroad tracks and
bridges being destroyed, while
hundreds Of carloads of other vege-
tables. including green string beans
likewise have persisted.
The Americans reported the
states Of Sinaloa and Sonora verit-
ably "swarming' with rebels, and
that they were in control Of ev-
erything in those states. How
ever. otherwise than destroying
tracks and preparing for a federal
attack, they we're not molesting
farmers or other people in those
states.

FOR THE HOMELAND
Audience at Community Gen.
ter Urged to Support Ma
tionaI Zionist Roll Call.

Appeals to Washington Jewry to reg
lister their faith in a. Jewish homeland
by supporting the National Zionist roll
call featured mass meeting held at
the Jewish Community Center last
night under the auspices Of the District
Zionist Organization.
Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist
Organization of America, was the prin-
cipal speaker and received a warm ova-
ton from the large crowd. Mr.. Lipsky
reviewed the situation in Palestine
which led to the recent clashes between
Jews and Arabs. He said that the un-
rest was more or less to be expected,
and that time would iron out the diff
culties. He attributed the seriousness
of the riots to the inefficiency of the
British administrative officials in the
Holy Land rather than to the home
government.

supporting the roll call in order to
show the world that American Jewry
stood squarely behind the Jewish home
land endeavor.

president of the District Zionist Organi-
zation was indicted into Office last
night and made a stirring appeal for
support of his administration. He

at once, although the actual drive did
not get under way until November 10.
Cards were distributed and the majority
needed his request

board Zionist region and the Seaboard
HadasSah regional unit held their

Gus communities of Maryland, Virginia,

trict and campaign dates set.
