WASHINGTON.—Opposition to the 'Proposed hill concerning the registration of aliens in thc United States was ex¬ pressed by thc United States Giamber o£ Commerce in thc report of a special commiltec made pittilic yesterday.
The immigration committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, considcriiifif all angles of thc question, came to thc conclusion that "thc regis¬ tration of aliens is not in Accordance with American principles; it would arouse hostility and mistrust, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce the law effectively; it would raise ques- 'tfons of treaty rrghLs, of nationals of other powers^ unless registration include citizens as well as aliens; it would en¬ tail large cxpendUures to pay for the routine work o( annually registering 7,000,000 persons aud additional expendi¬ tures for a corps of agents to seek out aliens who fail to register, and punish them. It wQUld lead to demand for an¬ nual registration of all inhabitants of thc country."
Declaring that this bill is not in ac¬ cordance with thc American principle of freedom, the committee stated that "freedom of the individual from official surveillance or espionage, unless he is su.spected of crimc^ is an American prin¬ ciple. Periodic registration and dose supervision of individuals by officials ¦ has been held Xty, Americans to bc-char- actcristic of tyrannies, not of free gov¬ ernments. Whether registration of aliens would run counter to provisions of thc federal constitution is a question that probably cannot be decided until a test case is brought before thc Supreme Court. Two provision.?, however, de¬ serve consideration. Thc Fourth Amend¬ ment assures 'the right of the people to be secure in their pcr.son,s, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable .searches and seizures. . . and no warrant shall issue 'but upon proper cause supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to he searched, and the person or things to he ^sciMd.' The other provision of the Constitution is 'The Constitution and the laws of thc United States. . . and all treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be • the supreme law of the IdndV
¦The committee which rendered the re¬ port consisted of Karl dc Laittre, chair¬ man, vice-president of Bovey-De Laittre Lumber Company, Minneapolis, Minn.; Henry Briicrq, vice-president, Metropol¬ itan Life Insurance Company, New York; J.

NEW YORK. — Nahum Sokolow, President of.the World Zionist Execu¬ tive, ended liis tlirec-inonths' visit to America this week, following addresses for the United Palestine Appeal deliv¬ ered in many of the important Jewish communities of the country.
Before sailing for South Africa, thc beloved Sage of the Zionist Movement in an interview declared that Ite had ob- .¦jerved a ten-fold increase in Zionist in¬ terest ill this country over his first visit four years ago. j
"This increased interest is both one of j quantity and of quality," Mr. Sokolow said. "It is seen ia the great advance in numbers and contrilmtions, culminating in the striking success of the United Palestine Appeal this year. It is also evident in the intelligent attitude Ameri¬ can Jev/s display toward the Zioiiist ideal and the wider information they have on the movement and on the work in Pales¬ tine.
The day is past when European Jewry looks upon Atnerica as a "rich uncle," according to Mr. Sokolow. "It is my desire and it is also the desire of all other European Zionists that America play an increasingly important role in thc movement; that American Jewry exercise a moral and intellectual influ¬ ence in Zionist leaderships in keeping with its importance and on a par with its generous outpouring of wealth for Zionist activities in Palestine.
"The leading impression that I am carrying away with me after my ex¬ tended visit is the need for large-scale educational activity to preserve Jewish cultural values in this country. I have found a genuine hunger for sucli an edu¬ cational program in America. Those American Jews who came from other countries want and need a continuation of the Jewish cultural life which they left behind. Native-born Jews, I have found, feel an emptiness in their Jewish life, which should he filled and which can be filled through such an extensive educational program.
"By preserving Jewish cultural values in Anierica, Zionist sentiment will, in turn, be strengthened and deepened. Without such Jewish education neither Zionist nor any other Jewish cultural propaganda will have any lasting re¬ sults."
Mr. Sokolow said that he was in¬ formed that steps were already under way to begiji Jewish education on a large scale in this country and he knew it would greatly rejoice Jewish leaderJi in South Africa and countries he planned to visit later, to learn that American Jewry   had   undertaken   this   important
iitC]).
*'T am taking with me to South Africa thc message of America's outstandhig success in the present $5,000,000 United Appeal," he concluded. "I know it will fire tbe leaders there and stimulate the community to follow the example of America's generous action at thc time of critical need in Palestine, Not only in South Africa, but in all other countries, thc example of America's giving this jfear will have its effect."
Before sailing Mr. Sokolow, who by his ceaseless travels throughout the world is a veritable Ulysses of the Zion¬ ist nipvement, was tendered a farewell luncheon by (he leaders of the United Appeal. The sjpeakers included Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Louis Lipsky, Morris llothenberg, Emanuel tNeumann and the two remaining distinguished Zionist guests—Chaim iNachman Bialik and Dr. Schmarya Leyin.

Two  hundred  and   fifty  members  of the Kose E. Lazarus Sisterhood and the j Temple Israel Brotherhood enjoyed the ' first joint meeting held under the atts- H pices of these twd organization.s at the ' Southern     Hotel,     Tuesday     evening, I March 10.   The spirit of good will and [ fcllowf^hip filled the atmosphere of the Winter   Garden   in   which   a   <leHcious dinner was served to the tune of good music.   Thc eiitertaimnciit feature.-) .sup¬ plied  hy the  Zeta   Rcta  Tau   fraternity and   the   music' furnished   by  the   Phi Sigma  Delta boys afforded  all  present much genuine satisfaclion.
The occasion was an exceptionally mo- nientous one, Kabbi Tarshish declared, because it signified the closer welding of thc congregation and undoubtedly wotdd i>rove the beginning of much accompli shnierits    for    Temple
Columbus Jewry will be afforded an unusual opportunity of receiving first¬ hand information concerning the prog¬ ress being made in the rebuilding of Palestine as the National Homeland for the Jewish People, Wednesday evening, March 2-lth. at the Agudath Achim Syn¬ agogue. A fine musical prograin has > been arranged  for thc occasion.
At that time and place there will be { held   a   Mass   Meeting  whicii   will   be i addressed 'by Mr. Joseixh Baratz, a rcsi-' dent of Palestine.   Mr. Baratz is known | as one of the outstanding Jewish Labor Leaders of that country, and is noted for his eloquent oratory.    He has lived in Palestine for the past 18 years and he is, for this reason, well qualified, as very few people arc, to (race the prog¬ ress that has been steadily made during this period of time in the rehabilitation of that country.   He is one of thc found¬ ers of the first and most successful Co¬ operative  colony^  Dcganijah,  which  is principally an agricultural settlement.
Mr. Baratz is touring the country in behalf of the Quarter Million Dollar Tool Campaign. Thousands of Jewish workingincn have been compelled to abandon their native countries in Europe because of boycotts and persecutions and arc now steadily pouring into Palestine, tlieir only haven of refuge. The purpose nf thii Tool Campaign is to provide these workingincn with the necessary tools, machinery and other equipment for agricultural and industrial purposes.

Special  Notice  To All Minstrel Show Enthusiasts of Columbus
All thdae interested in participating in the big 1. O. B. B. Minstrel Show, which will be staged next month at the Hartman Theatre, must report tomorrow (Sunday) at 2:00 p. m. at the Hermine Schonthel Cominunity House. A com¬ mittee headed by Sid Riley, veteran Co¬ lumbus Minstrel coach, will select the best talent from among those that report. About .seventy-five will be in the cast this year and it is expeclc-d that about 2,000 people will turn out for the affair.
The rabbi then urged every one to take a deeper interest in the affairs of the Temple and deplored the fact that such an outstanding clergyman as Dr. Rittenhonse should have seen fit to assert in a recent radio address that "the m.ajority of American Jews are only financial memhers of the synagog." "Tliis meeting, however," he said, "has been one of the goals I have been striving for since coming to Columbus.' Tt will be a red letter day in Temple Israers calendar, from which a more united and stronger congregation will dedicate itself to broader fields of ac- tivity/' ^
Tliurnian "Dusty" Miller, philosopher
and humorist, of Wilmington, who was
itbe guest of   honor    for   the   evening,
^ liointcd  out the dangers  of "indecision,
1 indiflercnce, and intolerance" in any or-
' ganization, and stressed the crying need
fur an increased "count "me" and "I do"
spirit.    -He   was  introduced  hy   Harry
Kohn.    .
"The challenge," said "Dusty" Miller, "is how good wc can do a thing and not necessarily how big it is. Success the measure of service you render to the world. You've got to put more into a thing than you take out to get any¬ where, even in a church or synagogue.* Others who spoke during thc evening were Rabbi Lee J. Levinger and Mrs. Marcus H. Uumstine, president of the Rose E. Lazaru.s Sisterhood. Leo Yas¬ senoff, president of the Temple Israel Brotherhood, was toastmaster.
We WiU  Put It Over
At the regional conference held in this city on behalf of the United Jewish* Campaign, David A. Hrown described most vividly ancl forcefully the humiliations and sufferings of our coreligionists in" Russia, Koumania, Poland, and Bjessarabia. He pointed out the fact that people who at one time occupied positions of wealth and influence are now reduced to a state of actual starvation. Their children arc forced to seek for food in refuse cans; they are chithed in tattered rags and go about thc country begging for a morsel of bread. Men who were philanthropists prior to tlie World War, men who endowed social service institutions, men who led in civic ac livijies are now finding themselves objects of charity, bereft of their wealth, their beautiful homes, and tbeir thriving businesses and arc relying on their generous Amerit;an brethren for their sub sistence.
Mr. Brown, in his own inimitable way, brought home to every one present the compelling necessity of unity and cooperation in order to cope successfully with the great problems of relief and recon¬ struction across the sea. Although no definite quota was decided upon at this meeting, there is no question but that Columbus and Central Ohio will do its part.
Under the supervision and direction of such men as Edward J. Goodman, chairman for Central Ohio, E, J. Schanfarber, vice-chair¬ man, Harry Kohn, chairman for Columbus, and Simon Lazarus, treasurer, the campaign in this section of the btate will go over big.

JAMES N. ROSENBERG WILL TOUR EUROPEAN LANDS
NHW YORK. —Additional aid ap¬ proximating $1,100,000 will be expended for the Russian Jewish farmers during the currpnt year through D. Joseph Rosen, head of the Agro-Joint, thc agency of the Joint Distribution Com- millcc in Ku<-sia, according to an an¬ nouncement of the Joint Distribution (V)inmittcc made yesterday.
Ninety jicr cent of this sum will be in the form of loans to Jewish fanners for housc-huilding, purchase of seed, livc-stnck, and agricultural implements, and the maintenance until the harvest season. As these loans are repaid they ¦ will go into a revolving fund for future - loans for similar farmers. The balance will go for medical relief, tractor courses and administrative purposes. This budget, it is -exiiected by the Joint Dis- trllmtion Commiltce, will cover 7,09J farming fiunilies of whom 3,631 settled on the land last year and of 3,460 fam¬ ilies who arc just embarking on agricul¬ tural life. Of the $1,100,000 budget $:>80,- OOfi will be furnished by the Joint Dis¬ tribution Committee and the balance be¬ ing drawn by Dr. Rosen from the Agro- Joiiil's reserves.
'Jbu aspects of the settling work in Russia and relief in other European countries, for which thc fl.->.00(>,000 Uuited Jewish campaign is being con¬ ducted, were discussed at a luncheon at thc Hotel Bihinore. Leaders of thc $(i,nOfi.()0l> New Yotk drive, including Louis Marshall and William Fox, David M. Bresslcr and James Rosenberg, spoke Ibe hincheon, which was presided over by Felix M. Warburg, honorary ehairman of thc New York campaign.
Reproaches of their children because ihey are leading non-protiuctive lives, the governmental policy of extcrminat- i ing tbe merchant class, and the precari- ousncss of urban existence, arc the three leading factors which are causing large numbers of Jews in Russia to become. fanners, declared Mr. Louis Fischer, who was the first speaker at the luncli- eon. Mr. Fischer recently returned from Russia. According to an announcement in "Thc Nation," Mr. Fischer was re¬ cently appointed London correspondent of the "Rosta," the Russian Govern- mem'.i news agency.
Mr. Fischer declared that the Jews on thc farms felt undoubtedly safer from rK)gronis and counter-revolutionary uprisings than tbe Jews in thc cities. r\s farmers they bad been able to dem¬ onstrate to the neighboring peasantry that thc tales that Jews are parasites arc niythd. By tbeir own arduous labor they have demonstrated to the peasantry that Jews are also i)rodiicers. By de¬ veloping thousands of acres of fallow land they have added to thc prosperity of the neighboring country, and the ex¬ tension by the Joint Distribution Com¬ mittee of the use of its tractors and breeding stations to thc peasantry with¬ out discrimination has established a new {Continued on page A)
