Declares   That   Farm-Colonissar zation Is Great Success and That Polish Distress Is ^    Being    Ameliorated
When the several hundred leaders of. American Jewry who Inive been actively identified with raising the largest sum of money ever obtained for overseas relief, assemble at the Standard. Club in Chicago on Qctober !> and lOlh they
¦ will hear..,a rcporfon what has been, ac¬ complished already in the effort.to give
: the Jews of Europe their; ardently de-
. Mred "chance to help theriiselyes". froni Mr.. Jacob Biilikopf, executive, director of the Federation of Jewish Charitie.'i of this, city, impartial chairman of the
¦.Meii's Clothing Industry in- New York City, and one of the outstanding author¬ ities of social service in this country. , Last Tuesday Mr. Biilikopf returned from   Europe   where   he   made  an   ex-
: haustivc stiidy of'the social, economic and cultural, conditions of. the Jews in Russia and Poland. He left this coun¬ try the middle of last Jtme. and spent virtually all the time in these two coun¬ tries. He :al50; visited Germany arid England, but only for a very short time. , T^o the many^ representatives of, the press who interviewed him as the. Ma- jestici on which he arrived, was making its lyay from quarantine in New York .harbor to its dock,.Mr: Biilikopf told how profoundly-impressed he was with
¦,; what he beheld'in those two countries; ¦how much different they aire today from what they were irt IfllO when he last visited them on." behalf of the joint dis¬ tribution committee.'
Grei^test Philanthropic Effort in
'.¦/;-i;;H-'.-\ ' .-History .,¦ . ;He made' it-clear that the service be- irig rendered by the Jews of America to their; stricken people iti Europe is hot only, the most necessary, and riieans tiernendously much  for the future ex-
,   isterice  of  the  iriillions   of  Jews  over
¦ ;there', but it,is also ithe finest, the riipst huriiane and the most constructive re¬ habilitation effort ever undertaken any¬ where on a large scale in the history of philanthropy,. The Jews of America, he said, are writing ^he most glorious chapr ter in their history. By this he did not mean to single out any particular phase of the worl? now being dotie. by the joint distribution committee, but by its entire program which i)i<c]udes relief, culture: and permanent reconstruction. The Jews of America, he added, have ever^f: reason to be satisfied with tht service to which their contributions are
•.being put as with the results achieved. "If it were only'possible for njore Jews to go abroad and see .what has been done the joint distribution committee would experience no difficulty iri raising the; quota it has set for itself.   :
Incidentally Mr. Billikbpf is of the opinion that the twenty-five millions of : d(^|]ars. now being raised in this coun¬ try'will be woefully inadequate to meet the^needs of European Jewry. This in spite of the fact that tlie American dol-
. lar goes a very long way'in these coun-

Jews of Poland Have New Hope
The first country visited by Mr. Billi- , kopf was Poland. Here he found con¬ ditions mncli mdrje favorable than: they have been in many years. It would seem that the morale of the Jews df that country has undergone a consider¬ able change for the better. This may be attributed to two causes.". In the first place tbe Pilsudsky regime has infustd new hope in many of the people. It will be recalled that the marshal and his associates made it clear at the outset (Continn-cd  OH page 4)

T. I. Congregation's Good Will Dinner Is Addressed By Schanfarber
Speakers Express Hope That Success Will Crown the Efforts of Tem- _'. ple*s Building Committee
About fifty members, of the Tifereth Israel Congregation turned out, for the complimentary good will ¦. dinner ar¬ ranged by the officers at the ,Southrrn ¦Hotel last Monday evening as a testi¬ monial of the -high esteem in which Kabbi Abraham Tannenhaurii was held by the entire nicmbcrship. Harry Kahn presided at the dinner in Such a fash-r ion'ihat he ingratiated him.seli into the hearts tof all. the auditors. Ralibi Abra¬ ham Taniienbaiim, the first speaker, dwelt at length ¦ on the , -fundamental necessity- for the'iucciess of the East Broad . Street ^ Temple's building pro¬ ject.. ¦"':..,
He concluded by thanking the officers pf the Temple for their .unfailing cour¬ tesy towards, him and declared' that he would always: remember with much de¬ light the pleasant i-eception he was given in .Columbiis by every one, whh whom he camb in contact.
As a-slight token of their affection for the rabfji, the officers presented liini with a beautiful brief case.
The next siieaker. President Leon Nason^-reviewed the eflforts of the con¬ gregation during the past two years and emphasized the point that the spirit of unity and wholehearted coopefatioti is now heeded more than ever before "if we sincerely desire to achieve" our gpal:*'
E. J. Schanfarber^ ehairmari of the United Jewish Fund of Columbus, con¬ cluded the diipier by a most eloquent address in which he portrayed the fine fruits of a successful cbngregatiotl.' : "Your wriliring president, Leon Na¬ son," he asserted, "deserves the support of, every individual, member, for he is capable.efficient, and high minded. He is practical, aS' well as idealistic: I only wish that there were more men of his type i.n this  community.
"I want you to -know that 1 am in hearty sympathy whh your., building project and .shall endeavor to do all I can to assist yon in every way possi¬ ble."..
In most of the matters which concern workl Jewry, New York acts as, spokes¬ man; its million tind,a half Jews, its numerous .Jewish institutions and schools and temples give it priority. And so it often happens. that the New York point of view is accepted as the Jewish viewpoint of America. In.thc growing characteristically American cit¬ ies beyond tlie Mississippi,. a distiilcivc point of view, thoroughly Jewish and yet native to the soil is developing Avith a leadership which bids soon.' to pass the boundaries of sectionalism.  , ,

"Tell me," i suggested at the outset, "whether the middle western Jew reacts: differently on Jewish, prpbleriis than does the eastern Jew? Has lie an individ¬ ualized, viewpoint? Is his opportunity to retain his Jewish consciousness greater or less than that of his brother in the East?".-',. '¦¦':

' "Take the B'nai B'rith. as an instance, (and it is a typical case in: point)," he went on. "The^ B'nai'B'ritli is attractive to the Jew in.-^the Middle West because it' furni.shc,'; a medium of expression.
