BRUSSELS.-(J. T. A.)—Jewish So- , cialists of thc anti-Zionist kind were in •iliarp clash with pro-Zionist, non-Jewish labor leaders at thc session here of thc Kxccntive Committee of the Amsterdam Tnternalioiial, over the I'alestnic question. The proposal of Emilc Vandervelde, Bel¬ gium Socialist statesman wlio recently returned from a visit to Palestine, that the fnternationa! creates a special com- iiiis.'iion for Palestine alTairs was thc center of the storm. Action was blocked by the opposition of thc Jewish Social¬ ists until a special conference of all So¬ cialist leaders, which was called for Thursday, undertakes a thorough di'scus- .sion of the matter.
The clash occurrc<I between Arthur Henderson, prc.sident of thc International, and Fritz Adler, .secretary. Mr. Adler said thc Poale Zion, Zionist Socialists, arc playing too prominent a part in the International compared with the other parties. Their independent actions are unconstitutional, introducing chaos and trouble into the Palestinian problem, he stated. Mr.^Adler also criticised Social¬ ist le-iders who are aiding in the "crea¬ tion of a siiecial Palestinian commis- siun anil asked whether the Icadcrd can join u commission outside thc scoitc of the International.
In  thc  btory  debate  which  followed
discovery of man in the art of communi¬ cation;' Agriculture and Forests and their Products, a comprehensive section, .including every phase o;f food produc* tion manufactured from vegetable sub¬ stances; Civil Engineering and Public Works, showing thc industrial progress of man in sanitation, bnttding subways and canals, city planning and ¦ similar improvements; Fundamental ScicneeSf an exhibit of progress of physics and chem¬ istry and their application to industry.
One department head has been cbosen. Dr. S. Cohim Gilfillan, former professor of economics and allied subjects at the University of the South and Grinncll, la., College is working now in outlining plans tor exhibits in the transportation division. Miss Marion F. Williams, formerly of the University of Chicago and the Art Institute, has been made mu¬ seum librarian.

NEW YORK. — Julius Rosenwald | hr)lds an optimistic view with regard to llic future of Judaism ui America. In :ui interview with thc representative of "Tlic Day," Mr. Rosenwald replied to thc question whether he was an as- simifationist and believed that thc Jews, as a distinct and separate nationality, would cease to exist in America, and whuther such a termination of the Jew¬ ish people seemed to him desirable. "J am nu assiniilator and I do not believe in thc theory of assimilation. The Jews as a people, as an ethnic group, call it what ynu wilt, have exi.sted for thousands of years and will continue to exist as such in this country in the Jiiturc," Mr. Rosenwald is quoted.

Herbert Hoover Discusses Tolerance and Immigra¬ tion In Acceptance Speech
Noted Leader Favors Thc Repeal of National Origins Quota Law in His Accept-  ' ance Speech
In his addrcs.s acceptiiiig the Repub¬ lican presidential nomination, Herbert C. Hoover touched upon the questions of immigration and religious tolerance in the United States.
Speaking on tariff and immigration, he said:
"Thc Republican principle of an ef¬ fective control of imported goodi and of immigration has contributed greatly to thc prosperity of our country. There is no selfishness in this defense of our standards of living. Other countries gain nothing if thc high standards of America are sunk and if wc are pre¬ vented from building a civilization which sets the level of hope for thc entire world, A general reduction in the tar¬ iff would admit a flood of goods from abroad. It would injure every home. It would fill onr streets with idle workers. It would destroy thc returns to our dairymen onr fruit, llax and livestock growers, and our other farmers.
No man will bay that any immigra¬ tion or tariff law is perfect. We wel¬ come our new immigrant citizens and their great contribution to our nation; we seek only to protect them equally with those already here. We shall amend the immigration laws to .relieve unnecessary hardships upon families. As a member of the commission whose duty it is to determine the quota basis under the national origins law, I have found it is impossible to do so accurately and without hardship. Thc basis now in ef¬ fect nirries ont the essential principle of the law and I favor repeal of that part of thc act calling for a new basis of quotas."
On tolerance the candidate declared:
"In this land, dedicated to tolerance, wc still tind outbreaks of intolerance. ( come of Quaker <itock. My ances¬ tors were persecuted for their beliefs. Here they sought and found religious freedom. By blood and conviction 1 stand for religious tolerance both in act and in spirit. The glory of our American ideals is the right of every man to worship God according to his own conscience."

'"The attack against QUr institutions without warning and without charges will harm the Communist movement," the mciiiorandum st.ites, "because our com¬ rades in Russia and twenty other coitu- tries Whom wc organized under the .slo¬ gan, 'Fight for Communi.sm' cannot un¬ derstand this action, nor do wc."

JULIUS ROSEXWALD
hundred or two hundred years, I feci certain the Jewish people, including American Jewry, will exi.it a:> a separate group. There is no danger that Ameri¬ can Jewry might degenerate into a mere religious sect or lose its cultural signifi¬ cance.
Many Modifications
"1 believe," continued Mr. Rosenwald, "that in the not far distant future, the coming generations of American Jews are destined to undergo many modifica¬ tions. Certain aspects of the life of •American Jewry will undoubtedly change considerably within tbe next few genera¬ tions. I believe, however, that there will never be a dearth of lively activity in Ainerican Jewish life."
Asked whether he was prepared to contribute towards the perpetuation of Judaism in America, Mr. Rosenwald i.aid; "No. There is no nee<l of it. American Jewry either is strong enough to sustain itself and continue to be the forger of its own destiny* or it is not. In the first instance, there is no need of any assistance from mc, and in the latter event, my he]i> would be o'f no avail. Bnt 1 believe th.it American Juda¬ ism can and will sustain and perpetuate itself without any artificial stimulants. We are'all, contributing our share and I ajn doing what I can.
For Jewish Education
"Personally I am interested in Jew¬ ish edncation—now probably more than ever-before. I am also interested in He¬ brew education, not only in America but in Palestine as well. Here in Chi¬ cago we liavc a well-organized Jewish
educational sy.stcm. Wc have excellent Hebrew schonU. My friends, that is. the 'German Jews' of Chica>;o, arc also iiitcrciled in it and are very active in the Iicld of Hebrew education, because wc believe that a thorough Yiddish and Hebrew education i.s essential to the normal development oi Jewish life in , America. If I were an assiniilator, as some think I am, I should not give any financial support toward Hebrew edu¬ cation. The reason I do give financial support is that I am not an assiimilator; I do not desire the disappearance of the Jewish people as such. And being convinced that thc Jews as a people will nut disappear, I feel obliged to do my duty as a Jew.
A Richer Jewish Life "And just because I am not an assinii¬ lator, I am ready to sujiport all Jewish cultural activities, such as Yiddish and Hebrew education, Yiddish and Hebrew screiititic research, etc. I am glad to aid everything that helps to make Jewisli life richiT and more colorful. Wherever I come acros.s an individual or a group that is willing and able to contribute to the advancement of Je^^ish culture in whatever language, I am always ready to help.
. "In order that American Judaism way develoi) normally, we must take the ques¬ tion of Je-rtish education very seriously. Uniortunatelj', not enough has been ac¬ complished in this field so far, and I :im somewhat proud to have been among t'ne first to einphu'iizc the importance of a lieticr and more thorough Jewish edu¬ cation in America. If you want my opinion as to the pro.spects of perpetu¬ ating Judaism in America, here it is in a nutshell:'If wc take thc question of Jewish education scrioiislj', we shall have here a generation of serious-minded Jews; otherwise, I pity thc leaders of the future Jewish generations. An Old Timer "So you see," Mr. Rosenwald contin¬ ued, "that in the final analysis I am a real, plain, old-fashioned Jew. I have no 'involved theories about Judaism. I only know that Jews wim know nothing of Jewish tratlition are not thc most desirable kind of people; and I further know that Jewish tradition is something that has lo be studied and mastered. When the JewLsh youth in America wiU take tn studying Jewish tradition, that is Jewish history, Hebrew, religion, lit¬ erature, and Jewish institutions and cus¬ toms, then thc permanence of the Jews in this country shall be assured. To what extent Jewish life in otlier coun¬ tries depends upon a theoretical Jewish education, I do not know, because I am not acquainted witti, conditions there. But conditions in America are iairly well known to me, and my friends and' I feel certain that the most important problem facing the Jews of America at this moment is Jewiah education." Moro Work Mr. Rosenwald concluded by saying, "Tell the Jews to send tlieir children to 'Cheder,* to some institution where they can ac<iuire a thorough and comprehen¬ sive Jewish education, not omitting He¬ brew.' ' Let the Jews do less philosophiz¬ ing and speculating »•» to thc future of .'\mcrican Judaisni and more actual work for Jewish education, and you won't luive to come to mc to ask .what I think of the future of Judaisni in America."
