m?    ^"vernment   Issues While Paper On Wailing Wall Incident
^%tlw ^i^V^Q"" At Holy Site Was Infringed Upon By Atonement Day Wor¬ shippers
WILL MAINTAIN .lEWISH
RIGHT OF ACCESS
LONDON.-Asscfiing that thc status quo, as established under thc Tl^rkiBh regime, w.ns infringed by tho Jewish wor¬ shippers at thc jEwisI, Holy Site on Sep- cmber 2), the Day of Atonement, the White Paper of the British Government concerning the Wailing Wall incident, made public tod.iy, contains a statement ot thc facts and a declaration that the admmistratioii ot Palestine intends to manilain the established Jewish right of access to the Holy Site.
The White Paper, written by Col. Leopold H. Amery, Secretary of State for the Colonies, refers to the com¬ munique of the Palestine Government dated (he 20th of September and ex¬ plains that thc intervention of the police was caused, as thc Jewish action con¬ stituted an infraction of the status quo of the Wall. The paper further ex¬ plains the Jewish rights to the Wall dur¬ ing the Turkish regime, underlining thc ruling of 1012 prohibiting Jews to erect a screen on thc wall pavement. The White Paper emphasizes this year's in¬ novations at thd Wall on Yom Kippur were made thc cause of the complaints of the llufti in charge ol the Wakf (Mo.slcm religious iproperty) to the Pal¬ estine Government necessitating immedi¬ ate action, according to the practice not to create precedent contradictory lo the status quo the Palestine government is obliged to maintain under the terms of the mandate.
Concerning the complaint that no Jew was among the police executing the order, this happened because, upon the urgent request ot the Chief Rabbinate, all Jew¬ ish poliet3men had been released from service for the Yom Kippur holiday, In future, steps will be taken insuring a Jewish officer's presence at thc Wall on all such occasions. The further, com¬ plaint 'that tlie" Palestine' government should have consulted Jewish authori¬ ties before taking action, is not substan¬ tiated, because it the infringement of the status quo was committed with the knowledge of these authorities, they were aware of the possible consequences from the experience on Yom Kippur, 1925. If, however, the Jewish 'authorities were ig¬ norant of thc innovations introduced, they cannot reasonably expect the Palestine government's countenancing the unau¬ thorized act of subordinates.
The British Government regards it as their duty and have the intention to maintain the established Jewish right of access to the pavement in front of the Wall for the purposes of devotion. They are also entitled to bring 'appurtenances as permitted under the Turkish regime. It is inconsistent, however, with the du¬ ties of the Mandate, to endeavor to com¬ pel the Aloslcm owners to accord ex¬ tended privileges.
Thc chances are also lessened for a mutual arrangement between Jews and Moslems becau'ie public opinion in 'Palestine has removed the incident from the religious orbit into a poIiticBl and racial question, which has intensi¬ fied the difficulties. Nevertheless, the Palestine Government has approached the Zionist Executive, as well as the ^Moslem Council, suggesting that they agfee on a mutual protocol regulating the conduct of services in a manner satisfactory to the normal liturgical requirements without prejudice to the legal rights of the Moslems. In this connection the government has also instructed the senior officer to feel out the ground with both parties as to whether an arrangement is possible which, if achieved, the British Govern¬ ment would cordially welcome as pre¬ venting a recurrence of the unfortu¬ nate incident, tlie White Paper declared.

A grej^t step forward has been taken toward the establisliinertt of the en¬ larged Jewish Agency for Palestine by the appointment of a Committee of Seven, that is to select the American non-2ioniiit members who are to serve on the Agency. This body, it will be jj^ljledjjs the orKawat|o«,jhat^ in .ad:" cordaiicc with the provisrons of the man¬ date for Palestine held by the British" Government, is to contintie the upbuilding of Palestine in behalf of the entire Jewish people. Pur'iiiant to the resolu¬ tion adopted at thc Non-Zionist Con¬ ference recently held in New York, this Committee of Seven has the power to designate the American non-Zipnist mem¬ bership on the Ageijcy.   While this in a
senbc will be a minority representation, nevertheless due to the great part played by Jews in this country during the lasf decade in all reconstructive and relief efforts, the American personnel of this Body will undoubtedly play an important pftrt in formulating the policies and in jilanning the work of the Jewish Agency. I^^lffs* Committee-'..o£- ^i^vcn, recently*-ap¬ pointed ,by Mr. Louis Marshall there¬ fore actually represents a most authori¬ tative group ill the 1 organization that is to undertake the upbuilding of Palestine. It was expected that Mr. Marshall would select for member.';hip on this commit¬ tee the most outstanding leaders from among the non-Zioiiists, and the ap¬ pointments that have just been announced fully realize these expectations.
Coiumbus, Ohio Is the First City With Quota
Above 350,000 J® to Complete Payments to
The United Jewish Campaign
Buckeye Capital Sends In Final Remittance To Treasury Six
Months Before Due—^More Committees Added To 100% Paid
Up Column—Amon^ Other Communities That Have
Reached Their 100% Mark During The Last
Several Weeks Are Harrisburg^ Poughkeep-
sie, Pontiac, and Rome, Georgia
NEW YORK.—Columbus, Ohio, has earned the proitd distinction of being the first city in the United States with a quota of over $iO,000 to complete its final payments to the United Jewish Cam- paiijn. Having pledged $55,100 to thc campaign in May, 1R26, fin^il payments fall due in May, l!)2f). However, Co¬ lumbus lifts remitted to Zone Chairman, Mr. Edward J. Goodman, a check com¬ pletely redeeming its pledge fully six months in advance.
This extraordinary response lo thc pica made by the National Chairman of the United Jewish Campaign, Mr. David A.. Brown, and by other leaders of the reconstruction movement overseas, to ad¬ vance the amounts due in order to meet the present emergency, is mostly thc re¬ sult of thc efforts of thc leaders of the Columbus campaign—among them, E. J. Schanfarbcr, President; L. J. Goodnran, First Vice-President; and Simon Laza¬ rus, Treasurer. With thc critical situa¬ tion now existing in Russia, Bessarabia, and other countries, and with the national leaders appealing to the entire country for the speedy redemption of its pledges, the action of the oflficer^ of the Colum¬ bus C-ampaign has made that community stand out as an inspiration to the other large cities throughout the country which, it is expected will quickly follow the example of Columbus.        ,
The achievement of thc city of Co¬ lumbus has also helped place the entire Cohimbu*; or Central Ohio Zone in the class of those statci that have reached the highest percentage of paid-up pledges. Owing to the work of Mr. Edward J. Goodman, Zone Chairman, and Mr. Si¬ mon Lazarus, Zone Treasurer, and other leaders, the Columbus Zone has already to it-; credit paid-up pledges amounting to 75% of its total pledge of over $13fl,- 000
To the number of smaller communities that have so far turned in 100% pay¬ ments, the community of Plattsburg, New York, was recently added, its pledge of $2,120 having been remitted in full to the treasury. Mr. Julius Mendelsohn is the chairman, and Mr. Henry Scheler the Treasurer of the Platfsburg cam¬ paign.
Among other communities that have reached their 100% mark during the last several weeks are Harrisburg, Pennsyl¬ vania, which has paid in $26,000 on a total pledge of $25,000; Pontiac, Michi¬ gan, which pledged and paid $3,613; Poughkeepsie, New York, which has paid its full pledge of $7,610; Statesvillc, North Carolina, which pledged and paid $2,000; Rome, Georgia, which pledged and paid 1-2,283: and Greenwich, Con¬ necticut, which paid in full its pledge of $2,000.
