RECENTLY      CELEBRATED
HIS 79lh MUTHDAY
ANNIVERSARY
At the big Zionist Mass Meeting held Tuesday evening, February J8th, at the Southern Hotel, Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, spoke on thc unbroken coutiimity of the Zionist Movement ami decli\rcd that iV is constantly gaining more strciigtli and vigor in every section of the civilized world.
"Zionism is not an artificial .ittempt.to reverse the course of history," said Mr. Lipsky. "It is a fundamental mass emotion which hag i>ersisted throughout thc cen¬ turies fermenting beneath thc surface until it found expression in thc Zionist mo\e- mejit. The spiritual power of Zionism has bceii a creative force within the Jewish people for twenty centuries. The desire of the Jewish people to be itSelf, not in thc individual sense alone, but as a people, as a nation, never ceased from the moment tbe Jewisli political state came to an end. Wherever'Jews migrated they carried with them what we call the 'portable' Jewish State—The Bible, thc Talmud, the , Liturgy—even the Hebrew Language, which Incvcr ceased to be the national lan¬ guage of thc Jewish-i>eople. for it was associated with its most sacred nieriiories." JewiBh Achievements
The speaker then proceeded to tell of .the Jewisii achievements in Palestine. He siwke in i>art as follows:—"The, story of Jewish achievements In the Holy Land since the Balfour Declaration and, more particularly since the Mandate, is an epic of modern history. Desolate and neglected for centiiries, the country has again been brought under the civilizing touch of ICO.flOO sturdy, emancipated Jews whose en¬ ergy and devotion, whose self-sacrifice and attachment to the soil, have, given new life to a country that only ten years ago had been in danger of falling into complete decay. Malaria-breeding swamps "have been dried out by the toil of Jewish hands; waste stretches of land reclaimed; a school system deveIoi>cd and institutions of learning established that would be a credit to any nation; the ancient Hehrew tongue reviled, hospitals and all forms of social improvements introduced; thc Val¬ ley of Eadraelon, a stretch of arid, uncultivated land, is being transformed into a blossoming garden dotted with thriving Jewish villages; the ancient city of Jeru¬ salem ii surrounded by modern Jewish suburbs; Tel-Aviv, the only completely Jewish city in the world, has become a prosperous town of 45,000 inhabit¬ ant-;, whereas twcntyTfive years ago it was a sand-dune; electric and water power for irrigation is now reaching out to almost every cttrncr of the country. ' In brief, wealth, jtrosperity, culture, civilization, infinite sacrifice to an idea—all these have heen brought into Palestine by the liew Jewish settlers."
Mr. Lipsky (hen went on to explain, that the Arabs who are responsible for the recent disturbances arc aiiNious to nullify all these constructive achievements. "I want to impress my auditors this evening," he said, "with the salient fact that all that is good and wholesome iiii the Holy Land has been introduced and. estab¬ lished by the Jewish settlers. They have come there with the spirit of peace in their hearts. They harbored no ill-feeling towards their Arab neighbors. They did not propose to make life miserable for these benighted people. In thc spirit of good fellowship, they sought to assist the natives in rebuilding and modernizing the land that has been so terribly neglected." .   . '
SERVICES AT THE BRY¬ DEN ROAD TEMPLE SUNDAY MORNING
Recent
A good portion of Mr! Lipsky's ad¬ dress was devoted to an explanation of recent riots in Palestine. He laid the entire blame upon the agitatitJn sponsored by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and his cohorts. These men circulated false and malicious rumors regarding Jewish aims and aspirations. They aroused the ignorant niasses by their vicious' tirades against the Jews and sought particularly lo discrcc'it thc work of the Zionists in (he Holy Land.
Cnntintiing, Mr. Lipsky declared that thc historic claim to Palestine of the Jevkish people has "fieen' recognized by fifty-oiit luitions of the world, including our own. Thc Jew's historic right to Palcstuie, he painted out, is based on the recognition of the ¦ universally acknowl¬ edged fact, that if Palestine holds any place or has any cultural distinction in the history of the world, it is because of VV hat the Jewish people have Wrought there.
"But the historic right of the Jewish people to Palestine,*' he pointed out.'Im¬ plies no violation of the rights of the Arab inl^itants of the country. These riglits arc safeguarded in the Balfour Declaration and thc Palestine mandate. Far from being injured, thc Arabs have profited greatly by the Jewish recon- .^slruction work in Palestine. Every stu¬ dent of Palestinian history knows under what terrible conditions the Arabs have lived there. Crushed for centuries un¬ der the heel of the Turkish Tax Collector the felahcen, not the absentee landlord, has been reduced to a state of servitude from which he is now gradually ^'merg¬ ing through the active cooperation and civilizing influence of the new Jewish settlers.
Ruthless Exploiters "It is precisely against this regenera¬ tion," pointed out Mr, Lipsky, "that the Anti-Zionist Arab Executive, largely composed of ruthless exploiters of the peasants and malevolent agitators, struggling. It is natural. Their hegem¬ ony is Ihrealencd; a servile ignorant peasantry is far better material for ex- pkiitation than an enlightened conscious peasantry. Except for the leaders of the Anti-Zionist Arab Executive and the arch enemy of the peace of the country, the Grand Mufti nf Jerusalem, the rela¬ tions between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine have been peaceful and anii- cable. During the last ten years of. Jew¬ ish work in Palestine, Arab-Jewish l^rtncrships have been formed; jmnt conunercial interests have been created; (Continued on page 3)
I. B. Jashenosky

"Pop" Jashenosky is known far and wide as a genuine lover of his fellow¬ men. His work on behalf of the. men incarcerated behind the walls of the Ohio Penitentiary has often been extolled.

In a statement made by Edwin J. Schanfarber on the occasion'of Mr. Ja¬ shenosky's, birthday he said, "Brother Jashenosky has never labored for him: self alone., He has always striven to be helpful to others and to contribute to their happiness. I know of no man who combines in his general make-up any fiiiet qualities than those, possessed, by him^;,"'
"I know I am expressing the feelings and sentiments of all Columbus Jewry when I hope and pray that God will Sparc Pop Jashenosky to us for niany years to come."

have set to music, is the outstanding musical selection of thc choir."
