NEW YORK (WNS)—Hugo mass meetiuKa held on October 23rd in hundreds of communities throughoufc tho country served fur¬ ther to motjilize public opinion and to emphasize the concern of America with regard to the situa¬ tion in Palestine, Sponsored by the ICmergency Committee on Pales¬ tine, the-meefcinga, at which Jew¬ ish achievements of the past 20 years in Palestine' wero outlined, wore not intended to be uacd for criticism of the British Govern¬ ment, but tather for the expres¬ sion "of hnpo that the liberal tra¬ ditions, of, the British people and the humanitarian attitude mani¬ fested towards Jews on mahy occa¬ sions would continue to bo express- ied in a solution of, the Palestine problem that would permit maxi¬ mum Jewish immigrration into Pal¬ estine."
Although November 2nd is the date set fqt their mass meetings by a number of key cities in the
country including New York, Chi¬ cago and Boston, since that date is the twenty-first anniversary of the issuance , of the .Balfour Declaration, In a few temples in New York meetings were held on Sunday, Oct. 23. At Temple Beth- Bl in Brooklyn 3,000 persona, and at ¦ the Jamaica Jewish Center, Queens 700, met to protest the pro¬ posed . ban on immigration into Palestine. While before a capa¬ city audience met at Carnegio Hall, Dr. Solomon-Goldman, pres¬ ident of the Zionist Organization of America, voiced the opinion that Jews and Arabs could devel- ¦op. Palistine together "if the terr¬ orist element exploited.by foreign governments were eliminated by a strong policy on the part of Great Britain." He said further that "if Great Britain wishes to be the guardian of peace in Europe," ahe must not abandon her role of "guardian of the con¬ science of Europe.",

New Ben B'ritli Pays 10 Yeai- Dues In Advance:
.From present indications' the local B'nai B^rith membership drivo launched by the officers of Ziori Lodge and aome 44 workers last week, will reach the quota of 100 new member's by the end of next week, according: to Sanford Lakin,. chairman of the campaign. As the Chroniclo goes to press over 60 .new members have al¬ ready, heen reported signed up by tlie Bolicitors with many promis¬ ing to enlist during the coming ¦week.'. Z'^'    '."."¦
Enthusiasm in the campaign for new members. is running high withevery man on the committee doing his paii;. The new; prospects are receiving thru the mMls liter¬ ature and information on B'nai Europe and. Palestine, transfers B*rith, which in the opinion of Zion Lodge officers, should sell the Order to every individual ap¬ proached.
As an indication of how B'nai B'rith niemberahip has been ac¬ cepted by many in our Jewish community, the name of WiUinra J, .Broner, 14-14 Forest St., is out¬ standing in the annals o2 Zion ^Lodge membership drive history. Mr. Broner not only was glad to join B'nai B'rith but gave the so¬ licitor, Albert ^arris, a check iri payment of ten year's dues in ad¬ vance. Mr, Broncr*s eplemlid ges¬ ture should be an inspiration to every Jew in Columbus to unite with the greatest Jewiah frater¬ nal order. of B'nai B'rith, now celebrating its 9Bth anniversary.-
Agudath Achim Pal- e s tin e Emergency Fund May Reach
. Collections of pledges, made in response to the stirring appeal of Eabbi M.Hirachaprune, chairman of the Palestine Emergency Fund and sponsored by the local congre¬ gation Agudath Achim, are still in progresSi Due to the great en¬ thusiasm and interest displayed by-tho people towards' thia worthy effort, it was decided to extend the time of collection for another wcclt. A committee consisting of L. Melman,'; bayid Schwavta, A. W. Eobins and A. Seff, will be nt Agudath Achim ^ oiiiice .this Sun^ day morning; Oct. 30th to receive' all outstanding pledges. Chkcks may also be mailed to Rabbi M. Hirschsprung, 568 S. 18tK. St., Columbus, Ohio.
From pres„enfc indications the amount' raised at the Agudath Achim alone will reach the sum of .$600.00. Since this is not a regular drive but'a specialEmer- gency collection, tlia above amount is considerably of creditable re¬ flection on the local congregation, as compared with similar collec¬ tions tliroughout the counti-y, as listed in the Jewish Morning Journal. In order to make sure that all payments of. pledges are properly' checlced up and'account¬ ed for, and that all names of donors are correctly listed in the above Jewish daily, Kabbi Hirsch¬ sprung requests that all payments should he made l)efore the end of next week.

At this convention, Jewish; con- ditione in Europe-and Palestine, the public health nnd land prob.
Rcpresentntives from 20 cities attended, the fifth annual East Central States Regional Confer¬ ence in Louisville, Oct. 22nd and 23rd, and pledged their "communi¬ ties', belief in the effectiveness of the federation and vrelfare fund program. ,  '
The conference, sponsored t>y tbo Cotnci! of Jewish Federations and "Welfare Funds, was attended by GOO lay and professional Jew¬ ish leaders from the- states of Indiana, Kentuclcy, Michigan, Ohio, West Virgina, ond- Western Pennsylvania.
. The delegates approved a. reso¬ lution reaffirming their belief in the wisdom -of the -welfare fund plan in principle, and recommend¬ ed that all' necessary steps and measures be taken to maintain the ,HoHdarity and unity built up and and obtained in the various cities through community funds and their belief that fnnds for common causes can and shoiild bo Taised most effectively through federa* tions and welfare - funds, and re¬ solved that nothing should be done to interefere with the continu- iincfe of thia program.

This resolution was taken after hearing Edgar J. Kaufmann, prominent Pittsburgh meitchant, make an appeal to the local com¬ munities for support of the new. organization. In describing the or¬ ganization of the new (council, Mr. Kaufmann pointed, out that the agency was not intended'to de¬ stroy the independence of any of its Jour constituent ;groijps, but was a mechanism designed to pro¬ mote a more unified, .democratic elfort in a coordinated, fashion.
Max-Lerner, professor of poli¬ tical science at Williams College, and former editor of the NA¬ TION, opened the conference Saturday night, Oct. 22nd, when he pointed out, that Jewiah sur¬ vival was fundamentally dep,en- dent upon the development and spread (jf real principles of liber¬ al democracy. Ha asserted that this had already been eloquently indicated hy *••« recent events in Europe and that the   spread   bf
Fascism could be checked only by .participation nf tho .Tpw.-? in the light for democratic prin¬ ciples. .
' German Refugees

Weil of Cincinnati and Miss Cecilia Eacofsky, Director of tha National Coordinating Committco for Aid to Refugees and Immi¬ grants Coming from Germany. It was pointed out by Miss Eazofsky that no refugees havo become pub¬ lic charges, but that all of them have real assets which benefit tho communities which absorb them.
The problems of vocational ad¬ justment of Jewish youth were considered at a.special group meet¬ ing of the conference and the com.' munitiea comprising tho East Cen¬ tral States Regional Confeienca wero urged to take steps to co¬ operate existing facilities and de¬ velop new facilities for moetintt guidance problems and for re¬ directing occupational training for Jewish youth. Special emp- phasis was placed upon the devel¬ opment of . placement service not only for Jewish youth but also for Jews who. aro facing discrimina¬ tion in finding employment.
In a session presided over by Robert' Senior of Cincinnati, the possibilities of devolophig cen¬ tralized and coordinated systemB of Jewish education were discusised with particular emphasis upon tha methods which local communities can employ in developing such flystems.    '
At the luncheon session of the conference held Sunday noon,.
