It is interesting to note that i\Ir. Goldberg's participation in Zionist leadership dates back .several decades and is the result of energetic and constant activi¬ ty in advancing the ideal of the Jewish National Home in Pa estine. His interest, however, ha.s not been restricted to the Zion¬ ist movement. He has been ac¬ tive in every activity to ad¬ vance the Jewish Renaissance and to protect Jewish interest hei'e and abroad. For some time Mr. Coldberg was President of the Histraduth, the association to advance Hebrew and has con¬ stantly fought for strengthening of modern Hebrew education in America. His interest in the ec¬ onomic and civic problems of Jews in this country and in Eu¬ rope, i.s indicated in his election as Vice-President of the Ameri¬ can Jewish Congress, an office he held for many years and now is a member of the Admlnisira- tion.
M r. Goldberg's timely mess¬ age should be of unusual inter¬ est to every Jew in Columbus. The meeting will begin prompt¬ ly at 8:30 P. M.

PHII,.M>KIJ»HI.\ {.II'Si - A stormv meeling of the .^tock- holfiors (.f Ibe S;iturda.v Eve¬ ning iViKi hr'ard Walicr D Fuller, nianiiracliinr, and i'res¬ ideni of the Curtis Publishing Company, report thai the week¬ ly hafI renched a record circu- laJJon of .'I.a'JR.fKlO with Ihr is¬ .sue containing Milton Mayers "Ca.se Against the .lew", and that thp post had published ad¬ vertisements in a series of daily new.spapers containing an apolo¬ gy for anv wrong that was done to the Jews by the publi¬ cation of the article.
Admitting that subscrilx'rs had cancelled subscript ions, that ariverti.'-.ements had been withdrawn and that hundreds of irate readers had protested the article, Mr. Fuller stated that the editors had made "n survey of the situation and {•on.sulled with Gentile and Jew¬ ish leaders" as to what action they ought to take to explain their position. A proposal that the editors be placed imder censorship was rejectefl l)y Mr. Fuller, Archiiiald Palmer, New York lawyer, who had insiitut- '<! a suit against the pu()lica- lion on behalf of a siockholder. (old (he meeting that he would withdraw the suit if the Post would write and publish an editorial retraction of the May er article,"
Ads In Newspapers The advertisement, which appeared In a number of New York jpapers, yvnptably.^vin;,.fuU^ 'ipage¦^spate^5^^in'i¦the''^*.¦^t&oM Daily News, with 'the largest circulation in America, was a reprint of the editorial, written by Ben Hibbs, new editor who replaced We.sley Stout, for ap¬ pearance in the May Ipth is¬ sue of the Post, ft said in Part:
'It was (he hope of (lie former editor of the Post, who purcha.sed Ihe articles and placed them in the magazine several weeks before the change of editorship, that the three wituld Ih' (iinsidered as a whoU- —that tliey would affnril an in¬ telligent Ijasis for the di.scuss- Um of a ((uestion uhich. through the malice and stu|)idity of Ax¬ is   leaders,   has   caused    untold
grief in many pans of the Wfjrid, The former editor of the I'ost believed that a frank air¬ ing of the whole question would serve to clear the atmosphere in Ihis country and perhaps help prevent anti-Semitism from gaining a   foothold  here.
"l'nhappily. the third of the articles--Mr Mayer's discu.sa- ion—has heen widely misun¬ derstood. Mr. Mayer and the former editor of the Post look¬ ed upon it as a plea, directed at any .lewi.sh people who may have .strayed from the fold, to relurn to the faiih of their fath¬ ers. That a good many Jews placefl this interpretation on the article is amply demonstrated by approving letters which we have had from them. On the other hand, during the three weeks which have elapsed be- t ween the a ppea ra nee of the Mayer arljcle and the writing of this edilorial. vve have re¬ ceived .several thousand let¬ ters frnm people—both .lews and Gentiles—who .sincerely bc- ]ie\'e the arlicte wa.s intended as an attack on the .lewish peo¬ ple.
¦Xaturally we deeply regret this misunderstantling. The Post never has been, is not now and never will l)e anti-Semitic in belief or expression, it is not anti any gro\ip. We have always been ns quick to pub* lish material setting forth a noteworthy accomplisbmeni of Jews as of Gentiles. We have dQne>,,sov l?ecause,^swe>hay&ii
^ricah: Is a, g0od>-Aj(nencan^^ ^rdless of i*ace or cr^'d.'That  ^'^- this  is still  our policy will be
demonstrated during the months to come by material some of which is already in the pro- ce.ss  of  being  written.
"That one misunderstood ar¬ ticle in the Post could have caused so much anxiety in the minds of ils reader-s is a mat¬ ter of very i-eal s<hrow to the new editor. He regret.s, above all, that some hurt may have been d(me to America ut a time when national unity is needed as it never was needed hefore. He asks all Post rea<lers lo be¬ lieve that the.se wonis are writ¬ ten  in   [he deepest  sincerity,"

Leo Lania, author of "Today we are Brothers", the l)iography ot the lost generation, which was just released for publication will l)e the sjjeaker at the Bryd¬ en Road Temple Brotherhood meeting next Tuesday, April 28, at 8 p. m. at the Bryden Road Temple.
In this book we find the auto-
liii)grai)hy of a man who led a life of almost incredible adven¬ ture and who watched from be¬ hind the- scenes while F^urope perished. It is also the story of a generation liattered by two wars. b> revolution and l)y the collap.se of civilization.
¦¦If 1 scl out fo write an au¬ tobiography." l.,eo Lania said to his pidilishers "it is not because I attach world-shaking import- tmce to the stale of my soul or to 11'V experiences My aim will be to illuminate my entire epoch thru the story of one man's life. 1 shall offer an answer to the why and whither of my gen¬ eration and try to show the hid¬ den meaning r)f the events de.s- crihed thru characters who will be, not empty names, hut liv¬ ing per.sonalities. And. finaily, without sacrificing truth. I shall try lo giv my book the tension, color and humor of a novel."
And so he has written his story. U begins with Cossacks and their whips, in old Ru.ss¬ ia; it ends with a glimpse of Am¬ erica, land of freedom, as seen thru the eyes of his son. Among its highlights are Old Vienna, revolution in Budapest, Lanla (Continued on Page Eighn
