It is roniembered by those who have studied 'the anti-Semitic movement that swe])t. l^urope and was brou<!;ht to this country,! follbwiiig the fall of the feudal •dynastie's of Germany, Austria and Russia, that Henry Ford's "interna¬ tional" organ published the "cha'rge" in May, ,1020, ihat the collapse of'the Ger¬ man monarchy was planned by Jewii so that Jews "could settle in places of con¬ trol above the Nations."

l)ut the visiqnlcss person, the unseeing person. The' most hopelessly impractical of students is the ono who is without ideals, for he imagines that whatever is. dught to be, that whatc.ver has been, shall for all time remain, and he resents being roused from the lethargy of his worship of the god of things as they ought to be. It is bet¬ ter, then, that the student who is an idealist and who is impractical than the student without ideals who is too -prac¬ tical, who is ready to practice anything. "It is a little thing to hold' one's ideal as long as one is untempted and Unas- sailed, It is everything to hold fast, to one's ideals when passing through the fires of the world's tcmptationsi and perils," the Rabbi concluded. ; The officers of the Junior Council are confident that the enthusiasm and ap¬ preciation which was prevalent among the student body arid members of the Junior Council at these services \vill once for all establish the long hoped for "onct a month Junior Jewrv serv¬ ices."

til discussing the subject further, Zangwill  said;
"The American immigration laws, in mv opinion, seem to be a complete be- tra)al of the great American ideal. They are economically pernicious and are ethically unjust. They are couched in a form so cumbrous and impracticable that they involve incalculable-cruelty.'*
Losing High  Ideals.
The novelist-philosopher holds, how- ex er, that immigration laws constitute -' only one indication of the general re¬ cession from the high ideals of freedom and liberty that formerly characterized America.
' "America," he continued, "instead of holding fast to the faith and spiritual \ioioii of hcr founders, is hardening into a nationalism, all the narrower for her prodigious ph\.'jical breadth, and is fall¬ ing back-for the solution of hcr prob¬ lems upon the barbarous old methods • who's*; futility has already been proved in Europe."
Zangwill believes that the fears of re- strictiv& measHfOjS againsf the Jews in the United States are '^^e'll founded. He ppinted to leccnt developments which indicate that there-is a movement afoot to bar Jews fi;oin American universities. He added ¦'
"In New York, as in Budapest, the ATcary old cycle of inter-racial friction ' IS asserting-, itself. It is'a group conflict, jor there is no individual afniigqsity. The Jews, by dariu'jf" to .inaintdin' a group existence, have aroused the hostil¬ ity of the world.

PALESTINE SAFE SAYS PETER J. SCHWEITZER
Keren Hayesod Leader Returning from Europe Says Road is Clear
for Rebuilding of Jewish Homeland — Urges American
Jews to Make Good tliese Expectations
NEW YORK. —There is absolutely no ground for the fear expressed by Jevvish friends and the hope expressed by Jewish enemies that the position of Jewish prospects in Palestine will in any way be affected by the recent hap¬ penings in Turkey,. is fhe opinion of Peter J. Schweitzer, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Pales¬ tine Foundation Fund in America, who returned last week to New York after an extended stay in various coun¬ tries of Europe. Mr. Schweitzer was present at the Annual Conference of the World Zionist Organization in Carlsbad, where he was a representative of the Zionist Organization of America. In his capacity as member of the Economic and Financial Council of the Zionist Organization he conferred with the other members with regard to the Palestine budget and the general work for the Keren "Hayesod.
"During the past few weeks," said Mr. Schweitzer, "Europe has.been living un¬ der the cloud of the threat of another war, Jn tomnion. with the rest of the people of Europe, and' even more than the I'est, the Jews were under very great
apprehensions, and considerable talk was indulged in in various quarters, espe¬ cially ill those hostile to Jewish and British interests, tbat Great Britain would be compelled to make one con¬ cession after another to the victorious Turks, backed as they are by the French Government, and that before long the question of the status of Palestine would come up, and that the British would be forced to yield this also to the Turkish nationalists. On the face of it this talk is utterly absurd and yet it has been 'sufficient to arouse fears among some of our people.
Confers With Leading Stateamen
"I have had the opportunity, in the course of my stay in England and France, to confer with some of the leading statesmen and with most of the leaders of the Jewish people and of the Zionist movement. In all well-in¬ formed quarters the idea of a'change in the status of Palestine, is received with amused surprise. They point out that whatever concessions the British Gov¬ ernment has made to the Turks have in reality been made to France, owing to. (Concluded on page 4.) '
as a matter of opportunism or con¬ venience, but on grounds of principle. It was recogniJicd that the first women rabbis will have grave obstacles to face before they will be able to coiTvince con¬ gregations of Jewry of their fitness for the sacred task. It Was felt, on the other hand, that they will have to make great personal sacrifices for such a career, as they will probably be unable to marry and still carry out the exact¬ ing public duties of the ministry. But these points will have to be solved eventually by the first women who dare to break the tradition sufficiently to en¬ ter the rabbinical field. The rabbis did not feel called^upon to solve.questions such as these.
.Against the ordination of women rab¬ bis stand two grave objections—the practice of Jewry in the past and the feeling of the majority of world Jewry at present. Jewish tradition has never permitted one to lead wha was not at the same time compelled to carry out personally the ordinances of the law. And, as women wer« exempt from the obligations of public worship, they could not act as reader of the ijrayers or of the Torah, nor could thqy even work as Sofer, or. copyist of the law. Exempt from inany.of the.provisions of the law in other fields, they .could not act as Dayaii pr judge. Thus the two chief duties .of orthodox religious leaders were denied them. . - .'

sphere is to be properly regulated and supervised    by   the    superior    sex.    In niodern life woman regulates her own life just as much as man regulates his— under the control  of the same natural and human laws.    One profession after another has opened its doors to women, often    grudgingly    and    nngraciou.sly. First admitted under protest as teachers, women did so well that they now al¬ most   monopolize  the  teaching  profes¬ sion    in     elementary    and    secondary schools.   At first admitted on sufferance as nurses, they finally entered the medi¬ cal profession and have succeeded there as well.   There was a day, not so long ago,  when  wonien  writers  and. artists were unheard of; and a .century or two before that actresses were not tolerated, and women's parts on the stage were taken  by boys.    In  social  work, as a newer profession, the restrictions of the older callings were never fully hi force, so that social work has giveii their op¬ portunity to some of the leading women in the world today, such as Jane Ad- dams, Frances Taussig, or Lillian Wakl. Even the ministry has been opened to women in many of the liberal Christian denominations, in which the minister is solely a preacher and teacher, although in none of the more traditional churches where "lie acts as priest to conduct the mass or forgive the sins of the people. ' The case of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw is significant in this connection.    After graduating from a theological seminary (Continued on page fl)      '   " ,
MOSLEMS ORGANIZE AGAINST JEWS
Moslem-Christian  Association  Organizes   Fight   Against  Jews —
Delegations Coming Here to Raise Money — Association of
Women and Youhg Men to Conduct Propaganda
JERUSALEM (J. C. B.)—At the first sitting of the Executive of the Moslem-Christian Organization which took place ill Jerusalem, the following resolutions were passed:
To call the members of the Executive to a meeting at the beginning of every month.
In accordance with the Congress reso¬ lution at Nablus to boycott the elections, the Executive has issued a manifesto to the Arab people in which the reasons are set forth which urge the Executive to take this step.
The Executive discussed means to be taken in the villages in <)rder to carry this resolution into force. It finds that the desire is general amongst the vil¬ lagers not. to take part in the elections.
In consideration of the fatit that large numbers of letters have been received from various places inviting the mem¬ bers of the 'London delegation to visit them the executive has decided that the Delegation shall tour the villages and cities which have not yet 'been visited.
The Executive voted a budget for. the
to prepare the»ground for Jhe .formation of   an   agricultural   bank.    A   tax   was .-' fixed for villages and cities,     . •    '       *-
It  was  decided  to  arrange  to  print _^ stamps   at   once   with   pictures   of   the" country, fhe incotrie from which will be devoted to national work; the arrange-.' liieyt was put into the hands of Shibley' Jamal and Jamal Husseini.   It was de- " cidcd also to print thousands of post- ¦ cards with pictures of the London Dele^i gates, to be sold at 3 piastres, the income to be used for national purposes.  .
The   Executive   is   to  have   a  joint meeting with the principal Arab traders in   Jerusalem   and   will   consider   with them   the  question  of  the boycott  on Jewish merchants.    (That is to say on sales but not on purchases.)  All present ', agreed to the necessity of this step and it W4S decided to call a meeting of the nierbhants of all classes and to choose a committee which would concern itself with the questions of the boycott and ' attitude of the Arab tradesmen in this ' matter.    It was also  decided tp  form i
