THREE-DAY CEREMONY FOR INAUGURATION OF RABBI DRI

THANK THE DEPRESSION

In that historic report written some fifteen years ago by Robert Szold you will note the demand for the opening of the Trans-Jordan region. Many others sporadically have voiced the same demand, but none, knew how to achieve it. It took old General Depression tc bring it about. When the General came along, the Arab sheiks got down to realities. An empty pocket sometimes fills the mind. The opening, if it occurs, will be good for all concerned. The Arab landowners will get money for their land. The Jews will have ample room for settlement. And even the "poor Arabs" for whom so much crocodile tears are shed, will benefit, just as the Arabs in the Cis-Jordan region have profited from the Jewish settlement. The opening of the Trans-Jordan _ region makes the settlement of Palestine at last a thoroughly practical proposition. No longer can Palestine be said to be just a laboratory for *. the Jewish mind, or a little Jewish cultural center to issue books on Semitics, annotations on the Bible and the like. The new Zibn is to be not merely a mind discovered from the body, but a mind and body. A full grown commonwealth.

A capacity attendance is expected at the annual meeting of the Jewish Community Center and Welfare Federation, to be held in the Center auditorium on Tuesday evening, Feb. 7. This is the second annual meeting since the consolidation of the Federation, Center, and Philanthropies. Sigmund Livingston, prominent Chicago attorney, will be guest speaker for the evening. He is reputed to be a most eloquent and spell-binding orator. He is chairman of the B'nai Britb. anti-defamation league, and founded the anti-defamation league 20 years ago in Chicago. He is also a past president of the District Grand Lodge No. 6 of the B'nai Brith, and is outstanding in Chicago communal work. Having defended the rights of the Jewish people for many years, Mr. Livingston has the background necessary to deliver the colorful ad-

dresses for which he has become noted. Officers of the Federation for the Formal installation of .Eabbi TJri ensuing year win be named.
