Jerusalem (JTA)--The Palestine Government announced today that it will not issue an immigration schedule for the period from October, 1940, to March, 1941, because more than 8,000 certificates under' the previous sixmonth quota had not yet been used as » result of travel difficulties and the impossibility of reaching Palestine during the schedule period.

In a statement explaining its action, the Government said many holders of certificates were unable to bring capital to Palestine and that unemployment was now a serious pre-occupation ot the Government, However, the Government is allowing a limited number of replacement ' certificates for immigrants able to leave for Palestine within the next eiic months.

Francis P. Mathews, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, who will extend greetings on behalf of this national organization, said: "Your program of Americanism is of especial importance aisd value at t h i s particular time.

Your achievements in the fields of education and social welfare have been outstanding, &md are recognised by a l l as a, notable contribution to t h e upbuilding and fnunproveinent of our common country."

With unfaltering zeal, your organization has promoted the development of good will among all elements of our population, and, because of these well known virtues, your society holds a high place in the esteem of all true Americans."

Outstanding Affair Nothing has been left undone, which could be done, to make this tbe outstanding convention of B'nai B'rith history, according to the plans announced by the General Chairman, Harry Malashock.

As the home of the national president, Omaha is extending every effort to make this event one of the outstanding meetings of all time, Mr. Malashock said.

From the time of arrival of the hundreds of delegates and visitors, every phase of their comfort and entertainment has been arranged for. An army of waiters, trained in precision, will serve a banquet for hundreds, at which Eddie Cantor w i l l be principal speaker, and President Monsky, toastmaster. Out - of-door-lnltiation of a class of several hundred candidates, will climax a day at the Highland Country Club, to be followed by a barbecue supper and dance, Sunday. All guests will participate in all entertainment and social functions.

Visitors will have an opportunity to see Omaha's famous Boys' Town, where the motion picture starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney was filmed. At Boys' Town, Father Flanagan, head and founder, will personally be host to the visitors, many of whom will see for the first time the many new buildings added to the institution as a result of the national interest created by the movie. The Boys' Town choir, featured in the movie, and their band will furnish entertainment.

"The tolerance and understanding that we practice within our own community of Boys Town has long been the principle of your own organization. We are happy to Join with you in promoting understanding, fellowship a n d good will between all faiths and creeds, and will welcome B'nai B'rith guests and visitors with the same spirit that symbolizes both of our undertakings." Rev. E. J. Flanagan of Boya' Town, has

Visitors will be transported for the evening to Nebraska's mythial Kingdom of Quivera, t h e realm of Ak-Sar-Ben, Nebraska's famed civic organization, which annually presents the Den Show at •which they will be guests. Initiation rites into this mystic order w i l l be administered upon certain distinguished guests of the B'nai B'rith. Informal entertainment and refreshments will conclude the evening at convention headquarters.

Eddie Cantor, staunch exponent of Jewish idealogy, and who has long been an ardent member of B'nai B'rith, and America's most loved comedian of stage, screen and radio, arrives Tuesday morning, to be present at the convention banquet which climaxes tbe entire convention program.

Newly elected officers of the District will be Installed at the conclusion of the banquet program.

New York (JTA) — The American Jewish Congress Governing Council has voted ucanimously to disband the Youth Division and name a committee to reconstitute it "along lines which would conform to the policies and program" of the A. J. C. The action was taken, stated Chairman Carl Sherman of the A. J. C. Administrative Committee, b e c a u s e the Youth Division had refused to withdraw from the American Congress and endorse the A. J. C.'s stand supporting aid to the Allies short of war.

Resisting dissolution of the Youth Division, Executive Secretary Samuel Freedman, who until June 14 had been on the A. J. C. payroll, called an "emergency conference" at the Hotel Center for Tuesday evening. In a circular letter to 1 e a d e rs of the Youth Division, Freedman termed the dissolution "a Blitzkrieg against t h e democratic rights'* and a "high-handed fasclstic decree."

or a repetition ©f the horrible life they thought they had escaped.

Paris has been the citadel of the oppressed for generations. It has been refuge to untold thousands ttoese past twenty-five years. But while nations csn be conquered, the spirits of a people cannot be trampled ruthlessly underfoot. German herself exemplifies what happens when a people set out to regain their national self-respect — as France had done after its defeat in 1S70.

Liberty is in chains, one more, but the desire for liberty remains uneocquered and though a people may give lip-service to a tyrant they cherish within themselves the hope that someday they may regain freedom unwillingly surrendered.

Complacency toward Nazi and Fascist activities In this country can no longer be countenanced. In the interests of national survival it Is imperative that steps be taken to bring under control the activities or Hitlerite agents so teat this country is not subjected to the shame of Europe. All Americans have attempted to be tolerant, but tolerance bas merely evoked contempt and b&s been Inter- preted as weakness.

When Nazi agitation first became apparent in the United States, it was fashionable to quote Voltaire to the effect that we may not be in agreement with the views of the Nazis but we will fight for their right to express themselves. This was the American way — expression rather than supression. ' Not one single act to date has curtailed the liberties of the Nazis in this country. They still meet, openly flaunt their enmity, and seek to enlist Americans in their campaign of hate. Even with the dangers of Europe brought dramatically home .to us, America has continued to be lenient.

This country can no longer afford such tolerance. We have seen the tactics of the Fifth Column in Denmark, Holland, Norway, Belgium — and there are authorities who say also in France.

With the evidence so conclusive, we cannot look on so complacently. Not only are our liberties at etake, but our lives as well, and it will be no compromise with principle to fight the Nazis here.

Not even the Nazis themselves any longer attempt to hide their intentions toward America. .Victories in Europe have made them reckless. The disclosures of the Uruguayan government have awakened South Americans from their traditional languor. Uruguay, one of 'the few militant democracies in the South, has been serious'threatened by what was almost a successful 'coup d'etat' of Its German and Fascist elements.

Likewise in Mexico there is a growing danger of Internal trouble. Careful investigation has revealed a wealth of evidence as to the activities of Nazis and Communists. Whether this evidence will be utilized to strengthen the country remains to be seen. Whether this country uses the facts that it so well knows also remains to be seen. So ' far, activity has been confined to the harassing of aliens and an innocuous group of religious fanatics.

As important to this country as billions for armaments, is a thorough handling of subversive groups in our midst.

Liberty in Chains V:

•On the famed Boston "Common" s t a n d s a Statue to the great Abolitionist leader Wendell Philips, and on this monument is inscribed the Quotation, "whether in chains or in laurels, Liberty knows nothing but victories." "Liberty" was crowned with laurels in Paris and in the years that followed the French Revolution carried its blessings, temporarily to be sure,- to the rest of Europe.

Today Liberty in Europe is in chains. Paris, sanctified by the blood of martyrs in the cause of liberty, comes under the heel of a tyrant more brutal than those which preceded the Revolution.

To discuss the terms of the Armistice step by step is impossible in this space, but again it must be said the Jews of the world have suffered a blow that only centuries can repair. 450,000 Jews live In France, the first of Europe's Jewa to have received civil rights, the Jews who have longest enjoyed the blessings of liberty.

42,000 of these Jews are refugees from the Reich and under the terms of the surrender, they will be handed back to Germany. This can mean only death or torture for those who -are returned

Jewish Veterans Honor J. B. Cohant New York (WNS)—J a m e s Bryant Conast,, president of Harvard University, was cited as America's outstanding "exponent ©f the principles and practices of tolerance and good will," by the Jewish War Veterans of the United States; in & ceremony here at -whiclJ he received the first annual "Jewish Veterans Award for American Leadership."

On the heels of the Germany victory in France, Rumania has been quick to ,get on the totalitarian band-wagon, and in a sweeping decree has instituted a regime more severely totalitarian than the German model. Considering that only a few weeks ago there was reason to believe conditions in Rumania would improve, it is extremely discouraging now to hear of the most recent action, which will further impoverish the Jewish community.

A government party has been instituted and no one who is not admitted during the next two months will be permitted to continue as an executive in any commercial on industrial* enterprise or to hold public office. Although Jews have not been specifically mentioned in the decree, the fact that the Iron Guard is to play a dominant role precludes the Jews from any participation in whatever blessing the new regime may bring.

It is believed in London that while King Carol will, attempt to maintain the present situation as best he can, that under the economic pressure of Berlin, he will be forced to capitulate to the demands of the Iron Guardists.

At this stage, it is impossible to make any prophecies about developments in Rumania. The country is barased on two sides — Germany and Russia. In all likelihood it will not be long before Russia attempts to grab the lost province of Bessarabia. Germany will relentlessly continue her economic pressure upon the country since Rumania can supply her with not only the much-needed oil but wheat which will perhaps be in greater demand.

As the stock of the allies goes into decline, other smaller nations will leave their orbit. It is most unfortunate, but the world is becoming steeled against misfortune.

The Crisis in Zionism Internecine s t r i f e in the Zionist movement, vaguely hinted at for sometime now, has unashamedly broken into the open. Regardless of the merits of the contending parties, the "only result will be complete disillusionment on the part of the ardent supporters and sympathizers.

Organizations of all sort are under obligation to clean house on occasion, but to drag Zionism through the mire of petty politics Is nothing short of blasphemy. Zionism as a people's ideal has been responsible for one ot the most amazing revivals in history. But as a political .movement It is endangering everything that has been accomplished.

For sometime now the Zionist movement has been split into component groups, each with it3 special interest — Labor, Mizrachi, Revisionists, etc. To a certain extent there Is some justification for these divisions, and in the larger issues there has been considerable co-operation.

But of late further division has become apt parent and these new splits can be considered as nothing but attempts at promoting sefr-interest.

One of the great failures of European democracy was the inability of the individuals of different political philosophies to find common ground and to compromise on unimportant issues. Sometimes this compromise —' which Is very characteristic of the American party system — has been considered a violation of principles; but as a result, definite gains have been made. On the other, hand where there has been stubbornness and intolerance, as in the German democracy, the result was chaos.

This latter is what is happening to the Zionist movement in America. And it is so important that at this time Zionist should be strengthening itself in preparation for what may be one of the cruelest blows in its history. Fortunately Zionism is stronger than the individuals who compromise its leaflership, but it can be seriously hampered by petty politics. The leaders owe a greater debt to the movement and the membership than to themselves.

Edgar H. Burman, national commander, made the presentation on behalf- of his organization, before civic leaders and veterans.

Roger W. Straus, co-chairman of the National Conference ' of Christians and Jews, and William Berruan, national field secretary of the Jewish War Veterans, were the principal speakers.

The citation to Dr. C o n a n t read: "By bis courageous devotion to the cause of humanity arid intellectual freedom, he has

Gems of the Bible and Talmud

By Dr. Pfeillp Sfewr BIBLE! The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their goings. They have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

Therefore is justice far from us. Neither doth righteousness overtake us; we look for light, but behold darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

We grope for the w a l l like blind; yea, as they that have no eyes do we grope. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight, we are In dark places like the dead.

And nations shall walk at thy light, and kings at the brightness of thy rising.

TALMUD Rabbi Jochanan said: "He to whom his father bequeathed too much money and desires to get rid of it quickly, he shall dress himself in expensive linens, shall use eut glass utensils, and shall hire laborers and leave t h e m without superintending."

Rabbi Isaac said: "A man shall always divide his money in three parts. One-third he shall invest in real estate; one-third in business, and the balance he shall have on hand ready f o r quick profitable transactions."

Rabbi Jochanan said: "Cheating in words is more rigorous than cheating in money, because money can be returned but annoyance of words cannot."

Rabbi Chelba said: "One should always be careful to honor his wife; for the blessing in the house usually comes for the sake of the wife; and if thy wife is little, bow thyself and listen to her advice."

Rabbi Nathan says: "Do not reproach thy neighbor with a fault which is also thine own."

And tills is what people say: "To him who has bad a hanged one in his family, do not even mention 'hang up a fish.' "

countries, made BO little impress on American literature probably has various explanations, true or false. TiAn reader ventures to submit tw6. First, that few American Jews have dredged up from their own experience, as iadividaals ©r as members ef an historic people, the solid substance on which great -work is bttiit.

EdBa Ferber and Myron Erinig have had partial successes because they tried to intertwine themselves with tfcie folk tales of the American people. But most of the .others h&ye drifted from one literary fad to another.

Men like Dreiser or Hemingway or Faulkner or Aadersoa or Dos Passes i%ve dealt with realities bound up1 ith their racial or regional memories or with the history of the people among whom they lived and whom they loved.

Robert Nathan writes perhaps the most polished prose in America. But it is cold and barren.

There is no passion and no conviction in his writing. Even in his 'The Road of Ages," which had the possbiilities of a devastating satire on Jewish life, his fire failed to spark.

Jewish writers, t h e n , have, in the main, steered far away from the sources—their own people—^which might have provided them with their surest foothold.

A second possible explanation is the unwillingness of Jews to en-

before Italy entered the war and that sea was closed to American shipping, a handsome, grey-haired American woman came ashore - andthereby deprived New York •hip news reporters of a g o o d story.

•* She was Mrs. Rose Jacobs, American member of the Jerusalem executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, returning from a two-month trip to the Holy Land.

Braving the ever-present danger of outbreak of war, she had gone to Palestine in February to attend to her duties. It was only by chance that she left before the conflict, cut the Holy Land off from America.

• Back In her New YorTc home, describing what 8lie had seen during her visit, Mrs. Jacobs depicted the state of affairs in the Jewish National Home as having a bright and dark side. The bright side was t h e comparatively serene present, the dark one, the uncertain future. „ "Up to the time I left - - and you, must remember that was a month ago," she said, "conditions .Were really pretty good. There .was an atmosphere of liveliness and prosperity. English and Australian troops kept the cafes busy, the hotels were full,' people seemed to have money to spend.

Land! Sales "The Government relief grant, for which Plnchas Rutenberg was largely* responsible, bad done a great deal to help the citrus growers. In spite of the land sale restrictions, the Jewish National Fund was busy trying to buy land In unrestricted areas and complete purchases which bad been started long ago. ' "Practically all the Americans In the country had made up their jninds to remain. When Henrietta Scold) was asked whether she would return to the United States, she said she would not: 'I've crossed my Rubicon,'was her way of putting it. Dr. and Mrs. Magnes •( Judah: L. Magnes, president of Hebrew University), also did not dream of leaving." . Dr. Magnes has been designated to take charge of the Hadassah Organization's hospitals, clinics and other enterprises in Palestine, Mrs. Jacobs said, in case communications between that country and the United States are disrupted so that it is impossible for the American women's Zionist organ-: ization to keep in touch with its Interests in"the Holy"'Land."'.

'• Preparations by the Yishub to face alt eventualities were going ahead rapidly on erery aid©; Mrs-.

Jacobs ' continued, ; i ) u t without sign of panic. Plans had _ been worked out for partial evacuation of Tel Aviv, a s ' well as, Haifa' Large stores of staple foods had been laid In. Potatoes, which Palestine has always imported, were being grown in the country ' in large quantities for the first time.

Vegetables Grown "All the gardens in Tel Aviv have been converted to the growing ' of vegetables," Mrs.' Jacdba said.

•\ She described the traditionally gay Jewish city as lively and bustling, as ever, with Arab-visitors in. notiveable numbers in the cafes and on the beach for the first time in four years. . ' ' • ~ -•.Relations between Jews 'and Arabs were strikingly improved, at least on the surface, Mrs. Jacobs said. Business dealings had .been resumed, Jewish business men and - other visitors were going freely to Jaffa. ' • , - But all this peace and prosper-

"The fate of Palestine," she said, "is inseparable from the future of the entire Mediterranean area.

Loyal to Britain "The Yishub is prepared, and is doing its best to take care of its own needs. It may be able to pull through by itself. But if the war lasts long, and supply lines are seriously restricted, the day may come when American Jews will have to send help, as they did in the last war.

"The' Arabs are behaving, for the most part, peacefully, now.

But there was a demonstration In Jaffa, when some Arabs paraded through the street shouting 'Hell Hitler, Heil Duce!' There were rumors of similar demonstrations

warning against 'spreading false rumors,' threatening severe penalties. It wasn't clear who was responsible for the demonstration, or how much Arab sentiment it represented.

"There were rumors, too, that the Mufti had returned to Palestine. I ' h a v e no idea whether there was any basis for these reports, i "One thing is certain - - the Jews are a hundred percent loyal to the Allies. The loyalty is much stronger than t h e Allies themselves seem to realize. No matter what happens, they can depend on the support of the Yishub."

The Jews in Japan

By Joe I. Sargon Editor's Note: The author of the following article recently reiitmed to Bombay after a round-the-world tour. Mr. Sargon Is managing editor of the Jewish Tribune of Bombay and correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

After a very stormy passage across the Pacific from the United States, covering a non-stop voyage of more than fifteen days, we were happy to sight the shores of Japan. In the distance could be seen Mount Fujiyama all aglow, looking resplendent in the rising sun •—. a scene most beautiful and picturesque.

Yokohama, where we disembarked, does not have any sort of Jewish population. In Tokyo, the capital of Japan* a few Jews could be found but the largest number center round Kobe, where it is estimated they total about 200. Most of these Jews are in business and come froni Iraq and India, with which countries they ^conduct an extensive export business.' The coinmunity also includes Jewish, immigrants from Russia and other countries.

Most , of the Jews are in Japan primarily - for commercial , piir-' poses.

less it is brought from Shanghai, a distance of about three days by steamer. When it comes to a question of circumcision a inohel is "imported" from Shanghai, and this becomes an expensive proposition since his fare and other expenses have to be cared for.

Through the initiative of several Ashkenazt Jewish residents of Kobe a communal organization called the KEDO has been recently formed. The KEDO is headed by a board compoesd of five members, elected at a general meeting of the community.

The same meeting also chose religious and audit commissions of three members !each.

The KEDO alms to promote the cultural and religious life of the community. It considers it desirable to' acquaint the ..Japanese people with the Jewish character In order to foster. better understanding. It also does good work in the community, in the field of charity: and has assisted a number of Jewish refugees from Germany, "who • have either passed through Japan or .'have settled In ;that country. ; •'.:, - .;•• .

The Jews of Kobe meet" quite regularly and they closely associate with each other. We were agreeably surprised to read the following report Under the caption "Judaist Club Organized" in the December 19 th issue of the Japan ;Advertiser,' an Anglo-Japanese daily, announcing: the opening of the "Kobe Jewish Club"
