"THE NEW PALESTINE" Comment on Omahans Extract form ' Tie New Palestine," a national.magazine: IF BUSINESS INTERFERS WITH ZIONISM: GIVE UP BUSINESS. There are two Zionists in Omaha, Nebr. Of coursej • there are many more, but this time we will have two particular Zionists in mind. They are J. B. Robinson and I..Goldstein. The membership campaign-started there and they had a problem to solve. It was a question of either attending to their business or working for the membership 'campaign. They made their decision. Business was closed down for a week and they went out to get members for the organization. With the result: One hundred and ten members paid up for the -year 1921. This information we. get-from Mr. Ben Handler, chairman of "the Omaha district. Of course, the other Zionists in Omaha were not aslsep while Messrs. Robinson and Goldstein -were working for the membership campaign. So there are many more members, in Omaha, and they will soon be*sent jin to National headquarters. • ' " Jt"

One more link in the chain of our community's philanthropic organizations is being forged. On next Tuesday evening at the Loyal Hotel a young men's auxiliary to the Jewish Welfare Federation will be organized. It is to be sincerely hoped that it will very soon thereafter take its place with the other branches of the Federation as a powerful factor for good in the community. The need of such an organization is strikingly apparent. Everywhere the call is for young men, in business, in the professions, in the arts and the sciences.. No. less insistent is it in community affairs. For the same? vigor, the same enthusiasm, the same" idealism that is .demanded in the fields ofj individual effort are equally as essential;-in the spheres of communal activity. We conceive this new organization as a sort of training school in which our youth will gain valuable instruction in the duties and responsibilities that go with living in a progressive community. • The.age for active members has been set at 14 as a minimum and 21 as a maximum. No existing group in the city of boys and young men of these ages has for its ideal the purely unselfish objects and purposes of this new association. Working through and under the" guidance' of the Jewish Welfare Federation, organized only for social service and charitable work, it will be at once unique and desirable. For there has long existed a need here of interesting the young men of the city, and especially those young men who are. just out of school or .college, in the work of the Federation. In the young men's auxiliary we see both the means and the incentive for inducing that interest and activity which is so highly essential.

Vienna. (J. T. Agency.) All parts of Vienna -were last week placarded •with a call for a pogrom issued by the anti-Semitic congress at present in session here. The congress,is attended by representatives from anti-Semitic organizations in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, -the representatives of the latter being chiefly delegates from the "Awakening Magyars.". . Delegates at the congress include a large number of men in politics, as •well as high army officers and professional men. . The editor, Jerzabek, accused the Jews of being responsible for the victory of the Allies, while other speakers asserted that the Jews had brought about the war. Resolutions calling for discrimination against Jews in educcticnal institutions were adopted. The sessions of the congress were mainly devoted to considerations as to how • the anti-Semitism can best be furthered in those countries still unorganized."NThe suggestion of the Hungarian delegates to form an international anti-Semitic organization of Arian people was accepted. The Hungarian delegates reported that "The Britons," an anti-Semitic organization in London, had asked them to convey to the congress greetings from all English anti-Semites to assure the congress that antiSemitism had already taken root in England as well as in America.
