The world needs more companion-
able and less companionate mar-
triages.
That’s the view of Rabbi Morris
Newfield, for 36 years head of the
Temple Emare! in Birmingham,
Ala., is unalterably opposed to the
principle and doctrine of companion-
ate marriage but does agree that
birth control is not only permissible
but advisable in some cases.
"Companionate marriage is per-
haps not legalized adultery because
the two parties entering into the
contract have legally entered into
the part, but if companionate mar-
riage is carried to its logical con-
clusion it merely means a legal living
together of a man and a woman and
is certainly not marriage in any
sense of the word," said the noted
rabbi.
“I will admit that in the finer
minds companionate marriage could
be a success, but in it there is a po-
tency for a great evil among the
masses who would not comprehend
the better qualities of the proposi-
tion and would abuse it. Our laws
of Marriage should not be based on
the exceptional cases but on the ma-

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
South American countries have
been receiving the bulk of Jewish
immigration from Europe since the
closing of the doors to the United
States, it is revealed in statistics
made public by Mr A. 1. Asofsky,
General Manager of the Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrant Aid So-
ciety of America.
In the course of the last three
years Argentine has received a total
of 26,187 Jewish immigrants, the
largest majority of whom came from
Poland, the statistics disclose. Some
50,000 Jewish immigrants, excluding
those who Came to the United States
of America, settled in other South
and Central European countries,
such as Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and
Cuba, South Africa, Australia. Jew-
ish immigration, according to Mr.
Asofsky, has been encouraged in Ar-
gentine, Brazil and Chile, so much
so that during the past year, while
general immigration to these coun-
tries has decreased, the number of
Jewish settlers has increased.

I believe that I do not speak for
myself alone but for the Brandeis-

ed at the Congress in bringing the
Congress to accept those economic
ideals and principles for which the
Brandeis-Mack group has fought
since 1914, in saying tonight we
shall not battle for the privilege of
leadership. We are prepared to
serve, we are not prepared to enter
into quarrels and struggles in order
to continue our service. If the Bran
deis-Mack leadership is to go on, it
will be because of our acceptance of
a high and holy responsibility, be-
cause the World Zionist leadership
needs the united help of American
Israel, and, above all, because we
cannot bring ourselves to . believe
that American Zionists will again be
prepared to lower the standard that
we have lifted up.

with the usual ballyhoo, "Protest-
ants on Guard!" It was an echo of
the Grand Old Menace, the K.K.K.
Patriotic societies, indeed! That’s
the type of patriotism which is a
menace to Americanism. Yet arti-
cles are not going to change minds
that do that sort of thing. They are
hopelessly bigoted and we have man-
ifestations on every side of the grim,
relentless cruelty with which they
pursue their fanatical inclnations.
Did you feast on Yom Kippur?
That’s the question one hears fre-
guently. Fasting especially in our
Reform groups has become almost
like violating the Prohibition law,
an adventure. Some can give the
exact time they started and finished.
And in many instances it is looked
upon as a definite achievement!
Fasting to some extent has become
a fetish, and we worship it to an
extent disproportionate to the whole
Yom Kippur Day observance. I have
said elsewhere that those who de-
veloped the observance of the holi-
est day in the Jewish calendar must
have had a keen understanding of
human nature. They probably be-

National Home in Palestine.
I congratulate the Zionists of
America upon the Seventeenth Zion-
ist Congress, upon its achievements,
npon its spirit and upon the promise
it holds for the future of our cause.
That the Basic Congress was some
times marked by intense and even
bitter strife is objected to chiefly
by those to whom the quietude of a
cemetery is the ideal of Jewish life
and by those to whom every brave
self-affirmation of the Jewish spirit
is intolerable.
I congratulate the Zionists of
America upon what was wrought at
to commemorate the passing of
Zionism and to those whose Zionism
is little more than a collection of
ghetto-timidities. Knowing the Brit-
ish people as I do—far better, in
truth, than some of its belated Zion-
ist agents, I am prepared to say that
the British people welcomed, under-
stood and respected the unafraid
word of one who spoke as a Zionist,
who dared to speak the truth as he
saw it, who indicated not the British
people but a recent Government,
whose gratitude .to Balfour and
Lloyd Georgi and I Wedgewood is
■not lessened by reason of his abhor-
rence of the Passfields and the chan-
cellors.
I have been asked again and
whether my indictment of the Labor
Government in respect to its treat-
ment of Palestine was not too se-
vere. That question is asked chiefly
not by those who might be consid-
ered genuine Zionists, but by genu-
inly self-seeking professional Zion-
ists who have not even begun to un-
derstand what Zionism means. Zion-
ism does not mean that the Jewish
people are to cringe before the Man-
datory Power over Palestine any
more than they were ready to cringe
before the Turkish suzerainty of pre-
war Palestine. Zionism will never
again brook any leadership which
does not face the Mandatory Power
and the League of Nations alike with
the courage of self-reverence and
“the dignity of self-reliance.
In speaking of and to the British
Government, as the American Dele-
gation did, it vever went as far as
the late lamented president of the
Zionist Organization of America
who, on May 24, 1931, declared
“Zionism must break with England.”
We do not wish to break with Eng-
land. I trust we never will break
with England, but we will stand up
and speak like men whenever the
need arises for protest against the
violation of the terms of the sacred
Mandate laid by the League of Na-
tions upon Great Britain, which sol-
emnly undertook and covenanted
to facilitate the establishment of the
Jewish National Home in Palestine.
I have reason to believe that the
straightforward utterance of the
feeling of the Jewish people the
world over with regard to the failure
of the Mandatory Power during the
two previous years had its part in
nerving the arm of the Government
when, some weeks ago, it faced the
insolent threat of a small and cor-
rupt Arab junta against the peace
and security of Palestine. The Sev-
enteenth Zionist Congress refused to
deal with the problem of relations
with the Mandatory Power after the
manner of cheap and cowardly poli-
ticians. It adopted the mander and
the matter of men and Jews and
statesmen, and England under-
stands I

BERLIN—(JTA) -—The marked

anti-Jewish excesses which took
place hre dn Rosh Hashonah, the

organized anti-Semitic Nazi forces
attacked Jews in various centers of
Berlin.

Hashonah are partly responsible for

Methods of the alien smugglers as
described by Mr. Doak includes bo-
gus or counterfeit warrants issued
and exhibited to aliens who are
either legally or illegally within the
United States, by certain persons
who demand that a sum of money
ranging from $100 to $500 be im-
mediately given them or they would
be deported; illegal entries by the
use of re-entry permits, whereby
certain clerks or other employes in
the Department at New York and
elsewhere were making this possible
by means of information abstracted
from Government records relating to
othr and entirely different and
legally admitted aliens. The racke

bear a close resemblance to the sta-
tionery of real Government offices.
