He feels certain that ir..vernnient that may be in pow- r, Kngland will do everything to iitate the realization of the Zion- pirit, policy and ideal. He was if a strong and keen Zionist, but tar reasons different than those held Wedgwood, who sees Zionism n the terms of Dr. Weizmann, . wanted a Palestine “as Jewish - Kngland is English.” This term, ; by-Gore stated, was perhaps un- ,, r 111nate and certainly misconstrued i political sense. However, the Jews e fur a Jewish Palestine, not an English, not a French, nor an Amer- an Palestine.

While this in creased Jewish immigration indicates a desire on the part of Jews to emigrate from Eastern Europe and other coun tries, it also has a very happy signifi cance because many of the Jewish immigrants have gone to Brazil as a result of either being sent for or be ing urged by the relatives who have already established themselves in Bra zil to come. During these six months there arrived in the various ports of Brazil 2,100 Jewish immigrants as compared to 1,250 who came in the first six months of 1928. According to reports received by the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, 425 Lafayette Street, New York City, these immigrants were served by the Hias-Ica-Emig- direct offices in Europe before they left on their journey to the new coun try, and in Brazil upon their arrival. The immigrant aid work in Brazil is carried on by the Jewish Immigrant Aid Committee which has its head quarters in Rio de Janeiro and has sub-committees at the various Bra zilian ports. Everything is being done to assist the new arrivals in estab lishing themselves and efforts are be ing particularly made in the direction of having them go into the interior of the country. The situation in Bra zil as far as Jewish immigrants are concerned is very hopeful. EINSTEIN WOULD REFUSE EV ERY DIRECT OR INDIRECT WAR SERVICE NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSES OF WAR Zurich (J. T. A.)—Unequivocal re fusal to participate in any war, no matter what the causes, was the an swer given by Professor Albert Ein stein at a meeting of the Council of War Resisters in Zurich. “I should unconditionally refuse ev ery direct or indirect war service and try to induce my friends to adopt the same attitude, irrespective of the gen eral opinion the causes of war,” Pro fessor Einstein declared, when asked what his attitude would be in the event of another war. This reply was prohibited publication in Czecho-Slo- vakia. Senner Brockway, M. P. who pre sided stated that the object of the War Resisters International was not to escape war service but to put an end to war. W r ar, he said, had its roots in capitalism and imperialism and would only be removed by the con struction of a new social and inter national order. Pending that, the re sistance psychology and a resistance organization was necessary in order to prevent war. MOVEMENT FOR SABBATH ALLI ANCE UNDER WAY IN FRANCE Paris (J. T. A.)—A movement to create in France a Shomre Shabbos Union, having for its purpose the bringing about universal observance of the Sabbath is now under way under the leadership of Commandant Armand Lippman. A large number of Jews have already joined the union, among them not only immigrants but French Jews.
