A & P finds Georgia’s manufacturers and
food producers ready and glad to do busi
ness. More than eight million ($8,000,000)
dollars spent for raw products alone in
Georgia (not including manufacturers’
products) in 1931 is A & P’s expression of
faith in this section. There’s nothing
wrong with Georgia. . . .
THE choicest morsels of the early spring
are now being offered in great assortments
at your nearest A & P store . . . many of
which were raised at nearby Georgia farms,
and rushed straight to our stores before
even the morning’s dew has vanished from
the leaves.
MORE people are buying food in A & P
stores today than ever before. Old custom
ers are paying less for what they buy than
they did last year, and new customers are
getting more for what they pay. The ranks
of A & P customers go right on growing
because the public likes to get full value
for its money. And so, A & P leads in keep
ing down your food budget.

A judgment has been taken out against
the Zionist Organization of America to
the amount of $22,000 by an advertising
firm which claims that its contract with
The New Palestine was broken. This
calamity is due to the “abilities” of an
attorney, a well-known Zionist, wealthy
but unfortunately very near-sighted, who
drew up the contract. I he gentleman
decidedly did lack vision. . . . “Mag
nolia Street,” Louis Golding’s latest best
seller, is sweeping all records in England.

P. Adler, is making a big hit on Broad
way, playing a leading role in “Night
Over Taos.” . . . Ludwig Bauman’s,
the well-known furniture store of New
York, is celebrating its 74th anniversary
these days. It is one of New York’s land
marks. . . .
Pierre Van Paassen sailed back for
Europe. We saw Joe Brainin, Charlie
Cowen, Morris Margulies wave farewell
to him on the pier. . . . Van Paassen’s

1'here is a telegram from Nahum Soko-
low to Bernard Richards, the executed
secretary of the American Jewish Con
gress, which reads: “I sincerely express
my hope and desire that American Jewry
will secure the continuation of your ar
dent and useful work for the good work
of our nation.” . . . Ludwig Lewisohn,
in a letter to James Waterman Wise, of
Opinion, has this to say about Maurice
Samuel’s “Jews on Approval”: “A mag
nificent and altogether indispensable
book which proves that prophetic indigna
tion born of love is still with us.” . . .
It was Caroline Harris, mother of the
screen star Richard Barthelmess, who
taught Nazimova how to speak English.
. . . When Emil Ludwig went to Pales
tine, a few years ago, it was at the spe
cific request of l)r. Chaim Weizmann. . . .
On page 436 of March the 11th issue of
The American Hebrew there is a box
with the caption, “The truth of Emil
Ludwig’s Jewish Ancestry.” The truth
about this box is that unless it was pub
lished, the American attorney of Emil
Ludwig would institute suit against
The American Hebrew for having
printed, a year ago, an article by I dwig
which was never even seen by the Great
German Jewish author. . . . Andre
Maurois, French Jewish biographer, gets
20 per cent instead of the usual ten per
cent royalties from his publishers, but
finances all publicity and advertising for
his books himself. . . .
1 he thousands of slips of white paper
which are thrown aw r ay at the funeral
of a wealthy Chinaman represents the
money his relatives and friends are of

“Those Chinamen must have
blood,” added little Caesar,
white paper represent money is a wish
idea.” . . .
Louis Fischer, the USSR com- ,„d en t
for The Nation and a rabid believer in
Stalinland, not so long ago sti: d at
the Dropsie College in Philadelp! a and
delivered passionate Zionist speeches to
Young Judeans. ... Why did Stephen
S. Wise get so indignant because the
Menorah Journal arranged a ^ e t-to-
gether banquet at which Louis Fischer
and Maurice Hindus were th< guest
speakers? . . . And why did Louis I.
Newman write one piece about Samuel's
“Jews on Approval” which was nasty and
insulting and another one which glorified
him as a profound thinker? . . . And
who is A Scribbler, who wrote the inti
mate portrait of Maurice Samuel in
which he says that Samuel is far from
handsome, a statement which manv of the

young and beautiful noblewoman who re
fuses to visit America. But by 1933, all
