(Jewish Daily Bulletin)

Henry Ford has a good word to say for the Jews of America occasionally.

Speaking here on many subjects, he declared: “The Jews are necessary in America. They, with their business ability, keep the people on the go. Otherwise, we would have sat back and taken things easy.”

COMMUNICATION TO THE EDITOR

Sir:

I note in your issue of today a detailed report of the important luncheon-conference of Saturday last concerning the registration of aliens and deportation bills, and was glad to note that you gave this subject so much attention. I am surprised, however, to see that you fail to reprint two of the most important (if not the most important) statements on the subjects read at the meeting. I refer to Gov. Smith’s splendid statement (which I read at the meeting, as it accompanied a letter to me personally), and which was printed in full in Sunday’s “Times,” “World,” etc.; also Oscar S. Straus’ vigorous and masterly concise condemnation, which I have not found printed anywhere. As both certainly ought to appear in full in your columns, I enclose a copy of Mr. Straus’ herewith; Gov. Smith’s is obtainable, as above stated.

Very truly,

MAX. J. KOHLER.

New, York, Jan. 11, 1926.

(The two statements referred to are printed on another page of today’s issue.–Ed.)

“The Right to Kill,” Herman Bernstein’s adaptation of Leo Urvantzov’s play, will be produced by Charles Bryant at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse, 66 Fifth Avenue, Feb. 8th.

Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin sailed for Europe Saturday on the Leviathan.
