Roosevelt Announced Cotton Barter Pact With Ger¬ many Abandoned
.WASHINGTON,: D. G. ;(WNS) Coiifirmiiig ofTicially what, had a.lrcady been unofficially kno\^'n for several W'ceks, President ^Rbosevclt' announced that the much-discussed :Cottoti barter pact .w'iti; Geriiiany , had heen .droppecl because it would have been iu violation of the anti dumping claiisc of the Tariff law as well as .in contravention ' pf. international agreements outlawing dumping of goods in American' and. foreign markets. Al-i tlKuigh thc P'resident did not refer to thc. .boycott nor mention the widespread pro¬ tests against the proposed deal, his an- nounccnieht is certain tp be a tremendous factor in accelerating the. prosecution of the anti-Nazi boycott in this country, since the signing of such an agreement would have opened the gates to large quantities of German-manufactured goodsi 'I'he Presidi^nt to]d newspapermen that the .pact involved payment by; Germany in cash of twenty-five per cent ;of the value of '500,000 bales of. American cotton arid a contract providing for ari exchange of German manufactured goods for the re¬ maining seventy-five per. cent. Because American importers had. announced that they would be unable to sell the German goods to be exchanged for: American cotton in any w^y cx,cept. by violation uf the anti-dumping agreements, the entire deal was scrapped, the President' said.

Temple Supper and Bingo
Party WiU Be ^Held
Tuesday Evening
Considerable interest, has been aroused ¦ \\ the forthcoming .piroductiori of Power", the motic|n picture adaptation,of the great novel, "Jew Suss" from the pe'n -^ of Lion Fcuclitwaiiger, coniiiig to..the Neth's Hartman Theatre in the. near, future for' a continuous run.
¦ "Power" is re.garded as one* of- thc most impprtant Jewish liistoricid novels ever penned. Many consider it Fcucht- waiigcr's maslcrpicce, tile finest work of a novelist who ranks well'in the fore¬ front of ,tlie most significant literary craftsmen of our time.
Those wlio have seen the picture 'Po.wcr", which was produced by the Gau- niont, British Film organization, hail it- as a worthy and faithful. reproduction of thc novel; "Jew Suss", in which every important detail in the book is given a. . triic portraiture in the film. The acting itself is as fine as that in any. pjcturd produced in either; America or England, and lias the advantage of an immense: and important story background.- '¦.
,While tbc/novel, "Jew. Suss'' is pure fiction so far as its plot development,, the period with which it deals .Is  faithfully .: recreated  by  both  tlie novelist and the film director.    It is a niagnificent story, of  supreme intere»;t  to  every  Jew.    Tp view, this picture of' Medieval Germany,' to   which   Germany   Has   Turned  Back. the Clock, is to be given a clear iiisight and understanding Into.thc events which have transpired in Central Europe during" the past few years.
"power" is being released, iu the . United States through the Fox Film CoiJipany, Which cdnsiclers it- one of. the most important films ever imported into, this country.' Conrad Veidt took votunr tary exile from his native; Germany, though.a iion-J.ew, in orde'r that he might portray the. leading role bf Josef "Suss" Oppenheimer. It is undoubtedly'Veidt's finest; portrayal in a ,long and distin¬ guished film career,. ,
Each of; the other .roles is licrformed; by ex.perieuced; and capable actors,-E(rid the direction leaves nothing to be desired. The other actdrs'arc:', : '    ,

Jewish Farmers in U. S. Held Their Own During 1934
NEW YORK (WNS)—Jewish farm-; ! ers in the United.States managed to hold' their own during. 1934 despite the con- ,. tinned, agricultural Crisis, the 34th amiual   . report of the Jewish Agriciiltural'Society reveals.    The report points oiit that al¬ though the Jewish farmers suffered from the same difficulties affecting all agriculT ture, the number of Jewish farmers giv- ' ing up' their farms was proportionately smaller   than   that   among: non-Jewish, farmers.    In explanation of this, the re- . port points out.that most o£ the jewiahr owned farms are located near large urbaii centers, which is a-great help in dispos¬ ing of farm produce.   On the other hand the. number, of Jews trying tp settle on . farms has sharply decreased, only t>yenty- ¦ eight  Jews having been helped by the Society to take up farms during 1934. The report notes that thete are now ap¬ proximately 110,000 Jews on.farrits, most of them in the states of New York, New Jersey arid Connecticut.
During 1934 the Society extentled 381 loans totalling $165,000 to Jewish farm¬ ers, as compared with 857 loans totalling $101,(165 in 1933;   The number bf young Jewish workers receiving employment on . Jewish farms during 1934 totalled only. 187 as. cpmpared with 792. five years ago. . This decline is attributed to the.depi-es- sipri, which has forced Jewish farmers to emplpy   pnly   their   children   and  pther kinsmen in preference, to outside worlc- ers,  'Among the various types of .Jews seeking farm work last year were a rabbi, a lawyer, a pharmacist, a clothing niaiii-t;:! ufacturer,  a   German-Jewish  student^; i;v German-Jewish doctor of philosophy.   :'
