YOUNG JUDAEANS
That this club is truly taking important steps toward reconstruction became quite evident at the last meeting.
The dominating event of last Sunday's meeting was the model educi-tibnal program that Vic Freeman gave, a program that has never been equalled in many weeks. To start off the evening, Stanford Korsch presented what turned but to be a most humerous talk b«J'^Building a Settlement in Twielve Hours." Following this, Len Korsch gave a-detailed account of Jewish news gince the advent of the war. The meiet-ing was topped off with an interesting address on "The Hebrew University at Mt. Scopus by the chairman, Vic Freeman.
Mr. Nemetz has most kindly donated a ball and bat to start the baseball season right. It is hoped tennis enthusiasts will be certain to turn out on April 7 at the Stanley Park Tennis Courts for some good sets with the club.
Judaean Night is slated for a performance sometime in the latter part of April. A committee meeting and the. casting of the play will tak^ place on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. All officials and particularly those who wish to try out for the casting are requested to turn up.
The much talked of "Chalutzim" social held last Saturday night proved both amusing and entertaining. Prize winners were Kenny Abramr son and Leslie Raphael.

In order of car
commmiity should be familiar with the set-Qp and pnspcse of the Vancouver A<didaCh Co-operative Sooleiiy we are glad to pnidlsh the ioUowliig details of, this worthy tnstitatlon whoise viriuable work anabngst Vancouver Jewry is not folly recognized. Bb. M. Miner, Financial Secretairy, kindly submitted this ii^^ -y
How the Society Started
About ten years ago during the height of the 1929-30 depn^sion, when money was hard to obtain; in the way of loans, even when collat-teral was offered, the small business man was seriously handicapped by the chaotic financial conditions, being unable to obtain sufficient credit to carry on while those who were fortunate enough to do so were subjected to high interest. Taking cognizance of such abnormal times and sensing the hardship imposed upon many people with limited means, a group of influential business men banded together with the object of forming a Loan Society whereby members could get loans when required, at a nominal interest rate. The ultimate result of this step was the formation of the Co-operative Society.
Rapid progress was made and in May, 1933, it was found necessary to completely re-organize : the Society to cope with the vast expansion of membership, with the result that it became a government chartered financial institution under the registered name of Vancouver Achduth Co-operative Society.
Actlvifies The Vancouver Achduth extends its facilities to bona-fide members who enjoy all the privileges of participating in all its activities. Every registered member is entitled to vote and be elected to the Board of Directors irrespective of the number of shares held by him. He is also entitled if desired, to borrow money from the Society, the amount borrowed depending on the number of shares held by him. The shares of ttie Society have a par value of $10.00 and loans are issued at three times the value of shares held by a member. Example: If a member holds ten shares, he is entitled to a loan of three hundred dollars and so on. A member has the right to redeem his share if desired upon a written application to the Board of Directors according to the bylaws of the Society.
Such loans are extended for a six months' duration bearing the 6% interest per annum and is repayable m weekly Instalments.
The loans extended to members are fully secured by a. demand note and endorsed by two responsible parties.
During the past year the Achduth extended ninety-seven loans ranging from $150 to $750.
The present membership is 187 with a paid up capital of $8200.00. The books of this Society are looked after by a qualified accountant who installed the same system of accounting as that used by a chartered bank, and are being audited monthly by a government chartered accountant to ensure proper care of the Society's funds.
The Vancouver Achduth Society invites every Jewish man who is over twenty-one years of age and of good character, to join its ranks. By joining this Society he would be entitled to a $1,000 Life Insurance Policy at a very low cost.
Being a member he will not only have the opportunity to put away a little nest-egg, which will bear him interest at not less than 2%, but will also have the opportunity to avail himself with the Society's facilities for a loan, should the need arise.
It is iioped that this resume of the Society's activities will clarity the wrong impression heretofore created and that henceforth the Vancouver Achduth Co-operative Society will be placed in its righful status as a bona flde financial Institution, catering to all business people who from time to time require banking facilities, and not as some people think, a charitable institution.
GOLDMAN
(CoiitfnueS from Page 1)
speaker continued, "that If you want to plant for one year—you plant wheat; for ten years—plant trees, but for a hundred years—plant men.'' Henceforth, Palestine must not only serve as a haven of refuge, but must also become the inspiration and spiritual n^rvie-centre for Jewish thought and learning. Tiiat is why B'nai B'rith contributed last year $100,000 for purchase of land in Palestine and $15,000 for Youth Aliyah.
: Reply To An Anti-Semite The speaker told of a.most interesting experience he had while travelling by train. He met a man who appeared to be well educated and who afterwards told him that lie was an American citizen of Polish descent. Tills man didn't know that Biro. Goldman was a Jew. Before loing they began to discuss various subjiects and finally the conversation turned, to politics. (The discussion took place sometime before Hitler's invasion of Poland.) Bro. Goldman chanced to ask him what he thought of Hitleii's treatment of the Jews. To which the Pole replied: "It's too bad we haven't a man like Hitler here, to knock all the Jews out of America." Bro. Goldman then said: "Tell me, possibly you are right, but how; do you justify that statement?" "The Pole replied he had four reasons: 1. Jews seek and have economic control of America. 2. They are parasites. 3. They are Internationalists seeking political control of the world, and 4. They axe clannish and non assimilatlonlsts. Bro. Goldman said: "I then suggested caln^y to this man to let'us examine carefully, how much, if any, truth there was in each of the points raised."
"Taking the first point. Economic Control, I said let us examine the major indtistries one by one. First in Impcurtance is of covam the steel industry. Who controls it? Why, Charles Schwabb a Jew, he replied. I then informed him that Schwabb was not a Jew but a Catholic of German descent. In fact there Is not a single Jew in that Industry. Next came railroads —not one Jew could we name on any of the important; railroads. Then automobiles—there are the Ford cars. Dodge cars, Chryslers—but not one Cohen or Levi car. In examining banking, we found that the largest banking institutions were the Chase City National Bank of New York and the Plerpont Morgan House and in both these Institutions the social standard Is a bar to Jewish partnership. There is of course the Ktihn Loeb House but it is Insignificant in importance by comparison with other financial Institutions. Then we came to the motion picture industries with which many prominent Jewish names are associated. But then, I said, since when is it a crime to take an indus-tty from scrap—from infancy and build it up into a great organization; to develop talent, to entertain and to educate? And even here, I pointed but that the Chase National Bank who financed the industry have appointed Will Hay^—a Catholic—as Czar."
"Next I took up the point are the Jews Parasites? I proved to him how

Ways of Getting Money Out As to how the fugitives got their money away from dictatorship, all sorts of stories are.current.
One of the most prosperous German industrialists here got away with his by a trick. He notified the Gestapo (Nazi secret police) that he had a bank balance in Switzerland but could not obey the regulations and return to Germany without go- ] ing for it in person. The Grcstapo' sent two guards with him. When safely in a Swiss bank with Swiss, police near by, the fugitive thanked the guards for bringing him across the border with & suitcase concealing his securities in its false bot-| tom. "
Another converted his money intol gold, melted the gold into bullion out! of which he fashioned the parts for] his motor car, smeared thenx with] oil 'and paint and drove'safely across the border. Others bought register-^ ed securities, burned them in the presence of a notary who recordec the numbers and on his sworn affl-J davit duplicated them when ' thej were safely out.
Out of the European Chaos Canadsj Prosperous Axiew
From the sum of such miserie.j Canada is prospering anew. In thtl years when she was searching "tbJ highways of Europe for good im| migrants, none like these was avs able. The industrialists were fli settled in their own lands. Now thej are knocking at her door in eve increasing numbers.
There has been nothing like since France drove out the Huguij nots in the seventeenth century anil thus laid the foundation of Brit industrial supremacy in textiles the great watch and clock Indus of Switzerland, Canada, similarly, taking advantage of the greatest o| portunity that fate ever presentc to a new nation.

How In 25 years a de wilderness hsis been transformed Inii magnificent producifclvity — built the sweat of the Jew and the Jc alone. I tmOe him realize that it the Guild of bygone days excluc the Jew from its ranks—forced hi to become a trader and money ler er."
"On the point that we are Int nationalists I cited verse and chapt to prove beyond doubt that the called Protocols of Zion were nottilng] but slanderous forgeries proved to be] such by the highest authorities ittl England, France, Switzerland and! America."
Bro. Rabbi Cass then thanked^ti^l spealcer for his informative and stlr^l ring address. He agreed that action! was needed to Integrate ourselves inl Jewish life, so that we have have a f healthy centre of such life on thisi conthient, also that we might pre>l serve the cardinal virtue of loving our[ neighbour as ourselves.
