work of Hadaftsah, which , is to the Jews what the Red Cross is to the world at large, wa* described by Mils Alice Selifaberg, national chairman of Haddasiah for the United States, at a meetJng on Sunday after-noon lairt at Allen Bloor Theatre. Rabbi Brickner prenlded.
MISS ALICE SELISBERG
:The speaker said that the Haddassah movement started some cloven years ago and was intended to look after the medical needs of Palestinian Je\vs. Since its inception the.: movement "had grown to such an extent that in two year* 9,000 patients had 'been treated in hospitals, and 150,000 in polyclinics, "while 750,000 outpatients had attendee! clinics.
She described the climate of Palestine gs dry and wet. The dry season commences after Passoch and extends to the middle of November.
"The beautiful moonlight nights 'in Palestine are indescribable, The beauty outdoors lit by the moon and shining on the white stone buildings. People walk through the streets singing as they go along. making a picturesque scene, � said the speaker.
She related the experience she had in the distribution of clothing .that was sent from America. Very pathetic cases were revealed. People wrapped in rags and scarcely enough to cover them poured in for clothing. So destitute were the people that .in one case , a girl had seized a cloth that had been used as a mop dried it and bound it about herself.
Miss Seligsberg spoke interestingly of the manner in which the work had been, carried on during the war. and described the progress that had been made in the Zionist efforts for re-establishing Palestine as a Jewish rut ion since the British mandate had became effective. The speaker described, rhe Zionists as the inner circle of the jew? but said the work which was being carried on . in transforming Palestine into a Jewish homeland was one char _ interested all Jews and she a p pea lev 1 to aH to help in carrying forward rhe work. "Let us join hands in a piece of work for our people" were the closing words of the.speaker.

(From the Christian Science Monitor)
MONTREAL (Special Correspon-dence)-^The United States is apparently holding out great^at tract ion to" Canadians at the present time, and this is resulting in a fairly heavy exodus of Canadians who intend to re-locate upon American soil. The situation is regarded -by Canadian Government officials as holding out alarming possibilities, especially at this time when Canada stands in so great a need of new settlers. Disquieting as are the official .figures contained in the 19-21 census report, the need of immigration for the Dominion--is even greater than this showing, would indicate.
Although the facts have not hitherto .been made known, it may be stated that during the past, nine - months Canada has lost in population something like 40",000 fo 50,000 people*' through emigration to the United States. \o official'figures of. emigration" are'kept in Canada, but it is stated on good authority that these figures are approximately correct. Of -this -total fully ,30,000 emigrants have been accounted, for; by the ihrre .'Prairie Provinces. The Maritime* Provinces have contributed another 5,00.0 people, while in British Columbia, a new country in itself,, the situation is assuming alarming proportions. In the past 10 years 177,601 persons have left that Province, which now contains only a little over 500,000 population.
In the meantime, .Canadians closely in touch with the situation in Great Britain and the continent point out that .now Australia clearly has. the call for settlers from the United King-do m, with A f r ich a I so Hoi d i n g out con -siderable inducement. Meantime Canada has to face a situation of having to meet its railroad condition and this can only be done through cx-panfsiori of 'population. ���-Ft is thpiight, however, that the Government is taking a more- constructive attitude regarding the situation, arid -that,-: in the next few months, there will be a considerable change of policy on their part, arid a', speedy adjustment/of the situation as it exists to-dav-
