There is a section of U. S. public opinion which distrusts the more radical measures of the New Deal and blames them on the Jewish advisers of President Roosevelt. Year ago the American Hebrew pointed with pride to the list of Jews serving in the Administration or acting as advisers to the President.

Secretary of Interior Ickes has Nathan R. Margold, Harvard Law School graduate, as his solicitor, and Robert D. Kohn as his director of PWA housing.

The neighbors, Russians and a few Koreans, were...
Last week the Central Executive Committee promoted Biro-Bidjan from a territory to a Jewish Autonomous Region with one representative in the Soviet Council of Nationalities. It further promised that when the Jewish population (now about 8,000) reaches 30.000, Biro-Bidjan will become an autonomous republic with five representatives in the Council of Nationalities. Said Boris I. Trotsky, vice-chairman of the Government's committee for putting Jews on the land: "This has nothing in common with Zionism.
