1923réf. 43575New York: Palestine Foundation Fund Karen HaYesod 1923. Paperback. 1st Edition. Photographic tri-fold pamphlet tall 12mo 6 panels. "Address delivered by Mr. Marshall at a Reception to Fr. Chaim Weizmann at the Astor Hotel New York City March 13 1923." Stamped "Presented by Rabbi Abraham Feldman Hartford Conn." Louis Marshall 1856-1929 "was an American corporate constitutional and civil rights lawyer as well as a mediator and Jewish community leader who worked to secure religious political and cultural freedom for all minority groups. In 1905 Marshall was promoted to chairman of the board of directors of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America Conservative Judaism's rabbinical school. After serving as an officer for several years at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York a Reform congregation he became its president in 1916. Marshall was related by marriage to Emanu-El's spiritual leader Rabbi Judah L. Magnes whose wife Beatrice Lowenstein was Marshall's sister-in-law. Marshall's friend and colleague Cyrus Adler noted in his remembrances of Marshall that.'In 1891 he was part of a national delegation that asked President Benjamin Harrison to intervene on behalf of persecuted Russian Jews.' Before the age of 40 Marshall had argued over 150 cases before the Court of Appeals. Marshall was recruited by Samuel Untermyer a classmate at Columbia to join the law firm of Guggenheimer and Untermyer in New York City. Moving there in February 1894 he became heavily involved in Jewish religious and political affairs. He also was involved in alternative dispute resolution ADR acting with Louis Brandeis as the mediator in a strike of 60000 to 70000 cloakmakers in New York City in 1910 and in 1919 was the arbitrator in a clothing-workers' strike. During the years 1910 and 1911 while William Howard Taft was president two openings occurred on the United States Supreme Court. Several of Taft's prominent friends urged him to appoint Marshall who had the reputation of an outstanding Constitutional lawyer and public citizen. A justice of the Supreme Court was the only elected or appointed office Marshall had ever wanted or sought; Taft eventually chose two other men for the positions. In 1914 he was part of the legal team representing Leo Frank a Jewish pencil factory manager convicted of raping and murdering a 13-year-old employee named Mary Phagan. Marshall initiated an ultimately unsuccessful appeal of the case to the United States Supreme Court. Marshall was active in protecting the human and civil rights of Jews and on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of which he was a director and fought major legal battles on behalf of all minorities. By the end of his legal career Marshall had 'argued more cases before the U.S. Supreme Court than any other private lawyer of his generation.' In 1906 with Jacob Schiff and Cyrus Adler Marshall helped found the American Jewish Committee AJC as a means for keeping watch over legislation and diplomacy relevant to American Jews and to convey requests information and political threats to US government officials. Marshall eventually became the AJC's primary strategist and lobbyist. After being elected its president in 1912 he held the post until his death. At the end of World War I Marshall attended the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles France in 1919 as President of the American Jewish Committee and Vice-President of the American Jewish Congress. There he helped formulate clauses for the 'full and equal civil religious political and national rights' of Jews in the constitutions of the newly created states of eastern Europe. These provisions Marshall believed to be 'the most important contribution to human liberty in modern history.' He fought a proposal to have the US Census Bureau enumerate Jews as a race. Although he had some differences with political Zionists Marshall contributed to efforts that led to the establishment of Israel as a Jewish homeland in Palestine. He was instrumental in organizing the American Jewish Relief Committee which brought together Zionists and non-Zionists for the management of Jewish colonization efforts. In 1920 Marshall also attempted to stop a newspaper owned by Henry Ford The Dearborn Independent from spreading anti-Semitic propaganda. Marshall and Untermyer entered the fight against the alleged libelous attacks featured in the paper which led to a 1927 lawsuit against the automaker in federal court. Over the course of his career Marshall served in a variety of notable public service positions at every level. In 1902 Marshall was appointed chairman of a commission investigating the slum conditions on New York City's Lower East Side where many Jewish immigrants had settled. In 1908 he was appointed chairman of the New York State Immigration Commission. In 1923 Marshall was honored with an appointment as a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In that post 'he fought against racial segregation in housing and against the disenfranchisement of the white primary. . Defending the rights of Negro voters he secured a ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of Nixon v. Herndon that the Texas white primary law was unconstitutional.' Marshall was consistently opposed to any attempt to create a unified Jewish vote claiming that while Jewish individuals could interface with politics the community as a whole should not. According to his son's biographer in 1923 Louis Marshall was named the fourth 'most outstanding Jew in the world' by a 'Reader's poll by the Jewish Tribune . None of the three men who topped him in the poll-Albert Einstein Weizmann and Israel Zangwill-were Americans'. In 1927 on the occasion of Marshall's 70th birthday the accolade 'Champion of Liberty' was bestowed upon him by US Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo. The University of Pennsylvania's first Jewish student organization that served as a dormitory kosher dining room and a social center for the university's Jewish students which was organized in 1924 and initially generically named the Jewish Students' Association at Penn after the death of Louis Marshall was renamed after him as the Louis Marshall Society. February 23 1933 Louis Marshall Memorial Hall the second building erected at the New York State College of Forestry was dedicated in Marshall's honor. The Jewish Theological Seminary JTS hosts an annual 'Louis Marshall Award Dinner'.

1939réf. 186857London: Issued by the Jewish Agency for Palestine 1939. Second impression of the Jewish Agency's response to the publication of the McMahon Letters correspondence purportedly showing Britain agreeing to Arab independence including over Palestine prior to the Balfour Declaration. The agency interpreted the letters as confirmation that Palestine was always treated separately and not included in territory to be granted to the Arabs. The McMahon Letters were published by the British Government early in 1939 in an attempt to clarify Britain's historical position. This response cites substantiating documents including government statements and T. E. Lawrence's 18 November 1922 draft preface for Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The colour map emphasizes that Palestine amounts to only one per cent of territory under Arab rule. The second impression was published the same year as the first. Octavo pp. 20. With colour folding map of "Arab Territories and Palestine" text on verso. Original printed wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover lettered in black. A hint of soiling to wrappers and light stain at foot of contents. A very good copy. unknown
