NEW YEAR is another branch sprouting on the ageless tree of time . . . deep-rooted in the fertile history of humanity. For the Jewish people, Rosh Hashonah is Israel's tree of immortality, deep-rooted in the soil of civilization. In the barren sands of bigotry and intolerance, amidst the choking- weeds of adversity and suffering, amongst the deadly poisons of fanaticism and barbaric persecution - the tree of Israel flourished, always re-seeding the surrounding terrain with religious progress and social justice. For Goldstein-Chapman's, the new year lengthens the vigor of its tree of life. Started ao a tiny acorn in local enterprise, it has grown into a'mighty oak, with service, reliability and proven value feeding its ever-growing vitality . . . until today it has become deeply-rooted in public confidence.

In the new year Goldstein-Chapman's is pledged to seek to cultivate and nourish its growth in public esteem . . . and we feel certain that Israel, despite handicaps, will remain firmly planted in the soil of righteousness and civilized progress, lending fertility to the happiness and peace of the months ahead.

The universal life of Israel : from this day forth will no long: er be the life of those who solicit favors and ward off blows because such negative measures are their one resource. The universal life of Israel will be from this day on a creative life — a life that gradually creates its own liberation and by that liberation from servitude and wrong brings by so much nearer the. liberation of mankind from its servitude to cruelty and falsehood and hate.

Dugdale Now that the Jewish State, even though in reduced size, is becoming a realistic political factor, this chapter on how Balfour met and worked with Dr. Chaim Weizmann is of especial interest. The author is a niece of the late Lord Balfour. "We present this passage from her two-volume book, 'Arthur* James Balfour," by special courtesy of G. P.

PEEIJ is a signature that was assured during the year of a place in history, standing as it did at the foot of the monumental report of. the British Royal Commission on Palestine, recommending tripartition of the Holy Land. Edward VIII, short-reigned King of England, commissioned his "Right Trusty and Right Well beloved Cousin and Counsellor, William Robert Wellesley, Earl Peel, Knight Grand Commander of Our Most Exalted Order of the Star of Indian, Knight Grand Cross of Our Most Order of the British Empire," with five other well-beloved -nd right honorable gentlemen, to find out what was wrong in Palestine, and how to fix it, if possible. Working under difficult conditions, surrounded by rancor and bloody events, the noble Earl and his colleagues did what even a hostile observer would have to admit was a masterly job of reporting. Speculation -as to who actually wrote the report may be unjust . -. . the Earl is an old newspaperman -himself. He covered the Graeco-Turkish War in 1897 for the London Daily Telegraph. At that time he was merely the eldest son of the first Viscount Peel, an Oxford graduate and a lawyer (called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1893). .He was thirty then, is seventy now.

The Earl's grandfather was ths famous Tory statesman Sir Robert Peel, whose policy as secretary for Ireland presents some curious parallel to those recommended by the grandson for Palestine, and whose career there was immortalized by the designation "peelers" applied to the Irish constabulary. The earl's long political experience includes terms in the House of Commons — he is now, of course, a member of the House of Lords — leadership of the Municipal Reform Pary," and many Government posts. He was raised to earldom in 1929. He is married, has a son, Viscount Clanfield, and a married daughter.
for Palestine abolished, and who appeared before the Mandate Commission for that purpose, is well acquainted with that article of State. He was Britain's representative on the commission when the Palestine mandate came into being in 1922. Furthermore he has first-hand experience of Palestine — he was Assistant Political Officer there in 1918. Together with his long carreer as an active soldier and a colonial official, he has sidelines as a geographer — he served a term as president of the Geographical Association — and an art connoiseur. He is fifty-two years old, a graduate of Eton and Oxford. His father, still living, is Baron Harlech; his wife is the daughter of the Marquess of Salisbury; they have three sons and three daughters.

In our growth as the clothing center of this territory we have emphasized incomparable values, skilled and courteous service, complete style selections unsurpassed in quality to attract a discriminating public. For Israel, Rosh Hashonah renews faith with the past. For the Nebraska Clothing Company the attainment of leadership in the past is but a prelude to maintaining that leadership.

WHEN

HEN hackneys were the fashion... Hayden's was pioneering the local merchandising realm, blazing the trail with honest value and fair dealing. Establishing new frontiers in Omaha's trade history was a hazardous task. But Hayden's always built for the morrow. And as the hackneys gave way to the automobile and airplane, Hayden's continued to eye the future, without sacrificing the time-honored traditions of the past. Merchandising ahead, our policies have met changing conditions. Remodeling, beautifying, expanding, broadening our service and our values . . . we have never relinquished the reputation which was* ours even when hackneys were in fashion. With the approach of a new year, we hope that Israel will as in the past infuse fresh inspiration and vitality into the life-blood of humanity's progress . . . while for the new and greater Hayden's, in the year ahead we renew our pledge of traditional honest value and
fair dealing.

Coming down through the centuries from a past so far away it is misty, the feast is redolentJwith thoughts of God's goodness, of His infinite mercy and loving care for His people. In humble acknowledgment'of.that love and care, and with hearts grateful for the mercy that endureth forever,-the feast-is-obser.ved-with.'.the same reverence and ceremony it was thousands of years ago, when prophets walked with God, when judges dealt fairly with the affairs of men, when rulers were strong yet jealous for their pepple-'and: their-people's God, and a barbarian world wondered at the;spirit that held the Jews together. That spirit still prevails, and has sustained the Jew through the sorest of his tribulations, through the bitterest of persecutions, in good season and bad. in prosperity and in adversity, courageously facing all trials, hopefully looking forward to that time which is foretold by Micah:

The Blkur Cholim has been kind enough to help pay- for hospital and drug bills; the Needle Guild, with Mrs. B. A. Simon and Mrs. William Racusin In charge, has been of materialassistance; Mrs. T. A. Tully, Chairman of the Clothing Committee of the Women's Division, has been most helpful in bringing in garments so badly needed by the people with whom we have been working. We are particularly indebted to Mr. William Boasberg of. the Live Wire Cleaners and also the Peerless Cleaners. Every article of clothing received by us was cleaned, pressed ' and repaired without any cost and then returned to us for distribution to needy families. The Family Welfare Department has always been happy to avail itself, of the services of the Medical and Dental Advisory Committee. Not only have- .our physicians and dentists given their , time and services to all needy families - and Individuals but, in addition, the group has met regularly to consider a l t phases of Jewish modern problems.

All these men and women very naturally reflect the general life of our country and have an Important influence in shaping the thought of the million that inhabit here. With the exception of a few of them, however, such as Dr. Einstein and Ludwig Lewisohn, they take little, it any, interest In Jewish life. How different from the Jewish past! A generation or two ago, Jewish men of ability devoted their entire lives to the cause of their own people. Their sphere of work was in Jewish life altogether. That is the reason why the great Academies of Jewish Learning in Poland, formerly in Russia, in Germany and elsewhere, flourished and created a body of scholarship which continued the labors and traditions of the great Jewish scholars of the Middle Ages and thereafter.
The SanUarr Laundry lias rocenily been acquired by Harold I J. Speier who comep here 1'votu Sioux Falls, SouUi Dr^ota, v:hne he was assistant, manager of a lsuticlry owned by his lather for tTiep ast thirty-five years. His brother, Edwin Speier, is the new sale1- inp.nager.
It has been the fate of the Jewish people always to fall victim to world circumstances not of their own making. War, mass.emigration, the shifting of economic and other forces from one country to another and the accompanying reorientation that necessarily follows, very frequently have left for them the hiatus that represented a loss of time, energy and sometimes even of life itself. It, of course, always takes several generations to recuperate and to establish a new life upon a solid basis.

That was the basic dificulty of early Jewish life in America. It took more than a century for the general Jewish body to become sufficiently strong to set up institutions here that could serve it in a spiritual way. Charitable and philanthropic assistance had been made available to the Jewish needy by their co-religionists from • the very beginning when there was but a handful of our people in this country. It is only within the present generation, however, that Jewish institutions in America have become forces in molding. Jewish life and character here. Jewish scholarship is, therefore, very recent In America. Often it was necessary, in the,past, to bring Jewish scholars here from abroad to offer instruction in Jewish lore, Hebrew language and grammar. Within the last few depades, -however, a change has taken place. Jewish scholarship is taking on the form and color of the American milieu. We may now hope that, not only will the Jewish learning of the past be safe with the new Jewish scholarship developing in this count r y . b u t that the latter may itself burgeon and_grow, to a ripeness

British Chief Rabbi As the historic Shofer rings out the sounds this year, I liope we shall become meditative and recapture the sense of the divine which is the greatest gift and portion of this life. The Shofer echoes a voice temporarily silenced by the noise of life's difficulties, calling to man to re-find himself the seriousness and potentialities of life; urging: him on to live fully and well. On this holiday we pray for life. One may be tempted to ask, "is life worth its price?" If life is but a shadow, a dream, full of trials and tribulations; a battle that 1 ends •with death, why then attach so much significance to it? Life is futile if it is measured in years in which to derive personal pleasures only; life is meaningless if it is lived on a low intelligent plane. Life assumes signifance and meaning if seen from another standpoint, seen in Spinoza's phrase "under the aspect of Eternity." Then life's goals are kind deeds, understanding, self-enoblement in spirit, intellect and dignity. And as the years glide silently by we should on this New Year pray for one little gift, the capacity to understand the manifold life of the universe and the ability to see the good in every man. Let us but ask that our souls recapture the divine in its fullness. Let us alloAV that avenues leadv* ing to our hearts be kept open for God, for the world and for mankind. . Let our eyes be open to beauty, let our ears be open to Dr. Joseph Hertz, Chief Sab song, let our'minds be open to thought and our souls to bi of the British Empire, wh sacredness. To be open to the influences streaming into our beings from the far reaches of the divine, this is the took an important part in thi coronation exercises of K i j gift we should ask for.

By Julia Bonwit WASHINGTON. The -"Seventy-fifth Congress, driven hard In a turbulent ses-: Bion running well into the Summer, has made much noise but accomplished little, Today, with seven months of legislating behind it, the Seventylifth Congress has a meager legislative record, although many attempts have been made and gone by the board- ' For the Jews, only one bill- of any great importance has gone far enough to see the light of day, and even now, there is some doubt as to its final enactment. That measure is the Dies bill, passed by the House after lengthy hearings and following a compromise in the House Immigration Committee that transposed it from- a drastic deportation measure, to a liberal piece of legislation affording considerable relief to Jewish aliens. ,'•'... Introduced by Representative Martin Dies (D.) of Texas, the bill originally provided for the deportation of many classes of aliens illegally in this country, including large numbers of Jews. Through the intervention of Representative Samuel Dickstein (D.) of New York, chairman of the Immigration Committee,'however, the bill was liberalized to provide relief for thousands of hardship cases. ; Lengthy hearings were held, during which the Immigration 1 Committee heard protests from 'Bo-called patriotic associations as •well as endorsements from large numbers of Jewish groups. Finally,- after Mr! Dies had agreed to the compromise, the bill was reported favorably by Mr.. Dickstein's committee and was passed by the House. At this •writing it is awaiting a Senate hearing, with considerable doubt as to its ultimate fate in a body rocked with debate over the controversial Supreme Court reform bill. Representative Dickstein figured in another attempt in behalf of Jews which met with little success in the House. This was in connection with the famous "H. R. SS," the resolution seeking to continue and extend the congressional investigation of un-American activities in the United States, principally the influence of the Nazi Government here. • . Sponsored by Mr. Dickstein, the bill was approved by his committee and was given precedence In the House over other legislation under terms of a special rule obtained from the powerful House-Rules Committee. However, in the midst of acrimonious debate, it went down to defeat on April 8. Since that time, according to Mr. Dickstein, Hitler agents in this country have become "more brazen," with a great influx of Naziists breeding Nazi adherents
of this change that the questions Jewish member of the House, has asked of aliens seeking citizenship are designed on a scale requiring the knowledge of a constitutional lawyer and do not, therefore, constitute a fair examination. Many speeches have been made on the floor of the House in behalf of the Jews by some of the more vocal of the ten Jewish members of Congress. Notable among these Is Representative William I. Sirovich (D.) of New York, who during the past year has .delivered several long speeches attacking Nazi Germany and persecution of Jews under Hitler as well as in other countries. On one occasion, In defense oC Cardinal Mundelein, after the Catholic prelate had been denounced by Hitler. Dr. Sirovich rose to excoriate the anti-Semitic policy of Germany and to turn a finger of scorn at each of Hitler's confidantes and advisers. In the speech, in which he enthusiastically endorsed the Dies bill. Representative Sirovich described Hitler as "the Al Capone racketeer of Germany." Representative Herman P. Kopplemann (.D) of Connecticut gives much time to Jewish matters, although because of his belief that more work can be done for Jews if the efforts are initiated by non-Jews, his name is not frequently connected with legislation of Jewish concern. For the past two sessions of Congress, Mr. Kopplemann has sponsored a measure known as the equal rights bill for the District of Columbia. Although this is generally construed as a bill for the benefit of colored people in Washington, Mr. Kopplemann points out that there are apartment houses in the National Capital which are closed to Jewish tenants and there is real estate which cannot be purchased by Jews. Representative Kopplemann, who prides himself on being a liberal and points to the history of the Jews as liberals, recently said: "We have had to keep a step ahead of the next fellow. Otherwise, we could not have survived. Ii. keeping a step ahead, our eyes have been focused on the future and hence we had to be daring where, others were timid. Our suffering made us broadminded and tolerant. Our persecution made us sympathetic to the hardships of others and instilled in us a burning desire for equality among men and justice to all. That is why democracy appeals to the Jews. That is why so many of us sought our home among Democratic people. That is why Jews, true to the highest ideals of the race, can always help to keep alive the true spirit of democracy." •

WRITER SCORES GERMAN CONSUL Mannfried von Killinger, the new German Consul General of San Francisco, was charged by Johannes Steel, author of "Escape to the Present" and former foreign editor of the New York Evening Post, of being a member of "the secret Nazi political murder organization" which conceived and carried out the assassination of the Catholic Minister Erzberger. Mr. Steel, speaking over station WEVD under the auspices of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League, said, "Killinger belonged to that group of German officers who, after the war, found it Impossible to readjust themselves to civilian life. He helped to organize a terrorist group known as "Company Ehrhardt." Its purpost was to act as a stooge to the Reichswehr whenever it was found necessary to remove a too enthusiastic supporter of the Weimar Republic." "Today," Mr. Steel continued, "this very same Killinger is actively organizing Nazi-units In United States. He is being assisted by Col. Archer, a former organizer of the Ku Klux Klan, as well as the German Consulate at Los Angeles." Mr. Steel urged his listeners to write or telegraph to their "Congressmen and Senators as well as to the Secretary of State, that the American Government tell Hitler to recall Killinger." "Haven't we had enough trouble," he said, "to put our. own Al Capone and Dillingers away without being sent the •Killlngers ot Mr. Hitler? The least we can ask is that the Nazi diplomatic corps in this country is not composed of conspirators, ex-convicts, and assassins. Mr. Steel said today there no longer existed any quarrel about the merits and demerits of Hitlerism. "The whole civilized world," he stated, "has given its verdict. It was unanimous in its condemnation of what is going on in Germany today. And here I come to the point I wish, to make tonight," he continued. "Many of you who are listening now feel: We are part of that public opinion that has condemned Hitler. What more can we do? What more should we do? Let us be be grateful that we are'five thousand miles away from Germany and that the Atlantic is between us. In short, let us mind our own business." *" "This argument, of course, is sound, or rather would be sound if Hitler and his henchman would stay at home. This precisely is the point I -want to make. HITLER IS NOT STAYING AT HOME. He and his agents and provacateurs are Interfering with the orderly processes of democratic government in many parts of the world including the United State. Not satisfied with having made the name of Germany a stench in the nostrils of the civilized world. Hitler wants to Impose his doctrine of force and violence upon other democratic people of the world." Mr. Steel declared that the Hitler Government maintained a "Brown Nazi International, the brown network of spies and terrorists which circles the globe. "Here in the United States," he concluded, "all the correspondentes for Nazi-papers are potential spies and terrorists."

The ' soundness'and effective-' ness of the policy of the Soviet Union with regard to its component nationalities was most clearly revealed to me by its method of solving! the ancient, troublesome and apparently unsolvable Jewish problem. The Czarist minister Plehve, to cite his .own words, could think of only one solution: To force one third of the Jews to become converted, another third to emigrate and the remaining third to starve to death. The Soviet Union found another way out. A large proportion o£ Its five million JewB have become assimilated, and at the disposal of the others it has placed a large autonomous territory and means for its colonization — end thus has acquired several millions of hard-working, intelligent citizens who have become fervent adherents of the Soviet regime. In the Soviet Union I met a large number and great variety of Jews, and, being interested in things Jewish, spoke with them at great length. The intense tempo of the productive process requires man-power, labor of hands and of brains, and the Jews were glad to let themselves
sheepish smile. They told me of the intense but friendly rivalry between the non-Jewishr.and Jewish settlements in the- Ukraine, the Crimea and the Don* region. And some Don Cossacks .told me that their ancient suspicion of the Jews was destroyed not so much because the latter turned out to be the. better farmers," but because they eventually surpassed the Cossacks in horsemanship. With equal passion the Jews, after suffering exclusion from the seats of learning and culture for so many centuries, nave now rushed into these new fields. I was told that in the Jewish villages there is noticeable shortage of young people* men and women, from fifteen to thirty RETURN TO AGRICULTURE years of age.

At times Jews even said to me: "It is years since I have thought of the fact that I am a Jew; only your questions reminded me of it." Deeply touching is the unanimity with which the Jews whom I met emphasized how thoroughly they agree with the new government. Formerly they had been despised and persecuted, men without a trade or profession and without a purpose in life, "Luftmenschen"; now they are farmers or industrial workers or intellectuals or soldiers, and filled with gratitude for the new order.

Our Jewish Holy Days again draw nigh. Our Judaism, "which has been more or less in. abeyance during the summer, again comes to the fore. I t is intensified . because of the problem of Palestine unexpectedly thrust into the lime-light by the report of the Royal British Commission. The Zionist world is divided on the question whether the British proposal to divide Palestine into three parts and make of one of them a Jewish state should be accepted. President Chaim "Weizman is in favor of endorsing the principle. Rabbi Stephen S. "Wise, President of the American Zionist Organization is bitterly opposed to it. "Whatever may be done in the end, the Jew-ijsh world finds the Jewish •^sew Year 5698 now opening fraught with the most serious possibilities. Again there is a crisis for the Jewish People, aggravated by the continuance of anti-Semitism throughout the world. Things do not seem to be any better for the Jew in Nazi Germany. Conditions in Poland, Boumania, other parts of the world are exceedingly grave. And yet the Jew approaches his New Year with his heart full of courage as of old. The God of Israel has seen the people through many a crisis throughout the long centuries of Israel's existence. Israel refuses to be disheartened or to despair. To those who favor the British proposal there seems even to be a glimmer of hope, a welcoming turning of the tide. The aspirations of many for a Jewish State, however small, seem about to be realized. Those who deem the creation of a Jewish state the solution of Israel's multifarious woes feel mightily encouraged. Their roseate dream is about to be realized. Even those who do not regard a political solution a real solution of the so-called "Jewish Problem," nevertheless feel the attempt of a Great Empire, which will no doubt be applauded by many other nations, even if not formally approved by the League of Nations, to do justice to the Jew even in this manner, as nevertheless an omen of good import. Serious consideration is accorded the Jew. His cause will be championed in other ways, also. The folly, as well as the wickedness of anti-Semitism, for example, will be seen also. Troubles seem to be increasing for Nazi Germany. The conscience of Christendom, as seen by the recent AVorld Conference at Oxford, is beginning to be more seriously aroused. The Jewish New Year as all the New Years in their blessed occurence, bid the Jew to retain hope. "He sleepeth not, nor slumbereth, the Guardian of Israel." Let Israel be awake also to its duties and obligations. Above all let it cherish and nourish its religious spirit as the real source of its strength, whatever may happen in the outside world. "In confidence and assurance shall continue to be its indomitable strength. Israel is unconquerable, for the God of Righteousness sustains him." May this be the attitude of Israel in the New Year. May its faith, nourished by the sublime religious services of the Holy Days, continue to be firm and unshakeable. "No weapon that is formed, against Israel shall prosper, and every voice that is raised against Israel in judgment shall be condemned," and finally refuted and confounded. "Israel, trust in the Lordl He is your help and your shield!" May the God of Israel hearken to the prayers of His devoted servants, throughout the forthcoming Holy Days, and may the New Year bring hope, health, help and divinest happiness to one and all. - - I5.ABBI FREDERICK COHN.
YIDDISH CULTIVATED Like all national languages, Yiddish is lovingly cultivated in the Soviet Union. There are Yiddish school!; and newspapers, and an excellent Yiddish literature; congresses are convened for the cultivation of Yiddish, and the Yiddish theatres enjoy great esteem. In the State Yiddish Theatre at Moscow I witnessed an extraordinarily fine performance ofi "King Lear," with the great actor Michoels in the title role and with the splendid comedian Suskin; the settings were modern and very beautiful, and the whole production was excellent. The establishment of the national Jewish State of Birobidjan met with enormous difficulties at the beginning, and opponents of the Soviet Union — and not they alone — regarded it as an enterprise that in audacity and hopelessness equaled the attempt to build up a Socialist economy in a single country. Insufficient financial means impeded the development of the project, many of the colonists began to turn back, and the opponents of the plan were already triumphantly pointing out that this Utopian experiment had "failed, as they had predicted. Failed because of the distance of the region from Europe, because of the geological nature of the. soil, because of the plagues of insects and malaria and, last but j not least, because of the unadapt- j ability of the degenerated smalltown Russian Jews for pioneer work. Well— today a real city stands in Birobidjan; a city equipped with schools, hospitals, public buildings and a theatre, and connected with Moscow by a direct express train. Although the official program calls for the settlement there of over & hundred thousand Jews in the next three years, the authorities must make a careful selection of prospective settlers, so large Is the number of Jews who want to go there. I have received numerous letters from Birobidjan, and have spoken to a good many people who had just come from that region. No one denies that life still is difficult there. But no one can deny that the hardest work has been done, and that the supposed Utopia has become a reality. The Socialist Jewish Republic of Birobidjan exists. It stands firmly on its foundations.

what it meant. "A famine," said the child; pronouncing the final 'e', "Is a Papa and a Mama and a lot of little children." One of the rabbis tells of visiting a former classmate who Introduced him from the pulpit of the Religious School Assembly as his friend and colleague. "Children,." ho said, "could one of you tell my friend here the story of Abraham?" Immediately a little boy volunteered—"Abraham had a little girl,—" he began. "You mean a little boy," corrected the visiting rabbi. The child rose to his full height In indignation, and cried out* "What do you know about it? Tou don't go to our Sunday School, do you?"
Many are the interesting anecdoes about various Jewish holidays. Herewith are reprinted a few: Karly in March when the discussion of Purim was just beginning in a certain religious school the rabbi asked the question: "Children, what good" Jewish, holiday are we -to celebrate soon?' Ho was quite taken back "When several small. voice3 responded simultaneously. "St. Patrick's Bay." The. other Jewish holidays, especially Hanukkah, lend themBelves: to unconscious humor on the part of the children. One of the rabbis told of a child In his school , (an unusual .case of course) who had been guilty of •.celebrating Christmas,, and who ,noticed a tree similar to his own In the home of the Christian .neighbors. "See, Mother," he cried, "by the goyim it's Christmas, too." . ' •*rl" Another story centers about the.Hanukkah Menorah. The rabbi had entered the kindergarten class, and in the hope of giving a lesson in altruism had pointed to the "Shamas" and explained how that candle imparts light to all the others without losing any by giving It. He asked the class "Can you think of anything that you have: that you can give to jsomeone else • and still have as much left as you had before? ,There were the usual childish and naive replies, until one little boy .waved his hand wildly, and blurt.ed out, "I know, Rabbi, measles." • What Is a Famine? . ! Misunderstanding of words forms the baBis for a number of the anecdotes which have come to the attention of the correspondent recently. One of the teachers wrote of telling the story of the Famine in Egypt. To make Bure that the class knew the meaning of the word "famine," Bhe wrote the word on the blackboard and asked one little girl
Abraham's forebears Another youngster, hearing the story of Abraham and his forebears for the first time, said to the teacher, in a puzzled manner, that he hadn.'t known that Abraham had kept wild animals. Even the word "Rabbi" is misconstrued by some of the future leaders of our faith. One child, when asked what the "Rabbi" stood for, in the case of his own congregational leader, replied that "Rabbi" was his Christian name. Many of these Incidents have their origin in the kindergarten classes. In a suburban town one of the children of this age was listening to a rabbi broadcasting his services. The rabbi recited the Shema, and the little girl turned to her mother and said, "Why Mother, the Rabbi must be going to bed." Kosher Fairy Tale One of the rabbis asked a group of kindergarteners whether they would like to hear a Jewish fairy tale. Upon being answered in the affirmative, he asked which one they rreferred, and one child spoke up, "The one about the three little pigB." Another rabbi, dropping in to visit bis smallest class, was told by one child that he had learned the first Commandment. "That's fine, let me.hear it," said the rabbi. And the Commandment was forthwith triumphantly shouted out: "I am the Lord—by God!"
Golden Hours? In a group of somewhat older children, a hymn containing the expression "Golden Hours", was being taught. Wishing to ascertain what significance the phrase had for the -children, the rabbi asked saveral of them to define it, "Golden hours" were said to refer to those ol love, of friendship, and so forth. Finally one small boy declared: "To me, golden hours are breakfast, dinner and supper." Not Her Typo = • One of the Metropolitan rabbis reports the following incident: The teacher had been talking about Moses. She noticed a little girl in the back row playing slight attention and talking to those around her. "Whereupon the teacher reprimanded the child and ended by saying, "I'm sure that Mosea would not have liked a little girl like you," to which the youngster replied in a disdainful tone, "Oh well, he's not my type either." The story of Joseph's misfortunes made a great impression upon one small boy who grieved over it for some time. The following year the class reviewed the story and this time the same pupil.was not in the least concerned. When he was asked by his mother why he had worried so the year before over Joseph's troubles, and why he was so untouched this year, the chiid replied, "Well, Joseph should have known better the second time." A Bible A Year In another claES the children were asked how many of them had Bibles in their homes. With the exception of one child, every hand went up. The rabbi asked this one whether he had no Bible in his home, and the child replied shamefacedly, "We have one, Rabbi, but I don't think it's much good. You see, it's last year's edition." .Another Union correspondent writes of a small girl who was sent to his study for misbshaving. He noticed her walking up and down before his door, and he called out, "What's up?" The child, startled, replied, "Nothing's up. Everything's down, including the stock market."

As t h e Rosh Hashonnh 11011day8 roll around again me pause once more t o review t h e nchievements of our Jewish representatives in the biggest entertainment field of all-the motion pictures. Bnd right here i t may be said that there i s no reason t o confine our attention t o t h e screen - 8 h r s only, and to dismiss with t h e customary deprecation the Jewish film producers, sometimes jeeringly referred t o a s the cloakmakers of Hollywood. Not many of t h e oldtime:: who a quarter of a century and more ago left their cloak-and-suit fattories t o turn to the cinema remain in Hollywood today. Some have retired, voluntariIy o r forcibly, and others have gone on to some super-collosal heaven where every cloud has a silver screen of its own. B u t a s me t u r n our gaze upon t h e year t h a t has just rolled by under the sunny skies of Southern California. let u s a t least remember t h a t i t was those Jewish manufacturers who. leaving .prosperous businesses in the East to build u p a then infant industry. by their untiring efforts reared i t t o i t s present position a s a n indispensable. magnificent super-colossal pillar a n d -yes of America's entertainment edifice. But film magnates, n o matter how hard they work o r how successful they are. cannot compete with t h s film s t a r s in t h e essential .quality of glamor. If you have read Alva Johnson's "The Great Goldmyn." for example. you may come td view him a s a very human sort of person whom it is quite possible to admire: but have you ever seen any young lady ( o r a n old one, f o r t h a t matt e r ) gazing soulfully a t a photograph of Samuel Goldwyn or David Selznick o r Joseph Schenck of any of the Warner brothers? Neither have we. So i t might be better to drop t h e producing end of the industry for t h e time being. and turn t o the Jewish glamo r boys and girls of 5697. Having made this good resolution for the New Year, we shall immediately proceed t o break it. F o r xhatever we may say about t h e gentleman whom me have picked a s t h e outstanding Jewfsh scrren figure of the year, me can hardly call him a glamor boy. W h a t makes Paul Muni stand out above so many of his colleagues is, indecd. the fact that he needs n o glamor buiI0-up to make t h e public appreciate his acting. I n his old Second Avenue days, a s hluni Weisenfreund. he invested even minor roles with that unclefinable something which made E a s t Side housewives and their

i f
But glamor and good acting are by no means incompatible, a s you can see by taking one good look a t the lady v h o shared Muni's Motion Picture Academy honors. Luise Rainer was given t h e award for her work in "The Great Ziegfeld." and, just t o prove to a n eager public that two stars a r e better than one, also shared in t h e above-mentioned plaudits of millions inspired by T h e Good Earth." Surely an nmazing r x o r d for a young AUStrinn Jewish girl who came to this country only a fern years ago. But for Miss Rainer herself. we think, the most important event of t h e year was something quite undelated to her public' life as a n inspirar of vague yearnings in the hearts of the male population: F o r in 5697 -shc was married, and to none other than Clifford Odets, t h e brilliant young Tewish playwright whose "Awake and Sing" a n d "Waiting for Lefty" made history on Broadn-ay two years ago, and who now has migrated t o the Pacific Coast, whence he has already sent out "The General Dies a t D a w " to the waiting world. Under the glamor heading we may also list Norma shearer and Leslie Howard, whose "Romeo and Juliet" thrilled t h e millions last year. But the glorious first run of thfs film was marred by tragedy-the death of Its bril-

"The Life of Emile Zola." h e may well expect the gratitude of all Jews, . in America and everywhere else, for in i t i s recalled t h e tragic story of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, whose Jewishness caused him to be chosen a s t h e victim of a plot that would have succeeded had not the g r e a t .

Robinson. whose tough manager i n "Kid Galahad" upheld his bad-man tradition: 31 a x i e Rosenbloom. who is taking his screen career so seriously that h e has been turning down fight offers, lest his handsome features lose their matinee-idol quality; to make a brief digression jnto the field of auditory entertainment. we must also mention Gertrude Berg. who has announced her return t o radio with "The Rise of the Coldbergs" this month. and who has written a screen play for Bobby Breen. another of radio's gifts to movieland; and then, of course, there a r e t h e BIarx Brothers, without whom no H o l l ~ ~ o oyear d would be complete. These a r e only a few of the Jewish screen actors who have made t h e year 5697 notable in the cinema world. But films cannot live by stars alone. So let us remind you t h a t i t was in this past year that S. J. Briskin Of RIiO rose to prominence a s a producer; Adolph Zulior received a silver plaque in honor of his twenty-fire years of service t o the film industry; Jesse L- Lasky became associated wit- RKO a s a producer; not to mention all the splendid achievements of Warner Brothers ' and Bfessrs.

PARIS Seventeen years of unique serrice to the Jewish people were given distinguished recognition by the French Government when i t created David J. Schmeitzer Chevalier of t h e Legion of Honor. Mr. Schweitzer is the stoutish, brown-eyed, smiling man who sits In t h e quiet office of t h e American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee on the Rue d e Teheran and controls the pursestrings of American Jewry's work (or its less fortunate brethern in Central and Eastern Europe. During t h e years since t h e war, by conservatice estimate, fifty milIion dollars have p a s s e d through Mr. Schweitzer's capable hands and been distributed i n a dozen lands to support scores of raried institutions abiding the Jews to continue their desperate fight for suri'ival and obtain footing on the shifting grounds of a troubled continent. To a task requiring varied abilities, a knowledge of practical social work. a good working background of practical economics, understanding of human nature - all these combincd with financial acumen and administrative capability, Mr. Schweitzer applies a mind trained in many schools, equally a t home i n t h e spheres of social work and finance, for fn both these separate fields he served with distinction until, in the post of Financial Administrator of t h e J. D. C. he found a task which combined the requirement2 of both. Came To C .S At 5 A native of Russia, 3Ir. Sch. weitzer was brought to America a s a lad of five. He took his Doctorate of Philosophy in Social Sciences a t Columbia and wen1 on t o graduate from the New Yorl; School of Philanthropy. As a qualified social worker Mr. Schweitzer acted a s principal of a workmen's college, head 01 Fellowship House, i n New York and with the N. Y. Association for Labor Legislation. H e studied statistics and ac. counting, a n d f o r a time served the Xew York Public Servicc Commission as statistician and accountant. Returning to social work, he combined his talents in both fields a s head of the Budget Department of the ~ e York w Federation of Philanthropic Societies. I n 1920, Mr. Schweitzer left America for foreign fields a s representative of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, When the J. D. C. ceased to function in the field through official and semi-official agencies such a: the American Relief Administra tion and planned to carry on its own work, on t h e basis of its own plans and through i t own agenc. ies, i t decided on a set-up com. pletely severing the financial and functional departments. Mr. Schweitzer was appointeci Financial Administrator, with a thoroughly trained staff. The d e partments of the J. D. C. charged with conducting the work in the field were rclleved of t h e respon. sibilities of handling finances; once their budgets were approved Mr. Schweitzer and his aides did tllc rcst, while the functional dc. partments concentrated on thelr own work. To complete t h e coordination a n d t o d v e t h e financial administrntion t h e opportmity to ex-
press its views on the various budgets, Mr. Schweitzer was named to the European Executive Council which he is now vicepresident. Studies Situation at First-Hand But Mr. Schweitzer's activities a r e not purely administrative. They have brought him into practically every country of Europe where he has studied the situation a t first hand and has exerted a n important influence in the laying down of policies to be followed. During his travels, he has acquired personal insight not only into the various local aspects of the Jewish sitlation but equally important - into the mentality and make-up of the people with whom the J. D. C. vorks and through whom i t helps Jewry to help itself. I n their negotiations with Mr. Schweitzer, those people have Eound him sympathetic and eonciliatory, willing t o see their point of view, but, nevertheless. firm when firmness i s called for. 2 strong b e l i e ~ e rin the effiacacy )Z conciliatory methods.

Shuns Spotlight Appearances a r e deceiving. The ?miling face behind the big desk tnd the apparently lassitudinous 'igure camouflage a powerhouse. Schweitzer's drive a n d energy in nandling a n emergency o r in completing some task a r e a continu31 surprise to those who know him well enough to know bctter than to be surprised by anything that he accomplishes. The reason is t h a t he has a strange fear of the spotlight. You can "include him out" of the headlines. He prefers to work quietly, in the shadows, so to speak, rather than under Iileig lights. He can put a big cigar in the corner of hls mouth and talk like a hard-boiled esecutive. Sometimes he does. Or h e can drop the role of auditor and administrator and talk with understanding and deep feeling on the problems of Jewish relief and the position of the six million Jews of Central and and Eeastern Europe with whose existence t h e J. D. C. is so vitally concerned. Surveying t h e Jewish position in Eastern Europe with t h e eyes of a trained social worker and economist, he sees the problem as one requiring economic aid, assistance to these Jews in maintaining their existence, in making possible their existence today so t h a t they m a y build for tomorrow and as requiring maintenance and strengthening pressure of current conditions. Face Present Problems, His Motto We must consider the problem as it i s today, h e says, and while we may work with a n eye to the future, the essential problem remains to make continued enistence of East European Jewry possible. "The Jewish situation In Poland, Roumanis, and other East European countries," he said in an Interview here recently," continues for political reasons particularly bad. The fact that the economic structure of the Jewish populations still leaves much t o be desired, cortributed to this stote. Whrrt the Jewish populntion of these counlries is going through today is a s bad. if not worse than, t h e situation of the jcws in~nicdiatclyafter the War. with the differcnce that a t that time there was hope that a s time went on the conditions would improve and their situation would be bettered. "Today." h e continued, "this hope is fading, and institlltions built u p largely at the beginning with thc aid of the 'Joint', and :arried on later almost â&#x201A;Ź X C ~ U S ~ V ~ y by t h e Jews of t h e rarfous :ountries. are beginning to Crum-, >]e and totter a t gradually, but

"Labor must act as a unit In each given industry," he proclaimed, "and, in the process, learn to look upon industry as a matter of vital concern. . . . Labor must become Industry conscious."

Jews from Germany have already been admitted to Palestine since 1933. As for the Jews who will remain in Germany, Dr. Prinz said that approximately 200,000 are above the age of fifty. They are resigned to their fate and wait for death to solve their problem. One out of every four Jews in Germany is maintained by welfare agencies, whose funds are provided chiefly by the Germany Jewish community itself, according to Dr. Prinz. He said that the Jews in Germany supply the largest share of the relief funds. Describing the effects of the TCazi restrictions upan Jewish life in Germany, Dr. Prinz remarked that Iho situation of the Jews there must be viewed objectively.

Prinz asserted. The German Jews regard Palestine not as an academic question, but as an urgent issue involving the salvaging of human life. For this reason the Jews in Germany have taken the position that partition must not be rejected categorically, but that political negotiations should be conducted with Great Britain and the League of Nations on the basis of extending the boundaries of the proposed Jewisli state and including the Negev and New Jerusalem and obtaining other concessions held vital to a Jewish

By Melvin'M. Fagen One of the most important and -significant bookB Bince Graetz's voluminous "History of t h e Jews" has just been published in JTew York by. the Columbia Press. The book, by Prof. Salo W. Baron, is here given a brilliant, analytical review by Mr. Fagen, cscretary of the Conference on Jewish Relations. The review is exclusively published by. the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and the Jewish Press.—Editor. Each age, someone has -wisely said, writes its own ' history of those that have gone before. The past is not a buried chronicle to be pieced together by scholarly detectives; it is a story we create out of those sources and ascertained facts which for our time are regarded as significant. .And since history is creation, it cannot help but reflect the problems and the purposes of those who In any age share in its recordIng. Professor Baron, who occupies the chair of Jewish history, literature and institutions at Columbia university, has written for our day a history of the Jews •which not only brings together the findings and the weight of the latest scholarship, but applies, to the problems of Jewish history the light of modern social and economic -knowledge. The distinctive value of this book, the quality which sets it apart" from the others which have been written on the subject, is that it treats Jewish history in properly sober perspective as an indivisible part of the history of society as a whole and that it regards Judaism not as a mystical creed but as a functional social development. Baron is uaable to accept what he calls "the lachrymose conception of Jewish' history, viewing the destinies of the Jews in the diaspora as a sheer succession of miseries and persecutions." This idnception which was even held By such a master as Zunz still lias £ strong.hdfld on the popular mind- "Ki-e great vvalue of Baron's work is that it does not treat Jewish history in the homlletical style—as a sermon.-or a moral lesson—nor as an apologetic or

The government has segregated Jewish children and placed them In a sort of ghetto school. It has limited their admission to secondary schools, and closed to them the trade schools. In the universities campaigns of terror are kept up against Jewish students who are not ghetto Jews, do not wear the traditional garb and hardly ever speak Yiddish. On the contrary, they are modern young people whose language is Polish and whose cultural interests are no different from those of any other educated Pole. Even university students of Jewish descent who have embraced the Christian religion are attacked almost daily for refusing to sit on separate ghetto benches in the lecture rooms.

But whatever its intention, "The Pretender" is reading as absorbing and as stimulating as many seasons have provided. In "A Time to Remember" Leane Zugsrnith continues her obeisance to the white collar proletariat. She combines a simple style with facile characterization. She deals with the plight of human beings with compassion and V. sincerity. Her novel bears none ,1 of the doctrinnaire marks which the Leftist critics would appreciate from Miss Zugsmith. Any' : : thing that Miss Zugsmith writes is assured of a thorough and appreciative reading from at least this reader. Fortunately, thousands of others are getting to her work. Would literature have suffered an irretrievable loss if none of these fiction and non-fiction books had been published during the past year? With the exception of perhaps three, the answer is no. But since people, when they open a book,' are not concerned with whether their grandchildren will still be reading the volume but with whether they themselves will enjoy it the list of twenty is about as imposing as could be selected, with individual idiosyncrasies being admitted. CHOICE OF V-S ENGINE SIZES enafeSes you t© sslect cither E5-horsepower by compulsion of Jewish leaders several years ago. The-choice of ten really worthwhile fiction books published in America during the past year is even more difficult. To lump them all together is to intimate that they are of timeless value. That would be untrue. Nevertheless, the list is:

New Year's Edition—THE JEWISH PKESS—Kosh Haslionali 569S—Fridav, September 3, 1937

. (Continued from page 3.) forms. In the • new cabinet that lative measures to deal with took office after coronation Lesthem, "while the Jewish community was obliged to institute unprecedented counteractivitiy . in the form of self-defense organizations, good will movements and a concerted propaganda undertaking. Imprisonment of a number
. of Fascist leaders, dissension in the Mosleyite ranks, failure of the Blackshirts to erect a single candidate to the London County Council, the militant and consistent opposition of virtually every important public figure to antiSemitism and Fascism and the innate British hatred of bigotry
and racial persecution kept the Fascist movement -within bounds. The sensational , abdication of King Edward VTII and the coronation of his brother, King
George "VT, overshadowed all other developments in London last year. Fears that Mosley might exploit Edward's abdication and rumors that Mrs. Simpson and the King "were sympathetic to Nazism .were quickly proven groundless. .The new monarch gave all signs . 'of maintaining the British royal
tradition of friendliness to the Jews. While Jews of the Empire outdid themselves in observing the coronation, George "VI elevated three Jews to' the House of JLordE, accepted the patronage of
fhe Jewish Orphanage, received an address of loyalty from a Jewish delegation and distributed a number of high honors to prominent Jews. His first public message- as King was addressed to a Chanubah meeting of the Jewish ,"War Veterans, and the first lawlie signed was the bill outlawing jthe -wearing of Fascist uni-
lie Hore-Belisha, who had previously been given full cabinet rank as a vivid rebuke to antiSemitism, was named Secretary for War. Internally the Jewish community was exercised over the critical Palestine situation. As an earnest of its concern over the distributing rumors of major changes in the status of Palestine English Jewry united on a single ticket of delegates to the Zionist Congress. London continued to be the scene of vital meetings and conferences of Jewish leaders from abroad. Relief activities for Poland and Germany wers pursued with the usual generosity, while aid for the German refugees in England was continuel. The coming into effect of a new Sunday closing law interfered little with legitimate JewishSabbath observing merchants, because of special provision for them. Failure to agree on the proposed reorganization of the Joint Foreign Committee treatened to split the Jewish Board of Deputies, and with it the entire Jewi3h community, into two warring factions.

JEWI8H WEATHEU REPORT: Persistent and threatening clouds. Spared any serious outbreaks of violence, Roumanian Jewry nevertheless lived through a twelve-month of terror, boycott, intimidation, discrimination and steadily aggravted economic paralysis. Long a plague-spot on the Jewish map. Roumania wa3 beset last year by a series of internal political crises from all of which the Jews were inevitable sufferers. The elimination of Nicholas Titulescu as foreign minister gave free rein to the Nazi and Fascist elements in the government. The Iron Guard, which is legally proscribed, continued to function as a government within the government, threatening the King and cabinet members with death unless theiy orientated the government toward Germany. Permier Tatarescu's fearful tolerance of the Iron Guardists allowed them to terorize the Jews in the provincial towns and village. On one occasion 200,000 anti-Semites demonstrated in Bucharest under the benign eye of the government. The Iron Guard, however, overreached itself, and upon the insistence of King Carol the government bore down on the Nazis, closing their headquarters, arresting many of their leaders and taking steps to suppress antiJewish disturbances in the universities. But before long the Iron Guard again showed that it was stronger than the government, and it resumed its propaganda and violence by taking advantage of the split between King Caroi and his brother, Prince Nicholas, allying itself with the latter. Only the militant antl-FasClst policy of the National Peasant Party and the failure of the dozen or more Fascist and antiJewish parties to unite under a single leadership saved Roumania from a Nazi coup. The government itself, however, did nothing to stem the systematic exclusion of Jews from the professions and trades. Indeed, it encouraged local authorities to disfranchise thousands of Jews on trumped-up charges of illegal residence or lack of necessary documents. A move for the mass disfranchisement of Jews in Bessarabia was blocked by threats to invoke the minority treaties. Nevertheless many Jews were deprived of citizenship by the harsh interpretation of administrative regulations. T h e government also manifested a surprising opposition to Zionism, banning a Hechalutz conference and many Zionist meetings. The B'nai B'rith activities in Czernowitz were also curbed. By and

Predictions made at the beginning of the Spanish civil war that victory for the Fascists would spell the doom of the Jewish settlements in Spain and her colonies have been more than borne out by the year*3 events in Spain. Wherever the rebels have been in control Jews w e r e tortured, blackmailed, expelled and shot. Virtually the entire Fascist press in Spain has thundered with antiSemitic outbursts, blaming the Jews for every setback suffered by the rebels.

The other misapprehension concerns the intensity and duration of the antiSemitic movement in this country. It would be comforting to Imagine that it la an evanescent phenomenon; that it will blow over. But the cold facts are that this prejudice has been so deeply implanted, is being cultivated and organized on so vast a scale, and is so inseparable from and indispensable to reactionary politics and economies, that its automatic disappearance or even diminution is impossible. Xo, antiSemitism cannot be ostriched out of existence.
