Zionist Head Believes Hitler Seeks Death of Jewry

• . . • • - .

Palestine Only Refuge Emphasizing that it remains to be seen "whether the Jews, primarily the Jews of America, are ready to make the sacrifices necessary for the saving of the Jews to the same extent that Hitler is bleeding Germany to destroy the Jews." -Dr. Goldman said that "I am more convinced than ever before that, though temporary refuge in other lands is essential for the hundreds . of thousands ot Jews now being driven across the continent like terrorized sheep, it ia only the permanence of the Jewish homeland in Palestine • that can give to most of them and to the others who will follow a secure state for a peaceful life. ' Dr. Goldman asserted t h a t "Arab gangsters and guerilla bandits, fighting under the protective guise of nationalist slogans, are trying to undermine the great structure that Jewish initiative, capital and manpower have erected in the last 20 years. But it is Berlin and Rome, intent on embarrassing London and at .the same time on undermining, the great enterprise of the Jews, that are giving the ATab terrorists both the encouragement and the material support. I am hoping to convey to America t h e truth about the struggle now going on in Palestine." It is a struggle that •will determine whether the Jewish people, fighting against the seemingly overwhelming odds set up against them by all the resources of Germany and now of Italy, will be able to save the one place in the world to which the homeless and the uprooted among - them may go for security and peace." ' . Heady to Fight The difference between Vienna and Palestine, Dr.. Goldman said, • is that in Palestine Jews "courageously fight for their Tights and are prepared to die, if necessary, in their defense. There is injury and sorrow in Palestine but no insult and humiliation. The sufferings in Vienna are aimless and, therefore, unbearable; the trials of Palestine are the throes of rebirth, and therefore borne painfully but gladly." The Zionist president pointed out that the Jewish community in Palestine "could easily come to terms with the Arabs if it were only their own lives and possessions they wished to save. But Palestine Jewry recognizes that it is for the rights of hundreds of thousands of Jews outside of Palestine that it fights, while it loses some of its finest ones and daughters. In Warsaw. Vienna, Prague, Italy, Jewish leaders pleaded: Taka away our thousands! In Tel Aviv, Ain Hashofet, Raanaana. They importuned: Bring your thousands! The heroism that is being displayed daily in Palestine should arouse American Jews to a new sense of admiration in the discovery that a Jewish type has been moulded in Palestine, comprising men and. women who do not yield to oppression and attack, but fight back honorably and bravely regardless of the consequences to themselves."

icy against. Jews ia Europe by Fascist powers which have also "featured Arab opposition to the Jewish National Home in Palestine,'" the British Trade Union Congress meeting in Blackpool unanimously adopted a resolution in which it urged Great Britain" to carry out its obligations under the Mandate ©nd open wider the doors of Palestine to the Increasing army of Jewish refugee wandering over the face of Europe In search of a home. The resolution referred to Italian proposals for facilitating Jewish settlement in Ethiopia but characterized that country "as obviously unsuitable for colonization." Deplores Oppression The Trade Union Congress deplored the continued oppression of Jews which, it said, has been "greatly Intensified by th© appalling peifeecution in Austria and accentuated by the expulsion of Jews from Italy.". In view of these circumstances, the Trade Union Congress declared that It is more imperative than ever that, "opportunities: for th© admission of Jewish refugees into Palestine be created In accordance with the principle of-tbe absorptive capacity ot the country." The following is the text of. the resolution adopted by the British, Trade Union Congress: "The British Trade Union Congress, expresses its profound "sympathy to the victims of Fascism who, owning to their religion, politics and race, have been driven from their homes to seek refuge in more hospitable countries and expresses its abhorrence of the continuance of the repression of Jews. The tragedy of German Jewry has been intensified by the appalling persecution in Austria and accentuated- by the expulsion of Jews from Italy. Fascist governments have accompanied this repressive policy with fostering Arab opposition to the Jewish National Home in Palestine. Under these circumstances it feas become more urgent than ever that Great Britain carry out her obligation under the Palestine Mandate. The Italian proposals for facilitating Jewish settlement in Abyssinia which Is. obviously unsuitable for colonization, makes It more imperative than ever that opportunities for the admission of Jewish refugees into Palestine be created in accordance with the absorptive capacity of the country."

Tel Aviv ("WNS-Palcor Agency) —For the first time since the crash of the Royal Dutch airliner In Batavia in which he suffered cuts which threatened to put an end to his brilliant career as a violinist, Bronialaw Hubermann, founder of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, will give a recital soon on the occasion of the opening oi tae new season of the. orchestra of refugees which, he organized two years ago. It was. announced at a press conference with Mr. Hubermann today that the orchestra which was formally-inaugurated under the baton of Arturo'. Toscaninl in December 1936, had given a total of 175 concerts during the two years of its existence, with audiences totalling more than 270,000 persons. A number of leading Jewish musicians from Austria have joined the Palestine Sym phony Orchestra.

Urge Doctors to Consider Refugee Problem in U. S.

Melbourne (JTA) — The possibility that 5,000 Jewish Immigrants may be permitted to enter Australia during the current year was admitted officially to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In reply to a query concerning rumors that the Australian Government was considering a more liberal policy on the question of Jewish immigration, the Interior Ministry issued the following statement: "The Australian Government has. agreed that during . the current year 5,000 is the approximate number in. all classes of Jew|3n applicants which might be possibly approved. This estimate does not apply particularly to refugees, but would also include Jews whose admission was applied for; by guarantors in Australia." .The statement reveals a modification In the Government's previous attitude, since permits issued in all categories had never exceeded 1,000 in a yean It is believed the Government's plans envisages admission of 50,000 Jewish immigrants during the nest two years. Coincident with this disclosure, the Australian Jewisk •Welfare Society issued an sppsal to Australian Jewry to raisa $250,000 to .meet the problems of increased immigration.

State of Victoria Denies Labor Is ew* Melbourne (\*-NS) — Disturbed fcy the increasingly anti-alien tone'of the Australian press, the government of the State of Victoria issued a special statement categorically denying rumors that Jewish immigrants were slashing the wages of sweated labor. Publication of the statement coincided with the appearance of cartoons in The Age and The Herald depicting streams of immigrants entering Austaralia while immigration officials stand by indifferently. The Argus printed two' anonymous letters, one accusing Jews of cutting wages of sweated labor, and the other demanding a ban on "indiscriminate Jewish immigration."

For the New Year

RosH Hashonah 5699 is born 'midst a dismal vale of tears and blood . . . . Governments have adopted Jewish-exterminating policies, endless tales are repeated of economic discrimination and physical persecution, of spiritual suppression and barbaric cruelty - . .hearts ache at the depths to which medieval inhumanity has sunk. But the Jewish New Year conies opportunely . . . a well-spring of spiritual courage and dauntless faith. Rosh Hashonah exemplifies the lesson of the centuries . . . the inevitable triumph of righteousness. In their journey through the desert of life for almost nineteen centuries, the people of Israel breathed the philosophy and idealism which re-

flected eternity, by -which the nations of the earth' were gradually educated to a knowledge of God and morality. They survived paganism, polytheism, Hellenism - - persecutions &nd tortures - - fire and sword . . . they lived on insmort&lly, while their oppressors perished from the earth. " Rosh Hashonah symbolizes this deatthleasne»» of our hope s.nd faith. la Obsidish's inflexible •.riumph of righteousness over wickedness 1* written the psalm of .Israel's life . . . ever seeking the harmonies of the families of the earth, at peace and united in brotherhood and the common idealism of righteousness.

Therefore, if it is true, as Emerson cays it is, that a man who learns another language than his mother tongue is twice a man, it must be equally true that, by so .much as'our sympathies for the submerged atid afflicted are underptandlagly enlarged, by so much do we add real cubits to our spiritual stature.

The epical saga of the Jewsh people weaves a pattern of history into which is intertwined the lives of all nations... demonstrating that no people live unto themselves alone. So, too, itis with the individual... no man Eves unto himself alone. No man goes through life unseen... his success or failure depends upon the social and business contacts of his daily life. The Nebraska Clothing Company is devoted to prepare man to appear well in the eyes of the world and to look his best in his relations with his feHow-men. Faultless-fitting clothes in quality fabrics not only make the man, but also give him a sense of wdl-being, assurance and confidence. On Rooh Hashonah we sincerely hope that the Jewish people shall continue to contribute so richly to the culture and advancement of the nations wherein they dwell. For.the.future as in the past the Nebraska Clothing Company with incomparable values and unexcelled selection of styles is dedicated to the art of fine appearance and personality in clothes ..... knowing that no man lives unto himself alone.

the direction of a Jewish scholar, and Important finds have already been made. Immovable Goal Looking back over 5698, we see ourselves in a predicament where the chief factoro are beyond our control, and unable to tell when or how we shall emerge from it. Things are in flux, and our destiny is closely bound up with great political developments on which we can exercise but little influence. Yet in fairness to ourselves we must recognize the patent fact that we too are possessed of certain energies which can and will bear on our destiny. The most precious of these are the conviction that the Yishuv is firmly entrenched in Eretz Israel and its invincible determination to retain all that it has won and to enlarge Its footing, come what may. This determination derives not so much from the inner vitality of the Yishuv as from the belief that the Yishuv Is the trustee for millions of Jews in the Diaspora who have no hope but Eretz Israel. This faith in an indissoluble bond between Eretz Israel and the Jewish people, this high sense of responsibility for the Jewish destinies, sustained the Yishuv throughout the old year

and will light it Into tho year to come. We do not know what the New Year •will bring -with It, bat there is always the possibility that we shall arrive at the fateful turn* ing-polnt before it is over. The Yishuv will work until the very last moment to create sew economic and cultural values which will -weigh heavily in our favour. It is fighting tee battle of the •whole Jewish people, for it is the front-}ine of • the Jewish defense against the forces that would destroy us^_ On the threshold of 5699, the Yisfiuv looks to the Diaspora to stand behind it to a man with all.possible moral and material support, so that It may be fully equipped lor the struggle that cannot but end in victory.

Jerusalem (JTA)—The Palestine Agricultural Settlement Association, an ageacy of the Palestine Foundation Fund, is negotiating In Washington for permission to float a $500,000 bond Issue In th© United States, proceeds to be used In finaacing more Jewish colonies In the Holy Land.

Teacfier The year 5698 passes into history TPith a record of ssvage attacks against our people on many fronts. "We here been a people sorely tried. There is this consolation, however, that our enemies have identified their attacks against us with their war against decency, democracy and civilization. •"' Again we have had greatness thrust upon us. We ere" chosen in-the world today to symbolize the Spirit of that religion which emphasizes the supreme value of biiraaB life. All the virtues of modern civilizatioa such as honor, truth, justice, tbe rights of raen and womea, we are tangrbt by the Fascists, owe their origin to Jewish teaching. We proudly and happily acknowledge our responsibility. Since we know that the cause of faurasn rights and ethical religion are eternal, we can be confident that the Jewish people, too, is eternal. Jews, therefore, be strong and of good courage for our Cause is a Cause o£ God £.cd Humanity. —DAVID A. GOLDSTEIN.

League Discusses Large Scale Agricultural Immigration Geneva (WNS)—The question of large scale agricultural immigration to South America -will be taken up by the League of Nations Assembly for the first time, it was announced officially as the 19th meeting of the Assembly got under way here. A p e r m a n e n t international committee on migration for settlement, consisting of representatives of members and selected experts is to be created. It -will be empowered to deal not only •with technical problems but also •with questions concerning the possibility of international financial arrangements to support migration. "W. J. Jordan of New Zealand, acting president of the League Council, opened the Assembly meeting with an expression of gratitude to President Roosevelt for his "practical interest" in helping r e f u g e e s . Promising League support for Roosevelt's efforts, on behalf of refugees,'" Jordan said, "every nation represented here has viewed -with gratitude the practical interest shown by President Roosevelt in the question of refugees. The League surely wishes to do what lies in its power to assist the •work ot rescue. Detractors of the League will not fail to remark that Geneva was not the scene of these events. This prospect will not trouble anyone in thl3 Assembly, where we are all agTeed that the League is •well served by whatever serves peace and cooperation by acts of good faith and neighborly conduct." Palcor Agency reported that that the Mandates Commission's reports on Palestine will probably be placed before the League Council this -week -when Pierre Orts of Belgium, chairman of the Commission, presents the findings of that body's investigation of the workings of the Palestine Mandate.

"Democratic self - government for children," Dr. Mowrer said, "effectively encourages real independence of a kind that probably makes for the development of individuals who are less susceptible of being exploited than those who as children were Intimidated and rendered submissive by autocratic authority.

By RABBI SELIG STARR IWItor's Note:: Among - t h e day's most absorbing topics is the question of assimilation. Philosophers, Christian, a n d Jewish leaders,' journalists a r e debating i t i n p r i n t and on ros• a l u ' t r u m . Here, a Talnmdist, R a b ablt, bi Starr, professor of Talmudic 'ales law a t t h e Hebrew Theological college i n Chicago, .'applies ' a : j lac sharp a n d understanding pen 1, hi' to t h e topic. H e uses a s his •y be springboard a recent article by; buld John Cdnrnos, m a n of letters. 2-ms In the December '37 issue of the Atlantic Monthly, in-his article "An Epistle to the Jews," John Cournos appeals fervently to Jews to become converted to true Christianity. There are in Mr. Cournos' appeal four cleverly concealed insinuations, four highly mysterious hallucinations,. four hidden condemnations of the entire Jewish race. These demand a complete refutation, a vigorous rejection, "a logical Jewish explanation" ' through which the Jewish and' non-Jewish readers1 will observe the baselessness, tactlessness, and shamelessness; of all four accusations. At the- outset, Mr. Cournos writes slightly about the orthodox Jews who, at least till the world . war, "circumcised their males,' prayed with phylacteries on forehead and arm, and fastened niezuzoths on the door • to ward' off evil,"' while he mentions . praisefully the- modern Jews who "avidly grasped at the benefits-' of- emancipation, and who were.in no sense hostile to tb,e idea' of assimilation." He means simply to accuse!or-, thodox'Jews of nursing separatist tendencies," and of revolting rest i of ".their " non-Jewish neighbors. Cunningly, - he insinuates that religious Jews are hostile to the idea'of inaugurating a policy of mutual cooperitian among the • various> races that-dwell within the boundaries of our God-blessed country: . •' .: No. Separation Preached In oirdef to refute this' false-, hood, let us state openly that the religious Jew never' was1 hostile to the idea of political, social, economic, or ' so-called material assimilation; .He .never preached the idea of establishing • closedghettos;'for .each, individual::race. On the contrary, he: would'be the last one to advocate the renewal of such.- racial boundaries. ••; Actually,'he was the" one whofought thqse .evils stubbornly and

One was Harry Danning, ^

playing a bang-up brand of ball as the regular catcher of the New York Giants. The other was Hank Greenberg, the slugging first baseman of the Tigers. Neither performed. Danning acted "as-ibench (warmer-and"- Greenberg, after having . twiddled his thumbs on the all-star bench • In 1937 refused to duplicate such-a "silly" afternoon in 1938 . . . Nevertheless, the work of both of these athletes has kept their respective "teams in the first division all year, Greenberg is once again the formidable slugger for which he earned his rep as "the most valuable man in the American league" in 1935. He'll probably be the 1938 home run king . . Most surprising news, however, has been the comeback of Buddy Myers, dynamic second baseman of the Senators. Myers, who "was valued at $500,000 by Owner Clark Griffith in 1935 when the Yanks wanted to purchase him shortly after he had collected the honors, attendant to a batting king of the American league, had been in a terrific slump that lasted over two full seasons. Through this season Buddy has been up with the first five hitters and; be promises to duplicate his splendid hitting performance of 1935. Milt Galatzer, Andy Cohen and Fred;Slngton are-being "polished up" in the. minors after a few seasons of hard wear in the majors. And, according to the Sporting News of St. Louis, there are more than 200 Jewish ball players in the minors All of these men make up the- contingent that has given baseball the number one position in the snorts race during the past year and who have created a new heritage for future Jews in sport. The dribblers, the passers and the sharpshooters of the basketball court deserve a big hand for their outstanding work this past year. There was a cracker jack Jewish, basketeer on almost every big-time quintet in the country. And when the bids for all-American honors were being distributed there were-four- Jewish atbJetea who loomed as "musts"-on anybody's all-star five. These four were Bernie Fliegel of City College; Saul Nechtem of Boston, university; Mike Bloom of Temple, and Jerry Tarlow of N. Y. V.- Of -course, the record Bet by Jules" Bender In scoring 1,000 points in iour years of consecutive play tras not even, ap-

p.rpached_by-any player during the past season. But the work of Mike Bloom of the Owls was one of the most talked-of performances of the year. Especially after the Jewish player had held the highjy touted Hank Luissetl and his teammates to a standstill in the West's otherwise brilliant invasion of the East. Especially during the past year djd the game of basketball prove so completely dominated by the Jewish athlete. This came about at the A. A. U. selections for its team wh.Ich that organization sent to South America for a three-month junketing tour. Of the nine men sent abroad, five were Jewish. The coach and four of the players. However, to enumerate the brilliant feats of all the "outstanding players would be a really Herculean task. As we said during the court campaign, "the long list of top-notch Jewish basketeers Is restricted only by the boundaries of the game. During the past year they have popped up consistently in the headlines on the Pacific coast, the middle west and the deep south—to say nothing of the tremendous support New York gave its Jewish athletes when they performed in Madison Square Garden. The "Big Ten," the game's most consistent performers during the year, were: Fliegel, C. C. N/Y.; Bloom, Temple; Tarlow, N. Y. U.; Nechtem, Boston Univ.; Babe Patt and Billy Miller, Carnegie Tech; Frankie Rosenbloom, Sid Glickman, Jerry Schneider and Sidney Rabihowitz —all of the A. A. U. The last named composed the quartette of Jewish athletes who along with their mates triumphantly swept the basketball courts of South •America. FOOTBALL At the close of the 1937 football season when we selected our annual J. T. A. all-star JewishAmerican eleven we wrote, "The past • grid, campaign has been a highly suceessfiT year for Jewish athletes on the football field. Not only were there more Jews in moleskins than ever before, but the majority of outstanding elevens in this country boasted of first string Jewish ball players. The achievements of many of these boys at their weekly Sat* urday- pigs'kinrParties- resulted in victdiTesrf or" their teams time and again." And we doubt if you football fans have forgotten the miracles wrought by Marshall Goldberg, the Hebrew Hill Billy from Morgantown, W. Va., as the spearhead of the Panther attack at Pitt university; or the brilliant ©laying of Columbia's triplethreat ace, Sid Luckman; or the resurrection of Frank Merriwell at Yale in. the person of Jewish Albert • Hessberg; .or the AllAmerican'playing standards of further laurels to the 1937 Alabama juggernaut.

Captain Leroy Monsky, who led the Crimson Tide into the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1938, to add tioned above the 1937 Jewish all-American football team comprised such stars as William Luftman of Drake; Alex Schoenbaum of Ohio State; Morris Katz of Temple university; Joe Zimmerman of Centenary; Abe Levine of Colorado, and Hyman Finklestein of Brown. Also listed were such stellar performers as: White, Brooklyn college; Ober, Pennsylvania; Specter, Navy; Canarick, Bucknell; Hirshon, U. C. L. A.; Pollock, California, and 172 other lads who had b e e n recommended by coaches and experts from the four points of the compass as fitting material for such an aggregation. And, for the eighth time in succession a Jewish player appeared in a Rose Bowl championship game . . . The Pigskin parade of Jews in sports that got away to such a grand start when Benny Friedman was the talk of the sports world is still in full stride looking ahead to an even greater season this winter. BOXING . . . The "Big Four" in the Jewish world of sports—baseball, basketball, football and boxing was hard hit -whgn Barney Ross, the lone Jewish pugilistic champion during the year 5698. surrendered his crown in a gallant last-ditch

reetings STOCKS

fight to a younger . and better man- colored Henry Armstrong. Barney's sportsmanship, his ring gallantry and generalship, his ability to punch and take punishment, and his splendid showmanship, all endeared this young man to millions of fans throughout America but t h e s e essential championship c h a r a d e ristics couldn't stave off the exacting price that he had to pay for 12 years of ring warfare. His throne collapsed under him. At the age of 29 he was deposed as a monarch after a brilliant reign in •which he had become the only man in boxing history to hold simultaneously the lightweight, the junior welterweight and the •welterweight : titles.' And when Barney went down to .defeat .the Jewish fans trere without one single champion in any one of the nine divisions of the sport. Something that had not happened during the past 30 years since Abe Attell began the long refgn of Jeish champions by •winning; the feather-weight championship in 1908. However, with hundreds of other young fighters who have been attracted to the sport in the last year there may be a stalwart on the bosing horizon who will rise to the heights scaled by such men as Benny Leonard, Lou Tendler, Izzy Schwartz, Ruby Goldstein, Sid Terris, Masie Rosenbloom or Ted Kid Lewis. And boxing, the most peculiar game in the sports world serins to be managed and promoted rather successfully by Jewish handlers. Mike Jacobs is crowding the late Tex Rickard for the right to be called the greatest boxing showman. Joe Jacobs, Joe Gould, Harry Goldman, Nat Fleisher, Al Weiil. Moron Rosenthai and Art Pian and Sammy "Winch are men who know boiers and who can handle them from the bottom of the ladder upwards. TRACK AXD FIEIiD Two Jewish athletes sailed for Europe at the .beginning of. the summer to participate in invitation meets of the International A. A. U. These Jewish lads were part of a 15-raan group who were rewarded by this European trip as a result of their -consistently brilliant performance in the track and field events. They were .Allan. Tollmich. the one-man track team from Wayne university in Detroit, and Phil Levy, former U.

S. Olympic champ and currently a member of the San Francisco Olympic club. Tollmich is recognized as the world's fastest low hurdler,.while Phil Levy is a fraction behind the world's heave o£ the discus. However, the June issue of the Amateur Athlete, official, publication of the A. A. U.. listed these names as indicative of ciampioDsfeip performances during the 19 3 7-19 38 track and field year: 60-Yard Dash — 3arn Stoller, Michigan. 100-Yard Dash — Marty Gliekinan, Allan Tollmicl;. .110-Yard Low Hurdles—Allan Tollniich, Wayne universitr. . 110-Yard High Hurdles—Sam Klopstock, Standford. - 220 Yards—Sam Stoller.

HORSE RACING AXD BIKE RACING Mauri Rose, voted the Number 1 driver of the American speedways last year, did not turn in such a sterling performance during the past racing grind as he did in the IS36-1937 trek over concrete dirtways, . and saucer tracks of the country. Nevertheless,. Kauri did succeed in finishing ninth at the Indianapolis Speedwsy Memorial day races although he was out of the running

in the second Roosevelt Raceways tournament. Since his race at Indianapolis, Mauri has been piling: up points with monotonous verr.larif.y and should he duplicate bis former victory at the Roosevelt track im New " York tills October, the chances are strongly in. his favor that he would be listed No. 1 driver by the A. A. A. for the second time. At present Mauri is the only top-notch Jewish racinjr driver ir the business. The activities of the Jacobs family t.xxd the KivKh family on the turf r-re rF.nidly becoming America's favorite track gossip. Eva Jacobs owns i'oe horses and Hirsh Jacobs? trains ihem, saddles them—in face all but rides them —and F.P a result has become the top-notch money winner on the American tracks in the past five years. lie has been hiph man throughout the east—wherever his horses ha^'e been run. He has yet to saddle a. winner west of the Mississippi. The Hirsh family—Max. Buddy and Mary—are all trainers and owners in their own vifhtF and present the first racing triumvirate in the world. Mary Hirsh was the first woman trainer in America and the second of her sex in the world. And, like the J~cobs family, theirs is an unbeatable combination. Sammy Kenick, of the Bronx, is still considered one of the best jockeys in America. Along with Charley Kurtsinger, Ira Hanford, Eddie Litzenberger, George Rose, Charley Rosengarten and Joey Renick, Sammy rounds out the biggest septet of money winners and money riders ever seen. Four of the seven listed above have won a Kentucky Derby and all seven have snapped under the barrier first in one of those $35,000 or §50.000 added handicaps and specials at one time or another during the past year. Lou Cohen, Jerry Rodman, Harry Silver and Mitch Yanofsky have been listed as "AmericanHebrew" riders during the past year wherever pedal pushing activities are the main event. However, as lamented in ihis spot last year, a Jewish rider has yet to win in one of these six-day grinds to nowhere. SOCCKK—GOLF—SWIMMING Nothing: that the A. P. S.

As we are now about to usher in a new year, a year concealed as it is to whait its future may have in store for us, we beseech God that it may be a better year, a brighter year, a year of hope and salvation for Israel and mankind. May it bff a year in which Israel will be redeemed in the land of Zion and Jerusalem and may it be so that mankind will redeem itself from the crushing yoke of tyranny and oppression.

The paper declares that several hundred refugees in Terarlberg, just across the S'wiss frontier, were preparing to enter Switzerland, Tvhea the fence was erected. The 2.000 refugees who crossed the frontier previously are now housed in an abandoned textile factory in Diepoldsau over -which they have erected a bi£ sign saj-ing, "thanks to the Swiss people.'"

"The Government regards it necessary," he declared, "to carry out the Jewish law with the utmost strictness not only because it is morally obliged to carry out a law initiated by its predecessors, but also because it is convinced that in doing so it is performing a national service."

The subject of my remarks begs a question. Racial intolerance a menace, to whom? Not to autocracy whether in the ancient form of emperors and dynasts,'or in the modern form of totalitarian • ruleTs or hopeful minorities that count themselves the people for "whom the stars were set in their courses. Divide and conquer . vas the principle upon which the Roman Empire was able : to support its oppressions, unimaginable down to the days of "modern Fascism and Nazism. Did thS Emperor find it difficult to;rule the turbulent Near East, with Egypt and Syria and Anatolia, each potentially stronger than Rome?

But nothing caa depict the situation quit© so well as some of the many letters from children that pour into the Jerusalem bureau of the Youth AIHyah, which is directed by Henrietta Szold, pleading for a chance to go to Palestine. To her are addressed many of the letters. Here is one that is typical: "I Tead in the newspaper about you and thought that you might be able to help me. I feel so terribly lonely. I am the only Jewish boy in this town. I write this letter secretly, without my parents knowing anything about it. How nice it would be if, all of a sudden, I coald get a letter saying: 'You may come to Palestine with the Youth Aliyah.' I should be overjoyed and ray parents would be awfully proud of me.. "You help EO many boys, why not help me?" And the children who have escaped—how do they react? With the extraordinary resilence of children they accommodate themselves to their new homes very quickly. Their letters to

their parents reflect the happiness and joy o£ their new life of freedom. It is one of the greatest tributes to the directors of the Youth Aliyah work in Palestine that there is no dwelling on past miseries among these children; there is only gratitude and joyous determination to become a constructive element in their net? home.

New Year's Edition—THE JEWISH PBESS—Bosh Hashonali 5699—Friday, September 23, 1938' gathering the dollars together for support of the extensive health system which is the backbone of the health work of the country. The New RHUH (RothschildHadassah University Hospital) w h i c h culminates twenty-six years of health endeavor will be completed this fall. With that event the central point of our HMO is transferred from the old inadequately equipped Rothschild Hospital, to the new, modern scientifically planned hospital, nurse3* training school, and medical college building on Mount Scopus. To Hadassah falls the role of carrying forward the accelerated tempo, the great humane task of Teaching, Healing, and Research in our reborn Jewish Home. Youth Aliyah is the task of transplanting and training young boys and girls from Germany, Poland, and Austria into Palestine. This year the Omaha Chapter not only subscribed 5360 additional to the regular quota, but is at present busily engaged in an emergency summer drive which will culminate shortly with enough funds to rescue a number of additional children.

These classes were well attended and were of inestimable value to persons desiring to secure their naturalization papers or to continue their ^education in the United States. ; These classes w i l l continue ^throughout the year and more will be formed whenever 12 or more persons desire to learn English. Any organization must keep growing in order to increase its •; usefulness and the membership committee reported 65 new members for the 1937-38 season, making the Omaha section's new total :-.more than 300 and the Council has every reason to believe that • the fall season will find many new names added to this num... ber. The fund-raising projects of the Ways and Means committee i! were encouragingly successful. .These included the establishing of a Memorial Fund, a rummage I isale and the annual card party. Four young women were granti ed loans by the scholarship comi. mittee enabling them to continue | their education. | The four • study groups were

well attended and most successful in every way. Eighteen classes were held by the International Relations group with an average attendance of 30 members. This group was led by Mrs. Ruth Ne.uhauB. A six weeks' course in gardening was led by Mrs. Fred Grouseman. In co-operation with the Sisterhood of Temple Israel and with Rabbi David H. Wice as leader an inspiring series of classes on Religious Education was held throughout the past year. The Cultural Study group included a 13 weeks' course in child psychology as well as a six weeks' course in personality, both led by Mrs. Mary Fredericks. Thanks to the hospitality committee the monthly luncheons were outstanding and the program committee arranged to bring interesting talent and speakers to each meeting. One of these speakers was Mrs. E. R. Kirkpatrick, who gave a report on the National Conference on the Cause and Cure of "War, which she attended in "Washington, D. C, in January. The Council is represented on the Interdub Council of Omaha and the report of many interesting and worthwhile civic projects was brought to its meetings by the delegates. A number of Council members volunteered, through the community Co-operation to assist the annual sale of Christmas Seals for the Red Cross and responded more than willingly whenever their services were needed. -Without the telephone, publicity and motor corps committee, the Council could not have functioned so efficiently. The courtesy committee welcomed two distinguished visitors to Omaha last year, Mrs. Lotta Marcus, who spoke in behalf of the German Jewish aid, and Miss Dora Tannenbaum, national field worker who was the principal speaker at Council Night at Temple Israel. A reception was held following the services at the temple. The social service committee waB active last year. At Chanukah time this department furnished toys to children of clients of the Jewish Community Center. In January a buffet supper for Council members and their husbands was sponsored by this committee. The redecorating of the ladies' lounge at the- Center is at present being completed and is another of this committee's projects. The year's work was climaxed by a dinner at the Jewish Com-

School Club was very active, holding1 weekly gatherings oa Sunday evenings lor suppers, programs, and parties. The MenV Luncheon Group met weekly, aari the young men and women of tho Congregation convened bi-weekly at Rabbi Wice's home. The highly successful year enjoyed by the Sisterhood has been rported on !n a separate article. An outstanding event in the munity Center which honored the life of the Congergation was that at which Temple Israel was host Junior Council.

the people of, the community at large. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Vaad Ho'ihr was held on December 11, 1937, at which time Rabbi Uri Miller of New Orleans, a former spiritual leader of the Vaad, was the guest speaker. Late Friday evening services are held regularly at the Bnai Israel synagogue. Many special services dedicated to the various organizations that are affiliated with the Vaad were included in the Friday services program. Under the instructorshjp of Rabbi Kopstein,-the Vaad conducts an adult class in Talmud which meets every Wednesday at the Beth Haxnedrash Hagodel synagogue, and a Chevra Ein Yakov, an adult class for the study of the legends of the Talmud which meets daily between Mincha and Maariv at Cong. Bnai Israel. Under the leadership of Rabbi Kopsteln, an adult class for the study of the Bible has met every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. This class has' attracted a great number of ladies in the community who have followed diligently, for a period of several months, a well-planned out course of Biblical studies. A Ladies' auxiliary, a Junior Vaad auxiliary, a Vaad Men's club and a Young Men's Vaad all are actively functioning within the Vaad organization and the United Orthodox synagogues. One of the chief functions of the Young Men's Vaad is the sponsorship of a Father and Son service conducted regularly every Sunday morning at Cong. Bnai Israel. A very important function o! the Vaad Ho'ihr is that of the Meshulochim Committee. This committee distributes funds for the maintenance of the foreign institutions of higher Jewish learning, and sends the funds directly to those institutions thereby eliminating tee sending of collectors to this city. An annual allotment is made by the Jewish Philonthropies for that purpose. The Vaad is actively participating in all communal endeavors such as: The City Talmud Torah, Philanthropies, Jewish Community Center and various other communal welfare agencies.

Beth-El Synagogue The officers of the Beth-El synagogue for the year 5698 were Dave Cohn, president; David Greenberg, first vice-president; Arthur Cohn, second vice-president; Mrs. Harry Lapidus, honorary vice president; A. D. Frank, secretary; Reuben Bordy, treasurer. Under their leadership the congregation gained a substantial increase in membership. Another building campaign was held and $20,000 in cash in pledges was realized. The religious services of the synagogue were well attended throughout the entire year. Cantor Aaron Edgar and the choir

enriched the services with their rssditioa of the traditional prayers. For the cossing year t i e BethEl sysagogue looks forward to a continued increase in members and to the building of the new synagogue building on Fortyninth, ana Farnam streets. With the newly established Bureau of Jewish Education the Beth-El synagogue will crgaaiz© its own three-day a week school for the coming year. It is toped that this school will he at very great value in the Jewish education of our children. Ihe chairman of the school board recently appointed is Dr. Morris Margolin. Mr. Dave Cohn, president of the congregation, is happy to report that Rabbi, Cantor £nd officers worked harmoniously toward the developing ot a loyal, devoted Jewish communal life.

Sisterhood In the Silver Jubilee year ol the National Federation of Sisterhoods, the Sisterhood of Teraple Israel afifis to its historicyears another of accomplihsmeat and development. In addition to the routine of administration, carried on -successfully by the officers of the past two years, three unique endeavors have been brought to fruition. First, there has been accorded the president of the Sisterhood a place on the board of trustees of. the Teiaple, by virtus of the Sisterhood's work with the Sunday school, housing equipment and financial support. The second accoEapilshniCEt was the adoption and printing of a revised constitution, chief innovations of which are: (1) the restriction of the c&oice of new members to the wives, daughters and unmarried sisters of raezabers of the congregation; ( 2 ) a

smaller board with limited term!;; (3) swelling cf the isem&erEfcSp for the first time to over 200 active members. The number of major events launched and managed by the Sisterhood testifies to the healthy co-operation that p r e v a i l e d throughout the season, and the new year begins with every Indication of continued; eEttuciasn and sustained interest in tke many phases of the Sisterhood program. Serving as officers during the past two years were: President, Mrs. Ben Silver; vice-president, Mrs. M. L. Cob. i; treasurer, Mrs. Joseph Weinberg; recording secretary, Mrs. J. M. Newraan; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Bernhardt Wolf; auditor, Mrs. Harry Rubenstela. Incoming officers are: President, Mrs. Bernhsrdt Wolf; vicepresident, Mrs. Sam Gilinsky; corresponding secretary, M r s. Sam Appleman; recording secretary, Mrs. H. A.

By Dr. Louis Finkelstein During one of the most tragic years in Jewish nistory, Judaism has made immense gains. While tne body politic of the Jewish people lias suffered, its spirit has marched on. Dr. Fiiikelstein, provost of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, here reviews the important religions trends ia Jewish life during 5S9S, emphasizing the rise of a new era of creativity in Judaism. —ED. Incredible as It may seem to us, who read each morning continually more horrifying tales of the sufferings of Jews abroad, the year 569S inay ultimately be recorded as marking a turn for the better in the history of Judaism. The initial shock of witnessing one of the most cultured communities in the world degraded by methods of mediaeval barbarism has passed, and once more the Jewish body-politic is displaying its genius for making calamity the instrument for spiritual i development; and like a Proust writ large, is transforming what might appear to be a mortal disease into the means of obtaining deeper insight into Judaism itself and the world. Judaism refuses to yield its spirit to the' superior forces which threaten to consume its body. But with martyr-like spirit, it transfers to the human scene that most dramatic of the miracles of the physical world: the creation of new energy out ol destroyed atoms. Perhaps, no other characteristic of Judaism has contribted as much to its unique place In the history of civilization as this singular quality. The destruction of Babylion. put an effectual end to the development of Babylonian thought; the defeat of athens in the Peloponnesian War marked the close of the creative age in Greek history; the repeated sact of Home by the vandals in the fifty century reduced all Europe to the darkness of the Middle Ages. Not BO in the history of Judaism. The year 5S6 B. C. E-, •which -witnessed the destruction. of the First Commonwealth, also marfced the final conversion of the people to prophetic doctrine; the year 1SS B. C. E-. when Antiochus Epiphanes profaned the Holy Temple, let loose energies, in Judaism which, were to make It a force in a •world-civilization; the year 70 C. E-, when Titus finally burned the Temple and destroyed Jerusalem, witnessed the foundation of the Academy of Yabneh, and with it the final victory o£ Talmudic Judaism. Apparently it is with human groups as it Is with human individuals; the calamities which crush the weak evoke new powers from the inherently strong. Averroes •wrote much of his philosophy behind prison bars; Mairnonides created his life work as a stranger In a strange land. Milton, -whose Muse had almost been silenced by outward success, rose to the Immortal heights of Paradise Lost in his blindeness and the defeat of his party; Walter Scott became a novelist only when he lost his material possessions. The ancient Jewish historians thoroughly appreciated this aspect of their people's genius. The Boots of Judges and of Kings, properly understood, are Eimply chronicles of the manner in which Israel -esponded to suffering, by re-discovering itself. And in several respects of the year 569S indicate that the ancient power still survives among the Jews, and is once more manifesting 'tself. Xew Creativity There is widespread evidence of this. In Palestine, political and economic difficulties n o twithstanding, the resurrection of the Hebrew language and the creation of a neTT center of JeTnsh learning, vritii its focus -at the Hebrew TJniverEity, are accomplished facts. The English Jews, only three hundred thousand in

u. s. TOURIST TO RCICK orr

number, have undertaken important cultural activities, including the stupendous task of a translation of the Talmud. In the midst of their sufferings, the German Jews are still producing literary works of universal significance. And revitalized interest in Judaism is reported also from South Africa and Australia. But perhaps it is chiefly here, in America, that we can discern new signs of creativity in Judaism. They are small ,t - be sure, like clouds no larger than the hand of a man, hut they mark the end of the long drought, and are the harbingers of a new more fruitful period. They indicate the coming of veritable revolution in ocr whole spiritual outlook: the beginning of a firm and vigorous re-assertion of our belief that Judaism is a valid and valuable approach to the problems of human life, a religion in the truest sense, of the word. The dignity and deliberation which marked the proceedings of the various rabbinical conferences held last June and July; the steps taken to bring rabbis, educators, social workers, and writers en Judaism, together for common counsel; the vast increase in the number and size of our study groups; the improved attendance at synagogue worship; the growth in influence of such educational agencies as the Jewish Publication Society and the English-Jewish press; the amazing thirst for authoritative Jewish information on the part of laymen and women cf the community; EH6 the willingness of the professional to provide this i a f o r a a t ion for them; are all indications .of .the new spirit. Tv'ho would hare believed a decade ago that a lecture course in Jewish history so matter hew interestingly presented, could attract a thousand people each Treek? Tv"ho would have thought it possible to bring hundreds of men. and women in small communities to attend s t u dy groups in Bit's, Hebrew. Jewish practices and ceremonies? The re-awakening is limftefi to no special gro"-ip. and is to b© credited to th& work ef no single institution. It offers further evidence that Americas Jtafiaism has come of age. A terrifying taoment in our Mstory lias coxae upon us; and it found us Tvlticrat prophets, indeed, but not without vision. The place of the prophet is taken by the children of the prophfets: the large groups of gifted tesxfcers, the great m^ss oi willing followers, and the organized institutions of Jewish life. There is no Ezra, but tiere are Ena-tacvements; there is no Deborah, but there is an array of Jewish women's organizations, which are becoming increasingly important as forces for the development of the Jewish intellect' and spirit.

Conscientiously the old scholar assembled all the data he could find about the Ten Tribes and wrote them down in a book together with his own plan for transferring their armies to Eretz Israel. This book was written ana published in the Holy City of Jerusalem, may it be rebuilt and restored speedily and in our day, Amen! II. When the scholar-mystic and his odd book came to my notice the other day, I sat down and pondered (for the first time, I must admit) the story of the Lost Ten Tribes. It seems incredible, but the record is clear: The bulk of the Jewish nation—ten tribes out of twelve—vanished utterly from the historic scene with the downfall of the kingdom of Israel. Ten great communities, with

hundreds of thousands of souls, sank into the waters of oblivion and were heard of no more. Refusing to accept so hard a fact the folk imagination wove legends of bestowing a new lease of life on the Ten Tribes in some far country unknown to geography. In olden times there were as many types of Jews as there were provinces in Eretz . Israel Its varied landscapes produced a diversity of Jewish stock. Endowed with sharply contrasted peculiarities of topography and climate, the provinces brought forth human types corresponding to their own varying quality. Yet despite all differences of character and temperament, the tribes were united by a keen national consciousness. All that was lost with the destruction of the temple and the state. The diverse autochthonous Jewish types of Eretz Israel were superseded by the single type of the Galuth Jew; and of the diverse provinces, not a single one was left to the nation. The Jews had become a landless people. III. Now that the Jewish people is returning to Eretz Israel, the lost tribes are being found again. As by miracle, they spring up from the ancient Jewish", soil. In Tel Aviv and Haifa you meet Jewish sailors and fishermen in whose eyes you aaad anxiety, not of the terrors of the Ghetto, but of the perils of the sea. In the villages you see women moving with a heavy peasant tread whom you remember tripping it lightly in high-heeled slippers only a few years ago; and their frank, level glance • has no trace of the old couettish allure. Soon you learn to differentiate the various rural types. You say confidently that this man comes from-Emek Jezreel and that from the Plain of Sharon; that this man ploughs fields with far horizons and that one plants orange saplings where ha does not see the grove for the trees. The unchanging features of a countryside which greet a man's eyes day in day out are bound to leave their Impress on him. Hence each region creates individuals and communities in its own image. IV. Galilee is the topic of the day In Eretz Israel. Everyone . talks of the 300,000 Jews who will be settled on the Syrian and Lebanese borders "to safeguard the frontiers of the Tishub!" But a lew here and there, my humble self among them, rejoice in the revival of Galilee for still another reason: because it produces a sturdy, upstanding Jewish stock of Its own. It has always been so. There is a secret virtue in the air or earth of Galilee which manifests itself in its folk. How it happens, no one knows. The writers of the Bible, the Talmud and ths Midrash, Josephus, Renan, Pierre Loti, Mapu, Frlschmann and Brenner, were all intrigued by the riddle of the Galilean character. The isolation of the province, its fertility, the grandeur of its mountains, and the gentle beauty of its valleys have been Invoked to solve the riddle. Be the origin of the Galilean type what It may, the men of Galilee •have always played a distinctive part in Jewish history. Sluggish, stolid peasants without a thought except for their own clods they seemed and yet time and again they saved the day when the fate

said, for any special or specific purpose within the objects aforesaid, and generally to do any and all things that may be necessary or incidental to the attainment of the aforesaid objects." Membership in the Omaha Council of the Jewish National Fund consists ot all those who hav econtribtited the sum of $2 or more to the Jewish National Fund. The outstanding Junction of the local council ot the current year was the celebration of the 35th anniversary o£ the Jewish National Fund of America. With the auditorium packed to capacity, the stage of the auditorium depicting the gradual growth of Palestine and with the charm and eloquence of Ittaraar Ben Avi, it was indeed a joyous occasion. This was the second time that Ittamar Ben Avi spoke in Omaha and when he finished his masterful and powerful oration, the sum of ?l,500 was subscribed for the purchase of additional land in Palestine. The 35th anniversary was made a special occasion for the purchase of land in upper Galileah. The emergency was a great one, both throughout the country, Jewish people rose to the occasion and many thousand additional dunams of land were purchased. Thanks must be given to Dr. Morris Margolin, chairman c£ the 35th anniversary committee, and his workers for the success of this outstanding affair. While there are many fund raising activities, the raain source of income of the Jewish National Fund Council continued to be from the box collections. In the past year and one-half, we have forwarded to the National offices, the sum of §3,876.72. We are rather proud that here in Omaha, with a community of about 8,000 Jewish families, we have exceeded many communities o£ a greater Jewish population. Operating this year, for the first time since its inception seven years ago, under a constitution and byrlaws, the local council has taken every measure and precaution to unite all constituent Zionist groups within the city of Omaha. It was unanimously adopted by the council that this year no organization be permitted to make any box collections unless official cards are received from the general chairman, of th© box collections. With this procedure, we hope to avoid the embarrassments that have occurred in past years, and to maintain a harmonious attitude towards each other. The office of the local council sincerely appreciate the vrork done by Mrs. M. F. Levinson and her committee for the first box collection. Every effort was made this year to reach every box holder.. The chairman for the serai-annual tirx collection campaign will be Mrs. I. Dansky, who daring the past year has placed many new boxes and who is now arranging the details with her committee for the clearance of the boxes during the latter part of October. This year the local council will place special emphasis upon the Sefer Ha Yeled, which is the children's Golden Book. All those contributing $10 to this fund will be entitled to have inscribed in the Golden Book the name and picture of the child. This is a specially bound book permanently kept in Jurcselein. The planting of trees in Palestine continues to be one of the outstanding functions of the Jewish National Fund. This year, as never before, with the Arab uprising and destruction, the planting of more new trees is necessary- The officers of the Jewish National Fund would like to take this opportunity to invite the members of the Omaha community to purchase such trees for the sum of ?1.50 each, to not only help the rebuilding of Palestine, but also to honor their dear ones by having their names inscribed on the certificate of these tree purchases. The Jewish National Fund is not merely a fund-raising activity, but also an agency which has a definite Zionist philosophy to guide it In Its operation. This year an intensive educatonal program, we hope to create the much needed propaganda for Zionism, for after all, there is only a sharp

When Deborah called for help against the Canaanite oppressor, the Galileans tramped down from their hills and turned the scales of victory. When King David tried to unify his kingdom, they sent him 150,000 soldiers. When Hezekiah called for pioneer settlers for Jerusalem, the Galileans were the first to respond. They were always a fearless folk, those Galileans. The decree of an Antiochus might throw others into a panic, but not them. In the Hasmonean revolt, they drove off the enemy and pursued them into Acco. In their wholehearted loyalty to the Hasmonean line, they rose against Herod and cut his legions to pieces. At the call of the last Hasmonean king they fought desperately for a lost cause from the caves of Sepphoris. The Galileans, says the Talmud, valued honor above all things and despised material possessions. Only from their midst could Judas the Galilean and his Zealots have sprung. Freedom was the one thing they could not live without. Galilee mobilized a hundred thousand men against the mighty Roman empire. When the fighting saints of Jotapata were defeated by Vespasian's mercenaries, their defeat was nobler than many a victory. That something which distinguishes Galilee from all other provinces made Safed a city of mystics who bore the spiritual burdens of the whole Diaspora. In our own day the noblest elements of Halutziuth were developed in Galilee. It was there that Jewish pioneers first became watchmen, shepherds and ploughmen; there that the first experiment in collective settlement— the Kevutza—was made. Now that Galilee is being brought, by the Jewish National Fund, within the area of Zionist settlement, the Yishub watches every step with breathless expectation. What a privilege it was to go up to Hanita! How eagerly the Huleh plans are discussed! In our mind's eye we already see grain fields stretching away to the horizon where now the swamplands produce nothing but malaria. Let dreamers and phantasts go to India to seek the Lost Tribes beyond the River Sambatyon. and the Mountains of Night. We shall remain in Eretz Israel, knowing that we shall find them again in the fields of Galilee.

The second year of Italian rule { in Ethiopia was marked by re- < peated rumors that large scale ] colonization oi Jewish refugees impended but like similar reports concerning Madagascar and Tripoli they never got beyond the rumor stage.

emigres but without the sympathetic cooperation of the government their task would have been impossible. A nationwide spy scare and the extensive operations of foreign propagandists compelled the government to put all aliens under strict police surevillance, to circumscribe the rights in many fields and even to put a curb on the number oi refugees admitted. In principle, however, and generally In fact, France did not depart from Its tradition of hospitality to victims of racial and political persecution. The French delegate to the intergovernmental refugee conference, which was held on French soil, revealed that 200,000 refugees wer© domiciled in France. Wherever possibla the administrative authorities enforced the anti-alien regulations as liberally as possible. Many refugees were given passports to regularire their residence status but continued unemployment ana existing laws made it difficult for them to obtain work. On the other hand the ministry of labor took the initiative in proposing to settle 8,000 illegally resident Jewish aliens on farm3 while the colonial ministry encouraged proposals to open Madagascar and New Caledonia to Jewish immigration.

ber of horrors. At the same time the government manifested its good will toward the Jewish community at the very moment when a renewed wave of anti-Semitism swept over Germany by utilizing the observance of the 22nd anniversary of the Battle ot Verdun to dedicate a monument in memory of the Jewish dead among the French and Allied World War armies. Although anti-Jewish papers increased in number and violence, largely under Nazi inspiration and support, the only overt anti-Semitic act was an outburst of violence by nationalistic students in the Sorbonne directed against Minister of Education Jean Jay, who is of Jewish origin. While attempting to checs this anti-Jewish agitation, the government had its hands full rooting out widespread Fascist plots. The most serious of these was frustrated when the secret police raided the secret arsenals and headquarters of Les Cagotilards and Les Chevaliers du Glaive, French counterparts of the Ku Klux Klan, where evidence of a well-organised plan to overthrow the government was uncovered, implicating many highly placed persons in the army, banking and commerce. An anti-Jewish angle -was also discovered. Fascism also received a setback when the courts declared ol.

Germany JEWISH "WEATHER REPORT: Continuing heavy storms. A shift from the policy of the cold pogrom. — which had succeeded by five years of relentless persecution and humiliation, and with the withering effects of the boycott and process of Aryanization in reducing the once proud, wealthy and powerful German Jewish community to social degradation, economic ruination, political outlawry and cultural and spiritual gnettoization — to a hot pogrom signalized by a new and violent anti-Jewish offensive marked the events of last year in Germany where the Nazi regime began its sixth year. Where the Nazi government's war against Jews had previously been waged chiefly through the social and economic boycott and restrictive legislation, in 5G9S it entered a new phase which required Erasures stronger than the Aryan paragraph, the Nuremberg- laws, the Stuermer propaganda, the ghettos and the boycott. Until the end of 19 37 the ultimate goal of

Nazi anti-Semitism was to, set rid of as maay Jews as possible as quickly s.s possible, but in 19 38 tbis policy underwent a change and the new objective becanse not merely the evacuation of the Je-wrs but mass Jewish emigration without Jewish capital, or emigration after pauperisation. The coming of this new policy was foreshadowed by the virulence of the anti-Semitic outbursts at the annual Nazi party congress in Nuremberg and by the lurid travelling exhibit of antiJewish hatred sponsored by Julius Streicher under the name of "The Eternal Jew." in short order there followed administrative measures, decrees and court rulings making it legal to refuse food or shelter to Jews, forbidding Germans to have Jewish business partners or to bequeath, property to Jews and extending to the entire Reich tne anti-Semitic ordinances invoked by local authorities. Further curbs were promised in a statement by the official National Socialist Pr.rty Correspondence declaring the government's determination to carry through its anti-Jewish program to the very end. They were not long in cornins, for when the resignation of Dr. K j a Iraar Schecht as minister of economic toppled the last slender bulwark against the complete elimination of Jews from trade and industry. anti-Jewish decrees multiplied rapidly, picketing of Jewish shops •was resumed; the amount of raw material and foreign exchange allotted to Jewish manufacturers was progressively curtailed to force them into bankruptcy; the Nurember laws were extended for the first time to business; and government employes were forbidden to paf.rcntze Jewish establishments even when they employed only Aryans who might lose their jobs through the ruic of their employers.

In April, 193S, the Nazis decided on the final liquidation, of Jewish property when. General Goering, as commissar for the four-year plan issued a decree ordering all Jews in Germany, including those of foreign nationality, to register with the government by June 50th all their possessions in Germany valued in excess of 5,0 00 marks. By empowering Goering to take "any measures necessary to secure the utilization of property in conformity with the interests of German economic life," the decree in effect authorised the confiscation of Jewish property in the Reich.

Infuriated crowds smashed Jewish stores, looted their contents and heat np Jewish pedestrians as the wave of anti-Jewish feeling -was allowed to rise unchecked. The authorities not only did' nothing to halt the outbreak but sought to minimize it and the arrests, attributing them to the "natural" anger of the populace, to the necessity for dealing with "criminal elements" and for preventing an alleged influx of Jews from the provinces and Austria. Nevertheless, the obviously inspired disturbances ended quite as suddenly as they had begun after Nazi party officials denounced "anti-goverment elements" as responsible. Propaganda Minister Goebbels, however, sought to justify the outbreaks. "While demanding that the state and party rather than "street mobs" attend to the solution of the Jewish problem, he said he had a "full understanding of the fact that the Berlin population is taking measures for its defense," and promised "legal measures would soon he taken "so that Jews soon will have gone altogether."

many and Austria found ttsmselves In that moved President Roosevelt to convene an intergovernmental refugee conference at Evian-lesBains, Prance, where representatives of 32 powers agreed to set up a new permanent agency with an American, director to deal with the refugee problem. As a result of this conference hope was held out that Germany might he prevailed upon to permit the emigrants to take some part of their capital with them, and that other countries would offer colonial territories to refugee colonization.

There had previously been another refugee conference called by the League of Nations, which resulted in a international convention giving a minimum of civil and judicial rights to refugees in the countries where-they are now resident. During 1937 some 25,000 Jews left Germany, making a total of 130,000 since 1933 and reducing the Jewish population to 360,000.

New Year's Edition—THE JEWISH PBESS—BosH HasHonaS 5699—Friday, Septfemb'er 23, 19SS

(Continued From Page 6) on. the 20 republics of South and Central America last year more closely than ever before because of the alarming German and Italian penetration of LatinAmerica in the form of commercial expansion, high-pressure cultural activities and political propaganda. The Americans "were gravely concerned "when Brazil appeared to have been brought •within the Fascist orbit through President Getulio Vargas' establishment of a corporative constitution and a personal totalitarian dictatorship. Fortunately, t h e fear that the first Fascist regime had come to the New World was short-lived as Vargas took pains to prove that his authoritarian government tras not to he identified -with old world ideologies. He -countered charges that he had introduced Fascism to America by

dissolving the anti-Semitic and

Nazi-financed Integrilista Fascist Farty.outlavring all Nazi and oth• er foreign propaganda centers and schools and deporting Nazi agents. Further proof that Brazil was not Fascist in the European eense was the abortive attempt by the Integrilistas to overthrow Vargas with the secret backing of foreign powers. Vargas' firm stand in the face of official protests by Germany and his announcement that Brazil was opposed to anti-Semitism had the effect of halting anti-Semitic agitation and of turning the tide against Nazism. Events In Brazil and their echo throughout Latin-America. The Argentine inaugurated as its new president Roberto Ortiz, who pledged himself to restore democratic institutions and fight all tendencies - toward the implantation of Fascism. After announcing he would tolerate no racial persecution, Ortiz declared war on Nazism, shutting down N a z i schools, forbidding the Hitler salute, probing the extent of Nazi propaganda and outlawing Fascist teachings. The inauguration of General Alfredo Baldomir as president of Uruguay brought similar results in that country. Baldomir, too, expressed himself as opposed to racial hatred and saw to it that all radio programs containing attacks on races and religions -were forbidden. Throughout the continent a movement for a Pan-American campaign against Fascism and racialism gained rapid headway, with committees committed to fighting Nazism organized in Uruguay, Argentine, - Chile and Mexico. Anti-Nazi Germans set up a German people's front pledged to-combat Nazism, •while the foreign ministers of the A. B. C. powers met to map united action against Nazi propaganda and Influence. Less encouraging were developments elswhere in Latin-America. Acting on the advice of. Nazi agents, Ecuador, once regarded as a likely haven for thousands of JewB ordered the deportation within 30 days of all Jews not engaged in farming. At the last minute the decree was rescinded after other South American governments, notably Chile, had lodged formal protests. Latin-American anti-Jewish agitation reached its high water mark in Mexico, where the Jewish community was har-

assed by numerous proposed restrictive laws inspired by Nazisubsidized newspapers, the German legation and the Mexican Chamber of Commerce for Small Industries, with the support of anti-Semitic politicians among the reactionary elements and the ultra-nationalistic wing of the government National Revolutionary Party. Legislation proposing to exclude Jews from all small industries, to compel them to live in designated areas, to forbid their admission to the country and their naturalization and to deport many said to. be in the country illegally gained considerable support in Congress but was never passed because of the opposition of President Cardenas and his government. Although the government attempted to halt the growing anti-Jewish . press campaign, its own nationalistic policy and the increasing economic crisis coupled with- the resentment of Mexican businessmen at Jewish competition forced concessions to the Anti-Semitic sentiment. These took the form of a quota law virtually halting all Jewish immigration, a rigorous enforcement of existing laws requiring all immigrants to engage only.in-the occupation mentioned in their original passports under threat of deportation, a ban on. further naturalizations pending a broad inguiry into the status of all aliens and the expulsion of a number of Jews held to have violated the immigration statutes. Latin-America also came into the international spotlight because of plans for settling German and Austrian refugees there. All of the Latin-American republics participated in the intergovernmental refugee • conference a t Evian but with the exception of Mexico and Santo Domingo none would agree to accept any but agricultural immigrants. Paraguay attempted to organize a Jewish legion among Austrian refugees. Brazil, after revoking .an order for the deportation of 1,000 Jews who had entered the country illegally, adopted a new immigration policy which eased somewhat the restrictions on the admission of Jews. All of the Central American state, where Nazi Influence was strongest, as well as Cuba enforced drastic curbs on immigration of Jews, although restrictions were less severe in Panama. A plan to settle refugees in Costs Rica on a tract of 50,000 acres purchased by the Refugee Bconmic Corporation ran afoul local opposition. Bolivia excluded Jews as "suspicious elements." Mexico anounced plans for-a new univerT sity to which refugees -would be invited as professors.' Small numbers of Jews, however, continued to enter Latin-America countries, Uruguay admitting 1,530 during 1937 and Argentine about twice that number. Efforts at Jewish colonization and the struggle against Nazism overshadowed the less exciting communal activities of LatinAm erican. Jewry last year. Particularly significant In this respect -were the first South American Pro-Palestine Congress, the raising of 5250,000 by Argentine Jewry for German and Austrian Jewish relief, the creation of a united J e w i s h representative agency in Mexico, the first Zion-

JEWISH "WEATHER REPORT: Continued storms. There Is one question that dominates the year through which Palestine has just passed: can Jews and Arabs liV3 in peaea uader the same British administration? When the Royal Cosaniiasion headed by Lord Peel concluded -its labors and announced its findings in July, 1937, there was an outcry at protest from many Jewish sources, a protest directed against the analysis of the situation as well as against the conclusion that partition was the only effective (solution of the problem created by conflicting promises to Jews and Arabs. Whatever the concensus of judgement may be on Palestine today, it Is evident that tact and compromise, in generous measure, are two of the most esential ingredients for any plan to deal with a situation that has become Increasingly delicate and complex. Two years of terror and violence have pockmarked the internal aad external fact of Palestine. This past year irresponsible Jewish elements complicated an already critical situation by breaking the heroic Jewish self-discipline and engaging in retaliation against innocent Arabs after the hanging of Shlomo Ben Josef, who was convicted o2 possession of arms by a military court. In the year before the Palestine administration had been charged with laxity in suppressing saboteurs and propagandists. Bat with the replacement of Sir Arthur Wauchope by Sir Harld MacHichael as High Commissioner, a strenuous effort has been made with brigandage. Outstanding exby the military force3 to cope ample of this desire to cambsit violence was the importation of Sir Charles Tegart to reorganise the police force. One of the results of his investigation was the building of the electrified barbed wire fence across the northern frontier of Palestine, to halt the invasion of rebel forces from Syria and Lebanon to supplement the terrorists of Palestine. It is the essence of journalism that the unusual and sensational should bs featured. "That is .why

the news from Palestine has dealt principally with casualties and outrages that brought death to 108 Jews between December 1, 1S37 and July 19, 1SSS, aad resulted ia the Mlling of 6S5 Arabs and 23 British in addition to in-. juries to Eotne 500 Jews, Arabs aad British. But wtile the terrorism bos conpeiieti the Jewish colonies to maintain constasl watches against the incursions of bandits, they Save gone fcr-srard frith their normal tas&s ol plowing the fields gad tending the herds. Toscssini again came to Palestine to conduct the Palestine Symphony Orchestra. Other notable achievements in th,B life of tlis Jewish community during the year Included the installation of passenger facilities at Tel Aviv harbor, nsakins It the first full-fledged Jewish port In twenty csaturies: the building of Hacita on the northern frontier near Lebanon, a suprame example oj the heroic and symbolic courage of Jews pushing, the' boundaries of Jewish colonization outward at a time, when Jews need a maritnum of immigration opportunities; the establishment of other new settlements in Samaria, Beisan, Sharon and Galilee. OS special Interest to Americans is the progress of Ain Hashofet, sataed for Justice Douis B-. Brandeis and inhabited principally by Americans, who for years •waited for the opportunity to settle on their own land while working in Kibutz Haamerikai. The names of Hitler and Mussolini have been invoked to explain the intensification 0f Arab hostility during the past year. It is undoubtedly true that Italy has everything to gain by stirring up the Arab world against the British Empire, whose hegesoay In the East end oa the Mediterranean it seeks to break. Hitler's Drang Nach Osten would not be helped by a stroag Jewish population in Palestine. That may explain why EO many of the arms discovered by troops and police in Palestine bear German markings. But dominating all political and economic Questions, for their solution i3 bound up with it, is that of parttion. The Commission headed by Sir John Woodhead that spent months in Palestine studying all the technical, strategic and economic problems involved in the proposed tri-section of Palestine has made it clear that it can 'consider no other alternative. This too has been emphasized in the House of Commons by Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald. M&ay who had opposed partition before have become less adamant in their objections for they realize that slogans alone will not suppress Arab nationalism which has wen a new place for itself, principally through the use of force, in a •world which has learned to pay greatest obelsanca to force. Conditions in Cestral and Eastern Europe last year accentuated Jewish, homelessness aad strengthesed the position of- those -who feel that despite terrorism Palestine alone offers a solution for a maximum number of refugees.
