On the surface, the dominant Arab leaders appear to be entirely Intranslgeant, bitterly hostile to Zionism, totally deaf to arguments of moderation. On closer view, .the harsh black-and-whlte3 fade. Some of the most important Arab chieftains, whose names are today Bynonymous to the public with rampant nationalism and bloody terror, have In the past — and the not distant past — come very, very close to wholehearted agreement with some of the Jews who were seeking a way of peace. Arabs are not unaware of the great advantages to them of friendly cooperation with the Jews. They-have seen, benefitted from and many have understood the Jews' accomplishments in reclaiming the desert and making it bloom again as in ancient days. The idea of an alliance of the two Semitic peoples is not without appeal to the Arab imagination, and it might be turned into an effective slogan. No matter what happens at St. James, that will continue to be an immensely important impotential factor in the future of Palestine and of Zionism.
g of a ish house of God in the middlewest. Eighteen hundred thirty-nine saw the Bavarian and Rhineland groups forming a separate congregation, K. K. B'ne Jeshurun. This was destined to be the first outspoken Reform congregation west of the Alleghenies and the leader in a national movement of Reform. A Jewish Sunday school was an innovation when B'ne Israel started it in 1842. Jewish parochial schools to supply needs not cared for by a public school system appeared in Cincinnati before any other western city started them. A mixed choir, special rules of decorum, and shortened prayers had already been Introduced into the services of B'ne Jeshurun when Dr. Isaac Mayer Wise,, later to become the leader of the American Reform movement, accepted a call to B'ne Jeshurun for life. First Weekly Upon his arrival in Cincinnati, Dr. Wise instituted publication of the American Israelite, f i r s t anglo-Jewlsh weekly to be founded in America. It has been continuously published since July, 1854. On Shovuos, the Spring festival of the law, 1856, both B'ne Jeshurun and B'ne Israel conducted the first Confirmation exercises in America in their temples. Dr. Lilienthal introduced the first children's Chanukah entertainment into his religious school in 1865. Celebration of holydays in Jewish religious schools has since become universal. The suggestion of Dr. Max Lilienthal, outstanding rabbi of B'ne Israel, for merging all benevolent Jewish societies of Cincinnati into one body, was published in the American Israelite in 1885. This was the first time that such a suggestion had been made in any American city. Forty years later, the idea reached fruition when che charities of the Queen city united. A plea In the Israelite in 1858 was the first widely circulated de-
mand for substitution of English for German in prayer books of American congregations. Whea Dr. Wise and others compiled a volume of hymns, Psalms and prayers mostly in English in 1868, it became the first book of its kind in America, to have more than local appeal. "The Free Church in a Free State" was the subject of Dr. LIHenthal's sermon when ha occupied the pulpit of the Unitarian church in March, IS67. This was the first time in the history of the United States that a Jewish rabbi had ever preached from a Christian pulpit. July, 1873, saw Dr. Wise'g dream of a national organization of congregations brought to fruition when the Union of American H e b r e w Congregations w a s formed in Cincinnati as the first such body in the country. Two years later .the Union sponsored another favorite project of Dr. Wise when it founded the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, first great Jewish theological seminary in America. Dr. Wise was its first president. The Cincinnati Hebrew Sabbath School. Union of 1886 was the first successful attempt to coordinate work of religious schools in any American city. It performed a national service in standardizing American Jewish religious teaching by developing a course of study. Its work was taken over by the Union in 1905. Central Conference A final step in national organization of Reform Judaism was taken when graduates of the Hebrew Union College and other rabbis founded the Central Conference ' of American Rabbis in Cincinnati in 1889. Forerunner of the first national Liberal Jewish youth convention held in C i n c i n n a t i in January, was the Culture Association for Young People of Congregation B'ne iBrael started in 1890. Dr. David Philipson, then the young rabbi of the congregation, felt that youth should play its part in Jewish life. Alter 50 years of service, the dean of the American Reform Rabbinate sees his small Idea as one of national scope and importance. The idea was then novel. Cincinnati's Jewish community adopted the Settlement House idea in 1899 when it started a Jewish settlement house. Dr. Bori3 Bogen, head of the Settlement in 1913 established America's first School of Jewish Social Service there. The school offered training for professional work in Jewish social science. Women's Groups In 1913, at the last Union Convention in Cincinnati, the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods was born. Mrs. Abram Simon conceived the idea of banding women's temple groups into a national body. As the first president, she started the organization on its career. Today, with 367 units in six countries, the United States, • Canada, Cuba, Panama, England and South Africa, the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods is the largest Jewish women's religious organization in the world. A Pay-Health Clinic set up at the Jewish Social Agencies in Cincinnati in 1924 was unique. It was the only such clinic in America to be conducted by a social rather than a medical agency. Needless to say, the extremely creative Jewish community of Cincinnati has joined in every Jewish movement of national and international range to play its part in developing modern Judaism and establishing a center of American liberal Jewish thought. Union activities and those of its connected bodies, as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, are centered in that city. Its seminary houses an outstanding collection of Jewish books and art. And Cincinnati goes on creating. The Union and its af-

war and the subsequent treatment of Germany. Austrian dif- HEARTBREAK ficulties were directly traceable to the injustices of peace treaties. Even in this country there was no immunity from the resulting tragedy. An upsurge of national feeling brought about the notorious Ku Klur Klan. A war in Europe at this time will solve no problems as far asvthe Jews are concerned and nobody realizes it better than they. A war would result in another "collapse of democratic processes and bring tyranny closer and closer. As the Jews are the victims of a war that has not even yet begun, they will continue to be its victims long after it has ended.

All this means that despite tales of German bankruptcy, despite rumors of German willingness t o b e reasonable, the country is in solvent enough condition to make a gesture at carrying through the long-projected drive to the east. In some financial circles here, the invasion of the Czech republic is interpreted as nothing , more than high-handed brigandage. The Nazis need gold reserves and there was gold in the vaults of the Czech treasury. . In the face of growing discontent at home and open defiance in Austria, one questions the sanity of any new; adven.tures. According to well-informed observers, the Nazi leaders feel their absorption of the Sudeten area and Austria were accomplished too quickly and are responsible for an acute indigestion. .'••'• \ ...... There has been some feeling abroad that a new foreign objective was necessary for Germany as a policy of diversion. But the Germans, unfortunately for the Nazis, are no longer diverted by spectacular achievements in the foreign field. On the contrary, every time Hitler plans a new diplomatic coup, he finds himself faced with air acute case of jitters on the part of his people. They fear war and this is becoming evident to the leaders. "What Germany is to gain by this so-called 'protectorate' of Czecho-Slovakia is yet to be explained. I ., "
JEWS LEAVING SLOVAKIA IN FEAR OF NAZIS
By BORIS SMOIiAR, J. T. A. Chief European Correspondent. Paris (JTA) — The SO.OOO Jews in Slovakia have been thrown into panic by the separatist outbreaks. The majority are liquidating their affairs and hurriedly transferring their belongings to Praha, where they hope to find safety until they can emigrate. The Slovakian Jews feel themselves to be in a position similar to- that of the Jews In Sudetenland prior to its occupation by the Reich. Nazi flags are flying unmolested over many buildings, and anti-Semitism is assuming serious proportions, marked by bombing of Jewish stores and institutions. (Reports reaching London said a bomb was thrown at the principal synagogue in Bratislava, but there were no v casualties. Two Jewish-owned shops were completely wrecked by storm troopers and one shopkeeper was seized. An attempt was made to lynch a Jewish youth accused by German Nazis of firing a shot at a Storm trooper, and the Jew was arrested. In Pilsen, two Fascists were killed by the premature explosion of a bomb they were planting in a Jewish cemetery hall. Czech police arrested 17 persons suspected of various anti-Semitic bombings in the provinces.) Search An example of Germany's influence in Praha is furnished by a personal experience. Departure of an airplane from Praha for Paris was delayed for 40 minutes

While the detention puzzled this correspondent, it did not surprise the other passengers, \rho later explained that the search; was not due so much to Czechoslovakia's sensitiveness as to what might appear in the foreign press as to the fact that the.

Lithuanian Jews Aid Charities in Memory of Pius XI Kaunas (JTA)—The sum of 10,000 lits (about $1,700) was presented to Bishop Butshia for Catholic charities as Lithuanian Jewry's contribution in memory of Pope Pius XI. The money will be turned over to ' the Catholic Home for the Aged in Kaunas, the Bishop told the delegation from the Committee for Protection of Jewish Rights in Lithuania which made the presentation. During the conversation, Bishop Butshia told the Jewish delegation that the natural friendship of Catholics and Jews was due to their common monotheistic philosophies, based on respect for human dignity and their high moral codes. He said that relations between Jews and Catholics in Lithuania had been for centuries based on peace and mutual understanding. Later, the Prelate visited the delegates in their homes to express officially the thanks of the Catholic Church for the gift. A. S. Grinbauin was Hawaii's first Jew, coming there in 1S56.

Ladies Auxiliary Meeting Tuesday
?
Addressing an audience of more than 500 people at the Jewish Community Center Monday evening, Ludwig Lewisohn, prominent novelist, said that the only solution for the Jewish people is keeping open the gates of Palestine for continued establishment of a national home for the Jews. Speaking with fire and conviction, and the perfect command of words that distinguishes Lewisohn's writing, the author urged again and again upon his audience the need for their support of- Zionism. Describing the proposals to settle Jews in South America_ or Africa as "fantastic" and impossible, Lewisohn said that the continued building up of the Jewish colonies in Palestine was the only way of solving the difficulties of the Jewry of Poland, Ge-r many and Italy. Ludwig Lewisohn was brought to Sioux City under the auspices of the Sioux City district of the Zionist organization. "For political reasons," said the speaker, "England is threatening to establish an Arab state in Palestine on u majority basis. This means that the growth of the Jewish state there must not be allowed to exceed that of the Arabic one." Mr. Lewisohn declared that the project must be defeated, that 100,000 Jews must be allowed to enter Palestine each year, and concluded that this could be accomplished only by the combined efforts o£ a united American Jewry. Ludwis LCwisohn was introduced by Rabbi Theodore N. Lewis.
