MISH-MASH: One of the omGeneral Ettore Ascoli's last command to his regiment was an order always to be ready, to die for Italy, as he hlmselt was. Dismissed from his post as division commander of the Bologna district because of the recently enacted racial laws, General Ascoli' obtained permission to address the regiment he had commanded for many years for the last time. At the close of his speech he drew himself to attention, covered . his face with the regimental flag , he loved so dearly and then, drawing his revolver, shot himself dead. A "soldier all his life, General Ascoli's love for his country did not permit him to go on living unless he could continue to serve his native Italy. As a soldier. General Ascoli obeyed the order for his dismissal when it came without a murmur. As a man," proud of his Italian heritage that could be traced back more ihan five centuries. General Ascoli could sot bear the humiliation that had been visited upon him. . . Only a short time before, his near relative, Admiral Aldo Ascoli, Commander-in-chief of the Italian squadron In the Balearic •' Islands, had also been dismissed : because of his Jewish faith. Both of these men were descended from a family -which had brought distinction and honor to Italy. Old Family The first member of this family, to achieve distinction was Jacob ben Abraham Role d'Ascoli, who came to Ascoli Piceno from Camerino about the middle ol the fifteenth century, during the great 'Italian renaissance. 'Little is -linown about him save that he ;"3s-as a noted physician, a distin•£nished poet and. a scholar. .• In the next century, David d'Ascoli won a wide reputation as a philosopher and writer, particularly on religious subjects. It was not Tintn the beginning ot the nineteenth century, however, that the genius of the Ascoli family burst into full bloom in the person of Graziadlo Isaiah Ascoli. Whatever has been accomplished in the study ot the Italian Ian-
inous and not publicized features guage, its roots, forms and his- ward that tradition to the best of -of Coughlinite patory, can be traced directly to his his ability. In the World War he radethein called-off New York was that the
efforts. ~ : •• '" " Professor -Ascolt was born In Goerz, Austria, in 1829, the son of a middle-class paper manufacturer. He studied in Italian school where his genlU3 was; recognized at an early age, specializing in the field of comparative philosophy. At sixteen he created a sensation in philological circles by his'study of the Friulian dialect and the Wallachian tongue. This was published in Udine in 1846 under the title "Sull* Idloma Friulano a sulla sua Af finita con la Lingua Vallacca; Schizzo Storico-Filologico." It was a subject which had never been treated before, a masterly effort that was all the more noteworthy since-the boy had had no prompting on the. subject from his teacher." 'Linguist -..-.. Ascoli thenceforth resolved to devote his life to reviving the study of languages in Italy, which once had been the world center for such knowledge. In 1854 he founded the first linguistic journal in the country under the title "Studii Oriental! a Linguistic!.'' The profound learning which the youthful editor showed In the first two volumes of this magazine won for him the chair of comparative philology at the Accademia Scientifico-Litteraria of Milan. It "was while he was professor at this noted institution- that he wrote his world-famous book "Corsi dl Glottologia," which was later translated into English and German, and which won for its author the Bopp prize of the Berlin Academy. ' All the philologists of any importance in Italy have been disciples of Ascoli. He was one of the few really great pioneers who have given the study of language its present strictly scientific character.

Yet, like a brave soldier, "his last words to his command were that they be loyal to the death to their native land. (Copyright, 1939, by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate)

Because he will. b& reminded of a most embarrasing encounter -V7ith the ZOA president during his recent tour of tne Holy Land . . . It was this way . . . Dr. Goldman was traveling on the road between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv . . . He was stopped at a military post along the road . . . The post commander, the aforementioned captain, insisted on investigating the contents of Dr. Goldman's brief case, although he had already seen his passport bearing a free British visa issued to distinguished visitors . . . The soldier who carried out the. search extracted a sheet of manuscript, glanced at it and excitedly handed it td his superior . . . The captain looked it over, turned red, and handed the document back to Dr. Goldman with an embarrassed g r i n . . . It was a page, from the Zionist leader's address at the ZOA convention in New^ York, in which he told the • Vorld what he thought ot the British* Government ' f o r . its ; Palestine'^Whlte Papers . . • -.

WAR IN PEACE This line may sound a bit dated by the time it reaches your eyes, but V. S. officials abroad have informed our government that war is inevitable, because Hitler is definitely convinced that France and Britain won't fight . . . You may have forgotten, but Hugh Wilson, U. S. Ambassador to Germany, is still on leave, and at the time of writing it looks as if he won't ever go back . . . Preparations are already concluded for a powerful Jewish Legion to fight on the side of England if the war does break out . . . It is also said that in case of war Great Britain will entrust the Jews of Palestine with the defense of that country . . . Among those who are hoping that war won't come are the press agents of America, who realize that no publicity releases stand a chance in papers filled with war news . . . In.-'a recent fit of optimism Naziland and South Africa entered into a new kind of barter deal . . . South Africa is supposed to give the Germans wool whilethe German government undertakes to deliver a certain number of tourists every year to the Union BED SWASTIKA Interpretations of the recent Soviet-Nazi non-aggression pact are a dime a dozen hereabouts . . . One shrewd observer claims that it foreshadows the breaking up of the Rome-Berlin axis and explains why the Italians and Germans have improved their fortifications at the Brenner pass in recent months . . . Another declares "Either the Soviets will have to import anti-Semitism or Germany will have to cut it out, but no Berlin-Moscow axis can last with such a divergence in policy toward Jews" . . . Though this isn't exactly our domain, we'd like to point out that commentators seem to forget that a non-aggression pact is not an alliance . . . The Soviets have had a non-aggression pact with Italy for a long time, and, for that matter, Great Britain and France too.have had non-aggression pacts with Hitler since Mu«nlch . . . Perhaps in modern diplomacy non-aggression pacts are the substitute for declarations of war REFUGEE REPORT New York's University in Exile, which is giving jobs to some of the foremost refugee scholars, is setting a precedent . . . Down in New Zealand preparations are being made for the inauguration of an Exile Department in Auckland University College . . . Distasteful as it is, it is none the less true that a Jewish organization is very seriously negotiating f o r large-scale immigration to Ethiopia . . . A Jewish committee now in Ethiopia is headed by Germann Fuernberg . . . What we can't understand is why Ifews should make efforts to place victims of Fascism under Italian jurisdiction . . . All of which reminds us of the new movement that has been launched In Germany, for the colonization of Jews on Mars . . . Some Nazi scientists insist that it can be done, andiare caljing a conference which will be addressed by Buck
Rogers and Orson Welles . . . Refugee Arnold Zweig is back in Palestine and declares that he won't leave the Homeland for the next twenty years . . . Those who believe that the Jewish birthrate in Palestine is high enough to keep pace with that of the Arabs have another guess coming . . . The Jewish birthrate couldn't keep up the present Jewish percentage in the Palestine population if immigration is stopped . . . That Palestine is good for its Jews is proved by the fact that the Maccabi football team of Tel Aviv, now in Australia, recently played one of the strongest elevens of the Antipodes to a tie . . . WAR AMOXG VETERAXS Internal warfare Is brewing among the Jewish War Veterans, and indications are that their forthcoming convention will be a hot one . . . The faction opposed to J. George Fredman, who is credited with being the maker of commanders-ln-cfiief at the last few conventions, charges the present administration with giving Veteran printing jobs to a close friend of Allen Zoll, one of America's leading anti-Semites . . . Another claim of this faction, which is headed by Samuel Friedman of Akron, Ohio, is that the Jewish Welfare Board had 14,000,000 left over from its world-war collections and that it legally beongs to the Jewish. War Veterans . .' . It would seem to us that $4,000,000 in.their coffers would be a pleasant surprise to JWB at this time — actively engaged as they are in raising funds for their work . . Twenty years have passed since the war and JWB no doubt has spent that much and more in carrying out its varied program LAUGH DEPARTMENT Neck-to-neck for honors as the best joke of the week are two culled from the private stock of Harry Hershfield . . . One concerns a Mr. Ginsburg who overheard two Germans of the more liberal type discussing Nazism . . . "The trouble," said one of the Germans, "is with Hitler — he's his own worst enemy" . . .• Ginsburg couldn't help interrupting . . "Not while I'm alive!" he exclaimed ," . . The other tale is about the Jew who spent all his time reading Nazi literature and newspapers . . . "What's the idea?" his friends asked him . . . "Why don't you read Jewish books and papers?" . . . "Why should I?" he rejoined . . . "In the Jewish papers I read only about Jewish tzores—how Jews are persecuted and starving and homeless —and it breaks my heart . . . But in the Nazi papers I can read all
about the great power of tae Jews In world affairs, and that makes me feel lots better" . . . ABOUT PEOPLE Harry Hershfield will abandon his cartooning for good within the next few -weeks and will devote his time to a daily syndicated bos of comment on general affairs, in the style of Will Rogers . . "Harry Hershfield Says" will be the title of the feature . . . M a u r i c e Schwartz will be seen as King Lear in an English production next season . . . Note to publishers: Arthur Wayne, who is one oJ the best editorial writers in the English-Jewish field and a swell make-up idea man, is available for a good position . . . The congregation that employs Cantor Molshe Oysher, the famous singer does not object to his performing on the'radio or screen, but insists that he always use the title of Cantor . . . Talking of Cantors, we understand that Eddie Castor still hasn't a radio sponsor for next season . . . Three prospective sponsors who wanted him to omit speeches about Americanism from his broadcasts got this answer: "I don't intend remaining a comedian all ray life, but I'll never stop-being an American" . . . Sidney Howard, son-in-law of Walter Damrosch, who vras eo tragically killed in an accident last week, was one of the most aggressive anti-Fascists in this country . . . He pleaded more than once with some s>i the Jewish producers o£ Hollywood to utilize their tremendous power in the anti-Fascist cause . . . The Max Reinhardt Workshop, which is a school for stage and screen actors, is making a big hit on the Coast . . . The large Hollywood studios pay the tuition fee for some of their most noted stars in order that they may get a post-graduate course in histrionics from the great master . . . Mischa Elman, whom the Times reports as having received a summons for speeding near New York, is in South America on a concert tour . , .

Hollywood crry-Go-Round By IRVING SQNDERS We doff our collective hat to Samuel Goldwyn, who absolutely refuses to adopt assembly line methods in his studio. Goldwyn, a former glove manufacturer, enjoys the distinction of being the top producer in Hollywood in spite ol the fact that he produces less pictures annually than any other studio. An idealist of the first water, lie recently asked to be relieved of his United Artists releasing commitment because he felt that in announcing more releases for the 19SS-40 season, the company was sacrificing their reputation £cr making fewer but better pictures, for a strictly commercial policy. His credo has been to make one picture at a time, make it good and the profits will take care of themselves. Incidentally, he is probably the raost misquoted mas in Hollywood, most of the cjnips attributed to him being merely pigments in the imagination of press agents. Rarely interviewed and less frequently photographed, he is one of Hollywood's more retiring citizens. He is that rare blend of artistic genius and shrewd business man which justly entitles him to be called one of ths truly great men in the motion picture industry.

Poland and the Jews • The past week has seen the fate of Poland hourly hanging in balance. At this writing the future of the country is still unknown—whether it will eventually fall'to.the"Nazi .legions or whether it will continue a free and independent nation. Between ..Poland the. Jews there is a strange relationship. Here live three million of our people, the largest aggregation in Europe—excepting, of course, Russia, where Judaism has been stamped out. Here traditional institutions, are unchanged. Polish Jewry clings tenaciously to its old customs and remains a citadel of ultra-Orthodoxy." . From the twelfth century, Poland has been the receptacle for the persecuted Jews of Germany. Raids on the Jewish communities, particularly in the region of the Rhine, resulted in huge numbers fleeing eastward—much as Spanish Jewry was in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries to flee to Turkey. Under the benevolent rule 61 wise Polish kings, the Jews attained a remarkable status with independent institutions and in some cases autonomy. The ravages of the Cossacks undermined this position of Polish Jewry. The tragic decline was hastened by the Counter-Reformation which concentrated its attentions on Poland with disastrous results for the Jews. The Partitions of the latter part of the eighteenth century introduced the tyranny of Russia into the eastern section of the country. The harsh measures of Czardom sent hundreds of thousands fleeing into western Europe and to North and South A m e r i c a . ,

• It is senseless to have any illusions about Poland at this period. Sad though its impending fate may be and unjust its treatment, it does not stand before the tribunal of world opinion with clean' hands.' At the 1919 Peace Conference, the Polish delegation wanted enough territory to have emerged with half of Europe in its boundaries. Every spot Poland once owned—regardless of how temporary—was pointed out as Polish soil and dtemanded, ; Immediately after .the conference it fulfilled'its obligations to the cause of international anarchyby seizing the provinces of Vilna and Grodno which the League of: Nations was holding m trust for Lithuania. At the time of the Austrian crisis Poland took advantage of the international chaos to demand that Lithuania open her frontiers—which had been closed in retaliation for the seizure, of Vilna—threatening to march in if her demands .were not considered. A few months.later Poland had thrown in her lot with Germany and as the Nazis marched into the Sudeten, the Poles seized the Teschen. area. :

Independent Poland has done everything in its "power to make the lives of its minorities miserable. TJkranians, Ruthenians, and Jews have suffered from the efforts to Polonize the country. Since the end of the first "World "War, Polish Jewry has endured increasing economic distress. Approximately one-third of Poland's. Jews are without means of livehood and two-thirds do not make enough to keep body and soul together. Semi-official action has forced the small Jewish middleman from the economic picture to make room for the Polish peasantry who have been on the verge of rebellion against the petty aristocracy. \ " . . In Czecho-Slovakia the Jews had a. government for which they could be grateful. Not so Polish. Jewry. Yes despite the •wanton destruction of their very means of livelihood, the Polish Jews have at this crisis been more than patriotic and have contributed generously from meager resources for air-squadrons, et cetera. ' • . The last few years has seen official action taken against Kosher-slaughtering; Agitation has gone on for, the establishment of Ghetto Benches in the schools. Measures "designed to humiliate the Jews have been the rule, rather than the exception. Yet this action has not gone unopposed and a large section of the Polish population defied the government on several of these measures, particularly the Ghetto benches. '• .

But bad as Poland has been, a Nazi victory will be;a calamity beyond comprehension. "While Poland has demanded the world assist her in forcing the three million Jews to migrate, she has not ruthlessly poured-them out into an inhospitable world. If Hitler conquers, thfee million "Jews will immediately become refugees. German Jewry has been destitute^ only siftce 1933 and even in the early years of Hitler the wealthier were in a position to assist the less fortunate. The Jews of Poland have been dependent-upon the largess of world Jewry for a good many years. •/: The fate of Poland should be a lesson to those other countries who think they can copy Nazi methods and utilize Nazi teachings. There is no such thing as friendship with Germany. There can be no profit from her methods. Roland now demands our help because her-defeat, would be an even greater tragedy. But she has no claims on anyone, not even the conscience of the civilized-world. ••'••»"

Although America, has been most generous in her moral support of the Jewish r_efugees from Europe^ nothing really substantial has been done by* this government The convocation of the Evian conference has as yet had little desired effect. Efforts to- admit- twenty-thousand- refugee-children -outside the
quota limit have been unavailing because.of congressional op position; V ^ •• • Now comes word that Alaska, is being contemplated as a refugee for these homeless Jews. The Secretary of Interior, under whose authority Alaska lies, is enthusiastic about such possibilities. The !War. Department sees a dependable population, in this area which is so strategically situated. Alaska is not, like British Guiana, unsurveyefl. "WTiile it possesses many miles of uncharted lands, a large portion has been mapped and is ready for settlement. Colonization has been attempted and with great success. It is an undeveloped under-populated land, with a diminishing population. Not only is it rich in resources, but possesses tremendous agricultural and fishing possibilities. Jews have lived there for many years'and have prospered and this year for the first time are"; organizing for their United Jewish Appeal campaign. , Plans are under way to organize joint-stock companies such as the Hudson Bay Company and the New England Company, which were used for the colonization of New England and Canada. Financial assistance would thus be rendered by private^, rather than'governmental agencies. . - Of all the lands so far considered, Alaska is the most likely. Its settlement will be of advantage not only to the refugees but to the government. Once discredited as an "Ice-Box,? it may prove the salvation of a people.
Crack-Pot's Day Although the Dies Committee is doing yeoman work in turning the spot-light on the activities of subversive groups, particularly the.anti-Semitic organizations, from the testimony of some of the witnesses it seems a good deal of money is being wasted. Instead of bringing these witnesses before, a Senate committee, the testimony indicates a sanity board would be much more appropriate. The childish antics of Moseley and his water-boy were bad enough, but now a whole day is devoted to one Californian that is obviously a crack-pot of the crack-pots. His own past career is not so savory since he admitted, not without great indignation, that he had served two prison sentences on "small check charges." The government—federal, state, and. localwas,under Jewish control, he charged, although he himself was drawing relief from this supposedly Jewish-dominated state while he was spreading his anti-Semitic nonsense. He had recently retired from his anti-Semitism not because he had grown any fonder of the Jews—oh, no, for once he only disliked communist Jews while now he hated them all. But he was becoming disappointed in his co-workers. Some were racketeers and some were zealots. And crowning disappointment of all was the sudden realization that one wealthy anti-Semite was a Soviet Spy. • . It is tragie indeed that^such people must be taken seriously enough to transport to -"Washington to testify before the highest legislative body .in the land. They have been the dupes of foreign agents.-and now-are being left in the lurch for fire since the "communist" charge no longer goes. These petty racketeers are not so much to blame as are those supposedly responsible citizens who finance them, who assist in their propaganda and distribute the literature given them by the representatives of the "Welt Dienst." It is they, who pose as pillars of society, when in reality they are as guilty of treason as these willing dupes of the Fascists.
fool" exists only because of God. Should "the fool" esist and not God?" ' Judaism is thus rock-ribbed on Reality. One of its names for God is "the Rock." And its passion for righteousness is real. It. would create •a happy world here and now, and not build one of the merely beautiful dreams and illusions beyond tlie clouds. Judaism is often accused of "this worldliness." It accepts the criticism with frankness and with delight. Man's welfare here, liis freedom from all war, all injustice, all cruelty, all hate, all misery bere: his enjoyment of peace, happiness, blessedness, through the removal of all evil, all wickedness, all vice, all crime on this earth: this is the aim and striving of Judaism: a passion for perfection, of concrete justice, of practical righteousness, this is the Jew's real and not merely sentimental object and purpose, a real "mission;" a real reason for existing, even suffering, even dying; a real incentive to endure and perdure—to bring in a real world, of real righteousness, unity, peace snd happiness at last, a beautiful humanity to match a beautiful universe! All power to reality! May it unceasingly speed! till the "ideal" became real, and the real ideal!
A Weekly Snrvey of People and. Ideas By A. A. KOBACK ANNIVERSARY CONFIDENCE
In case say readers don't know It, I must remind them that one of these days.marks an anniversary, of slight importance, it is true, yet one which concerns my readers as well as myself. A full year will have elapsed since this column, appeared under a new superscription or signature. For fifty weeks, your columnist ignoring vacation calls, has been, as my colleagues would say, "readying" material for hundreds of thousands of readers throughout the United States and Canada, "from coast to coast," as the radio announcer puts it. % Surely this is an appropriate occasion to have a heart to heart talk with my readers, in the hope that the editor will not act as intercepting censors. Some of them, indeed, have already taken to the honorable profession of the "Mohel" and circumcised parts which I considered, naturally enough, sine quo non. Something About Editors Editors . are funny people, I ought to know because I have been an editor myself. They claim, for example, that type can't be stretched, that a column should mean a column, and no more. I once knew a writer who said that when he has written an editorial or a column which is to fill just that much space, his hand stops writing of its own accord—ample proof, I should think, that he writes with his hands. Some people write with their brains too; and often a sub-
