Announcement was made last week that Morris K. Jacobs will head the 1040 Jewish l'hllantliropies campaign. Mr, Jaco)>3 headed the Initial Gift division In 1U34 and has been active; in Philanthropies campaigns for m a n y years. •"''". In accepting the chairmanship of the campaign, Mr. Jacobs said: "If our fellow Jews In Nazi Germany, in Austria, in Czecho-Slovakia, in Poland, and in the other countries where the sword of total It aranlsm hangs over their heads, were permitted to speak for themselves, they would tell even more than we know of the horror that they, their wives end their children have been compelled to endure. They dare not speak. It Is bur duty to speak for them. They dare not answer Hitler; we must and uliall answer for them." •.-•>* "Our answer must be clear and unequivocal. It should find a cheering echo in ©very corner of the globe where our fellow Joyra are now lying prostrate. T h i s will constitute our message .of true fellowship ami deep understanding; a message that will rekindle the spark of faith, a n d hope, and courage, and fortify them in their desperate battle fop life. Our answer will reflect the measure of our sincere desire to stand by them in these darkest days of all history." Mr. Jacobs, who is affiliated with Bozell and Jacobs advertising agency, has long been active In civic and communal affaire. He is vice-president and a member of the board of trustees of Temple Israel and of the executive committee of the Omaha Jew(Continued on page 9.)

By PHINEAS J. BIRON NAZTI STUFF Don't be surprised if that socalled war they're having in Europe develops a sudden shift in alignments as the Allies come to take Gory Goering's peace proposals more seriously . . . Walter Winchell, who tells us to look out for Pauline Kohler's book, "I Was Hitler's Maid," has a new name for Badolf — The Little M a n Who Isn't All There . . . Why, with all that emphasis on unity in the Reich, asks a London Punster, did Hitler ever permit Unity Mitford to return to England? . . . A Columbus youth named John Gunther, evidently as observant as his famous namesake, has returned home from a ninemonth stay in Germany, where he was an "exchange scholarship student," thoroughly disgusted at the Nazis' efforts to make him and other young Americans over into brown-shirted awastika-bearers. . Best wisecrack of the week is credited to a journalist who was attending a party at the home of an American correspondent for Nazi newspapers . . . It seems a sofa caught fire, and somebody cried: "What to do?" . . . "If you want to do it the American way," said the bright boy, "just throw some water on it . . . But if you're doing things the Nazi way, throw some books into the fire" . . . T i n s AND THAT Thanks to the New York Post's Ernest L. Meyer for pointing out that that incident of the 1,800 refugees stuck on a boat on the Danube is merely an instance of life improving on fiction . . . The fiction in this case being Peter Mendelssohn's r e c e n t n o v e l "Across the Dark River," which relates the tribulations of 50 Jews in a similar predicament . . . Eddie Cantor, they say, is eager to give his Long Island estate to a charitable institution, but can't find a taker because said estate lacks a swimming pool . . . A biography of Nicky Arnstein, who was Fanny Brice's first husband, may soon be published by Simon and Schuster . . . Which reminds us that Fanny will not, after all, be Mrs. Hitler in Charlie Chaplin's forthcoming film, "The Dictator" . . . Charlie decided a fuehrer has trouble enough without a missus . . . T h e film, "Four Sons," n o w being planned by Darryl Zanuck, will be perhaps the most daring film ever screened about Germany, we're told . . . The biographer of the famous Hetty Green Is having trouble verifying the stbry that Sigmund Lubin of Philadelphia made some of his early movie thrillers on Mrs. Green's Texas Midland Railroad, and would appreciate firsthand Information in this matter . . . For those who read Hebrew there's a treat in store in "Reuben Brainin's Last Days," a little book just brought out by Raphael Shochett describing the interesting personal life of the late Dean of Hebrew Literature . . , You can get it by sending 15 cents in postage stamps to the Hebrew journal Ramah at 1291 Grant avenue, New York . . . . YOU SHOULD KNOW E m m a Redell, the greatest American-born Wagnerian singer (she was a Jewish girl), who recently died of a heart attack, really died of a broken heart . . . Over 10 years ago she was promised a contract with the Metropolitan Opera, where she belonged, but due to petty politics she never sang on the stage of that institution . . . Tully Filmus, New York Jewish artist, has just completed a portrait study of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt . . . Max Band, the famous Jewish painter now in this country, was offered-a thou(Contlnued on page 12.)

Welles Abroad A representative of the American State Department, Assistant Secretary Sumner Welles, will soon visit the capitals of the belligerent nations. .What his instructions may be are of complete secrecy, for diplomacy is a poker game. Undoubtedly his primary job is to sound out peace sentiment or at least to find out what may be the basis for working out the peace treaty of the future. Peace at this time is devoutly desired in most Circles. It is possible, according to a writer in the "New York Times," that the President and bis advisors see prospects for peace that are so far not visible to the ordinary eye. Peace, at this time, depends entirely upon the position of Germany. If Germany is on the verge Of exhaustion, as some observers believe, then there may be some credence to the tale that the State department has been approached by leading Nazis. The allies certainly will not come to terms with Germany on a basis of the "status quo." When England went to war, it took a step it had hesitated to take since 1935. Public opinion had finally been aroused by a whole series of injustices and the prospects of a whole series more. An announced war aim of England la the liberation of Poland and Czechoslovakia. Both these countries have nationals fighting in the allied Army. Support Is being received by the allies from Czechs and Poles abroad. To accept German terms on the basis of the "status quo" would be A ranker betrayal than Munich. Conversations with the neutrals have also been Instituted by our State Department and there is no doubt these conversations plus the Welles trip add up to something important It may be that this government is looking forward to that day When peace comes. The peace terms will bo of concern to all, not merely the warring nations. ' Unless a permanent peace follows this war, governments the world over may look to their continuation with grave misgivings, for a darker age than that ever known will descend upon a world that refuses to recognize the needs of Its common people.
The Beginning of the End By the end of the month the German government will have its campaign to write 'finis* to the story of Czech Jewry well under way. This will not be the first time in the history of Bohemia that the Jews have been expelled. But this Jo by far the cruellest expulsion. Two years ago the Jews of Czecho-SlovaWa lived in complete accord with their non-Jewish brethren. Agitation had been stirred up by those proponents of the Sudeten question, hut Czech Jewry had no Inkling that the coming storm would break so soon. They were prepared to defend their 'island of democracy/ to go down fighting. Instead they now have the shameful humiliation of being hounded as beggars Even a year ago, when a shadow had fallen across the land, the Jews still were protected. The Czech government refused to submit to Nazi demands it introduce the Nuremberg laws. To the everlasting credit of that Czech government, it will be remembered that in the last hour of Independence it defied the German will for injustice. When the German armies marched Into Prague, the Jews knew that the very worst coon would happen. Since that fateful day, less than a year ago, the Protectorate has been preparing the entire Jewish population for exile. Nearly all the communities have been liquidated and their members sent to Prague. A systematic loot has been in progress and property confiscated. The actual expulsion was'to have begun on February 1, bat unfortunately, for the Reich, the Gestapo leaders were found to be embezzling not only the Jews but. the government as well. • -Czech Jewry has a proud history. It boasted the oldest communal buildings In Eafop4—tne oldest synagogue, the oldest community center, Tbecbains from the ghetto sates had long %xtttg In the Jewish City hall, to symbolize the freedom Czech Jewry had enjoyed for many generatfonff, Not ghetto chains are to Imprison the J e w this time.

By RABBI FREDERICK COHN The world dreads war. If it wisfces to avoid war there is only one recourse. It must unite! All other means have failed. "In union there is strength; not only strength but security. 'Collective Security1 is the slogan for the day; and for the day after. There can be no peace unless the nations of the world get together, and sensibly, rationally take those steps that shall prevent any one individual, nation or group of nations to launch into a war, or by its arbitrary, unrestrained, unscrupulous and defiant action precipitate a general war, or plunge the world into a chaos that may result in war at any moment. There is more talk of such united action on the part of the nations than there has been for a long time. The world is beginning to realize that it is the nations' only hope; that it is the only practical method that can avoid war, and lay securely the foundations of peace. The world must be internationally organized on the basis of justice, and reason and common sense. This is the true political science. This is the upshot of all study and investigation. This is moreover the phase or stage that the world has reached in its political evolution. The world is ripe for a union of the nations. It Is being compelled thereto by inevitable events. It is this way that God works in bringing about His unescapable purposes. The League of Nations, scorned, derided, opposed in so many quarters, still existent but temporarily Impotent—wounded in the house of its friends, or those who should have been its friends, its natural, logical sympathizers and supporters—Is being revived, first In the thoughts of an ever-increasing number of men, including the world's leading, most responsible statesman; later, we are confident by Governments including—I am SO bold to predict—our own United States of America. All the signs point that way, and world conditions and necessities more and more compel it.

LETTERS The following letter w&s eeired by R a b b i Lewis, Jewish Press Book Reviewer, from M&x L. Berg&s, Author of the book "Cold Pogrom," which was recently published by tjae Jewish PubUcg. tton Society: Dear Rabbi: My publisher forwarded to me your review about my novel "Cold Pogrom" in the "Jewish Press," Omaha. It is not my habit to .write to any one of the reviewers. But your article impressed me BO much, that I have to make an exception. I waa not only deeply moved by your appreciation of the novel, but much more by the way you understood my real intentions of trying to give a lesson to the American Jews. I don't think It Tery important for me to gain a personal success with this book. It is much more important to show to all the Jews in the world, how •we,German Jews have failed, BO that the others may learn by our downfall. r: No other reviewer up to now brought this point out so clearly as you, dear Rabbi. And, therefore, I am thankful to you. The 'spirit of your review is that spirit I hoped to convey to the Jewish land non-Jewish public in the New EWorld, But as you see, I am no more in Exile in Shanghai, but at home in this wonderful country. The flino-Japanese hostilities around fih'hal made my wife and me refiugees for the second time, losing moat of our few belongings again. ,We lived then in Manila for about 14 months and came to the U. S. 'A. through the kind assistance of Prof. Albert Einstein about a year ago. As it may interest you, I wrote during this year another l>ook with the title: "Shalom." It's the odyssee of two Jewish emigrants. And besides writing I try to get lectures and have every time a fine response from the audience. Your review gave me great happiness and encouraged me very much. I am with my sincerest thanks Max L. Berges.

I know that their virtues are more than their vices: As against the terrible Jews you saw and the terrible Gentiles I saw in the night dub there are the thousands upon thousands of Jews and Gentiles •w<ho are nice people. ; So I can't blame all the Gentiles for the few who disgusted me in the night club; nor can you justly put on all the Jews the sins of tho few who annoyed you. We Just have to take people aa we find them. • You don't lecture Gentiles; who offend your sense of good taste and I don't Intend to lecture offending Jews. After, all, human life is interesting because of its variety and humanity would be dull if composed altogether of Chesterfields of g o o d manners like you and me. The rude bounders serve, as downs in the pageant. So let us laugh, my dear friend. (Copyright, 1940, by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate.)

Youth AUyah By Evelyn Levy They come — bewildered children — bruised by fate, Knowing not why they've drawn their country's hate; Robbed of all h u m a n rights, crushed by brute hands That would destroy their race in Nazi lands; Hungry and homeless, death In life was theirs 'Til Palestine fulfilled their saviors' prayers. Children of sorrow, persecution, pain — Through Youth Aliyah they ihall live again! They learn — these rescued waifs —• to till the soU, Learn the nobility of worthy toil; Each child according to his likes and bent In Youth Aliyah schools — Hadassah sent. Learning to speak Israel's majestic tongue — The language of The Book, as David sung — Sheltered and heated, taught tenderly two years. They shall go forth Jewry's young pioneers.

WEIZMANN AT WHITE HOUSE President Sees Solution to Palestine Problem Washington ( J T A ) — President Roosevelt w&s quoted l a s t w e e k by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, as expressing the belief that when the war is over a "specific solution" to the Palestine, problem will be f o u n d . Leaving the White House after a conference with the President, Dr. Weizmann paused to tell reporters that "the President a p p arently knows a great deal about Palestine and is deeply interested." The Zionist leader "was accompanied to t h e White House by Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador, who i n t r o duced him to President Roosevelt but said he himself did not participate in the conference in t h e Chief Executive's office. Before catching a plane for Florida, Dr. Weizmann, discussing his visit to Washington, said he had come to the capital "to see a number of persons and to continue to present our cause to them." Visits The State Department revealed later that Dr. Weizmann also held a conference with Wallace Murray, chief of the Division of Near Eastern Affairs, and called upon Secretary of State Cordell Hull to pay his respects. For the first time in 21 years

retired Supreme C o u r t Justice Louis D. Brandeis and Dr. Weizmann met last week. Dr. Solomon Goldman, president of the Zionist Organization of America, was also present. Justice Brandeis seemed cheered by tte report Dr. Weizm%nn brought with Mm concerning situation iu P a l e s tine, Dr. Goldman said. The 83-year-old jurist was delighted to hear that Palestine was dally receiving and absorbing refugees from the European war zone. Both Justice Brandels and Dr. Weizmann were convinced &t the close of the c o n v e rsaUou that "Palestine held out the largest if not the only hope" for solution of the Jewish problem, Dr. Goldman reported. Both were convinced that at the conclusion of the war the civilized nations would arrange to make Palestine a home arid hayen for the Jews. Aaron's house ,once the dwelling of the famed 12th century Jewish financier, Aaron of Lincoln, is the oldest private dwelling in England. Two Jews, John C o h e n and Daniel Levy, were speakers of the. Parliament of New South Wales.
London (JTA — The L&adoa Daily Telegraph and M o r n i n g Post, commenting on P r e s ideat Roosevelt's sending of Undersecretary of State Stunner Wells to capitals of belligerent countries, said: "It may be hoped that apart from his studies in the four mala capitals he will see something of what the Germans are doing in Poland and Czecho-Slovakia." (Iu Washington, it appeared very unlikely that Welles would visit Poland or any part of German territories except Berlin. A demand for social justice and elementary freedoms for all citizens of countries throughout the world was contained in a declaration of policy issued by the executive committee of the British Labor Pary. The declaration does not refer specifically to Jews, but a spokesman for the executive said this clause included Jewish citizens. Patronize Our Advertisers
