Mirror of Achievements of Various Groups Reveal the Wealth of Our Communal Endeavor A Resume of BaA Orgaiiization

v-

During a time of economic repression, communal, activities are usually among the first to feel the effects of the troublous times. But in Omaha, the past year, 5691, has marked a milestone in the progress of the Jewish:, communal life of the city.

Plans. formulated for the betterment of the community were executed with unhampered success, and in general the work done through the various Jewish organizations continued to enhance the treasure house of •the community's achievements.

This bird's eye view of the pan? orama of 5691 in the Omaha Jewish community is presented through the mirror of the accomplishments of the various organizations.

A significant foundation for progress was laid in the preceding , two years when forty-five organizations combined into a Citizens' Committee and authorized the Bureau of Jewish Social "Research to make an exhaustive study of Jewish community effort in behalf of the indigent families, the sick and the aged, the orphaned and neglected children, the

wayward youth, and the spiritual needs of normal youth.

This, self-analysis, thistaking as it were of inventory of the community's activities, brought to light urgent needs and revealed latent powers in the community with which to meet these heeds. The survey farther helped to formulate some far-reaching objectives, the immediate result of which .was the organization of the Jewish Philanthropies to pool the community' resources in behalf of national and international Jewish causes worthy of support, and to cope with the basic problem of providing a Jewish education for Jewish children.

RESULT OF SURVEY The more significant effect of this study was that it paved1, the way for the coordination of all social work in behalf of Omaha Jewry." There gradually emerged the plan for iihe unification of all organized effort into a single and all-embracing^ organization—^the Jewish "Community Center'and. Welfare Federation.

Since the early part of this year the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Welfare Federation "and the Jewish Philanthropies have merged and'the work of these- organizations have been unified and coordinated and are now, functioning as departments of the Federation, governed by Committees responsible to - the Executive 'Committee of the Federation.

The unification plan has already, despite its brief existence, proven its soundness and practicability: a clearer view of the whole community program is being obtained through coordinated planning; economy in operation and a more equitable distribution of the community's resources are being effected; leadership and active participation of Omaha Jewry in social service activities is being allocated and utilized in . accordance with the requirements of the service, and. the individual interests and capacities of the workers.

gram fell' to Omaha' Jewry's veteran leader, William L. • Hohanan." With him on the Executive Committee are: Henry Monsky, first vice-president; Sam Beber, second vice-president; Mrs. J. H. Kulakofsky, third vicepresident; Harry Silverman, secretary; Abe Goldstein, treasurer. Honorary officers: Dr. Philip Sher, president; Mrs. Morris Levy, vice-president; Harry B. Zimman, vice-president; A. B. Alpirn, Mrs. Herbert Arnstein, Dr. A. Greenberg, J.: J. Greenberg, Abe Herzberg, Harry H. Lapidas, Jack Marer, Harry Malarshock, Morris Milder, Mrs. Louis Neveleff, Irvin Stalmaster, Harry A. Wolf, Isidor Ziegler.

Among the leading spirits in the progressive, development of the community social service program during the past five years was Samuel Gerson, who recently left Omaha for a brief leave of absence for further study.

The present executive director of the Jewish Community Center and Welfare Federation is Jacob S. Pearlstien of Hew York, former campaign director of the American Palestine campaign and experienced in welfare work. .

THE JEWISH PHILANTHOPIES

The second annual campaign of the Jewish Philanthropies to raise $42,150 for local, national and international needs was inaugurated on May 11.

The quota for this year's campaign was less than in the preceding year, although a larger number of institutions were made beneficiaries of the Jewish Philanthropies. This was made possible because of economy in opera- OFFICERS „ tion and careful budgeting.

By WILLIAM E. HOLZMAN PRESIDENT, JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER AND WELFARE FEDERATION r

At this time of the year it is in order to extend New Year's Greetings to members of our faith. It should be a time of rejoicing and the offering of good will.

While -conditions in our community are not as good as most of us would Ulte them to be, at tlic same time I feel that we have a good deal for which to be thankful . . . In our vicinity we are not suffering as much as citizens of other cities and of Europe are suffering and there is a hope and a promise that conditions will right themselves before long. With this thought in mind it is proper that we should all give thanJes and be charitable and look to the future to bring us that which we most desire.

Here as elsewhere we still have our communal problems and the depression of the past two years has caused greater burdens to fall upon those of our leaders who are active in communal and charitable work. It becomes the duty of each and every one of us to now, more tlian ever, Tput our shoulders to the wheel and aid those who are less fortunate—to help them in every way possible—to give \them as much as we can the benefits and the enjoyments "wldch we who are more fortunate are indulging in. My ifelea to the citizens of our community is that now is the time %hat every one of us is to be put to the test. This is a lime when we must give and give more than ever to aid all our communal institutions such as the Community Center, and other worthy institutions. I have confidence in the citizens of Omaha—I know that every one even without this plea will do his duty. : ; -,

May it Tning to you and your family "health, happiness, peace *wd prosperity. May it tec your hopes fulfilled and may it be rich in the successful: accdinplishment of/ypur highest aims.

New Year (greetings ^ By C. rA. SOBENSON !ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF NEBHASKA;

I extend greetings.

No one creed, class,, nationality, or race, can claim to own our country.

It belongs to all of Us who cherish its ideals of. religious freedom, government of the people, and equal opportunity to all.

True Americanism does not mean ruthless suppression of various cultures and beliefs brought from across the sea. Our country calls to the Jews, Germans, Bohemians, English, Irish, Italians, Polish, French and Scandinavians, all, to give to their adopted land the best and highest in their cultures and traditions. Then some day out of the commingling of all these different cultures and ideals will come one culture glorious and wonderful beyond comprehension.

That we are divided in personal religious beliefs is not of great consequence. The important thing is that we be united in building for our children and their children a great civilization. To that effort the Jews of America will make great contributions. members did valuable work last year in assistanting the Jewish deaf and blind throughout the state. Mrs. Kulakofsky was also in charge of workers for the Community Chest and Red Cross Christmas seal drives.

Mrs. Sam Beber remains as Chairman of the School Friend Department.

Mrs. Bailie Elgutter is Chairman

of the Sewing Group which meets each Thursday to sew for the Red Cross.

Mrs. B. A. Simon, head of the Ways and Means Committee, has charge of the annual rummage sale, and was also sponsor of the benefit bridge party given last year.

Mrs. Julius Newman continues as Chairman of the Telephone Commit-

And besides these numerous duties, the organization takes charge of relief work with a sympathy and understanding that is a credit to its sealpus* members. The Jewish Women's Welfare Organization is now in its 30th year—making it the oldest group of its kind in the city. Future plans will bring to light even better work than hsa been done before.

The Omaha Hebrew Club, which has the largest membership of any of the local Jewish organizations, has been a potent power for good in the community during its thirtynine years of existence.

Since its organization by a handful of pioneer, far-seeing citizens, it has been a blessing to many of widow of a deceased member and to members sick or in distress, besides donating liberally to the various charities. Visits are also paid to brother members who are ill, and night watch has been arranged for seriously ill brothers and for deceased brothers.

The year's social activities again kept pace with those of former years.

Large attendances have marked the meetings, for many of which prominent speakers were secured. The social picnic was culminated by the annual Omaha Hebrew Club picnic, held this year the latter part of August at Fontenelle with over two thousand of Omaha's Jewry frolicking there for the day.

The outlook for the coming year looks very promising.

Spiritual Reform.

Temple Israel is making preparations to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary this fall, sixty years of progress in which the Temple has been creating good will and a better understanding between .the creeds which constitute the community.

During the past twenty-seven years Babbi Frederick Cohn, outstanding locally and nationally and a member of the executive board of the Central Conference of American Babbis, has guided the spiritual attributes of the Temple. He has continued to be in popular demand as a speaker be-

fore all types of organizations, and he has by no means restricted his communal activities to bis own congregation. Babbi and Mrs. Cohn just recently returned from a summer tour of Europe.

The Temple Sunday School, under the supervision of Babbi Cohn, has again enjoyed a successful year. The Temple library is being used even more extensively than before.

Most of the purposes and ideals of the Temple are carried out through the programs of the Temple Brotherhood and Sisterhood.

The officers of the Temple Israel congregation during the past year were Dave Bosenstock, president; Harry Wilinsky, vice-president; Mil-

ton E. Abrahams, secretary; Louis Hiller, treasurer.

Trustees include Henry Bosenthal, Harry Bosenfeld, Max Holzman, Sol L. Degen, A. Goldstein, Manning E. Handler, Sam J. Leon.

• • # Conservative The year 5691 has been one ©f steady growth for the Conservative Synagogue. The High Holy Day services were led by Babbi Peter Halperin, a senior student at the Jewish Theological Seminary of New York.

Babbi David A. Goldstein came to take up bis duties soon after the Holy Day season in November. Services throughout the year were very well (Continued on Page fr—Section B.)

service followed, by a tea and reception, and a Chanukah Sabbath for the children of members of the congregation, to which the kiddies turned out en masse; to enjoy an afternoon of Jewish story telling and games.

An annual Purim ball was inaugurated in March of this* past year, all of those attending being enthusiastic about it. Two of the newest activities sponsored by this organization and which have met with undreamed-of success are the Cafeteria suppers held once a month at the Center, and the Oneg Shabbos gatherings for members on Saturdays.

The cafeteria suppers, of which Mrs. B. A. Simon is in charge, were started as a means of bringing together, outside of services, members of the congregation as well as the auxiliary, and they have well served their purposes, with approximately 175 people being served each time.

The Auxiliary members do the cooking, and a small sum to cover the cost of the food only is charged.

The "Oneg Shabbos" gatherings are sponsored by the Educational Committee, of which Mrs. David A. Goldstein is chairman. This group to which all Auxiliary members are welcome, meets at the homes of various members for a varied Jewish program of lecture, discussion, and music.

The Auxiliary has not been backward contributing to Jewish charity, and also has been well represented by its members in aiding charitable drives.

Many other activities too numerous to mention have kept the interest of members in this organization for the past year, while the program outlined for the forthcoming year is planned to again hold their attention.

Mrs. William Alberts is president of the Conservative Auxiliary. Other

officers: Mrs. J. J. Greenberg, first vice-president; Mrs. Irvin Stalmaster, second vice-president; Mrs. M. F. Levenson, recording secretary? Mrs. Benjamin Minkin, corresponding secretary; Mrs. J. Stein, treasurer, and Mrs. J. H._ Kulakofsky, auditor.

Zionists Steady, concentrated progress rather than events of outstanding brilliance has marked the achievements of the local Zionist district during the past year.

The year was significant in that more and more of the business, professional, and younger element became interested in and aided the furthering of the Zionist objectives and the Jewish National Homeland in Palestine. An ever-increasing number of people are learning the true aims and aspirations of the movement and the accomplishments being recorded in the Holy Land.

The outstanding event on the local calendar was the visit here of Jacob De Haas, chairman of the organization committee of the American Zionists and one of the moving spirits in the movement. At a mass meeting he explained the policies of the Zionist organization, the political situation,'and the economic upbuilding of Palestine. During his visit he made many friends and converts to the Zionist movement.

A number of important meetings were held during the course of the year. The outstanding of these was the one featuring a discussion led

by Philip Klutznick on whether the negotiations with the British government are satisfactory.

The year locally was also charac(Continued on Page 7—Section B.)

Books of Past Year

By HENRY MONTOR In, the following comprehensive article, Mr. Montor reviews the literary output of the year 5691 and chooses ten books in Oe fiction and ten in the non-fiction field •which he regards as the outstanding volumes of the twelvemonth period. His comments on the work of contemporary Jewish writers provide an illuminating survey of the status of Jews in the literary world.

—Editor. .

The noteworthy aspect of the books written by Jews daring the past year is their unprecedented preoccupation with some phase of Jewish life. In Teiews of the literary output of Jewish authors in previous years, it has been necessary to emphasize that such and such a book was selected for inclusion among the best volumes of the year simply because its author was Jewish.

And inevitably there followed the observation that writing Jews have no concern with that milieu which should have the most intimate attraction for them and with which they should be the most conversant. .

It may, of course, be a coincidence that a greater proportion than ever of the books by Jews published during the past' year have some form of Jewish background. On the other hand, it is undeniable that many Jews who have hitherto remained aloof from the Jewish question and who have professed to see their birth as a pure accident with no relationship whatever to their temperament or their outlook are beeinnine.to nene-

trate beyond the fiction which they set up. The inwardness of the literary Jew may be a natural phenomenon, the climax of a process of normal ..development It is more likely, however, that the outside world is a more potent factor in making the Jew turn to himself for his literary material.

The Jew everywhere is being subjected to an extraordinary pressure. Many respond to that force by repudiating their Jewishness entirely. Many more, however, begin to take a closer interest in the factors which oppress them. That makes for a greater percentage of Jewish writing.

THE TEN BEST I have been thoroughly arbitrary in selecting the number ten as the limit for the best fiction and non-fiction of the year. But out of the fiction ten, eight deal, entirely with Jewish life or a Jewish character plays a central role. In the non-fiction list, four are in one way or another related -to Jewish literature and history, past or contemporary. That is the highest percentage that has ever been compiled.

It must be said at the outset that the mere fact that a book deals with Jewish life did not give it a place in the selection of the year's best. Almost all the ten in both lists not only compare favorably with the books that might he selected in a general summary but in most instances are synonymous. Tht coincidence might furnish the theme for a long essay on thfe utterly disproportionate number of Jewsin the literary world. What holds

true in the professions, with regard to Jewish overcrowding, is most certainly true in the writing field.

It will not be long, perhaps before the Author's league in his country and the P. E. N. abroad will begin considering the problem of clamping a numerous dausus on Jewish writers.

This measure of self-protection by Christians will be forgiven in the case of some writers. In the main, however, it is not chauvinism to say that writers of Jewish origin dominate the contemporary world of letters far beyond their proper ratio. The explanation for that will be left to Jewish theologians and to professional Jews who have "worked out some mystic theory as to why and how Jews constitute the Chosen People.

The ten hooks by Jews which, I think, emerge from the level of monotonous writing are the following (fiction): Success, by l i o n Feuchtwanger; Last Bays of Shylock, by Ludwig Lewisohn; Fifteen Babbits, by Felix Salten; Samson and Delilah, by Felix Salten; Beloved, by Sarah Levy; Back Street, by Fannie Hurst; The Pure in Heart, by Franz Werfel; Thirty-Onfe Families Under Heaven, by George Fink; A Jew in Love, by Ben Hecht; and Yehuda, by Meyer Levin.

The ten most important books in the non-fiction field which include one by non-Jewish authors, selected because of its significance, are the following: Liberty in the Modern State,

by Harold J. LasH; Universities, by Abraham Flexner; Since jCabaxjv-by-

In many respects Harold Laskfs "liberty in the Modern State" is the most important volume of the year.

Written with graceful simplicity, it is a powerful statement of what the modern liberal can and should believe.

It is a book which adds to Laski's prestige as the most competent political philosopher of our time, whose rationality is equalled by his literary felicity. Lion Feuchtwanger's "Success" is an impressive study of social justice in our time. Written with that keenness for detail which has come to be associated with Feuchtwanger's style, "Success" compares with some of the finest work of Theodore Dreiser, and has the advantage of more fluent writing. In "The Last Days of Shylock," Ludwig Lewisohn again reverts to a theme of which even his best friends are beginning to weary. The idea of carrying the Merchant of Venice to Palestine is a brilliant fantasy and might have been convincing had not Lewisohn treated the thesis of the frustrated Jew in his best writing during the past few years.

well as the forces which accentuate them. Flamboyant Fannie Hurst has written an unusual study of the Jewish mistress in "Back Street." It is a novel which has all the rococo for which she is noted, and yet it breathes a real understanding of those social forces which are hammering away at marriage today. It is an authentic study and convincing. Moody, mystic Franz Werfel has delved into the religious realm in his latest novel, "The Pure in Heart."

OUTSTANDING JEWISH BOOKS OF PAST YEAR .Continued from Page 1—Section F.) ty-One Families Under Heaven." It has not the doctrinaire atmosphere of Michael Gold's "Jews Without Money" but it shares its frankness. This story of a Jewish mother crushed by her Christian husband who looks down upon her provides an insight into the problem of intermarriage in tiermany, at an angle entirely different from that of Sarah Levy's study of intermarriages in France.

Ben Hecht's "A Jew in Love" is not, intrinsically, a great piece of writing.

It is included, rather, because Hecht who has sedulously avoided any treatment of that life which he : should know most intimately has finally, decided to use some cf the material at his disposal. His real aim, of course, was revenge rather than remorse. On the same basis Maxwell Bodenheini's "Duke Herring" should be included.

But since Hecht's volume is selected as a symbol, it may stand for both bopks, which express the mutual: admiration of these two authors for each other's most repulsive, characteristics, "Yehuda" by Meyer Levin is the most sympathetic and the most convincing novel out of Palestine that has yet appeared in English. It throws more light on the new Jewish spirit and its manifestations than most of the other factual accounts put together.

"By RABBI N . FELDMAN 'ADASS .YESHTJBIM: SYNAGOGUE

Tonight ushers in the year 5692 for Jewry the world over. itisMo^Hashxmahj, the beginning ofr a new year.

But thexJewtslt people have more than one name"for each of' their Jiolydays. Thus, Passover'is also called the Holiday ofl:Spr^^Sh^ot1iU'^j)\ktiomn as the Holiday of First Fruitsj Succoth is likewise named the Holiday of Harvest. Each of these titles has a special significance, giving the Holydays a double meaning. !

So, too, has this holiday two names. The first is Rosh Hashonah, the beginning of the year in the Hebraic calendar.In addition, in:our holy Torah, in all prayers, and in Kiddushihis momentous holidy is known as tJie day of remembrance. For despite the tribulations and unbearable sufferings of the Jew throughout the centuries of his historical existence as year by year he endured new crises, still the Jewish, people, the People of the Book, who liave stored away such wonderful memories and such rich background, must not despair. It is satisfying enough for him to look on the far distant past, and the remembrances will breathe into his^eart new hopes. On Rosh Hashonah these remembrances of our past lend us inspiration for the future.

Cfn this holy day I want to express my sincere best wishes and my blessings from tlie depth of my lieart to all Israel and bless them with a good and liappy year.

By HARRY A. WOLF, PRESIDENT OF H . A. WOLF CO. AND UNION PACIFIC ASSURANCE CO.

- At the beginning of the New Year it is time thnt we stop in the daily grind that is lAfe and take stock. 'And we should not fear to do so, for though times are hard and conditions seem the blackest "there is strength to be gained in adversity" And it is tliat tone that I wish to be the keynote of my greeting to my people on this our Rosh Hashonah.

From the history of our own people we can learn that many times in the past they have risen from the dust to newer and greater heights there to glory in the strength that is learnt only from trial.

No one will deny that we are passing thru a period of hard times; no one will deny that the business life of our country seems sunk in the slough of depression, but it is not for us to bewail or bemoan. This period of depression, cyclical as it is, is as necessary to our economic stability as was the preceding period of bloated prosperity, for from this economic stagnation will come anew people, a people who will have learnt the bitter lesson of overconfidence.

The bonds of sympathy which draw men together in a common humanitarianism will be stronger, for the rich will liave felt close to them tlie sufferings of the poor, and the poor will liave seen the rich toppled from their hitherto unassailable pinnacle. There will rise in the future a people with a new sense of values, a neto feeling towards their fellowman, a stronger more careful race.

Toyovi, my people, I say, take heart on this our New Tear. Rejoice in the blessings that have been given us, and view with calm eyes the future, for the days to come wM again see us in the smiling sun of peace, prosperity and [jiappiness. In this country there are a people numbering a hundred million, a people made sturdy by trial.... with heen minds . . . . inventive genius . . . . and an ability to , exact from the soil their livelihoods; they will not fail and Hlvoughihe present seems dath and troublesome, it is only : the dark that comes before the dawn.

By HENRY ROSENTHAL PRESIDENT, USTION OUTFITTING CO.

According to the dictates of custom and the requirements of a more or less highly .complicated existence, ice at the approach of the New Year undertake a summing up of our activities of the past twelve montlis and lay plans for the approaching new year.

There are very good reasons for this—Everyone learns best by experience; no one can carry on for a year without gaining valuable Icnvwledge. Therefore, our mistakes should be noted carefully as we progress and necessary safeguards employed to prevent a repetition of same, if possible.

Now, let us undertake a short survey based on our experiences of the past year. No, we have not made as much money—but what of that! Is the world any less beautiful and has nature lost any of its wonders? Does not the sun shine as brightly and do not the flowers bloom as heretofore? Have we not continued to enjoy many of the .material comforts of life? The greater effort, the harder - work,ihe necessary self-denial, and the keener application .which may be necessary to accomplish the same, or even. lesser results in the new year as we have accomplislied in the past should be splendid experience for us.

"To note a man's true character one must see him in adversity" and I entertain the hope and belief that all of }us will find our stock of courage ample to carry us through .{whatever experiences may confront 'TIS; that our hopes will ^materialize and our highest aims be fulfilled.

Another year has rolled by*-and we frankly take pride in looking back at another year of constructive progress* It is due to the confidence we have in Omaha and the confidence Omaha has in us that we, with the splendid cooperation of the sub-contractors listed here, have been able to help beautify the city's skyline arid help build bigger pay* rolls. It thrills us to know that what the Cooper Construction Company builds, builds Omaha.

I

At the present writing we are sending skyward further monuments of progress-the Roosevelt Apartments at 48th and Davenport; the Reida Apartments at 35th and Jones; the Beautiful Condon residence; the Elk City School; and the Mayper Apartments at 53rd and Farnam.

Just as in our buildings we tamp brick and mortar into beauty, so too do we hope that the New Year brings you a life of beauty and of service for many, many years to come*

If capitalism can bring peace, .security and happiness to the—multitudes, it is better than socialism with confusion, poverty and slavery.

The important question, then, is the psychological one—"Why do people wish to fight?' These questions in their turn involve a study of the .origins of malevolent passions, and thence of psychoanalysis and th« theory of education.

he makes a proposal which antizionists cannot ignore. The Soviets have by no means introduced the millenium, and whatever freedom professing Jews have gained in the new state, has come at tremendous cost.

I inquired from my Russian friend how H came about that children and young people were turning surreptitiously to Judaism and Zionism. "The power of the Jewish message and the beauty of Jewish culture combine with Zionist ideals to furnish an avenue of spiritual escape to the psychically under-nourished Jews of th« Soviet Republic"

FREEDOM OF WORSHIP Joseph Wood Krutch recently indicated that man is confronted by the human dilemma of finding any and every system he adopts self-contradictory and inadequate. Not even the skeptic is relieved from thi necessity pf making choices, "although he may be aware that he chooses in more ox less haphazard fashion and without that illusion of knowing what he fought' to chose which is so comforting to others."

It matters not under what system the Jew lives provided it shells freedom to worship, to obtain opportunity for self-development in the highest spiritual terms, and to labor for a social order which will approach closer and closer to the Messisnic ideaL We have lived under monarchies, Czardome, oligarchies, dictatorships and democracies.

The latter for the n.oment seem to have favored us, but sinister tendencies in republics may alter this friendliness. Academic anti-Semitism in the United States is only one indication of the increasing hostility to Jewish competition. What matter it that in combatting the dread infantile paralysis, the names of Jews, such as Landsteiner, Kolk Flerner, Fleischner and others are in the front rank? What matter it that a certain Dr. Moses Zwick has invented a new X-ray for the study of the human kidney? What matter it that Jewish scientists and research-students are extending the boundaries of human knowledge.

Blind fear and prejudice persists in erecting barriers against Jews in medical colleges and university teaching. It remains to be seen whether

Jews flourish better under capitalism or socialism; it is undeniably ironic that the most successful projects in the new Palestine have been Tindertaken through private initiative and investment, along the lines that the bourgeois Otto Kahn advocates.

We need not be doctrinaire about the forms of government; we are most concerned with the effects of governments, particularly upon minorities, like the Jews.

FOR A BETTER SOCIETY The Messianic ideal of Israel is expressing itself today in the description of Utopias which men of science and achievement are envisaging.

Fridtjof Nensen has written in "Living Philosophies" his view of a more satisfying society: "By all modern inventions and progress in science, by better hygiene and medical care, it is certainly possible to improve materially the conditions of life for all classes, to make life fuller, richer, healthier and happier for all citizens, and greatly to reduce the differences between the poor and the rich.

"By modern improvements in architecture, lodgings can be made much better and, for the poorer classes, more comfortable. The greatly improved transportation systems—automobiles, motor busses, tramways, railways and so on—make it possible for people to live farther apart, instead o* being crowded together in narrow streets. Radios, movies, phonographs, and other contrivances make it possible for almost everybody to get entertainment.

"With the cheap clothing procurable, most people can be fairly well dressed. We have thus the means to create a brighter, more catisfactory existence for all men. It is left to us to use them. We should, therefore, have reason to look with confidence and hope upon the future."

Bertrand Russell remarks: "With the problem of poverty and destitution eliminated, men could devote themselves to the constructive arts of civilization—to the progress of science, the diminution of disease, the postponement of death, and the liberation of the impulses that make for joy."

NATELSON'S 1928-1929

FAIDLEY BU|

In the days of the Pharoahs, slaves sweated and groaned as brick by brick they erected gigantic monuments without a soul. Their slow, clumsy efforts were ineffective because the whip-hands failed to realize that joy in one's work is the consumate tool without which that work can never be done with any degree of perfectness.

J A-twentieth century institution, we have made the insignia of our company a symbol for "fair wages and an honest job." This policy of having a deep regard for the interests of the builder and the employe as well as the employer has enabled us in times of depression to keep up our payrolls and at the same time insuring our men of fair wages.

Herein lies the secret of our workmanship, and at the same time we have used that same diligence in the selection of the sub-contractors, who have in rio small measure contributed to the success of our efforts. They have worked hand i n hand with us since our establishment in Omaha and our tribute to them cannot be too high.

Buildings which beautify the city stand out as permanent monuments to the justification of our policy. During 1929, 1930, and 1931 we were privileged in building a better Omaha by erecting among others Natelson's, the Faidley Building, and the St. James Orphanage Buildings.

Our achievements of the past inspire a vision of the future, a future deep-rooted in the ^Foundation of "fair wages and an honest job."

their ills? ' Is it a political state? Or is it the desire for a cultural center?

I remember very well the days when Theodor Herzl started his work. At that time, when phrases were the only possessions of the Zionist movement, grandiose dreams were developed.

There was talk of a political state comparable to any European state.

But as time has gone on the folly and the impossibility of such a goal has become apparent to ever increasing circles of Jews. I have no doubt that if Jews should make an insistent drive for the establishment of a political state at this time that not many days would pass before thousands upon thousands of Jews would find throats cut And that would not be a sacrifice to attain the final end. It would merely be a vain spilling of blood.

You cannot ignore the Arabs who live in Palestine. Perhaps the Jews do have some rights, though politically and even morally the land has always belonged to nomadic peoples — of which the Jews were once a part.

But Jews, with a sense of reality, must realize that the 700,000 Arabs cannot be annihilated.

WHY NOT CULTURAL CENTER? And what do these gentlemen mean when they talk of a Jewish cultural center? The phrase is meaningless.

What sort of culture could the Jews achieve in Palestine that they cannot achieve elsewhere, or for that matter, what culture could they create that I am not as capable of creating ? When I ask for an exact definition of what this culture is supposed to mean, I hear only stammering and indecision.

And then I will be told that the Hebrew language will be revived. But one might just as well talk about bringing back the oxcarts and the sun dials. The laws governing the growth and death of languages cannot be controlled by man's ambitions.

because that is the nature of the soil, Of course, there is much talk these days of developing the industrial growth of the country. But there must be an outlet for industry. The only aavilable markets are in the Near East But that market is not receptive to industrial development.

To change the habits of living and the customs of the peoples in. that area would take a minimum of five hundred years. Then Jewish industry in' Palestine might find a real outlet And what are Jews to do in. the_ meantime? : The Jews have tried their hand at developing the country. They have spent vast sums of money in Palestine—so much that the Zionists are never frank about it when I try to find out exactly how much. Certainly enough to have' accomplished some real good somewhere else.

Over the Etnek

The above picture, taken from an airplane, is of Mishmar Ha-Emek (The Watch Over the Emek), one of the latest Jewish colonies established in the heart of the Valley of Jezreel.

There is plenty of light and space, but few flowers.

The Palestine pioneers ."keep watch" over the safety and growth Qf the Yishub.

The Irish tried exactly the same experiment by attempting to revive the Celtic language. They are making a brave effort but their failure is already apparent The centuries of disuse, the centuries of acclimatization to new languages, to new vehicles of thought cannot be conquered by some fantastic scheme of national regeneration.

If Zionism were not a religious movement, it would not ignore the very obvious fact that Palestine can never be a Jewish homeland. I have no objection whatever to any proposal that Jews as a group settle in some land where they may escape persecution. But it is absurd to settle them in a country which is wholly inadequate. If Zionism had no religious source, the Jews would seek out some area in South America, or Russia, or Africa. If they planted seeds in such countries, they would be sure of getting rich crops. But in Palestine they are not even certain of getting the seeds back.

I am what might be called a territorialist, as was Israel Zangwill.

Not, however, that I believe that Jews should segregate themselves.

The assimilation of the Jewish people is going on steadily and should go on steadily. All the barriers of creed and dogma, of nationalistic pride and chauvinistic intolerance must ultimately come down. .That way lies the only hope for the solution of the Jewish problem. For the Jews to set themselves deliberately against the evolution of social thought, is not characteristic of their usual intelligence.

INFEASIBILITY OF'NATIONAL HOMELAND But outside of being socially undesirable, the establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine is not feasible. Consider the width and length of the country. And on top of that keep in mind the two large mountain ranges. And you realize that there cannot possibly be any land for agricultural colonization — on the scale which Jews have iji mind.

Five years ago I visited Palestine and studied the country—but much more of my information has come from a reading of the available documents in the matter. The land is hard and labor-resisting. It is desolate

The Tragedy "The 'Germany's Leading Jewish Novelist Discourses on Jewish Superi* ority and Inferiority H i e Difference Between W 6erman w and "Jew"

By JACOB Author of "World's Illusion," Wedlock,"'Caspar Hauser" etc.

'- No other essay by Jacob Wasserman delves so deeply into the inner recesses of the tragedy of the Jewish soul. In this hitherto unpublished chapter of his diary, Wasserman tells of his•: discussions with a Christian friend with whom he took refuge in Zurich, when, as'a young man, he lost his position in Freiburg because his .employer discovered that he was a Jew. (This is the Freiburg incident referred to in these reminiscences) Wasserman's analysis of the "divis^ ion" between German and Jew is strangely timely—although it refers to the pre-war status o£ the Jew in Germany—The Editor.'

twenty-four hours. At this cafe we stayed and talked until late at night; then we went home, my friend got into bed and I lay down on a borrowed mattress, and we continued talking until the morning dawned.

The PreTDurg incident was a constant torment to me. My friend noticed that I was keeping something from him, for I had not been able to bring myself to tell him about" it, but had explained my flight as due to some unimportant dispute. With delicate tact he finally managed to make me divulge my- secret, and thereafter My friend's circumstances in Zu- many our nocturnal conversation rich also were strained; having centeredof about this theme. quarreled with his employer he had been forced to leave his position, and That intrinsically minor incident had found no other as yet- Our mode brought us to generalizations and disof life was as follows: We slept all cussions of life as a whole and then day in his room, and in the evenings back again to the strictly personal went to a cafe where a friendly waiter subject of my own existence. And granted us credit. There we drank after we had traveled many such coffee with milk and ate a stupendous roads together a gulf suddenly apnumber of rolls—pur only meal in the peared between us.

HOSTILITY NOT AGAINST INDIVIDUAL BUT AGAINST RACE I confessed to him something to which I could not reconcile myself, something which I had always refused to admit to myself: I felt as a member of a nation, equal to others in human status and civic rights. But if any one could, without adequate reason and without laying himself open to condemnation, treat me as a creature of a lower, order—then either my sentiment was based on error, or the understanding which had seemed to support that sentiment was fallacious and deceptive.

He replied that hostility- was directed not against me but against my Tace, against my identification with a foreign body -within theVnation. I was prepared to hear this argument, but could not answer it without feeling a sense of shame and indignation.

Granted, I said, that these strang-

ers are your guests—why do you trample upon-all the laws of hospitality, which ure also the laws of humanity? And if we assume that you regard them as annoying intruders— why do you tolerate them and commit the hypocrisy of making humane pacts ? Better open warfare than this living under the same roof in sham peace and hidden hate.

Well, was his mystifying comment, the Jews are a part of us;-however things ate, they are a part of us. I protested. 'They are a part of you, and yet you treat them like Tats, like parasites? • •'• He replied: Who would think of such a thing? Only political.and social mischief-makers do that.' Enlightened Germans know what they owe _the Jews and that the the future will only increase their debt to the Jews.' ,. .'.",'.

PRESIDENT, OMAHA COMMUNITY CHEST

Greetings and best wishes to the! Jewish people, for their happiness, prosperity and well being during the coming year:— We are going through troublous times, particularly from, an economic standpoint, and in all probability there "will be many more than the average demands for relief and assistance.

The Jewish people have always had the reputation of "taking care of their own." Not only do they do this with their own families and peoples of their race, but they are outstanding for their willingness to do their part in all community, charitable and welfare movements.

As president of the Omaha Community Chest I extend thanks for your cooperation in the past and express my belief in your best endeavors in the future.

Jews and Germans—I could not 'grasp this division, nor could I forget it: I thought about it long and strenously in order to make it clear to myself. I asked: What is the dividing factor? The difference in faith?

But I am not a believer in the Jewish faith, just as you are no believing Christian. " The difference in blood?

But who is competent to judge blood ?

German blood has been mixed with that of French immigrants, with that of Slavs and Norsemen and Spaniards and Italians, probably also with the blood of the Huns and Mongols when their hordes invaded German territory. • Excellent, exemplary Germans of definite non-German descent might be named—artists and generals, poets and scholars, princes and even kings.

Can the two thousand years of the Jews' life in the West have failed to modify their blood? Though it be cape the natural law. Or are they of alien blood have not the air and the a different moral constitution, human soil and the water, history and a com- beings of another cast? mon destiny, action and work in com- That might be so, he answered.

Thereupon I : Sorely he did not mean that that insurance agent of Freiburg had not been impelled by a petty, malicious and mischevous prejudice?

No, he did not mean that. But what happens on a lower plane is no criterion whereby to judge the views held

on a higher. Just as a legislature cannot be held responsible for trespassing on the part of the executive power.

He felt, therefore, that my moral constitution differed from his, that I was a" human being of another cast?,

A JEW OF DIFFERENT CAST? Instead of replying he asked, very seriously and solemnly, whether — word of honor—I really felt as a Jew: I hesitated. I wanted to know the purpose of the question.

He lauphed, saying'he could clearly see my difficulty in placing myself.

The concept "Jew'' was not easy to define.

Of course, I rejoined. No easier than the concept "German."

He wanted to know whether there was any doubt as to my mother's having been Jewish, and whether any case of racial mixture, or even the suspicion of it, had ever occurred in my family. When, smiling I answered both questions in the negative ho shook his head and observed that my case was extraordinarily impressing— a most unusual case.

I insisted upon his explaining what he meant by "my case." I tried to help him by saying: The fact that among Germans I feel as a German is of no final significance. The German is at liberty to regard this as effrontery or otherwise, to accept me or not. When he accepts roe it is con« descendingly, by way of exception, often only temporarily, because some* thing I have achieved has forced him to respect or like me, or carelessly, negligently, or because it suit his purposes. To be admitted into a social group merely because the usual bars are let down is offensive and undignified for both sides.

This he considered. I continued: In my innocence, I had always been convinced that I was a part of German life, of the German people, by birth.

The language is the breath of life to me. To me it is far more than a means of communication, something casually learned and used; its words (Continued on Page 2—Section C)

New Year's Edition—THE JEWISH PRESS—Friday, September 11, 1931

" 'Page Two—Section C '

The Tragedy Behind "The Chosen People" (Continued irom Page 1^-Section C) RELATIONSHIP OF JEW and rhythm constitute my Innermost life, it is as deeply a part of me as if it had been mine through all eternity. Is not this more important than a listing in a register, than a formal confession of faith, than an. ingrown prejudice, than a stranger's role kept up because of fear and pride on the one side and superstitution, malice and inertia on the other?

Yes and no, answered my friend.

These arguments threw light on my particular position; but in general matters were not at all like that.

I objected, that I did not want to dwell on my situation alone.

SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS ISOLATION i _ Said he: Let us first examine general aspects of the question.' As vah entity the Jews have never been able to identify themselves disinterestedly with the causes of their host-nations.

Within the state they have withdrawn into social and religious isolation, a frozen bloc in the flowing stream. As long as their isolation was forced they could claim martyrdom; but now that the restrictions against them have been lifted their lack of will and capacity for this identification is evident.

They still, consciously or unconsciously, lay stress upon the doctrine as false and misleading. And inevitably their undying hate had to turn against .Christianity in particular,, for toward it their feeling was that of a mother whose womb gave birth to a traitor—the betrayer of their people, of mankind, of God. What is comparable to such hatred? What can mitigate it? Only this hate can, perhaps, explain the power of resistance, the patience of the tribe, their endurance of suffering and their unexampled vitality. The determination to wreck vengeance for what they have suffered had probably been rooted in their souls for generations, has penetrated every cell of their bodies, so to speak. The individual who has developed differently can do nothing against this, cannot be taken as proof that this is not so. Instincts of this sort continue their functioning under the surface; no agreement between well-intentioned enlighteners, no sorrow on the part of those who have left the. main body, no example 3et by those who have changed can do away with them.

It was painful for me to hear this.

I pointed out that this was the tragsdy of the petrified misunderstanding and malicious persecution; but he did not agree, replying that, like so many athers, I was the victim of a cultural delusion. How long, he asked, is it since the Jews have progressed beyond a barbarically low mode of life?

Even in the eighteenth century they obdurately maintained their alienation, their gloomy seclusion. The old Goethe regarded the Jew approximately as the American today regards the nigger; this despite Nathan the Wise, despite Spinoza and Moses Mendelssohn, despite the Jewish influence manifest in the rising Romantic i movement, despite his undoubted appreciation of the veneration due to the historic Jewish institutions, the religious and social communities.

The childhood impressions he had received in the Frankfort Ghetto were stronger. The Jews always recall the oppression and persecution to which they were subjected when attention is • called to objectionable traits in their racial demeanor.

No Jew will tolerate an objective judgment of Jews—not to mention an unfavorable view—not even of individuals, though they be degenerates, the moment the slightest reflection is sast upon Jewry as a whole. The sad result of this fault is the tendency to speak of Jews.in either the glozing tones of the apologist or the hideous accents of slander. Their eulogists - all emphasize the absolute moral purity of the Jews and how unvariably they are law-abiding, as if no Jew had ever stepped over the line. Yet a considerable number of Jews were members of the robber bands that made central Germany unsafe between 1750 and 1820. I will not speak of the Shylocks of every degree, the ruthless usurers and unscrupulous speculators. It -would be absurd to think that these millions of peopl advancing through the centuries in an unsafe social position, almost'entirely unprotected, their lives and propert: always in danger—are under greater obligation than their keepers and tor mentors to conduct themselves irreproachably, that their - criminals • are more abominable'than others. To he entirely just one must take the op posed point of view. The charge against them, however, is of a more fundamental category. It concern their incapacity for spiritual adaptation. Their intellectual adaptability is «xtrao*dinary, even too great for their own good. But spiritually they havens an entity, as a racial identity remained to this day what they, were in Biblical antiquity.

CONDITIONAL

In this sense my friend spoke at great length, defending his viewB almost dictatorically. I remember that I could not escape the logic and force of his arguments. He was inexorable; and I, who wanted to get at the bottom of things, loved him for this unyieldingness, though vaguely I felt that in our united striving for. the truth he set himself above me and that the essential recognition which we finally, reached did not bring him the liberation-and relief that it gave me, to- whom it opened a door, and pointed out a goal. I sensed a subterranean warfare, a shadowy tension, and knew that more and:more he was becoming my opponent.

The so-called emancipation undoubtedly marked an epoch in the life'_ of the Jews, he continued; the nineteenth century movement of humanity ended their pariahdom. Every decade brought them closer to us, binding them to us with the—let us admit, external—ties of common political and economic interests^; But save in the case of exceptional individuals the relationship never became unconditional. Why? Is it because they try none the less to preserve their identity as Jews? Again, why? As long as they were despised it "was their privilege. and their duty, their armor and their weapon to isolate themselves, to develop their narrow community, to nurse a half illusory, and hence all the more fascinating nationhood. After the way to a common life with us had been cleared their intellectual character changed with amazing- rapidity; with amazing resilience they made our needs theirs and theirs ours, followed the dictates of the common weal, devoted their .mar?

velous gifts to art and science and social progress. But fundamentally they remained Jews. 1 do not say they should have become Christians, though many did so for reasons of expediency, or because they no longer felt bound to their people, or even out of conviction. , .'.."'

The question is whether they can become Christians in any but the superficial sense, as' the majority of Christians are; the question is whether they have, after conversion, stopped being Jews in the deeper sense.

We do not know, and have no way of finding out. I believe that the ancient influences .continue effective.

Jewishness is; like a strong flavor; a minute quantity suffices to give a specific character—K>r, at least, traces of it—to an incomparably greater massj- Truei they have, in a certlain sense, become Germans. But something opposes this. What might it be? Is it their peculiar spiritual inflexibility, in contrast to th^ir intellectual mobility and fluidity? That explanation is inadequate and incomplete.: Nor it is the power of tradition—not exclusively, at any rate, or no longer. The demands of life modify and overcome tradition; and the discipline of tradition erects a useful barrier against extremism, against radical changes, against excessive individualism with which tha Jews are charged. What, therefore, is that opposing force?

I told him that his dangerous mistake lay. in generalization. There are Jews of various sorts. All lump judgments are distorted and lead to exploitation for partisan purposes.

Why not look humanly at the individual human being? Fault-finding frequently gives rise to faults, and exaggeration is born of repetition. The Jews must be given time. Many of them, bounded and intimidated, hardly..know, of their right to breathe; others are intoxicated by the unaccustomed expanse* of space and abundance of opportunities.

THE OPPOSING FORCE Yet all the time I felt that my defense could not parry my friend's blows, for I spoke from a much lower standpoint. Only much later, after decades of inner struggle, was I able to answer his questions, his "What is that opposing force '"—that question whose justification I had denied but "which none the less drove me to sincere self-analysis.

Frojn the earliest times the Jews have designated themselves the Chosen People. The proclamation of their faith in then? election occurs in all their myths. : Without examining the sufficiency or insufficiency of their reasons for this belief one can yet see clearly that on the one hand conviction clung to so obstinately for thousands of years involves unusually great obligations -which the group can never wholly fulfill and that it engenders an abnormal state of moral tension -whose inevitable result is a series of reactions that fill the group's life with catastrophic occurrences; and, on the other hand, that such an exion, when made the basis of a national existence, paralyzes moral development and supplants it with moral quietism, which leads to arrogance and self-righteousness.

The tragedy in the Jew's life is the union in his soul of a sense of superiority and a sense of inferiority.

He must live and find a balance in the friction between these two emotional currents. I have found this in almost every Jew I have met; it constitutes the most fundamental, most difficult and most important part of the Jewish problem.

From the simple, human point of view, however, the fact that one is a Jew makes for neither superiority nor inferiority.

I have come to realize that a race cannot be permanently the Chosen People, and that it cannot permanently designate itself as such, without conflicting with the proper order of things as seen by other nations. The chosen individual always is in a posi-

tion to assume responsibility for his acts; but in the case of a chosen people the individual gradually takes on a role to which he is not entitled and for -wWcli he is not fitted* but which leads him to claim for himself the advantages of the group position the while he shifts his responsibilities upon the group. . Even if we should grant that a single magnificent achievement might entitle a people to call itself the• Chosen People for. all time—how can, such a claim be secured and defended against, criticism, against' the new demands of a new age? Hovf isj the complex "people" to be defined? Can mere progession of a faith suffice for election ? That would be irrational.and immoral.

For a people the idea of election is justified only within a temporal limit.

To sever it, from its historical context and, so to speak, project it into eternity is iniquitous. -The election

of the individual, however, is eternal The New Song and has its roots in eternity.

taxation at the time the revolutionary legislation about the tenants was rushed through.

Before that, on the recommendation of the Johnson-Crosbie Commission, the Government had voted L. 35,000 in agricultural loans for the food and forage for the farmers whose holdings had suffered from drought and fieldmice. No one could have done more than he to coax the Arabs to enter into conversations either in London or Jerusalem over the Development Scheme, and it is no reflection on his cajoling powers that the Arabs in public maintained their sabotage to the end, whatever they may have agreed to informally and secretly. Sir John Chancellor leaves Palestine without regret. His name remains inscribed on a street in Jerusalem, on which stands the health center built

by Nathan Straus, and which the Jews will always call Rehov Straus, whatever else the city plan may call it.

YADJUR AND PUBLIC SECURITY But for the ghastly crime near Yadjur in April when two young halutzos and one halutz were killed, and the mysterious disappearance towards the end of the year of a halutz and halutza who started out on an innocent excursion and appear to have been swallowed up, there were no serious disturbances. The PassoverEaster, season, with the Nebi Moussa

dervishry, passed off uneventfully.

The clash between the Mufti and the anti-Mufti forces was somehow averted. The Mufti tried to distract attention from his serious quarrel with th Hebron Moslems by arranging a col lection .during Nebi Moussa to erec monuments over the graves of thi only threes among the accused Ara murderers who paid the supreme penalty for their crimes in August, 1929 The breach in the Moslem-Christian camp, deep at the beginning o: the year in consequence of the figh over a cemetery in Haifa and th< murder of a Christian editor, wa, superficially healed towards the end although Moslem-Christian rivalry over the position of Arab advisor on the Development Commission may accentuate the difference once more.

A hang-over of the 1929 disaster was the very belated trial and sentencing of several Arabs of the Colonial village accused of attempting to murder the Brosa family at Motza, while they or their fellow villages massacred the Macleff family. This belated justice was rather resented by the Jewish community, who regarded it as an infringement of the peace pact signed at Motza. Attempts to revive the anti-Jewish boycott failed, and the old slogan, "Sell the Jews everything but land, buy nothing except land" fell largely on deaf ears There were several attempts to interfere with Jewish ploughing, and a few

the last stage of his amazing selfmade career; He will remain in history the great figure in the economic emergencies of Great Britain in* the first quarter of the twentieth century.: •

Sir Samuel's Comeback While Lord Reading's call to office is the" concluding chapter of his biography. Sir Herbert Samuel's assumptoin of the office of Home Secretary in Britain's National Government definitely marks a comeback and perhaps- will signify the opening of a most significant chapter of his career.

-Sir Herbert Samuel is only sixty-one years old. I say "only" advisedly, because in English politics the years between the sixtieth and seventieth year are considered the most propitious for political leadership. The great DisraeK was sixty-four when he became Prime Minister for the first time.

There is a great contrast between Reading and Samuel. Reading comes from a poor Jewish family, and his success is all of his own making.

Samuel is-the scion'of a wealthy family and found many social and financial connections ready-made in his quest for power. In his early twenties he entered the political arena; he was hardly 35 years old when he was appointed Parliamentary Undersecretary to the home office. Not quite forty saw him a member of the Privy Council, and at the age of forty he became Pdst Master General and a full-fledged member of a British Cab-

inet. . At that stage of his career it was freely predicted that the young Samuel was destined for the highest honors in British politics. He was a convincing Speaker and a most skillful party politician. There were few in his party (the Liberal Party) who could compete with his organizing abilities or who had his grasp of economic problems. But, strange to-say, Samuel,' the successful politician, the brilliant party leader was not a popular figure in London's East End. As Home Secretary during the war he forfeited much of Jewish sympathies because of his severe attitude concerning military conscription for Jewish non-citizen residents of England.

In fairness to Herbert Samuel it must be pointed out that he never relaxed in his interest in Jewish affairs. When Dr, Weizmann will some day reveal the intimate details of his efforts to obtain the Balfour Declaration, ha will have to give a good deal of credit to Sir Herbert Samuel. Insiders know that Lloyd. George refused to approve or even listen to any Zionist overtures unless Samuel was present. But Samuel's: lucky star started to wans during the war. It is true that he acted in many important capacities during and immediately after the war, but he did not advance much from 1910 to 1920. As a matter of fact, when he was offered and accepted the post of High Commissioner for Palestine Samuel was thought to have definitely abandoned all hope of playing a leading role in British politics. For a Jew the post was full of traps and hurdles. If Samuel's Jewish standing had suffered greatly when he was Home Secretary in 1916, his Jewish stock reached rock bottom in 1920-25, while he was the head of the Palestine Administration.

Now Appreciated Sir Herbert Samuel was generally blamed for the famous Churchill Whit Paper, which was the first British step in limiting the political aims of Zionism. Samuel was also severely criticized by the Zionists for his tendency to be more British than the British and his consistent disregard of Jewish claims. Today, however, after the Passfield White Paper and after the Palestine events of the last six years, Jews have come to the conclusion that Samuel did the utmost with a very delicate and most difficult and ungrateful task. In any case, when Sir Herbert Samuel returned to England he was considered out of the running as regards high political honors.

Sir Herbert Samuel, however, proved to possess the patience and the cunning of a Disraeli. He threw himself into party politics with a vengeance, and in 1927 became the chairman of the Liberal Party organization. It is true that the prospects of the party were anything but bright.

Its parliamentary representation had reached a low record and its future in view of the continually growing labor strength, was indeed dark. But Samuel worked at the rejuvenation of his party with a fanatic energy which in the last general elections resulted in a complete failure. The Liberal Party elected some fifty members of Parliament, but retained some standing because it held the balance of power between the Labor Government and His Majesty's Opposition. Samuel's personal political future seemed doomed. His leader, Lloyd George, head of the Liberal Party, while older than he, retained enough vitality and lust for action to bar his road to the actual political leadership of his party.

Today, however, the situation has

completely changed. Lloyd George's illness has advanced Sir Herbert Samuel to the very highest post in the Liberal Party. When the dramatic fall of McDonald's Labor Cabinet became imminent, it was Sir Herbert who negotiated, in the name of his party, with the Conservatives, the Laborites and the King. He is now one of the strong men of the National Coalition Government. In the inevitable General Elections," which will most probably occur this winter, he will lead his party. While it is very improbable that the Liberal Party will achieve control of the next Parliament it is not out of the question that it will retain the balance of power. Under such circumstances a merging of Conservative and Liberal interests is not beyond possibility.

And who knows if Sir Herbert Samuel may not some day before his sixtyfifth year become the second Jewish Prime Minister of England? He has the perseverance and ability to play the political game to a successful end and according to the rule of "who waits long enough wins."

SOUTH AFRICA Ever since the South African National Assembly passed a bill rigidly limiting the immigration to that part of the world, there have been recurrent rumors of anti-Semitism in South Africa. It was said with assurance at the time the bill was in the reading stage thai its provisions were aimed almost solely at the Jews. . . .

-The Minister of South Africa to Washington^ was vehemently . indignant "when it was intimated to him that there is anti-Jewish discrimination in his country. When it was asVed whether it was at all possible for anti-Semitic outbreaks to occur there, he very vigorously remarked f that "the, contingency is so remote tff&xt no special measures for coping jwith it have been considered." He pchfttacterued news dispatches teSine of anti-Semitism is South Africa "alarmist ard erroneous."

Carol A. Davila, the Rumanian Minister to the United States, who has, during the past few years, often figured in-the pews in connection with anti-Jewish demonstrations in his country, is very happy to point out that "w disturbance of that kind has occurred during the yast year."

Discrimination in Bulgaria ? Nonsense, say* S. Radeff, Bulgarian Minister to the United States, who assures the Jews of America that their co-religionists in Bulgira, "have always been irreproachable citizens."

"Jews in Bulgaria enjoy exactly the same rights as the other citizens in the country. There is no discrimination whatsoever against them. They are received in all the clubs. Jews have oc•cupied distinguished positions in different branches of administration including the army and the Foreign Office. There is no Jewish political organization in Bulgaria. Jews enter the Parliament as members of different political parties. For their spiritual life the Jews are organised in religious communities which are completely autonomous. The Bulgarian government pays the salary of the Great Rabbi and his staff.

The Jews have always been irreproachable citizens. In peace and in war they have given to Bulgaria innumerable proofs of devotion and loyalty. They have stimulated the economic life of the country and contributed to the progress of learning and of arts. No other race in Bulgaria surpasses them in philanthropy, It is with a real pleasure that. I avail myself of this opportunity to express the feeling and the appreciation of my country for our Jewish fellowdtizens."

nnouncing Our First Anniversary

France has no Jewish problem, Ambassador Paul Claudel believes. He dismisses the suggestion that Jews are anything but an integral part of the French people with the remark: 'There is no such thing as a particular political status for the Jewish population in Francs. Since the French revolution in 1789, the Jews have the same rights as the other citizens without any distinction. In 1848, the Minister Cremieux gave the French citisenship to all the Algerian Jews."

The Jews have proved their loyalty to Czechoslovakia, and, in turn, find themselves partaking of every phase of. that country's development, according to Dr. Ferdinand Veverka, Czechoelovakian Minister at Washington, who says: " "In regard to the true political status of the Jewish population in zechoslovakia, 1 should like to recall that Czechoslovakia recognized the Jews as a distinct nationality and granted them full rights of citizenship:; and complete equality in attaining the highest offices in the State. We have quite a number of Jews in the Czechoslovak National Assembly and seviral Jews have become members of the Government. There are two memers of Parliament Dr. Ludvik Singr of Prague, and Dr. Julius Reisz of Bratislava, whom in 1929, have been elected on a Jewish ticket. Other ewish members of parliament have been elected as members t>f Czechor lovakian parties.

The fact that the Jews:have siic:eeded in electing two. members of Parliament, representing,l&rrtjof all, he interests of their race, shows that Czechoslovak electory system affords i racial minorities ample ^pportuni;y of. 'maintaining - and 'developing their political and racial individuality.

I may add that the Jews'hive proved loyal and-good citizens of the Republic BO;ihat^ the course of justice and equality which Czechoslovakia has taken has been fully justified."

Seeing that Jew* in common with the rest of the citizens enjoy equal liberties, and privileges, they are able to maintain their own culture and schools, practice their own religion* and in general, adhere to their own customs. Their minority rights are respected and are adequately protected by the common laws of the Union so that no special measures of protection are called for.

PROFESSOR FINDS SEMITES INVENTED PRESENT ALPHABET

$%S*KX$SSSK$SSSSSSK^^

Disagrees With Theory That Phoenicians Devised System Chicago.—(J. T. A.)—The alphabet invented by Semites, not by Phoenicians, as scholars have thought.

This is the conclusion reached by Professor Martin Sprengling of the University of Chicago, who has deciphered the inscriptions on Mount Sinai, •where according to the Bible, Moses received the tablets of the Ten Commandments. Dr. Sprengling has published a monograph on the subject.

Dr. Sprengling believes that the alphabet was invented between 1850 and 1800 B. C. or more than 3,700 years ago, by a Bedouin mine foreman who was working in the Sinai desert for the Egyptians. This, Bedouin believed to have derived a simple system of twenty-one symbols in order to keep records of mine operations and to have discarded entirely the complex system of hieroglyphics, or picture symbols, then in use by the Egyptians.

Dedicatory Inscriptions There are fourteen known example of the Mount Sinai inscriptions. Professor Strangling has shown that most of them are dedicatory inscriptions to Baalat, the feminine form o: the god Baal, against whom Moses and the Israelites warred and a priest of whose cult the prophet Elijah Jailed.

While most of the inscriptions ex press thanks for -favors rendered by Baalat or are petitions for favor from the goddess, there are also some reference to Seir, the land just to thi east of Sinai, proving that the peopl who made the inscription and wh< •were working the mines under Egyptian direction were from that land One inscription Professor Sprengling translated to read: "I am the badger (miner) Sahmilat, foreman of min shaft No. 4."

Of Religious Significance.

The articles in the Jewish museum numbering sixteen hundred pieces in all, are invaluable not only because they are rare examples of ancient vitual accoutrements, but because they constitute one of the most important exhibits of Judaica now on view. Gentiles as well as Jews have shown a keen interest, and in fact, so enthusiastic has been the reaction of the non-Jew that attendants are continually questioned regarding the religious significance of the various objects.

gratitude to Schachne Moses Salomon, through whose perseverance and generosity this collection has been made possible. Mr. Salomon, who is a well known art collector, has designated part of the International Art Galleries (also known as "Salomon House") as the temporary home of the Jewish Museum.

Eventually the British Government will acquire these treasurers, bat it is Mr. Salomon's hope that his collection will, in the long run, find itself in its rightful home—Jerusalem.

Many of the articles date back to the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, and are rare examples of their kind. An ancient

Torah unearthed in an obscure celar inl Poland, an ark curtain dug out of the earth in Spain, a Torah crown found in Portugal, a "Finger of God" from Venice—they are all the remains of a persecuted people who, driven from their homes, their very lives in danger, still found "the courage and the time to bury their holy relics to save them from the desecration of the infidel.

If in dollars and cents Mr. Salomon values his collection at $3,000,000, then its historical value is almost incalculable; He has lately purchased from the Soviet Government many of the objects they confiscated from synagogues

the, intricacies of the Egyptian picture language, took a bold step and produced an alphabet by representing actual single sounds, with a single symbol which might be combined with others. When an industrial depression hit the Sinai region, the desert people, migrating in all directions, took the "alphabet with them, according to Professor Sprengling.

One group, he lielieves, went to

Palestine and Syria, becoming the Canaanites and the Phoenicians, whom the Israelites encountered 350 years later, while others went into southern Arabia, becoming the'Minareans, and a third group went north, to become the Arameans. The latter group, he believes, carried the alphabet to India, and this same branch of the alphabet was taken by the Arabic conquest of 650 C. E. into Turkey and Europe.

A Happy New; Year

RARE COLLECTION OF JEWISH ART KEPT IN LONDON London.—(J. T. A.)—What is perhaps one of the most singular collec-. tions of Jewish, art objects. ia the world is to be found in the Jewish Museum, housed at the International Art Galleries in London. The ancient and invaluable Torahs crowned in jewelled splendor and covered with cloths of the most intricate and delicate embroidery in gold and silver, the carved candelabra, the equally delicate and beautiful Menorahs, the brass aiid gold candles, the gold and silver Kiddush cups, the Chanukah lamps of quaint and beautiful construction—they all stand in silent defiance of the popular assumption that there" is no Jewish art.

If Jewish art is to be measured by paintings, etchings, sculpture and the like, then Jewish art as such is only now awakening to conscionsness and artistic creation. Jews have adhered too well to the commandment T h o u sbalt not make graven images," so that like "Bezaleel, the son of TJri, the son of Huri, of the tribe of Judah" the Jew has devoted himself rather "to devise works, to work in grold and in silver and in brass and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner'

It can be expected that the Jewish group of Polish population will be among the firat to benefit from the

results of the ever-increasing efforts of Poland's gqyernment in the economic field.

In order to assure the Jewish population of a normal and peaceful development, the Polish Government not only cares for their rights and privileges inside the country, but also in-

tercedes in their behalf on the international terrain, as numerously happened in the recent times, when official representatives of Poland did not hesitate to shield the Jewish interests in foreign lands."

DENMARK \'-'-The^C3iar^'.d'Affaire8'i»r..*<h«; Danish Legation at Washington, H. Wichfeld, conscious that no anti-Semitic disturbances have afflicted the Jewish population of his country, said: "I beg to state: that according to the Danish Constitution all Danish Citizens enjoy the same political rights notwithstanding their color, race or religion.

HUNGARIA G. Linzboth, Acting Hungarian Consul General at New York, made a detailed statement to this effect: According to the census of the year 1920, there were 473,310 Jews living in Hungary, Which number comprises 5.9 per cent of the total population.

Hungarians have always been on the best terms with their Jewish population, who enjoyed and are enjoying every political right granted to any other Hungarian citizen. Several Jews have been elected to the House of Representatives during the elections held this past July, and in the Upper Housa, besides individual Members, the Jewish Congregation is represented by two special members.

The anti-Semitic feeling of the Hungarian population which was noticeable after the war, but which is practically not existing at present, was due ta the reason that the short lived communistic government of Bela Kun, which claimed a great many victims from among the Hungarians, was led and directed almost exclusively by Jews. This anti-Semitic feeling was further the result of the immigration of a great number of Jews' to Hungary from Russia, Galicia and Roumania before and during the war, but the feeling against these immigrants was not aroused therefore because they belonged to the Jewish faith, but because they have been foreigners, taking away in many instances the means of livelihood of the native population.

It is sometimes said that the socalled "numerous clausus" law passed after the war, restricting, the .number of students in the Hungarian Universities, had the intention to bar the Jewish students from the Universities.

This law, however, was not an antiSemitic measure, but was due to the fact, that Hungary deprived of twothirds of its former territory through the war, was unable to support so many professional men as formerly.

Therefore, to give an equal chance of learning, this law prescribed that the percentage of students of the different races should correspond to the percentage of the total population. This law has been altered, however, to the effect'that, it limits only the number of students enrolled in each University, admitting the students to the University according to the result of their previous studies. That this law does not make any ] discrimination against the Jews, can be seen from the fact, that while the Jews constitute only less than 6 per cent of the total population, their percentage in the Hungarian Universities varies from 12 to 20 per cent.

POLAND An exposition of the official status of the Jews of Poland was given by Dr. T. Raezynski, Acting Consul Genferal of Poland at New York, in the following statement: The protection of the religious liberties of Polish Jews is assured by, the maintenance at the Ministry of Religions and Education in Warsaw of a special Jewish Department staffed mainly by competent officials of the Jewish, faith.

The so-called czaristic laws, inherited by re-born Poland and the old •Russian regime, which restricted greatly the human and social rights of Jews, have recently been abolished by the Polish Parliament The Jewish masses of Poland, numbering over 3,000,000 are living mainly in cities and towns and they make their living by maintaining small shops, and trading with peasants, who form 65 per cent of Poland's population. The crisis of the world's agricultural markets affects also the Polish peasantry, reflecting strongly on their buying power and causing great recessions in the trade of small Jewish merchants.

The Polish Government of Marshal Pilsudski takes • most seriously the plight of those Jewish merchants and Artisans and. gives numerous proofs of serious efforts to alleviate their situation as for instance promoting exports of Polish merchandise and by reducing the State budget in order to diminish taxation.

Furthermore, the Polish Government brought to life an impartial Committee consisting of both Jews

Nor was the letter of Premier Ramsay MacDonald to Dr. Weizmann made public in February, 1931, which, in explaining the White Paper, softened some of its harshest provisions, greeted with much enthusiasm by American Zionists.

VISITORS STIR ENTHUSIASM

The interest of American Jewry in Palestine matters was kept alive also by the visit to this country in December, of M. M. Ussishkin, head of the Jewish National Fund, in connection with an intensive campaign in behalf of the Fund, and by the arrival, in March, of Dr. J. L. Magnes, Chancellor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who came for the purpose of arousing increased interest in that institution. Mr. Ussishkin toured the country in an' effort to secure pledges for contributions to the Jewish National Fund, over a period of five years, sufficient for the purchase of 200,000 dunams (46,140 .acres) of inquiry into Palestine immigration land in Palestine—this tract to be and development possibilities, which divided into sections to bear the name had been conducted by Sir John Hope of each community which subscribes.

Comprehensive Review of Year Shows Interest of World Jewry During 5691 Centered About Events in Palestine By This abstract of the annual review of the Jewish year is prepared for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and The Jewish'Press from the survey made

by Harry Schneiilerman, editor of the American Jewish Year Book and assistant secretary of the American Jewish Committee. Mr. Schneiderman's yearly review, which has come' tor.be a regular Rosh Hashonah feature, covers the period from July 1, 1330, to June 30. 1931 and is based chiefly on the dispatches of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the Jewish and general press and reports of many organizations.—Editor.

was not as full, as was its precursor, of highly significant events abroad.

As in the preceding year, Palestine stands first among these lands outside of the United States which held our attention. It will be recalled that, in May, 1930, just before the beginning of the period under review, when the .temporary suspension of the immigration into Palestine of certain categories of persons was announced by the British government, much indignation was aroused in the United States, as in other countries.

A more optimistic feeling followed the publication of the report of the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, which was somewhat critical of Great Britain's discharge of her duties-as mandatory, and this feeling grew when, at the meeting of the Council of the League of Nations, in September, the rapporteur on the Commission's report upheld its criticism, and the British representatives accepted the rapporteur's conclusions, which were thereupon adopted by the Council.

While continuing to give much attention to -events affecting their brethren in foreign lands, the Jews of the United States, did not, during the past year, watch the situation of their, overseas co-religionists with the same concentration as in the preceding' twelve- inonthfl. This recession iji the interest of, American Jewry ifa foreign affairs was owing chiefly to two factors, namely first, to the "world-wide depression, which reached a very low level, insofar as the United States is concerned, during the OPTIMISTIC HOPE past year and lay a heavy restraining DISAPPOINTED hand on all communal effort; and, The turn of affairs gave ground second, to the_ fact that the past year for the hope that the report of the

which $3,500,000 was to be used by the Joint Distribution Committee, and $2,500,000 was to constitute the American share of the 1930 budget of the Jewish Agency. The termination of the joint effort at the close of 1930 and the launching of two separate drives was announced, late in December, by Felix M. Warburg and Cyrus Adler, on behalf of the Joint Distribution Committee, and the Jewish Agency respectively. The announcement declared that while the joint drive had resulted in the creation of important communal values and the laying of the foundation, in many communities, for enduring cooperation on behalf of Jewish causes, yet "the increasingly pressing need for immediate funds for the achievements of both organizations, the differing budgetary requirements, and the advisability of permitting as much freedom of choice and support as possible during the present trying economic period, have made it desirable . . . . to separate their fund-raising activities."

Following this agreement, the American Palestine Campaign of the Jewish Agency for Palestine was inaugurated on January 25, 1931, at a conference in New York City of delegates from many communities, a fund of $2,500,000 being set as the objective; the campaign committee appointed was made up of both Zionist and non-Zionist members of the Jewish Agency.

The affair reached its climax on, and rapidly died 4owri after, Jnns-1^ 1931, when a large procession of from 15,000 to 20,000 persons paraded in Mexico City. Ostensibly the proces sion was held as part of a celebration of the first annual "Die del Commercio," but many of the manifestants carried banners and placards bearing expressions of - anti-foreign sentiment, some of them specifically directed against Jews. The authorities had evidently feared outbreaks of violence, for the paraders were surrounded by police. ' In his final dispatch before leaving Mexico, the special correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, expressed the view that the agitation was not likely to extend and may even gradually die out because first, the government has recently indicated its disapproval, and, second, the agitation could not extend much further without involving business and commercial interest of foreigners who are nationals of Great Britain, the United States and other friendly countries.

On October 20, the report of John Hope Simpson was published, accompanied by a White Paper in which the government outlined its Palestine policy, based upon the report. Following closely Simpson's observations, the\White Paper declares that, in view of the duty of the Mandatory to protest the rights and status of the nonJewish population, it is clear that, so long as there are unemployed Arabs,, the immigration of Jewish laborers should not be permitted, and so long as Arabs are landless, the further acquisition of land by Jews would be unfair; inasmuch as the land now available is insufficient for the Arabs, a program of intensive land developjnent is required, during the execution of which all transfers of land will be under the control of the government;

But this did not prevent a clash between. Jewish .students of the University of Vienna, who were electioneering for a Zionist candidate, and a group of anti-Semitic students. In fact, there were anti-Jewish outbreaks of students at that institution and in other schools, several times during the year. In February, when the courts declared unconstitutional the ruling of the former rector of Vienna University, requiring the students to organize as national groups, with the German group as supreme, the rioting1 was so severe that the University had to be closed.

There was no change in the situation of the Jews of Hungary. A graphic statement of the plight of the Jewish communal organizations of Budapest was given in May in a report from the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The number of applicants for assistance is mounting steadily—from 6,436 in 1928, to 17,572 in 1929 and 19,475 in 1930. The number of inmates in the House for the Aged has increased from 100 to 500, with 1800 applicants

rejected for lack of room; the proportion of free burials has increased from between 40 per cent and 50 pei cent, to 80 per cent; other institutions have large deficits. At the same time the income of the community is waning; no fewer than 17,000 of the 26,000 members of the Hebra Eadisha are in arrears in their dues. As a result, the communal organizations have been compelled to make drastic cuts in their budgets.

ASKS CONTINUED SUBVENTIONS In July, at a meeting of the council of the Budapest community, Baron Kohner, the president, appealed to the government, which had expressed the intention of discontinuing such sub* ventions, to continue state support of religious and cultural work of Jewish communities, as in many places, these were on the verge of collapse.

Anti-Jewish student attacks occurred at the Universities of Budapest, Pacs, and Szeged, during the year.

The outbreak at Pecs was said to have been started when one of the professors praised the industry of the Jewish students.

Great excitement was caused in (Continued on Page 6—Section D)

RIOT WHEN REICHSTAG OPENED "When the Reichstag opened on October 13, Berlin Jews were attacked and the windows of shops owned by Jews were broken, but the police were able to prevent looting. These riots increased existing disquietude in Jewish circles, because of the fear of similar occurrences in other cities, and, led to a resumption of the flight of Jews from Germany. This outbreak, the responsibility for which the Hitlerites denied, did much to cast discredit upon the party, which their antics in the Reichstag and, especially their walking out in body in protest against the passage of rules against obstructionist tactics, went very far to increase.

Both before and after the Reichstag elections, Germany -witnessed the same exhibitions of anti-Semitic fury and folly as have come to be universally associated with the Hitler movement—street attacks against Jews, molestation of Jews in cafes and theaters, disturbance of religious service in synagogues and of Jewish meetings of all kinds, desecration of synagogues, and pollution of cemeteries.

The spirit of desperation which underlies the support of the National Socialists is also prevalent among the students of Germany, and there were clashes at several universities be* tween Fascist students and Jews, as well as demands for a numerous clausus for Jewish students.

GREECE CUTS JEWISH SUBSIDY

,

In July, Jewish circles in Salonica, Greece, were pleased with the an-^ houncement by the government that it was making preparations to indemnify the owners, many of them Jews, of land exproporiated several years ago for the colonization of Greek refugees from Asiatic Turkey. An op^posite reaction, however, greeted a drastic reduction in the subsidy granted annually by the municipality for the religious and educational work of the Jewish community. In place of $136,000 granted the preceding year, the subsidy for 1930-1931 was fixed at $89,310. The reduction necessitated a restriction of the work of the Jewish institutions and discharge of employes. In August the Parliament adopted a law forbidding children of Greek citizens from attending schools maintained by foreigners chiefly missionary, organizations. In order to create facilities for the 1600 Jewish children who had been attending such schools, the- government agreed to construct five new schools in Salonica, the curriculum to allow at least ten hours weekly for Jewish subjects, to be taught by teachers appointed and supervised by the- Jewish community, but paid by the government.

Such artisans are to receive the same food allowances, to pay the same low rents, and to enjoy the same pension rights, as factory workers. A further boon was given to these artisans, in May, when a reduction of one-third in their taxes was decreed. .

• In December a "five-year plan" for the economic transformation of the Jewish artisans and former lishentzy was announced by • the Comzet, the government agency for settling Jews on land and for industralizing them.

During the next three years, 135,000 Jewish youths, in addition to the 30,000 already being trained, will be absorbed in industrial enterprises, while the 30,000 subsidized students will be increased to 65,000; at the same time, 50,000 Jewish artisans will be converted into factory workers and 10,000;Jewish professional men will be trained for productive labor. Altogether 450,000'Jews,are to be turned to Industry, while 145,000 are to be absorbed in government employ, and 65,000 more are to be placed in agricultural collectives.

Hospitals and health centers established throughout the country at their own expense and by their own efforts, but free to the non-Jew alike.

Prague.—(J. T. A.)—The Jewish Colonization Association is urged by the Czecboslovakian Jewish newspaper, Zidovska Zprevy, to launch Jewish color ition movement in the Carpathian section of Czechoslovakia, for the purpose of relieving thousands of Czechoslovakian Jews in large and small towns from starvation.

The settling of Jews on land is the only, way left for saving the Czechoslovakian Jews from extreme privations, the paper asserts. At present there is stall some free land left in the Carpathian part of Czechoslovakia which can be obtained from the government for low prices.

The Jewish Colonization Association is therefore invited to establish a contact with the Jewish communities in Carpatho-Russia, in order to obtain that land for Jewish settlement, also to co-operate with the government so as to make sure that no legal difficulties will arise.

DEPRESSION HITS JEWISH PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA "Land of Gold" Finds Amount of Charity Steadily Increasing Johannisburg, South Africa—The general* economic depression which holds sway in Europe^ and America hasn't passed South Africa by. Overproduction in farm products and the lack, of markets have brought South African agriculture to a precarious stage. From the farm the crisis ha3 spread to the whole city, where the Jewish population is a prominent factor in the economic system.

Here, the crisis has assumed a different form from that in Europe I or America. There Is no white laboring class here, since all menial i work is done by the blacks. XJnemI ployment therefore among whites is j not so evident. But on the othet hand the number of "poor whites," as they are called here, is quite considerable.

The closing of the country to Jewish immigration' has hardly improved the situation. On the contrary, the situation today is even worse. Statistics show that after the passage cj£ the immigration restriction laws the white population has declined.

New immigrants are not arriving,

CHARITY 225 families, involving 510 individuals, received material aid from the Federation. Food, clothing, tent, and coal were supplied to these needy people. 12 of these families were dependent upon the Federation for absolutely every necessity in life. Others were given aid for short periods.

Twenty people were provided with hospital care by the Federation. :The Free Loan Fund has been instrumental in re-establishing 17 families. This is a commendable undertaking since it lessens the suffering and hardships of those in need who could not bring themselves to accept charity.

A great number of- national institutions are given an annual allocation by the Federation, which serves as a clearing house for the Sioux City Jews in this instance. The Talmud Torah is also subsidized by the Federation.

THE BUILDING FUND With no other means than the Annual carnival for raising funds, the Building Fund is accumulating a sum which is bringing the realization of the building of a New Community Center, nearer, as each year goes by. Mr. Max Friedman was the general chairman of the Annual "Carnival/held last May in the Auditorium.

:... In the course of the past year, it was the privilege of . the Jewish Press to carry in its columns the announcements of a number of marriages.

To those who chose the year of 5691 for this sacred event, the Jewish Press extends its heartiest congratulations and good wishes for all that goes toward making marital happiness.

The Sisterhood The membership of the Mount Sinai Temple Sisterhood met last year on ihe first Friday of each month. The meetings were opened with a one o'clock luncheon, and included the business meeting and program.

The Sisterhood is organized in the interests of the Temple, and no incident is too small, nor any problem too weighty to occupy its attention.

The group entertained members of •flie Omaha Temple Israel Sisterhood last winter, at the annual reciprocity day. Later in the season a number of the members spent the day in Omaha where they were guests of that Sisterhood.

One of the most worthwhile projects of. the year's program was the organization of the Book Review Circle which met once a month!. Current books, both fiction and non fiction, were discussed at these meetings. Other affairs of the year included a card party and a cafeteria supper.

This group of women, organized primarily to further the interests of the congregation, met once' a month in the social hall, of the synagogue, where the programs were in keeping with the current holidays and months.

One of the important events on the Auxiliary's calendar was a picnic held this summer in Riverview Park.

Daughters of Tephereth Israel The small group of women who organized the Daughterhood of Tephereth Israel have concentrated great deal of effort and enthusiasm during the short time they have been organized. With the interest of their synagogue, paramount in their mind, they have done much toward creating renewed, interest in the congregation as well as materially assisting this house of worship.

In the thre* years of its organization the Daughterhood has complete ly refurnished the kitchen of thi synagogue. 250 can be accommodated with all facilities for banquets and dinners.

By GEOBGE JOEL The past year in sport among our Jewish athletes has been replete with startling performances. New champions have been crowned, reigning ones dethroned. New personalities' lave made themselves felt in the

sportlight. Many of the old favorites have passed into obscurity. The scene changes.but the basic pattern remains.

The Jew is still interested and active in athletics.

GAIN PROMINENCE

REESE MAKES GOOD

If there was any one sport in which the Jews led it was basketball. The St. John's basketball team, a Catholic institution had the best team in the country. Captain Max Posnack, Begovich, Schuckman and Gerson were the Jewish boys who brought this school its victories. Eddie Horowitz, Captain of the Yale team, was another basketball leader. Lou Bender of Columbia led the Eastern Intercollegiata League in- scoring.

Among the other stars were Hayman of Syracuse, Weiss of Michigan/Kramer of Dartmouth, Cohen of Pittsburgh, Trupin, C. C. N. Y. and Weiss of Fordham. Lloyd Rosenbaum of Anderson, Indiana, was elected captain of the Princeton basketball team and "Cy" Aaron was given the same honor at the University of Detroit.

Aaron is the first Jew ever to gain that distinction at the Jesuit College.

The best Jewish player in either league was Jimmy • Reese or Goldschmidt of the Yankees. After three seasons of utility play he got into the Yankee lineup and .won his spurs as a real infielder and hitter.

Rosenfeld and Brooklyn and Rosenberg of the Giants, both started off the season with their respective clubs but before the campaigning was half over both boys were shipped to the minors where they met two other Jewish players, Hy Greenberg and Ike Goldstein, two Detroit rookies. Last year Greenberg was the sensation of the training camps but simply could not make the grade. Jonah Goldman of Cleveland failed to hit and was finally sent back to the minors.

SINGTON OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL PLAYER The outstanding all-around Jewish athlete of the year"was Fred Sington of Alabama. Playing his last year of collega sport the "big fellow was the greatest football tackle in the country. He was the only player to receive the unanimous choice for AllAmerican honors. Besides football Sington pitched for the ball team.

Next year he will coach, at Duke University.

Another fine- football player was Newman of Michigan. A sophomore, he successfully stepped into the shoes left vacant by the graduation of that other Michigan star, Benny Friedman.

Newman, unsung and unknown, broke into the game with what was supposed to 'be an ordinary team and through his efforts he was able to make it a real Conference threat.

EXCITING FIGHT YEAR It was an exciting year for the Jewish fighters. Al Singer lost his lightweight title faster than he won it. Three months after knocking oat Mandell he was knocked flat himself

by Tony Canzoneri in one of the strangest fights seen in this decade.

Singer was dropped in the first round.

Since then Singer has been attempting a comeback but the beatings he received from McLarnin and the new champion seems to have slowed up the Jewish boy.

BERG STILL A NEAR CHAMPION

er of the synthetic junior-lightweight title failed to climb up to the lightweight throne when he had the chance Favored to win front the champion Tony Canzoneri, Berg was knocked out when the two got together. Berg was thought to be the best lightweight in the world. His defeat was a great disappointment.

FREEMAN THE WRESTLER A word about Herbert Freeman, peer of the Jewish professional wrestlers is in place. The sport itself has had a revival and is outdrawing boxing. As a major attraction, Freeman* a New York boy, son of a restaurant owner is one of the leading grapplers in the game. He won his way through a series of bouts to a match with Londos, the champion and was promptly thrown by that gentleman but then so was everyone else. The new interest in wrestling attracted many, new performers and among them were a number of Jewish matmen.

TENNIS TITLES SCARCE Another lean year for the Jewish tennis players. Jay Cohn of California won the Boy's National title and Marco Hecht, of New York, a new name to the game, captured the junior indoor crown. These were the only national titles won by Jews. No Jews got a first ten ranking in the senior events and Willie Jacobs of Baltimore was the lone junior to make the grade. Julius Seligson, the peer of the senior tennis players, did not show any improvement and the only hope for the Jews in the big circuit is Eddie Jacobs, star of the Pittsburgh University tennis team.

The year has been an "almost" one.

A new Jewish fighter, Ben Jeby, a middleweight, was hailed as a coming champ only to be knocked out by Vic Dundee. He still seems the most likely of the Jewish middleweights.

Jewish heavyweights had a most disastrous season. Maxie Baer, the heavyweight from California, went through a series of loses—and definitely eliminated himself as a contender. Ted Sandwina continued his losing habits and is out of the first ranks for good.

The question of Benny Leonard's return to the ring again occupied the thoughts of the sporting public. Although'he has made an annual announcement of his return, this year was the first in which it was taken seriously. There is a strong possibility that he will be seen in action before the next year rolls around.

TONE-TOTALITY... an entirely new conception in radio which means everything for which radio designers have striven . . . and it belongs to ZENITH alone. TONE-TOTALITY is that peculiar ability of the ZENITH audio system to render precisely as it is broadcast, every tone that instrument or voice can utter . . . high or low, loud or s o f t . . . and the countless infinitely delicate shadings that ordinary radio loses completely. Tone-TOTALITY . . . which you can get only in ZENITH . . . is beyond description. It is so human, so real, so lifelike, so completely lacking in all the crudities that people expect even in fine radios, that it must be heard. And hearing TONE-TOTALITY casts a spell of fascination so strong that it will make you want a ZENITH hard enough to buy i t

For the first time since the days of Al Miller of Harvard, a Jewish boy won the 100-yard dash in the indoor national track championships. Ira Singer, a sophomore of N. Y. U. who but a few years ago was attending a Brooklyn High School, was crowned king of the dash men. He is the only Jewish sprinter in the United States who is given any chance of becoming a member of the Olympic team.

Sammy Behr of Wisconsin broke the shot put record during the year when he heaved the lead ball more than 49 feet to win the "Big Ten' indoor championship, but lost the outdoor title. He is, however, one of the best weight men in collegiate circles.

JEWS EXCEL AT MINOR SPORTS : Three minor sport titles were won

by Jews during the past year. Harry Wolf of New York City retained his title as national amateur squash champion. The 23-year-old boy has become the greatest racquet wielder in the game. Seymour Alexander beat Benjamin Yedlin for the one wall handball championship of the country. Together these Jewish boys hold the doflble titles. The third title to be won by a Jew -was the Ping Pong championship which was carried off

by Marcus Schussheim. He won his title at the first national tournament ever held in the sport.

SOBEL MAKES WATER POLO RECORD Another record breaking performance was turned in by Jess Sobel, captain of the C. C. N. Y. Water polo team. He broke the all time scoring record by making 283 points in one season. The old record was 195.

HAKOAH HAS BAD SEASON A review of the year in sport would not be complete without some mention of the all-star Hakoah-Soccer team— alas the all-Jewish team had its most disastrous season, finishing last in the league standing and failing to win any cup. During the year the team made a South America tour which was not entirely successful from either a playing or financial standpoint. The team is expecting some replacements from abroad which they hope will strengthen the lineup for next season.

WOMEN IN SPORT There is very little to report about our Jewish female athletes. In tennis, Baroness Levi, nee Maude Eosenbauitn of Chicago led the way and in golf, Mrs. Leo Federman of New York was the outstanding player. Neither lady won a national title but both are top notchers. Mention must be made of the tennis playing of Caroline Hirsch, a fine performer, and the failure of Clara Greenspan to develop into a player of anything but "ordinary merit, must also be sadly noted. .
