for Soviet Jewry
Moscow, (J. T. A.)—So large attendance, at High Holyday services is expected in Soviet Russia that there will not be sufficient facilities to accommodate the worshippers, it is feared.

Services Will Usher in Rosh Hashonah Tonight High Holydays for the Year 5693 Will Begin for World Jewry at Sundown This Evening SCHEDULE FOR LOCAL SERVICES

Review of Je Life During 5692 ^(Continued from Page 3-A) or in factory. This is very substantial progress.' . . "It is admitted that the Jewish farm settlements encountered difficulties this year, because many of their mem- bers went to big cities for industrial employment. • It is probable, however, • that the concessions granted to the farm-population in recent months may make for a ;return of some, oft these Jews. The greatest individual, enterprise for J e w s undertaken . by the Soviet government isr the projects of building up Bira Bidjan, - offered as an autonomous Jewish territory. A grant of some 15,000,000 rubles was made during the year to promote industrial and agricultural projects in that Siberian ; area. Propagandists; have visited centers of Jewish population in Europe as well as in. South America to encourage Jews to settle in Bira Bidjan. The colony has grown considerably. The facilities are constantly becoming more attractive. . The question of its success is not ye,t definite, however, since that depends on the willingness of Jews to_live in a domain which is still isolated.
Austria, Rumania and Hungary The Jews of Austria have been seriously affected by the growth of Hitlerism in Germany, for the mustachioed Hitler has found many converts in his native land. Incidents so frequent in Germany during the past year have been echoed in Austria. Whether it w a s the closing of the University of Vienna because of student riots or attacks upon Jews in the streets as the Vienna City Council opened its sessions or assertions in the press that Austrian finance was being undermined by Jewish manipulators, because of the Louis Rothschild 'banking catastrophe, it was noticeable on all sides that Socialist Austria was yielding to the hysteria generated in the Reich. However, the major government leaders a r e distinctly opposed to such intolerance as the student youth demonstrates. The appointment of a Jewish dean at the University of Vienna met with violent remonstrances, but he stayed. However,, t h e university authorities did yield to the demand that the student body be classified by nationality. The effect is to* deprive Jews of t h e i r rights and at the same time to set them off as a minority. In noting *: events in Austria, one must pay one's tribute to Arthur Schnitzler, who died this year after a career which made ' him perhaps the foremost Jewish literary artist of the epoch.;

ear, in several of which the minister if war was involved. But the official attitude of. the : government was expressed last September by Premier Karolyi when he- assured the Jews of the country .that the government would.do all in its power to suppress anti-Semitic disturbances. If t h e League of Nations were to investigate the working of the minority treaties, bne of its commissions would have to spend a long time in Hungary studying the suppression of Jewish rights.

One of the- most interesting phenomena of the past y e a r was the emergence in a particularly aggressive form o£ anti-Semitic propaganda in Canada. Two publications, Le Miroir and Le Goglu, with an extraordinary capacity for. vulgarity and viciousness, c r e a t e d a substantial amount of attention—among Jews. The more conservative elements are inclined to discount the effect of antiJewish boisterousness confined to media which have no circulation and no influence. Other Jews feel, however, that the existence of the publications is merely symptomatic of a virus that has long been dormant but that is now breaking out in distasteful form. During the year the reports referred to church figures and government subordinates who went out of their way to slur Jews or to appeal for relief from the Jewish "menace." A committee has been formed to deal with all forms of this propaganda, but it has not yet been effective. It is possible that there is no crucial need for its services at this time. There are somewhat more than 155,000 Jews in Canada, the latest census revealed. It is a closely-knit community with few outstanding leaders acknowledged as such, except perhaps that in the field of Zionism Archibald Freiman, merchant, and perennial Zionist President, is acknowledged as the power. The usual controversies in regard to kashruth, the administration of the Jewish education system, the real seat of Zionist knowledge and authority occupy the bulk of Canadian Jewish public action. But there is nothing either in the form of constructive Jewish achievement or in the nature of substantial, effective anti-Jewish sentiment which marks the history of Canada during the past. year.
England The most highly and best organized Jewish community in the world, English Jewry is distinguished for the placidity of its community life. Dissensions exist, but they are subordinate to the general aspect of harmonious action which the observer notes. The appointment of Sir Herbert Samuel as Home Secretary was a deserved rung in his ladder of achievement. But it is a more commonplace, incident than in America. For Jews in England are an integral part of its political life, and their selection for office is but part of the routine. The serene currents have not been disturbed this year by any controversy in regard to Palestine. Although the Zionist Executive has maintained its policy of formal protest when necessary, no overexaction either of the Palestine government or of the Colonial Office has served to recreate the bitterness that was provoked two years ago. The absence of conflict has been due largely to two factors: recognition on the part of Jews that England is too seriously involved in grave problems to be burdened by Palestine at this time; and eagerness on the part of the Cabinet to avoid delicate situations that are particularly embarrassing in a crisis.
King Carol, friend of Magda Lupescu, has g o n e "through a critical year, with premiers changing with the seasons almost. The attempt has been made to suppress anti-Semitism in Rumania. But the weeding out of intolerance is not accomplished by government edict. The affair of Samson Bronstein did much to reflect on the - government. The case was, however, exploited far beyond its deserts. A Jew accused of Communism.was subjected to a third degree. It was trans" formed abroad into a Dreyfus affair, when there was much more reason to ' raise a hulabaloo about the shooting ; at the border of five young Jews. The frontier guards excused themselves, saying they thought the refugees -' vsre Communists. In both cases the government made a sincere effort to unrto whatever wrong had been done. Complicated But the Jewish situation in Rumania is far more intricate than might - be supposed from the exploitation of • a Bronstein case. Rumania is in a financial maze.

Life of Baruch Spinoza Tercentenary of Famous Jewish Philosopher Brings Out a Few Sidelights By LEWIS BROWNE (Author of "This Believing World," "Calvary," Etc., Etc.) This year ntarks the tercentenary celebration of Baruch de Spinoza's birth, greatest Jewish philosopher since the prophets. For this occasion Lewis Browne, the distinguished author contributes this brilliant article which revolutionizes the generally accepted estimate of the "God Intoxicated Man."—EDITOR.
There are those of the great to whom glory comes like an accolade of thunder: strenuous beings who with: brandished fists and roaring throats force the very heavens to sing their praise. But there are others no less great to whom glory comes like the dawn-wind, and of them it is less easy to write. There may be drama in their lives, but it is for the most part inward; there may be glamor, but it is largely concealed. And therefore ; the biographers pass them by. For example, Baruch,de Spinoza: of commentaries on his thought there are scores and hundreds, but of accounts of his life there are exceedingly few. Clearly enough, the career of that humble lens-grinder has had little appeal for the tellers of tales. It contained too little of physical storm to lend itself to dramatic writ-ing,^too little of blood and bluster antl tears. It might have contained more, much more; for Spinoza's times encourages such extravagancies. But the man himself did not. He was excommunicated in his youth, and hounded from the ghetto in which he . had been reared; his company was shunned, his writings were proscribed, his very life was menaced. Yet, with supernal aloofness, this Jew rarely troubled to fight back. "The wise man," he once declared, "being conscious of a certain eternal necessity in whatever exists or occurs, is scarcely ever disturbed in his mind." And Spinoza was supremely a wise man.
has opened offices in Haifa and has started work on the pipe line connecting its oil fields-with the Mediterranean. • Ah airport has been established at Tiberias, and there are weekly connections now with London, India and South Africa. There is also a weekly local connection by air between Ramleh (near Jaffa) and Cairo. Palestine currency is, of course, linked with sterling, and last September's crop in the sterling exchange caused some nervousness which was, however, of very short duration. The cost of living has not been appreciably affected by the changed status of the sterling currency. The Zionist colonization effort has naturally been very much hampered by the considerable drop in the income of the colonizing institutions (the P. I. C. A. or Rothschild administration makes no exception), caused by the world depression. Not only could no new settlements be started, but the consolidation of many existing settlements has also been
very much held up. As against this, private colonization mainly if not exclusively in the field of orange planting has continued to make remarkable progress. , During the second part of the year fairly considerable amounts have been brought or remitted to Palestine by Jewish immigrants or would-be immigrants. For the months of February <when the movement took a pronounced form) till June; the aggregate amount should not be put at less than one million pounds, which is much for so small a country as Palestine. A good part of this money is BtilJ lying idle in the banks, but is gradually finding its way into the country's economy. The Levant Fair, 1932, was a great success. The number of foreign exhibitors was 821, as against 121 in 1929, and the visitors numbered 285,000, as against 120,000. The French report has not been published yet. It will appear together with the government's recommendations.
The new High Commissioner has taken up his duties with a considerable display of energy and what he has until the present moment said and done leads one to hope that next year's review may- be emphatic -in praise of his efforts and achievements. (Copyright, 1932, by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.)
Which Minyan? C. G. Montefiore is the author of this excerpt: "Don't shelter yourself in any course of action by the idea that 'it is my affair.' It is your affair, but it is also mine and the community's. "A fierce light beats upon the Jew. It is a grave responsibility this—to be a JeW; and you can't escape from it, even if you choose to ignore it. Ethically or religiously, we Jews can be and do nothing light-heartedly. Ten bad Jews may help damn us; ten good Jews may help to save us. Which 'minyan' will you join?"
TOO LITTLE KNOWN
That is why one finds in his writings no trace of those repressions which: rise from the mouths of the conventional saints like stench from hidden carrion. The man was integrated, never lunging frenziedly to lay hold of some abstinence, and then falling back in hysterical despair. He was secure in goodness, serene in his joy of life -^because he let reason guide his steps. "Whatever accords with reason," he wrote, "is in my belief most conducive to the practices of virtue." And in his own life that belief was completely validated. There are those who say that he carried reason -too far—that he thought'with such excessive acuteness and inexorable logic as" to devour and absorb the. very objects of thought. They say-that h e reduced all. life to nullity; the "ultimate truth" discovered by' his relentless rationalism seems butr an empty equation made up of a God who is nothing and a world that is less than nothing. * * * But the fact remains that he who cleaved-to such rationalism was himself a happy; man. And that fact, demonstrated as clearly in his life as in his words, is the final refutation of the carping of the mysticists. Many volumes have been written on Spinoza's philosophy and, in this year which marks the tercentenary of his birth, many more such.volumes are being written. That is good, for his philosophy is all too little known in And just that, from the point of the world, and even less understood. , view of the biographer, was perhaps But it would be goodjalso if his life Spinoza's sorriest failing.

As Individuals we have it ourselves," an English mother writes in today's "Manchester Guardian," "as also illfeeling toward Welshmen, Scotsmen, Irishmen, any nation or sect that seems at the moment to annoy or stand in our way. But some of us know that these ill-feelings, if not curbed, will sooner or later recoil on ourselves, and that 'live and let live' is a good policy."
It is characteristic that England's most generous, greatest-hearted "Prince of Givers" was a Russian Jewish immigrant, Bemhard Baron, who through his Bemhard Baron Trust is still, though he himself is dead, handing out huge sums each year for welfare purposes. And this year, as every other year, on the occasion of the anniversary of his birth, the Bernhard Baron Fund has granted munificent sums to hospitals, orphanages and welfare institutions, Jewish and non-Jewish. Though in one respect, there was a change this year. For the first time since the name Bernhard Baron swam into the ken of men, a s ' a name to conjure with, the Bernhard Baron Trust had this year to issue a statement that it is in a firm position, and that there is no question about it being fully able to carry out the wishes of its founder. Behind that statement lay the financial difficulties that for a time threatened the stability not only of the Bernhard Baron Trust, but of the whole Great Britain and of its Government. The entire country was shaken by the sudden discovery that it was standing on the brink. That was the outstanding event of the year for Anglo-Jewry, as for the whole of the population of the British Isles, of which we form part. It was that which led to the resignation of the Labour Government, and the formation of the National Cabinet, the departure of the country from the gold standard, and the fear that held us in thrall for a brief while that England might be plunging down the road with us and all our fellow citizens to economic disaster.
In the main, English Jews live quietly and comfortably. In Piccadilly and Regent street almost 90 per cent of the well dressed promenaders are unmistakably Jewish. They live in good homes in the suburbs, they are prosperous, many of them, in spite of the crisis, though the Jewish proportion of unemployed and povertystricken corresponds to the Jewish proportion in the population. Those who are well-off resort with a hectic Jewish restlessness to dance clubs and places of amusement in such numbers that, meeting them there, one While as for honours paid to Jews might conclude that London has as during the year, what was more many millions of Jews as New York. striking anywhere in the world than The comfortable standard of life in the honors paid during this year anglo-Jewry has in recent years be- that is now passing to General Sir come traditional, almost a necessity.

• , With the approach of a New Year, Jet us halt for a moment on life's highway arid in retrospection glance backward. Let us take stock of> ourselves and'see whether or not we have been unduly depressed and weighed down during the past months by & relentless siege of magnified ybrries and troubles. ; Indeed my experience in life (the merest incideiit in the Almighty's sight), has convinced me that most of Man's tribulations are due to the unwarranted and often incongruous seriousness with which many of us take ourselves. ; Wlien the yoke galls, the shoe pinches, the petty round^pl concerns and duties irritate, disaster impendsor;anbther's thoughtlessness etofag^ paus^^d^igpuJer whether it's really so vital.
It's safe to say that most of the events leading to war, riot, business and financial t social and domestic upheavals, strife and bloodshed are traceable to undue importance attached to relatively immaterial circumstances. To prove my theory try this: When worry, anger or fear threatens to engulf you, face your conscience and ask whether you're not taking yourself, your pride or your affairs too seriously. If you're honest with yourself, it's a hundred-to-one-shot that the fog of doubt, conceit or error will disappear, your attitude change, your outlook brighten and life will assume a more wholesome perspective.
With the New Year around the corner, pull up the blinds and let in the sunshine. If you want to add much cheer and greater joy to your daily wellbemgfduring the coming months, then as a panacea against much trouble, misurtderstandings, perplexity and unhappiriess, I say unto you, Dear Brother, for this &ew Year: "Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously." •v

well as every native born an equal voice in the political affairs about him. There is no valid reason why every immigrant who possesses all other qualifications requisite except citizenship should not be allowed to vote and to participate in all other political affairs. He is as vitally concerned therein as is his neighbor who is a citizen; for, to cite an example, if an income tax law is passed, the non-citizen immigrant is as subject to that enactment as is the native-born. This is not to say that naturalization should be discouraged or deprecated. It is highly desirable that the immigrant should ally himself as intimately as possible with the citizenry about him. So long as the foreigner is subject to the same civic responsibilities as the native-born, in political matters the "sine qua" non" must be equality of treatment. In that light the constitutional provision that the President must be a "natural-born" citizen is absurd. -What of the child who becomes naturalized at the time his parents, acquire citizenship ? In common with native Americans the newcomer deserves the rights of free speech, of freedom to assembly, of security from ex post facto legislation, and of an impartial trial in all civil and criminal cases. These several rights of a political nature are the necessary concomitants of the sociological interpretation of the state. The list is minimal rather than inclusive. • Itf-conjunction with these- political obligations America owes the foreign born, the right to work at a reason* able wage. This is owing both as a" matter of social justice and as a means of assuring each person an equal voice in common affairs, for it is a conspicuous phenomenon that political is a function of economic power, and that the possession of power inevitably results in the use of such ownership for' the benefit of the owner and the "detriment of the dispossessed. . But the right to work at a rate commensurate with that which allows Jopportunity for self-realization means more than merely a reasonable wage: it means the right to a voice in economic affairs of immediacy and interest.

$ ; ^ : a d i k Aleph-.of the B'nai' Brith approaches the beginnihg-of its ninth active season with the same amount of potency that more generally fruitful years have made possible. The Junior B'nai Brith has maintained its membership and its interest undiminished and has undergone only necessary changes in program as the exigencies of the situation have demanded. ' Two major projects are contemplated in the international program. Ever since the inception of the A.: Z. A., a small portion of dues paid to the international order has. been set aside as a reserve for charitable or philanthropic .purposes. In p r i o r years, from time to time,. contributions were made to such agencies as the National Jewish Hospital for its Children's Preventorium, J. C. E. S. and to the National Home for. Jewish Children. At the last convention of the order, held in Winnipeg during July, cognizance was taken of the acute financial conditions of numerous young man who compose the order who have been unable, because of the lack of a few dollars for tuition or current expense, to carry on their education. Because of this condition it was decided to use these funds as a scholarship loan fund. Commencing with the cur. rent school year, the A. Z. A. will lend sums of money, out of a fund that has been gathered together by these boys, to their own brothers, without interest, for the purpose of carrying on their education. The local chapters will be encouraged to make individual contributions to the agencies which previously benefited by the national charity fund. T h e second major project is that of •va international Hebrew essay con

test. -This is consistent with on? of tHe"phases .of' the Junior B'nai. Brith program, • namely; the revival of Bebfesv' as a' language. ' For some years the chapters" of the A.~Z. A; have organised Hebrew classes, members of these classes have taught Hebrew and in the last few years a friendly letter system has come into being whereby members of the order situated in various parts of the United States and Canada have corresponded with each other in Hebrew. In order to further this program, the Hebrew essay contest has been promulgated. It is expected that a number of the young men belonging to: the order will write essays in Hebrew and in the near future the rules of the contest and the names of the judges will be announced. . In addition to these two new major projects of international significance, the offices of the Supreme Advisory Council have undertaken a survey of the conditions in communities in which chapters are located for the purpose of discovering the type of Jewish community projects which should become the special business of A. Z. A. chapters in their respective communities.'•• The t entire gamut of the ideal Jewish ;c'ommunity program, is being examined. When this survey has been cdmpleted'each chapter* will be advised as"to the type and-nature of projects which it could under-" take for the; benefit of its own community. The general work of the order, including activities of cultural, religious, communal, social and athletic nature, will continue to be projected during the course of the year. These activities will continue to be guided by the dual leadership of the Supreme Advisory Council representing the B'nai Brith and the grand officers elected at the ninth international convention in Winnipeg representing the A.

A YEAR IN ANGLO-JEWRY (Continued from Page 8-A) that it was the Jew Monash's breakthrough at Hamel against Ludendorff, as Ludendorff himself has admitted, that was the turning point of the war, and the beginning of Germany's defeat. Jews have shared conspicuously this year in the honours lists in England. The King honoured Dr. Robert Mond, the distinguished scientist and archeologist, brother of the first Lord Melchett, by conferring a Knighthood on him. And the world of music honoured the great composer and conductor, Sir Frederick Cowen, who attained his 80th birthday. Great musicians like Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Landon Donald and Sir Hugh Allen, praised his work at the festival dinner and no less a man than Elgar described him as a
-dominating factor in the musical life of Britain since 1875. Elgar in fact was his pupil. The Taham Dr. Gaster, savant and champion of all Jewish causes, celebrated this year his 75th birthday. In art, Jacob Epstein again caused a stir, this time with an exhibition of fine drawings of Old Testament subjects. And Louis Golding created a phenomenal success with a Jewish book, "Magnolia Street," and passed a new phrase into the language. The catalogue would not be complete without a mention of the remarkable fervour with which the new Lord Melchett has thrown himself into the work of championing the Jewish cause in every field, and his breath-taking enthusiasm for Palestine, matching and perhaps surpassing that of longer standing of his late father, the first Lord Melchett, his sister, Lady Erleigh, and her great father-in-law, Lord Reading.

TEMPERED RUBBER Brings New Toughness and Heat-Resistance to U. S. Tire Treads
HE CHEMISTS in U. S. laboratories recently discovered that by adding an entirely new secret compounding ingredient . . . a tread stock far tougher and more heat-resisting was obtained. The increased toughness of Tempered Rubber is an important extra mileage feature. Tempered Rubber lengthens tire life by providing much greater resistance to the scuffing of the tread against the road. Tempered Rubber actually carries you thousands of miles further with greater safety at no additional cost. The U. S. Royals are now selling at the lowest prices in their history, so why be satisfied with less? Drive in to any Deep Rock Service Station for U. S. Rubber Tires.

ANOTHER MELAMED STORY
Carmel, not the wine, but the Cleveland Zionist, tells-it. Of Drr Melamed, who sometimes, as you know, does a bit of stuttering. So brilliant a man as the doctor must have some defect—or it wouldn't be just—so he chose stuttering. Well, one day a reader of Dr. Melamed's paper was deeply stirred by one of his articles. He liked it immensely. He liked it so much, in fact, that he couldn't sit still. He must go and see Dr. Melamed and thank him for this article. Grabbing his hat, he was soon on his way. Within a block of the editorial sanctum he saw the brilliant doctor reflectively walking. He caught up with Melamed. Did I say that this reader also stuttered? Well, he did, anyway. "Doctor," he began, as soon as he was facing Melamed, "I wa- wa- wawa to- t j t- say- s- that your article was fine." "You g- go- g- g- go to d- ddev-il," returned Melamed, thinking that the stranger was mocking him.
THIS AND THAT Emanuel Hertz, author of the Lincoln book, is a brother to the chief rabbi of England. Dr. Wilberforce Eames of the New York public library, recognized as the leading bibliographical authority of the country, came down very excitedly to the Jewish department of the public library. With a book in his hand—he pointed to two characters in the volume—one -Joshua and the other Bloch, the two making in synthesis, Dr. Joshua Bloch, the chief of the Jewish division. Dr. Eames, by the way, who is not Jewish, recently authored a most interesting disquisition on a one-time effort of the Puritans to change the current calendar for the Jewish calendar. Another little note that ought to make you expand that Jewish chest a few inches is David Lasser, an authority on rocket riding. In a few years from now Jewish papers will have articles about a Jew being first to ride to Mars. All Jews are not so apprehensive about Hitler. There is Dr. Nahum Goldman, for instance, editor of the hew Jewish encyclopedio being published in Germany; He" says maybe it would be a good thing for Hitler to get control, for the best way to get the Hitler bubble to burst would be to give him the reins. Then-HitJerism would fizzle put, says Goldman.

Whether a break is good or bad, the optimist decides it is Tfrorth something. "My soul would be as dark as night, if it were not for the minstrelsy of Hope that sings of light. The psalmist exclaimed because of his optimism: "For Thou dost light my lamp; the Lord, my God shall lighten my darkness." The night should not cause fright Optimism is the hopeful view for Jews in the light of history. For the many who walk in darkness in times that are out of joint, this optimistic disposition is the thread that can alone lead out of the labyrinth in which they find them: selves. A wide-spreading hopeful disposition is the only true umbrella in our vale of tears. Pessimism may be
cured by the insight and far-sight of optimism. Jewish history suggests this. The saddest pessimists were probably those who witnessed the Holy City in ruins. A proud nation was expatriated. A glorious p e o p l e became serfs. How could the songs of Judea ever again be sung? In the vision of prophet and in the counsel of sage were comfort and hope found. Houses were again built and happiness was again sought. With the advent of enlightenment and freedom, an exiled race became an international people. Has the Jew lost his spiritual nostagalia'.' His chosen spirits ever excoriated materialism. He cannot, even as he must not, forget Jerusalem and what it gave the world. This insight civilized him. It imparted immortality.

Dealing with the story of the ten •JVplagues, he said that it could only have been written in Egypt by one who lived in that country and was familiar with local conditions. Thus the plague of hail which so impressed Pharaoh did so because rain and hail were practically unknown in Egypt. In Palestine, on the other hand, torrential rains were usual and hail storms did not cause so much damage as in Egypt. Dr. Yahuda said that Pharaoh's reproach when Moses demanded that the Children of Israel should be allowed to journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to their God assumed a special interest when seen in the light of Egyptian conditions. On a limestone in the British Museum were the entries of an Egyptian labor overseer recording the number of absent workmen and the reasons for their absence. In many cases the excuse was that they wanted to sacrifice to the gods. Thus when Moses came with his request to the Pharaoh the monarch regarded it as the familiar pretext. There was a record. Dr. Yahnda said, of an Egyptian strike, and Pharaoh, when ordering Moses and Aaron not to hinder the people at their work, evidently looked upon them as seeking to organize a strike. The account in the Bible of the 1614 HARNEY STREET honors conferred on Joseph showed an intimate acquaintance, he said, with things Egyptian, some of which had been preserved to this day. Thus the expression, "Abrek," meaning in Egyptian "Attention," recorded in the Bible as used by the runners who preceded Joseph's chariot was still used by drivers in Cairo in Arabic to warn pedestrians. He had been able to identify a great number of expressions and phrases come down from ancient Egyptian into Arabic.

You protest in vain that you've mastered even Dutch and he smiles pityingly. Dutch! So we in the outer darkness will be doomed through the whole of our lives to the hearing of jokes of which we understand everything but the point. We shall have to hear about poetry most of -which, unlike Dante, we cannot even read in a bad translation. We shall have to catch rumors of prose that, even were it translated, we are assured we should not be able "to get" in English at alL We shall have to infer from a Yiddish shrug of the shoulders which is intelligible even to an illiterate what the accompanying words mean if we could understand them. We shall have to hear mildly amusing anecdotes that, in Yiddish, we a r e assured, would convulse t h e hearer with laughter. We shall have to go to the Yiddish Art Theater as we went to the Moscow Art Theater to take it on faith and with the libretto, so to speak, in our hands. It is all very discouraging. One is almost tempted to go and live in Warsaw and Minsk for a while, though this is hardly the moment nor is it certain that one could live there in peace. But surely if one did live there for a while, one could pick up the language. Then how pleasant it would be to come back and show those machers—it is impossible to explain to you who do not know Yiddish what machers means—where they get off. Impossible to learn Yiddish?

movement on the part of the bulk of Russian Jewry; the sympathy of great multitudes of Jews outside the Soviet Union, and the generous financial assistance of American Jews. But while Jewish enthusiasm for colonization has not abated since its inception in 1924-25, the fortunes of the movement have not always been the same during this period. Jewish land settlement in Soviet Russia is too closely woven into the fabric of general Russian life to be able to lead an altogether independent existence. It has been powerfully affected by the bigger Russian experiments of recent years. With them it has undergone many changes of fortune; has met with many ups and downs, and has experienced many crises. The three years since the introduction of the Five Years Plan, especially, have been difficult for Jewish colonization, and the last year was the worst of all, probably the most critical in the history of that movement. There were even some people in and outside Soviet Russia who began to speak of the decline of colonization and of its ultimate disappearance as a leading factor in Jewish life. But so rapid is the flow of social events in Soviet Russia, so abrupt and radical the changes, that one can again speak with assurance of the movement now, and definitely claim that it has turned the corner. One is again fully justified in saying that colonization once more looms highest on the Jewish horizon in Russia, and overshadows practically everything else.
AT 0639
Nineteen thirty-two was the year of Jewish industrialization in Soviet Russia, not of colonization. The Five Years Plan begun in 1929 in the big industrial centers reached just then the small Jewish villages which had never before known a factory, and bellowed forth its great message of industrial development with the stentorian voice of a huge loud speaker and with the cumulative strength of almost three years of success. Jews of all ages, but especially Jewish youth, answered the call and rushed impetuously into the factories, plants, railways, mines and other industrial enterprises.
misfortune which overtook the movement during 1931, owing to the wholesale desertion of the land by the old settlers already established feere for years, and to the dangerous ^trek begun from the colonies back to the cities. The Soviet Press, always very generous with figures and statistics is not very liberal in this particular case. But from the numerous reports in the Moscow Ernes, the Charkpff Shtern and the Minek Oktiaber one gathers that this back-to-the-city movement assumed the proportions of a major calamity for Jewish colonization during the past year. Reports at the last plenary session of the Geserd held in Moscow towards the end of March spoke of some districts in Crimea which had lost as much as 40 per cent of their colonists. The Jewish National Rayon of Kalenindorf in Ukraine alone lost 4,000 old settlers (out of a population of approximately 15,000). Worst of all was the fate of Bira-Bidjan, which would have shown a loss of almost 70 per cent, but fcr the influx of Jewish immigration from abroad. The extent of this disastrous flight from the land is amply illustrated by the recent resolution of the Geserd (the Government Committee for the regulation of the general land settlement in Russia) to withdraw large tracts of land in the Crimea previously held for Jewish colonization. With the old Crimean and Ukrainian Jewish colonies so depleted the authorities evidently consider that it is hopeless to expect that Jews will be able to use new land in the near future. That industrialization wa» largely responsible for this failure is now conceded by the Soviet Press. What is not openly admitted in Russia, but is, nevertheless true, is that the depletion of the colonies was partly caused also by the system of sweeping collectivisation, which was introduced into the Jewish farms more severely than in all others. Experience with Jewish land settlers has shown, that, as a rule, they are not less individualistic than the Russian peasants. They do not object (as the early records of the American AgroJoint in Russia amply illustrate) to the collective use of farm machinery, but they resent no less than others the collectivisation of the products of their work. There is also good reason to believe that the greater social control, the mechanization and industrialization of the collectivised farm is less to the Jewish taste than to that of other people. The Jewish colonist still has something of the romantic attitude of the nature lover toward the land which the older peasants no longer possess; the Jew, also, more than others, seeks independence on his farm apart from economic security t _ And:yet, so zealous were the Jewish Communists of the Geserd in the introduction of collectivisation that all the Jewish colonies were collectivised fully 100 per cent during 1931, an achievement unrivalled by

The Moscow Efmes cites the following official figures' of the arrival of new settlers on April- 1st: Ukra&ie, 1,439* families; Crimea, 700 families; BiroBid jan, 453 families, and 1,200 individuals—a total in three months larger than that of any full year since 1926, and three times as big as that of the whole of last year.

So great was the debacle that it became necessary for the Soviet Government to step in and take action calculated to arrest the avalanche and to restore the shattered position. Toward the end of January the "Com•zet" (Government Committee for Jewish Land Settlement) was completely reorganized. The old administration, consisting of A. Herezhin, M. Tshemerinski and M. Goldo—the three oldest and leading Jewish Communists in Russia — were removed from leadership. Mr. Boris Trotzki, a Communist agronomist, who had hitherto nothing to do with Jewish affairs, was appointed in Mr. Merezhin's place as chairman of the "Comzet." A new plan of action was worked out, an almost revolutionary programme announced, and with a changed spirit, of which the changed leadership was only an external manifestation, the Jewish colonization movement in Soviet Russia embarked upon a new era of its development.
And the year is young yet, and the figures are rising from day to day. Daily the Soviet Jewish Press reports the arrival of fresh contingents of settlers in every one of the three areas of Jewish transmigration. Daily the total is mounting as the tide of Colonization is gathering force. The former, long, dismal descriptions of the return of the old settlers have vanished from the Soviet newspapers. Their place is taken by short, snappy, telegraphic reports of new arrivals and of quotas filled 100 per cent and more. One gathers from these reports that there has never been such activity on the Jewish Land Funds; never such a movement from the
The first act of Mr. Trotzki was to scrap this plan and to present a new one in its place. Several months ago this new plan could have been called nothing but fantastic. It was so completely at variance with Jewish conditions as they were known to be. It provided for the settlement of 4,725 families in Ukraine; 800 families in Crimea; 14,000 individuals in BiroBidjan. Never before, not even in the heyday of Jewish Colonization in 1926, had such an ambitious plan been presented. The average number of Jewish settlers per year had never exceeded 2,000 families in the last five years. Last year, as we have already seen, the number fell to less than one-third of this amount, and yet the new administration approached its task with a proposed increase of almost 400 per cent above the average and over 1,000 per cent above last year. Even in Soviet Russia, •where they are used to grand gestures in planning and to high soaring of hopes, this seemed to be the exaggerated miscalculation of men strange to their task and unacquainted with Jewish affairs. But this time, strangers seem to have calculated better than old heads. B. Trotzki, who had never done any social work among Jews in Russia, appraised the situation better than Merezhin, who was with the Jewish Colonization movement from its very inception. Figures for the first three months of the new year show that already almost the entire quota of Crimea has been filled. Ukraine has
Best Wishes to Our Friends and Patrons
The official statistics of the Geserd (Society for Jewish Land Settlement in Soviet Russia), published in the Moscow Ernes of March 25th, show that the number of Jewish wage earners in the USSR, on April of last year was 787,000. Almost half that number—about 350,000 — were then engaged in factories and in industrial enterprises. Mr. S. Dimandstein, Cimmossar for Jewish Affairs in Soviet Russia, in his annual review of the Jewish situation on November 7, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Revolution (published in the Moscow Emes of the same date), speaks of an increase of 200,000 Jewish workers for 1931 alone. "We can state with certainty," he says, "that by 'Hie end of the year 1931 we shall nave not less than half a million Jewish workers in the country." It is only when this figure is compared with the figure of 153,000 Jewish factory workers in Russia before the Revolution, and even with the 203,000 of 1926 that the huge advance is realized. But.the very hugeness of this suc^ cess .of industrialization caused a corresponding decline in Jewish land settlement. One of the principal sources of strength of Jewish colonization is that it is not an artificial movement emanating from sentiment and fostered by theory. It flows from the vital, everyday needs of the people. Jews had taken, to the land in Russia because all their other sources of livelihood had been destroyed by the Revolution, and land settlement was the only means of escape from starvation. Towards the end of 1930 and in 1931 the Five Years Plan provided one more outlet, an easier and more .accessible one t h a n ' t h e land, and this quite naturally turned the stream of Jewish poverty partly in the new direction, with the result that the forward march of Jewish, coloni; zation was arrested. - \ i ) ., The programme of the "Geserd for 1931 ^in all three Jewish colonization; [districts—in Ukraine, Crimea, and Biro-Bidjan—was for the settlement of 3,500 new Jewish families, or 12,000 squls. Not more than 20 per" cent of the expected quota settled in Ukraine, less than 30 per cent in BiroBidjan, and 50 per cent in Crimea—a failure very rare in the history of the Jewish. colonization in.

Jewish villages to the colonies; never such a rush of Jewjsh declassed to the land. lt"4s clteai- that there is a new spirit in the land and among Soviet Jews; with regard to Colonization; a'revival of the movement on a grand scale; a change in its fortune which is possible only in such lands of social flux as Soviet Russia. Already 1932 bids well to become the peak year of Jewish Colonization even as the past year was the year of its worst failure. It would be very strange indeed if all this were due only to a change of leadership in the "Comzet." Great mass movements like Jewish Colonization do not undergo miraculous changes such as these only because a new chairman has been appointed to an organisation which never more than reflected its activity. There were other, much stronger and less personal, forces fermenting- in the depth of Soviet life which were responsible for the change. In fact, even before the resignation of Mr. Merezhin, signs were accumulating (Continued on Page 6-E.)

Forgetting Your Worries
FELICITA7TONSJ
Jewish family life has been a monument of strength in Israel's survival, and the high standard of home life among our people has helped soothe the pain of adversity through the ages. Since marriage is the basic pillar in the family structure, we are proud of the sanctity still attendant to Jewish matrimony.
We therefore welcome the increasing nuptial ties and congratulate these additions during the year 5692 to the Press's ever-growing list of marriages:
OF A REBUILT SOVIET JEWRY (Continued from Page 4 that Colonization was heading for improvement. The removal of Mr. Merezhin was, perhaps, nothing more than a mere sop to the displeased Communist critics who were demanding a scapegoat and a visible sign of change. The new administration was, at best, an infusion of new blood which could only stimulate but not j transform, the movement. The real I causes lie much deeper. To begin with Russian Industralization has reached the peak of its upward rush, and is beginning to slow down perceptibly. 1931 will doubtless go down to history as the highwater mark of the first Soviet Five Years Plan, but already towards the end of the year signs of saturation began to appear, and there is hardly any doubt now that in the near future Russian industry -will not rush forward with the same impetuosity as in the previous three years. For the time being, at least, the newly-built Russian factories and plants have had their first hunger appeased, and they will not be able to absorb as many new workers as they did. The call of the factory is thus no longer so urgent, and the lure of the industry no lonjrer so powerful to people in Russia, gvntile as well as Jews.

Former Jewish Labor Minister to Oppose Premier MacDonald London—Emanuel Shinwell, Jewish Laborite, who served in the last Labor government, and a personal friend of Prime Minister MacDonald, -will seek election to Parliament as the representative of the Seaham constituency, opposing Premier MacDonald. Mr. Shinwell will represent the Labor Party in this district at the next general election. In making known his candidacy, Mr. Shinwell stated that "only the highest sense of loyalty to the Labor movement has induced me to oppose Premier MacDonald. I was for many years among Prime Minister MacDonald's devoted followers. Now I oppose him because I am taking my stand upon the principles which he has always enunciated."

Another uncontroversial fact known to every observer of life in Soviet Russia is that the Government is now slowly, but definitely, retreating from its previous advanced position with regard to land Collectivisation.

View of the Trend in Jewish Social Work (Continued from Page 9C)
delphia conference, Dr. I. M. Kubinow and Dr. Jacob Billikopf, talking on the "Economic and Industrial Status '., of the Jew in America," pointed out that there were, apparently, differences in the way economic dislocations affect Jew and Gentile, but little or no accurate information is available on this subject, there seem to be insurmountable difficulties to establishing any program which would apply particularly to the Jewish as distinct from the general group. It is certain that the Jewish problem is an integral part of the general situation, and that as long as that situation continues as unbalanced as it has during these past few years, the Jewish problem will not yield to treatment. Surely, discrimination, traditional occupational habits and restrictions in certain trades and professions still influence the economic adjustment of the Jew, but these problems are incidental, and .even in some, degree, corollary to the disorders from which all of the United States is suffering.
faced before, notably in the ravaged communities of Eastern Europe during and following the Great War. Survival values in cultural activities determined the answer for the administrators of, the Europaen relief funds, and that is the plea on which these movements continue to demand and to receive support today. Non-sectarian cultural and recreational movements are experiencing similar difficulties in maintaining their work in the face of community attitudes, the distinction in the Jewish group being that it is time the yielding to expediency seems to be symptomatic of a questioning attitude toward the inherent value of group survival efforts. This attitude is more evident1: with regard to Jewish education than to Jewish center activities, largely because the latter are looked upon as a precentive agencies. • On this point, the meeting of Jewish Federation Executives in Cleveland last year went on record to the effect that" "organized effort to maintain community .programs concerned with Jewish education, recreation and culture are considered as essential phases of Jewish social It is important that, durwork ing the ttime of distress, these elements, of_the Jewish, social work program in the United States ba safeguarded." The Philadelphia Conference urged "the desirability of maintaining balanced budgets for both relief- and other services." One other aspect of Jewish social work is, the support of relief and reconstruction activities for Jewish peopje in Europe and Palestine. The cur-rent year has seen a drop of 66 2-3'per "cent in expenditures for this purpose, though the contributions in the previous year were themselves substantially below the average for the"pfevious fifteen years.
Jewish social work, which originally prided itself upon financing its activities exclusively from Jewish sources, cannot boast that distinction today. In the decade followingthe war, the Jewish Federations' in all but a dozen of the larger cities became affiliated with non-sectarian Community Chests. In the non-federated communities, there was similar amalgamation of specialized Jewish agencies with Community Chests, whether those agencies -were for relief, purposes, for recreational work or even in some instances for, chilci welfare and care of the aegd, hast fall the Jewish Federations in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia joined their financial appeals with the Community Chests in their cities on an emer.gency basis and these two cities are HOPEFUL SIGNS this year again planning to raise Are there any hopeful signs in 'i their funds for Jewish work through this picture, signs that these probnon-sectarian appeals.

Though no effort was ciple, a. quid pro quo, a return for made to reach conclusions, it seemed Jewish contributions, either voluntary to be the consensus of the meetings or tax.

Fundamentally, can sectarian work: control its own destinies unless lit deals directly with its own constituency ? Jewish social workers prefer not to be called sectarian, but they are dealing with a restricted group, differentiated on either-a racial, or a religious, or some other basis, and as such, Jewish work finds its ^motivations undergoing intense cross"examination, both from within and from without.
the: educational and recreational fields, though these latter were called upon to redefine their objectives in the light of changing conditions. At the Philadelphia Conference, leaders of the cultural movements were almost unanimous in their insistence that Jewish leaders should concentrate their efforts on turning over to public agencies the support of philanthropic work, thus presumably releasing energy for substantial programs for the education" of the youth along Jewish lines. One speaker after another stressed the neeil for inculcating a broader interest in Jewish life into the Jewish group, veering from the emphasis of previous Conferences on the more philanthropic" phases of. social service. The will to live, as Jews, they insisted, was intense and real, and Jews would not permit themselves to be submerged, as a cultural entity, for lack of financial support. The discussion of the plan advanced by Horace Stern of Philadelphia last spring, for the building up of community life along congregational lines, with intense participation of congregational membership in all Jewish affairs, evoked unusual interest and discussion. It mattei-s little whether the rabbis, the social workers, the prominent lay leaders agreed or differed with Judge Stern's plan. They are concerned, they have opinions, they want action. Almost invariably, the communities- which conducted independent Jewish campaigns last year, whether for : Federations or for Welfare Funds, reported that, though their incomes were reduced, there had been increases in the number of contributors, stirred either by the greater intensity of the relief appeal or as a reaction to the dangers threatening "Jewish" work. In a number of communities, particularly those in which Jewish philanthropic work is being financed by non-Sectarian Community Chests, Jewish Community Councils are in various stages of organization, some under orthodox auspices, some with diversified moral support, their goal being announced as the consolidation and centralization of Jewish communal effort, both philanthropic and cultural.
NO CENTERS.CLOSE The Jewish Welfare Board reports that no Jewish Centers have been closed because 1 of the depression, though budgets have been reduced, activiites curtailed and staffs sacrificed. Stringent economies have been enforced in all kinds of Jewish social agencies, with amalgamations and mergers of established organiza-^ tions and greater co-ordination of work. Financial stringency, if it is
In the second place, the Jewish social agencies -which are suffering most intensely in the depression are /'.those which are doing work of a dis^t'inctively Jewish character, namely, the Jewish education systems and the Jewish Community Centers, the socalled cultural and recreational movements. Jewish educators and th< Jewish Centers direct their efforts to groups through mass activities, rather than to individual persons. Their professed objectives tend to preserve, enrich and transmit the cultural Jewish heritage. These are beyond doubt a direct charge upon the Jewish community. Leaving aside the question whether a gymnasium in a Jewish Center, or a political discussion under similar auspices, is Jewish simply because o: the Jewish auspices, there is considerable doubt as to the extent to which their programs have actually reached, and influenced the large Jewish masses. That doubt is crystallizing today in the budgetary reductions being made for these organizations, these reductions being justified, not only because of the pres sure of elemental relief needs foi limited funds, but because every soc ial service dollar is being scrutinizet I and is expected to show a tangible i return. The congregational Hebrew schools, the independent Talmud Torahs and Community Centers havi i lost heavily in membership fees.anc I contributions for national reasons because of shrinkage in the incom* of their friends. The organization in these fields which are affiliate< v/ith Federations have taken budge cuts of much greater severity thai the other functional categories. Cut of 20 to 40 per cent have becom' general, in the effort to conserv communal resources for relief.

Find Mosaics of Ancient Synagogue by Excavation Jeruusalem (J. T. A.).—About three years ago a number of Jewish workmen digging an irrigation canal at Beth-Alpha; the large communal settlement at the foot of Mount Gilboa, in the valley of Esdraelon, came across a narrow strip of multi-colored mosaic pavement showing Zodiacal signs and Hebrew inscriptions. The Hebrew university press is publishing soon the results of the subsequent excavations conducted by Dr. E. L. Sukenik, archaeologist to the university. The volume is written by Dr. Sukenik, and is named "The Ancient Synagogue at Beth Alpha." The synagogue dates back to the sixth century C. E. and is the first to be found with such perfect mosaic pavements. They had been excellently preserved under the debris of fourteen hundred years. Fragments of colored mosaic pavements had previously been found in other places in Palestine. Near Jericho, for example, one such HOOT was found, but it was riot intact and the designs were mutilated. The Esdraelon colonies, however, were the first to be unearthed in a whole condition, unspoiled by the ravages of nature or the conflicts of man, especially those that occurred in that stormy period marking the end of the Byzantine period and the inception of the Arab conquest of Palestine. Work of Art The principal designs are in the central hall of the synagogue. This area is divided into three sections, which show in brilliant and beautiful hues a group of synagogue utensils, the Zodiacal signs, and the sacrifice of Isaac. A series of reproductions of human beings, animals, trees, flowers and carpets are contained in the framework around these sections and other parts of the pavement. The great importance of the finds is enhanced by two inscriptions, one in Greek and the other in Aramic. telling of the skilled craftsmen who laid the mosaics and the period in which they were made. The discovery of this first dated synagogue sheds light not only upon the existence of Beth Alpha, but also upon

Leaders of the Jewish Federations of the country, meeting in May, decided that their many common problems required a National Council of Jewish Welfare Federations, for the purpose of intimately exchanging experiences and together, on behalf of Jewish social work in ;heir communities, trying to think through to conclusions on some of the broader implications of their work. Such a Council is now being organized and should prove of effecive aid in guiding the safeguarding of the fundamentals of Jewish communal life in America. From this evidence, gleaned from year full of tnrcnoil and confusion, a year in which old and firmly established traditions seem to have been uprooted, a year which challenged the most fundamental bases of Jewish communal life, it is still possible to hazard some guesses for the future. Will the philanthropic aspects of Jewish social work become supplementary or complementary to brcadr programs of social legislation, of economic upbuilding, of public welfare department developments of non-sectarian philanthropic activities? It would appear so, although the degree to which these necessary forces will shape the ultimate goals is still to be determined. Will Jewish social work shift its emphasis, if. and when the depression lifts, from philanthropies to emhasis on the survival of Jews as a cultural entity? Probably yes, although the answer to this question depends on the leadership capacity and the interest and the skill of the Jewish social workers, both professional and non-professional, and on their ability to keap pace with the changing world. Will Jewish social work survive? Only ttime can tell. [Copyright, 1932, by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

Pioneer Women ' The Pioneer Women's organization of Sioux City, one of 70 groups throughout the United States, successfully completed a number of projects during the last year. The most important of these was the "Dollar Campaign" conducted by the dub. Other affairs of the Pioneer Women included a raffle and various money-raising events. The club's purpose is to assist the Chalutzos of Palestine, and in this endeavor the women work together with the members of the Poale Zion organization, the Gevershaften oCmmittee and the Jewish National Fund. Plans for this year's program include active co-operation with these other groups. Mrs. M. Leaff is the financial secretary of the group; Mrs. N. Widesky, recording secretary, and Mrs. M. A. Levich, treasurer.

Several speakers of national fame were brought to Sioux City by this group, as well as several well known musicians and artists. Despite the additional work andl more concentrated efforts needed by the members to continue giving their assistance to the declassed Jews in Kussia, the Workmen's Circle succeeded in keeping up their high quotas during the last year. .

Hundreds of transients were interviewed daring the year, " of whom more than -half applied during the summer months. Since the transient has always been a constant source of worry to social agencies throughout the country, particularly because little in the way of constructive work can be done for persons who seldom remain in one place long enough to establish residence. Attempts on the part of the social worker to verify residence have often failed because the transient has given fictitious names and addresses. The problem has become especially serious during the last year due to the increased need for local relief and the lack of sufficient funds to meet these needs. Mrs. Harry A. Wolf is chairman of the Family Welfare committee, which includes Irvin Stalmaster, vicechairman; Harry Silverman, Sam Ravitz, Miss Blanche Zimman and Mesdames J. J. Greenberg, E. Kulakofsky, L.

Jewish Women's Welfare Organizatic
The Jewish Women's Welfare Organization became formally affiliated with the Jewish Community Center and Welfare Federation last November. For the past 30 years the Jewish Women's Welfare Organization has been active in communal work, and its affiliation with the Federation fits in well with the concentration of our endeavors. The Jewish Women's Welfare Organization has always been an important factor in many phases of Jewish social work in Omaha. With its present affiliation, the group has enlarged its functions and is participating more than ever in the work of the Federation, its program contemplating family relief, child care, social service, Center activities and aid to the Philanthropies. Officers who served this term are: Mrs. L. Neveleff, president; Mrs. J. M. Malash'ock, vice-president; Mrs. SOCIAL SERVICE Irvin Stalmaster, recording secretary; COMMITTEE Mrs. H. A.

during these times of economic distress. , Many families who cannot reconcile themselves to take charity but who were the victims of unexpected reverses, have been able to work out their economic rehabilitation through a temporary loan of $100 or $200 from the Jewish Free Loan Society. Loans are made to any Omaha Jewish family of good character, self-, respect and good standing in the community, upon notes endorsed by business men. Harry A. Wolf is chairman of the Free Loan Society. Other members of the committee in charge include J. H. Kulakofsky, William Grodinsky, David Feder and Leo Abramson. The loans are made from a permanent revolving fund. It originally started with a capital of $1,000, representing a $100 gift by each of ten communally-minded m e n . Liberal contributions by public spirited men and women who recognized the great value of the Jewish Free Loan have steadily increased the working capital, until the total is now $27,924.75. Since its inception, the free loan has made 1,460 loans, amounting to $70^26.62. From January through August of this year, 57 loans were made, amounting to $8,829.75. The committee is grateful for the following contributions, since January 1, 1932: Omaha National Bank, in memory of Harry Lapidus, $10; Joe Morgan, in memory of his son, Benjamin C. Morgan, SI00; I. M. Wintroub, $5; Rebecca Kaiman, executor of the estate of Fannie Shapiro, $5. The committee appeals to the Jewish community to make contributions to the fund, either in memory of a departed loved one or in honor of dear ones who are living. The need today is greater than ever before. Many families who only a short time ago were contributors to this fund are now in need of temporary relief through this very fund. They will not accept charity, but only an op-

tional committee of which Mrs. J. H. Kulakofsky is chairman, and the social service committee, headed by Mrs. Herbert Arnstein. . The scholarship committee, as an important unit of Mrs. Kulakofsky'e committee, has been busy jjuring the summer considering' applicants for loans from the scholarship fund to enable them to continue their studies. As a direct result of this activity, three Jewish girls will enroll at the Municipal University this falL Funds for the scholarship are derived primarily from 42ie current topic course, the Council library and through private contributions. Another project of this committee will be the continuation of the current topics course led by Rabbi David A. Goldstein of the Conservative Synagogue. To begin in November, the series will be held at the Community Center. A new project planned, if there is sufficient demand, is the organization of a group to study the problem of the pre-school child. Aid for the blind and the deaf and hard of hearing is included in the plans made by Mrs. Arnstein's committee. New impetus will be given work with the blind through the purchase of a Braille transcription machine by the Council. Already qualified to teach this course, Mrs. Reuben Natelson, who has secured a certificate from the American Red Cross, will be assisted by Mrs. Philip Levey and Mrs. Joseph Bonoff. The committee has worked with school health authorities, seeking: to introduce audiometers into the public schools to test the hearing of school children, and under the leadership of Mrs. Harry Z. Rosenfeld, these workers are trying to interest theater managers in placing equipment in theaters so as to bring the entertainment world within the realm of those afflicted by deafness. Formerly this committee has cooperated with the Douglas County Medical Association commission in gathering serum from infantile paralysis victims, but with the successful completion of this task this spring, further efforts along this line are unnecessary. Mrs. J. S. Pearlstein heads this activity. . A letter of commendation from Dr. Floyd S. Clarke, head of the commission of the Douglas County Medical Association, attests to the splendid record made by the Council "workers.
B
Continuing as a single group under the leadership of Mrs. Robert Glazer, the legislative and civics, program promises much of interest during the year. Both local and national problems will be discussed, and as a new feature of each meeting there will be a "social hour." The program of national legislation will be furnished the Omaha section by National Council headquarters. The new program chairman, Mrs. Herman Jahr, will provide some interesting feature for each general meeting, centering her plans about well-known speakers who will choose topics that will reflect the trend of Council interests. For the opening meeting, October 31, Mrs. Jahr plans a tea, to be held at the Community Center. Efficient and effective work has been done by Mrs. William Holzman as chairman of the service for foreign-born, and she assumes this same post for the coming year. The Council p l a n s to continue its work of Americanization in co-operation with the Board of Education, a n d Mrs, Sam Beber, chairman of the committee for education of the foreign-born, will have charge of this. Efforts of the Council in behalf of the Community Chest and the Jewish Philanthropies will be under the direction of Mrs. Reuben Kulakofsky, who has proved so able a leader in other fields of Council activity in the past.

Hadassah "With the entire world seemingly crushing the Jew, the tiny spark of hope that shines in the Near East assumes ever greater brilliance. Palestine has become the center of Jewish thought and energy, the heart of the Jewish people. In the upbuilding of the Jewish Homeland there, Hadassah, women's Zionist organization, has assumed much responsibility, and is aiding greatly into transforming a dreamer's phantasy into a reality. The Omaha chapter of Hadassah has been progressing year by year, the one just past 'being its most successful one. The season ended with the first: Give or Get Luncheon on June 18, when 110 women who earned or donated $10 or more were the guests of the organization. Interesting programs and noted speakers featured the monthly meetings. Mrs. M. F. Levenson is president of the local chapter. Other officers are Mrs. J. J. Friedman, first vicepresident; Mrs. Julius Abrahamson, second vice-president; Mrs. J. M. Erman and Mrs. David Stein, financial secretaries; Mrs. Hyman Cohn, recording secretary; Mrs. A. Romm, treasurer. Board members include Mesdames B. A. Simon, Max Fromkin, J. Lintzman, S. Pizer, and M. Brandeis. Honorary members of the board are Mrs. Sidney Katleman, president Junior Hadassah; Mrs. J. H. Kula-
Omaha Hebrew Club In its fortieth year of existence, the Omaha Hebrew Club which boasts a membership of 550, has continued ' its benefactory work during 5692.

Visits are also paid to brother members who are ill, and night watch arranged for seriously ill brothers and deceased brothers. As usual, large attendances marked the regular meetings during the year. A prominent speaker was featured at most of these meetings. Daring the year the Hebrew club

United Palestine Council As a culmination of years of effort on the part of local Zionist leaders, the United Palestine Council of Omaha was formed last winter—uniting the forces of local Zionist groups^ The Zionist District,, Senior Hadassah, Junior Hadassah, Pioneer Women, Mizrachi, National Workers Alliance, Poaie Zion, National Fund Council and the Greater Palestine Committee are constituent members. Each group has three representatives. The Council is the final authority on all Zionist activities of the constituent groups. Where the co-operation of the groups in Omaha is desired for any local project, approval of the project by the Council must first be obtained. The Council will also avoid conflicts in Zionist dates. The purpose of the Council is "the enrollment of all organizations doing Palestinian or Zionist work in Omaha into a Council which has for its program the development of a healthy interest in Palestinian enterprises, the harmonization and integration of all Palestine efforts, and the stimulation of greater activity toward the end that the ideal of Zion rebuilt may be more speedily realized." M. F. Levenson is president; Mrs. H. Eichlin, first vice-president; Morris Minkin, second vice-pi-esident; Morris Friedel, secretary; Mrs. Julius Stein, treasurer. The executive board consists of the officers and I. Morgenstern, Philip Klutznick, and Mrs. Morris Franklin. » * *

A Little of Everything BY DAVID SCHWARTZ ARTIST FLEES Here's a story about Supreme Court Justice Cardozo, which comes by way of Dr. Cyrus Adler: Some Jewish, artist about a year ago sought to paint a portrait /of Judge Cardozo. .To that end he visited Albany and entered the chambers of the jurist. He saw a little man walking about the chambers. The painter asked the little man if the secretary to Judge Cardoso was in. "No," replied the little man, "but maybe I could help you." "No," grunted the painter, "you couldn't help. me. I must see the secretary. When will he be in?" "Well, I don't know," replied the little man placidly, "maybe in half aa. hour—maybe longer." "Oh, the devil," said the painter. "I am in a great hurry. Just my luck, darn it." "Will you tell me," asked the little man, "what you want of the secretary?" "Oh, there is no use telling you," said the temperamental and by now irate artist, "but, well—I want the secretary to see the judge in the hope of getting an appointment with the

Dr. Adler thereupon wrote to Judge Cardozcf and explained the situation. Judge Cardozo wrote back that he had not at all been offended—just a little amused, and would the painter come back to see him?
SLOW MOTION
Testament, let it be said that there is a reference in the New Testament to the shepherds talking of the coming of Christ as they watched their flocks on the eve of Christ's birth. Now to the story. The chaplain of the English armies naturally made the most of the entry of the British to Jerusalem on Christmas eve. Assembling the troops, he recounted the various armies that have taken Jerusalem during the course of history, from the Romans down. "And now," said the chaplain, beaming in conclusion, "how fitting that we British should enter Jerusalem on the eve of Christmas." Among the troops was a southerner from the United States, who had joined the British legion. "Well," he drawled out, "I reckon the shepherds will surely have to watch their flocks tonight."
Is Palestine the Promised Land? So the Bible calls it, but if you may believe Lord Snell, it is rather "the too much Promised Land." It was promised by Britain to the Jews, and it appears that John Bull also did some promising of the land to the Arabs. But Snell is optimistic nevertheless. What the Jews need now, says his lordship, is patience. Eemember that even Moses didn't enter the Promised Land, and that the Jews had to linger forty years in the Wilderness. A YOM KIPPUR STORY I gather from his lordship that he I don't know whether I've told this
this morning." "Aha," thought Maguire, "there must be some bargains in the syna-: gogue for sale that morning, but Jacobs would put nothing over on him." So Maguire himself proceeded to the synagogue. Arriving there, he soon espied Jacobs and quietly took a seat several pews behind Jacob, watching every step of his Jewish rival. Soon they began to sell "aliyahs." "Twenty dollars," sang out the shamesh for "Shlishi." "Thirty dollars," yelled out Maguire. Jacobs of course was not to be bested, and he cried out, "Fifty." Whereupon Maguire called out, "Seventyfive." Jacobs turned around and, taking a look at the fierce countenance of Maguire, who seemed determined that he would get the "aliyah" at any price, desisted from further bidding. After the services a crowd gathered around the Irishman. "Why did you buy the "Aliyah?" he was asked. "I don't know," he replied, "but if The happy smiles of these charming Palestinian girls betoken their it's worth $50 to Jacobs, it's worth enthusiasm for the festival in which they participated.

"but if you marry now, you will still have the chance of marrying again, like Lord Reading." "No," said the bachelor. "Ever hear the story of the man who went to the other world. 'You must go to Purgatory,' St. Peter told him. 'But1 Saint,' said the man, 'I was married. " 'Oh, if that's the case you needn't go to Purgatory—you have already been there—you can go into heaven right away.' "'Thanks, Saint,' said the man. Tfes, I was married—in fact, I was married twice.' "'What!' exclaimed Peter, 'married twice, eh! You can't go to heaven then; we won't stand for any fools in heaven.'"
ALL THE ADVANTAGES Speaking of the matrimonial joke, have you ever heard the Yiddish one about Jake, who first saw his friend Sam's wife some six months after Sam's marriage? He was invited to Sam's house. "Jake," asked Sam, "how do you like my wife?" Jake waited until Sam's wife was some feet away, and then he started whispering into Sam's ear: "You know, Sam, I hope you wont be offended, but why you married her I cannot understand. She is crosseyed, and she limps, and " "Stop whispering in my ear. You can talk loud. She's deaf, too," said Sam. Ignorance never settles a question. —Disraeli.

SPECIALIZING SIN
CONGRATULATIONS/
This subject of sin is intriguing. Sin has its fashions like everything else. In Puritan New England it was a sin to kiss your wife in public. Today a man who kisses his wife anywhere is generally held up for emulation. I don't know of course personally. I only judge from what I read in the newspapers. Nor do we f<*el so conscious of the responsibilities of sin today. There has been an increasing movement in this age of socialization for the socialization of sin. If you happen by .mistake to steal a five-dollar bill you are not blamed. The Socialist and radical thinker comes along and soothes you. He tells you that if the social system were such as to give every man a Rolls Royce, a yacht, a palace on the Riviera and a million dollars in the bank, the chances are you wouldn't steal the $5 bill. And there is much to what he says. It's been socialized also by psychology. A friend of mine found himself constantly saying the meanest things to the maid. In the old days, it would have been called a sin. But a psychologist examined him and discovered that in his infancy there had been a terrible thunderstorm as his maid came into the room, and the noise had conditioned in him an antimaid complex.
summation of life. Twice a week he fasted, he gave what little he had to the poor—he sat up all night over his Talmud. The son recognized his piety and spirituality, but he got a little fed up with his father's rebukes. "Listen, popper," he said one day, "don't you worry about my going to Gehennem. The truth is neither you nor I will go to Gehennem. You won't go because you are a tsaddik, and I won't go because there is none."

It was to be seen from their speeches that the Palestinian eJwry, one of the best organized in the world though small in point of numbers, thoroughly understands the duties of a Jewish World Congress and is prepared to aid in its success. We should not, however, forget that they have their own national problems to cope with, so that we should not expect too much of practical accomplishment from them.

Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum in his splendid address on Hitlerism—an address most appropriately delivered by an American—made a deep impression on his audience. So did others o fthe American participants in the Conference. Yet all this is no guarantee that the World Congress is to come into being if the entire world is to depend exclusively on one part of American Jewry. The Bnai B'rith, the Y. M. H. A., the organized Jewish labor movement as well as all other organized Jewish groups will have to lend us their assistance if we want to assure ourselves of the success of our efforts. We are well aware that the American. Jewish Congress has initiated this movement, but there is danger that without the co-operation of the entire American Jewry this enterprise will not be carried to a consummation. The World Jewish Congress should become a subject of earnest consideration to the entire American Jewry, which would redound to its own gain first of all and ahead of all other labors. A historic responsibility has been placed on American Jewry, and each seriously-minded Jew, regardless of group or party affiliations, needs to realize the earnestness of this responsibility, if he but recognizes the fact that the Jews are a nation.

The others left the region owing to the unfriendliness of the local administration and the lack of food, the "Emess," Yiddish Communist daily here, reports. The paper demands measures be taken to cope with these developments. Simultaneously it became known that the Comzet, governmental department for settling Jews on the land and in industry, has received a telegraphic communication from Bira Bidjan stating that 764 new Jewish settlers, including 11 from abroad, arrived, during the month of August, in Bira Bidjan, where an autonomous Jewish region is to be established. The situation in the Far Eastern region, says this communication, remains unsatisfactory as far as food and shelter are concerned, and the approaching rainy season make the prospectives even more difficult.

acrificing for Love of One's Adopted A Marvelous r of Jewish )•• IJ&eioptnent of America By JOSEPH SHALOM SHUBOW j Throughout the length and breadth of America the bicentennial- of 'Washington's birthday has been celebrated this year. Two hundred yiars have rolled by since the birth of the man "first in war,- first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." It is fitting and. proper that we now examine, even though in the barest outline, the record of Jewish achievements on 'American soil. • But before we analyze and describe some of the salient features in American Jewish patriotism beginning actually with the Revolution of 1776 we may rehearse a few facts connected with the earlier history of this land. For example, it is not common knowledge that the very expedition of Columbus was made possible by Marranos. In our schoo' histories we are told of the romantic, heroic.and self-sacrificing Queen Isa" tella who readily pawned her jewels in order to raise the necessary funds for the daring expedition by the Genoese navigator. But this pretty •story has been proven to be a fairy tale. The men who did assist the valient explorer were Luis de San•tangel. Chancellor of Aragon, Gab;riel Sanchez, the royal treasurer, and Juan Cabrero the royal chamberlain, all Jews who were forced into the Christian fold. The money was provided out of private Jewish means. About 1700 ducats ($160,000) was thus made available. This is the finding of the authoritative historian Professor Herbert B. Adams who formulated a clever catch-phrase: "Not jewels, but Jews, were the real financial basis of the first expedition of Columbus." And it is significant that Columbus :set,sail on August 3, 1492, the day after the
evil decree of the Spanish monarch* pronounced the infamous expulsion of 300,000 Jews from their domains. • The astronomical charts and instruments that guided the. intrepid navigator were the work of the Jew Abraham Zacuto, professor at 'Salamanca. The eminent historian Dr. Moses Kayserling of Budapest in a monumental work on Christopher Columbus and Jewish participation discovers many -.ther valuable facts. He shows that Jewish help contributed in every way to the daring venture. Also in the expedition proper there were five Jews, three of whom were very important: Luis de Torres, the interpreter who was the first to step on American soil; Bernal, the ship's doctor, and Marco the ship's surgeon. Even the one who first sighted land was supposed to have been another Jew, Rodiigo de Triana. His first report of the jnurney was made to Luis de Santangel. It is noteworthy that even Columbus himself has been considered by several very responsible historians as having been a Jew or of Jewish blood. The most distinguished supporter of this view is Don Celso Garcia de la Riega, a Spanish Churchman who has given this field considerable investigation, basing his views on the fact that the Colon and Fonterossa families, the explorer's parental progenitors were known as Jewish. These few statements suffice to indicate how intimately Jews are associated with American history just as the curtain of mystery hiding a great continent was being raised. And not only as financial supporters but as bold adventurers do the Jews appear on the early scene of the New World.

INFLUENCE OF OLD TESTAMENT We might next indicate the powerful influence exerted by Jewish teachings, specifically, the Old Testament on the early development of colonial life. It was the eminent historian Lecky who summed it all up in an immortal phrase: "Hebraic mortar cemented the foundations ofi American democracy." It is hard to realize what a powerful and abiding factor the Hebrew element constituted in the life and letters of the Puritans. They spoke of themselves j as Israelites; unlike many "modern": Jewish parents they gave their chil- ; dren biblical names; their sons were j Moses, Joshua, Gideon, David," Samuel; their daughters were Rachel, Leah, Sarah, Rebecca and "Anna Hutchinson was a wretched Jezebel." England was for them the land of bondage; James I was the hardhearted Pharoah; the Atlantic was the Red Sea and America the Prom ised Land. In a generation when there were irtually no papers, the preachers were the sole means of public discussion of political as well as religious problems. In fact from 1643 to 1684 New England actually lived as a Theocracy. And the ministers in their sermons intepreted events and guided life, and their chief source of inspiration was the Old Testament, particularly the virile and vigorous stories of Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings. The late Oscar S. Straus wrote correctly when he said: "The Bible was to them not only their guide in religion, but their text-book in politics," in his valuable and very suggestive book on "The Origin of the Republican Form of Government." Tom Paine constantly drew his poisonous shafts against kings from the Old Testament armory. People do not fully realize the part played by the single passage in the book of Samuel (VIII-5-22) about the fate of Israel when it insisted on a King. With endless zest and prophetic zeal the devout preachers fulminated against kings and the evils they represented as could be discerned from the Bible. And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said: 'This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots . . . And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants . . . And he will take your men-servants and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will Jtake the tenth of your flocks; and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye shall have chosen; and the Lord will not answer you in that day. This and kindred passages the early colonists know by heart and they never tired citing it to abrogate their

In the 18th century the few Jews present among the American colonies played an important role in the mercantile and commercial development ' Because of their connections with branches of their families in England, Holland, France and Spain proper, many of. the Spanish-Portuguese were' vital factors in the expanse of colonial trade.
