Jewish U !• Interesting to note bow closely related are the tenets of JTodalmB and Americanism concerning all tbe funS&meutel Ideals *f man as a superior creature living in harmony with his fellow -man and exploiting Ids energies toward common betterment. In this brief article the author presents facts to illustrate that the attitude of the Jewish people always has been consistent with America's eonsciencious wtand for peace.

—THE EDITOR. In 1928 the world greeted with tremendous enthusiasm the signing of the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact outlawing war as an instrument for the settlement of international differences. The optimism which greeted this unprecedented step in world history has long singe disappeared, but it la well to remember that this Peace Pact is still a vital part of America^ foreign policy.

Non-recognition of the actions of aggressor nations, such as Japan's conquest of Manchuria and Italy's subjugation of Ethiopia, is based directly upon the KelloggBrland Pact.

The basic idea for this peace treaty which fifty-none nations signed, w a s first proposed by Salmon Levinson, a prom inent Chicago attorney, in 1921. His untiring efforts eventually won him the support of Senator Borah, the late Secretary Knox, Professor John Dewey, and many other distinguished Americans.

After the signing of the Peace Pact, Lerinson continued his work for world peace by securing a change in the statute of the World Court disavowing enforcement of its decisions by war or other force, in 1929 he also gave the University of Idaho, an endowment of $50,000 for the establishment of the William Edgar Borah Outlawry of War Foundation.

Early Peace Appeals , The traditional Jewish attitude toward war is closely akin to the theory that war is illegal, an American c o n c e p t which first , found expression in the writings of Madison and Hamilton at the Constiutional Convention of 1787 ' Efforts of Jews to promote world "1 3 > peace predate the World War by '- «* many centuries. As early as 1573.

Azarlah de Rossi w r o t e in his book MeorEnayim (p. 169b) published in Mantua: "All the peoples of the earth should know 'that while we, the remnant of Israel, live in dispersion, we are obliged, according to the words of the Prophets and the tradition of the Pothers, to pray for peace and welfare of the state that rales over as. At the present time above all . . . it Is our duty to supplicate Almight 43od for the peace of all the toh&Mtants of the wctfid, that no people may liTe up the s w o r d against another . . . end that He easy remove frosn their hearts all strife emS hatred, feaplsBting, la* stead peace la fhe sresfld: for ia tfeeir peace we too bare peace."9 (Quoted by Cecil Stotb. "The Jewish CoBtribations to XXvilization/* London, 1&38.) : In recent times Jews may claim credit Cor having inspired numerous efforts toward the establishment of world peace. The thesis of the Russian. Jewish writer Iran S. Bloch in 1898 that war meant the suicide of humanity Influenced ' Czar Nicholas II to take the step which eventually led to the establishment of the Hague Tribunal.

A prominent member of this body for some years was Oscar Straus, who later also served as the Chairman of the League of Sfetioas Peace Committee. The Nobel Peace Prise, of 1911 was awarded to two Jews, T o b i a s ' Michael Caret Asser, a prominent HallaBtt jurist, and Alfred Hermann Juried, an Austrian who among, other peace activities had founded the German Peace Society in 1«&2. . . , During the World War.

Annually since 1932 it has aided in sending two students to the Peace Caravan. It also cooperated in the Emergency Peace Campaign.

In keeping with the tenets of Judaism, rabbinical bodies and their subsidiary lay groups have also advocated the maintenance of peace. The Central Conference of American Rabbis, association of the Jteformed Rabbis, passed the following resolution in 1924: ". . . We urge upon our fellow citizens and upon those who guide the destinies of our land that, being true to themselves, they adopt an uncompromising opposition t» war. We believe that war is morally indefensible."

The National Federation of Temple-Sisterhoods has also placed Itself on record as opposing war la the settlement of international disputes.- A resolution to this effect was passed in 1927, and subsequently.it became a member of the National P e a c e Conference and the National Council for the Prevention of War. The Federation baa also established a. Committee on Peace which issues books and study oatlines, holds public meetings and aids local groups t» educate their own members in. the cause at peace. That these numerous efforts do coatribute to the fight for peace was proved by a survey conducted in 1954 by Klrby Page..

WAR ECHOES Don't be surprised If the num ber of Jews in Nazi-occupied Po land shows a marked increase. . . . The Naai ruling that young Poles must give their blood for transfusions for-wounded German soldiers but that Jewish blood isn't suitable for this purpose has resulted in a large number of Polish young men registering with the Jewish community and wearing the yellow badge, to escape becoming blood donors for Nazis. . . . In charge of Germany's affairs in Palestine, which is at war with Hitler, is the Swiss consul, one of whose Jobs it now is to protect the rights of the German subjects held In Palestinian concentration camps. . . . The most interesting aspect of this situation is that this Swiss protector of the Germans of Eretz Israel Is a Jew. . . . Menasho Unger, student of Jewish historical curlosa, tells us that Alexandria, now so much in the war news, had a Jewish population of 1,200,000 in the first century B. C. E., and that this Jewish community had a temple modeled after that in Jerusalem. . . . And that the biggest synagogue In Alexandria today is named after the Prophet Elijah, who is said to hare prayed on the spot where the building now etands. . . .

Leave it to the Nazis to add inJury to insult. . . . Not only has Judenfresser Adolf arranged his entire career in accordance with the horoscope cast for him by the Jewish astrologer Hanussen, but it now appears that Hitler is timing his entire blitzkrieg to gibe with the prognostications of the sixteenth-century Jewish soothsayer Michael Nostradamus, who, as we reminded you a couple of weeks ago, foretold the fall of Paris after an aerial attack from the east.

THIS AND^THAT The Rev. Ii. M. Birkhead of Itansas City, who was carrying on a one-man campaign against unAmerican forces long before the G-men woke up to the fifth column peril, suspects that the Jury which acquitted those "Christian Frontcrs*" in Brooklyn recently was subjected to undue influence, and that not all the jurors were free of bias in favor of the men on trial for sedition. . . . Twentyyear-old Hazel Scott is making quite a name for herself as a singer of1 Jewish songs, such as "Ell, EM,? "Kol Nidre" and "Yiddlsho Mama." . . . .Which would be nothing startling were it not for the fact that Hazel is a coffeecolored swing singer from Harlem and works in a Broadway night club for a living. . . . D i d you know that it was Washington Irving who told Sir Walter Scott alt about Rebecca Gratz, who became the prototype for the Rebecca of "Ivanhoc?" . . . And t h a t Rebecca's father, Michael Gratz, at one time owned Ken tacky's Mammoth Cave? . . . W a i ter Winchcll reports -a sign to a Chicago show window proclaiming that the Jewish proprietor of the establishment would rather, deal with a hundred Nazis than with one Jew. . . . It seems the place Is an undertaker's parlor.

Excerpts From the Address Delivered at the 43rd Annual Coi&vettfion of the Zionist ' Organisation of America iin l No Zionist Convention and uo> Zionist Congress ever assembled • in circumstances so big with fate as the present . . .- What Imports , a special solemnity to these days and touches them with a unique and tremendous significance is the thought and hope that perhaps tbe Jewish people at last have real allies. Perhaps at last the democracies have come to realize that tbelr destiny and the destiny of civilization are cast on the same stake with the Jewish people. Century after century we had pleaded that the mergence of a sudden anti-Jew passion was always and everywhere only the first rumblings of frightful convulsions. We •were only the seismograph receiving and recording the first impact of the shock that was to follow.

[When the Jew was made the tar! get of a wild onslaught his oppres' Bor was olnly training for a wilder inevitable onslaught on others . .

Why was not the world aroused by the extraordinary succession of ' Nati Inhumanities a g a i n s t the Jews? It is this. Hitlerism had the immunity of anti-Semitism. Hitler's Insanity, his plans against western civilization were veiled from tbe world by Its complacency to bis anti-Semitism . . . Hitler found the world receptive because Jew-baiting had long since achieved the status of a respectable social and political activity . . .

Failed to Understand Problem

ing etorm troopers, fostering hostility against the United States in S o u t h America, advertising the triumphs and extolling the virtues of the Nazi, weakening the morale of this country, and In general, preparing for the final victory of Nazism . . .

Zionism Not Passing Phase Do not commit the error of regarding Zionist as a passing phase in Jewish history, a reflex of international fashions In nationalism . . , Do not regard it as the narrow program of a political group. Zionism is part and parcel of the whole historical development and the ethical substance of the Jew . . . All attempts to have it otherwise are vain . , .

We say to non-Jews who do not know our record yet, we say to Jews who have hesitated to make their Jewlshness synonymous with Zionism, "Behold what the handful of Eastern Jews, yesterday's victims of Nicholas II, have achieved In Palestine. A civilization has been created, recreated, adjusted, reconstructed in a little more than a few decades."

ANTI-SEMITISM IN FRANCE SEEN AS FASCISM

THE PIONEER

By AL 0EGAL

(Continued fioia Page I.) Maadel, former French Interior Minister, has been ordered arrested in Morocco by the French Government, together "with ex-Premier Edouard Daladier and other former ministers. M a n d e 1 was "the soul of France," in the days before the capitulation, fighting w i t h "Intelligence, stubborness and patriotism for faith to an ally and war to the end for the honor of Trance," according to a London dispatch written for the North American News Alliance by Elie J. Bols, former editor of Le Petit Parisien.

A warning that German might would be used against Jews in any country of Europe where t h e y sought to increase their influence waB voiced in the Krakauer Zeitung, oficial Nazi organ in Poland.

The newspaper, in an article on the "Jewish question," said antiSemitism was gaining ground In Europe and that even F r a n c e , where it had been unknown since the Dreyfus case, was returning to anti-Semitism s i n c e its defeat.

Countries under the c o n t r o l of Germany arS Italy, the newspaper asserted, are evicting Jews from all position and they will "never again enjoy their former position In Europe."

"If the Jews manage to establish themselves in a n y country and seek to increase their influence there," the article said, "Germany will oppose them. The Jews know w h a t German opposition means."

Allen Jews Lose Citizenship London (JTA) — The Vichy Government has decided to void the citizenship of all alien Jews who received naturalization papers on joining French a r m e d forces after the start of the war, reliable r e p o r t s reachingvhere said.

The Nazis are conducting an anti-Jewish campaign in France, showing anti-Semitic motion pictures dealing with ritual murders in cinemas of Paris and other cities. Most business concerns in the Jewish quarter of Paris are closed down. Returning Jewish refugees are unable to find work.

Composer Darius Milhaud in U. S. New York (JTA)—Darius Milhaud, France's outstanding composer, arrived here Monday on the American Export liner Excainbion from Lisbon. The Jewish composer was accompanied by his wife and their 10-year-old tion, Daniel.

He was last in Paris in May when his latest opera, "Medee/ was produced at the Paris Opera House. Milhaud was one of a group of French modernist composers called "The six."

Frid.y, July 19, 1040 have found security within lt# borders.

Tim Portuguese ' influence in this liCMilsiihere has never been fully realized. Br&zil, best friend of the United States in South' America, is linked to Portugal by language and custom. Portuguese Je^'s were among the first to come to the New World. Portuguese Jews founded the famous synagogue in Newport, II. I., first to be established in America, where George /Washington* delivered an tuldress that has become a treasured tradition of American Jewry.

American foreign policy will not allow Portugal to fall, we1 hope. It is tremendously important to the continuance of a semblance of American and democratic influence in Europe that Portugal stays outside the Axis.

It must be remembered that the worst of the Nazi atrocities have been enunciated, but not yet accomplished. They have not been accomplished because of the effect tipon "world public opinion," which in reality means the'public opinion of the people of the United States.

If Portugal is throttled, every horror that you can imagine will befall European Jewry. "Public opinion" will no longer require consideration by the Nazi beasts.

What happens within the borders of Europe will be forever hidden within those borders.

When food is boiled, the scum covers the surface; when a political situation is turbulent the • same phenomenon may be noticed. This has been amply illustrated by the recent and discouraging : events in Europe when the jingoes, the traitors, - the opportunists, the politically dishonest rose to - the surface of the French government. Names aseociated with all phases of shady politics are now steering the French government and steering it even more closely to the rocks.

As in the days of the Directorate which followed the French Revolution, three men are in control of France — Marshall Phillippe Petain, Pierre Laval, and Adrien Marquet. The first, who has been charged with deliberately betraying the French government either by panic or dishonesty, has been a warm admirer of the oppressive system Within the last few days the of General Francisco Franco.

THE JEWISH PRESS

Pat* *

Refugees crowd the streets of Havanna in all too noticeable numbers. More than 6,000 arrived there In the past few years; some 20,000 immigrants f r o m Eastern and Central Europe had settled in Cuba previously. There is appalling destitution among them, which the Joint Distribution Committee has done much to relieve. There is need, however, for the construction task of trainIng these otherwise hopeless wanderers to the new life that they must find on this side of the Atlantic.

I have only recently returned from Cuba, and I was amazed to find how closely conditions there resembled the situation I found in South America two years ago, when I visited the Jewish communities in Brazil and the Argentine to investigate possibilities for the absorption of Jewish refugees.

In Brazil a colony of German Jewish refugees had settled, and to the extent that it was equipped to engage in productive labor, had taken root. However, among the 10,000 Jewish residents in prosperous San Paulo there were some 2,000 peddlers and petty merchants.

The Jewisn community—which Incidentally is distinguished for its philanthropy and public spirit, for the clinics, day nurseries, kindergartens, community center and synagogues it has established— was greatly concerned with the serious problems that would inevitably arise unless this largo group were retrained for more productive labor. All agreed on the crying need for the ORT program in that area and were greatly interested in the possibility of establishing agricultural colonies and Industrial trade schools.

Situation Worse The situation is even worse in Cuba since the refugees' are forbidden to take Jobs, and the consequent idleness and fear of the future has terribly shaken their morale. Presumably, most of the refugees are there as temporary visitors, and it is expected that they will eventually migrate to other countries.

It is hard to see such migration as a solution for them, however, unless they are retrained into trades and occupations that will make them completely acceptable immigrants in South America or elsewhere. A most useful purpose would be served If, •while they wait for quota numbers which are long in coming, they could be taught these useful trades.

'• It would help , restore their morale by giving promise for the future; it would occupy their leisure, of which they have unfortunately only too much. la brief, there is in Cuba aa in South America an urgent need for the ORT Constructive program.

At present there are economic A n d legal, complications which present difficulties, but it: is hoped that a way will be found.

Meanwhile; the Quakers are doing a good Job on a limited1 scale.

I visited the Pinca, or farm, conducted by the Quakers under the direction of Emmett W. Gulley. In this farm are housed 57 young refugees wlio are, getting practical experience, In gardening; .•weaving, wood-turning and general mechanics. In a d d i t i o n ,

courses are given in SpatiKli, ia American history, current events and English. Tae spirit of these young refugees is in marked contrast to the apathy of the forlorn emigrants who tlirong the Havana quays and stare listlessly oat on the harbor.

The refugees themselves are aware of the need and have organized a self-help society with a membership of 1,000. The head of this organization is a refugee named Garfinkel; they have an efficient director whose name is Weiss. This organization carries on cultural, recreational and vocational guidance activities in quarters rented from the Zionists.

Here are given courses in English and Spanish; and the spirit of the members is kept up with weekly concerts and entertainments.

What is lacking is a more efficient and scientific program of rehabilitation and retraining. There are too few trained teachers, and the organization of courses is imperfect. The ORT could very profitably take over the work which these refugees have begun, and which they cannot maintain efficiently because of the inadequate means at their disposal; tho ORT could obtain trained teachers, and organize a proper curriculum.

The refugees are themselves aware of the inadequacy of their program, and are struggling valiantly to overcome it. They have recently organized a number of

trade courses, but they l a c k money for paid teachers, and must therefore charge a tuition fee, which most of their members are unable to afford.

The courses to date are few in number but excellent. Tliey laelude: a course for masseurs, for locksmiths and eleetrieiaas, for milliners, for glovemaking, for cosmeticians and for dressmakers.

There are available among the refugees themselves conipetect and experienced persons to give these courses. The teachers, moreover, have the necessary tools and equipment which they managed to bring over with them from Europe. The teacher in the eleetrical and locksmithing class is a Cuban citizen, who has a fairly well equipped shop in the heart of Havana. The teacher of the cosmetic course formerly headed a cosmetic school in Vienna. Under proper auspices, and with small expenditure, there is a nucleus here for a genuine trade school, which could be combined with a workshop and centered under one roof.

At a cost of 10,000 to 15,000 pesos, ORT could take over this work, and in cooperation with the refugee society, organize it thoroughly.

There are few places in which the practical value and effectiveness of the ORT program could be better demonstrated than in Havana.

osewater Dies Victor Rosewater, a member ol a distinguished family of Oinalia pioneers, died last Friday night of heart disease at his home in Philadelphia where he had resided since leaving Omaha in 1022. He was 00 years of age and bad been seriously ill for the past six weeks.

A native of Omaha, son of the distinguished Omaha newspaperman and legislator, Edward Rosewater, Victor Rosewater bad been a leader in Republican politics and had served as chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1912 and was temporary chairman of the Republican national convention- which had renominated tho late President Taft.

Prom the time of his father'a death in 1906 to 1917 he was editor of the. old Omaha Bee which had been founded in 1871 by the older Rosewater. From 1917 to 1920 he served as publisher as well.

Disposing of the Bee in 1920, he later moved to Philadelphia to act aB publicity director of the Sesquicentennial Exposition then being planned. He was associated with pre-exposition activities until 1925 and since then had devoted himself to writing and lecturing.

The elder Rosewater, a native of Bohemia, had come to Omaha in 1863 as manager of the telegraph office which had been estab-

lished here by the Crelghton family. Victor Rosewater attended the Omaha schools and following hia graduation entered Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore. In bis senior year he transferred to Columbia where he received Ms degree in 1881. Following Us graduation be toured Europe. Upon his return he re-eatered Columbia and in 1893 took his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Political Science.

With "Ora&fca Bee" Later he joined the etaff of the Omaha Bee, which under his father's rule had become one of the most influential papers in the west. It had been started in 1871 as a small pamphlet and had expanded under the energetic leadership of t h e diminutive publisher. The elder Rosewater became famed for Ms militancy and on several occasions engaged in physical encounters with opponents.

Victor Rosewater, who had become managing editor of the Bee in 1895, was named a regent of the University of Nebraska in 1896 and lectured on subjects of municipal finance at the university aa well as at the Universities of Wisconsin and Missouri.

He was president of the first home rule charter convention for Omaha in 1913 and served on the Nebraska State Commission on Workmen's CoinpAD^ation and as chairman of the Nebraska Constitutional Convention Survey Committee. He had been a member of the American Jewish Committee and the American Academy of Political and Social Science.

For twenty-five years he was an active member of the Associated Press of Illinois and its successor, The Associated Press of New York. On several occasions he represented the American Newspaper Association in the solution of problems affecting the conduct of Journalism in the United States.

In Politics Like his father, he took a keen interest in Republican polities.

During the first Taft campaign of 1908 he was director of publicity for the western division. He took an active part in the National Conference on Conservation of Natural Resources, then a prime political issue, and was delegate-

at-large from Nebraska to the ISOSRepublic&n national convention. In 1912 he was chairman of the convention which was held at Chicago and created considerable furore when fee ruled against the delegates of tLe late Theodore Roosevelt in many important contests. This convention resulted in a split in the Republican party and led to tfae formation of the "Bull Moose" group.

During the world war he served as paper and pulp administrator for Nebraska, on the advisory council for national defense, and OQ the advisory council of the national civic federation.

He was the author of numerous articles and several books including: "Municipal Finance," "History of Cooperative Newsgathering In the United States," and a "History of the Liberty Bell." He contributed the article on "Laissei Faire" to Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy and the chapter on "Omaha" to "Historic Towns of the Western States." la 1912 he wrote "Back Stage,"which dealt with the happenings of the Republican convention.

This was later re-issued in 1932.

In 1921 he was mentioned for the post of assistant postmaster general under President Harding, but the appointment was blocked

by Senator George Norris.

Surviving are: his widow, tha former Katie Katz of Baltimore;, a son, Edward, and a daughter, Mrs. Percy Sax, Jr., both of Philadelphia.

The Jewish school system was introduced into Palestine in 10570 b, c. e.

100 Yeats alter the Damascus Incident

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

This is the second of two part* of • splendid article reviewing the Damascus incident of m century ago in the light of present-day events.

—THE EDITOR. The nobility of Christian aid to the Jews in fighting the ritual njurder libel has already been alluded to. In the House of Commons Robert Peel introduced the question by declaring "that it was merely necessary to mention the matter in the lower house, to reach the great ends of justice and humanity."

Lord Palmerston replied that he had "already directed the English consul-general, Hodges, to represent to Mehmet All what effect the news of such atrocities must produce in Europe, and that it was in his own interest to inquire into the matter, and hand orer to punishment the guilty parties. It they w e r e discovered, whilst the innocent victims should be indemnified, if this were still possible." These words were received With joy by the Jews and were accepted as a great tribute to British liberalism.

The sympathy aroused for the Jews opened the eyes of English 'Statesmen to the need of removing parliamentary d i s a b i l i t i e s .'against the Jews, which was not finally accomplished until a quarter of a century afterwards, in the . days of Disraeli. Thus O'Connell, ' b a t t l e r for Irish and Catholic rights in England, stated: "Obser; rations upon this subject would have been- stronger, if a member - of this House, belonging to the .- creed of the accused, had been i able to make them. The govern• ment ought to introduce a bill for the complete emancipation of the Jews."

••• Distinguished Assemblies ; To aid in the defense of the Innocently accused Jews to great aaemblies met in London. On June -23 Jewish leaders conferred at the Great Synagogue on the question • of sending a delegation to the Orient to secure justice. On July ; 3 a distinguished assembly of • Christians, also in London, unanimously carried a motion which read: ' • "That this meeting deeply de-plores the fact that in this en• lightened age a persecution of our • Jewish brethren could be set on foot by ignorance and inflamed , by bigotry."--.

At t h i s historic assembly of Christians, Lord Howdon, a clergyman very prominent in hia day, m a d e the following significant ,' statement: .' "We often find in tae my3ter. ious ways of Providence that good ; arises from evil, and therefore I > together with alt the friends of mankind, hope that the Pariia•ment of this country, expressing 7 its opinion of this cruelty, trill of.tcr a 'recompense to the Jews for - their sufferings fry legislation in ,tlielr favor." > Mo emphatic and noble was the „• British protest, that it toftaenced ,- Csar Nicholas I of Hussia sad the < United States Government to join ' t h e other* European nations in es• .pressing abhorreaco at the nsediorai practices In Damascos.-President Martin Van Bures, through ' his Secretary of State John For: sythe, urged tfss United States Minister at Constantinople to usa r his best efforts in behaff of the .persecuted Jews. The E3oateftoa« Mission Thus encouraged by l i b e r a l c Christian opinion aad by a united Jewry which xraa determined to . nail the h o a r j r lie, the historic • mission cot out for the Orient on • July 7. It #as headed, by Sir ; Moses dontcfiore, who was ac~

companied by his noble wife, Lady Judith; by Adolphe Cremieux, Salomon Munk, Dr. Louis Loewe Dr. Madden, a noted traveler and Oriental scholar, and Alderman Wire, who was later Lord Mayor of London.

An added favor from the British Government w a s bestowed upon this mission w h e n Queen Victoria not only joined the millions of friendly Christians in extending her good wishes, but in granting Montefiore an audience on the eve of the mission's departure and in placing at its disposal the use of her private yacht to cross the English Channel.

The mission fouad its path beset with dificulties. As a result of Interference from the French Consul General, Mehmet AH refused the commissioners permission to go to Damascus there to establish the innocence of the accused Jews. With the aid of the consuls of the other nations, however, Montefiore and his companions succeeded in securing the release of the imprisoned. Dr. Loewe however discovered in the Firman ordering their release that the word "pardon" was used, and the commissioners succeeded in having the term "an honorable liberation" substituted for the objectionable word.

An Historic Firman A sudden change in the political fortunes in the Near East, with control of Syria again going back to the Sultan of Turkey, caused the party headed by Sir Moses Montefiore to turn their way toward Constantinople to secure the good will of the new Syrian ruler. They arrived in Turkey on October 5. On October 28 Sultan Abdul M e d J1 d received them and pledged protection to the Jews. In a Firman which is t o d a y an historic document in Turkish archieves, the Sultan refuted the ritual murder charge.

This Firman read: "An ancient prejudice prevailed against the Jews. The ignorant believed that the Jews were accustomed to sacrifice a human being to make use of his blood at their Feast of Passover.

"In consequence of this opinion, the Jews of Damascus and Rhodes (who are subjects of our empire) have been persecuted by other nations. The calumnies which have been uttered against the Jews, and the vexations to which they have been subjected have at last reach-; ed our Imperial throne.

"But a short time has elapsed since some Jews dwelling in the Island of R h o d e s have been brought from thence to- Constantinople, where they h a r e been tried and judged according to the

need of organizing. Freach Jewry, He was instrumental, as a result of the Jessons he learned from the Damascus affair, in organizing tha Alliance Israelite Universelle ia 1860.

In other lands Jews similarly organized, and, in the words of Lord Howdon, much "good arose from evil."

(Copyright, 1940, by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) New York (JTA) — More than $60,000 has already been pledged by 100 chapters of the Mizracbl Organization of America toward the $100,000 Isaac Herzog Colony in Palestine which will honor the Chief Rabbi of the Holy Land, President Leoa Gellman, of Miz"» rachi announced.

Simeon Jacobs, an English Jewp was an attorney-general of Capo Colony.

In 1459 the Chief Rabbi of Constantinople was made a Turkish state official.

Sir Mortimer D a v i s was tha first Canadian Jew to be knighted.

new regulations, and their innocence of the accusations m a d e against them fully proved. That, therefore, which justice and equity required has been done on their behalf.

"Besides which the religious books of the Hebrews have been examined by learned men, well versed in their theological literature, the result of which examination is that it is found that the Jews are strongly prohibited, not only from using human blood, but even that of animals. It, therefore follows t h a t the charges made against them and their religion are nothing but pure calumny.

"For this reason, and for the love we bear to our subjects, we cannot permit the Jewish nation (whose innocence of the crime alleged against them is evident) to be vexed and tormented upoii acT cusations which have not the least foundation in truth, but, in conformity to the Hatti-Sherif which has been proclaimed at Gulhani, the Jewish nation shall possess the same advantages and enjoy the same privileges as are granted to the numerous other nations who submit to our authority.

"The Jewish nation s h a l l be protected and defended.

"To accomplish this object, we have given the most positive orders that the J e w i s h nation, dwelling in all parts of our empire, shall be perfectly protected, as well as all other subjects of the Sublime Porte, and that no person shall molest them in any manner whatever (except for a just cause), either In the free exercises of their religion, or that which concerns their safety and tranquillty. In consequence, the present Firman which is ornamented, at the head w i t h our "Hoomaioon" (sign manual), and emanates from our imperial chancellor ries has been delivered to the Israelitish nation.

"Thus you, the above mentioned judge, when you know the contents of the Firman, will endeavor to act with great care in the manner therein prescribed. And in order that nothing may be done in opposition to this Firman, at any time hereafter, you will register it in the achives of the Tribunal; you will afterwards deliver it to the Israelitish nation, and you will take great care to execute our orders and this our Sovereign will. , "Given at Constantinople, 12th

Ramazan, 1256 (6 th November, 1840."

Results of Damascus Affair Although the ritual murder lie repeats itself every year in many parts of the world, around Passover time, and although even in Dainacus attempts were made oaly a few years ago to revive the hoary lie, the results of the efforts of the mission of Sir Moses Motttefiore and the g r e a t Jews who served with him( and the noble Christian who encouraged them) was that ritual murder incriminations were relegated to ranks of the most ignorant and most lowly.

But a result of much greater significance was that Jews began to think in terms of unity and cooperation, and that the various branches of world Israel were more closely knit together by the tragedy. T h i s horrible affair proved the helplessness of unorganized Jewry. Adolphe Cretnleux, who was great not only ia the service of the Jewish people but as well iu that of France, whom he served as minister of justice in 1848 and as a member of the Government of National Defense iu 1871, during the Franco-Prussian war, was awakened to the
