PAGE SEVEN THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE JEWS OF GERMANY TO TURN PAGE ON GLOOMY CHAPTER (Continued From Page 1.) Fine Candies It is curious that September 10 192I--the very day perhaps, on which the first fruits are gathered in front the fields of the Halbe farm as they were in the time of the Kings—cur- ious that September 10, 1921 should mark the 25(Ith anniversary of the Jewish community in Berlin. It was on September 10, 1671 that two Jews, Abraham Reif: and Benedict Veit were given special permission to set- tle in Berlin, from which place, hith- erto, the Jews had been excluded. The executive council of the Jewish community at its last session planned a fitting celebration to commemorate this event, which also may be said to mark the birth of Reformed Juda- ism. The following incident may well have taken place in tolerant America, but in a European country, a country Willa raised the Jew rarely to places of distinction and then generally to shower hint with ignominy and dis- grace, it is almost unbelievable. One Professor Schreiber, leader of the German Centrum or Catholic party, declared here recently that his organization was absolutely opposed to anti-Semiticism, and that au anti- Jewish policy could be of value only to Junkers and the German Chauvin- ists. The Centrum, he said, stood for religious tolerance and it would never support any policy leading to race antagonism. Of course, here and there arc out- breaks still. The enmity of centur- ies, the jealousy and hatred are so many rocks to be eroded slowly by the trickling stream, not merely mists of river fog to he dissipated with the first rays of a rising sun. For some time Francisca Eichhorn, a nurse in one of the Berlin hospitals had been making a practice of sta- tioning herself on the Berlin Kurfur- stendamm and delivering anti-Semite speeches. But so much commotion arose that the city police were com- 1.0>X•X•X•1 4:K•io:4:•:•:•X•X•X•X•.:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•X•I•X•:•:•:.•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•: pelled to arrest her, if only as a 0 Abraham Cooper David Cooper "disturber of the peace." At Nuremberg, some fanatical anti- Semites undertook to distribute proc- lamations and handbills among the patients.

Glendale 7117 is moving, quietly but firmly and with resolution. Against these vestigia traces of the old regime is to be bal arced the Schreiber incident—and out other. In Munich, the Minister of the In tenor, Endres, has issued a circular to all police officials, in which he calls their attention to the marked anti-Semitic agitation which is being carried on, and declares that agita- tion is now become positively harm- ful. lie directs the police officials to be most strict in suppressing all anti- Semitic instigations and directs them to take all measures to apprehend agitators and propagandists. Ile asks, further, that all press-cuttings from anti-Jewish papers, which con- tain such instigations be send to him for summary action against their ed- itors. But all is not gloom, strife and the continual stress of Jewish and non- lewish forces working each toward "their separate ends. There was a bit of humor, like a rift in the clouds, that appeared the other (lay at Kiel when members of the local Minyon, following so many illustrations ex- amples throughout the world, proced- ed to walk out on strike with a de- mand for higher wages. Those who haul to say "Kaddish" felt rather put out about the matter, but as no strike-breakers were to be found in the pious town, the strikers won their point and in a few days were back on the job. The sayers of "Kaddish" had to be cootent with the fact that the Minyon had not also demanded shorter hours. Assuredly, the future promises well for the Jews in Germany.

(Continued From Page 1.) and other countries were waiting, breathlessly to receive; they had with them the lists of thousands of victims of the pogroms. Yet the Joint Distribution Commit- tee invited them to no meetings, no conference, no consultation of any kind and when arrangements were made to send delegates to Ukrainia no steps were taken to have these dele- gates meet with the representatives of Ukrainian Jewry and to receive their information and recommendation. There was ample time for such a con- ference and such action can be taken very quickly in case of emergency. Dr. Coralnick arrived on December 6, Mr. Grossman landed in New York on December 29. Messrs. Friedlander, Fischer and Fine sailed on January 9. Eleven days is certainly enough for the most hurried consultation. Dr. Coralnick and Mr. Grossman, on their arrival here, heard about the plans for the sending of commissioners to Uk- rainia, learned of conferences and ne- gotiations with regard to these plans, gave their views to such organizations of the masses as asked for the same and wondered why the central office of Jewish war relief agencies, wishing to deal with the problem in Ukrainia had no concern to find out anything as to what the Jews in Ukrainia them- selves felt and thought with regard to their distressing situation. Meanwhile the large Jewish masses were touched to the core by the poignant tale of woe told by the messengers from bloodstained Ukrainia and were moved to untold depths of anguish. I presume that the saute time the Gentile press agents of the Joint Dis- tribution Committee and some of the other relief agencies were racking their brains how to invent lurid ap- peal which may beguile Jews into giv- ing additional funds for relief work. But be that as it may, the fact re- mains that the American Jewish com- missioners to Ukrainia failed to meet with and to give a hearing to the spokesmen of a large section of our suffering brethren abroad and that by this amazing act the joint Distribu- tion Committee has completely ig- nored the wishes and aspirations of two million of our distressed brethren. And I ask why is it that our leading organizations are bent upon adding insult to the endless injuries which have been suffered by the Jews in the war zones? Why do we thus hemcan the noble work of feeding the hungry and uplifting the fallen? Why is it that we refuse to take into consider- ation the wishes and desires, the hopes and aspirations, the great spiritual and intellectual forces of our brethren in Eastern Europe who temporarily happen to be in need of our help? W'hy do we deliberately take upon ourselves the guilt of depriving those who have been bereft of everything dear to them, of their last vestages of dignity, self-reliance and pride? The ideas and plans which the Jews in Eastern Europe have for their social and economic rehabilitation may or may not he acceptable to us. But why do we refuse to give them a hearing? 1 know that we have to be careful and conservative—that we have to be especially cautious not to say anything when our brethren are being butch- ered abroad—I know that the Joint Distribution Committee has on its di- rectorate men of eminence and lead- ing, but I most respectfully submit that the Jewries in Eastern Europe can match the best minds and hearts who direct our work of relief. The Jews of Eastern Europe have not al- ways been in such distress and it is only unparalleled world catastrophe which could reduce them to the cir- cumstances under which some of our cynical and self-satisfied public busy- bodies may think of them as schnor- rens. We have drawn much if not most of our sniritual sustenance from the Jews of Eastern Europe and the communities which have produced the Smolinskys and the Bialiks. the Har- kavys and the Hessens. the Abramo- witz; and the Ginshurgs, the whole 0=101=10=10 1=101=0 ==t0=01................ 0 Morning - Noon g o and Night 0 U 6 0 You use your 0 Dining Room Furniture 8 It is very important That the style, material and construction be Leaitless. a O O N 0 UALITY is never forgotten here, and we 0 0 Q are doing our bit to keep the prices down.
