We hear much of the unusual recognition accorded the Jews of
England in public life. But after carefully analysing the situation it
seems that the United SWes has not been backward in this respect.
There is • Lord Chief Justice in England who is ■ Jew, but then we
have a Brandeis on the Supreme Bench and 1 have no doubt that if
the opportunity occurs and there is the right man available some day
we shall see • Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who is a Jew.
There seems to be less prejudice there than most anywhre else, be-
cause the fact of Chief Justice White being a Catholic has scarcely
ever been mentioned or considered; and it should I a that way.
We have had Jews in the United States Senate, Jewish governors,
Jews in the House of Congress, mayors of cities, in the President's
cabinet and in fact in every office except that of the President or
Vice-President. We have any number of judges. So I fail to are
where England has been freer in this respect than our own country.
Socially England has been broader in her relations with her Jews.
Speaking of social discrimination in this country, I note with
considerable interest that the Hotel Raymond, in Pasadena, for years
one of the Pacific Coast's leading hotels, at which many of our
prominent Jews stopped, has finally come out against accepting
further Jewish patronage. Now the Marlborough Blenheim and the
Hotel Raymond can join hands across the continent. Business is
business, so Boniface Raymond probably figures, and it means a
greater income without the Jews, so there you have it.
am heartily in accord with the statement issued by Rabbis Silver
and Wolsey of Cleveland in announcing that inasmuch as the Central
Conference of American Rabbis has announced that fermented wine
is not at all y for any or all sacramental purposes and that
an unfermented wine is adequate, they will issue no permits for
obtaining of wine, "believing the practice not alone unnecessary but
open to grave abuse., which may lead to practices detrimental to the
highest interests of our people." I hope that every rabbi in this
country will follow their example.
I shall await with unusual eagerness and interest the forthcoming
article of Prof Ralph Boas in the next issue (May) of the Atlantic
Monthly, which, according to the editor, will be "a sane rebutt•l of
the ■ nti•Semitic agitation now going on in this country." Professor
I occasions created considerable interest in his
Boas has on
writings and I am sure that he will have a worth•while message on
the subject of which the whole country is, I am sure, heartily sick.
Now that Dr. Kohler, head of the Hebrew Union College, has
actually resigned, and his resignation been accepted and he has been
made President Emeritus, there need no longer be any modest reluct-
ance on the part of the rabbis of the country who have inclinations
to succeed the distinguished Jewish scholar as head of the Reform
Jewish college. I am told that some of the younger men are in the

Rabbi Leo Franklin wants the President and Congress to take some

idle pretensions or we were in earnest when he called for the sacrifice
of lives in this cause. The world can't be made safe for anything or
anybody if the great powers that control the world permit the ore..

this country but all countries to kill at birth this hideous thing that
has come to life in Vienna and which through skillful play upon preju•
