Spain and the Jews.
Four hundred and twenty-nine years have now passed since
the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. A short time, compara-
tively speaking, for the wheel of justice to have turned. Yet,
Spain has in late years been making every effort to induce the
descendants of those she expelled to return.
Whether or not many Jews will return in response to
Spain's hospitable attitude is, of course, problematical. It is
quite possible that the memory of the inquisition—its tortures
and agonies and the death of hundreds of thousands—is still
too vivid in the minds of our people to allow the step. It is
quite possible that the vow of the ancestors never again to
set foot upon the soil that reeked with Jewish blood will be
paid by their remote descendants. It is to be hoped, however,
that many of our brethren will forgive, though they cannot
forget, that chapter in the history of our people's past. The
value of adding Spain to the few countries where the Jew may
now breathe freely and live normally cannot be overestimated.
If many Jews were to take up their domicile in Spain on a
basis of perfect equality with the other citizens, they would
further the Jewish cause in two ways. They would better the
country and themselves, thus relieving also the stress which
the majority of our people have to bear, and they would prob-
ably make those nations whose eyes have not yet been opened
to the truth that the Jew is a benefit and not a detriment to
any country in which he lives comprehend their own folly. For,
Spain, the government as well as the people at large, now fully
appreciates, this fact and makes frank to confess its motives
for entreating the Jews to come to her. Although King Ferdi-
nand was too far under the spell of the inquisition to grasp
the meaning of Sultan Salim's message expressing his deep
gratitude to the ruler of Spain for sending him such desirable
and welcome subjects when some of the unfortunate exiles
arrived in Turkey, King Alfonso, with 400 years of Spanish his-
tory and experience to enlighten him, has been able to under-
stand and grasp the meaning as well as the truth of Salim's
words. In fact, it is quite probable that General Prim, who,
in 1858, when Spain became a republic, repealed the edict of
expulsion, realized and repealed the crimes and the follies of
the Spanish inquisition.
True, our people's sufferings in Spain were so severe that
they could not but burn themselves upon the Jewish soul. But
what about other countries and states where the Jew suffered
untold tortures and indescribile misery? What about the Ger-
man cities and states—Frankfort, Mayence, Worms, Nurem-
berg—where mob violence and massacres counted their Jewish
victims by the thousands, and where, nevertheless, Jews have
been among the most loyal and loving subjects of the Father-
land? What about benighted Russia and Poland who treated
the Jews even worse than Spain did, who, instead of expelling
them, have simply been hounding their Jews to starvation and
death, but who would find their Jews, even those who live in
foreign lands, ready and willing to support them, if they only
granted them human rights? Besides, it must be remembered
that alongside of the sad memories of Spain there lives in the
Jewish mind also happy memories. The recollection of the ex-
pulsion cannot bring tothe consciousness of the Jew the fact that
the most pleasant period in his history of wandering, the high-
est social and political positions his people have ever occupied,
the most flourishing conditions of culture and learning the peo-
ple have ever enjoyed was also in Spain. While, thefore, one
part of his experience is a drawing force. While the sad mem -
ories of his suffering and misery in Spain are calculated to make
the Jew hesitate, the happy memories of his freedom and pros-
perity in Spain, should make him grasp the opportunity of re-
turningto Spain and to help in rebuilding the country which—
one is tempted to look upon it as an evidence of retributive jus-
tice—has paid dearly for its cruelty and inhumanity to the Jew-
ish people.—(The Jewish Ledger.)
Taking Care of Our Own.
The mass of Jewish citizenry of this great United States dur-
ing the past fortnight again demonstrated to the world that
"we take care of our own".
But a short time ago the swift-flowing rivers of Colorado
state suddenly became swollen and bulging with terrific rage.
Bent on destruction it broke forth from its regular course and in
its fury swept its way across a goodly portion of the state, leav-
ing in its path havoc and ruin.
Homes, the solitary possesion of many, were torn into bits
by the frenzied waters; brick buildings were dashed to the
ground; streets were made impassable ; electric light poles were
torn asunder, throwing sections of the state into darkness.
Chaos reigned!
This is not a new picture to Omahans. Well do we remem-
ber the appearance of our own city following the Easter Day
tornado of 1913.
Colorado in this terrible plight was helpless. The wheels
of her industries were at a standstill. tier citizens stood about
awed and dismayed by the extent of the destruction. A state
relief organization began its work. A campaign for funds was
launched; homeless were given temporary food and shelter;
streets were cleared and cities were lighted.
Leading Jews of Celorado immediately sensed their respon-
sibility in view of the terrible plight of their brethen. Reform
Jew and Orthodox; Zionist and non-Zionist; radical and con-
servative—all joined to aid their co-religionists.
"We do not want aid from the state," they said. "We take
care of our own."
An appeal for funds was made to co-religionists near and
far. There was an immediate response. The Jewish Welfare
Federation of Omaha sent a substantial sum. Many individuals
also dispatched personal contributions. Similar action was tak-
en in every state in the union.
Now homes are being established for our unfortunate breth-
ern. Many are being re-established in business. There is a
general feeling of brotherly love and sacrifice.
But even great tragedies as these are but ripples on the
great sea of life. Soon we will forget. But even so, the gentile;
world again has been impressed and imbued with the idea that
"the Jews take care of their own."—(The Jewish Press).
The Palestine Development League.
The Palestine Deveopment League, formed in Pittsburgh
on the Fourth of July by the former leaders of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, whose administration of Zionist affairs
was discredited at the annual convention in Cleveland, is a
constructive step in the direction of restoring and upbuilding
Palestine. The plans the League is promoting, and the insti-

concerned, it would seem, the Jewish-Nationalist issue which

mainly from outsiders. It is now re-
served for the Bolshevists themselves
to indicate that to be a Jew does not
necessarily imply qualification for ad-
mission into the fold of sovietism.
They deny this qualification especial-
ly for Zionists and are already in the
full tide of a campaign to oust them
from Russia and hamper their activi-
ties abroad. A secret circular just
sent out to Bolshevist agents in Eu-
rope asserts that the Zionist organiz-
ations are working "hand in hand
with the entente governments and
the bourgeois class to suppress labor
movements in sympathy with com-
munistic ideas." For this reason com-
munists are instructed to report on
all Zionist meetings wherever held
and to send in the names of delegates
in attendance. The Zionists must be
hindered as much as possible in ob-
taining halls for their meetings. The
factory workmen are instructed to
reject them, and they are to be cast
out by the trades unions whenever
discovered. Add the provision made
for "counter demonstrations" at
Zionist meetings and anti-Zionistic
literature and it becomes plain as
Lenin can make it that the commun-
ists are alarmed. The one thing they
accomplish is to make it just as plain
that Zionism is not synonymous with
Bolshevism.
Over the signature of Mr. Roger Lambelin, the Revue Heb-
domadaire has published an article entited "The Jewish Con-
quest of England." It is a hotch-potch of all the accusations
daily served up by the London Morning Post. The writer
traces the growing influence (as he alleges) of the Jews since
the day when they were admitted into Parliament, and asserts
that Lord Beaconsfield was only converted in order to safe-
guard the interests of his race. Now, not only the government,
but also the press are in the hands of the Jews. The article
instances the Daily Telegraph, Daily Express, Westminster Ga-
zette and Daily News as Jewish organs.
After pointing out that the Jewish thirst for world domina-
tion has been in some measure satisfied by the Balfour Declara
tion, the writer asserts that the Jews are making full prepara
tions to play the leading role in all future wars. lie declares,
that they have already captured the British General Staff and
the Air Ministry, in which no less than 19 staff officers are
Jews. As for the League of Nations, it is but the product of
the Jewish Freemasons. The British delegates are either Jews ,
or Jew lovers. The Secretary-General, on the day of his arrival
at Geneva, immediately called on the Chief Rabbi to assure
him of his friendly sentiments. It is to be regretted that these
attacks on the Jews are not confined to papers that are openly
anti-Semitic. Even a paper of such standing as the Matin

(Copyright, 1921. By ('has. II. Joseph.)
The most serious handicap that has ever been imposed upon public

sylvania that no sectarian institution, regardless of how broadly the
term "sectarian" may be construed, c•n recei•e funds from the state.
Asa rsuit of this decision, almost seventy Protestant, Jewish and
Catholic hospitals and other institutions have been affected. I know
that for years the impression has been that even though an institution
was controlled by persons of • certain religious group, but opened its
doors to persons of all denominations or no denomination, that it could
not be construed, strictly speaking, •s a sectarian institution.
This to my mind in such an important decision and so far-reaching
in its influence that I want to quote these few lines from the justice
rendering the decision:
"Article IX, Section 18, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania pro-
vides that no appropriation shall be made to any denominational or
tectarian institution. Taken at face value these words are most com-
prehensive in scope; they plainly forbid state aid to institutions affili-
ated with a particular religious sect or denomination, or which are
under control, domination or governing influence of any religious sect
or denomination; the ordinary understanding of the phrase sect or de-
nomination being a church or a body of persons united for purposes of
worship, who profess a common religious faith and are distinguished
from other such bodies by a name of their own. . . . . and even
though the institution in question may bestow its benefits on others
and permit those outside the ranks of the sect to take part in its man-
agement, it is none the less a sectatrian or denominational institution."

The longevity of the Jew, particularly he of the so-called "old
school"—you know him, the sturdy, valid Jew—has always been the
subject of comment. Maybe John Locke, the philosopher, has given
an one of the reasons—aside from that of his strict adherence to the
Mosaic diet—in his thoughts on education, written in 1693. I find this
sentence: "If the rivers of Italy are warmer, those of Germany and
Poland are much colder, than any in this our country (England), and
yet in these, the Jews both men and women, bathe all over, at all sea-
mans of the year, without prejudice to their health."
Locke was an ardent advocate of "hard" living—to make one's self
healthy. And mothers who dote on Holt and Griffith and all the other
doctors who have written books on how to rear children properly--
that is to say, healthfully—they will find it worth while delving into
the tomes of this philosopher to find out how this man, writing in the
year 1693, could lay down such simple rules for the promotion of the
health of the child. I am tempted to quote liberally from this very
interesting treatise on the training of children, but I fem. that I shall

Locke on "Some Thoughts Concerning Education."

PARIS.—(J. T. B.)—The Commit-

ed a bulletin which reproduces a de-
hate held in the French Chamber of
Deputies on the question of Minority
Rights as granted by the Versailles
treaty. Important speeches were
held on that occasion by Abbe Wet-
tore and by the Catholic Deputy Sag-
nier, both of whom maintained that
the stipulations as to minorities were
the key-stone of the treaties with the
various countries and that if these
were not respected, peace in Europe
would be impossible.
The same bulletin contains docu-
ments on recent events in Palestine,
on the attitude of the Polish Govern-
ment towards the Jewish question,
and on the Balakho•itch affair.
