can do much to eradicate the misun-
derstanding regarding the Jews, and
it is their duty to to so. There are
many of them, however, who do n ot
think this way, and instead of pre-
senting their co-religionists in a good
light they either ridicule them or a s.
cribe to them exceedingly unfavor-
able qualities.
Many of our best Jewish actors and
actresses appear in vaudeville sketches
which portray the Jews in the most
disparaging manner, so that they can
win the praise of their audiences and
reap large financial gains, little
dreaming how much harm they are
doing to the Jewish cause, or if they
do think about it they are indifferent
as long as they are in the limelight.
It is ufortunate that there are
some vaudeville skits presenting Jews
in a most contemptible light, which is
the work of the Jews themselves. Rut,
be it said to the credit of a large
number of Jews in the field of the
drama and music, that they take a
foremost rank in their art and that
they are proud of their Jewish an-
cestry and would appear in no pro-
duction that would cast an undesir-
able reflection upon their brethren in
faith.
A writer in one of our esteemed
contemporaries has suggested that
the Jews on the stage could do much
to alleviate the distress of their co-
religionists in England and Central
Europe by arousing public opinion
concerning their terrible condition. He
believes that 75 per cent of the agi.

was due to the efforts 1,1 John Mc-
Cormick and other Irish people on

of their people, /1 Ild there is no rea-
son why this cannot be done by the
Jews.
The horrible condition of the Jews
in Poland, Russia and Ukrainia is
realized by only a small percentage of
the people, and yet it is for worse
than in Ireland. The treatment of
the Jews in those countries is due
mostly to religious hatred.
Never in the history of the world
have the Jewish actors and actresses
been so duty bound to help their suf-
fering co-religionists as at present.
Will they do it? We hope and trust
that they will.
Without a doubt, our Jewish actors,
actresses and singers, with their su-
perior talents along these lines, could
do much that would awaken within
the hearts of the American pe o ple a
keen sympathy for those unfortunate
sufferers whose only crime is being
true and loyal Jews.

degree in protecting the rights of immigrants and prospective
immigrants, give the assurance that at every angle of their
investigation, they have uniformly found the HIAS at work
with helpful suggestion and necessary assistance.
We are told that not less than $80,000 sent by Detroit rela-
tives of sufferers in the war stricken and famine ridden dis-
tricts of Europe passed through the New York offices of the
HIAS. This alone is a sufficient reason for the establishment'
here of a permanent branch office of the society.
That the work of the society may go forward unimpeded,
it is necessary that it be generously supported by our people
throughout the country. Very shortly, it is proposed that a I
one-day campaign for funds for the IIIAS shall be staged in '
Detroit. We are fully aware that demands upon our people
for funds are coming rather thick and fast and from many
quarters. But we believe that no cause with a more just ap-
peal to their generosity can be set before them. Mr. Selling
and his committee therefore deserve the full co-operation of
the entire community. Surely they will receive it as thy proper

Palestine and the Non-Zionist.
The coming to Detroit this week of the eminent gentlemen
who constitute the World Zionist Delegation affords us the
opportunity of reiterating what has frequently been said in
these columns as to the attitude of the non-Zionist toward the
problem of Palestine. Primarily, let it be emphasized that this
is no time for controversy and strife within Israel. If ever
there was a time when Jews of all shades of religious opinion
should seek a common ground for co-operation and unity of,
