the desired effect.

A nnouncement has been made of the withdrawal of the Jewish com-
mrnity of Kattowitz from the union of German Kehilloth, on the ground
the', Upper Silesia is now under Polish rule. A tendency to sever all affilia-
tions with Jewish organizations in Germany are becoming manifest in other
circela in Poland. The B'nai B'rith lodges of Warsaw and Lodz are con-
tem-lating the formation of separate lodges which, together with those in

Explaining the circumstances leading to the recall of Grant Smith,
special American representative to Ilungary, the Ujnemzedek, semi-official
government organ, declares that it was due to his having tolerated abuses' '
by the Hungarian authorities in the distribution of American relief intended
for workmen's children and Jews. Captain Padlow, head of the American
Red Cross in Hungary, states he repeatedly urged Mr. Smith's energetic
intervention because the authorities had neglected both children and Jews
in dispensing the relief.

Praise for the work of the People's Relief Committee in America, and
the spirit in which the funds are collected and administered, was heard at
the conference in Warsaw of 120 delegates of parents in 48 Polish towns,
whose children are receiving instruction in the Jewish elementary schools.
Sholom Asch, well known Jewish litterateur, was a guest at the conference.
He spoke on behalf of the American People's Relief Committee, declaring
the work of that committee was in no sense philanthropic, being an expres-
sion of an attempt to fulfil a duty towards one's brethren.

A great deal of discussion has been evoked in Pittsburgh and, it is said,
in liberal Judaism throughout the country, by the action of the pew owners
of the Rodef Sholom Temple of Pittsburgh in voting unanimously for the
permanent adoption of the unassigned pew system. Because of the im-
portance and influence of the Pittsburgh temple, its decision in connection
with the unassigned pew system has been watched with considerable interest
by the other reform congregations of the country, many of which are said
to be desirous of following the lead of the Pittsburgh congregation in this
matter.

The other section is composed of the
rich plutocratic Jew, who is the true
economic materialist. He is the per-
son whose views upon life mark one
anti-Semitic. Ile is the person whose
views upon life make one anti-Semi-
tic. He has no country, no kindred.
Whether as a sweater or financier, he
is an exploiter of everything he can
squeeze. He is behind every evil that
Governments do, and his political au-
thority, always exercised in the dark,
is greater than that of Parliamentary
majorities. Ile has the keenest of
brains and the bluntest of consciences.
He detests Zionism because it revives
the idealism of his race, and has poli-
tical implications which threaten his

crowds that gather to wail and pray
by the wall of the Temple as well as
the pogroms of Eastern Europe. The
Jew seeks a national home in Pales-
tine not only because he is denied a
home elsewhere,'but because Palestine
has always been calling to him from
his heart—and he must go.
It is important to note that the
Zionist movement has appealed with
great force to Jewish Socialists, who
have always been supposed to be the
most completely emancipated from all
influences but economic ones. The
Jew, uprooted from his home and the
surroundinsg which made his history
real to him, was supposed to have cast
behind him all that One network of
tradition and sentiment which some
pseudo-moderns ask us to believe to
he nothing but trammels. As a mat-
ter of fact, this economic materialism
has been the reaction of a people deep-
ly injured in its very soul—an unnat-
ural and unhealthy state of mind
which began to be changed so soon as
■ return to Palestine became possible.
Zionism has become the inspiration
of Jewish labor. It is opposed by the
two sections of Judaism with which
Socialism has least in common. The
Scribes and Pharisees, the people for
whom the Jewish religion is but • for-
malism, still survive in Judaism. They
detest and fear all innovation, and
have the blindness and the stiff-neck-
edness of the proud tribe of Judah at
its worse. They oppose. In Jerusa-
lem they do their best to dam up the
stream of the Zionist tribe of High
Priests and Sanhedrin. require no

In little hollows, as it were, Judaism
retains small groups of One idealists
of liberal thought and culture, and
some of these opose Zionisrn,, With
them my reflections have nothing to
do.

by the thoughts which came into my
mind when the life of Palestine, its,
story of old times and its movements
of today, entered into my own. In a
sentence, "materialist conceptions"
appear here in all the unscientific nak-
edness of the Mid-Victorian bourgeois I
individualist mind, yearning neverteh- I
to glorify the only god it could;
worship in safety to itself—profits
and property. Jerusalem is a rich
study in how circumstance and spirit,'
man and habitation, flowing together
in the energy of effort, form the cre-1
atm will of history.
