GIAS. JOSEP1÷ -
By Chg.. H. Joseph.)
(Copywright, 1921.
We live to learn. Out in Little Rock, Arkansas, some folks have
discovered things about the Jews and shout Jesus that I confess I never
knew. But inasmuch as the information is contained in the weekly
bulletin of the Young Women's Christian Association, its authenticity
surely cannot be questioned. One is astonished at the lack of under-
standing of Bible p ges by Gentile readers. They assume that there
is no need for interpretation of this classic and that it can be read
and understood by anyone who runs while he reads. While it is true
that more Christians proportionately read the Bible than Jews, yet
they fail somehow or other (I am talking now about the average man
and woman, not the higher critics) to grasp the inner meanings; they
believe it literally and they read it as they believe it, literally. Now
just read this amazing piece of ignorance that emanates, not front some
ignoramus, but from the Y. W. C. A. Sometimes I wonder if these
things are the result of not knowing or whether it is an intentional
effort to deceive.
a
"Christ had a deep love for His own ,• ersonal friends and
for His own people. They railed Him. Th, Jews wanted Christ
to be a conqueror. They tried to force I .m into the position
against Him and
of a king. When he would not they turn
said: 'Crucify Him.' Christ wanted the Jes a to serve the world
and they wanted the Jews should rule the world. When they
understood Him they did not want Him."
Now isn't this the purest sort of drivel? By just such methods
the followers of Jesus the Jew have been busy ever since his death
crucifying His brethren.
In the same mail that brought me that interesting bit of Bible
information came • pamphlet entitled the "Ku Klux Klan Exposed,"
also an Arkansas product. The author with unconscious humor says
that "This book has no cover, because it is hot enough without a
cover." The author claims to have been • member of the Klan and
credit
he is • Baptist minister, an at least we have a right to give him
for knowing something about this organization which has superimposed
itself upon the judicial branch of our government and has taken it
upon itself not alone to judge individuals but to punish them as well.
It is • surprise that with such a growing menace the right minded
citizenship of this country stands quietly by permitting such a danger
to grow.
•■■■--41 -. 1.0■4
Under the general heading of "Why Do Many Oppose the Ku Klux
Klan," Section 4 reads as follows:
"The Jews oppose the Ku Klux Klan because the Klan in-
tends to see that the Jews do not run this country. Against the
Jews as such the Klan has no tight. But when the Jews enter
a world-wide confederation and make it so strong that when
you strike one Jew you strike all of them and prefer this to
being just American citizens, then the Klan tells them where
to get off. They are taking notice."
It seams almost incredible that any group of normal minded men
could put out such tommyrot and believe it. Whether this is the be-
lief of all the Klansmen or whether such • thought concerning the
Jew belongs to Kansas, I am in no position to know. However, when
men issue statements such as these that have not the shadow of a
foundation and thus attempt to poison the mind of the nation against
the Jews, I am more convinced than ever of the irresponsibility of
such an organization.
You think the Klan is bad. Oh me, oh my. I have something that
is infinitely more stupid in its expressions. This is apparently a journal
called "The Patriotic American Patriot" and it is devoted to the in-
and welfare of "American Americms." The sentiment ex-
terest ■
p d on the letterhead is "Guided by the word of Almighty God,
Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, and Our Lord and Savior Jesus
rist ian
Christ and the Constitution of the United States." The Ch
editor is Charles M. Wood. He doesn't know • thing about religion;
he knows nothing of the teaching of the spirit of the Savior that he
insults when he asks those who receive his fanatical letter to "Vote
and work for the bill to disfranchise all but Christians." The editor
is too ignorant to know that Jesus the Jew would not be permitted to
vote under his ruling.
This letter was sent to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis and
Director G I of Mooseheart. The letter was add d to "Secre•
tary and Mrs. James J. Davis." Mr. Davis in turn sent the letter to •
friend, a Jew, with this comment: "The enclosed came to me and I
thought it might interest you. We know now why we should have a
fraternity like the Moose to break down these prejudices." So it
finally reached my hands. It is interesting insofar as it shows the
es of the human mind. One can fairly see in every line the
i
■ motley
which murderous crusaders are created. Every one has
emanations of • mind ob d with bigotry, the kind of • mind from
following.
Here is the bill the wooden Mr. Wood asks some people to assist
in passing. He who cries aloud for "American Americans" is living
. Read and pity such • benighted soul:
mentally in darkest Rossi ■
"Be it enacted by the Congress of our United States: That
on and after the passage of this bill, it will be unlawful for any
person or persons, male or female, white or colored, native or
foreign born, to hold any national, state or municipal govern-
ment office, either elective or appointive, for pay or otherwise;
or have any voting franchise whatsoever; or own any real
estate, or transact any business whatsoever; or own any bonds,
stocks, securities, mortgages, etc.; or to hold any meeting or
meetings, or service or services whatsoever, not consistent with
grace of God; or any teaching or teachings other than the
teachings of Jesus Christ; or enter our United States, who are
not firm believers in Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, and
His Son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Constitution
of the United States."
Poor Mr. Wood, some of his friends should look after him.

DINNER TO LODGE
BY KEREN HAYESOD
Prominent Jews Honor Senator
Who Introduced Resolution
in Favor of Homeland.
Henry Cabot Lodge, United States
Senator from Massachusetts, will be
the guest of honor at a dinner given
by the Keren Ilayesod, which will be
held at Ilotel Commodore, New York,
on June 13. The dinner will mark
the conclusion of the campaign of
, the l'alestine Foundation Fund in
New York City and will celebrate the
passage by the Senate of the Lodge
resolution favoring the establishment
of a Jewish homeland in Palestine
under the British mandate.
The dinner will be attended by
delegations from all parts of the
United States and the speakers, in
addition to Senator Lodge, will in-
clude many prominent Jews, among
them Nahum Sokolow, Dr. Alexander
Goldstein, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Sam-
, uel Untermyer and others. Reserva-
tions have already been made by
leading New York Jews, among them
Nathan Straus, Judge Alexander
Geismar and Congressmen Albert D.
Rossdale, Nathan D. I'earlman and
Isaac Siegel.
Nathan Straus has sent the fol-
lowing letter to the committee:
"I will surely attend the dinner on
June 13, as I welcome the opportun-
ity to testify by my presence to the
high esteem in which I hold Senator
' Lodge.
"Every good and sincere Jew can-
not fail but appreciate and feel the
deepest gratitude for the noble stand
that Senator Lodge and his associates
have taken.
"The Senate's adoption of the reso
lution favoring Palestine as the Jew-
ish Homeland will be one of the great
outstanding events in history. It will
inspire our people and lend new hope,
new courage to the oppressed of our
race."
Keren Ilayesod workers through-
out New York are redoubling their
efforts for the Lodge dinner, which
will mark the climax of the New
York campaign. Indications point to
the fact that they will be able to re-
port cash contributions of at least
$500,000 in advance of the dinner,
besides a much larger sum in pledges.
We hear much of Americanization tests to discover whether the

ROSENBERG TO ORGANIZE
ITALY-AMERICAN SOCIETY
BRANCH FOR DETROITERS
Louis James Rosenberg has been
requested to organize in this city a
branch of the Italy-America Society,
the headquarters of which were es-
tablished in New York under the di-
' rection of Charles E. Hughes, Secre-
tary of State, as the first president
of the society. The local branch,
hoWever, will not begin the work of
its organization until August, await-
ing the return of its general secre-
tary, Countess Irene DiRobilant,
from Italy. Mr. Hughes resigned
from the presidency when he was ap-
pointed Secretary of State in the
Harding cabinet. He was succeeded
by Paul D. Cravath of New York as
president and Thomas W. Lamont of
the Morgan banking firm as treas-
urer.
The purpose of the Italy-America
Society is to strengthen the relations
between the two countries educati on-
allyy and commercially.
Mr. Rosenberg Was the Michi gan
representative of the National Dant e
Committee, his work having received
favorable recognition in that direc-
tion, nationally as well as locally, the
president of the local Dante commit-
tee having presented to Mr. Rosen-
berg recently a silver medal in ap-
preciation of his services rendered
in connection with the promotion in
the United States of the recent na-
tional recognition of the six hun•
dredth anniversary of the death of
the great Italain poet.
