With Swamp.

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
The Council of the League of Na-
tions, meeting in London, on Satur-
day last ratified the British Mandate
for I'alestine and thus put an end to
the last obstacle in the way of realiz-
ation of the Zionist political ideal.
The Herzlian dream fur a "publicly
legally assured homeland for the
Jewish people in Palestine" is now a
fact. The last stamp of approval has
been given us by the powers of the
world and nothing is in the way of
making Palestine Jewish, unless that
which can make it Jewish refuses to
become so. We refer, of course, to
the Jewish people. A contract has
been signed between two parties. The
nations of the world as part" of the
first part has made a bargain with
the Jewish people as party of the sec-
ond part. !'arty of the first part ap-
pears determined to live up to the
contract and follow out every clause
in. it. Will the praty of the second
part live up to its obligations, or
will it fail in the most critical mo-
ment in Jewish history? We have
faith in the honor of the Jews.

Phenomenal Successes.
The success of the Zionist move-
ment in the past 25 years is nothing
short of being miraculous. From a
fad and a dream it has become the
mint powerful movement among our
people. It has grown from strength
to strength until the flame of nation-
alist enthusiasm has caught practical-
ly every Jewish heart, The three
successes since the war are so great
that the extremist of dreamers would
not have dared dream of them as pos-
sible even five years ago. First came
the Balfour Declaration and the en-
dorsements of it by the leading world
powers. San Remo followed, with the
embodiment of the Ilalfuor Declara-
tion in the Turkish treaty and the
granting of the mandate for I'ales-
tine to Great Britain. The greatest
of all these successes is the action of
the Council of the League of Nations
on Saturday last. No better proof
is needed that the Zionist political
policy is safe and sound. After the
storm of opposition that broke out in
reactionary and anti-Semitic cricles
throughout the world against the
hopes of the Jews for Palestine, it is
gratifying to note that the policy of
the nations for a Jewish homeland
has not changed. Even opposition to
the mandate in certain Jewish circles
was not strong enough to overcome
the Jewish claim of an "historic con-
nection" with Palestine. There is
reason for rejoicing and our fellow
Jews never had better occasion for
wishing each other a hearty "Hazel

Was It News to Henry Ford?

"What will happen in Germany is not now known," declares
Henry Ford's International Weekly under the date of May 29,
1920. "Some regrettable things have already happened. But
the Germans will doubtless prove themselves equal to the situ-
ation by devising methods of control at once unobjectionable
and effective."

Here is an expression of confidence in German resourceful-
ness that must have tickled the vanity of the Junker and the
Royalist.
"Unobjectionable and effective," indeed! "Unobjection-
able" to Henry Ford. "Effective" in the opinion of those who
would paraphrase a popular quip by saying that "the only good
Jew is a dead one."

We are assured that "Gentile Germany" looks at the entire
tion in the same way that Russia dirt; that "Judaism is the
most closely organized power on earth, even more than the
British Empire;" that it has "wreaked its vengeance upon Ger-
many" and will now gO forth to conquer other nations.
Henry Ford, more than two years ago, prophesied the out-
break of violence which German Anti-Semites are now appar-
ently putting, into effect.

archists during the past two years?
Does he know of their plans?

it there is a picture and biography
of Frederick Gustav Kahn of Youngs-
town, Ohio, a grandson of Joseph
Kahn of Detroit.
It is of interest to Detroit Jews
to note that this biography is of a
very complimentary nature, and as a
commentary upon the recent Kaplan
episode at the Naval Academy, it is
pleasing to see that anti-Semitism is
not the rule at this great govern-
mental institution, but rather the ex-
ception.
Frederick G. Kahn made a brilliant
record as a student and there was no
hint of any discrimination against of
him because he was a Jew.

"Our Colleges and Our Jews."

Just as surely as love and its credit and gain are in the soul
of the lover, so hatred and its blame and loss are in the heart
of the hater.
When President Lowell of Harvard speaks sadly of "a rap-
idly growing anti-Semite feeling in this country," he makes him-
self too easily the fluent spokesman of that anti-Semitism.
To America and democracy, standing for essential qeuality
and human decency, not the Semite but the anti Semite consti-
tutes a national problem and a national menace.
At the worst, the Jew is—only a Jew. Like beauty and
truth, he is his own best excuse for his existence. His last per-
formance and his present average need no apology.
The Jew is self justified in his purposes and his practices. In
America and elsewhere, the best Jews, of course, are easily on

In the same breath, for generation

When friends betray, and love grows sour,
When men and women fail,
Peace comes within the hermit's bower;
The world of books I hail.

And when the printed page turns cold,
When soul departs from words,
My comrades rise in field and fold,

But when dark memory my spirit tries,
And opens wide my scars,
I lift mine eyes beyond the skies,
In union with the stars.
