DESCRIBES HATRED
OF JEW IN HUNGARY
Ludwig Lewisohn.
The announcement that Mr. Ludwig Lewisohn, the well
known author and translator, is to give several lectures in De-
troit during the coming week, will be received with gratifica-
tion by those who have read his books. It is questionable
whether there is any work translated from another language
into our vernacular that has been read so widely or that has
been enjoyed so thoroughly or that has called forth such inter-
ested discussion as Wasserman's "Christian Washnschaffe"
which Lewisohn has put into English under the title "The
World's Illusion."
He is an absolute master of English and he is at home in our
literature as few of our great scholars are. To read his books
constitutes a liberal education in literature. The book which
has caused widest comment, however, is his autobiography pub-
lished under the title "Up Stream." The book is one eminently
worth careful reading and study, for though autobiographical
in character, it is not merely a study of the forces that have
subtly worked upon the soul of the author, but it is essentially
a study of the soul of America. From some standpoints, we are
definitely inclined to the belief that Mr. Lewisohn has not
struck a proper keynote in his investigation. But it is not our
purpose in this brief article to review the book which in all
fairness, it must be said, possesses more than one element of
real greatness.
What interests us at the moment is to make clear that Mr.
Lewisohn finds the source of most of his life's disappointments
in the fact that he had sprung from the loins of Jewish parents.
The fact that he was a Jew by birth, Lewisohn holds largely
responsible for the fact that his whole life front boyhood
through young manhood and late maturity, represented a tre-
mendous struggle against almost unequalled odds. Still, when
one says that Mr. Lewisohn is the descendant of Jewish ances-
tors, he says all that Mr. Lewisohn himself would claim if we
read his book correctly, as to any sympathetic affiliation that
he has had with Jewish life. It is true that—always judging
from his book and not from any words that to our knowledge
he has spoken,—Mr. Lewisohn has outgrown all churches. But
the point is that before realizing their inadequacy to answer the
needs of his soul cravings, Mr. Lewisohn had given the churches
of Christianity, a fair trial. Indeed at one stage of his early
manhood, he had avowed himself a Christian and had accepted
Christ—to use his own words—as his personal saviour. So far
as we can read in his writings, however, he had never given
Judaism—the faith of his fathers—any sort of a trial at all.
One judges that Mr. Lewisohn has felt about Judaism much as
Heine did—that "it was not a religion but a misfortune."
All this, however. should not in any way minimize the
warmth of welcome that should be extended to Mr. Lewisohn
as a great scholar, clear cut writer, and a keen thinker. We
shall look forward to his coming to Detroit with much pleas-
ure.
The New Talmud Torah.
The new and splendid home of the Detroit Hebrew Schools
which has just been dedicated is a credit to the progressive
spirit of those through whose labor and whose love this great
edifice has been made possible. For those who would greatly
stress the importance of Hebrew education for their children—
and there is of course none of us who would undervalue it—the
new School will offer an opportunity that is perhaps unequal-
led anywhere.
But the new building will be more than a place for Hebrew
instruction. It will undoubtedly become a center for the social
life of the neighborhood and will thus fill a very pressing need
at this time. To all who in any way have contributed to the
upbullding of this great institution, we offer our hearty felici-
Cations upon the completion of a very splendid and important
piece of work.

without saying. As a rule their profits
are gotten under false pretenses.
While the greater portion of the
money goes for the entertainment
of their various memberships, these
societies deceive the people they cater
to because the latter expect the
profits to accomplish a certain good,
and the filling of already satisfied
stomachs is not such a healthy thing,
mentally or physically. It is there-
fore unfortunate that societies of this
type should waste their energies in
this manner, failing to grasp at some
ideal of general importance and
worth. If it were only possible for
the Keren Hayesod to interest these
young people in the work of rebuild-

accomplishment in itself in that these
young woul dbe attracted nearer to

The Proper Study of Mankind
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,
The proper study of mankind is man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the sceptic aide,
With too much weakness for the stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a God or beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such
Whether he thinks too little or too much;
Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;
Still by himself abused, or disabused;
Created lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled,
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world.
—ALEXANDER POPE.
The American Ilebrew, a New
York contemporary, is particularly ,
noted for tis venom when it speaks
of the Zionist movement. When it
does publish Zionist news, it tries to ,
disfigure and discolor it. Thus, in a
recent issue, the New York Jewish
weekly played un as the leading ar-
ticle of the week the attack on the
Ku Klux Klan that was made recently ' .
at . Hartford, Conn., by Samuel Un.
termyer, head of the Palestine
Foundation Fund in America. The
American Hebrew referred to the Ku
Klux as a "mediaeval eruption on our
civic life," quoting from Mr. Unter- !
myer. But what was perhaps the
most important and novel part of
Mr. Untermyer's address, wherein the
great lawyer offered the requilding
of Palestine as a practical answer to
the Klan by the Jewish people, was
entirely omitted by the Jewish paper.'
As a matter of fact, the very purpose
of the address was to show the ne-
cessity for the building of a home-
land for the Jew, and that very pur-
pose was killed by our contemporary.
We wonder if this isn't another "me-
diaeval eruption," c oming from ■
Jewish heart.
Committee's representative obtained
permission from the director of the
Reconstruction Department to loan
the Central bank $10,000 at 2', per
cent interest. This money WAS at
once loaned out to the subsidiary
banks so that they could continue do-
ing business until the confusion due
to the change of Lithuanian currency
would abate.
The loan of $10,000 made it possible
also, for the Central Bank to accept
the government's offer. Normal con-
ditions have thus been restored and
loans to small traders and manufac-
turers resumed.
