for the Jewish Theological Seminary. David A. Brown of De-
troit has been drafted to help raise this fund. Louis Marshall,
that humanitarian and philanthropist, has volunteered his
service in this undertaking.
What is this Million Dollar Fund It is a fund from which
an income of $50,000 will be derived so that a sufficient number
of men may be trained as specialists to impart to you and your
children the beauties of Jewish religion, history and literature.
And if these leaders and teachers are not trained and devel-
oped, Judaism in America will suffer grievously, for there are
too many attractions offered that will engage the attention of
the younger generation. If we do not bring to the young a
knowledge of Judaism we cannot expect that they will of their
own accord take up these studies. If we supply the country
with an efficient, scholarly group of rabbis, who will fire and
inspire, then it will be no difficult matter to kindle a spirit of
appreciation and understanding of our many treasures. But if
we do not make provision to train men for the rabbinate and
for teaching, we may assuredly expect a diminution of interest
among the adults as well as the future generation.
We cannot emphasize too strongly the need for raising this
fund with all possible speed. And notwithstanding the able
leadership of Rabbi Drob, Louis Marshall and David A. Brown,
nothing will be accomplished without the co-operation of a
united Jewry.
For our part, we would like to see the fund oversubscribed
many times. And we would like to see the list of subscribers
running into the hundreds of thousands, for in such a response

Where Are Our Leaders?

Watchman! What of the Night?

The burden of Dumah. Silence. What of the night?
I hear the Watchman crying through the dark.
When to the golden cover of Thine Ark
Thy Mercy seat wilt Thou, 0 God of Light
Return? How long will Thou Thy remnant smite,
And thresh the scattered corn upon Thy floor,
And winnow with Thy purging fan, before
That last least grain be garnered! Will Thy might
Destroy, nor spare? Lo, as a tale that is old,
Our days pass quickly, nor as yet the thorn
Yields to the fir. No more from us withhold
The Prince of Peace, that unto us is born;
Our bones, 0 Lord, are vexed, our eyes wax old
With longing for that Messianic morn.

JAMES MEW.

And in the crisis that exists—and
a crisis does exist, for we are being
betrayed even by our friends the Brit-
ish—where are our leaders? At the
recent World Congress held at Karla-
bad, a false issue was created. The
Jewish Agency was made a problem,
and the American delegation, coming
to the international conference by
swinging a club supposedly made of
gold, forced this issue upon the world
delegation. There are many who be-
lieve, and not without reason, that the
European delegates knew that it was
a false issue, yet they were forced to
submit to the influence of the Ameri-
can dollar, because the delegation
from the United States controlled the
finances. And so the Jewish Agency
plan was placed on the calendar to
the exclusion of other really impor-
tant problems. As if it were a ques-
tion of England building Palestine
for us! As if it is not generally es-
tablished that there is only one power
that can build the homeland! That
power is the Jew! And no agency
will attract the Jew unless the will
to build actually exists. There is
nothing in a name, and the mere pro-
posal of a new issue in the form of the
Jewish Agency can hardly bring
