valent and ingrown that the phases of the movement which are
actually important are either neglected or minimized.
To us the Council of Jewish Women has been distinctive and
worth-while because it has enabled its own members to do some-
thing for themselves. They have carried on intensive educa-
tional campaigns in the form of lecture courses where their own
members have heard the best speakers procurable in this coun-
try. Furthermore, through its democratic form of organization,
manay barriers of caste, class and religion have been broken
down. Perhaps the organizers and founders of the Council of
Jewish Women had these things in mind and were primarily
concerned about the self-improvement and mutual understand-
ing among its own members. If so they have failed to impress
this fact sufficiently.
We wish the Council of Jewish Women all the success such
an organization deserves, and we are quite confident that the
discussions on world problems will be considered with probably
more intelligence and understanding than displayed by any sim-
ilar organization of men, for despite "masculine superiority,"
we find modern women capable of saner, sounder and more
honest opinion on the great questions of peace, war, child labor,
international relations, and in short, on all the important prob-
lems.

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

At the very time that Israel Zang-
will was delivering his harrangue
against the 'Glenna leaders and the
British government, the London
Times published a significant editorial
statement to the effect that England
cannot break her promise for the es-
tablishment of the Jewish national
homeland. "If the Arabs refuse to
help, we must fulfill the undertaking
ourselves," says the Times. This is
a declaration by a leading organ of
British public opinion that is well
worth considering and when consid-
ered will be welcomed as it sign of a
determination on the part of the Brit-
.sh to live up to the promises made
our people. For a long time attempts
have been made to bring together
Jewish and Arab leaders for the
reaching of an understanding where-
by mutual activity be carried on in
Palestine for the benefit of all ele-
ments of the population of the Hole
Land. Obstacles were placed in the
way of such peaceful negotiations
not by the Jews but by the Arabs.
Now the Times declares that "it the
Arabs refuse to help, we must ful-
fill the undertaking ourselves."

Beth El Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of Temple Beth El was held on October
23. This was the second annual meeting held in the new tem-
ple. Samuel Ileavenrich a past president and a member of the
board of directors for 32 years could no doubt tell the remarka-
ble differences between this meeting and that of 32 years ago.
Then the temple was a place of worship only. Now it is a place
of worship, a community center, a center for social recreation,
a seat of learning and a place where one can build the body as
well as the mind and spirit.
While we enthusiastically exchange congratulations we
scarcely realized that the management of Temple Beth El, one
of the largest in the land, is a task that requires so much energy,
tact and understanding. Dr. Franklin and his assistant, Rabbi
Berkowitz, have brought to this tremendous task the necessary
energy, tact and understanding that has enabled them to carry
the work with such magnificent results. The spiritual needs
of the congregation have been ministered to with graciousness,
never has a member of the congregation in need of solace or
encouragement in his hour of need failed to receive it.
The spiritual leaders of Temple Beth El have been most
fortunate in the lay-leaders fo the congregation, for in Isaac
Goldberg, president of Temple Beth El for the last four years,
the congregation has had an energetic, devoted, hard-working
officer, who has always co-operated in every undertaking which
has made the temple a center from which light radiated in all
directions.
The retirement of Isaac Goldberg is a great loss. But Temple
Beth El is fortunate that it can replace one capable president
with another, and it chose Adolph Finsterwald, former vice-
president, as president for the ensuing year. He is not strange
to the duties, the obligations and the tasks of his office, for as
vice-president, he has carried a great share of the many burdens
imposed upon the officers of the temple. We are satisfied that
he will be a credit and will do justice to the high office which
he now holds.
The prospects for Temple Beth El were never brighter. And
the magnificent edifice, the creation of the genius of Albert
Kahn, will be put to more and more valuable uses as the years
pass.

THE OLD GERMANIC GODS

ON

The Call of the Ukraine.

The abysmal ignorance of most people concerning the
Ukraine is exemplified by the answer given on a questionnaire
at one of the •American universities. One of the students on
the general information tests, said that Ukraine was a musical
instrument, having in mind, no doubt, the ukelele.
On Sunday, September 16, at the Jews' College of London,
England, the third annual relief conference of the London Fed-
eration of Ukrainian Jews was held. At this conference,
speeches were made on behalf of the Jews of Ukrainia, Chief
Rabbi Hertz, reviewing the years 1919, 1920 and 1921, stated
that 150,000 Jews were killed by human fiends in the most
gruesome and devastating pogroms ever perpetrated. Dene-
kin's army perpetrated 140 pogroms upon a helpless, starved,
wretched Jewry, and the whole world, including western Jewry,
remained calloused and unconcerned. As a result of this un- i
paralleled bloodthirstiness, there are today in the Ukraine 300,-
000 Jewish pogrom orphans, without possibility of proper edu-
cation, without hope of proper nourishment, fit subjects for
prisons, asylums and charitable institutions.
It seems almost inconceivable that 29,000 crimes were com-
mitted by waifs under 13 years of age in the first half of the
current year. These are the fruits of war, pogrom, famine and
anti-Semitism. To ask aid for these victims is superfluous. The
mere mention of the conditions existing is sufficient to arouse the
sympathies and compel us to assist these helpless, demoralized,
despairing inhabitants of the Ukraine.
This immediate burden will be ours for many years to come,
until these children become self-supporting, and the adults are
economically rehabilitated, they must be fed and cared for. And
when we have done all this, the task remains still unfinished, for
with the constant threat of new wars, pogroms and violent out-
breaks of anti-Semitism, the danger is increased rather than di-
minished.
If it were possible to bring the Ukrainian sufferers to Amer-
ica, the situation would be immeasurably relieved. But with
our present immigration restrictions, and with the threat of
further restrictions, we are faced with a very discouraging pros-
pect. insofar as the Jews of Ukrainia are concerned.
With these facts before world Jewry, as merely one aspect
of the serious problems confronting us, who can rest peacefully? Je
We must give these problems much more thought than we have
in the past. We must come to the realization that the mere
giving of money will not rehabilitate, but at best will only re- m
lieve, and eventually pauperize. We in America cannot live in
isolation, for our co-religionists and brothers are everywhere,
and call to us to help solve their pressing problems. But we at co
no time can permit ourselves to forget that we can help them Co
when we are most efficient and when we attend to all our own , Ge
affairs and use our greatest intelligence in the solution of these has
e
problems.
The call heretofore has gone forth for money and more
money. But the call henceforth must be for work and thought, mil
uninterrnittent and uninterrupted, to the end that the Jews of
the Ukraine shall once again be self-sustaining and indepen-
dent, and not dependent upon alms from America. Future con-
ferences should not look to the perfecting of collecting agencies,
but should aim to create organizations that will enable our
brethren in that stricken land to stand on their own feet.

Council of Jewish Women,

The Council of Jewish Women will hold its triennial conven-
tion in the city of Saint Louis during the month of November.
They have invited Hon. Mrs. Ernest L. Franklin of London,
England, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the very well known
American suffragist, to address the convention.
The Council of Jewish Women was organized in 1894, and
has grown from a few hundred to over thirty thousand mem-
bers in less than 30 years.
In the publicity sent out by the Council of Jewish Women.
the philanthropic and charitable character of the organization
is especially stressed and emphasized. The work done among
immigrant women and the service rendered women in procur-
ing employment, seem to be among the important aspects of
their work. Upon this basis they appeal to the 600,000 Jewish
women in the United States to become members in their organ-
ization.
It strikes us that the habit of constantly parading the pro-
gram of doing something for somebody else has become so pre-

I waited fir that call—
And then into delightful heights
My soul it did enthrall.

My love was coming thru the night—
I heard a gentle sigh,
