Gompers' achievements as one of the

he, too, has come to frown upon the
foreigners who would come to this

a staunch believer in the principle of

fact that he came from England,
where his father was not born.

A Matter of Headquarters.
ORD has just come from Chi-
cago that at the special coun-
cil held by the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations David A.
Brown was given the mandate for
bringing about a happy financial con-
dition for Reform Judaism.
In line with the other activities
which Mr. Brown has undertaken,
this new job suggests that in order to
effect the highest efficiency in Ameri-
can Jewish work the national organiz-
ations which have appended them-
selves to Mr. Brown establish a joint
main office in Detroit and convert
their present headquarters i to offices
for receiving mail, should some per-
son forget that the hub of American
Jewish enterprise is not in New York
or Chicago or Cincinnati but in De-
troit. It might be well for Mr. Brown
himself to have this arrangement
made, for instead of having to travel
up and down the country he could
direct activities from the home office,
even as Marshal Foch and General
Haig did when they had rather large
things to do.

Will Dewey Do It?
ADAME LENIN, in inviting Pro-
fessor John Dewey of Columbia
University to come to Russia to re-
organize the Soviet school system,
should be commended. Although
Professor Dewey is the most ad-
vanced thinker in America on educa-
tional problems, he surely does not
sanction the silly attempts to crush
the spirit of religion in Russia's peo-
ples. If Dewey does take hold of
Russia's scatter-brained elementary
school system, he will no doubt give
it• a start in the direction of sanity.
While Dewey's views on education
seem to some Americans strangely
radical, they are nevertheless in-
formed with beauty and cultural
values that make for the sweetness
and light that Matthew Arnold no elo-
quently urges.

The All Father's Word
When ransomed Israel saw the returning sea
O'erwhelm the vast array of Pharoah's pride,
And raised exultant hymn above the tide :—
"Lord God eternal who is like to Thee,
Awful in praises, working wondrously!"
God silent bode; but when His angels vied
With men in choir antiphonal, and cried :—
"His outstretched arm hath set His children free!
And heaven like earth rocked with tumultuous so:
thr on
God spoke rebuking; and the shamed, mute
Awe-swept and trembling, glimpsed a vision new
Of Love and Pity Infinite, as they heard
The fathomless sorrow of the All Father's word:
"Peace. They that perish are My children too."
