appeals to humanity and decency. The much despised
negro became so valuable and of such consequence that
many of the southern legislatures passed acts making
it a crime to entice negroes from the south, but even
these drastic measures had very little effect when
opposed to the fundamental laws of economic neces-
sity. The net result of all this has been a marked im-
provement in the position of the negro and an increased
respect for his rights as a human being.
To us all this benefit and advantage which has ac-
crued to the negro is very significant as well as hearten-
ing. It means that all the claptrap about negro in-
feriority, indolence and inefficiency is only so much
dust raised to treat the negro abominably. As soon as
he is needed the whole attitude is changed, and in
place of condemnation he is approved, instead of con-
tumely he finds respect.
May we not hope that the next six months of 1924
will show an improvement over the first six months.
If the negro becomes of greater value in the south and
attains to a position of economic equality our hope will
be realized. We do not destroy that which we need
except in a frenzy of hatred or maudlin drunkenness,
and even in those states the level-headed ones are able
to restrain the irresponsible elements. For the sake of
the whole community as well as for the negro we trust
that he may become increasingly indispensable, while
simultaneously growing in intelligence and making
cultural advances which will place him on a plane of
equality with his white brothers.
This meaningful change has a peculiar interest for
us and brings to our minds very forcibly the fine analy-
sis; made of anti-Semitism in Russia and Poland by the
leaders of the Ort movement. They have always in-
sisted that the Jew suffered less from pogroms and dis-
crimination in those periods when he became indis-
pensable and valuable in Russian and Polish economic
life.
Exactly ten years after the commencement of the
great war the signs of reasonableness are multiplying
on every hand and encourage the belief that a finer
spirit of humanity and equality will dominate all the
people of the world. Not the least of these favorable
signs is the remarkable decrease of lynching in the
south.

Beating Swords Into Plowshares
By ABRAHAM CAPLAN
Tragedy.
11E report that Hans Herzl, the
son of Theodor Herz], has em-
braced Christianity will, if substanti-
ated, cause greater sorrow among
Jews than the circumstance justifies.
Men do not permit themselves to ra-
tionalize when their pride is wounded
and their emotions are wrought up.
Jews who have identified with the
movement begun by tiers! the expres-
sion of their pent-up longings in the
realm of political and religious hope
will be struck with little less than
horror. They will draw conclusions
which the facts in the situation prob-
ably will not sustain. Although there
may be as little relation between
Herzl's historic work and the con-
version of his son as there is between
the most fortuitous of occurrences,
consternation will seize the Jewish
people. The tragedy lies in the fact
that it is the son of Ilerzl—Herzl who
had already taken his place in the
pantheon of Jewish greatness—who
leaves his people in the most inglori-
ous of ways. Whereas Theodor Herz',
after passing his early manhood in
pathetic uncertainty, in so far as
Jewish consciousness was concerned,
resurrected himself into moral emi-
nence, his son seeks refuge into a
selfish medievalism which, if we are
charitable, we must attribute to men-
tal deformity. Enemies of Zionism
will rise to draw unfair conclusions
and even stray banner-bearers may
feel a sudden weakening in their erst-
while vigorous arms.
It is not pleasant to contemplate a
Christian Herzl, a man bearing a his-
toric name slinking into the covert
of renegades and perhaps into the
assembly of Jewish enemies. And,
if it be true that Hans Herzlhas sub-
mitted to the cajolings of a priest
who himself was once a Jew, the
tragedy will be accentuated. For
has it not been said by Christians in
Europe that a Jew must be despised
even though he embrace the duties
of the church?
Let us not quibble about our
shame. King Hezekiah begot a son,
Menasseh. But, an the legend goes,
the righteous Ilezekiah foresaw his
despicable son, • whereas Theodor
Ileral seemingly did pot.
T
If there is anything that has been
proven by events to be indisputable it
is the fact that war, with magnificent-
ly rare exceptions, is not only cruel,
vicious and wrong but stupid and re-
sultless—in a lasting sense—both to
the defeated and the victorious na-
tions. From the standpoint of ulti-
mate values—of progress, morals, cul-
ture and adjustment — wars con-
tribute nothing that cannot be at-
tained through the ordinary decent
methods of nations at peace with one
another. People who see in wars
beneficent catastrophes, a strange
super-morality, a maneuver of man
that is pleasing to the god of the lov-
ers of war, will not take into account
the gigantic personal, national, moral
and social losses that have been sus-
tained as a result of the recent Eu-
ropean blood letting. They behold
the putative glamor of war, even as
children, playing in their gardens the
game of Indian with tomahawk in
hand or visioning the sweets of pir-
acy on ocean waters, conceive the de-
lights of sweeping destruction.
But it is inconceivable that, in a
time when peace is a thin small voice
difficultly heard above the clamor for
more war, a rabbi should raise his
voice—and not a thin small voice, at
that—to champion the movement to
display the strong right arm of the
American people, so that all may see
and be astounded. Rabbi Morris S.
Lazaron, ton, has seen the vivid
things behind the lines of an army—
in the camps of the erstwhile army of
the American republic sharpening the
weapons of war—and has ben caught
in the fascinating net. The language
which he used in stating his dissent
from the significant movement to dis-
courage the so-called defense test in
September is altogether familiar,
though- not powerfully in consonance
with the usual verbiage of religious
leaders who think they have a mes-
sage for the world every time they
speak.
Were Rabbi Lazaron an assistant
secretary of war rather than the
leader of a congregation, his flourish-
ing advocacy of a general demonstra-
tion of Arnericit's resources—in men,
money and materials—would be logi-
cal. But that he should assume the
role of defense attorney for the War
Department, particularly after serv-
ing on the resolutions committee of
the Central Conference of American
Rabbis and urging the outlawry of
war and all its works, is painful to
contemplate. The peace resolution

minimized American influences in this characteristic
vein: "The talk about American brains, American
money and American importance discourages European
Jews, killing their self-reliance and lessening the scope
of Zionist activity in Europe. It would be a mistake
for the Zionist Organization to place all hope for the
rebuilding of Palestine in America."
How Agency participation in the rebuilding of
Palestine will kill the self-reliance and lessen the scope
of activity in Europe is not at all clear to us. Even if
all the plans for the Agency matured and were real-
ized, how would this militate against the continued
activity of European Zionists and kill their self-re-
liance? Will a developing and growing Palestine,
aided by non-Zionist participation, kill the activities
of European Zionists or will it hearten them and make
them more enthusiastic? Will a struggling, straggling
Palestine encourage those who are interested in up-
building Palestine more than a healthy, flourishing

When enlightened men and women
in all walks of life and teachers of
religion in all denominations unite to
put a stop to the grandiose gestures
that are accompanied by the clang of
steel, it is an unheard-of thing for a
rabbi to espouse the plans of the War
Department of the most advanced of
republics. Rather than elaborating
upon contingencies that call for the
shedding of blood and the waste of
the handiwork of men, it is becoming
that a rabbi should point to the con-
ditions vital for peace and to the in-
sistence of peace as an ideal in hu-
man life — in the smallest communi-
ties as well as the largest. The de-
struction wrought by war—the de-
struction of basic moral, spiritual and
intellectual values—is the common
concern of mankind and has neither
an American nor a German point of
view, neither a French nor a Russian
nor a Japanese aspect that has not a
vital bearing on the rest of the world.
The will to peace is an art that the
whole world is seeking to acquire,
though with labored clumsiness. It
should be the preoccupation of all
peoples—of America, surely. If our
example is shown by means of de-
fense tests, need we expect that other
nations will meekly follow with bland
programs of disarmament and ges-
tures of innocent peace?
Fortunately for the American rab-
binate, the views of Rabbi Lazaron
are shared by few, if any, in the
Jewish clergy. Rabbis can do no bet-
ter than to maintain that to 'beat
swords into plowshares and spears
into pruning-hooks" is the safe thing,
and the wise thing, for the world.

Superficially, sonic of the things
Rabbi Lamson said in advocacy of
the war maneuver—and, however re-
garded, the defense test is only a
demonstration of what the United
States can do in time of war — have
a certain correctness that cannot be
gainsaid. But the idea that nations
must arm to the teeth in order to
forestall the aggression of other na.
tions has been advanced since the be-
ginning of time and has not solved
the problem of war or allayed the
savage conditions that are begotten
of war. To compare the preparation
for war to the acquisition of a gun
to prepare oneself against highway-
men is fair rhetoric but poor and
mischievous philosophy. As a teacher
in Israel, Rabbi Lazaron had an op-
portunity to view the situation from
the standpoint of the Jewish tradi-
tional love for peace but succumbed
to a shallow verbal plausibility which
makes war inevitable and peace a
wild phantasy. The conditions which
Rabbi Lazaron conjured up and urged
as justification for preparing for war
virtually do not exist. Even if they
were to exist, he could not, as a rabbi
speaking the language of the Proph-
ets, do aught but declaim against
those deeds and attitudes and selfish
moves, both on the part of America
and of other nations, that reap the
harrowing harvest of war.
Negotiations carried on by Joseph
S. Kornfeld, American minister to
Persia, in the course of diplomatic
exchanges between the United States
and Persia over the Imbrie affair, re-
call the minister's efforts upon his
reaching Persia in intervening against
the anti-Jewish riots in that country
at that time. In a letter to the Union
of American Hebrew Congregations,
written in 1922, the president of the
Central Zionist Organization of
Persia gives a detailed account of a
pogrom and of the intercession by
Minister Kornfeld. As a token of es-
teem, the Zionist Congress, then in
session, presented the minister with
a silver plate bearing the Ten Com-
mandments, surmounted with a gold-
en crown with the legend, The
Crown of,a Good Name.'
The letter, which is in the posses-
sion of the Union of American He-
brew Congregations, reads as fol-
lows:
"During the first quarter of 1922,
anti-Semitic (or rather anti-minor-
ity) feeling began to increase in
Persia, and once in a while the Jews
of the different provinces were perse-
cuted. For instance, they had to
wear a special kind of hat. In the
month of Nissan a committee was or-
ganized in Teheran, called 'Nedaye
Islam,' composed of Mohammedan
Mullahs and anti-Jews, who aroused
the non-educated Persians to perse-
cute the Jews. They beat many Jews
and rushed to the Jewish quarter with
the intention of murdering its in-
habitants and plundering their shops
and houses, but were stopped by the
police. The government, how-ever,
had promised to take into considera-
tion the requests of the committee.
The committee had decided upon 12
restrictions and insisted that the gov-
erninent should make the Jews abide
by them. The matter was taken up
by the cabinet, the ministry of in-
terior and the House of Constitutions,
and, although the committee urged
.
and pressed the matter, the gosern-
meat put them off for days and
weeks. Meanwhile the anti-Jewish
feeling appeared to have died down;
everything seemed quiet again.
"One unhappy Wednesday-27 El-
la', 5682—a large body of Moham-
medans rushed to the Jewish quarter
with swords and other arms, wounded
a number of Jews and broke into
many houses, showing no pity es-en
to women and children. Not only in
the Jewish quarter, but throughout

the whole city, wherever a Jew was
seen, he was unmercifully beaten and
dragged through the streets like a
captive. The government, being
asked to intercede, sent only a few
policemen, some of whom watched
the persecution without interfering,
whjle the others joined the rioters.
Next day the affair took on an even
more serious aspect; an actual po-
grom was taking place. Armed lo-
hammedans barred un all roads lead-
ing, out of the Jewish quarter and
waited for the order of their leading
Mullah to slaughter the Jews, who
were announced to be worse than
dogs, and to plunder their property.
What could the Jew, do? Where
could they look for mercy? There
was not a single protector. They at
last appealed to the representative of
the country which had often helped
small nations, to Dr. Joseph S. Korn-
feld, the American minister, two of
whose ylunshis were also severely
beaten. The matter needed imme-
diate and serious attention; a few
minutes' delay would have been fatal,
because from the capital it would
have rapidly spread to the provinces.
"He was aware of the pernicious
results of the riot and realized that
he could not bear to be a mere sight-
seer; he decided to try to stop it im-
mediately, and finding no carriage in
which to ride to the city, he walked
a distance of over six miles, and,
thanks to God, he had influence
enough with the government to stop
the riot instantly.
"Blessed is the country that pro-
duced such a benevolent gentleman
and exalted is the government that
has such a merciful representative.
"Armed troops were stationed all
around and through the Jewish quar-
