A Brief Summary.
Any resume of prospective develop-
ments in the position of the Jewish
people at home and abroad is open to
challenge.
It is al•xays easier to speculate up-
on the possibilities of the future than
to record the happenings of the past.
More than three. thousand years of
history testify to the faithfulness of
the Jew and his ideals.
If history repeats itself, we need
expect no radical change in Jewish
principle, philosophy or practice in the
year that lies ahead.

ROTHSCHILD BANK
BECOMES MUSEUM

Although no Rothschild is now in
the banking business in Frankfort-on-
the-Main, where the foundations of
the far-flung financial establishment
were laid in the eighteenth century,
the old hank building still stands on
the corner of the Fahrstrasse, near
the entrance to the old ghetto, as a
perpetual reminder of the past. The
following description of its present
state was written by :flax Osborn in
the Vossische Zeitung:

"The house was used fir the bank-
ing business from top to bottom until
the death of Baron Wilhelm Roths-
child in 19(11. Then it stood empty,
seas used during the war for chari-
table purposes and two years ago was
presented to the city by Baroness
Alathilde, Wilhelm's widow, the last
of the Frankfort Rothschilds.

"The soon (templed by the heads
of the firm and the manager remains
just as it was. At the window, two
beautiful writing desks, opposite to
each other, for the all-powerful ones
themselves, but—separated by green
screens! For the last ten Frankfort
kothschilds, Baron Wilhelm and his
brother, ;Player Karl, could not see
each other in a figurative sense, and
didn't care to do so in reality.

"Near by was the conference mini.
somewhat more elegant. In a corner
is the safe. It is not a piece of ar-
mored steel, but a decerative bit of
iron furniture, so pleasingly shaped,
with its plainly done Ran bands and
nails and stamps, as to make the ugli-
ness and shapelessness of its descen-
dants in the wide world doubly annoy-
ing. And this safe holds a secret. It
cannot lie opened! The nounc word
that sets the combination of eight let-
ters that decorate the keyhole has
been lost."

Relations between Jews and Arabs
will continue unsettled, efforts looking
toward amity being occasionally

enemy propaganda.
Encouraged by the new restrictive
immigration law in America, Euro-
pean countries of anti-Semitic tenden-

Although anti-Semitism may not ex-
press itself in pogroms, we may
look for it to assert itself by an in-
sidious campaign of social, political
and economic discrimination.
The agitation of the international
anti.Semites having passed its pre-'
liminary stages, we may expect new

Austria and Poland.
