British and American Elections.

In Great Britain 1 I JCWS were returned to Parlia-
ment and in the United States eight Jews were return-
ed to Congress. \\'e arc not at all flattered by the re-
turns, since we have eight times as many Jews as Great
Britain. Another significant feature of the election,
especially in Britain, was the fact that Jewish candi-
dates were defeated in preponderatingly Jewish dis-
tricts. The Britisher votes on issues, policies, princi-
ples and not for men who belong to a certain faith or
have a certain creed. This, however, is not the whole
story. The Jews in Britain have become integrated,
though not assimilated. They are Britishers whose
Jewishness is not thereby thinned or rubbed out.
\Ve do hear occasionally of Hilaire Belloc, of Gilbert
Chesterton, or the Morning Post and sonic other anti-
Semitic propagandists, but in the whole election cam-
paign we did not hear of any special appeals made on
behalf of bigotry, intolerance or anti-Semitism. Eng-
land has not an organization like our Ku Klux Klan.
Although it would not be in strict truth to say that
they are entirely free from anti-Semitism, that Nordic
Protestant country is too sound to Make an important
issue of such humbuggery and clownishness as the
Klan.
Imagine how odd and quixotic it would strike us
if we read of Sussex or Kent or ally other division of
England being Klan or anti-Klan. Fancy opposition to
Sir Alfred Mond by the Kleagles and Dragons of Lon-
don on the ground that he is a Jew. The whole business
does seem preposterous and yet the Britisher of today
is of the same stock, has the same traditions, language
and background as our meddlesome, benighted Dragon
or Kleagle. The two great Anglo-Saxon peoples show
great cultural differences.
•
Is it not possible that the constant blatant cry of
superiority of our American Nordic is based upon a
sub-conscious feeling of inferiority? Is it not possible
that all these activities and manifestations which insist
upon adherence and conformity with the Nordic ideal
arc evidences of a sub-conscious feeling of ineptness
and weakness?
\Ve offer these suggestions not as a complete ex-
planation, but we are persuaded that a group as ignor-
ant and illiterate as the Klan must have some misgiv-
ings as to its worthiness. To return to the elections ill
the sister countries of Anglo-Saxon cultures. The fact
that 1.1 Jew's were elected is not as meaningful as the
fact that -I I were candidates. We have not the figures
for the United States, but we dare say that not more
than 15 were candidates. This indicates that the Jew
was not acceptable to the leaders any more than to the
electorate in this country, while just the opposite con-
dition obtained in Britain. Although we place much
blame upon the spirit which has been fomented in Am-
erica against alien groups, we are not unmindful of the
fact that the Ghetto still clings tenaciously to the Jew
in America. our people will gradually lose their Ghet-
to ghosts. The inter-racial, inter-group animosities will
gradually, though slowly, disappear among the ele-
ments which go to make America and men will be chos-
en for fitness, worth and as representing issues, policies
and principles of social and economic impOrt.
we are not
As the matter stands in the year 1921
especially pleased with the election of eight Jewish
Congressmen, for that is no achievement when com-
pared with the 11 members of Parliament returned by
our Anglo-Saxon neighbors across the sea.
Even though we are not jubilant, we are not hope-
less, for we have the firm conviction that out of all the
searching shall come a finer, a sounder, understanding
of our own shortcomings and weaknesses. once they
are properly evaluated and after they sink deep into
our consciousness we shall be able to correct these dis-
proportions and maladjustments.

Religious Unity.

The Church of England. Unitarians, Quakers.
Congregationalists. Presbyterians. \Vesleyans and Jews
were represented at a conference held recently in Lon-
don. The conference was held for the purpose of
achieving unity among, the religious groups in Great
Britain. Even though their aims may not be attained
and their purposes achieved, such gatherings hold forth
a promise of understanding which cannot but have a
salutary influence upon British life.

Nothing has been more prolific as a hate producer
than lack of knowledge of the other man's beliefs and
point of view. The mere fact that one is ready to listen
to the other man's position indicates It broad tolerance
which makes possible the removal of prejudice and bit-

terness.
\Ve are not informed as to the outcome of the con-
versations and discussions. but from this distance we
feel certain that. although agreements were reached in
certain vital matters, in fundamentals a complete rap-
prochement is quite unlikely, that is, unless the view of
some of the denominations mentioned have changed
very radically. If all the representatives were Modern-
ists, or had subscribed substantially to the Unitarian
creed, then indeed wou'd a unity conference be preg-
nant with possibilities of excellent results. But the
Church of England and the Presbyterian Church. al-
though not Fundamentalist to the core as are the Fund-
amentalists of America, according to the Reverend
Harry Emerson Fosdick, have not all embraced the
Modernist position.
As Jews we certainly can have no serious quarrel
with these Modernists and Unitarians who hold Jesus
of Nazareth in great reverence and who accept the
monotheistic view of Judaism. The life of Jesus, freed
of the fable and the miraculous. is a life of great beauty

iSgra"?eZt.sZ274err,:t.5 - r 4v

and heroism and Jews will at all times reverence the
heroic and praise the beautiful. As Jews we could never
accept the myths and miracles in the life of Jesus and
his claim of divine origin and immaculate conception
was beyond Jewish credulity. Today the :Modernists
and Unitarians take a decidedly Jewish position. which
makes it possible for us to join hands tvith them in any
movement which will bring good-will. tolerance and
happiness to humanity.

:Modernists have only confirmed the position %Odell
Judaism has maintained for 1900 years, and this is not
said in the spirit of arrogance or with it view of show-
ing cur : upreine knowledge.
The London conference is at straw in the wind which
bodes well for the religious unity of the western world.
Such a unity will be a real achievement of the peoples
of western etvilization. Indeed, it will exert au influ-
ence upon many of the social and economic problems
which are sorely trying this same people.

A Most Wonderful People.

During the hysterical period of the war some of us
learned to appreciate the genius of the German people.
It was not the intention of the propaganda agencies to
create such an impression, but who could escape the
conviction that a people Who were capable of amazing
exploits and well-nigh impossible accomplishments
were other than extraordinary. The ramifications of
their influence and activity extended to the remotest
parts of the world. They wielded a magical, uncanny
power where it was least expected. This supernal na-
tion had its day in the sun, its glory was evanescent,
and now it is once more iust an ordinary, respectable
member of the family of nations. Certain German-
ophiles must regret the transient splendor, for it is an
ineffable joy to know that one is omnipotent and omnis-
cient. This great distinction, however. has been con-
ferred upon Israel, not for a season, but for generations.
If we would be modest, DUE active enemy propagandists
load us with such powers and capacities that, despite
ourselves, wemust recognize our own inexplicable
genius.
Heretofore we had been informed by competent and
reliable authorities that we controlled the destinies of
Russia, that our fateful influence determinedthe policy
of Germany, Austria. Hungary, Poland and that in Rou-
mania the unseen hand of Israel played a not unim-
portant role. ' We have been flattered and edified by
these panegyrics, for what insignificant minority has
ever done such miraculous things or exercised such an
influence, whether it be for good or ill? But the peak
of our greatness has been revealed to us in a book by
one Nesta Webster entitled "The Real Jewish Peril."
Now aye know why the Conservative government fell
in Britain some nine months ago. Read her precious
tvisdoni:

'the causes of the recent debacle of the Conservative
government are still obscure; but the fact remains that it
was precisely at a moment when the Conservative organiz-
ation had passed largely into Jewish hands that Conserva-
tism met with the most astounding disaster in the whole of
its history.

Now. there you have the whole story. The secret
is out. \\Ito could fail to be convinced upon such in-
disputable testimony of such a creditable and well in-
formed witness as Nesta Webster? What Jews got
control of the Conservative organization? Such a trif-
ling matter is of no consequence. And we must con-
clude that, since the Conservative government is again
in power with a clear majority of 2(11), it has passed out
of Jewish hands and into the hands of Hilaire Belloc,
the Morning Post and the intimates of Nesta Webster.
But do not think that our appalling, though sinis-
ter. influence ends with the domination of the Conser-
vative party. Not so, for The Patriot, commenting up-
on the delectable morsel of Nesta Webster. has this to
say:

The selection of the first Jewish secretary of state for
India led quickly to disorders on a scale previously un-
known; to a greater loss of life than had occurred in all
the previous years since the great mutiny and to a situa-
tion now beginning to be realized fraught with a great
danger to the Indian people and to the empire.

No doubt Mahatma Gandhi and the non-violent.
non-co-operation movement in India was precipitated
by the appointment of a Jewish secretary for India. It
is really a pity that one of these bedlamites cannot con-
nect the Japanese earthquake with the appointment
of some Jew to it judges h ip.
The twaddle of Nesta Webster is printed and pub-
lished; these infantile stupidities are seriously com-
mented upon. This gossip and slander forms the
groundtvork upon which a whole anti-Semitic structure
is built. The gullible and feeble-witted ones accept all
this as gospel.
Nesta Webster, The Patriot and the Dearborn In-
dependent must have their daily feast of hatred, even
though they make of us the most remarkable minority
in the whole history of civilization.

Pay your dollar and become h private, pay a hun-
dred dollars and become a captain, in the Anti-Satan
Federation, it new league of Gentiles organized by none
other than the impecunious Czarist General, Count
Artemi Ivan Chenys Spiridovick. The general is am-
bitious as well as perspicacious, he sees a fortune for
himself in a membership of 200.000.000. Yet we can
hardly blame hint if he chooses to earn an honest penny
by appealing to the gullible rather than do the menial
work which has been the lot of a host of his former
comrades in arms. It is not surprising that the general
is one of the most ardent propagandists for Grand Duke
Cyril. self-appointed Czar of All the Russian.

The cat is out of the bag. The Klan proposes to in-
stitute a nation wide economic boycott against Jews
and Catholics. Frankly. this is a welcome bit of news
and interesting. if true. No longer is the (inter moti-
vated by that high courage of the martyr and crusader.
The leaders no longer conceal the real purposes of
r•dsoint- hoodlumism. It is really a heavy task to fight
the imponderables represented by the shining sword of
ideals when protected by the burnished shield of pur-
ity. The field of economics with its commodities,
prices, values and all those tangibles grasped by every-
one simplifies the whole matter. Even a Nordic Protes-
tant will hardly gird his loins and buckle the shining
armour of 100 per cent Americanism to enrich another
Klan member whose wares are inferior and whose
prices are extortionate. Beware of the crusader who
fights in the cause of hate.

gesting that his people bentowed on

lovely gift, the moral law. the funda-
ment of orreial jlistirr 111141 the prin-

But while the Greek genius, stately
as it i s, symbolizes, like the urn on
which John Keats lavished an ex-
quisite
a long stilled fertility
and power, the Jewish genius is ac-
tive today in a thousand and one
realms, despite the livid flames that
have been reared about the several

And what is
more. the Jewish will to express it-
self, discerdant as its manifestations
!nay neenl, reveals an urge toward
beauty which should blossom forth,
in the coliner days that will come,
into an art of great nobility and
literature that will exude the fresh-
ness of water springs. Where?
In the land whence all that is en-
during 81111 significant in the Jewisit
capacity was brought into form. Pal-
estine, by virtue of its very poverty,
its very primitive circumstances. its
very newness, has called to itself the
adventurous of spirit among the ,Iews
of tumble-down Europe and is giving
them the materials that may be fash-
ioned into distinctive art forms, mu-
sic of unmistakable motifs, litera-
ture that will quicken the soul and
social and spiritual torinulae that will

crudely and often malignantly ex-
pressed, of the werld's peoples for
simplicity, for righteousness, for
peaceful conditions, for realization in
the larger sense.
We sat inthe living room of a suc-
cessful man of affairs. an art lover.
There were many things he could
show us which would testify to his
cultural interests. But the thing
which he seemed to prize with a truly
vivid pleasure teas a book which had
just tionte into his possession. an il-
lustrated interpretation of King Solo-
mon's "'flu' Song o f Songs," done in
unforgettable color and design by an
artist the scene of whew labors is the
Ilezilli.1 School of Arts and Crafts in
.lent Mem.
The artist? You may never have
heard his name. But what passion and
integrity that book of hand-wrought
text and brilliant, subtle. eager and
withal sombre interplay of color and
design contained within its stately
covers. The creative spirit was as
manifest in that book as it is in the
rhythmic swing and clang of the picks
and shovels of the pioneers or in the
song of the children who :try utter-
ing forth a new folk leer and new
melodic forms.

us have supreme faith in our-
1 • selves. Let us look upon our-
selves as though we really were what
\ye should like our neighbors to re-
gard us. For example, it is supreme-
ly satisfying to be known as a cul-
tured man or woman. IM not people
like to bask in the light of him who
pos•sses what is good in literature
and the essential in history, who ap-
preciates music intelligently, who has
a working acquaintance with the fun-
damentals in science, who can dif-
ferentiate a work of art of the Re-
naissance period from a painting of
Monet or Whistler?
But, you will ask. what shall they
do who cannot display the aforesaid
accomplishments? To these a word
of comfort may be sp o ken. The sug-
gestion for the cheering word was re-
ceived an we read an item in a Yiai.
dish paper recently.
A lecturer of distinction had come
to town. A series ,,f lectures were
arranged for hint and an appeal to the
"intelligenzia" of the city- was broad-
rant. Thus was the appeal wonted:
"You. the intelligent men and women.
to whom the wisdom of Professor
Thus-and-So should make a strong
appeal, should not fail to attend the
lectures at the Culture Lovers' Hall
arranged by the Society for the Pro-
motion of Scientific and Artistic
Knowledge."
What more facile formula could
he devised than the one to which the
aforesaid announcement gives rise.
Go to the Culture Lovers' Hall meet-
ings, ye who would esteem yourself
of the intelligenzia, listen to what
transpires and be wise.

cultural value of the Jewish race w'll
no longer need to be asked.
The sad aspect of this situation i
the thorough estrangement of the
upper stratum of this people. which
U1/011 reaching the intellectaal and
social level of its environment is
skimmed off, leaving a culturally de-
pleted nmss. TIT average of intel-
ligence found in each of the four re-
ligious classes as grouped by RunMn

first class, loaa 51 in culture. is un-
influenced by the conflict between a
static religion and a dynamic environ-
ment, whereas the fourth class, high-
est in western culture, is assimilated.
The preceding exposit inn points to
the cottelusitin that the imrmat and
effective functioning of the Jewish
people. as indeed, if any People, is
conditioned by a free and untratm
nieled national life, since, failing that
condition, the energies of the race
will be expended in the mere effort
nf self-nreservation. Under diaspor-
ic conditions, the energies of the race
will he expended in the mere effort
of self-preservation. Under diasonric
conditions. however. it is clear that
the task of preserving the undoubted-
ly valuable race-potentialities of the
people and of securing the conditions
fur their healthy expression devolves
upon the cultured Jew. The assump-
tion of that task necessitates the ac-
live identifiention on the part of the
cultured Jew with his pimp le as It
whole, a condition which is becom-
ing increasingly infrequent. And
here one is confronted by the initial
question: How shall Jews bring into
adjustment mndern toilture and the
conditions of modern Jewish life? Or
is it that Jewish life is exhausted, does
it stand Powerless before the gritat
crisis? Can Jews be men of science
and of affairs. or mu-I such relin-
quish their religion?
A cosmeg.ny, utterly at variance
with the Biblical deserintion, a nal-
iteentoloby that contradicts the Gen-
e account, a world of immutable
law in which the miracles are not
the violations, but the regular mani-
festations of infinitesimal and infin-
ite forces, an anthropology which
shows the taboo of certain foods
14111011/2 most early tribes, a compara-
tive religion which shows ethical
codes similar to and antedating the
Sinaitic revelation—will Judaism re-
juvenate itself in the face of these
attacks as Rabbinism has done under
other conditions?
As if by the hand of some master
scientist, a test portion of Israel has
been isolated to attempt this problem.
