The Young Men's Hebrew Association of Detroit
begins a membership drive on July 1. By this time all
the fund drives for local as well as European and Pal-
estine relief will have come to a successful close.
The men who are at present organized into the
Young Men's Hebrew Association will prove by the suc-
cess of their effort whether they are really in earnest
about building an organization which should enlist the
support of the communal leaders. A permanent or-
ganization for Jewish social work is now a fact. It
came into being during the recent United Jewish Cam-
paign with Samuel Summerfield as its head. The pur-
pose of this newly created movement goes beyond ac-
tivities for relief. Within its purview come such capi-
tal enterprises as a Y. M. II. A. and a Jewish Hospital
for Detroit.
It must be apparent to all who are even remotely in-
terested in communal affairs that it is only recently
that Detroit has emerged from the indifferent state in
tl relation to constructive, philanthropic and social under-
takings.
We can now point, however, to a well organized
United Jewish Charities, a B'nai B'rith Community
house as concrete evidence of a growing social con-
sciousness and sense of civic responsibility. Notwith-
standing these present achievements, the Jewish com-
munity is still woefully behind other cities of lesser
population and wealth. The list of smaller cities with
Jewish hospitals and Y. M. H. A.'s is impressive and
must make us not a little ashamed of our backwardness.
After we have castigated our leaders for their lack of
initiative, we still find that there has not been any con-
certed demand, or articulate pressure for these insti-
tutions. In other cities, young men and young women
clamored, organized and pressed for a Y. M. and Y. W.
and only after genuineness was impressed upon those
who could make the wish a reality was the objective at-
tained. Recently in the city of Pittsburgh, a Y. M. and
Y. W. building, costing upwards of $1,000,000 was ded-
icated. This building represented 20 years of unremit-
ting effort and continuous enthusiasm on the part of the
young men and young women of that community.
When thousands had joined and the accommoda-
tions were found inadequate, representations were then
made to communal leaders who could build a proper
place. The structure so reared came from a real need
of the many thousands. It was not a philanthropic
gesture of an individual who wanted his name perpetu-
ated in stone. It is so much better to create and con-
struct on the basis of living wants, rather than the sat-
isfaction of vanity or as expiatory act, as is sometimes
the case with public benefactions.
This is an opportunity for the young men and wom-
en to prove to a socially awakened community that they
are in earnest about the enterprise. The success of the
drive will determine in a large measure how soon De-
troit will have a worth while Y.

England Does Irish Police Duty.

home Secretary Joynson Flicks seems to have torn
a page out of the book of Secretary of State Kellogg,
except that he gives the reasons for his actions.
Charles Edward Russell, a most innocuous person
despite the fact that many years ago he was a rather
mild sort of a socialist, was not permitted to land in
Queenstown because he had written against the Irish
Free State.
It did not take Britain long to find out why admis-
sion was denied. Two labor members of Parliament,
Joseph Kenworthy and Josiah Wedgewood, brought
the matter before Commons at the first opportunity.
The colonial secretary admitted that it was done at the
request of the Irish Free State authorities and further
explained that there was a tacit agreement between
the home otlice and the Dublin government, "that the
Dublin government should halt the flow of undesirable
aliens through Ireland into England and England had
the same reciprocal arrangement." A delightfully
chummy arrangement which, no doubt, pleases the
Tory soul of Joynson Hicks.
If it is true that England did not exclude Mr. Rus-
sell and he could have landed at Southampton had he
promised not to enter Ireland, it still bespeaks a de-
parture from the better Anglo Saxon practice of free
movement.
There is, however. an aspect of the situation much
more interesting than the action of the Home Secre-
tary. It seems quite inconceivable that a country
which had talked freedom for 700 years should resort
to the expedients of repression and autocracy before it
had tasted five years of independence, and yet such is
the case as presented by the stupid exclusion of Mr.
Russell.
One is compelled to ask, what is all the noise about?
Did those who fought so valiantly for Irish freedom
really want freedom for the people of Ireland or did
they merely wish to be placed in position of power and
preference? In the last decade this question has been
asked more than once. That laboratory of Russia has
also furnished us with experiments of many signifi-
cances, and not of the least is the attitude of those who
were loudest in their demands for freedom, toward dis-
senting or protesting minorities.
One is perforce compelled to examine objectives
and motives despite the unpleasantness of the under-
taking. Did the present leaders of the Irish Free State
or Russia and Italy really concern themselves about
freedom for the masses of people 74., Did they really
want to liberate them from tyranny and oppression, or

in the Revisionist platform enjoy, by
now, the unreserved support of every
