minimal.
"In a sense, this session of the
American Jewish Congress is prelim-
inary to the European Conference on
Jewish Rights, which an earlier con-
gress session resolved to summon. It
was the American Jewish Congress
of 1918 which gave content and the
largest measure of effectiveness to
the Committee of Jewish Delegations
in Paris, 1919. The latter, minus the
representatives of the American Jew-
ish Congress, had been incomplete
impotent as is the Leaugue of Nations
minus the United States of America.
The inclusion of the representatives
of the American Jewish Congres s
within the Committee of Jewish Dele-
gations did most to insure the safe-
guarding, of minority rights by the
terms of the treaty.
"Nearly 10 years have passed and
the most decisive changes have come
over the fortunes of Jews in so-called
minority lands. We have learned
afresh the axiom of historic experi-
ence that, whereas wrong-doing may
be automatic, the preservation of
right, even of constitutional guaran-
teed rights, is never automatic.
Wrong may be self-perpetuating, the
right must be vigilantly cherished if
it is to prevail and abide."
Much interest centered around the
address of Mr. Gruenbaum, who, at
the conclusion of his report on the
:situation of the Jews in Eastern Eu-
rope, touched on the question of the
Jewish Agency. "I do not welcome
it," he stated, developing his idea of
opposing the admission of the non-
Zionists to the task of upbuilding
Palestine as a homeland for the Jews.
"I elo not believe they will do it anti,
:f they will, it will be (tone badly,"
he declared.
No Agency Discussion.
Except for these remarks, no dis-
cussion developed on the question of
the Jewish Agency, notwithstanding
the fact that much speculation went
on prior to the opening of the !des-
'ion as to what would be the course
taken by the leaders of the congress
in this matter. What was virtually
an indictment of the anti-Jewish per-
secutions in European countries and
particularly in Roumania was ex-
pressed by Rev. Brown in his ad-
dress, in which he declared:
"Injustice anywhere by anybody
should be denounced by every right-
minded person, and the injustice to
which the Jews have been subjected
is one of the tragic iniquities of his-
tory. I need not recount the details,
since they are known to you and have
been widely published. I speak to
you not as to Jews but as to my
fellow Americans, for the question
is not merely Jewish but humani-
tarian, and is independent of reli-
gious distinctions. In discussing it,
I shall state opinions that I have long
held and that I have often expressed
when no Jews were present.
L arger Ids.. Needed.
"Do we not need, all of us, to cul-
tivate a larger idea of humanity, to
realize anew that the wrongs of other
people are our affair, that we cannot
.it down here between our two oceans
and brag about our imperial domain
and our vast wealth while other peo-
ples are being cruelly oppressed. It
was Cain, the murderer, who said
that he was not his brother's keeper.
Persecutions Proved.
"Unfortunately, Jews are not the
one people in Roumania who have
been subjected to persecution. There
are Christians in that country who
have also been unjustly treated. The
alleged treaty of peace after the war
hook the great province of Transyl-
vania away from Hungary, of which
it had been a part for 1,000 years,
and gave it to Roumania as a reward
for her co-operation with the Allies.

and Roman Catholics. The Rou-

Ehrlich, "one is gratified to see just
how many contributors, large and
small, there actually are. For it
means many things. It means that
the number of those who are inter-
ested ni the upbuilding of Palestine
grows larger year by year. It means
that the Jewish community has a
pride—as it should have—in seeing
is drive go over 100 per cent, a civic
pride as well as a Jewish pride. It
means that Detroit Jewry becomes
responsible for its duties and is not
willing that the burden of giving
shall full upon a few, but that all
who can must give, however small the
contribution.
"If the drive does not go over 100
per cent, one feels that it will not
be the fault of the hundreds who have
worked and contributed, but it will
be the fault of those hundreds who
have sat by indifferently, neither
worked nor contributed.
"The drive is still on and will not
be closest until the quota is reached.
As you read this article, if you have
not yet contributed, will you not do
your duty toward the future of Is-
rael?"
Rabbi and Minister
Exchange Pulpits
Dr. Joseph A. Vance and Dr.
Leo M. Franklin Partici-
pate in Unique Event.
What is said to he the first instance
of its kind will take place on Sunday
morning, Feb. 27, when Rev. Joseph
A. Vance, pastor of the First Pres-
byterian Church of Detroit, will oc-
cupy the pulpit at the regular sere-
ice at Temple Beth El. At the same
time Dr. Leo M. Franklin will occupy
Mr. Vance's pulpit.
This is part of an annual city-wide
inter - denominational exchange of
pulpits inaugurated three years ago
and now become a recognized insti-
tution in our city's religious life.
This is perhaps the first time that a
rabbi has been invited to speak from
a Presbyterian pulpit at a regular
Sunday service, or that a minister of
that denomination has accepted an
invitation to occupy a Jewish pulpit
on Sunday morning.
Dr. Vance, who has for many years
been recognized as one of the bril-
liant pulpit orators of Detroit, has
chosen as his subject "The Love of
God." Dr. Franklin will speak on
the theme "Does the World Need a
New Religion?"
The rabbis and officers of the tem-
ple are particularly anxious that Dr.
Vance shall be greeted by a very
large congregation. Not only the
members of the temple but all who
are interested are cordially invited
to attend the service which begins as i
usual at I0:45. The ritual service of
the temple will be read by Rabbi!
Leon From. The music will be an-1
der the direction of Dr. William How.
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
PLAN DINNER-DANCE
What is expected to be the finest
social event of the current season is
the dinner-dance sponsored by the
Detroit Lodge, No. 55, Knights of
Pythias, which will he held Sunday
evening, Feb. 27, at 7 o'clock, at the
Hotel Stadler. Elaborate plans as-
suring everyone attending a joyful
evening have already been complet-
ed. The entertainment committee,
headed by Harold T. Rosenthal, has
arranged a program of rare talent
which will include the personal ap-
pearance of 10 radio stars who have
delighted Detroiters all winter.
Among the artists of the air who
will perform are the famous duo from
Station W.IR, Mary Tudor and Char-
lotte Meyers; Moran and Moran, vo-
calists from Station WCX ; the Wol-
verine Hawaiians from Station
WGIIP, and others of note. Jerry
Rynek, the genial and rotund enter-
tainer, will act as master of cere-
monies.
The stance lovers will dance to the
syncopating tunes of Shook's Creole
Orchestra while other high class en-
tertainment, which is in the nature
of a surprise, will be offered inter-
mittently between the stances.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the general public to attend. The re-
ception committee, headed by David
Berger, and which includes all past
chancellors and the present officers
of the lodge, will be on the alert to
see that everyone is made comfort.

WASHINGTON.--(.1. T. A.)—The American Commission on the Rights
of Religious Minorities has sent a commission to Europe to study the situa-
tion of the Jews in various European countries. The report of this com-
mission will be ready in a few months. This was the information given
to the American Jewish Congress delegates by the Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown,
president of the commission, who addressed the biennial session of the
American Jewish Congress at the New Willard Hotel here. Over 400 dele-
gates were registered and about 5(10 guests were present at the session.
Judge Milton S. Strasbourger, chairman of the Washington committee
of the American Jewish Congress, opened the session on behalf of the com-
mittee. Commissioner Tallifera welcomed the delegates on behalf of the
District of Columbia and Dr. Abram Simon on behalf of the Washington
Jewish community. At the suggestion of Dr. Steller, Dr. Wise was elected
chairman; Louis Lipsky, Judge (tusta e Hartman, Jacob Ginsburg of Phila-
delphia, Mrs. Archibald Silverman o Providence, R. I., and Solomon J.
Liebeskind were elected vice-chairmen. Bernard G. Richards, Dr. S. Berndt
and Martin Levy of Philadelphia we e elected secretaries.
Besides the biennial message delivered by Dr. Wise, president of the
American Jewish Congress, the aoldre sea of Rev. Brown and Deputy Isaac
Gruenbaum were the outstanding
features of the first sessions.

and for years a leader in the Boy
Scout movement in Detroit, delivered
addresses.
Rabbi Hershman stressed the im-
portance of Father and Son week by
pointing out that its observance di-
rects at least once a year the con-
certed attention of the community
to the problem of preserving the
home as the foundation of civilized
life. Unless the home succeeds in
halting the downgrade tendency man-
ifested in recent years, civilization,
Rabbi Hershman said, will crumble.
In order to strengthen the home as
I the most effective instrument for
promoting civilization, the rabbi in-
dicated that parents would have to
learn that their function is not mere-
ly biologic and economic but spirit-
ual.
Mr. Jamieson described a trip he
took to South American countries in
the interest of the Boy Scout move-
ment. Ile was impressed, he said,
with the prevailing affection of chil-
dren fur their cistern and a corre-
sponding devotion of parents to their
boys anti girls. Contrary to what is
generally assumed in the United
States, the factors entering into the
making of good homes and happy
families are as markedy present in
South America as in countries usual-
ly regarded as more advanced. Mr.
Jamieson urged the congregation to
further the Boy Scout movement
among its boys.
The observance was ushered in by
the Boy Scouts of Troop 164, which
is affiliated with the congregation.
When its color guard entered the
dining hall with the American and
Zionist flags, the audience rose and
sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and
"Ilatikvah." Following the blessing
over the breast by the cantor, a din-
ner was served, in the course of
which popular songs were sung un-
der the direction of Samuel Willis,
assistant scout master of Troop 164.
Fathers and sons were engaged in
rivalry during the music intervals
and cheered each other in manifest
affection.
Cantor Elijah Zaludowski made pia
initial appearance at a social function
of the congregation when he sang an
aria front "The Pearl Fishers" and
a folk song of which he composed the
music.
After the banquet fathers and sons
played a series of games in the gym-
nasium. Moving pictures concluded
the program.
Seymour J. Frank presided. The
committee on arrangements included
Mr. Frank, hernias A. August, Wil-
liam Goldstein, Oscar Kaufman, Si-
mon Shetzer and Samuel Willis.

Why Church Fails
Explained by Marx
Jurist Says Churches Could Be
Wiped Out and Not Be
Missed.
Defining religion as "supplying that
moral cement which holds civilization
together," and declaring that only the
church is capable of providing the ce-
ment, Judge Robert S. Marx of Chica-
go, speaker at the Jewish Open Forum
last Sunday afternoon, proceeded to ex-
plain why religion fails today and why
this failure of religion is the great
cause of the crime wave, which has en-
listed so many young people in all sec-
tions of the country. Judge Marx
substituted for his law partner, Aaron
Sapiro, famous as organizer of co-op-
erative marketing associations among
the farmers, who was unable to attend.
"If some unimaginable calamity," he
declared, "were to wipe out overnight
all the churches and synagogues, as
well as all the priests, ministers and
rabbis in the United States, the aver-
age American would not miss some
vital influence in life. There has been
an ever-growing gap between the
American people and the church," he
continued. "Still we most have the
church to hold civilization together.
Attempts on the parts of business, the
stage, the screen and even the school
have failed, the church must contain."
Speaking of the crime wave, Judge
Marx said, "There have been 15,000
homicides in the United States during
the last year; there has been three
billion dollars worth of property lost
in holdups, burglaries and robberies;
there has been a wave of suicides of
American youths of school age—all be-
cause of the failure of the church to
inculcate into our lives certain funda-
mental moral principles.
"But there is 110 other institution ex-
cept the church which can give as the
necessary background of ethics, mor-
ality and faith which are the corner-
atones of civilization."
Speaking particularly of the syn-
agogues, with which he as a Jew is
familiar, the speaker stated "There
has been a marked tendency on the
part of Jewish synagogues to chit sin
their boards of trustees men who have
attained financial and lousiness success
in life. These men apply their busi-
ness ability to the synagogue, as if it
were a motley-making institution. Fre-
quently questions concerning the ma-
terial success of the synagogue, of the
mere physical upkeep of buildings, are
given preference to problems of moral
education .
COPENHAGEN.-1.1. T. A.)—Dr.
Georg Brainless, famous Danish Jew-
ish critic, died here after a year's ill.
ness. Ile was 85 on Feb. 4. He un-
derwent an operation for intestinal
trouble a week ago but his age milk
latest against his recovery.
Georg Breeden was born in Copen-
hagen on Feb. 4, 1842. His real
name was George Morris Kuhn. Ile
was educated at the University of Co-
penhagen, where, after taking up the
study of law, he soon shifted to phi-
losophy and esthetics.
Dr. Brainless, whose work extended
over a wider field than that of any
writer of his time, exercised ten influ-
ence on the literature of most of the
European countries. Equally well
known as critic and philosopher, he
might have gained renown in juris-
prudence, which he first studied when
he entered the University of Copen-
hagen, or as a poet, having shown
a remarkable gift for verse when a
young man. However, his poems
were never sufficiently abundant for
separate publication and he did not
collect them until 1898.
While in the university Brandes
was under the influence of writing
of Ileidburg in criticism and of Soren
Kierksgaard in philosophy, influences
which continued to leave traces in
later work. In order to broaden his
knowledge of literature, he traveled
extensively in Europe from 1865 to
1871.
Dr. Brandes first important con-
tribution was his "Aesthetic Studies"
in 1868.
Severed important works in 1870
brought him to the front as the lead.
ing critic of Northern Europe. These
included "The French Aesthetics of
Our Day, dealing chiefly with Tame;
"Criticism" and Portraits" and a
translation of John Stuart Mills'
"The Subjection of Women."
Became Sensation.
Becoming reader in belles-lettres at
the University of Copenhagen, he de-
livered lectures which were the sensa-
tion of the hour and resulted in the
refusal of the authorities to elect
him professor of aesthetics when the
chair became vacant in 1872. His
ardent advocacy of modern ideas was
given as the cause. However, the
chair remained vacant, no one daring
to place himself in comparison with
Brandes.
In the midst of an important liter-
ary controversy, of which he was the
center, Dr. Brandes began to issue
the most ambitious of his works,
"Main Streams of the Literature of
the Nineteenth Century," of which
four volumes appeared between 1872
and 1875. His monograph on Teg-
ner, Disraeli, Lasalle, Holberg, Ibsen
and Anatole France attracted wide
attention. Ile wrote a monumental
study of Goethe and was one of the
editors of the German version of Ib-
sen. One of his most important
works was his study of Shakespeare,
regarded as sine of the most attrac-
tive on the subject.
Dr. Brandes left Copenhagen in
11477 and settled in Berlin, where he
lived six years, and then returned to
Copenhagen.

Reach Last Year's Total.
"The drive has reached almost the
grand total obtained In Detroit last
year," Robert W. Marwil said. Mr.
Marv•il is head of the U. S. Cap Man-
ufacturing Company, head of the big
givers committee of the campaign
and one of the outstanding workers
in Detroit.
"We ran against a great many ob.
staclee and we have already mastered
most of them. In the first place, we
knew that the business conditions are
very poor, but we could not postpone
our drive on that account. So we
went ahead and got the money any-
way. Then we found that a tremen-
dously large number of men and
women were in Florida or California
or some other warm place. And these
are the very people who have the
money. But we are writing to them
all and we are now getting very fine
and very generous responses from
the most of them.
"We now have approximately $40,-
000 in view from the people who gave
us money last peter and who have not
yet been reached in this campaign,
We feel certain that a great many
of these people are deeply interested
in the re-building of Palestine and
we know that many of them will
again give us their assistance."
Fishman Working Hard.
Morris Fishman, vice-president of
the Detroit Life Insurance Company
and one of the most faithful and most
effective workers in the local cam-
paign, is still bending his efforts to-
wards the greater success of the
drive.
"Every year there are a few peo-
ple who go to Palestine," Mr, Fish-
man said. "They see what is hap-
pening there and they come back
more deeply and more completely
sold on Palestine than they ever were
before. I am one of those people
and I will never rest until I have
done everything I can possibly to to
make the dream of a Jewish home
land an actual reality.
"There are a great many people in
Detroit who bade been there and they
are all deeply impressed with the
greatness of the project they saw
there. Dave Brown went there and
Robert Mierwil, Mrs. Frieda Ullian,
Israel Davidson. Rabbi I.eon Fram ,
Alexander Freeman and a large num-
ber of others. Arid they have all
come back more determined than
ever to put the idea of Palestine
across."
Lappin Is Pleased.
"We are pleased with the showing
Detroit has made and we are deeply
grateful to the workers who have
given us so much of their time and
energy, A. C. Lappin, campaign di-
rector, said. "We are grateful, too,
to the people who have given us
money, many of them when they
really could not spare it. There is
• real spirit of kindliness and gener-
osity here and we are all glad that
we have had so fine a response in
spite of the many difficult handi-
caps.
"Technically, the campaign is fin-
ished, but the subscriptions are still
coming in and we expect there will
be many thousands of dollars added
to the total we have now on hand?'
A total of $25,1100 has been sent
by the Detroit district to national
headquarters for forwarding to Pal-
estine.
Another large sum will be
sent within a few days.
Four Detroit people will have their
names inscribed in the Golden Book
of Life in Palestine as a result of this
campaign. They are: Mrs. J. II.
Ehrlich, Morris Fishman, A. J. Btu.
menau and Ily Gittleman. These
people each secured at least $1,000
in each contributions. It is expected
that there will be several more win-
ners when all of the detail work of
the drive has been completed.
I'reparationa are now being made
