I heartily agree with the one-half of 1 per cent Americans that the
alien influence on art and literature in this country has been most corrupt-
ing. And I don't blame these earnest-minded souls from meguphoning their
protests against making America the dumping ground for these evil-minded
foreigners. And I am willing to work shoulder to shoulder with them in
fighting this menace to the morals of the nation. When they are ready I
am prepared to take drastic steps to eliminate from the press of the country
three foreigners who have done much to arouse the righteous indignation of
glean-minded citizens by their introduction of the low-minded tabloid pic-
ture papers to the homes of the free. I refer to Joseph Madill Patterson
of the Chicago Tribune, William Randolph Hearst and Bernarr McFadden.

of May 21-27 be observed as Jewish Book Week. The idea hasmet with
widespread approval and the Chicago Rabbinical Association is urging all
its members to devote the Sabbath following Lag B'Omer (the "Scholars'
Festival") to a seron emphasizing the vital need of quickening Jewish life
through a more familiar acquaintance with first grade literature written by
and about Jews. More books of Jewish interest are now being published
than ever before in the history of Use world. And the Jews should certainly
encourage and support these efforts to put out good books on Jewish sub-
jects in English. Let everyone begin to consider more seriously Jewish
literature and the pulpit of the country will render a real service by arous-
ing interest in it. •
Julius Rosenwald seems never to miss an opportunity to further his pet
project of assisting the Negro in his Young Men's Christian Association
work. The newspapers announce that when Mr. Rosenwald's contribution
of $25,000 for the Negro section of the proposed New York Y. M. C. A.
expansion was made public at a dinner it was greeted with a wild burst
of applause. Mr. Rosenwald is rendering a real social service and one that
is of immense value to the nation in promoting the cultural welfare of
the Negro.

The pages of the average Jewish periodical are abundant but
filled with purely news items garnered from either the society cor-
respondent or the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The only literary
interest is provided by a few banal editorials, a syndicated article
(usually by a rabbi) sent out by one of the Jewish news agencies
and—in the case of the larger and more intelligent magazines only—
the humanly interesting column of Mr. Joseph. With all our talk of
the superior Jewish intelligence this is the best we can do when
actually put to it.
