Those Fiery Crosses.

to the individual or to the nation, does Dr. Holmes see
in the prospect of preventing the poor of Europe from
becoming rich, or at least comfortably situated, in
America?
Finally, we cannot agree with Dr. Holmes that the
only form of expansion left in this country is the move-
ment into uninhabited land. That movement stopped
some time ago. There is, however, a great deal of room
in America for industrial labor—the American Feder-
ation of Labor notwithstanding. There is almost unlim-
ited room for skint(' and unskilled labor—especially
the unskilled—in every industry in the country. The
transition from employee to employer is still very rapid
in America. There is a need for men to fill the ranks of
industry. In addition, there are vast states like Texas
and the Dakotas that have not even begun to develop
agriculturally or industrially.
It is necessary to bear in mind the fact that the pres-
ent immigration restrictions were not designed in the
scientific spirit that Dr. Holmes has attempted to bring
to bear upon the problem. They were plainly aimed,
not against immigration, but against a certain kind of
immigration. They were sponsored by men whose sole
aim was to express their prejudice against the people of
eastern and southern Europe. They were inspired by
the misguided "patriotism" of a group of holiee-tham
thou hundred per centers whose notions of American-
ism are far removed from those of the founders of the
republic. The walls that now loom high around our
shores are spite walls.
It is a pity that a man of Dr. Holmes' erudition
should lend his aid to the cause of immigration restric-
tion. Even assuming that he was right in every particu-
lar, it conies with poor grace from a teacher of the lib-
eral arts to say a single word, however well considered,
that would tend to fortify the purblind champions of
restriction in their assault upon the traditional toler-
ance of America's immigration policies.

Dear Brother Omega:
In the National Convention of Omega Upsilon Phi, 1926,
the Constitution of the fraternity was amended by the
Grand Chapter to read as follows: "No person shall be
eligible to become a member of a Greek letter Medical Fra-

FOSTER M. WILLIAMS,
3213 -Delaware Avenue,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
It so happened that this amazing, piece of Kollege Klan
literature reached a Jewish alumnus, and I take great
pleasure in presenting a snappy comeback:
U. S. YG 1 ENE LABORATORY,
Washington, D. C.
My Dear Mr. Williams:
Your letter with reference to the amendment to the
Constitution of the Omega Upsilon Phi Medical Frater-
nity received.
I heartily approve of the amendment because I think
that Jewish physicians are much too intelligent to belong
to an organization that is so conscious of its inferiority as
to contemplate such action as is set forth in the amend-
ment.
You will please remove my name from the roster, since
henceforth I shall consider myself as relieved from mem-
bership.
Very sincerely,
S. P. KRAMER
After reading this I imagine Mr. Williams needs a lit-
tle Omega Oil to apply to the sore spots.

(The beliefs and purposes of Reform Judaism, as outlined
in a resolution issued Jan. 8, calling on New York Jewry to
lend its support to the Union of American Hebrew Congrega-
lions. The booklet referred to was published on this occasion.)

In asking your support for Ju-
t aism and for religion , institutions
which the fund of the union main-
sins, we feel that the ordinary
forms of appeal are not fitting.
Our task is not to persuade, or ca-
jole, or force the unwilling. We
feel that we have but to remind
Jews of the significance of the
work which the union is doing in
creating Jewish religious litera-
ture, in training religious leaders
and in educating our children that
they, too, may preserve the faith.
Where there is an understanding
of the present need and a mos
ment's reflection on what Judaism
means to us who have it and to
those after us whose heritage it
should be, we are confident this
cause needs no advocate but the
Jewish conscience.
In this little booklet we have no
purpose other than to explain why
the support of the union has for
as the force of deep obligation.
In reminding ourselves of what Ju-
daism means to us, we are at the
same time making the only appeal
for the union which it would be
proper to make to others on whom
we feel the same duty rests.
Ours is a heritage of 3,000
years, a literature and a faith of
which we are infinitely proud. We
welcome every opportunity to ac-
knowledge our faith whether
among ourselves or to those who
may now know what Judaism real-
ly is. We are not versed in the-
ology, nor need we be to affirm
in simple words the faith we hold
to, to explain why we remain
Jews.
There is among men, even those
of strong conviction, a growing
sense of shyness in discussing their
fundamental religious beliefs. We
ourselves cannot remain entirely
unaffected by it, but when we ask
support for Judaism, whether of
those within or without our con-
gregations, we become militant
and believe it to be our duty and
our privilege to reaffirm our un-
derstandnig of what Judaism is
and what it teaches about eternal
i !Ts.

mysteries. The commonplaces of
existence brought home to then
the fathomlessness of creation as
vividly as did the light of the dis
tent stars. fln these they read a
divine purpose which they could
not comprehend, but which they
accepted in faith and in hope.
To accept the Divine plan, to
become in a humble way a "fel-
low laborer with the Holy One"—
to realize the best that is in us and
to live up to it in life, this is
the consecration of life which Ju-
daism imposes as a moral duty.
For our guide we have in the
Bible and other sacred literature
a faithful record of the laws of
life, of the laws of morality and
religion, which God revealed to
Israel, and more especially to the
prophets of 1,rael. Its timeless
precepts are inspired as well for
us of modern America as for Is-
rael. We have but to live them.
And without knowing what occurs
after death we may have perfect
trust that our life, its struggle,
and sufferings and failures will be
rightly dealt with by God in Ilk
own way, which is the way of jus-
tice.
As part of our religious faith,
we hope for the coming of a Mes-
sianic age when all men will be
united in righteousness and peace,
and be one in the worship of God.
Toward this ideal ours is the duty
to work and aspire both as indi-
viduals and as a religious group,
for to Israel this ideal was first
revealed. This we believe to be
the call, the mission of the Jews.
These, in summary, are the spir-
itual and ethical truths which we
hold fundamental to Judaism.
Between the religious form and
the religious spirit we hold there
is n distinction. We of the Re-
form faith do not reject cere-
monies as such. For us they are
symbols, not sacraments; vehicles,
not virtues.
Religious ceremonies yield to
the necessities of the times. From
their very nature they cannot re-
main always And everywhere the
same, nor have the force of eter-
nal obligations. It has been beau-
tifully said, "As little its the ripe
fruit can be forced back into the
bud or the butterfly into the chry-
salis, so little can the religious
idea in its long process from gen-
eration to maturity be bound to
one and the same form."
If we are imbued with those
beliefs which see have inherited
from our fathers, which we
learned as children at our moth-
ers' knees, may we not hope that
you, too, still recognize the force
of these great truths and that we
may count on your help? It is our
firm conviction that the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations,
representing as it does the Reform
element in Judaism, has within it

Detroiters who were rather later than earlier in get-
ting home last Tuesday night had an opportunity to
learn an interesting lesson in good will and better un-
derstanding. Scattered throughout the city were con-
siderably more than a score of blazing crosses, symbols
of that super-patriotic fraternity known as the Ku Klux
Klan. A particularly fascinating spectacle was a blitz-
ing cross planted in Campus Martins almost on the
very doorstep of the City Hall, In Grand Circus Park
there were two such crosses.
What gave this illuminating demonstration special
significance was the fact that Tuesday was the day of
the inauguration of the new mayor, John C. Lodge,
and the occasion of the first meeting of the new city
council. Speculation was at once rife, of course, as to
the possible connection between the change of adminis-
tration and the religio-patriotic fireworks.
