11enry Ford testified to his
change of mind with regard to
the Jewish people in an inter-
view he granted to a represen-
tative of the Jewish Youth
Magazine, n London weekly
newspaper.
"Although some people don't
believe it. the fact of the mat-
ter is that 1 have the greatest
admiration for the Jewish peo-
ple," Henry Ford declared.
The Jewish people have great
merchants and captains of in-
dustry who have kept the
world's business going. People
are often lazy and when Jews'
initiative easily causes them to
reach the ladder's top, by devo-
tion to duty and high princi-
ples, their neighbors are jealous
and prejudice grows."
"The Zionist movement will
play a great part," Mr. Ford
stated in reply to a question
about the I'alestine work. "I
do not believe that the whole
Jewish people desires to return
to Palestine, but it will be the
home of the Jews who are per-
secuted in backward countries
and an inspiration to Jews
everywhere. The Jews should,
in my opinion, keep firmly to
their faith and render their full
service to the business life of

can get to understand and appreci-
ate the Jew and his faith without
careful and devoted study. If
Judaism in this country no longer
has a strong hold upon the masses
of our people, it is primarily due
to the fact that we do not any
more cherish sacred feelings about
books. Let us, however, be frank
enough to admit that our spiritual
leaders are, at least to some ex-
tent, to be blamed for this state
of affairs. We have preached and
appealed to our people in behalf
of anything and everything but
we have neglected to popularize
the Jewish book. There was a time
when the complaint was made that
we do not have a Jewish literature
in the English language, but this
complaint no longer holds true to-
day. Good books in English are
published annually but they enjoy
a poor circulation and they are not
read.
"It seems to us that the week
following Lag B'Omer, which is
known as the 'Scholars' Festival,'
would be • very fitting occasion
for Jewish Book Week. Let the
rabbis of America devote their
sermons on the Sabbath preceding
Lag B'Omer, which falls on May
4, to the Jewish book. Let them
on this Sabbath point out the his-
toric role of the book in Judaism
and urge the people to continue
to buy and read good Jewish books.
Because of the proximity of Lag
B'Omer to confirmation rabbis
could also urge Jewish parents to
buy Jewish books as gifts for con-
firmants."

umes were published in 1913, on
the occasion of the celebration of
the thirtieth anniversary of Mr.
Frishman's literary career.
In all, Mr. Frischman wrote 43
years. At the time of his death,
in 1922, the Stiebel Publishing Co.,
then in Warsaw, undertook to pub-
lieh the unpublished writings. The

this, but put a complete atop to the

On behalf of the organization

prepared the following statement
for I'isgah Lodge:
"Aside from its support of the
outstanding orphan, widow and in-
firniity homes for the aged and in-
digent; its hospitals, its consump-
tive homes, its relief and philan-
thropic activities, the work of the
B'nai B'rith is essentially and
basically Jewish. The Jew must
guard against an inferiority com-
plex. The thrusts and indignities
of centuries heaped upon the Jew
has made him weak and cowering.
"To unshackle these chains of
inferiority and to infuse again the
red blood of courage and man-
hood is the aim of the B'nai
B'rith.
"The pressure of the anti- defa-
