The Earl of Balfou r Reaches Eighty
Just as the name of Cyrt s, the conqueror of Baby-
Ion in 538 B. C., has becom e immortal in Jewish his-
tory, as a result of his declar ation which opened a way
for rehabilitation by Jews o their homeland, so has
lasting fame been assured i n the story of our nation
for the Earl of Balfour, whc ) became an octogenarian
on Wednesday.
In reality the names Balf Air and Cyrus are the con-
necting ends of a great brid e of 25 centuries of Jew-
ish history. Ezra, the great Prophet of the Babylonian
Captivity, hails Cyrus as ' the anointed one of the
Lord," and tells us that

ti

•

in the first year of Cyrus kin g of Persia, that the word
of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accom-
plished, the Lord stirred up t le spirit of Cyrus, king of
Persia, that he made a prod emotion throughout all his
kingdom, and put it also in :siting, saying: "Thus snith
Cyrus King of Persia: All t he kingdoms of the earth
bath the Lord, the God of hea' ten, given me; and He hath
charged me to build Him a hou se in Jerusalem, which is in
Jddah. Whosoever there is a , mong you of all His people
his God be with him—let him m up to Jerusalem, which is
in Judah, and build the hous e ) of the Lord, the God of
Israel, He is the God who is in Jerusalem. And whosoever
is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of
his place help him with silve r and with gold, and with
goods, and with beasts, besid es the freewill-offering for
the house of God which is in Jerusalem."

Almost 25 centuries th6re !after another great states-
man handed out a similar 11 tope and opportunity, but
to a more widely scattered and a more cruelly perse-
cuted and oppressed Israel, In the darkest period of
our people's history, at a ti r ne when millions in world
Jewry were subjected to the dangers of death by war,
.estilence and massacre, and the remainder, though not
so seriously affected by the world conflict, was divided
in sentiment and sympathy toward the warring fac-
tions, a ray of hope was proj ected on Israel's sad horiz-
on. It appeared on Nov. 2, 1917, when Arthur James
Balfour, speaking on beha If of the British Govern-
ment, conveyed to the Je wish people, through Lord
Rothichild, the blowingde claration approved by the
British cabinet:

His majesty's government view with favor the estab-
lishmen in Palestine of a nails nal home for the Jewish peo-
endeavors to facilitate the
pie, and will of
use this

nothing shall be done which non-Jewish communities in

Palestine, or the rights and
Jews in any other country.

On the occasion of the eightieth birthday of the
Earl of Balfour, the Jews rejoice and celebrate more
than any other people, incl uding even the English of
whose government he was a member for more than
half a century. Because the name Balfour has brought
hope to Israel in his darks it moments; the consistent
and genuine friendship and sympathy of the man has
brought us nearer to the r ealization of the prophesy
of the redemption of the h orneland ; because the der-
l in our own day, borne
laration bearing his name Ias,
fruits in establishing in Pal istino,a firm foundation for
the re-settlement there of the Jewish soul as well as
the Jewish body.
There is one other thing for which we are greatly
indebted to Balfour. Not only has he handed us the
great hope for Zion's rede mption, but he has helped
to speed the realization of t le great dream by his beau-
idealism of Zionism and
tiful interpretations of the idealism
Jewish nationalism. His a ddress at the inauguration
of the Hebrew University o .1 Mount Scopus, Jerusalem,
on April 1, 1925, stands o cat as an eloquent example
of his understanding and appreciation of the Jew's
yearning for national reh abilitation. On other oc-
casions, in Palestine, in Lon idon and on his visit to this
country, at Washington, t he Earl of Balfour has re-
iterated words of friendsh ip which will for all time
be recorded in Jewish histo ry and will in turn serve as
the greatest tribute a man could hope for.
We greet our great fr end on his eightieth birth-
day, and we hope that we may be privileged to con-
gratulate him on many mor e birthdays.

American lira el's New Trust.

The 4,087,357 who reg istered their Jewish aflilia-
tions in 1926 have, at the a ame time, written American
Israel down as the leadin g Jewish community in the
world, in point of numbers.
The growth of the Jew ish numbers in this country
during the past century ha. been phenominal. In 1818
Mordecai M. Noah was au l .hority for the estimate that
there were 3,000 Jews in 1.1 he United States. This num-
ber doubled in 1924, accor ding to Solomon Etting, and
in 1926 Isaac C. Harby cla imed the number of Ameri-
can Jews to be 16,000. In 1840, however, the Ameri-
can Almanac listed only 1 5,000 Americans as Jewish,
but the estimate of M. A. Berk, in 1848, boosted the
numbers to 50,000.
In 1880 we find Willia B. Hackenburg listing the
number of Jews in this :ountry as 230,257, and in
1888 Isaac /darkens' estir nate boosted the figures to
Sulzberger estimated that the
400,000. In 1897 David SI
Jews in the United State s numbered 937,800. The
Jewish Encyclopedia's figu res for 1905 almost doubled
Sulzberger's estimate whe )n it claimed the American
Jewish population to be 1, 508,435. Statistics compiled
by the American Jewish Year Book in 1910 showed
the Jewish population to be 2,043,762, and the esti-
mates of the Bureau of Je Nish Social Research in 1920
claimed our numbers here to be 3,602,150.
Thus, in the past 30 years, our numbers in this

country increased four and a half fold. Taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered them by the free
United States, when the doors of this country were
widely opened as a haven of refuge for the oppressed
of the world, Eastern European Jews flocked to these
shores, and the growth of the American Jewish com-
munity as a result of their wholesale settlement in this
country is unequalled in the history of colonization
movements. Especially between the years of 1880 and
1911, the period that began with wholesale and hor-
hible massacres in Russia and other lands and ended
with the outbreak of the war, Jews, in their search for
physical, moral and economic security, came here in
overwhelming numbers, with the result that American
Jewry today leads world Israel in point of numbers.
Prior to the outbreak of the war the Jews of Russia
occupied the position which is ours today as a result
of our great growth. But Russian Jewry's responsibil-
ities were never as great as are those of the Jews of
America at present. Russian Jewry was never faced
by problems outside those of immediate and inner con-
cern. There is not a single instance of Jewish respon-
sibility in its history to measure up with the relief
duties that were American Israel's (luring the past
decade. But even in their internal problems the Jews
of Russia were never as seriously affected as are their
successors to world leadership among their people to-
day. Their spiritual security and traditional Jewish
firmness. made their position as strong as the rock of
Gibralter, and even when hundreds of thousands of
their numbers emigrated to the United States it did
not affect them but, on the contrary, gave them a feel-
ing of satisfaction that they were able 'to supply the
youthful American Jewish community with spiritual
leaders.
American Israel, on the other hand, in acquiring
leadership in world Jewry, is faced with very great and
serious problems and responsibilities. Not only are we
charged with the duty of offering relief to those of our
fellow Jews who only a little over a decade ago occu-
pied the same position that we do today, both economi-
cally as well as in the respect of the world, but our in-
ternal problem is greater. We have neither the schools
nor the scholars of which Russian and other Eastern
European Jewries have boasted. We can't even hope
to draw upon the reservoir of Eastern Eurokean Jew-
ish intellectuality sbecause the doors of this country are
now permanently closed to them. We are thrown back
upon our own resources and in acquiring our new posi-
tion of leadership are charged with the double duty
of bettering not only the position of less fortunate
Jews, but, spiritually, our own as well.
American Jews dare not fail in their new trust.
That which was Russian Jewry'A pride before the war,
her spiritual invincibility, must become our pride. We
are recognized as the spokesmen for world Israel, and
we must accept the trust with dignity. We must, there-
fore, strive for the building of a well-informed and in-
tellectually powerful people, one that should be ready
to uphold its heritage with honor.

A Well Deserved Punishment.

Rumania's moral punishment for her barbaric treat-
ment of her Jewish citizens could have come from no
better source than the International Students' Con-
federation.
For many years, the Rumanian government per-
mitted, and in many instances encouraged, outrages
against Jews the mere mention of which self-respect-
ing governments would have been ashamed of. What
was particularly regrettable about the anti-Jewish otit-
rages, however, was the fact that Rumania's student
youth was playing a leading part in the excesses. The
so-called educated classes were the ones to show ex-
amples to the masses in pillaging, robbing and murder-
ing.
Rumania and her students refused to see the writ-
ing on the wall. No land has yet survived through the
power of her sword. No people has yet earned glory
through murder. Rumania's faults were weighed in
the balance and that land was found wanting. The
murderous bands, led by university students, roamed
the country unpunished, but a higher moral power is
destined to make the right and timely rebuke.
Thus, when the International Students' Confedera-
tion convenes in a world congress in Paris during the
coming month, the English student body will present a
motion for the expulsion of the Rumanian Student Fed-
, eration from the world league, for the reason that Ru-
manian students participated in the anti-Jewish out-
rages in Oradeamare in December, 1927.
The motion of the British Students' Union will have
the support of the delegations from America, Italy,
Hungary, Jugoslavia and Switzerland, and although
the counteracting support to be offered Rumania's
students by a number of European countries may defeat
the rebuking motion to expel them from the interna-
tional body, the fact that the student bodies of some
of the leading nations of the world are ready to point
a shaming finger at student leaders of pogrom bands
is in itself an element condemning outrages perpetrat-
ed by so-called civilized beings.
The rebuke to Rumania's anti-Semites by the world
students' organization is not untimely. The insistence
of the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Macfarland, general secre-
tary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ up-
on his return from Rumania, that anti-Jewish outbreaks
continue and that the Jewish situation in that country
continues to be serious, offers added reason for the con-
demnation of the outrages. It is true that Mr. Leon
Fischer, vice-president of the United Rumanian Jews
of America, who also just returned from a visit to Ru-
mania, holds the view that an attitude of peace and
brotherhood predominates," but it is very possible that
Mr. Fischer's anxiety for the peace he speaks of may
have been the wish that fathered the thought ; whereas,
the Christian clergyman surely must mave been un-
biased both in wish and in thought.
Thus we are offered a certain amount of moral com-
pensation for all the agony Jews were subjected by the
pogroms of nominally enlightened men. But an un-
happy situation continues to rule in Europe. So long
as the student bodies of many lands are ready to back
Rumania's leaders in anti-Jewish outrages, in spite of
the fact that they were condemned by word public
opinion ; and go long as certain student bodies are ready
to quit the world confederation if Rumanians are ex-
pelled, the Polish and Czechoslovakian collegiate
groups having been mentioned in this category, then
the hope for better days is still considerably removed
from our own times.

Books and Authors

Takes a little time after a reasonably long vacation
to get one's fingers accustomed to the typewriter. Then,
too, it takes a while to get back into the outing of things
and to find out what the old world has been,doing while
one's been away. I sat up the other night, knee-deep in
the Jewish press of the country, trying to get a line on
happenings. But most of the news had a familiar look.
I was a bit interested in that Loewenstein mystery. When
he came to this country, some months back, accompanied
by airships and aviators and secretaries and what-not,
and everybody was talking about him being the third
richest man in the world, I took long chance, so to
speak, and claimed him for Jewry.

A couple of weeks after the appearance of try para-
graph, I was told that Captain Loewenstein was not a
Jew, but a Catholic. I couldn't quite figure the thing out.
And in looking over the general as well as the sectarian
press, I discovered that he was a Jew but had been con-
verted to Roman Catholicism, though Time, usually accu-
rate, simply refers to him as a Jew. Ile was one of those
mystery men who seem to be much more common in
Europe than in this country. Ile made his money quickly
and then tried to buy his way into society. Ile managed
to get a bit of the way into the middle of things, the
Prince of Wales, among others, having been a guest. But
there are loud whisperings that he wasn't so much for
culture and manners and that he was given a cold shoul-
der by most of society's highest because. his personality
was quite offensive. According to Belgian law, if his
death cannot be validated, his heirs will have to discover
his corpse or his skeleton, and if that isn't possible, then
they will have to wait until 100 years after his birth
before they can claim his estate. Rather an odd charac-
ter and an odd business all the way around,

Just missed by a hair that convention of the Aleph
Zadek Aleph in Denver. When I got off the train front
Cody, Wyo., and walked into the Burlington station at
Denver, it was decorated in holiday attire. I wondered
whether the Elks or the Knights Templar were in town.
My little boy, who has sharper eyes than I have, quickly
discovered the letters A. Z. A. Even then I didn't ap-
preciate the fact that the Junior B'nai B'rith group was
meeting there. I found it out reading a newspaper in
the evening at Colorado Springs. This order is a splendid
agency for gbod among the younger folks. Some three
hundred came to Denver for the convention from all parts
of the country. I was sorry that I couldn't have ar-
ranged to have been present, for I noted that Boris Bogen
and Milton Scheyer were two of the principal personali-
ties there, and I would have been happy to have been with
them. Next year, unless something happens, I shall be
present as the convention is to be held in Pittsburgh.
That was a mighty good job the B'nai B'rith did when it
brought that group into being.

In my travels I was asked about the election. There
hasn't been a campaign in a good many years that seems
to have caused so much interest and discussion. When
Davis ran against Coolidge, it wasn't is race—it was a
cinch for Coolidge. But this Smith and Hoover contest
looks different. Whether Al wins or not, at least he is
giving a human touch to the business. Both Mr. Coolidge
and Mr. Davis were dignified gentlemen in the campaign
of four years ago, and one had to use an electric machine
to get a kick out of it. But this is vastly different. Mr.
Hoover will supply the dignity and Smith will furnish the
fireworks. If any man thinks that he can figure out the
result by an ordinary basis of computation he'd better
forget it. When we get religion mixed up with politics
no living person can tell what's going to happen. A lot
of people like Smith who are not going to vote for him.
They would in a minute if he were not a Catholic. The
prohibition issue is the biggest noisy issue in the cam-
paign, but the religious issue is just as big, though it is
silent. I hate to see it, but Smith is going to be knifed
through and through by the Ku Kluxers as well as by a
large number of Protestants who are not Ku Kluxers, but
who will swallow anything or anybody except a Catholic.
I know this to be a fact. And some Protestant ministers
•lining up their flocks to see that a Catholic
are already
doesn't sit in the White House. Wet Republicans will
vote for Smith and Dry Democrats will vote against him.
Yes, it's quite a puzzle, but in any event, Smith showed
himself to be possessed of high moral courage in kicking
that hypocritical plant of the Democrats on Prohibition
out of the platform. It took courage to do that—and it
took an honest man to do it.

A. Leo Weil, Esq., well known attorney of Pitts-
burgh and nationally known to the world of Jewry, was
honored the other day by two hundred representative
citizens of Pittsburgh on the occasion of his seventieth
birthday. Mr. Well has been and still is a fighter. Ile
fights for the right. He was the man who cleaned out a
corrupt gang of councilmen in Pittsburgh many years
ago, and at that time the press of tie nation applauded
his deeds. Ile was an active member of the executive
committee of the Voters' Civic League, having for its
purpose the raising of the standard of political life in
the city and especially of the political life of politicians.
Mr. Weil's campaign wasn't very popular and even our
hush-hush-don't-make-rishus Jews were not wholly in
sympathy with Mr. Weil's fight. But he fought on and he
fought friend and foe alike until he had cleaned house.
It was a great victory, and as a result of that fight Pitts-
burgh changed its councilmanic representation. He is a
member of the American Jewish Committee and has
been from the day it was organized. He is also an active
member of the executive committee of the American He-
brew Congregations. America need), citizens like A. Leo
Weil, the Jew. And the Pittsburgh community in honor-
ing him honored itself.

A splendid article appears in the Nation on the estab-
lishment of a Jewish state in the Soviet Union. It covers
the whole farm question in relation to the Jews in a most
understanding and comprehensive way. I would ask my
readers to consider this quotation which I am sure will
interest those who are at all concerned with the Russian
situation:
Attention both inside and outside of the Soviet
Union has been chiefly centered on the work of
Jewish land settlement. This is undoubtedly due
to the political significance attached to Jewish colo-
nization in the Soviet Union by both foes and
friends of the work; partly, also, to the fact that
for the greater success of this phase of Jewish
reconstruction work it was necessary to resort to
assistance from outside sources, chief among
which was the American Jewish Joint Distribution
committee which operates in the Soviet Union
through the Agrojoint. The work was put on an
organized basis in 1924, when by a decree of the
Soviet government, the Comzet, a government
committee for Jewish land settlement, was formed.
As a result of the efforts of such organizations,
with the material assistance of the Soviet govern-
ment, a population of upward of 80,000 Jews has
been settled on 302,000 dessiations of land in
Southern Ukraine, Northern Crimea and White
Russia during the four years, 1924-1927. The
total Jewish agricultural population in the Soviet
Union has reached 175,000 as against some 53,000
in 1913, and Jewish landholdings have increased
from 75,000 desaiatins in 1927.
However, the success attained so far in improv-
ing the economic conditions of the Jewish masses
in the Soviet Union has not been sufficient to
offset the burden of their economic heritage. A
large number, roughly estimated at from 600,000
to 800,000 out of a Jewish population of about
2,800,000, are still without any apparent means
of existence. Although Jews in increasing num-
bers are finding employment in the Soviet indus-
tries, this channel is hardly sufficient to absorb the
natural increase of population. The only pos-
sibility which offers speedier relief for the mass
of the "declassed" Jews in the Soviet Union is
colonization and land settlement.
The political significance of Jewish coloniza-
tion in the Soviet Union arises from the possi-
bility of the ultimate formation of a Jewish au-
tonomous republic. It has been conceded by all
concerned that the success of the work and the
interests of the settlers require that the coloniza-
tion be conducted on a large scale and concen-
trated on continuous stretches of land. Such con-
ditions would naturally bring about the creation
of a Jewish majority in a defined area. Under the
Soviet system and in accordance with the na-
tional policy of the Soviet government such a ma-
jority would enjoy autonomous rights.

THE

GIIETTO MESSENGER. By
Abraham Burstein. Bloch
Publishing Co., New York ($2).

Six years ago, Rabbi Abraham
Burnstein inaugurated a series of
stories in the now defunct Jewish
Daily News (Tageblato, and he
called the hero "Abie the Messen-
ger Boy."
In this series, "Abie," who is
only 70, and a telegraph messenger
buy, tells many thinge./ Ile dis-
cusses the holidays, he speaks of
Gentile-Jewish relations, he play.)
y.
philanthropist, preacher, profes-
sor, impersonates heroes and lead-
ers, settles disputes, describes the
Jewish viewpoint on anything and
everything.
The author has taken CO of the
tales which appeared in the Tage-
hiatt, and Bloch Publishing Co.
has just issued these in one vol-
ume under the name of "The
Ghetto Messenger."
As an observant Jew, "Abie"
naturally speaks with knowledge
of all things Jewish. When he
describes a holiday he knows how
it is observed. When he discusses
matrimony he displays a knowl-
edge of the background of the cus-
toms of the ghetto in Europe. At
the same time, he has become im-
bued with the spirit ofiewish life
in this country, and he knows the
mannerisms of the Hebrew teach-
er, the ways of the politician, life
on the East Side of New York.
This is indeed an interesting
series of short stories.

DR. M. EHRENPREIS'S
"SOUL OF THE EAST"
WILL APPEAR SOON

"The Soul of the East," exper-
iences and reflections of Dr. Mar-
cus Ehrenpreis, Grand Rabbi of
Sweden, which .was to have been
published some months ago by the
Viking l'ress of New York is to
appear during early Autumn, ac-
cording to B. W. Iluebsch, the pub-
lisher.
Mr. Iluebsch writes to the edi-
tor of The Chronicle:
"The author has made a number
of revisions for the later editions,
which the success in the original
Swedish necessitated, and some of
these are calculated to enhance the
book's appeal, particularly be-
cause of the changes with regard
to such matters as related to the
particular time of the author's visit
to the East. In its original form
certain facts that refer to the par-
[jailor date of the author's obser-
vation were conspicuous in the
book, and these have now been re-
duced so as not to interfere with
the perspective of the work as a
whole. Its freshness will be no
less for the postponement.
"Dr. Ehrenpreis told me when
I sills him in Stockholm in Novem-
ber about plans for various tran,o-
lotions and he confirmed this NI
a letter just received. lie himself
is preparing the German text for
early publication in Berlin and Pr.
Stolz of Lemberg is translating the
hook into Polish from the German
text. I have before me a copy of
the Dutch edition, which has been
quite enthusiastically received in
Holland."
The early announcement of the
publication of Dr. Ehrenpreis'
book stated:
"There are guide-books aplenty
to places and things, but of hooks
that reveal the true meaning of
travel there can not be too many.
Dr. Ehrenpreis traversed the new
Balkans, Greece, Egypt and Pales-
tine, well equipped, culturally, to
evaluate with precision new sights
arid new peoples. This travel-
journal is all the more effective
for being subjective: the mind on
which ideas, events and places
have registered is more thrilling
than a description of the things
themselves.
"Due to the tradition in which
we are reared, a visit to the East
is like returning home, for every
one of the great religions was
cradled in Asia. Contrasts are
everywhere evident. The Euro-
pean aproaches life from the out-
side, the Asiatic from within. Asia
constitutes a spiritual entity de-
spite variety of race, language and
faith. Its hour has come, the air
is heavy with the Spring from

"Dr. Ehrenpreis is a true c.ismo
polite. An Austrian Jew, even
tually he became Grand Rabbi of
Bulgaria, then Grand Rabbi of
Sweden. A similar post was of-
fered to him in Givece but he de -
clined. It is evident from his
book that he is not only a scholar
but an alert connoisseur of the
world about him. A master ,if
languages, he wrote the present
work in Swedish and thus evoked
the astonished praise of the lead-
ing. Scand

inavia
ors, not the least enthusiastic being
Selma Lagerog."

A Review of Vol. 1 "The Hebrew
Physici•n," by Dr. Noah E.
Aronstam.

Under the able editorial man-
agement of Dovtor Moses Einhorn
and Dater Asher Goldenstein of
New York, a new medical publica-
tion has made its initial appear.
ance.
This is the only Hebrew Medi-
cal Journal published outside of
Palestine. It contains articles on
general medical topics and has a
special section devoted to new He-
brew medical terminology and a
medical biography dealing with
contributions of distinct and par-
ticular ethnic interest to the Jew-
ish race per se.
The medical Hebrew terminol-
ogy deserves special consideration
on account of its etymology or de-
rivation. Three methods were
adopted in order to bring it in ac-
cord with accepted usage and
nomenclature or their proximal
equivalents.
The first method pursued was
perhaps the easiest and consists in
the transliteration of Greek or
Latin terms into Hebrew letters.
The ,second method was to search
for equivalents in the vast domain
of Talmudic and Biblical literature,
while the third method was to in-
vent new terms, i. an artificial
terminology or word coinage.
A glossary of new terms is ap-
pended to facilitate. a better com-
prehension of the text for those
who are not thoroughly familiar
with the• modern Hebrew nomen-
clature.
Two articles merit special at-
tention, viz: one on Acute H aemor-
an
rhagic Pcreatitis
('Delek Tat-
kibith Irmamei harif) by Dr. A.
Goldenstein, and the other on Per-
tussia (Zakath) by Dr. l'aul Lut-
tinges. In these two articles we
may readily discern how terms
were originated and adopted, how
equivalents were formed and how
therapeutic expressions were made
to conform with acepted Latin and
Greek sources.
This publication is a distinct
and valuable departure in the field
of experimental scientific terminol-
ogy as well as a timely contribu-
tion to medical science.
One is eagerly awaiting subse-
quent issues, which according to
the prospectus, will soon he out.
It is hoped that such an undertak-
ing will be crowned with the suc-
cess it no richly deserves.

Globus Press Enters Field of
Book-Publishing.

The Globus Press, the first
American book publishing enter-
prise having world-wide affiliations,
enters the field of books with a
definite and rather unique aim. It
desires not only to bring out in
English works of outstanding merit
by American and European auth-
ors, but also to secure for such
works simultaneous publication in
other countries.
It is the conviction of those at
the head of the Globus Press (315
Second avenue, New York City)
that not nearly enough American
authors, even of first rank, are ade-
quately known abroad.
The Globus Press is now pre-
paring a list of autumn books of
unusual caliber, and the publish-
ers hereby extend an invitation to
American authors' of every cate-
gory, particularly those with an
urge to interpret (in fiction or
otherwise) present-day America to
the rest of the world.
