What the Free Press Hasn't Learned.
Last Sunday's editorial in the Detroit Free Press,
ignominiously and ungraciously titled "The Failure of
Zionism," reveals that there are two things which this
newspaper hasn't learned : It is yet to learn editorial
accuracy, and it should take a few lessons in being nice.
The Free Press bases its editorial on a statement by
Dr. Stephen S. Wise that "Zionism is dead," By ac-
cepting this statement as a fact, without reading the
complete address of Dr. Wise, and by interpreting it
further to mean that the Palestinian movement is a
failure, it has committed the worst error possible in
journalism. In the first place, Dr. Wise (lid not speak
of the failure of Zionism as such, but of political Zion-
ism in the event the present Agency pact is accepted.
Secondly, Dr. Wise merely expressed an opinion on a
question of policy in connection with the establishment
of the Jewish Agency, the coming into existence of
which is in itself a triumph for the cause of Jewish un-
ity for Palestine. We could quote innumerable achieve-
ments in Palestine to show that the Free Press has
erred. It is enough, however, that we point to the fact
that the Free Press based its editorial on the quotation
of less than a half dozen lines from an unusually
lengthy address, thus committing a grave journalistic
error.

Here is a letter that arouses me from my lethargy.
While it refers to something that is specifirally of Pitts-
burgh interest, yet it suggests a subject that is of general
interest to us CO Jews:
A Valuable and Welcome Addi•
tion to the Study of the
Book of Isaiah
A
Review of Professor Charles Cutler Torrey's Bril-
liant and Thought-Compelling Book,
"The Second Isaiah."
Dear Mr. Josepth: •
I notice that whenever you mention the Falk
Clinic (for the benefit of readers outside of
Pittsburgh, the Falk Clinic was presented to the
University of Pittsburgh by two prominent Pitts-
burgh Jews, Maurice Falk and his brother, the late
Leon Falk.—C. II. J.), you warm up to the sub-
ject; in fact, get real hot under the collar about
it. The reason is this: A couple of weeks ago I
happened to speak to some I'itt students and we
mentioned this subject. They said in their opin-
ion it was a shame to have given the money to the
Pitt Medical School as the doors of that school are
practically closed to Jewish students. When any
Jewish young man or woman wishes to study
medicine, he or she must leave home and go are-
where; sometimes hundreds of miles away to
pursue their studies.
Is that correct? You ought to be in a position
to know the facts. If it is true, as these young
students stated, then the donation was surely mis-
placed as there are other medical schools that are
more liberal and whose faculties are too broad-
minded to take a cue from Rumania.
