Herbert H. Leh man—Practical Idealist.
Herbert H. Lehman I, Lieutenant Governor of New
York State, is more tha n a philanthropist. Ile is today
among the leading soc ially-minded Jews in the world
who are not only giving f of their time and their money,
but are proving most p tactical idealists in helping solve
the social and economic problems of the day.
Last month Mr. L eliman subscribed the sum of
$1,000,000 to a new N ew York banking group which
he was instrumental in forming for the purpose of sav-
ing the deposits of po or people in a bankrupt trust
company. This act, u nheralded and unhailed, is Be-
serving of more praise t han all the other charitable acts
of New York's Lieute Governor,—and Mr. Leh-
man has, by his recen t contributions, placed himself
among the leading Je wish philanthropists of the day.
Now comes anothe r accomplishment to the credit
of Mr. Lehman. Actin rag as Governor Franklin Roose-
velt's representative, 1 l e was largely responsible for
bringing peace to the garment industry of New York
and ending the strike of 30,000 workers. For such
services he has earned the gratitude of the largest corn-
munity in the world, a nd has added another point to
his credit as a fine and public spirited man.

Prof. Otto Warburg's 70th Birthday.
One of the most lov able Jewish leaders will be sev-
enty years old tomorroN ✓ (July 20), and throughout the
world Jews will, in som e form or other, make a holiday
of this occasion. For Zionists particularly the birthday
of Professor Otto Wart burg will be a signal for jubila-
tion and well-wishes t ) a man whose contributions to
the upbuilding of Pales tine are among the finest monu-
ments to Jewish genius in the Jewish Homeland.
Professor Warburg ,—botanist, author, professor,
for many years consid ered the outstanding botanical
authority in the world ,—member of an assimilationist
family, was won over tc ) Zionism very early. A scheme
of his for the formation of an Agricultural Experiment
Station in Palestine wi is accepted by the Sixth World
Zionist Congress in 1 906, and proved an important
landmark in practical o agricultural effort in the Land of
Israel. In 1911 Profes sor Warburg became a member
of the Inner Actions Committee of the World Zionist
Organization, and late r succeeded David Wolfsohn as
president of the world movement. In the course of his
activities for the cause of a Jewishly rebuilt Palestine
he, like the founder of the movement, Dr. Theodor
Herzl, sacrificed his e afire fortune. Nothing was too
menial for him in his efforts, whether it was to travel
as propagandist or as resident of Palestine where he
placed his great scient ific knowledge at the service of
his movement, especial ly for the advancement of colon-
ization work.
The intense love of ' Palestine of this noble and un-
assuming man was not confined to sentiment, but was
also translated into wo rds of great practicality. Proof
of this is to be found not only in the works he estab-
lished, but also in his iddresses at World Zionist Con-
greases. Professor Wa rburg believed,—and this belief
later became the rule in Zionist quarters,—that Jews
must earn their right to Palestine economically. At
the Seventh Congress he expressed this policy in the
following words:
Their right to the Is ind by reason of their having pos-
teased it two thousand years ago is not a sufficient claim;
they must create a mod ern title, which would consist in the
fact that Palestine depe nded economically upon the Jews,
owing its progress to Je wish Initiative and resources.
Practical expressio • was given to this view when
there was founded, um her his chairmanship, the Pales-
tine Commission, whic guided all Palestine activities
before and during the war, and which preceded the
formation of the presen it Palestine Zionist Executive.
To' Professor Warbt irg indirectly goes the credit for
having been the first t co be responsible for interesting
in the Palestine project ; a group of American assimila-
tionist Jews, some bitte r anti-Zionists. When the Sixth
Congress accepted his proposal for the formation of
an agricultural experi ment station, the late Aaron
Aaronsohn, who was ki lied in an aeroplane on his way
to Paris in May 1919, was commissioned by Professor
Warburg to study the hybridization of wild wheat. We
are told by Nahum So folow, in his "History of Zion-
ism," that, after painst aking investigation, Aaronsohn
found a few ears of wil d wheat growing on the declivi-
ties of Mount Hermon, Ind that the scientific world was
much interested in this discovery because of its rela-
Lion to the possibilities of dry farming in arid regions.
As a delegate of the Zionist Organization Aaronsohn
traveled in Northern Africa, Southern Europe and
other parts of the glob e, in the interests of this scien-
title mission, and in 19 10 came to this country and in-
terested the United Sta tes Department of Agriculture
in his project. He col laborated on this subject with
this department which published an official bulletin by
him on "Agricultural an d Botanical Explorations in Pal-
estine."
The direct result of Aaronsohn's activities, and in-
of Professor Warburg, w.as the
directly therefore
those 18, 1910, of the Jewish Agricul-
formation
on February
iyiztzing tz hiztzkylvtil,
tural Experiment Station, a New York corporation, with
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago as president; Morris Loeb
of New York, vice-president ; Paul M. Warburg of New
York, treasurer; Ilenrietta Szold of New York, secre-
tary. The corporation outlined as its objects
the establishment, maintenance and support of agricultural
experiment stations in Palestine and other countries; the
development and improvement of cereals, fruit and vege-
tables indigenous to Palestine and neighboring lands, the
production of new species therefrom and their distribution
elsewhere; the advancement throughout the world, and the
giving instruction in new and improved methods of farm-
ing.
Thus, almost two decades before the formation of
the Jewish Agency, through the scientific efforts for
Palestine of Professor Warburg, men like Mr. Rosen-
wald, who even today is an outstanding example of
stubborn enmity to the Palestine ideal, were enrolled
in a practical effort for the Holy Land, and through this
American corporation demonstration fields were situ-
ated at Atlit, at the foot of Mount Carmel, and sub-sta-
tions were established at Chedera, in the neighborhood
of Petach Tikvah and elsewhere,
Professor Warburg's vision told him that through
practical effort must come success for Palestine, and
his contributions to the movement have been among
the most practical. Thanks to his experiments and ef-
forts, great progress has been made not only in Pales-
tine colonization work, but also in the establishment of
unity among the Zionists and those who opposed their
dreams.
Accomplishments like Professor Warburg's have
earned the worldwide greetings this modest and truly
great man is certain to receive on his seventieth birth-
day tomorrow.

A Battle Over Jewish Beauties.
It is interesting to note in connection with the choice
of Miss Goldarbeitter as "Miss Universe" that Jewish
papers were over-hasty, as usual, in proclaiming her a
full-blooded Jewess. The American Hebrew of New
York, for example, referred to her as "a modest, soft-
spoken brunette, the daughter of devout Jewish par-
ents." As a matter of fact Miss Goldarbeiter, as we
refer to her, is only a half-Jewess. To quote from a
Jewish Telegraphic Agency report: "When Miss Gold-
arbeiter arrived in New York with her mother, Mrs.
Goldarbeiter denied to newspapermen that her daugh-
ter is Jewish. Miss Goldarbeiter, herself, insisted
she is Jewish. The genealogical tree of the Goldar-
beiter family, according to the J. T. A. report, shows
that Miss Goldarbeiter is the offspring of Christian-
Jewish marriages for two generations. Her paternal
grandmother was the daughter of a prominent Chris-
tian family who embraced Judaism. List's mother is a
Christian.
Echoes of the Ford Case.
According to testimony by Paul Siewert, German
secret agent, at the trial in Berlin of Vladimir Orloff,
Peter Pavlonovsky and others accused of forging Rus-
sian documents, Henry Ford, through a New York at-
torney, paid Pavlonovsky $7,000 for documents which
were to be used in the suit brought by Herman Bern-
stein against the Detroit automobile magnate. Accord-
ing to an Associated Press report:
Siewert testified that Boris Brasol came to Berlin in
1925 to negotiate with Pavlonowsky, who furnished him
with much material. Some of this he thought was genuine‘,
while some was falsified. He expressed a belief that the
fabricated material came from Orloff.
Among the documents was one signed by the head of
the foreign department of the Gaypayou, whose signature
also appears on one of the documents included in the so-
called Borah letters shown to be false.
While the peace pipe has been lit on several occa-
sions, and smoked by Jews and Mr. Ford, it is well that
we remember that the unpleasantness of the entire
Ford affair, as well as of dozens of other anti-Semitic
occurrences, were the results of forged documents,
among them the forged documents which were hailed
as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Peace be-
tween Jews and Ford, therefore, need not check what-
ever steps might be taken to uncover all the outrage-
ous libels caused by forged documents. The truth has
partially come out of the Berlin trial, which resulted in
Orloff and Pavlonovcky receiving 4-month prison sen-
tences, and the mightiest anti-Semitic swindles may yet
be bared in all their nudeness and meanness.
WASHINGTON JEWISH
MIRROR
, Charles If. Joseph
ONE night in London I climbed into a Cook's Tourist
bus to "take in" the East End of London. That
included, of course, the Limehouse district that every
detective story writer has used at some time or other in
his career to thrill us detective story "fans." But what
I wanted to ITC more than anything else was the widely
advertised Whitechapel district which is the ghetto of
London. Then I remembered that Zangwill was born in
Petticoat Lane and thought that I would like to see that
street. Well, the entire trip was a complete disappoint-
ment. Once you have spent some time in New York's
East Side, the Jewish district of London seems a village
compared with it. I had been carried away by the vast-
ness of London, a great, huge, sprawling, ungainly figure
of a city and forgotten that the number of Jews in all
England was less than 300,000. And it didn't (limn on
me until the bus reached the ghetto (which the guide
insisted nn referring to as the "jetto"). It was clearly
evening, about 9 o'clock, and there were no more Jews
about than one would find in the state of Maine (except-
ing camping season).

I MISSED the discrimination that one finds in this land of
the free. One doesn't have to inquire about in gum-
shoe fashion, so to speak, to discover whether Jews are
wanted at this or that hotel. I heard practically nothing
of the sort. In the United States that is quite as keen
and important an keno as prohibition, the blue laws and
teaching of evolution in the public schools. But appar-
ently English people have other things to think about
than to exclude Jews from this or that hotel or apart-
ment or what not. The only time throughout the entire
trip that I reminded myself that I was a Jewish journal-
ist was when a lady on board ship told sit that she over-
heard the millionaire husband and manager of an ex-
movie star remark that he liked the boat but he was
annoyed because there were so many Jews aboard. I
looked at him and then I decided that he really was not
worth while getting annoyed at. That was the only time
that I heard a discourteous word from any person on the
subject of Jews.
WIZEN
The selection of Miss Lisl Goldarbeiter, 20-year-old
half-Jewess of Vienna, as "Miss Universe," at the Gal-
veston, Texas, international beauty contest, recalls the
participation in beauty contests throughout the world
of other Jewish girls.
Miss Elizabeth Simon, who won the title "Miss Hun-
gary" in the contests in her country, was particularly
subjected to abuse when it was learned that she was a
Jewess. Wherever Miss Simon made an appearance,
she was hissed and told to "go back to Palestine." What
a pity that the feelings of Hungarian anti-Semites
should continue to be hurt by the selection of another
girl, in whose veins flows Jewish blood, as the cham-
pion beauty of all the world.
Miss Simon, it will be recalled, was since chosen
"Miss Europe" and did not participate in the American
contest, but now objects to the choice of a "Miss Uni-
verse" at Galveston, Texas, saying that "Miss Universe"
can only be chosen at a contest at Deuville.
But in Poland Jewish beauties fared much worse.
There prejudice against "zhidovkas" was so strong that
Jews—and our people will imitate!—held a beauty
contest all their own. Thus Miss Sophy Oldak, 20-year-
old daughter of a Warsaw merchant, was not so long
ago heralded as "Miss Judea," with which title she was
dubbed when she won the Jewish beauty contest.
"Miss Judea" is a perfectly fine title for a champion
beauty in Palestine, but the fact that Jews in Poland
chose a beauty of their own does not speak so well
for the mimicking and imitativeness of Polish Jews.
But this, of course, does not absolve the Poles from
their sins.

I reached this country and had nn opportunity
to read the newspapers I discovered that the Yiddish
press had taken objection to the attitude of the officials of
New York, as well as that of the nation at large, toward
Schreiber, the boy who stowed away in an airplane, thus
endangering the lives of the aviators. I knew very little
of the entire incident and had not followed it while away.
It so happened that Schreiber was on board the Levia-
than on my homeward trip. Of course, he became the
subject of general conversation but the attitude of nearly
all the passengers was that of complete indifference,
mixed with resentment at his escapade. I then began to
piece the story together. I didn't know until I reached
home that he is a Jew. If I had known that while on
the ship I certainly would have had a talk with him. But
I can assure the editors of the Jewish press that the boy
was criticized as much by Jews as Gentiles. That the
question of his being a Jew was never mentioned, because
very few must have been aware of that fact. Therefore,
no prejudice could be charged against his critics. I am
surprised that Jewish journals should charge anti-Jewish
feeling against those officials who refused to show him
honor. Why should they? He did a foolhardy thing
which, if the risk had been entirely his own might have
carried praise, but when by doing what he did he jeopar-
dized the lives of others, it was quite proper that he
should have been treated as he was. It is the veriest stuff
and nonsense to say that the Jews are not wanted in the
air just because Levine and this boy were not honored as
Lindbergh or Chamberlain or Byrd. There was no reason
why they should. I saw the stowaway the last night on
shipboard. Ile was an intelligent, well-mannered chap. I
thought entirely too intelligent and alert to pull off such
a fool trick. But I assure my esteemed Yiddish con-
temporaries that there is no Jewish question involved.
following letter was received early
T HE
publication was unavoidably delayed:
in June but
I read in your most interesting column, ''Ran-
dom Thoughts," in the California Jewish Review
of May 31, 1929, the comment made by Dr. Jacob
Katz, re Cardinal O'Donnell and Dr. Einstein.
With all due respect to Dr. Katz and to his
ideas, it seems to me that Cardinal O'Donnell can
very well express his opinion of the Einstein
theory, the same as Dr. Einstein can express his
conception of God, without being accused of hand-
ing down dicta outside their jurisdiction. Theirs,
were individual opinions, as such, and as individ-
uals, they surely have a right to their opinions.
But, you commented in saying that you were
puzzled in that Dr. Einstein could be a Zionist, and
yet not believe as a Jew in God. Can't a Jew be
a Zionist without believing as a Jew in God? And,
what is this belief as a Jew in God, that you re or
to? Must a Jew, to be considered a Jew, belie
in a God who is concerned with the actions and
affairs of men? Is this the Jewish conception of
God? And, as Dr. Einstein's more magnanimous
and reasonable conception of a God who concerns
Himself with maintaining the harmony of the
universe, the wrong conception of God, and non-
Jewish? Must all the minds interested in Zion-
ism, believe in a personal God, in order to be ac-
cepted as JEWISH minds? In fact, what is the
conception of God, a Jewish mind must have, in
order to be recognized as a JEWISH mind? Can't
a Jew have a broad conception of God, as he
sees fit, and be a Jew at the same time? What
is a Jew, then? Must one believe in a personal
God, in a cruel god, also in "Geinam," in order
to be recognized as a Jew?
I have had the same conception of a God, as
Dr. Einstein has expressed, and I have believed in
such a God for many years. Likewise, there are
thousands of Jews who, in my estimation, have
the same belief. And, for this very reason, have
we all lost our identity as Jews?
I consider myself so infinitesimal in comparison
with God, that I am not as conceived as to believe,
or even dare imagine, that God is concerned with
me, concerned with my actions, concerned with
If the
my actions, concerned with my affairs.
human mind can hardly conceive the magnitude
of the universe, how can it conceive the God, who
is the Master and rules this universe?
I would very much appreciate your comment
in this matter, as I am anxious to know if I can
still call myself a Jew, even though I believe in a
God, quite different from the personal God, most
Jews belie:e in.
Very truly yours,
J. H. HABIF.
IT SO happened that one of the very first periodicals I
read after this letter was received was The Reflex,
that exceptionally interesting magazine edited by Dr.
Melamed. And on the cover page I saw "Albert Ein.
stein's God"—an editorial. I read it with considerable
interest and found that Dr. Melamed had answered my
correspondent's question insofar as it related to Einstein
as a reliigious Jew, and I have taken the liberty of using
a portion of it:
Jewish religion is indissolubly connected with
a belief in a personal God and he who denies the
personality of God may be a good Jew in every
other respect but a religious he is not, and Albert
Einstein, in spite of the Hechsher given him by the
Gaon of the New York Institutional Synagogue, is
not a religious Jew and should not be considered as
such, and if Judaism were religion only, as it is
not, Albert Einstein would not be a Jew at all.
Although he is not at all a religious Jew he may
yet be considered by many a religious man.
THAT statement of Dr. Melamed's I agree with com-
pletely, insofar as it relates to the definition of a
religious Jew. But I am not yet satisfied that a Jew who
is not a Jew religiously can be considered a Jew. I con-
fess it is one of the most puzzling questions that has
been raised at least in American Jewry. It a Jew gives
up his faith, leaves his people and becomes a Christian,
is he still a Jew? If he is, then the only test of whether
a man is a Jew is by birth. That question has never been
answered to my satisfaction. To me it is still an ano-
maly that a Jew who doesn't believe in a God can be a
Zionist.
By Hillel, The Observer
WIZEN
we told you recently
about the resolution of Mrs.
Kahn to pay $25,000 to the heirs
of each person murdered through
the enforcement of prohibition, we
did not realize what a storm her
bill in Congress would arouse. The
drys are up in arms, insisting that
the lady has made a veiled move
against prohibition.
She makes the claim, of course,
that her opinion on prohibition
has nothing to do with the justice
of her plea in behalf of the fami-
lies of persons sent to the grave
through enforcement. Neverthe-
less her dry enemies have bitterly
attacked her nod attributed her ad-
vocacy of the bill to her wet incli-
nations. Letters are piling it, sonic
with compliments, many with se-
vere criticisms and bitter castiga-
tion.
Worse than that, she has been
scored because of her Jewishness,
too. "What else can you expect of
a Jew?" was one of the phrases
put in writing by a mid-western
dry worker. "I hope the country
will learn not to send any more
Jews to Congress," was another of
these vicious comments on her pro-
posal.
Those unreasonable remarks dis-
turb the lady not at all, but they're
not pleasant fruit to reap for a
humanitarian effort. As a matter
of fact, some claim that even a
hundred per cent dry could vote
in favor of her bill, which is
strictly humanitarian. Her views
on prohibition are not a secret, but
they have nothing to do with this
bill.
"My stand on the prohibition
question is so well known that it
is hardly necessary for me to state
that I most heartily favor a modi-
fication of the so-called Volstead
Act, and in taking this position I
am not attempting in any manner
whatsoever to interfer or tamper
with the Constitution of the United
States.
"The eighteenth amendment of
the Constitution . prohibited 'in-
toxicating" beverages, the eigh-
teenth amendment also placed defi-
nitely upon the Congress the duty
of stating what beverages should
be considered 'intoxicating.' Con-
gress passed the enforcement act
—popularly known as the Volstead
Act—in pursuance of the duty
thus imposed upon it. It will read-
ily be seen, therefore, that the mi-
celle(' Volstead Act is merely the
enforcing act of the eighteenth
amendment, and like any other act
of Congress the Volstead Act is
subject to amendment."
Thus has Mrs. Kahn spoken many
times, not only to her own con-
stituents, but in the public prints
and before the House.
"What can you expect of a
Jew?" A bitter pill to swallow.
AND still they keep asking for
"more Hershfield stories on
Very well, then
immigration!"
here is another good one. It con
cerns a Jewish boy who has been
in this country fine' years as :
"student," and wants to stay a
little longer.
Isidore Hershfield, the Washing-
ton representative of the Hies, ex-
erted his efforts in behalf of this
young man in order that his five-
year permission for studies in this
country might he extended another
two years. The board, in exam-
ining the history of the ease, no-
ticed that the Jewish youth had
spent his first four years in the
Yeshiva, evidently preparing to be
a rabbi. The last year, however,
was devoted to pharmacy, and he
now fished for two more years in
order to be able to finish his
course in the latter subject.
Said one of tha judges of the
Immigration Board of Review to
Mr. Hershfield: "I can't under-
stand this case. Is this fellow go-
ing to be a minister or a druggist?
What relationship is there between
theology and pharmacy? Is chem-
istry a post-graduate subject to di-
vinity?"
"Well," said Mr. Hershfield,
with a twinkle in his eye, "this
young man has observed American
Jewish life carefully and has no-
ticed that quite frequently wor-
shippers fall asleep during the
rabbi's sermon. Perhaps ho is
studying chemistry to find some
formula with which to keep them
awake."
"Not a bad'idea," said the chief
of the board of review. "we will
grant his extension if you think
he is studying pharmacy in all seri-
ousness."

TALE FROM THE TALMUD
Once a man journeyed from Pal-
estine to Babylon. While at his
meal he noticed a fierce fight be-
tween two birds, which ended in
the apparent death of the one.
When the other, however, noticed
Cj
that its companion was dead, i
hastened to search for a specie
kind of herb which it brought and
laid on the beak of the corpse, am
soon thereafter the dead bird re
vived.
The traveler saw this with as-
tonishment and procured a sample
of the herb on journeying further,
he met with a dead lion, and con-
cluded to make the experiment on
him. He succeeded in reviving the
lion, but no sooner had the latter
regained his strength than he tore
his benefactor to pieces.

With the Scandinavian quota of immigration cut down
