David A. Brown, as national chairman of
the Palestine Emergency Fund, deserves
the gratitude of every Jew for the ener-
getic manner in which he is pursuing his
present job. But thanking the leader, and
the contributions of individuals, will not
heal the situation. It is important that

To Work!

Thus it has been in all the history of the
Jewishpeople, and thus it no doubt will be
in the present Palestine crisis. First we
mourn and lament, then we protest the in-
dignities imposed upon us. And although
the wounds are not completely healed
thereby, our people has shown the power to
be able to get back to work immediately to
rebuild what vandals have destroyed,
whether in the name of religious or racial
or national hate.

Enough tears have been shed in the pres-
ent crisis. The protests have been voiced.
Now is the time to rebuild what has been
destroyed and to build another layer on
top of the previous structure. "To work!"
should be the slogan of every Jew.

First, of course, must come relief to the
.needy. The report that mere than 4,200

wounded are in grave danger and in im-

that the Arab sees the hand of British imperial-
ism in the mandate for the Holy ',and. To his

primitive mind the Jewish settler may seem a
threat against his culture and territory. Mur-
der can become confused in a muddled way

with the self-determination of small states.

But what can be said for the apartment

the employer or the college president who sets

up barriers against his fellow citizens? Amert-
cans who do these things can hardly contend
they are fighting to preserve their religion or
their national origins. Organized Christianity

American ideals would not suffer if education

upon no other basis than intellectual merit.

This is one of the evidences of the trag-
edy of the Jewish minority which is every-
where suspected and hated and is not
offered the sympathy of Christianity even
in its greatest tragedy. There still remains
the one hope of the dissemination of a
purely Jewish culture from a Jewish cen-
ter, in order thereby to win that recogni-
tion which we do not get as Jews but which
now goes to the credit of others. Without
even this.hope, the situation would be a

BELIEVE the following appeal for funds for the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency deserves the immedi-
ate consideration of every Jew in this country. I
have not been requested to give space to this but I
am so convinced of the extraordinary value of keep-
ing, alive this Jewish news gathering agency, par-
ticularly at this time, that I am eager for the op-
portunity to bring the matter to the attention of our
readers. Remember, men anti women of American
Jewry, that this agency has made possible the
news you have been reading in the daily newspapers
concerning the Palestine tragedy. You perhaps
have noticed the initials "J. T. A." in many of the
news dispatches. I personally urge you with all the
emphasis to help this cause. Send something.

When Zedekiah appears, Jere-

debased, blinded, humiliated, as
was previously prophesied by Jere-

him. and Jeremiah again displays
the great spirit and faith that be-

he tells the king:

And the Chaldeana discuss
among themselves their victory
over Jerusalem, which resulted in
failure to conquer. They marvel
at the mighty God of the Hebrew
who, although he could not prevent
the destruction of their temple
and land, nevertheless kept the
people itself intact, and the
strength of Israel is expressed in
the closing words in the drama,
spoken by a Chaldean soldier:

Thus Zweig has not only written
the most forceful indictment of
war, but has at the same time ex-
plained the survival of Israel,
whose mission is peace and who is
therefore in spirit unconquerable,
even though he has been beaten in
body. .
Zweig's "Jeremiah" is a great
work, comparable to the greatest
classics.

IT'S going to be tough sledding for the army of
Jewish boys who are trying to crash the legal
profession (slang seems so apt to drive home my
meaning). Heretofore they have been worrying
about restrictions in colleges. But for some time
past there have been signs on the horizon that
state board examiners were likely to require other
than intellectual tests as to the fitness of admission
to the practice of law. A year or so ago the New
York Bar Association made no bones of the fact
that there were too many aliens trying to practice
law there. But their description of aliens meant
Jews unless the reader was dumb.
So here we have some concrete evidence of the
intention to separate the sheep from the goats. Of
course it may not be amiss to remind the eminent
gentlemen who are to pass upon the character and
general fitness of the applicants for the Bar that
there are some Gentiles too whose reputations are
pretty much besmirched. I am quite sure that there
are some rascals practicing law who ought to be in
jail instead of the courthouse. And not all of them
are Jews. But here is what I want to call your
attention to. Out of 2,500 students who took the
Few examinations in New York state 1,123 were
successful. And one of the examiners said:
It is unnecessary to conceal the fact that
these examinations are primarily intended to
separate the sheep from the goats. There are
entirely too many people studying law and
entirely too many lawyers.
So I would suggest that the Jewish boys should
not all try to be lawyers.
