Magnes Lends Comfort to the Enemy.
First reports on the stand taken by Dr.
Judah Leon Magnes, chancellor of the Ile-
brew University of Jerusalem, on Arab-
Jewish relations were interpreted as favor-
ing the repudiation of the Balfour Declara-
tion and the Mandate over Palestine. In
another statement, made to the Jewish
Daily Day of Nek . York by cablegram, Dr.
Magnes stated that he favored adherence
to the Mandate. but reiterated his stand in
favor of a parliament in Palestine on a bi-
national basis.
In view of the conflicting reports it is im-
possible to judge fairly on all issues in-
volved. Nevertheless, the untimeliness of
Dr. Magnes' statements, and the extreme
views expressed by Prof. Hugo Bergmann
of the Hebrew University on a question of a
parliament, granting in principle every-
thing to the Arabs and denying the sim-
plest rights to the Jews, merely lent com-
fort to the enemy. The statements of Drs.
Magnes and Bergmann caused the Arab. to
display "chutzpah" which spells danger,
and their new weapons are those placed in
their hands by these two Jewish educators.
That discomfort to the Jew in the present
emergency should have come from Jews is
a fact too painful to admit.
Greetings to the American Hebrew.
The Detroit Jewish Chronicle joins in
greeting its New York contemporary, the
American Hebrew, on its fiftieth anniver-
sary. Half a century of service has won for
this great journal the respect of the Ameri-
can Jewish community. The American He-
brew has nobly adhered to the principles
which it expressed in the editorial in its
first issue 50 years ago in the following
words:
"To disseminate the truth and the mor-
ality inspired in Israel; to spread the knowl-
edge of Jewish principles and literature;
to champion our brethren and to be their
untiring exponent unto our brothers of
other persuasion: these are the duties of
every 'American Hebrew.' "
Clemenceau—Defender of Dreyfus.
Georges Clemenceau is dead, but his
name will long live in world history.
The name of Clemenceau will long live
in Jewish history, especially in one of the
most recent chapters —in the story of the
Dreyfus Affair.
With a handful of literary giants, Cle-
menceau stood by Captain Alfred Dreyfus
during the darkest hours of his tragedy.
when his problem divided France and
threatened to divide Europe.
It was the great Emile Zola around whom
the Dreyfus defense centered. With the aid
of Bernard Lazare, M. Zola devoted him-
self to a study of all the documents in the
Dreyfus case until he convinced himself of
the Jew's innocence. When the time came
for action, he received his greatest encour-
agement from the three Clemenceau
brothers.
Georges Clemenceau had just established
the L'Aurore when the case shook the con-
science of the world. He opened its col-
umns to Zola who penned his famous "Let-
ter to Felix Faure," president of the French
Republic. Clemenceau suggested for the
letter the title "J'Accuse," by which it is
now one of the most famous documents in
all history.

Is Palestine News to Be Suppressed?
Published Weekly by The Jewish Chronicle Publialues c.. i.e.
Subscription, in Advance
• • •
a Rcei icus
Adding the puzzles arising from the un-
fortunate situation in Palestine is the report
of efforts on the part of the British Admin.
igtration to obtain control of the agency -
which disseminates news from the Holy
Land. The attempt at suppressing the activi-
ties of the Palestine Telegraphic Agency,
which is the Palestinian counterpart of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, adds to the
uneasiness with which Jews everywhere
watch the developments in the ancient
homeland.
We are surprised that a power like Great
Britain, with her traditions for justice,
should attempt, on the very heels of the
injuries inflicted upon us during the recent
riots, to add insult by depriving us of our
only means of keeping informed on the
events in the Jewish settlements, Surely
even the most biased Englishman will admit
that government-censored news is not the
sort of news people crave for. particularly
when the government is facing charges of
guilt in the riots, and news disseminated by
an agency controlled by the Palestine
government would be censored news.
We are not judging in advance on the
results of the findings of the parliamentary
commission of inquiry. now sitting in Pales-
tine, and we are awaiting its report patient-
ly. We hate to believe, however, that Brit-
ish honor and public opinion will permit
the suppression of the activities of an
agency which links Jewish life throughout
the world with that of Palestine.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency and its
Palestine branch are today the strongest
bonds between the various Jewries through-
out the world, and the breaking of links in
this chain are certain to do us great harm.
The unity of the Jewish people depends
upon the manner in which Jews everywhere
are informed of the status and well-being
of their fellow-Jews wherever they may be.
This unity must not be tampered with, and
it is to the interest of our people that the
only Jewish news agency in the world re-
main outside the control of any Jewish
party or any outside government. The
news disseminated must be free from such
control, else it will become internally
colored and externally checked; and if it
should become possible for Great Britain
to control news from Palestine, we run the
danger of similar control in Rumania, Hun-
gary, Poland, and then we shall be left in
the dark as to Jewish conditions through-
out the world.
Our news agencies are so important to
us that we must guard jealously against
their disruption. At the same time we dare
hope that the Palestine administration will
do nothing which will deprive us of such an
elementary right as that of brother keep-
ing in touch with brother through the me-
dium of news wires.
Hadassah's Annual Luncheon.
As Detroit }Iadassah prepares for its an-
nual $25 luncheon, it is well That the com-
munity be informed again of the importance
of this women's Zionist body to the Jewish
settlements in Palestine. It is to the great
credit of this organization, which brings
health to the inhabitants of Palestine, that
the correspondent of the New York Times
should have written, shortly after the re-
sent riots:
Much credit is due to the Hadassah Medical
Organization for its work from the very begin-
nine of the disturbances. It was the first on
hand to render medical treatment wherever
wounded were found and it handled the prob-
lem of feeding the refugees most efficiently
during the weeks before they were taken over
by the government.
Every element of the Jewish population
in Palestine was filled with admiration for
the work of the Hadassah medical unit, and
Dr. I. J. Kligler of the Hebrew University
wrote recently that the groups which stood
out admirably during the disturbances were
Ben Z•ie, the labor leader, and the Ha-
ganah (self-defense); Hadassah and Mr.
Kaznelson, the general assistant director of
Hadassah in Palestine, and the fine spirit
of the young people in the Jewish settle-
ment.
An organization with the achievement•
of Hadassah deserves the unstinted sup-
port of the American Jewish community,
and in our own city the test of such support
is the luncheon on Dec. 10. It is of great
importance that Detroit Jewish women do
their duty by Hadassah and make possible
the raising of the local quota of $15,000 at
the coming luncheon.

The modern Deborah is Fannie
Hurst, famous authoress, denicter
of the lowly but colorful life of
the poor. Miss Hurst is out with
an appeal to the women to strike.
But this time it is a strike not
for God or country, not even to
ameliorate the plight of the "ex-
ploited" workers. Miss Hur-t in-
stead, has unfolded her banner
with an appeal to women to strike
against the iniquity of the Paris
fashion designers who are seeking
to fasten the long skirt again on
fair America.
In a recent newspaper appeal
Miss Hurst contends that the mod-
ern condensed skirt is so very com-
fortable, and no adapted to modern
life with its automobiles, etc., etc.,
that the long skirt is as .incongru-
ous with these times as is the tal-

We are glad to note that many
dauntless males also are raliying
around the banner of Fannie.
Among these leaders is none other
than Gilbert Seldes, another bril-
liant Jewish author.
And we, with a million other
males throughout the country',
must content ourselves with simply
shouting: Bravo, Fannie! Keep up
the good fight for progress and

Max Lief, formerly dramatic

RESULTS OF A GAME OF

The recent death of Mrs. Isaac
L. Rice served largely to call at-
tention to the fight she had led on

teresting a figure as was Mrs. Rice,

—as a lawyer, an inventor and a
chess player. Indeed, according to
one story, it was his prowess as a
chess player which gave him his op-
portunity in the law.
On one occasion, it is said, a
rreat captain of industry watched
Rice playing a game of chess. He
saw Rice take hold of a game
which seemed lost from every an-
gle, and so maneuver his few re-
maining pieces as to check-mate
his opponent. The captain of indus-
try, the story goes, was so struck
by this playing that he decided
that anybody as good as that
ought to make a very good lawyer.
And so Rice was hired as the at-
torney of the great financial mag-
nate. and success in the legal pro-
fession sons was his.

Texas Jewish Herald. Rabbi Samuel Rosinger
says that for the past few years one of the leading
Christian ministers has attended the New Year
services at his synagogue and that the solemnity of
the Jewish service has so impressed him that at a
meeting of the ministerial association of that city
he was invited to rive a detailed description of the
Rosh Hashonah service. After a discussion of the
subject the association appointed a committee to
consider ways and means to influence the non-Jew-
ish community of Houston to observe the secular
New Year in as dignified a manner. It has always
been interesting to consider the difference between
the ways the Jew celebrate his New Year and the
way the world at large observes the civil New
Year. On one band there is a recognition of the
solemnity of the occasion. It is a time for prospect
and retrospect. And on the other hand the secular
New Year is celebrated with a riotous demonstra-
tion, which develops into an orgy of eating and
drinking.
IT MAY be that man's life should be limited to
three score years and ten—and according to the
Bible that snyone who is able to get past that hur-
dle is likely to have a miserable time of it the
remainder of his life. But when I see Judge Cohen
just about to celebrate his eighty-ninth birthday,
hale, hearty and active on the bench in Allegheny
county, Pa., I think that the Biblical wiseacre has
somehow made a mistake. There is no one of my
acquaintances who has • keener or more alert mind
than the judge, and he has invested a great deal of
tinie and energy off the bench to interest himself
actively in the Jewish life of Pittsburgh. Only the
other day a tipstaff from the Pittsburgh courthouse
called at my office with a message from Judge
Cohen, calling my- attention to the following item,
which he found in the course of his careful reading
of current periodicals. It just goes to show how
he finds time to keep abreast of the times.
THE article in question referred to • contribution
of $6,000 which was contributed to the building
fund of the Young Men's Christian Association of
Harrisburg, Pa., by Miss Mary Sachs. This contri-
bution was given in honor of Rabbi Philip Book-
staber of Harrisburg, and in recognition of his out-
standing work for the character building of "our
youth" and also for his efforts to create a better
understanding between Jew and Jew, Jew and Chris-
tian, Man and Man, the following tablet will be
placed in the Y. 31. C. A. building:

Rather unusual to say the least and worthy of a
place among interesting facts in present-day Jewish
life. Thank you, Judge Cohen, for calling my at-
tention to it. Keep on looking for other unique
items, it will make my job a whole lot easier!
SOMETIMES we have to get information from
headquarters to assure ourselves of the truth of
certain statements. While it has been generally
understood that there e gists an "undercover" policy
on the part of mans colleges to hold the admission
of Jewish students to the medical department to •
certain percentage, it has been left to the dean of
the St. Louis University School of Medicine to
make a definite statement on the subject. He told
the Association of American Medical Colleges that
"able Jewish students often are excluded on a pre-
text from medical schools." He further asserted
that the excuse for denying them a medical educa-
tion was the association's practice of grouping per-
sonality and poor scholarship as a basis for rejec-
tion. "These considerations," he said, "should be
separated entirely as a cause for refusal of admis-
sion to medical colleges. The combination of them
is unfair to the student and results in the exclusion
of the applicants for reasons other than lack of
ability."
THE dean in question is the Rev. A. Si, Sch•italla,
and from my own experience with one student
who was rejected by another medical college and
admitted to St. Louis University School I know that
he i5 correct when he says that he made a study of
the scholastic achievements of medical students at
his college, previously rejected by the admission
committee of from one to 25 other medical schools
and that there was little relation between the de-
cisions of the committees and subsequent scholastic
records of the rejected candidates. In other words
Jewish boys who have earned the right to a medi-
cal education based on ability have been denied
that right by as many as 25 medical schools JUST
BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS. These are facts
and I for one know that they cannot be successfully
contradicted. So Jewish students who have in mind
taking up medicine may prepare to find that being a
Jew is a real obstacle to obtaining a medical educa-
tion.
T HE last surviving member of the original firm of
Hart, Schaffner & Marx died the other day in
Chicago. Harry Hart, on the eve of his eightieth
birthday, was called to his eternal rest. He had
been preceded by his three partners, Max Hart,
Joseph Schaffner and Marcus Marx. 31r. Hart
typified the German-Jewish immigrant who came to
this country in the 18403 and who were the pio-
neers of the men's clothing industry in this country.
For several generations the manufacturing and the
retailing of men's clothes was largely in the hands
of the German-Jew. And to this day the old
names still survive: the Stein, Blocho, the Kirsh.
baums, the Sonneborns, the Kuppenheimers, the
Adler., and many others But the leader of them
all was Hart, Schaffner & Marx, whose trade name
became as intimately identified with clothing as
Heinz with pickles. Harry Hart belonged to that
mhool of American Jewry who gave their attention
first to their congregational life, then to philan-
thropic endeavor and left to the last their social
activities. He was president of Sinai Temple of
Chicago in the days of the great Emil G. Hirsch. He
found time to interest himself not alone in Jewish
activities but his sympathies were broad enough to
influence his effort in non-sectarian causes that
were worth-while, the most notable of which was
Hull House. It is good to recall that the high, ethi-
cal principles of business created by the Harts and
Schaffners and the Maraca have never been devi-
ated from in all the years of the existence of the
organization.
LOOKS very much as if Dr. Judah Magnet, chan-
I T cellor
of the Hebrew University in Palestine, has
made up his mind that so far as he is concerned
political Zionism has no place in his program. Ac-
cording to the news dispatches here is what Magnes
wants and I think he is absolutely right: Palestine
at an international holy land and as • home for Jew,
Christian and Moslem alike, the renunciation of all
ideas of Jewish political domination, the creation
of a Jewish cultural center as the only goal of Zion-
ism, and the establishment of a parliament as a solu-
tion to the Jewish-Arabproblem. Dr. 31agnes is
opposed, and very properly so, to the retention of
Jewish rights by bayonets in a land where the
majority of inhabitants oppose it. It was quite
natural that Dr. Magnes should bring upon his head
a storm of criticism, but knowing Marnes as I do
that won't bother him very much. His is the stuff
of which martyrs are made and if he believes he is
right he will allow neither threat nor favors to sway
him from his course. It's about time that some of
our extreme Zionist friends take stock of them-
selves. If they don't the first thing they know,
they will have to give way to those who are more
reasonably minded and appreciate the practical side
of the situation in Palestine.

CALVIN. COOLIDGE'S favorite
comedian was Al Jolson, a
Washington boy. If President
Hoover ever decided to have a fa-
vorite comedian, it may be another
Jewish lad—Eddie Cantor. The
president learned the other day
from Julius Rosenwald that Eddie
Cantor sent the Chicago merchant
prince a telegram about two weeks
ago, applying for a job as office
buy in Sears, Roebuck & Co. Her-
bert Hoover caught on to the joke
immediately, for he knew that
"Julius" had publicly announced
he would guarantee the stock mar-
ket holdings of all of his em-
ployees against loss during the
crash.
Julius Rosenwald told this story
at the White House during the now
famous businessmen's conference
called by the president, and you
may be sure that all of the Big
Business folks around the cabinet
table responded with a genuine and
hearty laugh. Rosenwald, by the
way, showed so much optimism at
this conference that the president
and every one attending the soiree
gained new courage, for they have
great faith in Mr. Rosenwald's
ability to foresee business trends
of the future accurately.
Rosenwald was not the only Jew
attending the series of conferences
at the White House, but we must
say there were mighty few others,

From the Hebrew After Rubeni
By DR. N. E. ARONSTAM
The following is a translation from the Hebrew of the poem
by Rubeni for which publication of the Doan Ilayom of Jeru-
salem was suspended for a number of days and the issue cons
tanning the poem confiscated.
In his task as translator, Pr. Aronstam had to wade through
Biblical parallelisms and with the aid of both modern and
classic lexicons completed a true and almost literal version of
this great poem.
Written in the face of terrible outrages in Palestine, this
poem has attracted attention throughout the world as a cry
