Or are you satisfied with the material suc-
cess of your work and are prepared to stop
with fund-raising? The caliber of future
leadership depends upon the answer that
will be given. if our young people, who
must in the future assume the responsibili-
ties of leadership, will keep themselves in-
formed on the workings of the Jewish
causes which must receive unstinted Jew-
ish support, our leadership will be the bet-
ter for it, and a soul and a heart will be
breathed into our campaigiT machines. But
if our young people will merely turn into
professional campaigners, then Jewry may
in the future suffer. The future is in the
hands of our young women, the guardians
of posterity.

READ an ',Ogle on Samuel . Untermyer in the
New Yorker the other day. G. It was written by
Alva Johnston. In a desire to pay a tilting tribute
to the genius of the "Little Giant" the author
effervesced.
Bat while I am willing to give Mr.
Unternlytor credit for a whole lot of things I must
challenge the accuracy of the statement that he
was relionsible for Mr. Ford's apology. Ile said
a lot of nasty things about Mr. Ford which I heartily
applauded at the time. He gave the flivver king
some uncomfortable moments but that he brought
about the now classic apology is news to nits Here
is the statement to which I take exception:
Against the advice of his partner, the late
Louis Marshall, and other Jewish leaders, who
believed that litigation would only increase the
bitterness of Ford, Untermyer started a libel
suit in hehalf of Herman Bernstein (who was
charged by Ford with having supplied him the
data upon which he based his campaign against
the Jews). The maneuver that made Ford a
buddy of Israel was a notice of examination
before trial. The manufacturer surrendered
and avoided questioning. . . . Ford apologized
and settled: that was not enough. At Unter.
myer's insistence he agreed to dragnet the
world for his pamphlets, to destroy them.
