We Are In Favor.

Here is a proposal, contained in a Jewish

Telegraphic Agency cable from Moscow,
which should receive an unanimous "aye"
in its favor. The cable:

An exchange of Russian Zionists expelled
to Siberia for the Communists now detained in

Palestine prisons is proposed by the Soviet gov-
ernment which if the negotiations work out is
prepared to transport the exiled Russian Zion-
ists to Palestine. The Soviet Red Cross has un-
dertaken to negotiate on the matter with the
Palestine government.
Madame Peshkova, wife of Maxim Gorky,
the writer, head of the Soviet Red Cross, de-
clared that if the negotiations are favorable
the Russian Zionists would receive their pass-
ports within three days and be able to proceed
directly to a port of debarkation without hav-
ing to stop in Moscow first, Orders will be giv-
en to the authorities not to interpose any ob-
stacles in the path of the Zionists and the Red
Cross will pay the necessary expenses.

Certainly we are in favor. And so should
every Jew be. Because the Zionists in Rus-
sia are persecuted, and the Communists in
Palestine have joined hands with the perse-
cutors. Get the destructive Communists,
who allied themselves with Arab murder-
ers during the disturbances last August,
out of Palestine, and supplant them with
producers. We could wish for nothing bet-
ter.

Dame Prejudice Invades Mt. Clemens.

Something is wrong in Mt. Clemens. With
such an honorable body as the Board of
Commerce yielding to Dame Prejudice, this
health center which is annually attracting
thousands of Jewish guests from every sec-
tion of the country is now suffering from
a venom injected into it by citizens woeful-
ly lacking in vision and who fail to under-
stand the importance of tolerance and un-
derstanding in an American community.
In its bulletin elated May 29, 1930, the
Mt. Clemens Board of Commerce, under
the heading "Why the 'Kosher' Signs?" ob-
jects to having the city labelled as "Kosh-
er." Declaring that it does not wish to
"give offence to any of its citizens," the bul-
1 ;0 letin states that "it is not fair to 98 per cent
of our citizens that a few 'kosher' signs
should be displayed on our main highways,
and label our entirecommunity as 'kosher.'
We would like to suggest that if the kosher
sign must go up, that it be printed in Eng-
lish. Why leave these signs up the year-
round to accomodate a few visitors in the
summer time."
This bulletin goes on to declare that "we
desire to live in harmony," and proceeds
4:1 to urge: "The kosher signs in the Hebrew
language, displayed so prominently should
come down. We seek the co-operation of
our Hebrew neighbors in correcting this sit-
uation." And after invoking the "interest
of harmony and good-will" the bulletin
states "on gond authority" that most visi-
f
i on tors know before their arrival where they
will make their stops, and that "it would,
therefore, in our opinion, work greatly to

ti-Semites.
The Mt. Clemens Booed of Commerce has
appealed for a removal of the kosher signs
on the ground of "fairness to our city." but
it failed, by as much as even one word, to
explain wherein the display of Hebrew let-
ters on business signs in any way harmed
the community. In a single line, already
quoted. in which the "strictly Gentile"
signs are mentioned, might be detected an
attempt to point to class prejudice in the
use of both "strictly kosher" and "strictly
Gentile" signs.
If the Mt. Clemens Board of Commerce
had this idea in mind, then we are doubly

surprised at such action, Because even a
child knows that "kosher" refers to the re-
ligious observance of dietary laws, and
whether or not this word is written in Ile-
brew or English characters should make no
difference to fair-minded men anti women.
Tolerant-minded people as a rule under-
stand the sentimental significance to ob-
servers of the Jewish dietary laws of the

I

AM in receipt of a very interesting letter from a
reader living in the Middle West who asks that
his name be not used. He endorses my position re-
garding the Nationalistic issue in the Palestine sit-
uation. Ile says among other things:

DECISION IN A FEW DAYS

This bulletin does little credit to the Mt.

Clemens Board of Commerce. It reavels a

lack of understanding of the problem at-

tacked and ought, for that reason, be re-

called as unworthy of such an important
body.

I feel rather guilty in not sending you soon..
er my modest appreciation of your comment in
i
the American Israelite of May 9, on the Pal-
etsine situation, I feel reasonably certain that
you represent the views of many of us in this
country. I protested to the late Louis Mar-
shall the day before the conference I?) last
year at which the Jewish Agency took life that
'I regard Nationalism as inimical to the safety
of the Jews the world over." ... But it had no
effect and many of our people in I'ulestine paid
for it with their lives ... I agree with you re-
garding Brandeis and Mack . • . They too are
reactionary . . . There are thousands of Jews
in this country who think as you and I do and
who would be willing to do all that is asked of
them for Palestine, providing the nationalistic
and political aims of Zionism would be rele-
gated to oblivion.

I feel that my correspondent represents the sen-

timent of a large, a very large element in American
Jewry who are utterly opposed to Nationalism and
who would be glad to co-operate to the utmost de-
gree in the development of Palestine if that were
eliminated. I think the time is coming and not in
the very distant future when the Jewish Agency
will have to take an unequivocal position on the
question.

A NOTHER

communication comes to me via the
American Israelite, this time from Mobile, Ala.
The letter requires no comment except that I hasten
to assure the writer than I am eager at all times
to give the widest publicity to those Jews who de-
srita the prominence they obtain in public life never
forget for a moment that they are Jews.

RABBIS AND REELS
Rabbi Ernest L. Trattner of
Los Angeles is always doing some-
thing individualistic. Recently, he
wrote a book called by the daring
title "Autobiography of God." He
has authored also a number of
plays under the nom-de-plume of
Venturini Collins.
Now he plans to abandon the
pulpit and become a screen writer.
There are sermons in stones and
brooks, said the Avon bard. There
can be sermons in movies, too. Per-
haps, some day, the religious or-
ganizations will have talking and
moving sermons--just as now
there are radio sermons,

Souls and Bodies.

And yet there is something tragic about
Sir Herbert's comparison, taking into con-
sideration the share he had in shaping poli-
cies in Palestine's adminisration and the
hall in which his address was delivered.
Jews more than any other people know
that bodies without souls will not survive.
The Jewish body, without the soul which is
embodied in thehope for a restored Ere
Israel, might not have survived centuries of
persecutions—and we do not intend to rob
the synagogue and the house of learning of
even an iota of credit that rightfully be-
longs to them in the preservation of our
people. For more than a generation we
placed our faith in Great Britain for the rea-
lization of the Palestine ideal, The aspir-
ations of the program evolved by Dr. Theo-
dor Ilerzl centered in the hope that England
would assume responsibility as the manda-
tory power. When the Balfour Declara-
tion was followed by the San Remo decision,
eve rejoiced. We hailed Britain as our great-
est friend. But at this time British actions
are again writing tragic pages for Jewry,
and once again we are mourning not alone
for pains inflicted upon Jewish bodies, but
also because Jewish souls have been injured
by the power we considered our best
friend.

THAT JEWISH MATADOR
We have nut a little of what

get the real article.
A leading vaudeville chain has
signed up Sidney Franklin, the
Brooklyn boy who has acquirs.1
fame of late as a matador in NI, s-
ic() and Spain.
Strangest eif all is the fact that
by Profession Franklin is a con.
mercial artist. Down in Mexico
City on a visit, he once told me, he
said "No" when some of his
friends wanted him to attend a bull
fight. But the friends thought
they would have a good time, they
kidnaped him. Presently, he found
himself witting in the arena watch-
ing a toreador.
He admits he got a big thrill
from the sight. Besides, it was
profitable. A first-rate matador
gets something like $6,000 a per-
formance. You can't sniff at that.
Franklin trained, and now when
the best matadors are named.
Franklin is sure to be mentioned.

The difference between the use of "strict-
ly kosher" and "strictly Gentile" signs is
that in the first instance the prospective
patron is informed of the type of meals that
are served, but he is not told that only
Jews may partake of such meals. On the
other hand, "strictly Gentile" means no
Jews allowed, and when the honorable
gentlemen of the Mt. Clemens Board of
Commerce group the two signs together in
an appeal for their removal, they give us
reason to believe that they have been in-
fluenced by prejudiced minds.

There is nothing new in this sentiment,
except the manner in which it is expressed.
From the first year of the war Zionists and
non-Zionists have co-operated in relief work
for war-stricken Jewries, even if they did
not at the time co-operate for Palestine.
And the consummation of the Jewish
Agency is a practical realization of all ef-
forts for Jewish unity to embrace the double
object of Palestine's reconstruction and
relief for East European Jewry.

display of the "kosher" sign in Hebrew,
and lei the most respectable centers, in New
York, in Chicago, in Philadelphia, in De-
troit, such signs are in evidence and no one
has thus far dared raise a voice against the
use of Hebrew letters on signs.

Sir Herbert Samuel, first high commis-
sioner of Palestine, told a gathering at a
luncheon in the House of Commons at Lon-
don in honor of David Lvovitch and M.
Singalowsky, leaders of the Ort, that if he
soul of the Jewish people is in Palestine
their bodies are in Eastern Europe. What
Sir Herbert meant to emphasize was the
Jew's obligation not only to the work for
Palestine's recoustruction, but also to the
unfortunate masses of Jews in Eastern Eu-
rope who are facing starvation and oppres-
sion.

HOW ABOUT IT, GOVERNOR?
I am in receipt of another letter
from Frank Stevens of the Massa-
chusetts state prison, sent to me
through the Jewish Advocate of
Boston.
The letter is well written and
reveals a person of no little think-
ing ability and refinement. I
think the governor of Massachu-
setts ought to look into the case
of Frank Stevens and see if some
mistake hasn't been made.
Anti even if Stevens strayed
once from the straight and narrow
path, still, I think, his case calls
for some leniency. Have we not
been told that there is more joy
in heaven over one sinner that re-
penteth than over a legion of the
righteous?
I present just one of the pars-
graphs of Stevens' letter. I think
it gives some idea of the man.
In prison or out, the inner
man is pretty much the same in
kind, traversing in his own way
the road toward the goal. But it
is only in the "great liver" that the
spiritual overtones are clearly
lined against the human back-
ground, spiritual sign-posts as it
were toguide the less experi-
enced in the struggle of the higher
over the lower self."

I am always interested in reading your col-
umn; I was especially so in the reference last
week to the State Treasurer of Wisconsin, Hon.
Sol. Levitan, and the suggestion by you that
"he does recognize that an extra-obligation
rests upon a Jew who is a public official."

We feel that we have such a public official
of the Jewish faith in Alabama in the Hon.
Leon Schwartz of Mobile, who has been sheriff
of his county, mayor of his city, and now a
member of its City Commission,

Along with this fine record of public office
holding by Mayor Schwartz, is the unique one
of always serving in its military forces when
an emergency arises. Schwartz was a lieuten-
ant in the Spanish-American War — a captain
on the Mexican border—and was retired as a
major with World War services in the A. E. F.

BLOCK, publisher of seven important daily
papers, came in to see me the other day. He
represents along with Adolph Ochs the best type
of the American journalist. And it is a matter for
congratulation that two Jews who occupy such an
outstanding position in the newspaper world should
have dedicated themselves to the task of publishing
clean newspapers, Every once in a while we find
a criticism of the power that the Jew is getting in
the newspaper field. Therefore it is all the more
a source of satisfaction that the Jews are maintain-
ing the highest standards in the papers under their
control. Block publishes the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette, the Toledo Blade, the Newark Star Eagle,
the Brooklyn Standard Union, as well as represent-
ative papers in Duluth and Milwaukee. I once
heard Mr. Block say that he bought a run down
paper somewhere in the South anal themanager be-
gan to make it sensational, anti incidentally a profit-
maker. Mr. Block saint that if he had to publish
that type of newspaper to make money he wanted
neither the paper nor the money, and he promptly
sold it.

JEWS IN THE NEWS

By BERNARD POSTAL

When the national conference
of Jewish Social Service opened in
Boston last week Louis E. Kirstein
of Boston presided. As chairman
of this important gathering's ini-
tial session Kirstein has added to
his alresely imposing list of Jewish
affiliations and raised himself even
higher in the estimat on of Ameri-
can Jewry. About a fortnight
ago Boston dedicated the Kirstein
Ilemorial Library, which Louis
Kirstein donated. As president of
the Jewish Philanthropies of Bos-
ton, an active leader in the war,
affiliated with practically every
leading Jewish organization in
Boston, a prominent business
executive, Mr. Kirstein easily
ranks as one of the outstanding
Jews of New England, Jewish
undertakings in New England
without his co-operation are rare.

visit no place but the Deutches

such a museum would rise in Chi-
cago. And the dream is now near-
ing realization.

An Unconvincing Novel on

History in Legend.

Intermarriage,

GIVE UP YOUR LOVERS. Icy LOU
Golding. Cosmopolitan Book CorPores
lion. 572 Madison •tenue, New York
82.50/.

Louis Golding writes beautiful-
ly. His "Day of Atonement"
ranked among the best novels deal-
ing with Jewish themes, His
"Those Ancient Lands" was a mas-
terful essay. In "Give Up Your
Lovers" he has again produced a
beautiful bit of prose fiction. But
the sum total of his argument is so
unconvincing that it is a source of
deep regret for his many admir-
ers.
Mr. Golding attempts in this
novel to prove the validity of in-
termarriage. Ile attacks the ban
on such marriage on the ground
that marriages between Jews and
Jews have brought about degen-
eracy and neuroticism. On the
other hand, he exalts the possibili-
ties of marriage between Jews and
Gentiles.
Philip Massel, the hero of the
story, is in love with Ruth Man-
ning, whom he meets after her
brother, John, saves him from
drowning. A deep friendship de-
velops between himself and Ruth's
mother. But in spite of Mrs. Man-
ning's love for Philip she opposes
intermarriage. His father, of
course, also opposes such a mar-
riage, and Philip and Ruth for a
time yield to parental pressure,
Meanwhile Philip is exerting an
influence upon his father to oppose
his sister's marriage to a neurotic
Yeshiva bochur. His father re-
sents this, but when, on the wed-
ding day, the bridegroom, Avrom,
passes poison to his own and his
bride's lips, old Mr. Massel is con-
vinced. But too late. His daugh-
ter is madly in love with the youth
and the marriage is performed.
During the wedding feast Mr. Mas-
ser dies of grief. On the following
day Philip returns to Ruth, Mrs.
Manning having consented to their
marriage.
Mr. Golding's exaltation in in-
termarriage reaches its peak in
the following paragraph:

Numerous volumes of Jewish
legends have been compiled, but
few works are as complete histori-
cally and chronologically as Hy-
man E. Goldin's three-volume set
of stories.
Here is a set of books which has
value not alone for the beautiful
legends it contains and the fine
style in which it is written, but
also because it teaches 4,000 years
of Jewish history. The author, in
his preface, does not exaggerate
when he says that this work is
"really a history of the Jews in
legends."
Folklore, anecdotes, legends,
covering the period from the crea-
tion to Rabbah bar Nahami of the
year about 300 of the present era,
form the contents. Again, there is
no exaggeration in the author's
statement that "upon a careful
reading of the legends, one is car-
ried away upon the wings of fan-
tasy into a celestial world, full of
beauty, grace, poetry and love.
purged of all that is earthly and
gross."
Adel to these the artistic illus-
trations by William Siegel and you
have a work deserving of a place
in every Jewish home and forming
an excellent choice for gifts, par-
ticularly Bar Mitzvahs.
The first two volumes deal with
legends of the Biblical period. The
third volume covers the Talmudic
period. There are 1,296 pages in
the three volumes,
