North End Clinic's Achievements.
,
The report of the North End Clinic for
the first five months of the current year reg-
isters achievement and speaks for unusual
progress in this health institution. In a per-
iod of economic depression, with an in-
creased demand for public health service,
and in many instances free medical care,
the Clinic was not found wanting in efficien-
cy and in understanding of a serious corn-
, munal problem ill a time of crisis. The
staff, under the leadership of Mrs. Eleanor
J. Ford, director of the Clinic, displayed an
admirable amount of devotion, anti man-
aged, during the period under considera-
tion, to care for 22 per cent more visiting
patients than during the corresponding
period in 1929, although the expenditures
and personnel of the Clinic increased by
only 7 per cent during that period.
It is encouraging to know that this health
center is so well prepared to meet a criti-
cal situation, and it is well for our leaders
.4
to remember its services, especially because
in our city it is practically an out-patient
hospital. An institution that does so well
deserves always to be strengthened and en-
couraged.
Abraham Cahan at Seventy.
tcs '
4"
r.
For forty-eight years a leader in the So-
cialist movement anti for twenty-eight
years editor of the most influential Yiddish
paper in the world, the New York For-
ward, Abraham Cahan, who will cele-
brate his seventieth birthday on July 13,
will receive the greetings not only of
the working class but of the wealthier
groups as well, Because Mr. Cahan, as a
great journalist, has exerted tremendous
influence upon the American Jewish com-
munity. Having begun his activities in this
country during the years of mass immigra-
tion of Jews from East European countries,
it was Mr. Cahan who became the guiding
spirit of the immigrant working masses. He
has been the teacher of the immigrant Jew,
and has watched the Jewish numbers in
this country grow front about a quarter of
a million to more than four million.
Descended front a rabbinic and devoutly
Orthodox family, Mr. Cahan brought to his
,journalistic work a deep understanding of
the problem of the Jew, of his people's
utilities and shortcomings. His "The Rise
of David Levinsky" is an indication of his
ability as a writer of fiction and of his mas-
terful approach to the immigrant's problem.
A truly keeat journalist, Mr. Callan earned
the esteem of his non-Jewish colleagues,
with the result that in spite of the unpopu-
larity of the cause he expounded he was
always listened to, anti his writings were
always read, with respect.
The new friendly attitude of his paper
to the cause of a rebuilt Palestine came as
a result of Mr. Cahan's travels through the
Jew:sh settlements, anti the friendship of
this Socialist leader and of his newspaper
is perhaps the greatest gain within Jewish
ranks made by Zionism in the past decade.
All elements will join in greeting Abra-
ham Cahan, the friend of the immigrant
and the great newspaperman, on his seven-
tieth birthday this Sunday.
The Price of Citizenship.
The Social Democratic deputies of the
Hungarian parliament, Rothenstein and
Esterjalyos, during a debate on their gov-
ernment's control of aliens, made the
charge that in certain circles Jewish refu-
gees of ruenfkirchen, Hungary, have been
advised to submit to conversion as Catho-
lics as a condition for attaining Hungarian
citizenship.
Peace in American Zionism.
The Cleveland Zionist convention has
not disappointed American Jewry. For
months preceding the interesting sessions
held in the same city where, nine years ago,
unity in Zionist ranks was shattered, Amer-
ican Zionists began to look anxiously for-
ward to this gathering, in the hope that,
for the sake of Zion, the wounded feelings
of all Zionists would be healed anti the
builders of Zion would once again "dwell
together in unity."
There was need for a change in the ad-
ministration of the Zionist Organization of
America. This need was so great that many
were ready to go to extremes. There was
strong sentiment in favor of the famous
"Brandeis memorandum" of May 22, 1930,
and many Zionists were ready to shut their
eyes even to the charge that this memoran-
dum was an ultimatum, or that it was a
vengeful statement. They wanted a
change, and demanded it. The press was
with these Zionists. Practically every
newspaper, some of the daily Yiddish and
almost all weekly Anglo-Jewish anti Yid-
dish papers, called for peace in Zionist
ranks and for a return to the helm of the
movement of the group headed by Justice
Brandeis and Judge Mack.
For a time, at the convention, it looked
threatening, and there was danger that the
peace overtures would come to naught.
The first two (lays at the convention were
depressing ones. But the end justified
everything because it brought peace in
American Zionism. It brought an even
more honorable victory than could have
been achieved had the Brandeis memoran-
dum been accepted without change. Be-
cause imitead of victory for either side it
brought peace to the entire movement.
In this connection there come to mind
the words of Milton:
"Peace hath her victories,
No less renowned than war."
The leaders of both factions InNe risen
to great heights by ignoring personalities
and by placing their common cause above
petty differences. Another victory for the
administration might have spelt the event-
ual crumbling of the organization; and an
unconditional victory for the Brandeis
group would not have wiped out ill-feeling
and would have done the cause of Palestine
little good. The attainment of peace has
elevated the Zionist cause as well as the
Zionist leaders.
It is a great joy to be able to greet the
outcome of the convention and the new
leaders in Zionism with the traditional
Jewish salutation:
"Shalom! Peace be unto you!"
Promotions and Honors.
A number of promotions and honors, in
this country , and overseas, testify to the en-
couraging political, civic and industrial po-
sitions of many of our people.

That Fickle Mass.
The annual convention of the Zionist
Organization of Amercia, held in Cleveland
last week, saw in interesting relief a typi-
cal picture of what is to be expected from
a mass of people who are out to dictate
their sentiments. "Fortune's fickle wheel"
saw Zionist delegates vacillate and waver
from one viewpoint to another. One night
it shouted "treason" at Dr. Stephen S. Wise
for his ill-timed and ill-placed statement to
the press attacking the Lipsky administra-
tion. Three days later the same people
were swayed in a different direction when
they elected Rabbi Wise a member of the
new administration committee. Fortunate-
ly Mr. Louis Lipsky rose to great heights
in his unselfish devotion to the cause of
Eretz Israel, anti led the convention to the
path of peace, or there is no telling what
the results would have been from the dic-
tates of the fickle.
Miracles will never cease. At a B'nai
B'rith meeting in Seattle, Wash., Rabbi
Samuel Koch demanded the removal of the
Zionist flag as spelling double allegiance on
the part of American Jews. But from
Providence, R. I., by action of the Central
Conference of American Rabbis, comes an
order to Rabbi Koch to sing "Hatikvah" in
his temple. The age of miracles is here
again.
This method of religious bribery is not
new in Jewish life, and the two Hungarian
deputies have appropriately labeled it a
"barbaric method of alien control." To
the Jew it is a reminder of Rabbi Akiba's
parable of the fox and the fish. As a gen-
vial rule, the fish knows that, with all the

may be some members of the Jewish
Agency who believe that they are merely en-
couraging the cultural aspect of Zionism in serving
on that body. They may gain illumination from
reaffirmation of the political and national aims
of Zionists at the recent convention in Cleveland.
Whatever interest is taken in the Zionist move-
ment carries with it a definite contribution to the
complete program. I am citing this not because it
is news but to clarify a situation which has been
perndtted to b econte entirely too foggy. If
ness to all co ncerned it seems to me to be the
clearly defined duty of the new coalition govern-
ment of the Zionist Organization of America to
let American Jewry understand once and for all
that spokesman who seek to interpret the move-
ment to meet the wishes of a thousand and one
different groups are unjust both to the Zionists and
to the non-Zionists. I have urged this position for
a long time but for slime unfathomable reason
some believe that by soft pedalling those phases of
the movement that may not appeal to the "cul-
tural and spiritual" sympathizers they may fail to
receive support of one kind or another. Let's
be done with qu1bblirl:(171ons. Let Zionism
stand or fall on its platform.

ciation of National Advertis. , rs is

That the New York Times is re-
puted to have netted $7,000, , 110 in

That Joseph l'ulitzer, Jewish
founder of the New York World,
when he arrived in this country
from Germany, as a young man,

and swam ashore?
That Moshe Nadir, famed Yid-
dish writer, changes ties at least
five times a (lay?
That one of the leading figures
of the Theater Guild, a Jew, con-
stantly changes the styles of his
hair cuts, working on the theory
that a different style of hair cut
makes a different appearing per-
sonality, and that people grow less
tired of you that way?
LOUIS LIPSKY surely has a great hold on the
major portion of the Zionists in this country.
He is an interesting character. He has to he a
dreamer, otherwise he could never have so caught
the imagination of the Jews. I first met Lipsky when
he was a writer in active service. If I ant not mis-
taken one of the very first articles of his that I
ever read appeared many years ago in the Satur-
day Evening Post. And it has always seemed to
me to be regrettable that he did not continue to
write. He has worked and suffered for the cause.
Ile has his enemies and there are ninny who dis-
agree with his policies. But I have always believed
that Louis Lipsky had the welfare of Zionism at
heart and was prepared to bring any sacrifice in its
behalf. In giving up the office of president and
creating an administrative committee of 18 to
direct the affairs of the organization I think he has
done a wise thing. I am glad to sec that as the
president of the Judea Insurance Company Mr.
Lipsky will be in a position to continue his active
interest in Zionism without those financial worries
that are usually the bane of all except wealthy men
who are leaders in public work. I will say for the
Zionist group that there are more colorful and
interesting personalities in it than in any other I
have ever known in American Jewry. They are
keen, intellectual, splendid talkers. I can't agree
with them, but I certainly enjoy being with them.
That it was Mark Twain, father-

Many of our Jewish communities are domi-
nated wholly in some instances and partially in
others, by leaders whose only association with
the Jewish group is affiliated with the Jewish
club, while prominence in business, profes-
sional or political life, measured by non-Jew-

Jews virtual dictators in Jewish institutions.

Well, that's true enough, but what will the rabbi
say of the same type of "irreligious" Jews who
because of their financial standing are members
of boards' of trustees of our temples? Is member-
ship in a Jewish congregation sufficient to classify
them as "religious" Jews? Then, too, when
is a
Jew a religious Jew and when is he an irreligious
Jew? I know exactly the kind of Jew Rabbi Foster
has in mind, yet isn't it true that most of them are
on a par with the average member of Reform Jew-

Situation Critically Examined by J. H. Kann, Former
Consul of the Netherlands in Palestine, and
by the Zionist-Revisionist Party.

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

izations on the problems af-
fecting Palestine, and particularly
the situation created by the dis-
turbances of last August, two
pamphlets stand out as most illu-

ists.
The Revisionist Statement.
The Revisi o nists' statenRia is a
very bold challenge of "vital omis-
sions and misstatements" made by
the commission which investigated
the 1929 riots. This pamphlet not
only makes interesting reading ,
but is a valuable resume of Jewish
achievements in Palestine and of
the possibilities (lTered for the
settlement of large numbers of
Jews on the soil of Eretz Israel.
This pamphlet first discusses the
nature of the riots, criticizing the
conclusions of the commissi o n. It
assails the failure of the commis-
sioners to draw a conclusion from
the peaceful Jewish demonstration
at the Wailing Wall on Tisha
b'Ab as compared with the riotous
Arab provocations.
"Failed to Investigate."
"The commission failed to inves-
tigate intrigues from internal and
external political and religious
sources," this statement says. "In
particular, attention should have
been paid to the well known ac-
tivities of the Communists in Pal-
estine."
The failure to investigate the
extent of looting by Arabs which

last, the failure of the commission
to report the beneficial activities
of the Jewish self-defense--these
are a few of the commission's
omissions which conic in for seri-
ous criticisms in the Revisionists'
statement which was submitted to
the League of Nati o ns.
Questions of Major Policy.
Turning to questions of major
policy, the Revisionists attack the
commission for ignoring the inter-
national obligations involved in
the niandate.
But it is on the question of im-
migration and land problems that
this pamphlet offers especially
valuable criticisms and sugges-
tions. The commission's contra-
dictions in attaching blame for the
outbreaks to excessive Jewish im-
migration is severely scored, the
statement pointing out that there
was absolute quiet in the country
(luring the period of heaviest Jew-
ish inlinigration in 1922 to 1926.
By ignoring the possibilities of in-
dustrial development in Palestine
cities, the commission has further
becl o uded the issue, suggesting, in
spite of the possibilities, curtail-
ment of immigration.

On the question of defense an
police, the Revisionists point to thi l,
need for legalizing the existbig
self-defense groups and the crew -
tion of separate Jewish nolic
units, to assure the safety of th::
Jewish population.
J. H. Kann's Pamphlet.
The pamphlet by former Consul
Kann is dedicated to the ntentory
of Theodor Ilerzl, David VVolfsola.
Max Nordau, Alexander Nlarnt..
rek, Jean Fischer "and niany
others v•ho devoted their life t
the Jewish cause." Himself an
ardent Zionist and a follower of
Herzhan doctrines, Mr. Kann
nevertheless discusses the existing
problems dispassionately, criticiz-
ing not only the British govern-
ment and the Arabs, but the Zion-
ists as well when criticism i ,
earned.
The British government is
charged with having failed to carry
out the obligations under the num-
date. Mr. Kann says that one get,
the impression in Palestine that
"the Leitmotiv of the g o ve rnment
is not to displease the Arabs at any
price." Ile believes that Aral.
Jewish accord is possible, but de-
dares that "the Jewish settle.-
merit gels no fair chance," with
the government officials displaying
indifference and antagonism
toward the Jewish population.

Jews Also Criticised.
Discussing at length the Arab
side in the issue, Mr. Kann crith
cizes the Jews who "generally
speaking, concentrated exclusively

on their owil difficulties and ne-
glected to study the Arab problem
.: 4,1
in relation to the Jewish settle-
ment in Palestine."
Zionist leaders are rebuked for
having acted lightheartedly in pro-
moting Jewish immigration with-
out having prepared a proper plan
for colonization. lie states that
more lives have been lost through
this negligence than through Arab
attacks. Ile writes: "The Jewish
settlement is more and more
emancipating itself from the tote-
lase of the Zionist Organization.
What is artificial will perish in the
long run. Assistance from outside
should be afforded to vvhatever •

'
but is at present unable to stand
on its own legs."
British Discrimination.
In his discussion of the puld i
works in Palestine, the author of
this pamphlet quotes facts t. •
show that the British have dis-
crindnated against the Jews in the
allotment of labor for public work :
and in the choice of government
officials. Ile says that Jews were
left to the mercy of Arab rioter,
in 1920 and 1929 as a result of
British negligence. Ile concludes
by stating:
"If the British mandatory
power should wish to do some-
thing to make up for its neglect
over the last 10 years, it might
find it within its scope to draw up
an extensive plan for drainage, ir-
rigation and sanitation, in con-
junction with the Jewish Agency.
This would benefit the whole popu-
lation, and it would open up a
fresh perspective for colonization
on a large scale. Sooner or later
this work will have to be done.
