EDITOR'S NOTE.
What •: the organized Jewish community doing to relived. d he

relief of •ad. needy? This is a question which many Jews are now
asking. b , h with regard to the activities of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration ai .1 the Detroit Jewish Emergency Relief Fund.
To pr, dent to its readers a clear picture of what in being done by
various a emirs of the federation as well as by the emergency fund-
oldies, The Detroit Jewish Chronicle is inaugurating this
series of Articles about its affiliated groups of the two elements con-
cerned. The firnt article, which follows, deals with the effort of the
Hebrew Free Loan tee keep up the morale of the financially oppressed
and to help them carry on their life's battles with dignity and without

with qthi r aspects of relief measures, both of emergency as well as
normal natures.

Rev. George W. Pare of the fac-
ulty of the Sacred Heart Seminary,
2701 West Chicago boulevard, De-
troit, in a statement made to Phil-

torian, in his statement criticizing

Dr. Poll's review may not have
very much weight.
"As a mere student I, of course,
have an opinion, and it is this. Dr.
Pool is too violent. His review may
be comforting to his own people, but
it will hardly influence the judg-
ments of the public outside. He is
no more infallable in saying that
Isabella was "warped by sadistic
perversions" than is Mr. Walsh in
making her a paragon of virtue.
There are probably only a few men
in the world competent to make an
impartial and dispassionate study
of the varying fortunes of the Jew-
ish people in western civilization.;

the officers of the Ile•brew Free
Loan Association, for they come in
daily contact with the human grief.
Witness the people who apply far
loans, young men, young women;
old men, old women; people who
have seen much better days. peo-
ple who are planning for much bet-
ter days.

Tee what use do they propose to
put the money that they hope to
borrows According to the records
of the organization, money is bor-
rowed by the small shopkeeper so
that he may reinstate himself in
the good graces of his creditors and
obtain more stock. The home owner
comes to borrow money so that he
may pay his taxes before the pen-
alty for delinquency is added.

Other Reasons for Borrowing.
Others borrow to pay past due
bills, doctor bills, hospital bills, or
living expenses. Still others borrow
in answer to emergency requests
for relief from relatives in Europe.
A woman comes in tee borrow for
coal and rent.
Next comes a man who has an
idea as to how he can put himself
up in business. All he needs is a
horse and wagon and a small stock.
Of course he has no money, but he
is sure that if he could be helped
to get a start he would soon be on
his feet. Then follows a confer-
, dince with an officer eif the associa.
don. After a discussion of the pos.
I sibilities of this new business ven-
j lure, the officer is convinced of its
feasibility and the borrower emerg-
es elated, a man who has been giv-
en another chance to make good.
But that dosen't exhaust the rea-
sons for demands made upon the
Association. h1— may want to
make repairs on his home, or he
may want to borrow sonic, money
in order to assist a needy friend,
or he may want to pay the premium
on his life insurance. The Hebrew
Free Loan Association has many
different types of people calling
for loans, but even more varied are
the reasons advanced by prospec-
tive borrowers. For instance, who
would imagine for one moment that
the association is sending bays
through college? Medical college
at that! But that is exactly what
is happening. College boys who
apply for loans must be considered
good risks as far as scholarship
goes. In addition they must have
two endorsers, a formal require-
ment contingent upon which each
loan is made.
A Remarkable Record.
The records for the past time
years of the association show a re-
markable set of figures. The num-
ber of loans made in 1930 is 317
per cent of the number made in
1922 and the amount loaned in 1930
is 1136 per cent of the amount
loaned in 1922. The average loan
in 1922 was $26.86, by 1930 it had
jumped to $96.01.
don does one acwunt for th se
tremendous increases? In 1926,
when the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion was formed, the Ilebrew Free
Loan became a member. Subse-
quently the federation conducted
fund-raising campaigns in 1926,
1929, and 1930, each time appro-
priating money for the association.
