What •: the organized Jewish community doing to relived. d he dentessin • conditions which are taxing to the utmost cell efforts for] 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 betomin: a prey to usurers. Other details that will follow will deal 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- ip Slomovitz, editor of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle, this week criti- cizes the review of William Thom- as Walsh's "Isabella of Spain, The By PHILIP HOUTZ Last Crusader" by Dr. David de Unsurg, and untalked about, the Sole Pool, which appeared in The Hebrew Free Loan Association Chronicle of Dec. 19.

Nobody knows it better than ica to disavow 1Valsh'n biography of Isabella for its many aspersions on the Jewish people and for the manner in which Mr. Walsh labored to prove as true the ritual murder charge against the Jews. Rev. Pare's Criticism. Rev. Pare, an outstanding Cath- olic scholar and a recognized his- torian, in his statement criticizing to be Held Jan. Dr. Pool's review, says: 5, at Maccabee "I have received your kind note, and also the copy of The Detroit Temple. Jewish Chronicle.

"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.; I doubt very much whether, in case such a study were made, either Christians or Jews would he ab- solved from all blame for the rep- ! rehensible things that have hap-1 pened. Ritual Murder Question. in regard to the matter of rit-, ual murder I am entirely in accord with Dr. Pont. It is lamentable that every no often your people AARON KURLAND should be stigmatized by a recur- rence of that revolting accusation.

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. These appropriations were directed (Turn to Last Page.)
