President Hoover and Immigration.

s

ss

In the course of his address Monday
night to the Indiana Republican Editorial
Association, President Hoover had this to
say with regard to immigration:
"We are rigidly excluding immigration
until our own people are employed. The
departures and deportations today actual-
ly exceed arrivals."
It remains the chief surprise in the dis-
cussions of the existing depression that one
group of people should continue to be mis-
led into believing that by keeping out 50,-
000 immigrants a year, the problem will be
solved for more than 7,000,000 unem-
ployed ; and that another group should con-
tinue to capitalize on this argument in or-
der to create a false spirit of confidence
and optimism.
It is just such a view as propounded by
our President that was responsible for the
reaction that ushered in an alien registra-
tion bill for Michigan and is arousing ha-
tred of the alien in the hearts of natives.
That President Hoover should give ere&
ence to a view such as he pronounced in
Indianapolis Monday night is a cause for
sincerest regret.

Capitalizing on Tragedy.

The alien registration issue has again
brought to light the fact that there is a
certain group ready at all times to capi-
talize on some one else's tragedy. A court
battle is in progress in an effort to have the
law as adopted by the Michigan State
State Legislature and as signed by Gover-
nor Brucker declared unconstitutional. To
prejudice such legal action would mean the
defeat of the efforts of a sincere group of
lawyers who are opposing this legislation.
But the Communists and other extrem-
ists are evidently not concerned with the
fate and security of millions of aliens when
their own political views can be publicized.
Therefore they have decided to propagak
for a public demonstration against the reg-
istration of aliens. Than which there can be
I nothing worse and nothing more undesir-
able. Because it is of great importance
above all else that the courts should not be
prejudiced and that the false impression
should not be created that Communists are
in any way involved in this issue.
A timely warning is therefore served
upon the millions who are interested in the
present fight against this legislation not to
be misled by agitators, but to place their
faith in the sincere efforts of the able lead-
ers who know what is at stake and can be
trusted in what they have undertaken.

mination and discipline, according to Mr.
Lipsky, will become the slogans of all
parties.

This is one side of the picture, on the
other side which appears, in prominent dis-
play. the Revisionist Party, out for blood of
all who disagree with it. With a numeri-
cal strength exceeding 35, and with the
help and encouragement of sympathizers
from other parties, possibly a majority of
the Mizrachi delegates, the Revisionists
represent a strong group to be reckoned
with at this Congress.

It is too early to predict the outcome of
the Congress, although it is certain that
no one individual party either possesses
the strength to win with its own numbers,
or has as yet offered a platform acceptable
to a majority of the rank and file. One
thing appears certain: that a victory for
the Revisionists will be a most undesirable
thing, such a victory threatening the worst
dangers to the entire movement. All one
needs for proof of this contention is a per-
usal of the resume of the article by Dr.
Wolfgang Von Weis!, as written for the
Hebrew Palestinian periodical Haam, and
as reviewed in the Jewish Agency Bulle-
tin. Such fantastic statements, for in-
stance, as the one he makes to the effect
that "when the Soviets set out to break Eng-
land, Europe will need our help and we
shall have a chance again ;" and others sirn
ilarly fantastic reveal an attitude not to
be trusted.
And there is another reason why Zion-
ists must be on guard against the extreme
views of the Revisionists. The current
Jewish Agency Bulletin, reporting on the
Congress elections in Palestine, states that
a number of candidates were struck off the
lists for two reasons: Non-consent of the
candidates or "because they had not sub-
scribed to Keren Ilayesod this year—an in-
dispensable condition for election as a del-
egate to a Zionist Congress." And the Bul-
letin informs us: "Ten Revisionist candi-
dates were disqualified on the latter ground
alone."
The condition mentioned here ought to
be made indispensable everywhere. Peo-
ple must not be permitted to criticize con-
stantly without themselves participating in
the work. That was the fault and the sin
of the so-called Brandeis-Mack group dur-
ing the Lipsky regime. And just this is
what helped to provide us with consider-
able amusement when we read in Dr. Louis
I. Newman's column, "Telling It In Gath:"
"What the present leaders of the Z. 0. A.
accomplished at Cleveland in 1929, should
be transplanted upon an international
scale to Basle." Dr. Newman is known as
a spokesman for the present American
Zionist administration, and these words are
evidently intended as propaganda for his
group. Unfortunately, there is so little to
the credit of the present administration,
and it has so sinned in its leanings to Re-
visionism, that it will take a greater amount
of persuasion than this to convince Zion-
ists that the present leaders at 111 Fifth
avenue, New York, are the sponsors of a
plan which will save the Zionist ideal.
World Jewry will be watching intently
the results of the forthcoming World Zion-
ist Congress, out of which must come a so-
lution to the present trying problems.

You have long ago heard th at

were many expert swimmers abou t.
But she called for help in Engli sh

Of course, both of these a re

the Bronx, I dare say, know on
an average six or seven times as

But there is a kernel of tru th
in these stories and that is—t he
immensity of the Jewish factor in
New York.

And one never realizes it SO

that there is a possibility of t he

JUST A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY
Well, now, suppose it does come
true. It seems to me that this one
reform in itself will almost work
havoc with the political state. For
remember, that something like 80
or 90 per cent of the present in-
comes of government go for pur-
poses of war. In other words,
virtually all of the machinery of
taxation would almost be done
away with. Besides, you would
do away with all the military es-
tablishments—in all of its various
phases, military, naval, veterans'
hospitals, etc. Without an army,
with little taxes--what will the na-
tional government be like? I
think it would tend to go back to
the condition of things before the
Civil War, where patriotism was a
local affair--where one was a Vir-
ginian, first, or a man of Massa-
chusetts, first—for the national
government would scarce be more
than a foreign representative of
the states.

challenge at his co-leaders and co-

workers: "There is none of us so
hard hit but that there is some one
else in our midst who is not even
harder hit."

ALFRED M. COIIEN, national president of the
B'nai B'rith, makes this statement: "I shall
comply with Mr. Barton's request for the dates of
the Jewish Holy Days that fall in September and
October of next year and this office will hereafter
undertake to furnish such information from year to
year." Mr. Cohen is referring to James F. Barton
of the American Legion, which is to hold a conven-
tion in Detroit on Yom Kippur. That explains why
a protest was made by Jewish leaders and why Mr.
Cohen intends to clarify the situation hereafter.
All of which leads me to the conclusion that we
would save a lot of useless protests if there was a
central committee to look after just such business.
This college announces an examination on a Jewish
that holiday; that state has a primary election on a
Jewish holy day! this organization to which many
Jews belong holds a convention on some other day
that conflicts with Jewish religious observance.
After the dates have been fixed then everybody
starts to write and to talk about it. The news-
papers carry stories about these conflicts of (fates.
And then some readers begin to believe that the
Jews are making a nuisance of themselves. Surely
with all the efficient experts that we have among
ourpeople, with all the highly developed organiza-
tions and with such intelligent leadership as we
have, one would imagine that some way would be
found to file with every college and school the dates
of Jewish holy days; that such information should
be conveyed in advance to organizations that intend
to hold important conventions. and that national,
city and state authorities could also be advised to
the end that elec'ions might be arranged to meet
the demands of the situation. Let's begin to do
things ahead of time so we won't have to try
everybody's patience in getting others to change
their dates because we have been inefficient. It is
hardly fair to expect the American Legion after
planning for a year to open a convention on a
certain date, to change a couple of months ahead.

Tribute to Hi. Leadership.

His challenges brought results.

Ile did not let his army of workers
rest until every one had pledged

to co-operate to the end that the
campaign be made a success.
When the drive opened more than
2,000 responded to the call of serv-
ice. The aid of only half this
number was utilized. It was a
loyal army which paraphrased a
famous song and, on the last day,
sang, in commemoration of the
drive's victory, "We're bringing
the corned beef back home."

If ever a famous saying in lit-
erature was applicable to a suc-
cessful man, the line from Scott's
"Lady of the Lake" (c. 2, 19),
"Ilailto the chief who in triumph
advances!" is a deserving tribute
to the leadership of Aaron DeRoy.
Throughout the preparatory as
well as the campaign periods of
the Allied Jewish Campaign this
man did not rest. He was an in-
defatigable leader who worked on
a par with the humblest in the
ranks. If a meeting was called
at breakfast, at Hotel Stotler, at
8:30, he was first to come. Ile
was first to come and last to leave
at all meetings. And where a
humble worker failed to secure a
large subscription, Aaron DeRoy
used his personal influence.

ish educators which was held recently in Pittsburgh
and said that if Jewish education could only be

made fashionable like philanthropy that their finan-
cial troubles would end. We are influenced, of

course, by the mob. We dislike to be conspicuous,
but if everybody's doing it, especially those who

set the pace for styles, then we are more comfort-
able about it. Zionism is doing pretty well because

it was fortunate enough to get a few representa-

tive leaders to go along. If it wasn't for that
"break," I think Zionism would not be nearly as
advanced as it is today.

are still debating that Jewish university

question. I am in constant receipt of requests
for information for and against by ambitious young
orators. The other day a young lady came to see

me and when she suggested that our wealthy Jews
would quicker give millions to a Jewish university

than hundreds of thousands to other colleges and

universities. So I made the happy suggestion (at
least I thought it was a happy one), to put the idea

to a practical test by selecting the wealthiest Jews
in the country and put it squarely up to them.

They might ask them to what extent would they be
willing to support a Jewish university. If those

in favor of the establishment of such an institution
could get 40 or 50 millions of dollars pledged of

course the question would be taken out of the
realm of debate. I have my own idea of just what
such a questionnaire would result in. I think that

I could live comfortably for the next four or five

hundred years on the pledges they would not

,

Mr. DeRoy has for years been
active in many banking and auto-
mobile enterprises as well as in
sports. He is president of the
Aaron Denny Motor Company and
is a director of the Union Trust
Company and the Michigan In-
dustrial Bank. Ile is a member
of the Downtown Club, the Stand-
ard Club of Chicago and the Friars
Club of New York City. Ile is
also a member of the following
Yacht Clubs: Detroit Yacht Club,
Bayview Yacht Club, Internetional
Yacht and Country Club of Am-
herstburg, Ont., Chicago Yacht
Club, Cadillac Yacht Club of De-
troit, and the Croatan Conntry
Club of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Gave Detroit Two Giraffes.
Ile is a leader of the Board of
Commerce and of the Union
League Club. Mr. DeRoy is also
quite active in Masonic circles,
being a thirty-second degree Ma-
son and a member of the Mecca
Shrine. Ile is chairman for
Michigan of the National Farm
School at Doylestown, Pa., and in
this capacity has shown a deep in-
terest in the movement to encour-
age young men to study farming.
Ile first came to the front in De-
troit Jewish philanthropic efforts
in 1930, when he was treasurer of
the oversubscribed Allied Jewish
Campaign, to which he personally
contributed $10,000. As chairman
of the successful 1931 Allied Jew-
ish Campaign for $215,000 he was
primarily responsible for the
quota's oversubscription by $4,000.

.

Mr. DeRoy has also attracted at-
tention with his civic pride and his
interest in general communal ac-
tivities. In 1025, while in Ger-
many, he purchased two giraffes
for the Detroit Zoological Park.
The giraffes were valued at $3,000
each. Due to the tact that the
giraffes were each over 27 14 feet
tall, the problem arose as to how
to transport them from New York
to Detroit, since along the railroad
route there are many low bridges
and tunnels. Finally the federal
government was appealed to and
made available cars which were
used for transporting cannon dur-
ing the war. With this equipment
it was found possible to so route
the travels of the giraffes as to
avoid all tunnels and low bridges.
When the giraffes arrived they
were the subject of front-page no-
iety, and the Detroit Free Press
conducted a giraffe-naming contest
for boys and girls. Among the
entries were "Hans and Helena,"
"Neck and Neck," and finally "Cleo

and Tony" were selected as the
winners.

Chief among Mr. DeRoy's sport-
ing activities is yachting and mo-

torboat racing. Ile has won the

Greening-Duff trophy in the Junior

Gold Cup races, has held this tro-
phy for several years and has

never been defeated. Ile won the

Packard trophy as first prize for
Class G cruisers. This prize was
won by the yacht Yoreda wh i ch is

DeRoy spelled backward.

Ha, Three Yachts.

Mr. Deltoy also won the George

Harrison Phelps trophy, a time

prize for the fastest lap in

the
Detroit Gold Cup regatta, won by

Aaron DeRoy's Lady Ilelen I with
a speed of 32.3 miles per hour.
Another trophy to his credit is the
Pennzoil trophy for the lastest lap
in the Junior Gold Cup races, won
by C o m mm odor e DeRoy's Lady
Helen II, with a speed of 43.413
miles per hour.

Commodore DeRoy at present

has three yachts: Yoreda, 106 feet
long, costing more than $200,000;
7 3,
Lady Helen I and Lady Helen II.
Lady Helen III is now being built
and providing its speed measures
un with his expectations, Mr. De-
Roy plans to take the boat abroad
to enter it in two races in Eng-
land, one for the Detroit News
trophy and one for the Duke of
it
York trophy. Ile then plans to sh
take it to Venice to race for a
trophy which will be offered by
Premier Mussolini. These three
races are to be held in July and
August of this year. The Lady
Helen III is in the 325 cubic inch
displacement class, and Mr. DeRoy
confidently expects it to make 65
miles per hour.

Commodore DeRoy has given
what is known as the Aaron DeRoy
trophy and every July sloops,
yawls and cruisers compete for it
in a free-for-all long distance race
from Detroit to Mackinac.

The spirit which has distin-
guished Mr. DeRoy in his sports-
manship and in his desire to win
the race he has participated in has
been injected by this born leader
into the campaigns to aid human-
ity's less fortunate sons and
daughters. Ile has succeeded in
stirring men's souls for philan-
thropy as he has in sports because
he is the possessor of a will to
succeed which does not know de-
feat, and because he is able to in-
spire his followers not only with
his own determination and untiring
zeal, but also by his ready wit and
humor and his cheerful and friend-
ly spirit.

The country may well watch
Aaron DeRoy, fur a national
leader looms in him.

"A Jewish View of Jesus."

The Bloch l'ublishing Co., 31
West 31st street, New York, has
reprinted Dr. II. G. Enelow's "A
Jewish View of Jesus,' ($11., first
published by the Macmillan Co. in
1920. Rabbi Enelow discusses the
Jewish heritage of Jesus, the Jew-
ish environment and the Jewish
element in the teaching of Jesus,
Jesus and Jewish history, the mod-
ern Jewish attitude to Jesus.

Dr. Enelow states: "It is impos-
sible for Jews to ignore the most
popular, the most studied, the most
influential figure in the religious
history of mankind. Jesus was a
Jew and no sensible Jew can be in-
different to the fact that a Jew
should have had such a tremendous
part in the religious education and
direction of the human race."
