Judge Charles Rubiner.

Governor Brucker could not have im-
proved on his latest appointment. By
choosing Assistant Attorney General
Charles Rubiner for Judge of the Common
Pleas Court of Detroit he has placed on the
bench an able lawyer and an honest one,
a young man who is a credit to his state and
country and whose intergrity is certain to
react creditably upon the Jewish people.
Judge Rubiner's Jewish interests have
already won for him the respect and love
of the Detroit Jewish community, His de-
votion to the synagogue and to everything
Jewish, his understanding of the Zionist
tion of leadership in the Jewish commun-
ity. And because of his legal ability and
his understanding of the problems of gov-
ernment, he has deserved the place of pub-
lic trust given him by our governor.
As Jews and as Americans we are proud
of Charles Rubiner and are happy over
Governor Brucker's appointment.
Is a Jewish Hospital Possible?
Another chapter is closing in the story
of the effort to build a Jewish hospital in
Detroit. By turning over the $42,000 fund
to the Jewish Welfare Federation "to be
used toward helping to build and to main-
tain a Jewish hospital with a strictly kosher
kitchen in the city of Detroit," the Hebrew
Hospital Association is placing the respon-
sibility for the future building of a hospital
upon the Federation.
Those who wonder whether a Jewish
hospital is possible for Detroit need only
read carefully the provision in the agree-
ment between the Federation and the Hos-
pital Association, making it mandatory
upon both agencieS "to analyze the pro-
posed project with special emphasis on the
fact that the hospital be well founded by
sufficient capital to insure not only the
erection but reasonable maintenance for a
period of 10 years or more." This point is
based on experiences in other cities, where
annual deficits range from $100,000 to
$200,000 a year. On this basis, the mini-
MUM sum that must be guaranteed in addi-
tion to the amount needed for a hospital
proper is $1,000,000. Which makes the
possibility for the construction of a hospital
as remote as the millenium.
Which in no sense creates ground for
criticism of those who would protect the
community from reaching a state of bank-
ruptcy by over-taxation. But it does serve
"(1 to warn the Jewish community of Detroit
that it must learn the lessons of other corn-
. munities before such a gigantic project is
8t undertaken. And it again serves to remind
Detroit Jewry that a hospital will be pos-
sible only when a group of wealthy men
make such a cause their hobby and are pre-
pared to give large sums both for the erec-
tion as well as the maintenance of a hos-
pttal. Nowhere was either a hospital or a
Jewish center built unless some one indi-
vidual was prepared to contribute a sum
4 :.4 running into the six figures, thus encourag-
ing others to give out of proportion to the
t s. amounts that have thus far been contributed
by Detroit's wealthiest Jews. Until a group
of Jew8 prepared to give such large sums
appears on the philanthropic scene in De-
troit, a hospital will be merely a pleasant
li? • dream.

The Late Louis Smith.
fe,
Most 11 orthy causes and institutions have
been known to succeed because there was
one man in each who was deeply enough
devoted to his hobby to make it his life's
work. The traditional charity of ItIo'os
3F-1 Chitim, which provides necessities for the
poor during Passover, was an honored and
successful philanthropic effort in this city
thanks to the devotion and loyalty of the
late Louis Smith, whose death last Saturday
robbed the Detroit Jewish community of
one of its most esteemed citizens.
Mr. Smith's memory will remain a bless-
ing with Detroit Jewry because of the great
good he has done in this one cause alone
over a period of more than 30 years. And
he Will be even more honored because his
work continues to live after him through
the efforts of his son. Charles Smith. A
man whose son carries on his father's Work
has lived his life worthily.

BY-THE-WAY
The World Zionist Congresses, the seven-
teenth of which opens this week in the his-
toric city of Basle, Switzerland, are interna-
tional Jewish demonstrations and delibera-
tions for the Jewish nationalist cause. It
is the rebellion of the much-harassed and
much-persecuted Jewish people against the
indignities of the centuries in an effort to
solve the Jewish problem in a practical,
reconstructive way.
The first Congress was held in Basle in
1897. It was convened by the late Dr.
Theodore Herzl, the founder of the politi-
cal Zionist movement. At this Congress,
for the first time since the Sanhedrin, the
Jewish people began to approach unity and
to meet for a common cause on common
ground. Delegates from the East met with
delegates from the West. German, French
and English Jewish leaders hobnobbed with
spokesmen from Russia, Rumania and Ga-
licia. Greetings were exchanged between
Dutch, Scandinavian, South African, Amer-
ican, Bulgarian, Italian and other represen-
tatives of world Jewries. It was the most
international of gatherings, representative
of that anomaly which makes the cosmo-
politan Jewish people crave for a national
hearth to escape the indignities of the cen-
turies.
The Congresses remain the most pictur-
esque and most interesting, as well as the
most important, gatherings in Jewry. Out
of them emanates hope to our people every-
where. From the Zionist Congresses comes
a program for work which has fascinated
not only Jews, but non-Jews as well. These
Congresses are the symbols of the begin-
ning of the realization of the hopes of the
people for national, cultural, spiritual and
physical freedom.
The present Congress is fraught with
many trying and oppressing problems, not
least of which is that of leadership. We
share the faith expressed by Mr. Louis
Lipsky that it will end in a unified front
for the Zionist cause. And for lack of an
abler and better suited leader and person.
ality we are inclined to agree with our Lon-
don contemporary and namesake that Dr.
Chaim Weizmann ought to be drafted
again to resume the leadership of the
World Zionist Organization.
Tragedy of Unemployed—Help Them!
There is nothing more tragic than the
tragedy of the unemployed. The hordes of
men and women who are compelled to be
victims of a dole system, but who would do
anything instead to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows, presents a sorrier
sight from (lay to (lay. The crisis cries to
heaven and demands a solution.
There are many ways in which the more
fortunate can help the needy, and we es-
pecially endorse the effort of the Detroit
Jewish Emergency Relief Committee to en-
courage the creation of jobs, no matter how
menial or for how brief a time, during the
period of economic want. A (lay's work
offered an unemployed and downcast per-
son may serve to give him new courage to
carry on.
Most tragic of all, in the present crisis,
is the position of the youth. Many young
men and women have little if anything to
look forward to. The machine age threat-
ens to crush the mass, and only the excep-
tion seems able to survive. The Jewish
youth's position is doubly tragic because of
the discrimination in employment. Some-
thing must be (lone about it, and it must
be (lone without delay. Judge Albert Cohn
of New York, president of District Grand
Lodge No. 1 of the B'nai Writh, recently
stated that a national conference on dis-
crimination against unemployed Jews is to
be called soon by the B'nai B'rith, with the
co-operation of other national organiza-
tions. Said Judge Cohn:
Reports of current conditions in the field of
employment have given cause for deep anxiety
to all those interested in maintaining the
American principle of equality of opportu-
nity. A great deal has appeared in the press
recently pointing to an unfortunate discrimi-
natory attitude toward Jews who are seeking
employment. It is the purpose of the B'nai
B'rith in calling the national conference on
discrimination in employment to determine the
exact nature of the causes that provoke a racial
bias in apurely economic problem. The con-
ference will also attempt to find some cure for
the situation.
The B'nai B'rith has enlisted the co-opera-
tion of other national Jewish organizations in
this task and preliminary steps have been
taken for an intensive study of the various
Phases of the unemployment problem as they
affect Jews.
This action, which has been delayed en-
tirely too long, is of great importance. The
economic status of the Jew is at stake, and
American Jewish leaders must not remain
silent. Because if the condition of the un-
employed is tragic, that of the unemployed
who are discriminated against is doubly
tragic. A nationwide effort must be made
to avert further tragedy.

PAID TO EAT
As this is being written David
Lawrence is bidding for the Wash-
ington Post. Lawrence now runs
a Washington paper—the United
States Daily, but that, a purely
government chronicle, is caviar to
the general. It would be interest-
ing to see what would happen to
the Washington newspaper field if
Lawrence, an exceptionally able
newspaperman, should take hold of
the Post.
Some years ago Herbert Hoov-
er and Julius Barnes bought a
Washington newspaper, with some
sort of notion of making it a na-
tional daily. I happened to be a
member of its staff at the time.
Nothing came of the Barnes-
Hoover hopes, however. I cannot
take responsibility for the failure.
My work was confined mostly to
attending innumerable dinners.
After three hours spent at some
dinner, I was told to write just a
stick, mentioning who, what, and
when, and let it go at that. I was
really paid to eat,
LAWRENCE AND A NATIONAL
DAILY
The Hoover paper was sold. To-
day, it is in other hands, yet the
Hoover idea that Washington
should have a paper of national
prestige is sound, and Lawrence, if
he gets hold of the Post, may turn
the trick at which "Herb," with
his numerous other irons in the
fire, failed.
As the situation stands today,
Washington's dailies are not par-
ticularly noteworthy. Its neigh-
boring city, Baltimore, has a daily
press infinitely superior to it.
Lawrence should make a wel-
come addition to the list of Jewish
proprietors of newspapers. It is a
strange thing that while there are
any number of good Jewish news-
papermen, there are very few Jew-
ish owned papers. You can almost
count them on your hands. There
is Ochs, of course, owner of the
New York Times, generally re-
garded as the country's leading
newspaper, and Ochs also owns
the Chattanooga Times. And
there is Paul Block, who owns a
big string of papers. But after
you've mentioned these two names
you have about exhausted the
field. I should also mention, per-
haps a chain of papers owned by
a Jew, named Adler, up in the
Middle West, and a few scattered
sheets in the rest of the country.
Perhaps, not altogether a bad
showing, but compared to the Jew-
ish eminence in the theatrical field,
not strong, in my opinion, when
you consider the thousands of
newspapers in the country,
PULITZER'S TABLOID EXPERI.
MENT.
While on the subject of news-
papers, the Saturday Evening Post
in its current issue recalls that the
late New York World, in the days
of Joseph Pulitzer, one day ex-
perimented with a tabloid news-
paper. The tabloid World sold
like the proverbial hot cakes, yet
Pulitzer, says the Post, refused to
continue it. He took the ground
that a newspaper was something
more than "hot cakes," and that
the tabloid policy was inconsonant
with the best ideals of journalism.
He was a strange man—that
man, Pulitzer. Ile could take as
lofty a stand as this—refuse to
tabloidize his paper for mere mer-
cenary gain, and yet at times, he
would stop at nothing to gain cir-
culation—even war. Pulitzer and
another man, now still outstanding
as a national publisher of a chain
of newspapers, even helped to
bring on the Spanish-American
war—just for circulation. At
least, such is the charge of a con-
temporary historian.

T
HE reactionaries are seeking to get even a
firmer grip on things in this country as evi-
denced by the passage of the Alien Registration bill
in the State of Michigan. It is right in line with
all the other restrictive measures to make the na-
tion safe for Mr. Babbitt, We have anti-evolution
laws, blue laws, prohibition laws, anti-cigarette
laws, and all sorts and conditions of laws created
from narrow minds. This newest of these laws
compel every alien to register and if he fails to do
so and an individual or a company employs him, it
is just too bad, because the employer can be arrest-
ed and sentenced to fine or imprisonment. If
necessary, the alien can be finger-printed and pho-
tographed just like any criminal. One can easily
imagine what a club is placed in the hands of un-
scrupulous politicians in handling such situations.
It will likely develop into another fancy racket. In
the old days of Russian Czardom this sort of thing
used to be done by the secret police. The man who
has been agitating this registration in the United
States is Senator James J. Davis. Senator Davis
means well. but he is on the wrong track. An effort
is being made to declare the law in Michigan un-
constitutional. If economics is at the bottom of
all this restrictive immigration legislation and anti-
alien legislation it doesn't seem that it has helped
America very much. That is, if we consider depres-
sion a major evil. One is not surprised to learn
that "Native Sons" and "Patriotic Societies" and
others such as the Klan are very much interested in
anything which will standardize American living
and thinking and further hamper personal liberty.
OCCASIONALLY a letter like this sent to me by
Mr. Henry C. Segal of the American Israelite
brightens the life of a columnist. I trust I am not
violating a confidence by quoting these few words.
I beg to thank you for your very kind letter
of the 4th, sending me your copy of Mr. Jo-
seph's recent column "Random Thoughts" in
which he reprinted portions of my sermons on
"If I were a Jew."
May I say that nothing could be handsomer
than what Mr. Joseph has done. His explana-
tion is as complete as it is fair and generous.
May I thank you for your kindness in this
matter and very particularly ask you to convey
my thanks to no good a friend as Mr. Joseph.
(Signed) JOHN H.AYNES HOLMES,
Coming from such a source such words are deeply
appreciated,
MR. JACOB BILLIKOPF, executive head of the
Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of Phila-
delphia, as well as one of the most important figures
in the clothing industry of New York City, advises
me that at a meeting held recently in his office in
New York, the board of trustees of the New York
Clothing Unemployment Fund voted an additional
hundred thousand dollars for the benefit of the job-
less clothing workers, bringing the total contributed
during the past 18 months to 1600,000. But Mr.
Billikopf, who is an avowed advocate of unemploy.
ment insurance, points out that in Chicago such an
insurance fund was created in 1923 and $7,000,000
was received since that time from employers and
employes and some $6,000,000 was paid out in
benefits..
says that: "Plans like the one in
the clothing industry have been in operation in
individual concerns for some years. However, of
the 40,000,000 workers in the United States only
about 150,000 are protected against unemploy-
ment. . . ." He shows the futility of reliance
upon the hastily devised machinery for the distri•
bution of relief when a nation is confronted with
such an economic crisis as exists today. Ile also
emphasizes, and very properly, that private charity
is hopelessly inadequate to cope with the situation,
. He sees no reason why unemployment in-
surance, so simple in its administration and so free
from danger, cannot be universally adopted in
American industry. Mr. Billikopf is an expert in
this field and his opinions are received with highest
respect. and I believe that if industry does not
adopt this plan voluntarily it will be compelled to
by legislation,

A Review by Fred, R. Bienstock
The part, and no small one, that
the Jews played in the discovery,
settling and defending of this
country is a fascinating story. Jus-
tice has been done to those pio-
neer Jews in Anita Libman Lebe-
son's book, "Jewish Pioneers in
America." Mrs. Lebeson, starting
with the history of the Jew in the
Old World preceding Columbus'
voyage of discovery. tells of the
valuable aids to Columbus in the
way of an instrument for observ-
ing the stars. additions to the
science of navigation; the belief
that Columbus himself may have
been a Jew and the expressed be-
lief, long before Columbus' voy-
age, of several famous Jewish
scholars, that the world was round.
Mrs. Lebeson cites all the known
facts regarding Columbus' ances-
try and produces some interesting s
arguments in favor of the theory
that the discoverer of America
a Marrano who dared not admit his
Jewish descent.
Mrs. Lebeson, after discussi ni
ng
the possible Jewishness of Colum-
tl
bus, leaves the question with the
final assurance that whatever may
be the truth about Columbus it is
certain that influential Jews at the
court of Spain played a great part
in financing the voyage that led to
America. It is equally certain,
the authoress assures us, that Co-
lumbus blamed a Jew for his fail-
ure to enlist the aid of Portugal in
financing his trip! Other Jews
were members of his expedition.
And following the entry of the
Spaniards into America the ques-
tion was raised as to whether the
Indians were not the 10 lost tribes
of Israel! Mrs. Lebeson, however,
dismisses this theory as part of
the speculative lore which is the

the great migrations of Jews to the

the last century.

Lebeson's achievement which, I
am certain, was a labor of love.
