In New Garb.
The new garb given this page is intended
not merely to provide variety in the appear-
ance of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle. It
is in consonance with our editorial policy
continually to improve both the appearance
as well as the content of the paper.
This is your newspaper. In serving you
we aim always to add new features, to im-
prove on the mechanical make-up and the
cultural and informative content, In re-
turn we ask your continued interest and co-
operation. Of those who are in position to
co-operate in a business way, we ask loyal
support. Upon such support depends in
largest measure whether we shall be able
to provide our readers with the numerous
additional features we hope to add to those
which are already popularly acclaimed by
our readers.
The Protest Against Poland..
The protest meetings as the only recourse
Jews have to call the attention of the world
to outrages committed against them also
have that redeeming quality of relieving
the pent-up feelings of rebellion against
indignities which oppress Jewish souls.
Constantly attacked, Jews are compelled
continually to protest against the injustice
of an unfriendly world. And in many in-
stances these protests bring excellent re-
sults, first in that they cause the guilty na-
tion to take notice of the resentment of Jews
everywhere against atrocities perpetrated
against their brethren; and secondly be-
cause they enlist the sympathy of the civili-
zed world in behalf of Jewry.
In the case of the recent protest against
the atrocities in Poland, it is well to note
that the social, economic and political dis-
criminations practiced against Jews are so
dangerous in their possible effects upon a
people which is already suffering untold
miseries both from the general economic
troubles as well as from prejudice against
Jews, that outside interference is timely
and quite in order.
To the credit of the leaders who organ-
ized the Detroit protest meeting be it said
that they exercised an unusual amount of
wisdom when they avoided the injection of
a spirit of animosity in their discussions of
the problems of the Jews in Poland as well
as in the framing of the resolutions. There
are more than 3,000,000 Jews in Poland,
forming more than 10 per cent of the popu-
lation of that country. These Jews are
there to stay, and to live on a basis of har-
mony and peace with the Polish people, as
citizens of the Polish republic. The re-
establishment of friendly relations and of
amicable attitudes on the part of each
group of the population towards one an-
other is of prime importance, and by em-
phasizing this desire the resolutions adop-
ted at the massmeeting do the wise and
sane thing.

FOREWORD
The worship of these gods went
along with, and symbolized, the
aristocratic legal usages, or
"mishpat," of Amorite society,
such as the selling or mortgag
ing of land, slaves, cattle, etc.
On the other hand, the origi-
nal clans of the B'nai Israel
were organized into a different
principle. Like all nomadic so-
cial groups, the Israelite clan
of the wilderness was a demo-
cratic brotherhood in which the
members enjoyed equal rights.
All the natural resources where
the clan wandered were treated
as common property. And this
form of social usage, or "mish-
pat," was represented by such
deities of the desert as "Yah-
weh," who was worshiped by the
Kenite tribe of Mount Sinai in
the Arabian wilderness. We
read in the first book of Samuel
(chapter 15) that these Kona°
people showed great kindness,
or "hesed," to the B'nai Israel,
who adopted the worship of
Yahweh at Sinai.
Thus we are prepared to see
that when the new Hebrew
state developed in Palestine at
the point of assimilation be-
tween Israelites and Amorites,
two violently contrasted social
usages were brought into close
contact—the aristocratic mish-
pat symbolizel by the name
"Baal," and the democratic
pat symbolized by the name
"Yahweh." These races fused
and vanished in the Ilebrew
melting-pot; but their antago-
nistic points of view remained
as distinctions attaching to so-
cial classes within the new na-
There is an unjust blockade
against the scientific study of
Hebrew history in our modern
system of education. While stu-
dents in high schools and col-
leges are given every facility
for learning what scientific
scholarship has accomplished
in the elucidation of Gentile
history, such as that of Greece,
Rome, France, Germany, Eng-
land, America, no equivalent
avenues of knowledge lead into
an understanding of Israel.
Consequently, about 16,000,-
000 persons of a given descent
are living in the civilized world
today whose cultural begin-
nings, viewed from the scien-
tific standpoint, • are beclouded
in darkness. The Jew, as such,
is not only unintelligible to the
Gentile world; but he is, to a
large extent, shut away from
his own historic origins.
This article is the first of •
brief series describing ancient
Israel on the same principles
that are employed by scientific
historians in the interpretation
of Greece and Rome. •
ORIGIN OF
HEBREW NATION
According to the Biblical
book of Shophetim, or "Judges,"
certain wandering clans from
the Arabian desert, calling
themselves "B'nai Israel," en-
tered the land of Canaan and
settler in this country; while
the ancient walled cities re-
mained in possession of older
inhabitants known as "Amor-
ites." We read in Shophetim
(chapter 3), "The B'nai Israel
dwelt among the Canaanites;
and they took their daughters to
be their wives, and gave their
own daughters to their sons."
And likewise, in the book of
Bereshith, or "Genesis," we
read how the older inhabitants
talked about the sons of Jacob,
saying, "These men are peace-
able with us. Therefore let them
dwell in the land, and trade
therein. For behold, the land
is large enough for them. Let
them take their daughters to us
for wives, and let us give them
our daughters." Accordingly,
the older inhabitants came to
the men of Israel, and said,
"Make ye marriages with us.
Give your daughters unto us
and take our daughters unto
you. And ye shall dwell with
us; and the land shall be before
you. Dwell and trade ye
therein, and get you possessions
therein" (chapter 34).
These passages, and many
others in various parts of the
Bible show that in ancient Pals
estine a new people came Into
existence through a process of
development which fused Israe-
lites and Amorites into the Ile-
brew nation.

Of His Birth, Dec. 9.
A double celebration will mark efforts
for Palestine in the coming months. The
fiftieth anniversary of the Choveve Zion
movement, which had its origin among Rus-
sian university students in 1882, and the
thirtieth anniversary of the Jewish National
Fund, will be utilized for celebrations
throughout the world.
The Choveve Zion movement, which was
the beginning of modern effort for the re-
construction of Palestine as the Jewish Na-
tional Home, was a romantic movement
which served to fascinate the Jewish youth
and to instill hope in the hearts of a +-
pairing youth. And the Jewish National
Fund was one of the instruments which
gave reality to the Choveve Zion cause.
The Jewish National Fund is today per-
haps the most important cause in Zionist
effort. It not only strives to redeem for-
saken Palestinian ground, but aims to make
it for all time the property of the entire
Jewish people in accordance with Biblical
traditions of the Sabbatical Year. On the
eve of the thirtieth anniversary of this fund
we recall that on the occasion of the fund's
Silver Jubilee, Chaim Nachman Bialik, poet
laureate of the Jewish people, thus explain-
ed the importance of the fund:
"I wish to relate what I once heard from
a professor who was lecturing on a subject
very remote from soil, on psychology and
physiology. He asked, 'What area does a
man need on which to stand' so as to feel
firm and secure?' His pupils replied, 'An
area sufficient for the soles of his feet.'
'Yes,' was the retort, 'that is so when a man
is conscious of the ground round about him.
