Shades of Messiah!

On March 23, the Jews of New York
launched a money-raising effort to guaran-
tee the continuation of reconstructive ac-
tivities in Palestine. Nathan Straus, Jr.,
chairman of the American Palestine Cam-
paign of Greater New York, presided. •d-
dresseswere delivered by Felix Warburg,
honorary chairman of the campaign, who
contributed $50,000; Dr. Nahum Sokolow,
Louis Lipsky, Nahum Goldmann, noted Ger-
man-Jewish leader; Morris Rothenberg,
Judge William M. Lewis, Judge Julian W.
Mack and—take note—by Rabbi Samuel
Shulman.
Rabbi Samuel Shulman has for many
years been known as a most rabid anti-
Zionist. Upon the advent of the Jewish .
Agency era he became a non-Zionist. Now
he is associate chairman of the New York
American Palestine Campaign. This is in
itself significant. But even more signifi-
cant is the address which was delivered by
Rabbi Shulman, who stated in part:

Drunken Poland!

A Chapter from "Let the Day Perish," in Which the
Young Detroit Author Condemns Outrages
and Pogroms he Personally Suffered.

By SAUL PADOVER

(Editor's Note: With the special permission of Jonathan Cape and
Robert Halloo, Int., 131P East Forty-Sixth street, New York, The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle is pleased to reprint the following chapter from the
novel, "Let the Day Perish," by Saul l'adover, a young Detroiter. This
novel isone of the most bitter denunciations of l'olish outrages which
followed in the wake of the emancipation of Poland. The author per-
sonally experienced the outrage. he speaks of, and his novel la auto-
biographical.

The Hapsburg Empire goes
crashing into the junk-heap of
history.
The Polish eagle with the
cruel claws supplants the double-
headed Austrian bird of prey.
The Poles go wild. They reel
on the streets drunk with whisky
and "victory." The petty bour-
geoise of the towns, so meek
and genteel during the Austrian
regime, become insolent beyond
endurance. Every Jew on the
street is an enemy and a pariah
dog. The patriots smash Jewish
windows, rob, steal, beat old
Jewish men and offend Jewish
women. They walk the streets
at night, rioting and hilariously
singing about the redoubtable
national victory on the battle-
fields. "At last we have con-
quered."
In the provinces there is con-
fusfon and chaos. The returned
soldiers turn into predatory
bands and make the land unsafe
for the defenseless population.
Every man's hand is raised
against his neighbor, and all
combine forces against the Jew.
Forgetting their own history,
the Poles turn like a pack of
maddened tigers on the defense-
less Jews. A flood of poison in
the form of newspaper propa-
ganda, pamphlets, speeches and
sermons is let loose. Its tenor
is, the dirty Jew must be exter-
minated! Never since the middle
ages have the Jews faced such
a protracted fire of hatred and
fury. Jew, Jew, Jew—every-
where Jew! The air stinks with
hate. All sections of the Polish
population are united in one
common all-absorbing aim: the
extermination of the Jews. Gov-
ernment is forgotten, law and
order is neglected, reconstruc-
tion is ignored, the typhus and
cholera epidemic is allowed to
go unchecked; only one ambi-
tion devours the Pole—the Jew
must be exterminated!

tries to raise a feeble arm, tries
to say something, but succeeds
only in uttering a hoarse little
whisper.
Reb Solomon, the white-
haired patriarch whose house it
is, goes up to the sergeant and
says bitterly, "The rules of war,
sir, I believe, require that even
an enemy should be treated with
humanity when he is ill. Lieu-
tenant Siegel is an Austrian of-
ficer; he is not your enemy, he
is ill and dying. You could have
waited at least until he is dead
before robbing him of his per-
sonal goods."
The Pole turns fiercely on the
old man. "Shut your stinking
mouth, you pig of a Jew! We
are masters now!"
"So I see," retorts the aged
Jew, his eyes flashing. The sol-
dier gives him a resounding blow
in the mouth.
The women cry out in horror,
and the sergeant bellows, "Stop
yelling, you daughters of
bitches!" Then he looks around
the room and his eyes fall on the
16-year-old Albert. "Hey, filthy
Jew-dog, carry this bundle for
me!"
It is an unfortunate choice,
for Albert is wild-tempered and
fearless. Ile flings himself at
the soldier with a bellow of rage.
"Carry a bundle for you, for

shaking arm points it to Al-
bert's forehead. "1 give you

inches from Albert's forehead.
Paul is trembling in every
limb. "Now," snaps the soldier.
Paul gives a blind hoarse cry,
"Hold, I'll take it."
In silence the boy follows the
two soldiers. When they get
near the barracks, which are in
back of the town, the sergeant
turns around, "Drop the bun-
dle!"
"And now run, bloody dog-
brother!"
Paul drops the bundle, but
his blood, more sluggish than
his brother, is beginning to boil.
He looks at the soldier with
eyes that are hot with hatred,
puts his hands in his pockets and
begins to stroll leisurely away.
"Run, dog-brother, or I
shoot!"
The boy's heart begins to
pump madly with fear. To bd

HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—Curren
Hollywood goasipings agree that
Annie Appel and Gregory Raton
practically walk away with the
"Symphony of Six Millions." Ra-
toff was put under contract on the
strength of this, his first Holly-
wood picture.
David Selznick, the young studio
manager for R-K-0., produced the
picture, and it seemed to us rather
smybolic of the story that Louis
Selznick, David's gray-haired fath-
er, attended the preview of his
son's latest success.
The music, delicately woven
with Jewish themes, is a symphony
composed by Max Steiner—it ac-

and greatly adds to one's emotional
reaction. Take a couple of extra

Tidbits and News

(Copyright, 1932. Jewish Telegraphic Agency,

SCHATZ'S INSPIRATION
Prof. .Boris Schatz, the founder of the Bezalel Art Crafts School
of Palestine, whose death is reported as this is being written, is said
to have received the inspiration which led him to the founding of his
famous school while listening to a discourse by a Maggid one Satur-
day afternoon.
The Maggid drew so plaintively the pathos of the picture of the
daughter of Zion weeping, as Israel sighed for her ancient homeland,
that young Schatz vowed. that some day he would return and help
re-establish the fallen glory of Palestine. •

SPEAKING OF MAGGIDIM
I am not at all surprised at this tribute to the old-time Maggid.
Though the environment of my own childhood was, I feel sure, much
less Jewish than the Minsk environment in which Professor Schatz
lived, I cantestify to the equal effectiveness of the Maggid. Looking
back at those years, it seems to me that nothing connected with the
synagogue exerted so powerful an effect on the "drasha" of the
Maggid. The old-time Maggid was really a combination of the
preacher and singer in one. Essentially, it seems to me, he was very
modern—this old-fashioned Maggid. For essentially he was a crooner
—a Rudy Vallee or an Al Jolson. The only difference was that where
Jolson and Rudy crooned about Mammy—the old-time Maggid crooned
about Abraham, and Jacob, and Israel, and Rachel. The words are
different, but as full of sentiment, and the melody sought the same
appeal.
