July 8, 1932 Reviews of Recorded Music FIEPEIROITJEWISII ROMCLE The Swastika in Detroit in A group of Detroit Hitlerites, clad b rown shirts, marched in the Washington Bicentennial Parade here behind the Swastika banner. It was the first public demonstration of the emblem which sym- bolizes hatred of the Jew, and which is the flag of the anti-Semite in European coun- tries. In numerous cities throughout the coun- try, this emblem is serving as a rallying signal for the followers of Herr Adolf Hit- ler. In Massachusetts, an organization pat- terned after the Nazi movement in Ger- many was denied a charter and was offi- cially condemned. But a similar organiza- tion in that state in publishing an anti- Semitic Hitler organ. In other cities, the Hitler menace is raising its cruel head, with the Jew as its chief target. There is no reason for becoming unduly alarmed at this time. Just because less than a dozen men chose to follow the banner of hate in a Detroit parade is not a cause for counter-action. Nevertheless, the American Jewish community should be on guard against the possible dangers from such a crusade. The mistakes that were made in the days of the Ford anti-Semitic campaign, and in the unfortunate "King of Kings" era, must not be repeated. In the event Ameri- can Jewish leadership is again compelled to take steps in counteracting such a dan- gerous movement, it is to be hoped that it will not be found wanting in a trying hour. "The Quality of Mercy" Judge Charles C. Simons had occasion to express an opinion in a deportation case. The details, already published in our news columns, are irrelevant to the point we wish to make at this time. Judge Simons concurred in the opinion that the alien be deported. In doing that he adhered strictly to the letter of the law. But Judge Simons added a supplement to the opinion in which he suggested a way whereby the alien might be permitted to re- main in this country. Judge Simons held that this alien had already paid the penalty for the crime he committed, and that it would be well not to punish him further. His supplement was a most kindly touch to an opinion made harsh by the letter of the law. A great poet once spoke of the "quality of mercy" that is "not strained." Judge Simons gave a most humane inter- pretation of his striving for mercy as well as justice. The New Zionist President The election of Morris Rothenberg as president of the Zionist Organization of America should react in many ways in bringing new life to the Zionist movement, which has suffered severely in the past few years. In the first place, Mr. Rothenberg, as a result of the yeoman service he has ren- derfd the movement, has the confidence of , every element in Zionism. He has never been a target for attacks, as was his friend and co-worker, Louis Lipsky. Secondly, Mr. Rothenberg assumes his new duties in an hour marked by a return to principles which were abandoned two years ago when the so-called Mack-Brand- eis group were given control of the organi- zation. The failure of the retiring admini- stration not only to strengthen the organi- zation, but even to retain the confidence the movement had during the , days of the dynamic leadership of Mr. Lipsky, resulted in a virtual revolt at the present convention. Mr. Rothenberg, it may safely be said, rep- resents the choice of the rank and file be- cause he was elected by a convention dom- inated by the group led and inspired by Louis Lipsky. Past experience should con- vince even the opposition to this group that this element is the most vital in the entire movement. Mr. Rothenberg has well earned the hon- or accorded him by the American Zionists. He is a pioneer leader and worker in the movement who has made many sacrifices for Palestine, and whose devotion has been an inspiration to his many followers. It is to be hoped that his rise to the helm of the movement will serve to unite all elements in behalf of the movement for Palestine's reconstruction. The past year presented the anomalous situation of success in Palestine and failure in Diaspora Zionism. Under healthy and normal conditions there is no excuse for such a situation. We have confi- jence that Mr. Rothenberg will help restore confidence in the movement, and will bring back that enthusiasm which dominated the Zionist ranks in the decade following the Balfour Declaration. "We Do Not Want Any Poor Jews" "We do not want any poor Jews in Spain. Rich Jews are welcome, but we are not in- terested in poor Jews. We have no means to help them." The man who uttered these words is a Jew. Which increases the astonjdment that one of the faith of Israel should express such sentiments. This quotation is culled from an article in our columns recently. They are the words of Dr. Samuel Hanoi', until recently the of- ficial head of the Jewish community of Bar- celona and one who retains a position of leadership in that city. Perhaps these words should occasion no surprise. It has been said that every land gets the type of Jews it deserves. Spain, since the Inquisition, has been cursed that Jews should never again set foot in that land. It has been cursed in numerous other The World Jewish Conference The broadsides against the movement to convene a World Jewish Congress have availed the opponents of the idea nothing at all. A conference to consider the advis- ability of calling such a Congress will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on August 14. The recent sessions of the American Jewish Congress, held in Washington, D. C., adop- ted a resolution favoring the convening of such a conference. The text of the adopted resolution reads: The American Jewish Congress, at its tenth session, approves the measure taken by its Ad- ministrative bodies, in accordance with the de- cision of the ninth sessions of the Congress to convene a Conference in Geneva on August 14, 1932, of representatives of world Jewry to con- sider calling of a world Jewish Congress for the purpose of discussing the world Jewish situation and the adoption of such measures as will al- leviate it—among them the maintenance of se- curity for the masses of the Jewish peoplei the facilitation and regulation of Jewish immigra- tion and the reorganization and reconstruction of Jewish economic life on a sounder and firmer basis. The American Jewish Congress notes with satisfaction that this preliminary Conference has already met with an eager response from leaders of American and European Jewry, con- scious of the urgent need of public consideration and common action on the grave problems which face us today, and earnestly urges upon all representative bodies that they participate in this Conference to the end that the Jewish people may be united in this critical hour of its history. MENDELSSOHN, Trio in D minor (Opus 49), played by Alfred Cortot, piano: Jacques Thibaud, violin; Pablo Casale, cello. (RCA-Victor No.M-126. 4 records.) Felix Mendelssohn did not take the advice of his practical father to drop the name of his Jewish antecedents for a more Germanized appelation. Ile was too sincere both as a man and artist to affect any sort of simu- lation. He probably felt in- debted a great deal to the gen- ius of his grandfather, the Jew- ish philosopher, for his own tal- ents. And so the world remem- bers Moses and Felix Mendels- sohn, while the father's only distinction, as he himself said, is that he was the son of a great father and the father of a great son. We were told by a number of music lovers that they find it difficult in these times of eco- nomic depression to concentrate on certain forms of music. For such troubled minds, as indeed for all lovers of tranquil beauty, the music of Felix Mendelssohn should serve as a mental tonic. Major works by Mendelssohn were featured on the lists of one company in the past two months. A short time ago, his "Italian" Symphony was released, and now we have the Trio in D mi- nor. Of this Trio which Mendels- Bohn completed in 1840, Schu- mann wrote: "This is the master trio of our time. It is an exceed- ingly fine composition which will gladden our grandchildren and great-grandchildren for years to come." The first movement opens with a broad, melodious, some- what melancholy and haunting theme—a theme never to be for- gotten. The andante is like an- other of the composer's Songs Without Words. The scherzo has been compared to that forest- world which Mendelssohn was able to depict with such peculiar skill. The finale opens with a dance-like theme, charmingly more attractive subject full of stated and followed by a still genuine feeling. Scriabin, although an ultra- modern, did not entirely discard the symphonic form. He wrote five symphonies, of which the last two, "The Poem of Ecstasy" and "Prometheus," both com- paratively short and each in one movement, ore midway between regular symphonies and tone- poems. The "Poem ,of Ecstasy" was We fail to see where anything harmful can possibly come to Jewry's cause as a re- sult of such a conference. As a matter of fact, this movement, in the form suggested by this resolution, can bring a great deal of good. What harm can there be in repre- sentative Jewish leaders from leading coun- tries of the world gathering to discuss the advisability of convening a World Congress for the purpose of alleviating Jewry's try- ing needs? Let the spokesmen for Israel decide whether they wish to create such a body. When this conference is finally opened, we shall know whether European Jewry wishes to form a Congress, or whether it is the idea of publicity-seekers. The particular danger in the present con- troversy over the need for a World Jewish Congress is that it may cause a wider split in the ranks of American Jewry and may place our people in a ridiculous position. This can be avoided by the presenting of a united front during the discussions at the preliminary conference at which the need for a Congress is to be discussed. Let the voice of Jewry be sounded through the spokesmen for Israel in the many European lands and in this country. Only then will we have the means of judging whether the Jews of Europe desire world-wide unity on matters affecting our people, or whether they wish to be left alone with their prob- lems. But by either wide merely emphasiz- ing the claim that the other has no right to speak for the entire people there is created a farce which emphasizes how poverty- stricken we are in leadership. What we need is unity, and the decision whether or not we need a World Jewish Congress must emanate from discussions in which all ele- ments are obligated to participate in an amicable manner. By-the-Way Tidbits and News By DAVID SCHWARTZ (Copyright. 1932. Jewish Telegraphic Steno,. Inc.) By HELEN ZIGMOND By A. MORRIS (Copyright. 1932. Jewish Teir2raphic Agency, Our Film Folk THE ZIONIST MEETING Inc.) first performed in Moscow in 1909. In it, the composer sought to express "the joy of creative activity." There Ls a prologue with two motives, the first sym- bolizing "the strife after an ideal" and the second, "the gradual awakening of the soul." There follows a tender theme ex- pressing "human love." Another subject, given to the trumpet, calls the "will" to rise. The trumpet theme grows trium- phant revolving itself into an impressive epilogue. "Prometheus" is scored for a large orchestra with piano. It was Scriabin's last orchestral work and the first performance took place in Moscow in April 1901. A chorus is heard in a vocalise near the end of the competition. Scriabin, portrays the later Prometheus of Greek my t h o l o g y, Prometheus, the almost the same elements as in bringer of light. We have here the earlier poem. In the embry- onic stage, mankind withoutahe Promehtean spark lacked con- sciousness. The creative "will" awakens; the "joy of life" and "human love" spring forth. There is a conflict between light and darkness. "Humanity" the work ends in triumphany is merged in the "cosmos" and harmony. In bringing forth these two works, Leopold Stokowski, head of the Philadelphia Orchestra, in co-operation with the RCA- Victor Company, continues his mission of giving the music- lover the opportunity to become acquainted with all the import- ant movements in music, old and new. • • STRAUSS, Waltzes, played by the Opera Orchestra of Ber- lin—Charlottenburg, under the direction of Julius Pruwer. Brunswick Album 36. (5 rec- ords.) Our large symphony orches- tras rarely play now the waltzes of Johann Strauss at regular concerts during the winter sea- son. Leopold Damrosch and Theodore Thomas, giants of an earlier age, in the propagation of symphonic music in America, often included a Strauss waltz in their programs. They were personal enemies, disagreeing in many things, but they agreed in preaching the gospel of Wagner and they also thought Strauss waltzes good music. The elder Damrosch included a Strauss waltz on the very first program of the New York Symphony Or- chestra which he founded. • HOLLYWOOD. — We've been biding our time... sooner or later they all get contract-fever... Now it's Arthur (Street Singer) Tracy who will go before the "cinemike" for the picture, "The Big Broad- cast". And Ely Culbertson, the bridge wizard, has put his signature on the dotted line to make several shorts of the art (or is it a sci- ence?) of bridge. As this is being written, the Zionists are gathering for their convention—or rather, to be more accurate, they will be gathering in Philadelphia in a few days. The present gossip is—that Rothenberg will be the next head of the Zionist Organization. That Szold wants to retire—and that Lipsky does not want the job. Prophesying what a convention will do is of course dangerous. Conventions are laws unto themselves. But whatever the outcome of the convention—Zionism will go march- ing on.

And Larry Hart THE CAUSE This talk about Zionism and the twilight—well, all I can say is that the delicatessen dealers have a word for it. I do not discount the fact that the Zionist Organization has lost in membership during the past year. I think the actual drop was from 10,500 to about 9,000. Nor do I discount the fact that the American Palestine Campaign shows a drop. But all of these things are to be expected with busi- ness conditions what they are. As far as I know the only organiza- tion which has not lost membership during the past year is the Association for the Repeal of the 18th Amendment. • . • • MONEY FROM IMMIGRANTS Indeed, from one aspect, more money has gone to Palestine this year than ever before. That is, if you consider the money eco- nomically invested—not by way of philanthropy. Thus, I understand there were something like 560 capitalist immigrants from America to Palestine during the last eight months—and to get a capitalist visa, the head of the family or the family as a whole must have a minimum of around $4,000. I understand that these immigrants took with them to Palestine no less than $1,600,000. Besides this, the number of Jewish tourists who went to Palestine shows a great increase. There were more than 700 tourists in the same period—that is, American Jewish tourists, who registered with the Palestine Bureau of the Zionist Organization. And these tourists brought money to Palestine. Some who went there as tourists, remained. One who went started a dress factory, employing 26 hands. So that when you add it—all in all—if the contributions from one side are smaller, on the other side, they are larger. And when you build a country, the dollar which comes in through the ordinary economic routes, is just as good as that donated. In fact, I am in- clined to believe that is a little bit better. Any earned dollar, is, I should say, just about twice as good as a given dollar. • • ZIONISM AND GRAPE-FRUIT Of course, money is needed and a great deal of it—to colonize more and more immigrants. It seems to me that as to this, the de- pression has been not without good. In the past Zionist strategy has been to seek the "higher brackets" for contributions. The great masses have been ignored. How is money gotten for Palestine in New York? What generally happens is that the workers round up in the principal sections of the city, those who are believed to have more money than is good for them. They are invited to a dinner, where some notable Jew shakes their hands. Then they are fed grapefruit and fish—and asked to contribute. But the hotel dining rooms are small. And you can't feed all the people grapefruit and fish. Yet I dare say, there are hundreds of thousands of people in New York who would make a contribution even without grapefruit. Maybe, they wouldn't contribute as much as the grapefruit eater—but a lot of little gifts make a large gift. The depression has, I believe, tended to open the eyes of Zionists to the possibilities of the lower brackets. If you want an illustration of this, I point to one section of New York, which perhaps stands alone, throughout the country—that of Richmond Hill. It raised more money for Palestine this year than last. And the reason as the chair- man of the campaign in that section—Sol Cohen—will tell you is that they went out after the small gifts which hitherto had been despised. • • • ZIONISM AND STOMACH TROUBLE I hope the Zionists will consider ways of stimulating the tourist movement to Palestine. I know it is easier to advise that—than to formulate plans by which it can actually be done. The tourist business has enormous possibilities. And Palestine has the possibilities to appeal to every type of tourist—the one seeking scenic and historical values or the one seeking climatic or health values. (Turn to Next Page.) The springs at Tiberias are said to be as good as the best spas in Europe. A friend of mine swears by the Tiberias springs for stomach trouble. If we could even get all the Jews of America who have stomach trouble to vacation at Tiberias—we could get an enorm- ous revenue for Palestine. (In fact, I think I'll have to go there my- self.) We could get better stomachs—and build up Palestine at the tame time. • • • BIGGER AND BETTER THROATS argue with them or to reason with THE JEWISH PRESS ROOSEVELT AND SMITH And for throat troubles, it is equally good.
