PAGE THREE ELE f Ef f/ i LlfISR ARONICL4 and THE LEGAL CHRONICLE I Jewish People Greeted on New Year (Continued from Pegs Two.) I Statement of Dr. Stephen S. Wise. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue, New York, and president of the Jewish Institute of Religion, issued a statement in which he says in part: "The year 5692 has not been a joyous year for the Jewish people. Of sixteen millions of Jews, nearly half dwell in the so-called East-European lands,—Russia, Poland, Rumania. Soviet Russia re- mains the land nobody knows, least of all American tourists, with their considered and profound judgments after a week or fort nig ht of regulated observation. It is true that Soviet Russia gives no E-_, - countenance to any anti-Semitic movement, and even punishes any found guilty of instigating or practicing anti-Semitism. But it •s = t also true that there will be no Jews left to 'anti' if there continue for = -_ I another decade or two the present Soviet regime, which penalizes E - Jewish nationalist activity, which, in substance if not in form, inhibits sl Jewish religious life, which forbids every manifestation of Jewish = cultural life, excepting for Yiddishistic assimilationism as ally and abettor of Sovietism. "As for Poland and Rumania, none save the professional opti- mists of pulpit and press, whose optimism is at the bidding of their communal masters,—will deny the fact that the Jewish status is = woeful in these countries. The regularly recurrent boycotts and last = autumn's anti-Jewish student outbreaks in Poland, reveal how bitter = is the fate of the second largest of Jewish populations. Without := I stressing too much certain tragic incidents in Rumania, one notes with sorrow the incertitude of Jewish life in that country. = "Austria and Hungary remain the medieaval outposts of Central Europe, both reverting more and more to the shame of little chal-1= lenged anti-Semitic organization. But the overwhelming surprise = and horror of the year has been the extraordinary rise of anti- E - s Semitism in Germany, chiefly though not solely under the aegis of a Ilitlerism. It may be comforting to the professional Jewish soo 1.- 2sayers to recall that Germany has for a thousand years been recur- rently the victim of anti-Semitic tendencies and movements, that the ■•■ ••• ■ •• Jew today is no more than the scapegoat of Germany's intolerable .1■4, economic position, and finally that Ilitlerism will be better than it Another year has gone into oblivion and a paints itself and that when once in power it may be trusted to moder- New Year, filled with promise, hope and inspir- ate and control the anti-Jewish passions which it has done everything .--= possible to stimulate.

It is as hurtful to the unjust as to•justice itself to suffer the wrong of political prescription abroad or economic discrimination at home to go unrebuked and unchallenged. The surest form of self- defense against wrong is moral and spiritual defiance of wrong-doers.

Abraham Herman, president of Illas, writes: "The year 5692 has indeed been a very trying period for Jews the world over. Besides the economic condition which has weighed so heavily upon all peoples, Jews, particularly abroad, have had to bear the added burden of hatred, prejudice and unfair discrimina- tions. The world appears to have been aflame with injustice toward the Jew. It is not a pleasant spectacle to reflect upon.
