When informed about the inquisition to which Dr. Albert Einstein was subjected by a consular officer in Berlin, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Uni- versity, tersely commented: "As an Amer- ican citizen I am so disgraced and humil- iated by the action of the State Department that I have no further words to express myself." This is an excellent summation of the issue. This country is disgraced by silly reaction and by the stupid handling of immigration and passport problems by our consular agents. Such humiliations are daily occurrences, and it is now revealed in all its ugliness by the fact that the abused person happens to be the great Albert Einstein. Few doubted that. Professor Einstein would be granted a visa to this country, in spite of demands to the contrary by the Woman Patriot Corporation of which Mrs. Randolph Forthingham is president, and whose charge is that Professor Einstein is "affiliated with more Communist groups than Joseph Stalin himself." Nevertheless, the Department of State at Washington committed the blundering wrong of issuing copies of the allegations by these women patriots to consular officers abroad, asking them to investigate the charges. A report from Washington stated that this stand was interpreted "as a means of setting up an alibi should there be pro- tests from other patriotic organizations when the visa, as anticipated, is granted. And therein lies the indictment of our present society. That an alibi should be necessary for the admission to this coun- try of Dr. Einstein, the greatest of all scien- tists, is nothing to boast about. And that this country should fear the political views of any visitor to our shores, no matter how high or humble his station, is doubly self- condemnatory. Professor Einstein's reply, in which he reiterated his pacifist views to which the women patriots take exception, must serve to increase the esteem in which he is al- ready held by the world's greatest minds. From Potsdam, Dr. Einstein's views were cabled to this country as follows: "I belong to no political party. Publicly I am a scientist, but as a private citizen I claim the right to feel and believe and fight for the interests of culture and of jus- tice. "I have always considered it my duty to intervene when justice is at stake, even though I am bitterly attacked for it. "I feel honored because I have had a certain kind of enemies. "I have always fought war—an attitude which the majority of sound political opin- ion in the United States appreciates. "Proudly I rise to defend the so-called 'war registers' whom I regard as greater heroes than those who allow themselves to be sacrificed upon the altar of miscon- ceived patriotism." Reactionaries and bigots will naturally continue to condemn him for such views. But men and women who have learned to look with horror upon war and political and social injustice will not only endorse Professor Einstein's sentiments, but will pledge their adherence to them. Meanwhile our State Department pre- sents itself to the world in a ludicrously comical light. The spokesmen for Ameri- can democracy, by their trembling and fear over the bogey called Communism, are playing the roles of clowns rather than statesmen. Worse than that: by fearing the sound of a liberal and radical thought, and by suppressing views which differ from the sentiments of those in power, they are dragging this country into the realm of the reactions and bigotries of the middle ages. And the guilty ones do not even know the meaning of shame! The World Congress Idea Gains. The movement for the convening of a World Jewish Congress is gaining in im- petus and support from the tragic events now occurring in Poland. It is clear that something must be done by Jews every- where to secure relief for our people in that unfortunate country. On the verge of being crushed economically, morally and physically, Polish Jewry's plight cries to us for help. American Jewry, regardless of how seriously it is affected by the present eco- nomic situation, must take the lead in solving this problem. If it is not to be through a World Jewish Congress, then the opponents of this movement must show the ; way to another medium through which to arrive at a solution. Emil Lengyel, eminent author, whose "The Cauldron Boils" deals primarily with the situation in Poland, admonished Amer- ican Jews of their duties when he stated in an address before the executive com- mittee of the American Jewish Congress: "Under the present circumstances the Jews in Poland are quite helpless and their situation quite hopeless. The various fact- finding commissions of the Pilsudski Gov- ernment are not very anxious to find any real solution to the difficulties of the Jews. The Jews of Poland are too tired, too leth- argic, too apathetic to do anything. I am firmly convinced that it is the duty of the Jews in America, even though I am quite conscious of the difficulties with which we are confronted here, to help the Polish Jews if they are to be at all saved from disaster." It is unfortunate that it should require a tragedy to bring closer home the need for a World Jewish Congress. It required the present crisis to unite the American Jewish Congress, American Jewish Com- mittee and Federation of Polish Jews in issuing a joint statement calling the atten- tion of the Polish government to the anx- iety of Jewry everywhere over the status of their Polish fellow-Jews. The prevailing conditions demand that our people unite in support of a movement that will provide the weapon for Jewish defense which is at present lacking. The pitiful plight of Eastern and Central Euro- pean Jewries emphasizes the need for such an united front. Are Jews Content in Czecho-Slovakia? By M.

Slovakia are indeed magnificent. But that is only comparatively speaking. Take Germany as the extreme on the wrong aide. The situation in Poland then appear much brighter and in Czecho-Slo- vakia brighter still. But Czecho- Slovakia is by no means a Jewish paradise. Only when we look abroad and see how Jews fare elsewhere, we shut up. President Masaryk is indeed a great friend of the Jews, bue be- cause of him the Czecho-Slovak- ian Republic is treated very len- iently in the Jewish press. Things that are denounced as wrongs in other countries are slurred over almost in silence if they occur in czecbo-Slovakia. Take, for instance, the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult for a Jew to obtain any important office in the Czechs- Slovakian government service. How much have the Jewish or- ganizations and the Jewish press had to say about that? Every- body in Czecho-Slovakia knows that no Jew, no matter how im- portant his work. stands the ghost of a chance of ever being appointed a lecturer or professor at a Czech university. There are Jewish professors in the univer- sities and high schools of Prague, Bruenn, etc. But they all obtain- ed their appointments when these cities still formed part of the old Austrian Empire. No Jew can obtain such a posi- tion today, not even in proportion to the numbers of the Jews in the total population, according to a numerus clausus. Czech Nation- alist Chauvinism has made im- mense strides of late. The growth of autonomist aspirations among the German and Slovakian popu- lations of the country brings with it a corresponding increase in Czech Chauvinism, There is much more outspoken anti-Semitism among the Slovakians and Ger- mans of Czech-Slovakia. They de- clare openly that they want no Jews in their universities. The Czechs don't say so publicly. There is no agitation among them At each session of parliament there is a lot of talk about these Jews who are still technically aliens, Staatenlose, who can at any moment be expelled from the country, or subjected to all kinds of discriminations, which would deprive them of their means of livelihood and thus drive them out of the country in the hope of finding a crust of bread elsewhere. These tens of thousands of Jewish Staatenlose in Czecho- Slovakia are really in a desper- ate plight, especially now when the country is experiencing a se- vere economic crisis. Till very recently we were constantly be- ing promised that any moment now and these unfortunates would be given their citizenship papers. And suddenly now the tune is changed. and we are told that these "aliens" are depriving Czecho-Slovkaian citizens of their ,employment and their bread. This is not in an anti-Semitic paper, but in the newspaper belonging to Dr. Bene's own party, the offi- cial organ of the foreign minister himself. its an New s dbd (lir Film Folk 1By -the-Way Ti By DA ID SC HWARTZ By HELEN ZIGMOND (Copyright, 193E.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? Now that the season is approaching when you are supposed to' do that shopping early, that story of Rapaport's—of Jewish employ- ment agency fame—is apropos. It seems, according to this tale, that two youngsters were standing in Gimbel Brothers' department store, looking at the figure dressed as Santa Claus. The two youngsters were of differing faiths. One was Jewish and the other non-Jewish. The little Jewish boy began the conversation with the state- ment: "Oh, Santa Claus is a fake. There is no Santa Claus." Whereupon the non-Jewish boy grew irate and retorted: "Yes, there is a Santa Claus. He brought me a lot of gifts last Christmas, and daddy says he is going to bring me a lot of presents this Christ- mas." "Oh, there is no Santa Claus," returned the Jewish boy, "I tell you there is no Santa Claus . . . Whereupon Santa Claus himself leaned over and whispered to the Jewish lad: "Was darfsdu ihm sagen?" (Why do you have to tell him?) • • • HE KNEW Rappaport, by the way, tells a quaint story about a Jewish cus- tomer at one of the art galleries. This Jewish customer had waxed prosperous in the great boom days and had in its aftermath developed the arty complex. So he hied himself to an art gallery to look at some pictures. Strangely enough, the first picture that he looked at pleased his eye. What the picture was is clear by its title—The Crucifixion. "I want that picture," said the Jewish cloak and suit dealer. The dealer bit his lips. "Don't you think you had better look at some of the others before making up your mind?" "No, No," continued the cloak manufacturer, "I want what I want. I want that picture." "That', okay," retorted the dealer. We'll be glad to sell it to you, but you must know that it is a rule of these galleries that once a picture is purchased, it cannot be returned. Do you know what that picture, The Crucifixion, portrays?" "Sure," returned the Jewish manufacturer. "That's Hondini. Hell get out of it." .5 Was Spinoza a Zionist? Professor A.
