DEDICATION OF NEW JEWISH CHILDREN'S BLACK AND GELLER

gether for all dependent children."
Dr. Franklin made an urgent ap-
peal for funds to pay the baance
of $15,000 which is still due on the
building, the total cost of which will
be $165,000. He urged that the
Jews of this community give their
Chanukah gifts to the home. lie
pointed out that most giving is
loaning, because gifts are merely
exchanged, and suggested that the
proper way of presenting gifts
would be to contribute to a cause
as worthy as the Children's Home.

Appeal by Weisew

Dr. Franklin's address was fol-
lowed with another appeal for
funds by Moses Weisswasser, a
member of the board of the home
and one of the original founders of
the Hebrew Infants Orphan Home.
Mr. Weisswasser expressed joy
at seeing the same faces at this
dedication as were present at the
dedication of the home on Rowena
street 13 years ago. He urged con-
tinued effort on the part of the
home's supporters to guarantee its
upkeep and perpetuation,

Home will be announced shortly.
Other Speakers.
Judge Charles Rubiner said the
dedication of the new home was
another milestone in the history of
the Jewish community. He called
the home's completion a distinct
addition to the social structures of
the community but decried the de-
pendence of the institution for sup-
port on a small group of individ-
uals.
Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich, declar-
ing that "children" and "home" are
the two most beautiful words in
the English language, brought the
greeting of Jewish womanhood to
the occasion. She declared that
every child is entitled to that joy
which is the inalienable right of
every human being.
The concluding address was by
Kurt Peiser who emphasized the
necessity for giving a child char-
acter and who warned that it is
necessary for people devoting them-
selves to child care to think oi the
morrow. Mr. Peiser recalled that
when he first came to this country
in 1903 his first introduction to
America was in the Hebrew Or-
phan Asylum in Cleveland, of
which his uncle was the superin-
tendent.
The program concluded with the
singing of "Hatikvah" under the

Asks Compulsory Birth Control
for Jews,
RIGA.—(J. T. A.)—A motion

that compulsory birth control be
introduced for Jewish families was
offered to the Latvian Sejm by
a clerical deputy, Beldau, as a
counter motion to a bill calling for
the legalization of abortions,
which was later adopted by a vote
of 50 to 33.
Beldau proposed that Jews be
forbidden by law to have more
than two children. Under the le-
galization of abortions, native Lat-
visite run the rink in course of
time of being outnumbered by
Jews and other minorities, Bel-
dau holds. For this reason he in-
troduced his bill for compulsory
birth control among the Jews, he
explained.
Deputy Dubin, speaking in be-
half of the Jewish deputines,
strongly criticized Beldau's mo-
tion. He also stated that the Jew-
ish deputies are opposed to the
legalization law.
He scored the priest for intro-
ducing the Jewish question in a
matter which from the religious
viewpoint should have been op-
posed.
After the legalization bill had
been adopted Belden explained
that he had not meant to insult
the Jews, but merely to point out
that the Jews follow the Scrip-
tural injunction and that the Lat-
vians have much to learn from
them.

collations, they are herded together
as peddlers and they are then
blamed for being unproductive.
Only one-third of the Jewish popu-

half of them are small tradesmen.

and the Jew pays the price of the
experiment. Yet their Wooed are
tired of complaining and there is
no modern Jeremiah to bewail their
fate. American gold no longer
comes into the country. Poverty and
misfortune have made them quar-
relsome, and they are divided into
more than a score of different fac-
tions. They are trapped in the
ghetto and nobody knows what is
to become of them.
"Mend, enemy of Communism
and protector of capitalism, has

kr the protection of the native
producer. The Jew is the victim of
this state socialism which is pene-
trating into all parts of the econom.

nationalized and coal is coming
under governmental influence. The
Polish port of Gdynia is a semi-
government venture. Factories are
being drawn into the orbit of the
state and banks are becoming na-
tional institutions.
"Nearly 6 per cent of the tobac-
co workers of the great tobacco
centers, Bialystok, Grodno, Vilna
anFl Warsaw, were Jews under Rus-
sian rule. The Germans employed
Poles and Jews without discrimin-
ation. Today the tobacco factories
are in the government's hands, and
the Jews have been dismissed.
"The government is omnipotent

plained in the Sejm that Jews were
excluded from the postal service,
the minister replied that the charge
was unfounded, since there was one
Jewish postman in Galicia.
"There is not ono Jewish police-
man in all Poland, although in
cities the Jews form a large ma-
jority of the population. There
are Jews, however, in the secret
service to spy on their fellow Jews.
Since the establishment of the Po-
lish republic no Jew has been ap-
pointed to the bench.
"'Poland's present mood is not
anti-Semitic but a-Semitic,' Dr. A.
Insler, a Galician Jewish leader
told me in Lemberg. 'It is worse
than anti-Semitism, because a-Sem-
itism ignores our existence and
builds up the Polish state without
our help. In an age of half-Com-
munism this tendency is particu-
larly dangerous, since the state con-
trols the lives of millions throtie,h
its important economic functions.
Many Jews were bank directors in
termer years—now they are out.
Here in Galician, many Jews held
wine concessions—and they, too,
are out.'
"Although the law forbids die-
crimination, the Jewish jobless re-
ceive no unemployment relief, an
informant told me. The Polish
lawmakers knew what they were
doing when they specified that only
laborers employed in factories with
more than five workers are entitled
to government assistance. An a
rule, the Jews are working in smel-
ler plants.
"Jewish employers are afraid to
hire Jewish help, as they know that
the government does not look upon
their plant with much favor if it
opens its gates to the population of
the ghetto, instead of giving em-
plowment to Gentile Poles. Taxa-
tion is a matter of personal likes
and dislikes in Poland, and factory
directors must be on good terms

with the government. The Wid-
sever Manufaktur in Lodz,'Poland's
great industrial center, one of the
largest textile mills of the coun-
try with a pay-roll of 6,000, em-
ploys Jews only for office work, al-
though It is in Jewish hands. The
same applies to the Eitingon fac-
tory, said to be in American-Jew-
ish hands.
"Do the Jews of Poland know
what they want?
" 'Oh, yes, they know,' answered
Isaac Gruenbaum, one of the most
prominent leaders of Poland's Jew-
ry. 'Above all, they want to be
accepted as loyal citizens. Many of
their fathers died fighting for Pa
land's independence, and it is un-
fortunate that their enthusiasm
should be dampened.'
"The Jewish question reserves
emphasis in the discussion of Po-
land's minority problems. Misery
among the Polish Jews Is more
widespread than among Polish
Christians. The Jews of Poland
feel that their tragedy is not an
isolated incident in 4 unlvermaLca-
lamity, but a symptom of religious
intolerance and racial antagonism
which have no place in the twen-
tieth century."
"The Cauldron Boils" by Emil
Lengyel (Lincoln MacVeagh—The
Dial Press, 152 West Thirteenth
street, New York, $2.50), is an im-
portant work not only from the
point of view of the rescription it
gives of the Jewish situation in
Poland, but especially for the com-
plete coverage of the tragic scene
in that tragic country. Students
of European history cannot afford
to miss reading this volume.

SCENERY MAKE-UP

The third act was finished.
Newspapers were already carry-
ing notices of the liabimah's pro-
duction of the Dybbuk under
Vachtangov's direction. In our
hearts we were somewhat scepti-
cal. We all expected something
to happen. The costumes were
new and rather unusual. The
scenery was unusual too. The
make-up was such that was never
seen in Moscow. We were all
curious as to the reception that
Moscow would give us.
Particularly were we interest-
ed in the reaction which the play
would make upon the "lions" in
the theater. (By "lions," we
meant Stanislaysky, Dantchenko,
Katchaloff, Moskvin, Tchekov,
and other well known Moses-
viten.) At one of the last re-
hearsals during the scene of the
Chasidim, Vachtangov showed
once more what great intuition
he possessed. Discontinuing the
rehearsal, he shouted to us: "Are
these Chasidim, is it this what
you call a Chasid?" lie then de-
livers a lecture on Chasidim,
worth of a Schecter or some other
Jewish savant. He speaks so
convincingly that everybody most
believe him. After the explana-
tion, he walked on the platform
and showed us how to play a
Chasid. lie played it tearfully
and with great exaltation. Then
turning to us he said: "That is
the way to play a Chasid." That
night the Chasidim were played
right and that saved the third
act.
Two weeks after that came the
premiere. Vachtangov was pale
and excited; the actors nervous
and high strung. We were told
that all the most prominent peo-
ple of the theater were in the
house. Vachtangov was hack

ted a wig, and to everyone he
smiled benignly, like a mother
ready to display the beauty of
her children. The gong was
finally sounded for the third
time. We all gathered around
Vachtangov waiting for the fin-
al word. Sternly he addressed
us, "Did we realize what this
night meant to us, did we know
that Staanislaysky and others
were in the theater?"
The first act was over. The
audience responded coldly. The
second act was about to being.
Vachtangov came into our dres-
sing rooms and said good-natur.
edly: "Children, here is where we
raise them out of their seats.'
