in their synagogue they should not go beyond
what the law permits. we should not trouble
them in the exercise of the privileges accorded
to them. Though they choose to persist in
their hardness of their hearts rather than to
seek to understand the oracles of the Prophets
and the secretes of the I.aw, and come to a
knowledge of Christ, they have on that account
no less right to our protection. Hence as they
claim our assistance, we comply with their de-

protection, in compliance with the gentle spirit
of Christian piety, following the footstep s of
our predecessors of hippy memory, of Celia-
tus, of Eugene, of Alexander, of Clement and

The Jews themselves also have time wit-

Roman Pontiffs. In 1st': •'•• rabbis and dele-

the only power that had protected them in pre-
vious centuries—the Penney. In the Depart-
ment of Public Worship are preserved the pro-
ceedings of the session held on February 5,
1807, from which we quote:
"It is in consequence of the sacred principles
of morals that in different time, the Roman
Pontiffs have protected and received into their
States the Jews—persecuted and expatriated
from different parts of Europe."
Mention is then made of the kindness re-
ceived at the hands of Popes St. Gregory, Al-
exander II, Innocent II, Alexander III. Gregory
IX, Clement V, Clement VI and several other
Popes, Bishops and heads of Religious Order:.
In conclusion they—
"Resolved: That the expression of these
sentiment, shall be recorded in the nromedings
of this day, that it may ever remain an au-
thentic testimony of the gratitude of the
Israelites of the Assembly for the benefits
which the generations which have preceded
have received from the ecclesiastics of the dif-
ferent countries of Europe."
Although this answer does not tell the
complete story. the reiteration cf friend-
ship on the part of the Catholics is in itself
encouraging. It is a matter of historic fact.
of course, that not all Popes were friendly
or tolerant to the Jews; it is also an his-

NE \' HEBREW WEEKLY
We have received from Mr. Ittamar
Ben Avi the following Hebrew communi-

the impending publication of a weekly.
Our readers will be interested in the or-

announcement, wherein it is recalled that
the writer preceded Kemal Pasha in the

Much as we would have liked to present
this to our readers without comment, we
are tempted to ask: IVhat would Eliczer
Ben Yehudah say to such sacrilege on the
part of his own son, if he were to read his
OW11 revived Hebrew transliterated into
such phrases as "ani mevaqqesh" or "ha
davvar le wadday?"
But more important. of course, is the
reaction of Palestine's youth, How much
attention will they pay to Ittamar's sen-
sationalism? Is it possible that the son of
the noted author of the Hebrew dictionary
is doomed to ridicule?
At least. Ittamar Ben Avi is consistent
and sticks to his yet ideas. But we are
confident that he will find his father's idea
of how Hebrew' should be written triumph-
: ing over his own proposal.

Two well - known American
sportsmen, both of them lighters
and upholders of what they deem
the principles of "demoeracy in
sport," .both outstanding mem-
bers of the American Olympic
Comunittee which some 10 days
ago passed a resolution condemn-
ing Germany's discrimination
against .lewish athletes, balked
recently with a representative of
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The interviews have a height-
ened interest on account of the
opposite poles of thought the men
represent. They are more im-
portant since they disclose the
intellect which decided an issue
of considerable interest to Jews
everywhere.
