THIS AND THAT For the author of that inevitable book on "ghosting," there is the story told by Rabbi Wise at the Zionist conference to protest restrictions on Palestine immigration. Said Dr. Wise: "Nathan Straus, in preparation for a public speech, would have one of 'us write his speech. When the occasion arrived, and he would be called on, Straus would take out the manu- script and begin to read. About half through, he would toss it aside in front of the public saying: 'This is no good. Wise wrote it. Now I'll give you a good speech,' and he would begin to speak extemporaneously." • • • Concerning this entire matter of Jewish immigration into Pales- tine, it is interesting to note that much of the opposition to Jewish immigration is based on the professed argument that Jews in Palestine do not give Arabs employment as farm workers and in construction work and other fields of manual labor. The ironic note in the whole thing is this: that in the old days it was said that Jews would not care to do any manual work themselves. Now the charge is that they want to do all of it. Not no many years ago, G. K. Chesterton, who is by no means too friendly to Jews, wrote that Palestine would be a success if the Jews did their own muscular work, but that you couldn't call Pales- tine a success if the Jews got the Arabs to do all the dirty work, so to speak. Chesterton went on to put it epigrammatically In some- thing of the following fashion: "Palestine will be a success, if the Jews climb down the ladder, not to the top." And now the opposition to Jewish immigration into Palestine is that the Jews insist on climb- ing down the ladder. Just between ourselves ...

This statement will undoubtedly be re- corded among the noted scientist's gems. Here is a practical statement on education which deserves to be inscribed on every house of learning. In too many institu- tions study is a duty ; in too many instances It is merely a means to an end, in the pur- suit of which the "profit of the community" is sacrificed. For Jews there is perhaps a greater les- son in this statement than for the non-Jews. We have made Jewish study a duty, and Jewish learning suffers thereby.
