Lord Marley's Detroit Visit.
Lord Dudley Marley ranks among the
world's outstanding liberals who have
done a great service to the cause of human
rights by enlightening mankind on the
dangers which must come with a spread
of Fascism.
As chairman of the committee which
sponsored the publication of "The Brown
Book of the Hitler Terror," for which he
wrote the introduction, Lord Marley has
earned the gratitude of the Jewish people.
The findings of his committee were re-
sponsible for winning many sympathizers
for the cause of anti-Hitlerism, and have
therefore gained friends in the battle for
equal and just rights for the Jews in
Germany.
Lord Marley's visit to Detroit is there-
fore an event of importance. His message
to the Detroit community should be a means
for strengthening sentiment here against
the Nazi rulers of Germany. This liberal
champion of justice deserves a very warm
reception in our community.
Annual Federation Days.
A commendable step in the right direc-
tion has been taken by the Jewish Welfare
Federation this year, with the arrange-
ment that the annual meetings of the Fed-
eration and its affiliated agencies be held
at four separate gatherings, rather than
that they should be grouped together in a
brief discussion period lasting an hour and
a half or two.
It will be recalled that for a period of
three years, following the annual Federa-
tion meetings, The Detroit Jewish Chron-
icle advocated the separation of the differ-
ent meetings, in order that more people
interested in specific problems should be
in position to participate in discussions over
issues affecting the specific agencies. We
consistently adhered to the view that the
convening of 80 or 90 people for an annual
meeting, in which about a dozen agencies
are expected to give annual reports and
elect officers, approaches the farcical and
does not do justice to the best needs of
the community.
The change effected this year is an ef-
fort in the right direction. The purpose
of annual meetings should be to create an
interest in the community in the various
Jewish agencies, and to arouse a desire for
an understanding of our communal prob-
lems. We are coming closer to this real
purpose as a result of the new policy that
is to be inaugurated at the four meetings
to be held beginning with this Sunday
afternoon.
"Lucky England" — In Palestine.
At a time when Jews are compelled to
think in terms of protests against the Brit-
ish administration in Palestine for curbing
Jewish development by placing a partial
ban on immigration, it is impossible for
us to forget that from England, after all,
has come the greatest comfort and encour-
agement for Zionism. The outstanding
Christian supporters of the Palestine re-
demption movement have been English-
men. And whenever Dr. Theodor Herzl
and most of his forerunners in modern
Zionism spoke of a government which
should be entrusted with the task of di-
recting the rebuilding of Palestine, they in-
variably gave first place to Great Britain.
In spite of the difficulties which beset the
Zionist road, with the British often carry-
ing the guilt, it is in English sources that we
continue to find encouragement for our
great historic project in Palestine. An in-
stance of English friendship comes to us
through the columns of the London Sunday
Times. On the eve of Christmas, "Scruta-
tor" wrote about "The 13011A of Bethle-
hem," of "their sacred mes s age today,"
about "Palestine's past and future" which,
he emphasized, is "haunted with great his-
tory? ,
"Scrutator" reviews the religious back-
ground of Palestinian history. Calling Pal-
estine "both incredibly old and surprisingly
young," he makes the declaration that
"when one speaks of Palestine in any but
the merest geographical sense one always
means Jewish Palestine." He writes about
"history's ghosts" and here he makes ref-
erence to the world's debt to Israel in the
following paragraphs:
There has been a change in the past genera-
lise, and the Bible is ao longer read to dill.
gently, but for millions it was, generation after
generation, the poor man's university, his school
of history, of poetry, of ethics and metaphysics.
How many orators has this university not
formed, how much matchless prose has It
shaped, what wise philosophy of life and poli-
tics has it bred in our bones, what balm brought
to wounded souls, what strength of resolution
to overcome all trouble? An older generation,
at any rate, feels towards Jewish Palestine as
it feels towards a revered schoolmaster or an
Alma Mater of learning.
Until 15 years ago we did little to repay
our debt. Among the great Gentiles who, up
to a century ago, had befriended Palestine and
the Jews—Cyrus, Alexander, Julius Caesar,
famous Popes, Moors, Turks and Napoleon—
there is no Englishman unless it be Cromwell.
But the nineteenth century produced many
Englishmen who remembered that the Jews
once had Palestine for their national home.
Conder, Oliphant, George Eliot (in "Daniel
Deronda"), Kitchener (who gained his knowl-
edge of the East through his work on the Pal-
estine Exploration Fund), and the novelist,
if not the politician, Disraeli, are names that
come at random into the mind.
It is when he writes about "The Jewish
home" that "Scrutator's" article assumes
special significance in the present moment.
Those Jews who have learned nothing from
history, and who continue to be blind to the
present great achievements by Jews in
Eretz Israel, have much to learn from the
following comments by "Scrutator":
It was reserved to Balfour, Lloyd George
and Allenby to make perhaps even greater his-
tory in the Near East than the great pre-
nineteenth-century men who have been men-
tioned. Our people, in their dislike of a scene
or an attitude, often slur over the big things
they do and encourage even amongst them-
selves a false relation of values. After all,
what is the most solid result of the Great War?
Nearly everything in the settlement has either
gone or is threatened.
The one thing that keeps on growing is
Balfour's idea of a Jewish Home in Palestine
or, what that idea really amounts to, of a new
Palestinian nationality which can have neither
body nor soul without the Jews. Fifteen years
ago, this was to many people only Balfour's
fad; five years ago it was, in spite of artificial
difficulties, doing so well that the same people
who once thought it a silly fad now regarded
it as a portent, like the Loch Ness monster,
that should not be allowed at large but had
better be kept in confinement and on show.
Is it generally known that Zionism now com-
mands international contribution rather more
easily than the League of Nations? Or that
Palestine entirely escaped the economic de-
pression which began in 1928, and was the one
prosperous country in the world that had no
unemployment, no difficulty in balancing its
budget? That was due no doubt to the trib-
ute which Palestine was receiving from inter-
national Jewry, through the Jewish Agency,
and our Mandatory Government in Palestine
contributed precious little except sound finance
and pure administration. But if the ideal that
was being served was a religious aspiration
two thousand years old, at any rate it was
English genius that put it in the way of prac-
tical fulfilment.
It was rightly considered a great compliment
to our country that it should be chosen by the
Power, as the keeper of their conscience in
Palestine, where every rock is fossilized his-
tory and every breeze soughs with precious
memory. But a great past is a call to a great
future, and the eye of imagination can fore-
see such a future for Palestine.
That the country is no bigger than Wales is
not against such a prospect. The greatest con-
tribution of Palestine to the world in the fn-
. ture as in the past will always be in the ideal
domain. It may be that Providence chooses a
small country in preference to a large as the
medium for Its messages because it is not
so far to pump from heart to brain. But
even in the material sense the smallness of Pal-
estine will not prejudice its future.
The advantages of its position are up-
equalled; whatever the old regime in Germany
hoped for in its project of Empire from ham-
burg to the Persian Gulf is destined to be
diverted to Palestine and the nearer sea. Haifa
will one day be a greater Alexandria. Nor will
bells of Bethlehem sound less sweet when Pal-
estine has a population of five millions, as it
once had, and with the aid of modern science
might support again. For apart from intensive
agriculture and industrial development, there
is a great future for Palestine as the Empor-
ium of the East.
As Mussolini based his hopes for the future
of Italy on the greatness that was Rome's,
so must we on Palestine. For a thousand years
Palestine, in the political and economic sense,
has lain under a blight.. Nor can anyone make
these dry bones live again but the Zionist, who
is at once ultra-modern and ao Easterner, and
whose.devotion to the soil of Palestine is part
of his religion.
And let not hope be discouraged by the
fear of racial enmity between Jew and Arab.
Such enmity is artificial, not natural, as his-
tory has shown, and Its appeasement will be
in the material and moral advancement of the
East which only the Jew can bring but the
Arab will share.
If we had imagination to realize our bless-
ings, Fate has been wonderfully kind to Os.
We have now placed in our hands the master
key to the future in all Southwest Asia if only
we know how to use it. In mere economic ad-
vantage it may well be Oie equivalent to the
discovery of another, if smaller, America. And
Fate, accumulating its benevolence, has given
as the chance of development without cost to
ourselves, thanks to the tribute which the love
of Palestine draws from Jewry all over the
world.
And. as though that were not enough kind-
ness, Germany, by its oppression of Jews, is
exiling keen brains and rich minds by the hun-
dred thousand. Whither? While we deplore
the cruelty and hardship of the oppression, we
may well see to it that Palestine has the full
benefit of this second Exodus. Within five
years there might and should be a half-million
Jews in Palestine, diffusing the enrichment of
their energy and science among Arabs and the
neighboring peoples. Lucky England, if she
would only think it!
When British authorities, under pressure
by the Arabs, stand in the way of the com-
plete fulfilment of the pledge made to our
people for the creation of a Jewish Na-
tional Home, we naturally protest. We
insist upon the sacred adherence of the
Mandatory Power to the guarantee given
to Israel. But these protests are made
more emphatic because we knew the back-
ground of English tradition which favors
Jewish regeneration in Zion. We have
faith that when the complete Zionist story
Is written, Great Britain will have earned
the confidence which our people placed in
the traditional friendship of the great Eng-
lish people.
