This Page in New Garb.
"The History of a Lie."
Beginning with this issue, this editorial
page is presented to our readers in a con-
siderably altered and, we believe, im-
proved garb.
The editor is pleased in this fashion not
only to spice this page with variety, but
at the same time also to offer the readers
of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle new feat-
ures by outstanding authors.
Herman Bernstein, former ambassador
from the United States to Albania, emin-
ent journalist and editor, informed the
writer during his brief visit in Detroit that
he is planning to publish a new edition of
"The History of a Lie," which he wrote
about 10 years ago in refutation of the
colossal untruths contained in the so-
called "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
Mr. Bernstein can't produce this impor-
tant work too soon. The quicker he makes
the proposed work available, the better.
Too many people remain uninformed on
the actual forgeries contained in the,"Pro-
tocols," and their lies are again beginning
to spread entirely too fast.
So damaging is the propaganda of anti-
Semites who continue to use the "Proto-
cols" as a basis for their attacks, that por-
tions of them have been incorporated in
the Congressional Record, and a dema-
gogic official, brazenly denying that the
the charges were not true, maintained in
a letter to a Detroiter that the burden of
proof is upon the Jews.
The proof that the "Protocols" are lies
is found in Herman Bernstein's "The His-
tory of a Lie." Unfortunately, copies of
this book are no longer available. Mr.
Bernstein has it within his power to broad-
cast the truth, and the Jewish community
of America owes it to our people to make
possible the widest possible circulation for
a volume which throws light upon untruth
and makes the honest facts known to the
world.

Artistic Triumph of the Pageant
The La

The presentation of "The Romance of a
People" is now a matter of history, and
Detroit 'rs have reason to be grateful that
this enormous production was brought
here.
' Jews particularly have reason to re-
joice that they had been given an oppor-
tunity to witness this dramatic interpreta-
tion of Jewish history. Artistically su-
perb, its historic incidents vividly por-
trayed, the pageant is a moving spectacle.
It is especially thrilling at this time, when
enemies assail us on every front. Without
making any references at all to the present
tragedies, this pageant is perhaps the most
powerful refutation of the abuses and
charges heaped upon us. At the same
time, it serves to provide Jews with cour-
age,to carry on their battles more heroic-
ally because of the pride that must be felt
by all upon seeing the review of the rich
history of our people.
The remaining performances provide an
opportunity for those who have not as yet
seen the performance to see it before it
leaves Detroit. It is especially desirable
that the children should see it. They will
never forget it, and it is certain to leave an
indelible mark upon the minds of our
youth.
But the production is important not for
the Jews alone, but for the Christians as
well. The pageant may safely be said to
be a portrayal also of early world history.
It depicts in more than one sense the his-
tory of mankind. It is no wonder, there-
fore, that outstanding Christians have been
thrilled by it.
Such a fine spectacle must not be per-
mitted to pass out of existence. It is worth
much to our people that every Jew should
have the opportunity of being witness to an
interpretation of the Jewish past and pres-
ent, with a definite indication of Jewry's
aspirations for the future. The lack of
profits, because not enough people had
seen the spectacle, should not disappoint
its sponsors. The ideals interpreted and
incorporated in the huge pageant are
worth much more than that.
Meyer W. Weisgal and his associates
have earned our gratitude for the great
work they produced. Those who know
the pageant's values will not forget their
services.

In retaliation against the boycott of
German-made goods, conducted not only
by Jews but by outstanding American
labor movements and Christian leaders,
Nazis in this country have inaugurated a
boycott against Jews. The Hitlerite Friends
of the New Germany are responsible for
this effort to create internecine war in the
United States between two elements of our
population.
There is a vast difference between the
anti-Nazi movement and the new anti-
Semitic effort by Germans in this country.
In the anti-Nazi boycott propaganda, em-
phasis is placed on the desire to retain the
'friendship of American Germans. At no
time did a single responsible spokesman
for th e boycott confuse the friendship for
American Germans with the effort to force
the hand of the Nazis to stop their brutali-
ties in Germany by means of economic
pressure.
At the Nazi anti-Semitic meeting held in
Brookl yn, Louis Zahne, a director of the
German - American Protective Alliance,
made this statement:
Th Jews will find the boycott a double-
edged sword, according to communications that
I hay e received. The boycott will eventually
make this a fight between Jew against Gentile,
Genti le against Jew.

Brotherhood Day, April 29.
One of Edwin Markham's famous verses
is dedicated to the ideal of Brotherhood.
"Make way for Man!" he pleads in this
beautiful poem:
The crest and crowning of all good,
Life's final star is brotherhood .. .
Our hope is in heroic men,
Star-led to build the world again.
To this event the ages ran:
Make way for Brotherhood—
Make way for Man!
These lines are particularly appropriate
at this time, when the Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish faiths in this country are pre-
paring to observe April 29 as Brotherhood
Day, in the interest of good-will among
all peoples.
Prejudices current in European coun-
tries are beginning to spread in this coun-
try. The distrust of Protestant for Catho-
lic has not yet been eradicated. Anti-
Semitism not only is not on the wane: it
appears to increase. Hatred of the Jew is
evidenced in universities, in the profes-
sions, in business. Jews are still looked
upon as undesirables in certain apartment
houses, hotels and summer resorts. The
Jewish name remains anathema to unin-
formed mobs, especially when their baser
feelings are aroused by demagogues who
utilize economic want as a means of blam-
ing Jewry for the depression.
Furthermore, the forged "Protocols of
the Elders of Zion" are being revived again
and are being broadcast by bigots as fact
rather than destructive fiction. Hatred
thus continues to rule the day, and the
challenge is to all peoples and religious
faiths to fight mankind's worst enemy—
bigoted prejudice.
-By setting aside April 29 as Brotherhood
Day, the National Conference of Jews and
Christians naturally does not mean to sin-
gle out a particular day for good will. This
day's observance must mark the beginning
of a new era of good will and better under-
standing. Let it be proclaimed widely that
there is no room in this country for the
hatreds which dominate popular thought
in European countries of oppression. The
National Conference of Jews and Chris-
tians already has many achievements to
its credit. It is undoubtedly due to the
good will efforts of this movement that
many groups are now avowing their faith
in the cause of better understanding. Thus,
the Young American League of Salt Lake
City, Utah, explains its purposes in the fol-
lowing clause in the organization's consti-
tution:
Because all people living in this goodly land,
except the Indians, have come here from other

Building the Palestine of the Future
Tidbits and News
A Picture of the Young Zionists at Work in the Fields and
Towns of the Jewish Homeland.
'
By LOUIS GOLDING
Noted British Jewish Writer, Author of "Magnolia Street"
iCcpyright. 1534. Jewish Telegraphic Acme>, Inc .I
HERE, when I consider contemporary
Palestine, do my thoughts linger? Not
with the complex politics of that ancient
and nualern land, nor with the current price of
Jaffa oranges. I am no politician or economist.
Moistly my thoughts gather to other aspects of
Zion—to the colonists themselves, their wives and
sons and daughters.
I see them against the background of the
green and gracious microcosm they are making out
of the disorder of marsh and desert and silted
watercourse that the Turks left behind. I see them
in the agricultural colonies, some individualistic
and some communistic; in the Ilebrew University
on the flank of Mt. Scopus; and in Tel Aviv, the
first town to be built and run entirely by Jews for
nearly two thousand years. I see the families of
Zion and the youth of Zion.
It is with the youth of Palestine that this
article deals. For the future is with them. They
are the future. That is the religion of the older
ones in Zion; and there are no heretics.
And to my way of thinking, the young ones
are worthy of the trust imposed in them and the
duties awaiting them. The number of acres under
the plough, the tons of merchandise on the railway
trucks, I leave for exacter pens than mine. I
shall merely try to record the manly bearing, the
lustiness, the confidence of the young people of
Palestine.
They Are Proud, Gay, Earnest
band. floppy, too, are their young brothers and
sisters, the children of Palestine. What red cheeks,
what sturdy limbs, what lively eyes! Are these
kindred to the sallow little creatures we knew in
the Bronx, in Pittsburgh? Of all the flowers and
fruit that grow in this world, are there any of
more promise?
A visit is worth while to the colony of Ain
Charod, under the hills of Gilboa. It is one of the
completely Communistic colonies, but I am choos-
ing it as an example not because I want to com-
pare the system of this village with that of the
more individualistic villages, but because the chil-
dren here are as typical as may be of the chil-
dren of all Zion. I must emphasize the fact that
this village is neither more nor less prosperous
than those villages where each man ploughs his
own furrow (to speak not quite metaphorically).
The youths and maidens of this colony are
similar to those already described, But let us
see how they were brought up. They are out in the
fields now, working beside their parents; their
young sisters and brothers are being tended by ex-
perts in baby-creches and kindergartens, as they
were. The children sleep under nets in spotlessly
clean cradles upon shaded terraces. They play
sandcastles with that sainted Palestinian sand,
as it might be Margate itself . .. And now it is
sunset. The workers are coming home from the
fields. The parents sit by the cots of the children
and tell them (for how could they fail to?) how
different their own childhood was, in some scream-
ing ghetto in Vilna, or Sheffield, or Philadelphia.
How proud and virile they are! Enter Pales-
tine by the train from Egypt. Presently, at some
