The Algerian Tragedy
Jews haven't enough to worry them;
therefore another tragedy: that of Al-
gerian Jewry.
It is impossible at this time and from
such a distance to weigh the facts and
causes which brought about the horrible
pogrom. But this much is certain:
Destructive forces are at play to incite
Arabs against Jews.
Not only the Jews in Algeria, but those
in Palestine and Arabia are in danger of
attacks from bandit bands who are proving
good pupils in the hands of Fascist as well
as Communist agitators.
The Jews may pay dearly for these agi-
tations unless action is taken to win the
friendship of Arab leaders and to enlighten
the masses that Jews are their friends and
not their enemies.
While Palestine is in no way affected by•
the troubles in Algeria, where Jews have
for centuries suffered from Moslem ha-
treds, it is important that our leaders
should not ignore the present outbreaks
and should think in terms of dealing with
the Arabs on a basis of friendship and
understanding. If at all possible, the spirit
of hate must be wiped out. While this
spirit rules everywhere, it may prove more
damaging and more dangerous in Arab
countries than elsewhere unless a solution
is found to this problem. This solution
must be found, for the sake of the security
of the Jewish populations in Palestine and
in all Arabian countries.
The Situation in Poland
Hitlerism and the tragedy of the Jews
in Germany have overshadowed the eco-
nomic and political tragedies of the- Jews
in Poland and have caused Jewry for a
time to forget the sad plight of the 3,000,.
000 peolile who are without hope of re-
lief from the despair which has made
pariahs of human beings.
But the true picture of conditions there
is now again being revealed to us, and
world Jewry is once more being challenged
to seek relief for more than a fifth of our
people.
For years outstanding Polish-Jewish
leaders had been telling us that the only
hope for Polish Jews is emigration. We
know that it is impossible to transport
3,000,000 from one country to another—
especially under present conditions which
fina the dOors to every possible haven of
refuge closed. But a way for some relief
for these unfortunates must be found. In-
tervention with the Polish government, the
settlement of as many as possible in other
lands and internal economic soluNns-
these means must be_resorted to at once.

WARSAW.—Polish Jewry is losing confidence
in the present Polish government.
There was a time—up to two months ago—
when all Polish Jewry was highly patriotic, was
devoted, body and soul, to Poland, to the Polish
language and Polish interests, and to all that
is Polish.
That time is passing. The Polish government
is killing Jewish patriotism by its own policies.
The government alienated the devotion of its
Jews by disgracing itself , in the terrible days of
the Nara pogrom on Jews; by failure to stop these
pogroms; by police allowing the stabbing of Jews
on the streets, and permitting to continue un-
checked the brutal treatment of Jewish women
and children.
Only now that the anti-Semitic party has been
suppressed because of the murder of Minister
of the Interior Pieracki can it be seen that when
the Polish government is desirous of suppressing
i something, it has means and sufficient power to
do so in its hands. It wanted to liquidate the
Nara party because the government did not want
the danger that other Polish ministers also might
be murdered. So it was done rapidly. In the
course of 24 hours the government put an end
to the Nara party.
Pogrom Handling Different
Different, however, was the stand taken by
the government against the anti-Semitic Nara
party during the bloody days of the anti-Jewish
excesses. Those days, the Jews in Poland will
not forget for a long time. Who knows how
long those days might have lasted and how much
Jewish blood might have been spilt had not the
tragic murder of the Polish Minister of Interior
taken place—a c e in which Nara members were
suspected of th murder and which revealed to
the governmen that it had tolerated the Nara
terror too long
The days of Nara excesses are discussed with
horror among the Jews in Poland even now. They
remember th t period as one of catastrophe, with
a feeling that is reminiscent of the times of the
Czarist pogroms in Russia and of the Ukrainian
pogroms of Petlura.

Reflect on Answer
Colonel Slawek's answer is now being dis-
cussed all over Poland. His reply will long be
remembered in Jewish circles. At a time of
great distress, the head of the Polish Govern-
ment party not only failed to fulfill his duty, but
failed even to display the necessary tact to give
his own Jews—members of his own party—a few
soothing words.
"The world is anti-Semitic and Poland is no
exception: .
The Jewish leaders who came to their colonel
seeking protection and who received from him
instead this slap in the face, are ashamed to re-
veal that one of their group lost consoiousness
when this phrase was thrust's in their faces. His
nerves shattered by the bloody events in the
streets, he fainted on hearing the stand of his
own party leader with regard to chose events.
And in Jewish circles in Poland, when the
question whether the Jew can depend upon the
present admnistration is brought up, Slawek's
sentence is mentioned much as the statement
made to a Jewish delegation which requested the
government not to invite Nazi Propaganda Minis-
ter Goebbels into Poland is always quoted. That
delegation was composed of Jews who deserved
the right to speak by virtue of their service in
the campaign which Poland waged against Hitler
during the early part of his regime. Now these
Jews came to the Polish government asking it
not to disgrace the Jews by bringing Goebbels
to such a community as Warsaw, where more
than 300,000 Jews live, and not to aid in the
anti-Semitic propaganda which Goebbels would
undoubtedly spread in his speech if he came to
Warsaw.
Insulting Reply
The reply from the Polish government to
this Jewish request was not only cynical, insult-
ing and disappointing, but it was outspokenly
pro-Hitler. Immediately after this reply was
delivered, the Jewish press in Warsaw received
orders not to print anything Which might offend
Goebbels. It was hinted to Jewis‘h organizations
that the government would not tolerate any anti-
Goebbels expressions, neither in demonstrations
nor leaflets. Jewish papers were confiscated for
not being careful with regard to their remarks
on Goebbels. All this took place' after the Polish
government had utilized the Jews as much as
possible in its campaign against Hitler's Germany.

For an interesting pers o

I commend to your consideration
Rabbi Kook, the chief rabbi of
Jerusalem, who recently came into
much prominence by reason of his
espousal of the cause of Staysky.
I particularly like the story they
tell about Kook anent his stand
on the question of religion in Pal-
' estine. •
As the story goes—and it is
authentic—the ultra-pious in Pal-
estine were raising one big now
about the fact that many of the
workers smoked on Saturday and
performed similar violations of _
the religious law.
"These impious workers should
not be admitted to Palestine,"
cried many of the devout Jews.
"Steps should be taken to see that
they are not granted certificates.
What do you say, Rabbi, Kook?"
ik the
And what do you th
leading Orthodox rabbi of Jeru-
salem said? Well, it was to this
effect:
"Let me recall to you some
Jewish story. In the ancient days
, of the kingdom of Israel, you will
remember, there was the Tem-
ple—to which all of the Jews
gathered for worship. And in this
Temple, there was the Holy of
Holies. So sacred was this spot
that only the High Priest could
enter it, and then only on the
rarest occasion. Yet when they
were building the Temple, the
Jewish workers continually entered
that zone. The workers could en-
ter when the High Priest could
not. The workers were forgiven
much because they were building.
And now, my friends, the workers
are building, too. We must not
interfere with that building."
In other words, the chief Ortho-
dox rabbi told the religious folk
that the workers were more im-
portant just then than the ob-
. serving.
. • •
Malik, too, once recalled a con-
, versation which he overheard in
which Rabbi Kook participated.
Some learned and exceedingly
, pious Jew was arguing a point
with Rabbi Kook, and this Jew
quoted copiously from this "Mes-
ichta" and that "Mesichta."
"But," replied Rabbi Kook, "you
fail to take note what the Mes-
ichta Zidkis (righteousness) says."
The man replied he knew of no
such Mesichta.
"You never heard of that Mes-
ichta!" gasped Rabbi Kook. "Well,
then, you have missed the main
Mesichta of Judaism."
Of course, literally speaking,
the man, and not the rabbi, was
right.

Guarding a Priceless Privilege
'There is still some diversity of opinion as
to the place where civilization first originated,
but we now have evidence to show that,
whether is was in Egypt, Sumeria, India or
elsewhere, it was the work of the Mediterran-
ean race. There is no adequate reason for
regarding this as in any sense due to any in-
nate qualities of initiative or skill on the part
of this race, but rather to historical circum-
- stances which impelled the people on the banks
of the Nile to embark on those pursuits which
led inevitably to the upbuilding of civilization.
It is a matter of some importance to em-
' phasize this fact at a time when distinctive
'qualities of mind and character are being
attributed to the Nordic race and the so-called
Aryan people. Although the introduction of
the latter term must be attributed to Professor
Max Mueller, it is important not to overlook
the fact that, in the face of intense criticism,
he was competed to admit that an "ethnologist
who speaks of the Aryan race, Aryan blood
or Aryan eyes and hair is as great a sinner
as a linguist who speaks of a dolichocephalic
dictionary or a brackhcephalic grammar.'
Those who insist upon the moral and intel-
lectual qualities of Aryans and talk about
primitive Aryan culture should be reminded
that it is more than doubtful that Aryans did
invent primitive culture in any other way than
by borrowing from Babylonia.
When one thinks of the trenchant exposure
of the Aryan fallacy by Huxley in 1890, it be-
comes an increasing matter of surprise that
the facts of anthropology should be so flag-
rantly misused at the present time by applying
the word Aryan as equivalent to non-Jewish.
