Max Warburg's Farewell
"Jews Thoroughly Dealt With"
A recent issue of the Detroit daily Ger-
man newspaper, the Abendpost, carried a
statement made by a visitor to Germany
and to Hitler, under the headline "Theo.
S. Hoffman besucht Hitler."
Aside from the fact that this story is a
complete whitewashing of occurrences in
Germany, the returned visitor from Nazi-
land takes occasion to discuss "Die Rassen-
frage," in the course of which he quotes
the appeal to the Jews of Germany by the
arch-assimilator, Dr. Max Naumann, who
urged all Jews to be loyal to the present
regime and to vote "Ja" in the election of
Aug. 19, 1934.
In order that the readers of the De-
troiter Abendpost should not be misled,
the true facts must be stated. In the first
place, Dr. Naumann's League of Jewish
National Jews is not a representative body
but is a group of extremists who will bow
down to almost anything, even the kissing
of the hands of those who rob them of all
human rights and reduce them to second-
class citizenship. Secondly, there are cer-
tain undisputed facts which speak for
themselves. Frederick T. Birchall, head
of the New York Times European Bureau,
writing from Berlin last week, gave the
following resume of the true state of Jew-
ish affairs in Germany:
No additional laws relating to Jews have
been decreed in the last year, but the Jews
had already been thoroughly dealt with in the
preceding year. They are barred from all
official positions. In law and medicine, the
small nucleus retained 'in the first general
clearance still remains in practice, but no
more can be admitted, because German Jews
can take university degrees only if they be-
come foreigners.
However, in respect to whatever political
rights remain in Germany—which means the
right to vote in national plebiscites—Jews are
on an equal footing with other Germans. The
Nazi party, of course, does not admit them to
membership.
The same is true In business. Economics
Minister lijalmar Schacht had issued repeated
orders against surreptitious boycott discrimin-
ations. However, this is where extralegal
party action comes in. There are surreptitious
boycotts against Jews in many towns, and
open boycotting constantly crops out.
Jews are fair game for Nazi hotheads,
exemplified by Julius Streicher. In some towns
even high schools advertise themselves "free
of Jews." Other towns permit Jews to stay
only a short time within their precincts.
The official National Socialist organization
for retail trade recently issued a question-
naire to its Aryan members, asking "Must
you buy from Jews? If so, why and what
goods?"
Yet no objection was raised when Dr. Fried-
rich Bergius recently accepted the Melchett
medal, bestowed by the Duke of Kent.
It is an unfortunate fact that "Jews have
been thoroughly dealt with" in Germany,
and no misinformation to the contrary
must be permitted to mislead world pub-
lic opinion.
By HENRY W. LEVY
(JTA Special
The Pariser Tagleblatt, which reported
this incident, stated that a deadly silence
prevailed as Mr. Warburg folded his nap-
kin, bowed coldly and left the banquet
hall upon the conclusion of this little
speech.
It is natural that the Nazis should dis-
like this man. In the first place he is a
Jew and the Nazis can't stomach his di-
recting a great industry. Secondly, he has
unleashed a stinging rebuke for which
they can not possibly forgive him. What-
ever reports of vengeance wreaked upon
him may come to us will therefore be
easily explained upon reading his master-
ful farewell address.

A FIRST PLAYWRIGHT
S N. Behrman, to my way of
thinking, is one of the most neg-
lected of modern playwrights. Not
that his plays cry of loneliness in
an attic trunk, fist that his pro-
duced plays do not attract custom-
ers and not that he isn't highly re-
garded by the critics, but that he
hasn't received the universal high
approbation of the critics of the
theater, that is his due And too
few critics, so far, have recog-
nized him for penetrating, sincere
theatrical thinker that he is. A
master of dialogue, he is America's
greatest, they all say. But that
is not enough. Instead of casting
aspersions on his art by talking
about a too-thin story the critics
might well show greater insight
by discouraging on the depths and
subtleties of his writings. If El-
mer Rice was right about critical
shortcomings, no better case could
be presented than that of S. N.
Behrman.
These thoughts are prompted by
a recent attendance at his latest
and best play, "Rain •From }lea-
ven," which the Theater Guild is
currently presenting with Jane
Cowl and John Ilalliday in the
leads. But they are thoughts that
have long been latent in my mind.
To come right out about it, I think
Mr. Behrman is the finest living
American playwright. I think, that
both by reason of what he has al-
ready written and by reason of
what we have a right to expect a
still young man to write in the
future, that he has a greater
chance of enduring that almost any
other contemporary American
playwright, as good a chance as
any.
I contend, that with few except-
ions, Behrman has been viewed as
a writer of light, parlor froth. I
believe that the grace of his wit
and the charm with which he turns
a phrase has obscured the depth
of feeling and the weight of
thought expressed in his plays.
• • •
Max Warburg, senior director of the
Hamburg-American line until his recent
removal by the Nazis, and head of a Ham-
burg banking house, recently aroused the
ire of Hitlerites who condemned him as an
accomplice to the boycott.
Perhaps the anger of the Nazis can be
attributed to an interesting lesson taught
by Herr Warburg to the stupid extremists
in Germany who are undermining every-
thing that has been rebuilt in the decade
which followed the war.
It was Max Warburg who, together with
the late Albert Bailin, built the Hamburg-
American Line into a powerful mercantile
fleet. It went against the grain of arch
anti-Semites that a Jew should remain as
the head of so important an agency as the
hamburg-American Line. Word there-
fore came from Hitler that Warburg be
removed, But his co-directors felt the
pangs of conscience, and therefore de-
cided to give a banquet in Warburg's
honor, thus to honor him for his services.
The heads of the great German shipping
industry assembled at the dinner were dis-
mayed by surprise when Max Warburg,
as the banquet was about to commence,
arose to ask for permission to say a few "RAIN FROM HEAVEN"
words, and then unburdened himself of
Take his latest play as a case
the following farewell:
in point. "Rain From Heaven" is
G'entlemen, when I look about me, I find,
kindly excuse my frankness, not a single man
who has done anything of importance for
the German _Shipping Industry. The great and
mighty shipping industry is primarily the work
of two Jews. The one is the deceased Albert
Bailin, the other is this man who has the
honor of standing before you.
It is not my habit to speak about myself,
but as I know that you want to tell me some-
thing and are perhaps ashamed to say it, I
shall allow myself to help you.
If you were here in my place and I in yours,
I would say: "My dear Mr. Warburg, it is
difficult for us to part from a man who to-
gether with Albert Bailin created and made
great our corporation, the Hamburg-American
Line. It is difficult for us to lose in you a
citizen who, in the War, made such great sac-
rifices and rendered such service. And in
addition we cannot forget that at the end of
the war it was you and you alone who, out of
only ruins, recreated with your energy and
your money the German shipping industry.
And if we,—new people here,—must separate
ourselves from our old co-worker, then it is
our fault and not yours."
This is what I would say if I were in your
place. However, the situation being what it
is, you must now permit me to withdraw and
bid you farewell, until such time when you
will once again need me.
"Love" From Germany: Transplanted To Palestine
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following sketch which appeared in "Haarets," the Hebrew
daily of Tel Aviv, describes one of the institutions for which the Jewish
National Fund has provided land in the Emek Zebulun in the Haifa 13•0 area.
For some months past, telephone subscribers
in Ilaifa have been amused, from time to time,
by an unusual form of entertainment. The tele-
phone rings, and the caller at the other end of
the line announces:
"Love speaking!"
The listener, of course, regaled by this di-
verting announcement, will, if he is inclined to
jouclarity, bandy sarcasms and jests, until the
caller, after patiently repeating "Love! Love!
Ahava!" explains:
"This is the Young People's House, 'Ahava!'
in Neve Shannon calling."
But this joke cannot be kept up forever. The
institution "Ahava" is on the lookout for a new
name, a more "serious" name. How-ever, even
before the change takes place, a "Love" is con-
vertod into the "Sons of Zebulun," or some such
smooth sounding title, some facts about this in-
stitution and what it seeks to accomplish in Pal-
estine, will be of interest.
Educational Work Among Youth
In the minds of us who come from Ger-
many, the name "Ahava" arouses no thought of
derision or amusement. When we hear this
word again here in our country, we are re-
minded of an important educational movement,
the transfer to Palestine of which may justly
be considered as the laying of one more brick
in the reconstruction of the Land of Israel.
"Ahava," has been, and is still today, a model
institution in the German Jewish community
for educational work among the youth. It may
be said with full confidence that no other edu-
cational movement in Germany has embodied
the principles of modern education with greater
earnestness and sincerity that "Ahava," and in
no other place was it more firstly believed that
the power which impels every educational activ-
ity is that force which is called love. And it
was indeed love—the name by which this Young
People's House is known—which served as the
foundation and ,inspired the program for its
work. It is a far cry from the little kitchen for
Jewish children founded during the Great War,
and opened in Berlin in August, 1914, for three
young pupils—to the "Home for Refugees"
which sheltered 500 children of Jewish families
who had fled from the horrors of the War in
Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine—and to the
model Young 'People's House established in a
proletarian quarter in Berlin, which served as
a sort of sanctuary for the communal life of the
Jews of the metropolis. The road which led to
this achievement was long indeed, and paved
with a multitude of sacrifices, of which only true
"love" could have been capable of making.
The work of this institution has now come
to Light as a result of its transfer, in part, to
Palestine. Here, in its casual station in' Neve
Shaanan, it is awaiting the completion of its new
home in Emek Zebulun, between Kiriyat Haim
and Kiriyat Bialik, on a site of several acres
provided by the Jewish National Fund.

The reason is that Behrman did
not set out to write a polemic
against Ilitlerism; that his play
was born in his mind around a per-
