Federation and Community
Among the gems in Joseph Kastein's
great work, "History and Destiny of the
Jews," is the following description of the
status of the Jewish people:
"Among the civilized races of the wqrld,
the Jewish people are at once the best
and the least known. It is one of the tragic
peculiarities of their fate that they could
never be ignored, and have thus been
constantly obliged to face the criticism of
the rest of the world—their non-Jewish
environment—and stand or fall by it.
Various attempts have been made, from
time to time, to correct the inaccuracies
which have crept into the Gentile portraits
of the Jew—innacuracies which were in-
evitable since they were the outcome of
judgments inspired by particular motives,
by human passions, animosity and incom-
patibility. But they served no useful pur-
pose. Fora people as intensely vital as
the Jews stand in no need of an apologia.
On the contrary, they require above all to
be constantly reminded of their true na-
ture, so that they may never be in danger
of forgetting the stupendous responsibili-
ties which have been imposed upon them
on this earth."
The editor happened to read this extract
after the human explosion which took
place at the conference of Jewish organi-
zations in Hotel Stotler on Sunday after-
noon, and it served to provide a philo-
sophical approach to the problem which is
agitating the community at this time.
It is not only the Jewish people that is
at once the best and least known. It Sp-
pe ars as if the groups within Jewry are
at once the least and best known to Jews
th emselves. The conference, which was
ea Bed for the purpose of considering the
!ed for the building of a new home for
th e aged, revealed how deep-rooted is the
di strust that the several elements in Jewry
hz we one for another, and what little un-
(1 ( Tstanding there is of issues involved and
th e various contending groups.
What a sad comment on existing condi-
ti( ms in Jewry that a meeting called for
th re purpose of planning the building of
at adequate home for aged and infirm
st lould have been converted into an out-
irst of passion! Instead of viewing the
sue involved, a group of embittered in-
d ividuals utilized the occasion for an st-
ta ack upon the Jewish Welfare Federation.
A nd the sentiments expressed were revela-
ti ons: the Federation, these gentlemen and
Is dies charged, has failed; it has done
othing until now to solve the existing
roblem; we shall have nothing to do with
It . The ridiculous charges went to such
ctremes that when the gathering balloted
oi ri the one motion of the conference-
dling for the appointment of a commit-
te e to lay plans for the best methods of
c( mducting a campaign for a Jewish Old
Folks Home—two irresponsible individ-
U ala resorted to oratory intended to influ-
e nce the spokesmen for so many Jewish
rganizations against participating in a
ic tint compaign with the Jewish Welfare
F ederation.
We label such demagogic appeals as
it responsible because those who fanned
tl he flames of distrust against the Feder&
ti on misled their followers on the follow.
i r fig points:
1. It is the Jewish Welfare Federation
th at makes it possible, with a substantial
St ibsidy, for the Jewish Old Folks Home
o continue to function.
2. It is the Jewish Welfare Federation,
with funds raised in the Allied Jewish
Campaign, that assures the perpetuation
of traditional Jewish agencies such as the
Gemilath Chassodim (Hebrew Free Loan
Association), Ilachnosas Orchim (House
of Shelter), as well as health and educa-
tional agencies. To emphasize that the
community's organizations ought to di-
vorce themselves from the Jewish Welfare
Federation and conduct a drive of their
own for an Old Folks Home is tantamount
to proposing to Detroit Jewry that we
ought to 'forget all other causes simply
because the hour demands prime interest
in the needs of our aged people.
3. It is the Jewish Welfare Federation
that has secured the necessary funds for
German-Jewish relief and for the upbuild-
ing of Palestine. To ignore the tragedy of
German Jewry, and the sufferings of
Polish Jewry—which are similarly allevi-
ated with funds raised by the Federa-
tion—would mean that we were to act as
scoundrels in an hour which tests our
loyalty and our compassion for fellow-
Jews and fellow-humans who are being
trampled under the heels of oppression.
And a bill of divorce from the Federation
which has been raising the necessary funds
in behalf of the European sufferers can
r-A possibly be interpreted otherwise.
Put this is not a one-sided picture. The
Yiddish speaking organizations are as un-
fair to the Federation as the Federation
,
-
is to them. It is impossible to say of either
group that it understands the other. There
'is complete misunderstanding and misin-
terpretation of facts and issues. While it
is rightfully stated that the rank and file
of the Yiddish • speaking groups benefits
from the agencies supported by the Feder-
ation, it is unfair to eliminate them from
the community picture.
At Sunday's meeting Dr. A. M. Hersh-
man—whose timely observations saved the
conference from confusion—pointed out
that "The Federation IS the community."
If it is, and it 'certainly is the only
agency that can lay claim to this title, then
the few branches of Jewry which have not
been included in the fold must be provided
for in the formation of an all-inclusive rep-
resentative Jewish community body.
Misunderstanding must breed misunder-
standing. That has been our unfortunate
lot. It is time that we made understanding
the basis for our work. It is immaterial
whether the so-called "mass of Jewry"
representative of the Yiddish-speaking
groups can raise much money in a cam-
paign; although it is material to the argu-
ment that without the large contributions
that are gathered from affiliated members
of the Jewish Welfare Federation, an in-
dependent drive for an Old Folks Home
or any other institution must prove a col-
ossal failure. If this is an united com-
munity, then every element must be rep-
resented in it. And it is high time that
the Federation found a way of solving this
problem of representation.
One of the speakers at Sunday's confer-
ence warned that conditions are so tragic
in Jewish life today that sooner or later
the Jewish masses will have to work with
the "Yahudim"—and therefore why not
try to reach an understanding now. The
implication is a clear one. In other coun-
tries they are pogroms, anti-Jewish feel-
ing, anti-Semitic outbursts that unite us.
Sooner or later we may be driven to such
united action in this country. Then why
not unite now? This is the saddest com-
mentary on the existing state of affairs
in Jewish life: that we must wait for out-
side pressure to create an unifying instru-
ment.
let the unifying instrument rather be
the common ideal of Israel. Without this
common idealism we are doomed and our
institutions will rot and their spokesmen
be turned into beggars. By acquiring
understanding, such a collapse can be
averted. But understanding is not a one-
sided instrumentality. It must be made
a mutual means of approach. The Yiddish-
speaking organizations must refuse to lis-
ten to demagogic agitators who harbor
hatred and bias and who seek to discredit
the Federation. This is unfair and must
be stamped as a community wrong. But
the Federation, on the other hand, is obli-
gated to recognize the existence of the
large number of organizations, their needs
and their problems, in order to achieve
unity in the community, and in order that
the Federation should actually become
THE community.
We plead for mutual understanding and
a lack of bias. Otherwise we shall not be
building anything, but will merely be
destroying.

A Hollywood Achievement
The motion picture "The President
Vanishes" has rightfully been labeled
an outstanding achievement of the motion
picture colony in Hollywood.
Aside from the fact that it is such a
decisive condemnation of the war propa-
ganda. it is at the same time an even more
serious condemnation of any attempt to in-
troduce a "shirt movement" in this coun-
try. The horrors whicn accompany the ac-
tivities of "The Grey Shirts" in this pic-
ture should serve as a sufficient argument
to condemn any attempt to introduce such
a movement in this country. As pictured
in "The President Vanishes," nothing more
horrible can come to any country than the
introduction of such a damaging move-
ment to our shores.
The producers of this picture are to be
congratulated. Emphasis on such themes
will certainly be the greatest contribution
'that Hollywood can make to the welfare
of this country.

Q. Was Martin Luther friendly
to the Jews?— A. A.
A. During the first part of his
career Luther pubished several
pamphlets in which he protested
his respect and admiration for the
Jewish people. His friendly ges-

pose of paving the way for a mass
conversion, for when the Jews did
not respond to his friendship, his
attitude changed and he launched
a bitter denunciation against them,
urging massacre and confiscation.
His totally different stands have
been made use of in anti-Semitic

The Ehrlich Anniversary
The silver wedding anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich was a remark-
able demonstration of the manner in which
the community recognizes the loyalty of
its members, and the manner in which
Jews are prepared to honor those who
give devotedly and unselfishly of their
time, their means and their energy for the
good of Israel.
The thousands who came to Hotel Stot-
ler to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Ehrlich
registered the sentiments of the commu-
nity in appreciation of the numerous con-
tributions the two leaders made to the
upbuilding of Palestine, to the framing of
a community program and to the relief
of want. The numerous gifts made in their
honor on this occasion to various causes,
the planting of an Ehrlich Garden in the
Jewish National Fund Forests in Pales-
tine, the Hadassah tribute—these are
among the evidences of appreciation ex-
pressed to the Ehrlichs.
The fact that husband and wife should
have devoted themselves untiringly for so
many years to so many causes, and should
have made so many institutions and na-
tional agencies their common interest is
an important fact which invited the great
tribute paid them. It should serve to en-
courage others to devote themselves sim-
ilarly to the welfare of their community.
We join with the community in congrat-
ulating the Ehrlichs on this happy occa-
sion.
Germany's Nervous Breakdown
er MAW
(l'opYright,
Correspondent)
1935. Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
EDITOR'S NOTE: The well known psychologist, Dr. Wolfe, author of "Calm
Your Nerves" (Farrar and Rinehart), in this article psychoanalyzes Germany and in
so doing establishes an explanation of the national mind that made the spectacle of
Ilitlerism possible among a civilized people.
T
HE conduct of nations is governed by the
same psychological laws that govern the
conduct of individuals, and while we can-
not speak of a "group mind" or a "national psy-
chology" de facto, it is possible to analyze his-
torical movements "as if" they were the move-
ments of an individual under a comparable set
of circumstancea. Nations, like individuals, are
actuated by the desire for peace and security, as
a compensation for inferiority feelings which
may date back centuries. Sometimes this sense
of inferiority is no profound that mere security
does not offer sufficient compensation. Super-
iority, dominance, Jehovah-like omnipotence are
the price of security. These strivings for secur-
ity meet with resistance from members of the
society of nations, just as similar strivings arouse
the aggressive counter-attacks of individuals in
a social group. A defeat of the strivings for
superiority, a loss of "face," subordination and
subjugation in an individual lead to the condi-
tion usually known as "nervous breakdown."
Germany is having a nervous breakdown at
present.
To begin with, Germany suffered the humilia-
tion of adolescence during the Napoleonic period.
As a compensation she developed an aggressive
militarism to make up for the defeats, the tortur-
ing inferiority complex, which she endured while
the little Napoleon was working out his personal
destiny at the expense of European politics. As
in many neurotic cases, the means of compensa-
tion, military force, became an end in itself. As
soon as an end, a means, a method of attaining
a neurotic goal of security is elevated and even
defied into an end in itself, it usually destroys
itself and the final goal for which it was created.
Tffe Jew Offered as Sacrifice
In the World War the aggressive military pol-
icy of expansion at the expense of the political
community was given the lie. Political coopera-
tion, between the Allies, proved more effective
than egotistic virtuosity. Germany suffered the
most crushing and bitter defeat in modern times,
and the bitterness of the defeat was made more
bitter by the humiliations imposed by the Treaty
of Versailles. Stunned, Germany went through
the usual symptomatic throes that attend the
onset of a nervous breakdown: indecision, des-
pair, confusion, hysterical explosions. After the
first symptoms wore off, after the victorious Al-
lies tried to soften the tragedy by encouraging
a German renascence, the militarist class in
Germany sought to retrieve its place in the sun,
and find power and glory again.
In order to accomplish this end, it became
imperative to exculpate the egregious failure of
the World War. The youth of Germany camped
under the ennui of unemployment and under the
pall of a hopeless future paying the world the
costs of their fathers' folly. Suicide mounted.
COEMENT
toutic •
In order to prevent a national suicide, a scape-
goat had to be found, and once you begin seek-
ing for a scapegoat, it is not difficult to find one.
The historical scapegoat lay close at hand: the
Jews. Not the folly of Militarist aggrandisement
had lost the war: it was the - Jewish bankers who
bored from within and sold out to the enemy.
Not the folly of aggressive isolation and the
arrogance of the big stick caused the world to
unite against Germany: it was the Jews, those
age-old internationalists.
Building Up an Alibi
The technique of a nervous breakdown is
simple: You fail in a critical situation because
your "private logic" has been knocked out by
the superior force of common sense, the force
of reality. You go through a brief terror, end
as you recover from the immediate sting of
defeat, you unconsciously build up an alibi. If
•
you can, you save your face by hanging the
blame on the convenient shoulders of a scape-
goat. The technique of any nervous breakdown
usually crystallizes in some simple device whose
neurotic nature usually is apparent to everyone
but the neurotic. In the case of Germany, this
is IIitlerism. Just as a nervous stomach or a
palpitating heart may become the loudspeaker
of a personality in the throes of a nervous break-
down, no Hitler has become the mouthpiece of a
distraught Germany. Once the technique is
crystallized, nothing else matters. Reason is
thrown to the winds, reality is excluded from
consideration. The neurotic believes that by
protesting loudly enough he will communicate
his own self-deception to the rest of the world.
Hitler and his gang must be credited with a
certain amount of shrewd psychological insight.
The Germans have never been known for their
sense of humor. They have swallowed the
Hitler propaganda with evident satisfaction.
When a gypsy is hungry, so the old saying goes,
he whistles. When a German is hard pressed, he
marches in a goose-stepping batallion.
Hitler has given Germany plenty of uniforms
and goose-stepping to divert the attention of the
populace from the ignominy of defeat in the
World War. Jew-baiting gives temporary em-
ployment to all the unemployed young hoodlums
in the country. Fearful lest Jew-baiting pall on
the populace, Hitler and Co. clumsily fired the
Reichstag to make a scape-goat out of the Com-
munists. Himself a homosexual, one of the first
acts of the Reichskanzler was to burn the books
of Magnus Hirschfeld (who may have known
too much) and exile hint from the country.
Freud, too, whose teachings would point Un-
comfortably to the psychosexual infantilism of
the man who governs destinies, was also treated
to a literary auto-da-fe. And Germany's woman-
hood, which bore the brunt of the war, has been
put back nearly five centuries by a legislative
castration unparalleled in history. Heil Hitler!

FRIEDRICH WOLF, REVOLU-
TIONARY PLAYWRIGHT
If a certain Fascist firing squad
had acted with more speed one
winter morning 14 years ago,
Friedrich Wolf would not be
alive today, and the Theater
Union would not be presenting
"Sailors of Cattaro," his revolu-
tionary play that has received the
acclaim of New York critics.
A revolutionist before he is a
playwright, this 46-year-old Ger-
man author in exile, who has been
sailor, soldier, worker and physi-
cian, has taken an active part in
the struggle of the working class,
so that instead of inhabiting is
"Red ivory tower" and writing
vicariously of strife, he creates
from actual experience.
A syndicalist settlement for
veterans set up at Wormswede,
Germany, in 1921 provided Wolf
with the material for his first
play, "Colony Dog." The colony
was built up with the greatest ef-
fort by the soldiers themselves.
Among them was Wolf, who dug
peat. Like the others, he had
gone into the project fired with
enthusiasm, expecting that it
would set a successful precedent
for the establishment of similar
colonies. But the settlement
proved to be an illusion; the gov-
ernment withdrew its subsidies,
and that was the bitter end of
the experiment. He realized then
the futility of such attempts and
embodies in a drama his Worm-
swede experience.
After this, Wolf returned to
the practice of medicine. He
might have had a lucrative prac-
tice in the city. Instead, he
chose to go out among the small
farmers and poor weavers of
Southern Germany. He lived with
them, worked with them, and doc-
tored them. "Poor Conrad," his
second play, dramatized one of
the revolutionary traditions of
these people—the peasant insur-
rection of 1514.

grew out of Wolf's pre-Worm-
swede days shortly after the war,
when he served as city physician
of Remschield. Here he came in
contact with the workers' move-

ried in his mind for years the
bitter memory of these under-
paid, half-starved metal workers,
raising large families they could
not support, and finally he wrote
"Cyankali," advocating legal
abortion.
A NARROW ESCAPE
While Wolf was in Memschied,
the first Fascist Kapp-Putsch
took place, the event which al-
most prevented "Cyankali" and
"Sailors of Cattarro" from ever
being written. On Starch 3,

Jews Play Prominent Part
In U. S. Recovery Program
By NATHAN KOENIG
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Ameri-
can Jewry is playing its part in the
drive to restore this nation's eco-
nomic stability and the develop-
ment of social security.
Never before in this country's
history has leadership been called
upon to combat depression as it has
during the past year and a half.
In the ranks of this leadership are
several Jews, some of whom have
made personal sacrifices to render
public service. And following the
government's drive for recovery are
approximately 4,000,000 American
'Jews engaged in every walk of life.
'Jew and Gentile alike have joined
hands in one great common cause
to make this nation a better coun-
try in which to live.
To Jewry's credit in high gov-
ernmental circles are ten members
of Congress, one cabinet officer, two
Supreme Court justices, three dip-
lomatic envoys to foreign countries,
and a number of lawyers, econo-
