Hadassah's New Project

Hadassah, the women's Zionist organ-
ization of America, is to be commended
for assuming responsibility for the settle-
ment of Jewish children from Germany in
Palestine.
Known as the Youth Aliyah, this new
colonization project is one of the most
merciful pieces of work undertaken by
any group of Jews in the world today.
There is no greater tragedy in the world
today than that of the humiliated Jewish
children who are being trampled under
the heels of the Nazis, These children,
whose parents are prepared to sacrifice
the chance of ever seeing them again as
long as there is a possibility of their being
saved somewhere, must be taken out of
the land which should be placed under a
ban similar to that of the Spanish Cherem
400 years ago. The youth must be saved.
and it is to be hoped that Hadassah will
be enabled to save as many as possible.
Relieved of its major responsibility in
providing for the health of Palestine—
oat of the hospitals now being supported
by the Palestine communities themselves
—Iladassab is the ideal agency to under-
take the work for the Youth Aliyah. It
is fitting that the mothers in Israel should
undertake to save the children of Israel.
May Hadassah be blessed with courage
in her new humanitarian effort.

Exit: Dr. Max Natunann

Dr. Max Naumann, president of the
League of National German Jews, is re-
ported under arrest, in Berlin and his
aasimilationist organization has been dis-
solved by the Nazis.
The reasons given for this dissolution
are that this league insisted on its rights to
display the German flag—something that
is forbidden to Jews by the Nazis—and
these so-called German Nationalist Jews
had refused to display the Zionist flag
which had been reserved by Hitlerism for
the Jews; and the continued repudiation
of the racial principle and insistent advo-
cacy of assimilation in defiance of Nazi
theories that Jews are a race apart.
The most tragic figure in Germany to-
day is Dr. Max Naumann. He insisted ;lot
only on claiming German allegiance but in
denying definite Jewish principles in his
quest for Germanism. He fought and
hated the Zionists and made overtures to
the Nazis. Had he been accepted by Hit-
ler, it is possible that not an iota of Jewish
loyalty would have stirred him. Now he
stands repudiated, his organization is dis-
solved and his assimilationist cravings are
destroyed by the Nazis themselves. Thus
Herr Naumann is a shining example of the
futility of self-hate and self-destruction.

Obstructive Revisionism

As long as Revisionism seeks a place in
the sun on the basis of a party platform
which it presents in a dignified and con-
structive fashion, no Zionists will object to
their rantings. But when Revisionists—
we hope their leaders will brand them as
irresponsible—come to important organ-
izations and tell them to boycott not only
the Zionist Organization, which they
choose to look upon as an avowed enemy,
but also the Jewish National Fund. which
has become beloved as a sacred fund of
the entire Jewish people, then a halt should
be called to such outrageous instigation
against existing institutions and funds.
The action we refer to was an experi-
ence of a local organization. It is to be
hoped that this, and other groups before
whom Revisionists may choose to spread
such damaging propogonda, will repudi-

In ■ recent article, Ludwig Lewisohn assails
my contention that. by repudiating radicalism and
apologizing for Jews who are Communists. we
play directly and tragically into Fascist hands.
Much of what he writes, including references to
my "shocking blindness" and "nauseous affection"
may be dismissed as shabby personalities. a:-
though his comment on my intellectual "proem-

migtaimed his return to America by accepting

Nor can I take eenously the "accusation"
of Communism he levels against me. The fact
that I do not happen to be a member of the
Communist Party is no more relevant than the
fact that I am in deepest sympathy with Its basic
social and human purposes, or that, with certain
reservations, I profoundly admire the progres-
sive translations of those purposes into reality in
Soviet Russia.
Apart from personalities and irrelevancies,
however, Mr. Lewisohn makes certain state-
ments which require answer. Briefly these are

2. Jews being in a minority, must not ad-

3. There are no Fascists in America, nor
any danger of Faaeism.
