Youth Comes to the Fore

A careful study of the program adopted
by the newly-created Association of De-
troit Jewish Youth will show that there is
a very encouraging trend in the ranks of
our young people to take part in important
Jewish affairs, to contribute constructively
to Jewish causes and to repudiate false
assimilation.
Pledges of endorsement of Jewish edu-
cational efforts, the work for the redemp-
tion of Palestine, overseas relief efforts
and whatever steps may be taken for the
readjustment of Jewish youth efforts eco-
nomically and culturally, form a very
commendable platform.
The task undertaken by the new youth
association is not an easy one. It requires
hard work, and it will demand a consistent
educational program to encourage Jewish
young men and women to adhere to this
platform and to carry it into effect. The
older groups in the city owe an obligation
to this youth movement to encourage them
in this program.

The Fight on Fascism

, Resolutions adopted by the annual con-
vention of the Young People's League of
the United Synagogue of America, at ses-
sions held in New York, endorsed organ-
ized opposition to Fascism.
Meeting in Baltimore, the Church
League for Industrial Democracy, an Epis-
copal organization, voted to join the Amer-
ican League Against War and Fascism
in order to combat Fascist tendencies in
this country.
But following the latter meeting, John
J. Cornwell, former Democratic Governor
of West Virginia and at present general
counsel for the B. & O. Railroad, threat-
ened—in Al Smith fashion—to "take a
walk" out of the Protestant Episcopal
Church because, as he said, his "hair stood
on end" when he read the resolutions of
the C. L. I. D. "I drew the line," said
Cornwell, "when I saw that they advo-
cated social equality with Negroes in
church offices and they wanted to stop
those who would penalize overthrow of
our Government by force or who would
stop disaffection in the army and navy."
To which the following reply was made
by the Rev. W. Owings Stone, rector of
St. Mary's Church and president of the
Church League for Industrial Democracy:
"Former Governor Cornwell will find a
majority of people in the Protestant Epis-
copal Church unfortunately holding his
views. It may comfort him to know the
Church League for Industrial Democracy
is not an official organization of his church
and that only a minority of the members
of his church belong to the league. How-
ever, that is a militant minority for social
justice among men and nations and in ac-
cord with the pastoral letter adopted by
our own House of Bishops at Davenport,
Iowa, November 1933."
This discussion is important and interest-
ing because it shows how Fascists and
anti-Fascists are aligned in this country.
The railroad magnate, the man who de-
sires to adopt disaffection bills which
would undermine freedom of expression in
this country, are no doubt in the Fascist
class. The man who wishes to assure equal
rights for all races and creeds is the anti-
Fascist.
We are pleased to know that there have
been no objections to the anti-Fascist
resolutions of the Young People's League
of the United Synagogue of America. We
hope that all Jews will desire to stay in
the anti-Fascist ranks.

Do Jews Break the Boycott?

Serious charges are levelled against
Jews, especially against the Jewish wo-
men, that they are directly responsible for
the slowing up of activities in behalf of
the boycott of German goods. It is stated
on excellent authority that many Jewish
women insist on expensive German ar-
ticles to fill in sets of china or other house-
hold goods.
It is time that vanity and selfishness was
forgotten at a time when unity is required
to strike at the heart of the Nazi regime,
by undermining it economically.
This is a war between democratic ideals
and the world's most oppressive system. In
time of war one does not think in terms
of possessing Bavarian china. Those who
place the need of a complete set of Ger-
man china above Jewish unity are traitors.
There is not an article made in Germany
that can not be replaced by one equally as
good that is made in the United States.
Even chemicals and drugs are today re-
placable by our own products. To use
the excuse of necessity is therefore a cow-
ardly way of helping the Nazis.
The boycott of Nazi-made goods must
go on uninterruptedly. Nothing must stand
in the way of a complete attack on the
government that seeks to crush all human
rights and to perpetuate a militaristic dic-
tatorship.
Jews especially must neither sell nor buy
German goods. All libertarians must boy-
cott goods and ideas that emanate from
Hitler-land.

Semitic movements in Poland, Rumania
and Austria, and the Fascists of England,
too, are learning from the Hitlerites. In
the Fascist, official publication of the Brit-
ish Fascist Union, we read this statement:

Britain will not always be in the hands of
feminine men. It is new. But that is a pass-
ing phase. The men of England are being
governed by women. The voting strength of
the women is greater than that of the men.
Why should a masculine man go to the polls to
be voted down by women? That cannot last.
The Aryan holds women in greater reverence
than anyone else, but government by women
is not an Aryan tradition. When the MUM-
line man wakes up to his subjection to Jew-
ish-inspired "ideals" and once more becomes
conscious of his own great mission as an
Aryan, there will be no more government by
Britons by women's votes. Meanwhile, we
have to endure this among many other humilia-
tions: Government of Britain by the women
for the Jew.

This might just as well have appeared
in the Voelkischer Beobachter or the An-
griff. It is pure Nazism and reeks with
poison from the Third Reich. It has the
same flavor as the following poem which
is taught to the children in the schools of
East Prussia and Western Germany:

The Pope sits in Rome on a silken throne,
His priests are all over us here.
What has the son of a German mother
To do with the Pope and his priests?
Time goes by but the priest remains
To steal the people's soul,
And whether he's Roman or Lutheran,
He embodies the faith of the Jew.
We need no intermediaries to get into !leaven.
The sun and the stare shine for us,
And Blood and the Sword and the Wheel of
the Sun
Are always fighting on our aide.

Thus the poison of Hitlerism is spread-
ing, and the disseminators of hate are not
satisfied with keeping it within the frame-
work of the reactionary Nazi state. The
responsibilities of anti-Fascists similarly
increase with the spread of Nazism.which
must be fought wherever it raises its ugly
head.

Anti-Semitism Diagnosed

Admitting antagonism between non-
Jews and Jews in Lithuania, Dr. Grinius,
ex-president of Lithuania and president of
the Lithuanian Democrat Party, in a state-
ment made in Kovno recently said there
are three reasons for it: Psychological,
religious and economic. Psychologically he
believes there will always be antagonism
between town and country, the Jews being
townsmen whose interests often clash with
those of the Lithuanian countrymen.
Speaking of the second reason he stated:
"Religion, too, especially fanatical Cath-
olicism, has helped to create that antagon-
ism between the pious Catholic Lithuani-
ans and the 'infidel' Jews." It is on the
third point, however, that his views have
special significance, and we therefore
quote him:

But the most important reason is the eco-
nomic one, the effort to displace one another
from the entrenched positions each side is
occupying. The Jews came here 500 years ago
at the invitation of Grand Duke Vitauts in
order to establish the commercial and indus-
trial life of the country. Later they were ex-
iled by Sigismund the Holy, who was urged
on by the religious fanatics of the time and
still more by the rising rival class of the
Lithuanian urban element. Then they were
invited to return, owing to the hopeless stag-
nation of economic life which followed their
banishment.
The first years after the Great War, saw a
marked improvement in Jewish-Lithuanian
relations. This was due to the fact that Jew
and Gentile had fought hand by hand for the
liberation of the country.
Now these good relations have given way to
a lamentable policy of chauvinism, with the
countryman pressing to enter the towns. The
Lithuanian wants to know why the Jew should
occupy professional and industrial positions
and not the Lithuanian Activities of a "jingo
patriotic" nature and anti-Semitic slogans
follow.
Difficult as the position is, the Jews should
not be displaced from the positions they oc-
cupy. They should enjoy the advantageous
conditions which they have obtained by their
ability and energy. Jewish emancipation is not
something based on tolerance and humani-
tarianism alone. It is not "marriage for love"
only, but also a "marriage of convenience."
We must not push the Jewish minority of
Lithuania into the arms of the semi-patriotic
and anti-patriotic elements.

(Copyright, 1536, H. A. C. H )

A GENIUS RETURNS
Prof. Max Reinhardt, genius of
the European theater, who made
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
for Warner Bros., has returned to
Hollywood from the eastern met-
ropolis for conferences with Jack
L. Warner and Hal Wallis, re-
garding his next film. Definite an-
nouncement as to what it will be
is expected within a week.
Reinhardt's plans are somewhat
unaettled. Ile may remain in Hol-
lywood only two weeks and then
return to New York enroute to
Saalzburg, Austria. where he will
produce for his famous theater
there. In that event he would not
return to Hollywood to begin work
on his second film undertaking un-
til Fall.
ABILITY RECOGNIZED
As a mark of recognition on the
completion of his 12th year with
Paramount, Boris Morros has a
new long-term contract as general
director of music and, in addition,
was made a producer of musical
pictures. Maros joined Paramount
a year after his arrival in this
country from EuropC. Ile was
transferred from the New York
office to head the studio music de-
partment' in Hollywood last year
and has had charge of many im-
portant musical pictures. Under
his new producer contract, Morros
is now conferring on a schedule
for musical productions.
MOVIE IMPRESSARIO
HONORED
Many veterans and newcomers
in the motion picture business,
newspapermen, executives from all
the studios and others gathered
at Unicersal Studios in Universal
City, Calif. lest Monday at a testi-
monial luncheon staged in celebra-
tion of Carl Laemmle's 30th an-
niversary as a motion picture im-
pressario. A huge circular ball-
room set on a sound stage was con-
verted into impromptu banquet
room at which 200 men and women
who have contributed considerably
to the entertainment of the world
gathered to honor the illustrious
little gentleman whose rise from a
Chicago five-cent-movie theater
owner in 1906 to the head of a
world-wide organization in 1936
has meant indescribable and un-
limited opportunity, successs and
happiness to many thousands.
"What do you consider your
finest personal triumph in thirty
years in motion pictures," we asked
Mr. Laemmle, Hollywood's "Little
Napoleon."
His reply was "Knowledge that
the 9,134 pictures I have produced
have given no much enjoyment and
enlightenment to millions of men,
women and children all over the
world. The happpiness our pic-
tures have given others , has made
me an optimist in the face of many
discouraging obstacles."

EDITOR'S NOTE : The Youth Aliyah is a movement transferring Jewish boys and girls be-
tween the ages of 15 and 17 from Germany to Palestine. In this country the project
is sponsored by Hadassah. In Palestine it is under the supervision of Mine Henrietta
Szold. How are these Nazi victims selected for transfer? How are they prepared
for life in Palestine? This article, written by the daughter-in-law of Prof. Otto
Warburg, answers questions which are Uppermost in the minds of American Jews. Mrs.
Warburg, now in this country, is contributing this article exclusively to Seven Arta
Publications.

(Copyright, 1515, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate)

Events in Germany have produced no much
hardship on the victims of Nazisns it seems hard-
ly necessary to give any more examples of it.
What seems to me the worst outcome of it all
is the hopeless situation of the young Jewish
generation.
At an age when boys and girls all over the
world have the most hopeful outlook on life and
however far ahead refuse to consider anything
unobtainable, the Jewish boys and girls of 15 and
16 in Germany are bereft of any hope for their
future. Most of the secondary and higher schools
are closed to them. Some might, under certain
circumstances, enter the university, but what for?
They are not allowed to take examinations. The
same applies to the technical schools. Many boys
and girls ate eager to learn farpentry, the lock-
smith trade, become shoemakers or tailors. They
cannot learn these trades in Germany. German
artisans are not allowed to have Jewish appren-
tices and there are no Jewish master craftsmen.
A few Gentile carpenters were brave enough to
accept Jewish boys for training, even last year.
After a few weeks they were forced to send
their Jewish apprentices away and were pun-
lobed by boycott and smashed windows. It is
not even possible for the young people to learn
agriculture as a preparation for emigration. Not
one German peasant dares to have a Jewish
pupil in his house. The girls may go into Jewish
households, and poor parents have to accept the
servant-career for their daughters as offering
the only opportunity.
When the pupils of an upper class of a
•Jewish co-educational school in Berlin were
asked, before the end of the semester, what they
"intended to do," it was distressing to notice
the hopeless glance of the young eyes, when,
almost unanimously the answer was "I don't
know." One third of them did know and their
spirit was different. "I have registered with the
Youth Aliyah; I expect to be able to go to Pales-
tine shortly." "I was promised a certificate with
the next Youth Aliyah group." These were their
answers.
The Youth Aliyah provides an organized
youth immigration to Palestine, the country of
Jewish hope and future where youth is the most
wanted element for the upbuilding of the na-
tional home. There these boys and girls receive
a two-year course of training in practical occu-
:Wiens, mostly on the land. The work of the
Youth Aliyah is performed through two chan-
nels. The center for emigration is in Berlin, for
immigration in Jerusalem. In Berlin three or-
ganizations have formed themselves into the
"Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Kinder and Jugenda-
liyah" in the early summer 1933. They consist of
"Ben Shemen," a children's farm in Palestine,
originally founded for pogrom orphans from
Eastern Europe and well established in Palestine
since 1922; the "Ilavarah," a Berlin orphanage
that has been in existence for 12 years and has
now opened a new branch near Ilaifa, and the
"Jugendhilfe," representing almost the whole
Jewish youth movement in Germany, including
the religious Zionist circles.

Important Task of Selection

These organizations are responsible for se-
lecting the candidates to be sent to Palestine,
trying to avoid undue hardships in choosing hun-
dreds only from among the thousands who apply
for emigration certificates. They do not permit
themselves to be carried away by appalling home
conditions, though these are taken into consider-
ation considerably, but decide on the basis of the
mental and physical fitness of the young candi-
dates.

To prove his fitness for a hard life of labor
in Palestine, each candidate must first undergo
a medical examination. If he is found to be in
good physical condition, he enters a preliminary
training camp where, he lives for four to six
weeks with a group of boys and girls, all des-
tined for the same place. During this period
the children lead exactly the sort of life that
they will lead in Palestine during their two
years of training. They work four hours a day
and study another four hours. One or two lead-
era who are assigned to go with the group to
Palestine have the special task of discerning
whether any candidate is emotionally or physi-
cally unsuitable for the new life before him.
Some applicants do not fit into the particular
group they are placed with, but there are also
individuals who cannot bear to live in groups at
all, and some children are found to be too deli-
cate Tfohrismvaenry
manual
wpoorrkthnt task of selection has
important
naturally to be carried out in Germany. In ad-
dition, the propaganda work for this movement
is centralized in Berlin. From there the commit-
tees in various countries, European and others,

receive information regularly and are visited by
members of the German committee to be assisted
in their campaigns. A sum of 72 pounds ($360)
covers the expenses for one child for mainte-
nance and education during the two-year course
of training. Traveling expenses are mostly met
by parents or Jewish relief organizations. A con-
siderable amount is collected inside Germany of
which 1,000 pounds (about $6,000) may be
transferred per month,

In Palestine a Youth Aliyah department of

the Jewish Agency was opened in the autumn of

1933 as a branch of the Central Bureau for the
Settlement of German Jews. Miss Henrietta
Szold consented to act as head of this office and
it is mainly due to the high esteem in which she
is held by the Jewish population of Palestine
that this work has met with such wonderful re-
sults. Up to now the High Commissioner has
about 1,000 Youth Certificates over and above
the general - quota. They were given for boys
and girls from 15 to 17 years of age. It is one
• of the very responsible tasks of the Palestine
department of the Youth Aliyah to negotiate
with the government on behalf of the young
immigrants and to 'apply for every individual
case. The Government demands a guarantee from
the Jewish Agency for any child coming in with
a Youth Aliyah certificate until he reaches the
age of 18 years. This guarantee amounts to 72
pounds a head annually, as demanded by the
Government. The Jewish Agency can only af-
ford to give this guarantee to the Government
if a counter-guarantee is given by the Youth
Aliyah organization, but, owing to money re-
strictions in various countries and other difficul-
ties, a sum covering the upkeep for one whole
year must be deposited in Palestine prior to the
arrival of each youth. Besides the financial
guarantee, • health certificate must be put before
the Government on application of the immigra-
tion permit.

Pedagogical and Medical Supervision

In addition to those who arrive on special
Youth Certificates, children come in with par-
ents or by certificates by the Ben Shemen Chil-
dren's Village, which is recognized by the Gov-
ernment as an educational and agricultural in-
stitution and which is in a position to obtain cer-
tificates directly, thus bringing the total number
of the young immigrants to about 1,400 who will
be in Palestine at the end of March.

It may be guessed from what was said about
the responsibility towards the Government that
every single case must be kept under permanent
control. This pedagogical and medical supervis-
ion is carried out by travelling social welfare
workers under the direction of Miss Szold and
with the assistance of the Kupath Cholim, the
workers' sick benefit association. A record of
every member of the Youth Aliyah department
in Palestine. It is necessary to decide the suit-
ability of a settlement, especially as far as sani-
tary conditions are concerned, which must often
be improved before a Youth Aliyah group may
be allowed to enter it. The preparations for
the arrival of the groups are also supervised by
Miss Szold and her assistants.

A movement of such gigantic measure and
without any parallel in the history of the Jewish
people must necessarily involve manysided labor,
but at the same time those who work in the
movement experience a sense of satisfaction and
an unmatched joy in their tasks. You can visit
20 rural settlements in Palestine where you will
find healthy and happy looking boys and girls at
work in the fields with the tractor, in the vine-
yard and in the garden, in the workshop and in
the kitchen. You will meet girls mending and
sewing, others looking after poultry and bees and
some at the nurseries. Meet the workers of a
Kevusah (communal settlement), hear them talk-
ing about their young companions and you will
be overjoyed, as I was, more than once, when I
was told that one or another branch of work
could not do without them. In generiil, the
young people get accustomed to the manual work
very rapidly, love it and devote themselves to it
with industry and zeal. They carry themselves
with pride, enjoying the glory of labor. It is
pathetic to realize the touching joy those children
who had been living some tirne‘in France where
they were chased and persecuted as soon as they
attempted to do some work. It is wonderful to
listen to their lessons, Hebrew language, Jewish
history and tradition, knowledge of Palestine,
general history and natural science.
Youth Aliyah gives the Jewish world the
opportunity to rescue • whole generation of fine
youths, not only saving them the horrors of per-
secution, unemployment or child labor but also
giving them the chance to develop their minds
before they have to earn their living.

In the present age of the rule of blind
bigotry, is a source of relief to read such
views of an important statesman in a land
where the Jews are facing the dangers of
anti-Semitism. We may differ with him on
certain points, but when he urges com-
plete freedom for Jews in all walks of life,
we must recognize that his sentiments are
those of a honest political figure.
Particularly noteworthy is a concluding
paragraph in Dr. Grinias' statement in
which he says: "A well-known English
philosopher said that every country has
the kind of Jews it deserved. It is very
clear that Lithuania, too, will have as good
Jewish citizens as it deserves by its at-
titude towards them."
Here is an old truth, which happens to
be a double-edged sword. In many in-
stances the various states can either be-
friend us or win the enmity of the Jewish

Those in the know insist that
Stephen S. Wise will leave the

vote himself exclusively to the
magazine Opinion, which he will
transform into a weekly publica-

friends feel that a weekly Opinion
under the direct editorship of the
fighting rabbi would wield more
influence than any other instru-
ment of Dr. Wise.

gentlemen are itching to start a
big action on the Biro Bidjan
scheme, something on the same
scale as was done about 10 years
ago for the Jewish settlements in
Crimea and Ukraine . . . They're
not doing it because a few pro-
fessional investigators of the sta-
tus of anti-Semitism in this coun-
try claim that any deal with the
Soviet Union will strengthen the
hand of those who try to brand-

D. L. Sperling of the Cleveland
Jewish Independent ... The low-
down on the Tuteur story, dear
readers and dear Walter, is that
Julius Tuteur in 1931 contributed
500 marks toward a fund for the
erection of a swimming pool in his
native town of Winnweiler It
is true that to his great horror
Tuteur did discover that this swim-
ming pool, just like all other pools
in Germany, doesn't admit Jews
. . But you'll admit that there
is a slight difference between
$100,000 and 500 marks, and the
latter in the pre-Hitler days . .
Incidentally, Mr. Tuteur is related
through marriage to nape other
than Maurice Samuel, the author.
NEW YORK DISPATCH
In attacking James Marshall,
member of the Board of Education
and son of the late Louis Marshall,
for defeating a resolution to pro-
vide bus service to handicapped
children in the parochial and other
non-public schools, the Brooklyn
Tablet, official organ of the Catho-
lic paper called young Marshall
the "son of the famous Jew,
Charles Marshall, who detested
proscription and discrimination"
What makes this error funny
is the fact that Charles Marshall
is the name of a prominent Prot-
estant who bitterly attacked Al-
fred E. Smith when he ran for
President in 1928.
The striking elevator operators

the headlines to James J. Bam-
brick, union leader, but the real
boss of the strike is 23-year old
Sally Deutsch, Bambrick's secre-
tary.
Mrs. Rose Hirschberg, an un-
known waitress, has achieved per-
manent fame through Isabel Bish-
op's painting, "Two Girls," which

tan Museum of Art . . . Mrs.
Hirschberg is one of the "two
girls."
VIA SHORT WAVE

erest painters, just arrived from
