Dr. Knox, Benjamin Winter,
Hershman, Fram, Sperka
Address Meeting

•

An audience of about 400,
most of them representatives of
approximately 50 organizations
affiliated with the Polish-Jewish
relief drive, on Sunday afternoon
voiced protest • against the out-
rages perpetrated against the Jews
in Poland and inaugurated the re-
lief drive for Detroit's $25,000
quota. The protest meeting was
held at Littman's Theater.
The audience by acclamation
adopted the following protest
resolution after it was read in
English by the chairman of the
meeting, Julius Deutelbaum, and
in Yiddish by Isaac Finkelstein:
The Protest Resolution
"The tragic plight of Polish
Jewry constitutes a commanding
challenge to the conscience of
humanity. The mass starvation
of millions of Jews and the peril
of their extinction resulting from
political, economic, religious and
racial discrimination by the pres-
ent Polish Government violently
conflicts with the humane and de-
cent conceptions of civilized so-
ciety.
"Despite the guarantees of the
new Polish Constitution, Jews are
denied equality with other citi-
zens by administrative laws nulli-
fying these rights, by discrimina-
tion against Jews in Government
controlled enterprises, by the pro-
posed ban on the slaughter of
cattle in accordance with Kosher
Law, and other disqualifications
by Government edicts, amounting
to an effective boycott by the
Government against Polish Jews,
with the scandalous result that
millions of men, women and inno-
cent children are doomed to a
life of the most indescribable pov-
erty and live in constant fear of
their lives.
"We, American citizens, com-
prising different creeds and re-
ligious denominations, in mass
meetings assembled at Detroit,
Mich., do hereby render most em-
phatic protest against this inhu-
man and undeserved treatment of
Polish Jews. In the name of
common humanity, we call upon
the Polish Government to cease
discriminating against its Jews, to
atop boycotting them in connec-
tion with Government business
and jobs, to end their physical in-
security, to re-establish the right
of religious freedom, to restore
to them their constitutional
rights of equality with other citi-
zens, to prevent pogroms, to more
vigorously prosecute and to more
effectively punish the organized
hooligans who inflict periodical
physical violence upon Jews, to
immediately release the 17 Jews
held to trial in Przytyk on trump-
ed-up charges, to avoid the hor-
ror and indignation with which
civilized society views such Nazi
tendencies.
"We further call upon the dem-
ocratic 'forces of Poland to con-
tinue the struggle for a happier
life of all Polish peoples and ex-
tend to them our warm sympathy.
"Be is resolved that a copy of
this declaration be forwarded to
the Secretary of State, at Wash-
ington, D. C. to the Polish Am-
bassador, at Washington, D. C.,
to all Michigan Congressmen, to
the two Michigan Senators, and
to the press."
Urge Contributions
Spokesmen at the protest meet-
ing joined in urging that liberal
contributions be made to the fund
being collected by the American
Committee Appeal for the Relief
of Jews in Poland to relieve some
of the suffering inflicted upon the
3,600,000 Jews of that land.
After an appeal by Joseph Hag-
gai, the sum of '21,200 was sub-
scribed at the protest meeting. An
additional $40e was raised at the
banquet tendered in honor of Ben-
jamin Winter, national president
of the Federation of Polish Jews
in America, who was one of the
guest speakers at the meeting.

Pledges to Faith of
Their Fathers

On Sunday morning, May 31, at

ices at Temple Beth El will be

and American Ideals," arranged by

Leon Fram who will be In charge
of the ter-vices. Because it is be-
lieved that the seating capacity of

confirmants enter the Temple.
A fine musical program has been

"Jewish Nose" Doesn't
Exist, Says Scientist

NEW HAVEN, Connnecticut.
(WNS)—The much - maligned
Jewish nose of the caricaturist
just doesn't exist, Prof. W. M.
Krogman of Western Reserve
University told the annual
meeting of the American As-
sociation of Physical Anthro-
pologists. Asserting that Jews
do not have "Jewish noses"
because this type of nose is an
Armenoid nose," Professor
Krogman also said that the
Jewish type of head originated
long ago through a combina-
tion of the primitive Semitic
head-shape and the Armenoid
nose, brought in by a quite
distinct racial stock. Showing
that since then the type has
remained remarkably stable,
Professor Krogman told the
scientists that it has "changed
less in the last 5,000 years
thar many another race which
claims 'racial purity'!"

Arab Terrorism

A state of revolt rules Pales-
tine as British troops are ordered
to suppress the terrorism which
has thrown the Jews of the coun-
try into a state of uncertainty.
The total number of Jewish
dead this week reached 28, and
about 20 Arabs are known to
have. been killed.
Anthony Eden declared in the
British House of Commons that
the government is on guard
against Italian propaganda which
is said to be responsible for insti-
gation to riots. At the same
time, added proof arrives that
Communists, many of them Jews,
were responsible for the spread of
propaganda against the Jews of
Palestine among the Arabs.

Attempt to Fire Levant Fair

JERUSALEM (W N S—Palcor
Agency)—An attempt to set fire
to the exhibition building of the
Levant Fair, Palestine's great bi-
ennial indsutry and agricultural
exhibition, was made in the all-
Jewish city of Tel Aviv, where the
Fair is located. The Fair author-
ities 'discovered bottles of phos-
phorous near several pavilions in
the Fair and also near the cus-
toms shed of the new Tel Aviv
port, which has aroused the ani-
mosity of the Arab stevedores of
Jaffa, whose ancient shipping
commerce is threatened by the
new Jewish harbor. This is the
first time since the disturbances
started that phorphorus has been
used in an attempted arson case.
The Fair directors explained that
the dangerous chemical was prob-
ably deposited by Arabs who had
disguised themselves when they
entered the Fair grounds.
The first battalion of Seaforth
Highlanders has arrived from
Egypt, reinforcing the 2,000 Brit-
ish soldiers who are now on guard
in Palestine. Detachments were
immediately posted at Nablus,
Jenin and Tulkarem, three Arab
towns where incitement has been
at its highest. A company of
Royal Engineers also arrived to
assist the postal authorities to
maintain telephonic and telegra-
phic communications. The en-
gineers have started working un-
der armed military guard.
Baffled in its attempts to stop
vandalism on the country's com-
munication systems, the govern-
ment is planning to impose harsh
penalties, it was reported as a re-
sult of the cutting of telephonic
lines on two strategic points. The
snapping of the lines between Jer-
usalem and Jaffa near Abu Ghoah
on the main highway cut off com-
munication with Cairo. At the
same time the trunk line between
Jerusalem and the northern dis-
tricts of the country was cut.
The killing of another Arab by
p olice, the wounding of two Jews
b y Arab gangsters and the es-
cape from the shooting of the
same gangsters by a' group of
Jewish leaders headed by Eliezer
Kaplan, treasurer of the Jewish
Agency Executive, was reported
here. The shooting of the Arab
occurred inside of the Old City
after a British police patrol
searched passersby.' When one
group of Arabs refused to halt
on police orders, they were pur-
sued by the constables. One of
the Arabs turned and fired twice
with a revolver. A constable re-
turned the fire with two shots
hitting the man in the stomach.
A Jew and Jewess were wound-
ed in the leg and were transferred
to the hospital after they were hit

Ancient myths die hard but the
hardiest of all is the familiar
canard that the Jew is a coward.
Anti-Semites everywhere have al-
ways charged the Jew with fail-

accusation that the Jew makes a
poor soldier is almost as old as
anti-Semitism itself. The facts
of course are so overwhelmingly
contradictory to this libel that
they hardly bear repetition. Al-
though it is less than 200 years
since the Jew was permitted to

countries during recent years.

The Late General Monash

The late Sir John Monash of
Australik was unquestionably the
greatest Jewish soldier of , our
time. A civil engineer by pro-
fession, he became chief censor
in Australia at the outbreak of
the World War. In 1915. he re-
ceived command of a brigade and
was sent to the Gallipoli front
where he revealed himself to be a
brilliant strategist. The follow.
ing year he was moved to the
French tone where he became
commander-in-chief of the'entire
Australian corps. In the last
great advance of the War, the
push that smashed the Hinden-
burg line, Sir John had a leading
part. Writing of Sir John's mil-
itary genius years later, David
Lloyd George, England's war-
time prime minister, said that the
Jewish general was the man who
should have replaced Field Mar-
shall Haig in 1918. Sir Joint died

A Debate on the Forthcoming Geneva Gathering

NEW YORK (WNS)—A plan
to settle 20,000 German Jews in
Ethiopia is being- negotiated by
Germany and Italy, it was re-
ported in a Berlin dispatch to the
New York Times. ' The proposed
plan would be carried out under
the existing German-Italian agree-
ment regarding the transfer of
Jewish capital from Germany to
Italy. Several months ago Ger-
many arranged with Italy to per-
mit German -Jews who wanted to
go to Italy to take with them a
limited amount of their capital.
This capital was to be paid to
the Jews in Italy In lire provided
an equal sum was deposited in
Germany with the Reichabank.
Few Jews have taken advantage
of this plan because of the dis-
turbed economic conditions in
Italy. The Ethiopian scheme
would be of great benefit to Ger-
many because it would unfreeze
large amounts of Italian lire held
in Germany. Reports- of a plan
to settle German Jews in Ethiopia
were current a year ago when a
representative of Emperor Haile
Selassie discussed the matter with
Jewish leaders in London.

No More Vacillation;

World Congress Dangerous

By DR. ABRAHAM CORALNIK

By DR. A. J. RONGY

In these days of crisis and tin-
rest encircling the world, in these
times of distress and upheaval, it
is the duty of every civilized 'hu-
man being to stop and think i to
mediate individually' 'avid<due
tively, over the state of the pres-
ent hour and to plan for the fut-
ure. If this is the plain duty of
every socially minded man and
woman, it is still more so for the
Jew.

The Jewish people throughout
their long history have seen many
trying times. We have endured
the horrors of persecution. We
have been so many times on the
brink of extinction that we are
unwilling or unable to realize or
to admit that we have reached an
impasse.
With anti-Semitism triumphant
in Germany, Poland, Rumania;
with anti-Semitism rampant in
Western Europe and even oil the
American Continent; with the
gradual passing of the old social
order to which the Jews have
historically adapted themselves—
the present of the Jews has be-
come a tragedy. It is of no avail
to cover our heads, to close our
eyes, not to see the danger. The
storm around us tears off the
veil. We have to face the reali-
ties.

The time of vacillation, of fear
loot the nations of the globe
should single us out, has irretriev-
ably passed. The game of ostrich-
politics fias become too childish
for our very earnest generation.
The problem is world-wide: we
have to try a world-wide solution
or at least an approach.
What Napoleon had proposed to
do—the calling of an all-Jewish
assembly or Sanhedrin—we have
to accomplish now. History waits
long; but it acl.ieves its task nev-
ertheless. We submit now to the
Jewish people, wherever they are,

My dear Dr. Coralnik:
I observed that you have fin-
ally decided to throw your lot—
true, not (Mite violently—with the
"hot-heeds" in Jewish life. You
are also "pot-boiling," though not
at a high, temperature. The
change of heart you have under-
gone, I am sure, must have been
painful and I wouldn't at all be
surprised that it required some
form of an anaesthetic to be able
to undergo such • momentous
mental somersault.
What has happened to your
logical mind? What has hap-
pened to your broad outlook on
things mundane? You, a bril-
liant student of the contemporary
Jewish panorama as well as of
the Jewish historical process, have
allowed yourself to be carried
away by passions and emotions,
almost bordering and touching
the fringes of mysticism. You
should have had the courage to
remain steadfast to the ideas and
opinions, which you have so many
times ably expressed, about the
World Jewish Congress.
I will make a confession—and
please do not consider it mere
flattery: Whenever I was in doubt,
whenever I was uncertain about
some problems, some of the ques-
tions which arose in Jewish life
here and. abroad, I turned to you
for guidance. You always seemed
to have the courage of your con-
victions. You have the happy
faculty of analyzing and dissect-
ing vital problems affecting Jew-
ish life in a sane and sober man-
ner. The derision and contempt,
which on occasions were heaped
on your head by some of the "pro-
fessional Jews," never swerved or
influenced your decisions. Your
path of logic was never delineated

Defy New Premier

WARSAW (WNS)—hopes ex-
pressed by the Jewish press here
that the new premier, Gen. Felic-
yen Skladkowaki, would take im-
mediate steps to put an end to
the wave of anti-Semitic terror
were dashed when the anti-Sem.
ites continued their attacks on the
Jews. In Praga, a Warsaw sub-
urb, a bomb exploded In the Jew-
ish quarter and eeriously dam-
aged many Jewish houses and
shops. In Kraehnik, Lublin re-
gion, two Jews were seriously in-
itired when they were assaulted
of the street. A similar incident
ocurred in Sedlitz.
The expectation that Premier
Skladkowaki would be able to
suppress the anti-Semites was
based on two factors. In the
first place he is a military man
accustomed to ride rough shod
over all opposition. It was be-
lieved that he would make short,
shrift of the Endeks who are sup-
posed to the government. It was
also recalled that when he was
minister of the interior he made
a number of important conces-
sions to Jewish merchants. ' On
this account the anti-Semitic
press attacked him as "a Jew
lover."
Meanwhile the Skladkowaki gov-
ernment is going ahead with
plans for the trial of 188 Nazis
who were arrested on • charge
of plotting to sever Upper Sileria
from Poland and turn it over to
Germany. The trial will open at
Kattowitz on June 2.
Colony to Settle Jews
The Polish press is seriously
discussing the possibility that Po-
land will call on the League of
Nations to furnish her with a
colony for the settlement of a
part of her surplus population and
the emigration of some of her
Jews who are daily being elimin-
ated from Poland's economic life.
This proposal is being linked in
the press with the Arab riots in
Palestine which many here be-
lieve will lead to a curtailment of
Jewish immigration. Jewish lead-
ers, who do not take the' plan
seriously, feel however, that the

"SHAVUOTH"
The feast of Shoroothl -Chap
Sharuna or Feast of Weeks—was
in remote antiquity a harvest fest-
ival end owes its name to the cir-
cumstance that its date was fixed
seven weeks after the barley sacri-
flee of Pessach. But from early
Talmudic times on this probable
origin was overlaid or half forgot.
ten and the Feast of Weeks came
to be the commemoration of the
giving and accepting of the Law
from Sinai—Z'mon mitten tora-
teass--the time of the giving of the
Law.
It will be useful to recall the
exact fined words in which the book
of Shetnoth (Names) or Exodus
this central fact of Jewish experi-
ence is summed up: "Ye have
seem what I did unto the Egypti-
Ins and how I bare you on eagles'
wings and brought you unto my-
wit. Now therefore if ye will obey
my voice indeed and keep my cove-
nant, then ye shall be my own pos-
sesaion from among all peoples:
for all the earth is mine: sad ye

shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests and a holy nation ... And
Moses came and called for the eld-
ers of the people, and set before
them all these words which Yaveh
commanded him. And all the peo-
ple answered together and said:
All that Yaveh hath spoken we
will do."
I have called the contents of this
passage the central fact of Jewish
experience. Now that word experi-
ence may be interpreted in various
ways. It may be interpreted in the
traditional orthodox way: that
there was the literal traffic be-
tween God and Moses and the chil-
dren of Israel and that the Law
was thus given and accepted. And
let me hasten to add that I revere
that point of view profoundly and
that, had I In my own person to
choose between'that belief and the
opinion of those who aver that
nothing happened and that the rec-
ord of scripture is wIthosst signi-
ficance for the life of man, my
place would be, on solidest philoso.
