or must he start the long, uphill struggle trying to
carve out a future for himself in competition with
others better equipped? By investing just a few
dollars a year now you can provide him with the
capital he will likely require for a successful stmt.
Without this capital he may be forced to struggle
through life at a job for which he has no liking. ,

to pay his way through college, or to launch him

patriotic ones, who put the interests of
France before everything else and "traitors like
that female camel of a Blum who are sold to
Germany." What the other gentlemen-discover-
ers of a world conspiracy by the Jews to gain
control of the universe are saying now that a
Jew is prime minister of France, I leave to your
imagination. Tons of propaganda-material are
being poured out every week. The anti-Semites
have a new argument or rather they see their
warnings coming true about the Elders of Zion
wanting to destroy France after having failed
with Germany.
However, anti-Semitism is not deeply rooted
in France, less so than in Germany where, it has
Gi be admitted, it is not rooted in the masses
either. No not even now, after the years of
systematic hetzing. Leon Blum will not be
judged by the French people on his Jewishness,
but on his ability to create conditions for a peace-
ful transition from the capitalist to a Socialist
one, his avowed intention. Anti-Semitism is but
one of the weapons the reaction is going to use
in resisting the advent of the new order. Other,
perhaps more potent weapons will be: financial
panics, in which the manipulators will not be
non-Jews exclusively; political assassinations;
foreign scares and such-like tactics. But be-
hind Leon Blum stand the millions of the United
Front, and those millions are in a revolutionary
mood, as the recent wave of strikes shows. Com-
mittees of vigilance and action are being set up
in every community in France and a Workers'
Militia is in the course of formation. The work-
ing-class of France is determined to bar the
road to Fascism and its twin-sister anti-Semitism.
There are sonic lessons to be drawn from events
in France and the first lesson seems to me this:
that you cannot talk anti-Semitism out of exist-
ence by good neighbor conferences or interde-
nominational :allies and that sort of thing, but
that you must recognize that capitalism breeds
anti-Semitism as it breeds war and the fear of
war, because it cannot live without them.

And since this Congress has al-

is no way to retrace the steps, how
much more statssmanlike Amer-
ican Jewish opinion would have
been to have sought to achieve a
maximum result by co-operation?
Instead, time good minds will de-

The Congress Must Not Fail
But the Congress will succeed
in spite of this. It cannot fail, even
if it leads us but a hundred steps
out of the present wilderness and
despair. It will no doubt develop
schisms. But it is bound to develop
a better technique of co-operation
for greater unity in improving the
lot of our people where such im-
provement is a matter of life and
death.

Judaism a Reality to Him
Ile is a quiet man, Leon Blum, a scholarly
type, not a leader in mass-action. I asked him
once what brought him, the son of a wealthy
Lyon silk manufacturer to Socialism, for Leon
Blum could have selected another road in life.
He is a brilliant lawyer, a fine litterateur, a con-
noisseur of art and a devotee of the theater. "I
became a Socialist very late in life," he replied.
"If I may indicate one specific moment I must
say that revelation came to me one evening as
I walked through the Faubourg St. Martin (the
worst slum-district in Paris). Suddenly I was
seized with the horror of social injustice and the
staggering humiliation of poverty. Why is it,
so I asked myself, that these poverty-stricken
and miserable masses do not revolt, why do they
not shake the yoke of degradation from their
shoulders? As I walked along the answer came
to me: poverty and destitution, I realized, had
become part and parcel of their lives. They
looked upon it as something natural, something
inescapable, an act of God, you might almost say.
And then I asked myself whether it was right for
me to join these who were trying to awaken
these masses and point them to a better life in
new' society. I asked myself this because, as
you remember, Spartacus was told that if he
cut the bonds of slavery, he would endanger
life itself. Spartacus tried nevertheless.
I, too,
decided to try. I had to. An inner voice com-
manded me. It was stronger than I."
The still, small 'voice!
M. Leon BluM is extremely sensitive on the
subject of his race. Ile seldom makes a speech
without mentioning the fact that he is a Jew.
Ile does not apologize for it, but he does not
glory in it either. llis opposition to chauvinist
nationalism has kept him at a distance from
militant Zionism, although he is extremely sym-
pathetic to the work of Jewish national regener-
ation in Eretz Israel and even calls himself a
Zionist. "I have never," he said speaking of his
outlook on Judaism. "I have never seen any value
in conforming to the ritualistic aspects of Ju-
daism. The outer, more ostentatious mani-
festations of Jewish life have never appealed
to me and really have no meaning to me. Juda-
ism is not expectation to me, but actual reality.
It should be a Jew's life's content, his motif-
power in every decisive act he performs.
11
Frenchman, Socialist, Jew
"To many Jews," lie` went on, "Judaism
is a vague, messianic dream, which awaits ful-
fillment in some ultimate fullness of time. To
me it is fulfillment all the time . . . a living'
stream, a way of bk. So is Socialism to me:
a way of life, not an inflexible doctrine that
must either be accepted or rejected, but a means
whereby man can demand his rights, all his
rights, an instrument through which the human
personality can deploy to its full status and assert
itself, and especially the human personality of
the proletarian, the underprivileged, the down-
trodden."
"In your life's struggle for the liberation
of the human personality in the proletarian,
have you felt your actions motivated as by your
Jewishness, or?" ... I asked.
"That question," came back M. Blum, "has
often been asked. My answer is both. There
is no doubt that blood plays a role. There is
no doubt that sub-consciously the accumulation
of Jewish experience in my blood is a factor
in driving me onward. But it is also true that
this instinct finds an outlet in the conditions
that are peculiar to French democracy. I might
say that I am a Frenchman and a Socialist be-
cause I am a Jew. Socialism calls for the whole
man, his whole life. To confess Socialism is not
enough, no more than it is to confess Judaism.
It must be lived, every hour of the day. It is a
ceaseless struggle in which a man has time to
think much of his antecedents, whether they are
Jewish or otherwise. It requires all his strength
and devotion and energy. Fer once he has felt
the urge to speed mankind on towards its destiny,
towards a real, human society, to realize hu-
manity at last, it becomes a passion with him
to introduce something of truth, some good-
ness, some justice in the lives of his fellows."
Thou shalt love Adonai, thy God, with all
thy heart and with all thy soul, and thy neigh-
bor as thyself!

jured, 54; Jews killed, 28; seri-
ously injured, 65; slightly injur-
ed, 84.
The Christian casualties includ-
ed one British constable killed;
three British constables seriously
injured; five British police offi-
cers and one army officer slightly
injured.
The arrests and conviction were
as follows: 1,823 Arabs tried and
1,206 convicted; 418 Jews tried
and 238 convicted; 336 Arabs ac-
quitted; 284 Arabs awaiting trial;
24 Jews acquitted; 76 Jews await-
ing trial.
Collective fines have been im-
posed on 20 Arab villages and
81 Arab leaders have been de-
tained in concentration camps;
122 Arab leaders are under police
supervision. Two Jewish and two
Armenian active Communists are
under detention, and 60 Jewish
Communists are under police su-
pervision.
The Royal Commission, he em-
phasized, will visit Palestine after
the restoration of order for a
full and searching investigation
of the causes of unrest and the
grievances of Arabs or Jews. It
would bean impartial and author-
itative body, he assured the
House, and he would not submit
the name for service on the corn-
mission of anyone previously con-
nected with : Palestine or having
known, preconceived views. Dis-
like of the projected Royal Com-
mission was voiced by Herbert
Morrison, leader of the London
County Council and labor leader,
who said that "the Government
knows the position and ought not
to take refuge in a Royal Com-
mission."
Feeling Artificial
The racial feeling has been ar-
tificially stimulated in Palestine,
he charged, the promises of the
Allied Powers during the war per-
haps were in conflict but the
agreement between Feisal and
Dr. Weizmann is not disputed.
The strike Was primarily for po-
but have we not some right to ask,
nay, insist that our rights as hu-
man beings be respected in times
of peace as well? Will these na-
tions not be likely to respond more
eagerly if they think that there is
some chance to publicize their
cruelties by • solidarity of purpose
and of plan?
The Congress most not fail.
America's delegation will bring to
its representatives the encourage-
ment of our moral participation in
their problems. They will bring to
us some of the world wisdom and
solidarity that we, too, can use to
great advantage. And if our voice
turns out to be but • voice in the
wilderness, because those who
should have participated stood by
and did not heed the cry of our
brothers, theirs will be the regret
afterwards whatever they plead in
justification for their coldness.

ideals of tolerance and freedom."
Must Maintain
Social Security
Mr. Lowenthal stressed the
great importance of the fight to
maintain social and economic jus-
tice and security for the majority
of the American people in every
possible way. He said that the
Jews of America can protect them-
selves against anti-Semitism by
analyzing the mistakes made by
the German Jews.
"The Hitler brand of anti-Semi-
tism," he said, "is inconceivable
in America, but if our economic
depression continues or a worse
ensus, there"is enough latent feel-
ing here to produce an American
brand which would be hard enough
for its victims."
The Jews in America, as every-
where else, must base their lives
on the accumulated wisdom of
Judaism, said Dr. Gutkind, who
contended that Jews are not pre-
pared for the future. "The way
out," he declared, "does not lie in
mere organization or politics. Of
course, organization and political
influence are useful, but they can
be easily torn away. There is only
one way: The Jewish people must
base their lives on wisdom, upon
the eternal wisdom of Judaism.
There can be no survival of the
Jewish people without Judaism.
Jews are weak only because they
lack the knowledge of their Jswish
teachings. This tradition forms
the character of the Jewish people
and is a precious contribution to
the general civilization of man-
kind.'"

And yet, despite the uniquely

of nervous hysteria. There was
no need for analysis. here were
400,000' people facing bombs and
bullets and destruction with the

Therefore there itlittle need
to describe their behavior. No
doubt the English and French
populations behaved in the same
way during the war. Despite the
Arab strike, the closing of the
Jaffa Port, and the dangerous
conditions of the highways, the
Jews tried to carry on their rou-
tine work as usual. They waited
anxiously for the broadcast of
the official communiques. Little
knots gathered on the streets in
front of those shops which had
radios.
First there was curfew in Tel
Aviv. Then there v-as curfew in
Jerusalem. The Jews remained
quietly indoors after seven o'clock
in a most unhysterical manner.
More often than not, in recent
weeks, the quiet Jerusalem nights
have been punctuated with shots.
A few nights ago a bomb fell near
• house in the Jewish quarter of
Rahavia, tearing a hole in the
ground. There was no hysteria.
It has not been easy for the
young bloods to turn the other
cheek while their barley fields
were being burned, their forests
razed and their college students
stoned to death. But orders had,
come from high authority that
there was to be no retaliation.
