A Travesty on Justice

and THE LEGAL CHRONICLE

Insult has been added to injury in the
verdict against the Jews of Przytyk, Po-
land.
Jewish life is evidently worthless in Po-
land. The verdict handed down in the
trial which resulted from the massacre in
that city last March gives a new interpre-
tation to justice: it tells Jews that they
dare not defend themselves, and punishes
them severely for resorting to the right
of self-defense; and at the same time it
glorifies murder by releasing the culprits
who started the pogrom.
What a travesty on justice! Such is
the lot of our people in Poland! And in
spite of it, our voice against such outrages
is so weak that it cannot be heard. Yet,
the powers that be in Jewish ranks would
try to stem a tide in favor of world or-
ganization that would at least make an
effort to let offending governments know
that there is an united people ready to
back up the demands for justice by op-
pressed Jews in Poland and elsewhere.
Jews must unite for joint action against
the atrocities perpetrated against at least
half of our number throughout the world.
Through such . organization — and the
World Jewish Congress should be the in-
strumentality for self-defensive action—
there is at least the possibility that world
opinion will be aroused against pogroms
and will force the guilty governments to
put a stop to persecutions.

Communists in Palestine

Texts of the original manifestos issued
by Jewish Communists in Palestine have
reached us this week and provide certain
proof that all the condemnations of their
actions were not only justified, but were
in a sense mild.
Jewish Communists in Palestine not
only joined hands with the Arabs in de-
mands for the closing of the doors to Pal-
estine for the Jews, but they even went
so far as to charge Jews with committing
crimes against the Arabs. These mani-
festos would lead their readers to believe
that the murders and arson of the past
three months were acts of noblemen, but
that the Jews are criminals and instigators
of disorders and horrible murders.
It is unfortunate that a chapter in Jew-
ish history which is marked by great con-
tributions in the field of reconstruction
should be marred by Jews themselves who
are traitors not only to their own people
but to every human symptom. Jews have
raised the standards of the Palestinian
Arabs to almost unbelievable heights.
They have taught the Arabs human ideas
and ideals. Arabs have been enriched by
Jewish enterprises, and Arab workers re-
ceive five and six times the wages they
earned prior to 1920. But the Commu-
nists, for the sake of gaining capital for
themselves and their party, are prepared
to destroy those who build and to lend
comfort to enemies of the Jewish people
who are potential fascists.
The work of the Jewish Communists in
Palestine is the blackest mark on our rec-
ord. History will name these traitors
among the worst enemies whom Jewry en-
countered on the road to self-liberation.

Another Fortune Survey

It is interesting to learn from Fortune
Magazine that 79.2 per cent of Baptists
participating in a survey support Roose-
velt; that 75.1 per cent of the Jews, cov-
ered by this survey, are for the President's
re-election, with other religious denomina-
tions following in these proportions: Cath-
olics, 66 per cent; Methodists, 60.7 per
cent. It is equally as interesting to know
that opposing Roosevelt are: Congrega-
tionalists, 62.5 per cent; Episcopalians,
58.4 per cent; Christian Scientists, 52.5;
Presbyterians, 52.3 per cent.
But after reading these figures we were
left with a bad feeling. The coming elec-
tion is an American campaign, to be
fought out on American lines, based -on
principles affecting the economic life of
the American people which is composed
of Jews, Catholics, Protestants; blacks
and whites. If there are dividing lines on
the basis of race or religion, they should
be condemned rather than surveyed and
fostered. The mere publishing of com-
parative figures tends to inject an unde-
sirable religious note in American poli-
tics. It is a practice that ought to be
avoided and it is disappointing to see a
magazine of the standing of Fortune re-
sorting to it.

Inadequacy of Jewish Relief

A whole family of German-Jewish refu-
gees—Karl Bacharach, his wife, a son and
a daughter—committed suicide in the city
of Valens in France.
Already accustomed to such reports,
especially in view of the wave of suicides
in Poland, Jews must nevertheless review
anew the reasons for such tragedies in
order to be able to arrive at some plan of
action which should lead to a possible
solution of the problem causing suicides
and despair.
Had this suicide taken place in Ger-
many, there would have been less reason
for concern. The German situation itself
is sufficient cause to drive Jews to suicide,
and the despair which marks conditions
under the Nazis make such acts under-
standable. But when refugees, who man-
aged to escape from the Nazi danger, re-
sort to suicide, it is an indication that we
have failed in the major effort to aid most
unfortunate Jews: in the field of relief.
The entire relief-giving structure is chal-
lenged when we realize that the position
of our refugees is so hopeless; that we
give go little for Polish-Jewish relief;
that we practically ignore the tragedy of
Oriental Jewry.
It is apparent that Jewish relief ef-
forts are inadequate. The complete scheme
of seeking aid for millions of oppressed
Jews will have to be revamped and re-
organized. Perhaps our friends on the
extreme left are right when they say that
e must get to the root of the troubles;
t‘at we must fight primarily on the field
of economies and with political weaons.

Israel's Crown of Thorns

Israel continues to wear the crown of
thorns and of martyrdom!
In 1922, Israel Zangwill appended an
epilogue to his "Voice of Jerusalem" on
the subject "The Majesty of Armenia,"
and for a brief few moments of respite
gav6 the place of supreme martyrdom to
Armenia. He wrote:

"I saw all our women and my mother torn
to pieces by the monsters who disputed for
possession of them," says the old Princess
in "Candide," and I was left for dead
amid a heap of corpses. For three hun-
dred leagues around similar scenes were
going on — without any omission in the
five prayers a day prescribed by Mahomet."
It is impossible in reading the evidence as to
the treatment of the Armenians in the Otto-
man Empire not to be reminded of this and
other episodes by which Voltaire strove to
disconcert the optimism of his Pangloss--
episodes which, however, seemed to transcend
the license of even satirical invention and
to have no warrant in the actual facts of
mediaeval history. Alas, we now know that
Voltaire's imagination fell below, not ex-
ceeded. the diabolism of human nature at
those moments when, maddened by warlust-
aggravated let us charitably adroit by war-
panic—it returns to that prehistoric animal
nature through which the soul has slowly
struggled.
From more than one area of the war-zone,
from Belgium, from Galacia, from Turkish
Armenia, the same story has reached us; the
same dread saga of the wanderings of whole
populations, under the spur of massacre, rape,
hunger. Little children fall like flies by the
wayside, and new children are born on the
march. Mothers go mad. Girls throw them-
selves into the rivers. Men are killed and
burled like dogs. Torture becomes a common-
place. There is even cannibalism.
But Belgium had almost all the world for
her friends, and the faith in restoration went
before her exiles like a pillar of cloud by
day and a pillar of fire by night. Even the
Jews of the Pale—torn and tossed between
the alternate victors—found a helping hand,
and begin to behold some faint gleam of Zion
upon the political horizon. On Ararat alone
no Ark can rest. For Armenia alone there
is the cry without answer: "Watchman, what
of the night?"
For Armenia alone-there is no "Mandatory"
—she cannot find protection even in the lion's
den or the eagle's nest. There is neither oil
nor gold aught worth the cost of defending
her. The nations, eager to mother more oleag-
inous or aureate territories, so eager that they
will be at one another's throats rather than
forgo their loving labor, here vie with one
another only in their solicitiousness to offer
the task to America.
SIster-nations—I have been accustomed to
think—the Armenians and the Jews. Both
hail from sister-lands of the cradle of civiliza-
tion, both come trailing clouds of glory from
the purpureal days of Persia and Babylon,
both have borne the shock of the ancient and
mediaeval empires and of the militant migra-
tions of their races, and both hold to their
original faith; for if the one was the first
preacher of Jehovah, the other was the first
nation to profess Jesus. And slaters, too, in
sorrow, I thought: exiled, scattered, persecut-
ed, massacred.
Sisters in sooth, yet not equal in suffering.
Hitherto, through the long centuries, the
crown of martyrdom has been pre-eminently
Israel's. And as, day by day during this war
of ours, there came to me by dark letters or
whisper the tale of her woes in the central
war-zone, I said to myself: "Surely the cup
is full: surely no people on earth has such
■ measure of gall and vinegar to drain."
But I was mistaken. One people is suffering
more. That people, whose ancient realm held
the legendary Eden, has now for abiding place
the pit of Hell. I bow before this higher ma-
jesty of !sorrow. I take the crown of thorns
from Israel's head and I place it upon
Armenia's.

It must have been this emphatic ex-
pression of sympathy that befriended Ar-
menians and Jews and caused a Wilmette.
Ill., Armenian merchants—M. K. Mest-
pian—to send a voluntary contribution to
Stephen S. Wise, national chairman of the
American Palestine Appeal, and to state
that "the Armenians are the only people
who coin understand your woe."
It is good to know that expressions of
good will are not limited to the moments
of sufferings but are remembered long af-
ter the sorrows have been healed. What
makes the world's tragedy supreme is that
sufferings inevitably recur and that op-
pressions continue to plague weaker peo-
ples.
If it is true that Armenia once suffered
more than even Israel, it is an undisputed
fact that the •crown of thorns once more
rests on Israel's sorrowing head. Armenia
suffered from the Turks, but Israel suffers
from dozens of unspeakable tyrants. It is
our supreme tragedy that we are subjected
to the horrors of martyrdom with only the
remotest hopes of relief and for sympathy
from our neighbors who ought to be moved
by our plight but are not.
Will Israel ever learn that just as it is
our lot 'to wear the thorny cap of sorrow
so it is also our foredoomed lot that only
through self-help will come salvation?

EDITOR'S

NOTE: Because of certain manifest o. issued b y the Communists of Palestine in
connection with the present Arab aggression against Jews, ■ tense relationship exists

between the Zionists and the Soviets. The author of this article, well known for his
frank and fearless comments, discusses th e possibilities of • rapproachment with Rus-
sian Jewry,

11136.13..ven

The spectacle of a major European state,
whose territory was once the hotbed of a par-
ticularly virulent form of anti-Semitism and the
scene of violent pogroms, according its Jewish
citizens a full measure of equality is so extra-
ordinary a phenomenon in our time, when po-
grom and "Judenhetze" are elsewhere elevated
to a doctrine of state, that it fills all men of
good will wi'th new hope and a new vision. In the
Soviet Union anti-Semitism has not only been
proscribed by law—that in itself would be noth-
ing new, other states have done so before—but
in that vast area, where Socialism is being built
on the basis of a classless society, anti-Semitism
has been deprived of its breeding-ground: the
loathesome germ of your Jewish sorrow and our
Christian dishonor no longer finds culture which
is indispensable to its existence. That is the
novelty which the world has not seen anywhere
else hitherto.
Under the new dispensation in Russia, which
is gradually liberalizing itself as the economic
situation becomes easier, the Jew has security of
life and limb, which is the first essential prere-
quisite of a cultural, social and national unfold-
ment. This security was not granted him with
the condescending gesture of a "Herrenvolk"
bestowing a gratuity upon a lesser breed or in-
ferior class. It came to him naturally, without
fuss, as a self-evident, elementary right. No
fight was necessary to obtain this equality, no
long and ardent campaign of persuasion, no ap-
peal to the humanitarian or good-Samaritan sen-
timents of the leaders of the new state. The
Socialist order, when it came into existence,
automatically liberated the Jew from the stigma
of inferiority. Jewish freedom is an essential,
undebated condition of Socialism.

Soviet Discriminates Against Zionism

No profession is barred to the Jew in the
U. S. S. R., no pale encloses him, nobody thinks
cf hanging the yellow badge of humiliation aryl
dishonor around his neck. He participates freely,
as an equal, in every phase of social, political
and cultural endeavor. He is not asked to give
up his Jewishness, to confer mto a non-Jewish
norm or ideals. He retains his language. His
"Eigenart" is expressed in a flourishing Yiddish
literature and in a theater which has reached
such a state of artistic perfection that it evokes
the admiration of every one who visits Russia.
He may live a completely Jewish life, strictly
Orthodox if he likes, in purely Jewish communes,
or move out to Biro-Bidjan where a territory has
been set aside for the edification of a Jewish
Socialist republic. He is not driven out there,
he is not "lured" out there with false promises
or any promisee at all. He is free to go—the
means are provided for hie trip If he decides
to go—but he is also free to stay where he is.
But one thing the Jew cannot be in the
Soviet Union: he cannot be a Zionist, not even
a Socialist-Zionist. Ile may not engage in mak-
ing propaganda for the Jewish national home in
Palestine. Ile may not cultivate the Hebrew
language. Galuth-nationalism is forbidden ground.
The state does not tolerate any activity in that
direction. And aince the state operates through
and by a dictatorship, nothing, not even an
underground nucleus of Zionist activity, remains
in the length and breadth of the U. S. S. R. I
do not know how many Jews of the three or
four millions in Russia smart or sorrow under
these restrictions, or whether anything remains
of the very puissant early Zionist currents in
Russian Jewry. No doubt something remains,
as something remains of the old feudal traditions
of Czarism. But all this is hidden, silent, in-
articulate.
It is but natural that the ban imposed upon
Zionism in the U. S. S. R. should have produced
bitter resentment in Zionist circles elsewhere.
Nevertheless the hostile tone employed by cer-
tain Zionist publicists—such as "B. G. R." of
The New Palestine, and Dr. Ludwig Lewisohn-
not specifically against the anti-Zionist policy of
the U. S. S. R. but against everything the U. S.
S. R. undertakes, makes one wonder whether
their opposition to the Soviet anti-Zionist policy
Is not • secondary consideration, a peg on which
to hang their larger hatred. Dr. Lewisohn has
not yet accused the U S. S. R. of anti-Semitism,
but he does the next best thing: he lumps the
U. S. S. R. and Germany together in his denun-
ciations of the crushing, squashing Leviathan-
state.

You hear a lot of talk about
Jews controlling the movie indus-
try and being responsible for the
type of pictures foisted upon the
public, but few people seem to
know or care that Jewish produc-
ers are running off with nearly
all the honors and glories for the
most outstanding films produced
in Hollywood.
David 0, Selznick, youthful
president of Selznick International
Pictures, with which Pioneer Pic-
tures recently was merged, is one
figure whole brilliant achievements
in the art of film-making are so
great that we can hardly keep up
with them.
Only a few columns back we
chronicled the fact that he had
won world honors for making ex-
ceptional. pictures: Now comes
word that the "Comite Interna-
tional pour la Diffusion Artistique
et Litteraire par le Cinemato-
graphe," which means the League
of Nations Committee on Motion
Pictures to you, has awarded its
1936 gold medal to a Selznick pic-
ture. "Little Lord Fauntleroy." A
cable from the 62 members of the
League advised him that showings
of the film, under League of Na-
tions sponsorship, are scheduled
for Geneva, Paris and other Euro-
pean capitals, and presentation of
the award will take place at a
special ceremony now being ar-
ranged.

and write as if the Nazi torture camps for Jews
were located around Minsk, Kalinindorf and
Tichonkaya, and who on the model of Al Smith
champion a social order that breeds anti-Semit-
ism as naturally as rain sends up toadstools in
the forest—is motivated by their sole concern
for the spiritual condition of the Jew in the
U. S. S. R., deprived of the revivifying influ-
ence of the new Eretz Israel. It is possible—
but doubt is also permitted.
The U. S. S. R. is primarily opposed to
Zionism because Palestine figures as a keystone
in the arch of a potential anti-Soviet front.
Jewish endeavor in Eretz Israel is, alas, inextric-
ably interwoven with British imperial interests.
All Zionists know this, and the majority of them
are not happy at all to think of the building
of the Jewish national home proceeding under the
aegis of an imperialism which is the most im-
placably egotistic of the lot, which always treated
questions of justice, humanity, freedom, war and
peace from the point of view of a financial
transaction and which in the particular region
of the Jewish home armed the Arabic tribes in
the name of their national independence and
then, sitithin sight of their goal, pitilessly aban-
doned them. It would be difficult to cite in for-
eign relations one single act of devotion, of
spontaneous enthusiasm or disinterest on the
part of that imperialism. What the man known
as "Bloddy Balfour" in Egyptian and Irish his-
tory did for the Jewish people in Eretz brat]
has been the systematic object of sabotage and
niggardliness on the part of the Colonial Office
ever afterwards. Since massacres failed to halt
the building of the national home, a legislative
council was proposed, and when that failed new
massacres began. But Wauchope, like another
Pontius Pilate, will wash his hands.

The worry of real Zionists after the present
riots will subside will be how to get rid of those
British bayonets, how to build Eretz Israel with-
out that silent partner with the gory record
brooding over the work like a titanic evel djinn.
The U. S. S. R., too, has had ample reason to
be on the alert against the transformation of
Irak and Palestine into a jumping-off place for
attack in the direction of the Baku oil fields.
Dr. Judah L. Magnes clearly saw the drift of
things in Palestine when he advocated the neu-
tralization of the Holy 1.1md in an eventual
imperialistic struggle for markets. And the ans-
wer he got from London, where noble Jewish
lords vied with generals and with Col. Josiah
Wedgwood in protesting the Yiehuv's loyalty to
Britain, affirming its eagerness to march to the
defense of the Empire, showed conclusively which
way the wind is blowing in the land of pipe-line
and Dead Sea asbestos.

Basis for Rapproachment

Now that the military and industrial power
of the U. S. S. R. has grown to such staggering
proportions that it is considered the greatest
single guarantee of peace in the world, and now
that the U. S. S. R. does everything in its power
to save humanity from the gruesome tragedy of
war and fascism that is menacing us all, the
time has come- to take a statesmanlike step at
Moscow by ushering in negotiations looking to
an attenuation of Moscow's anti-Zionist policy.
Moscow will never, of course, become an
active supporter of a scheme for the national
regeneration of the Jewish people on the capi-
talist basis. Yet Moscow is now in the mood to
listen. What objections can it really formulate
against the Hebrew language? Or against a
reactivation of Jewish folk-values, or the es-
tablishment of contact between the Jewish
masses in the U. S. S. R. and that phase of Jew-
ish national endeavor which stands under the
direction of the Histadruth in Eretz Israel?
The moment has arrived to seek that con-
tact. Nothing should be left undone to re-
establish the link with Russian Israel, which has
been temporarily broken. Eretz Israel and Rus-
sian Jewry both stand to benefit by the renewal
of the bond. I know that the leaders of the His-
tadruth have no greater desire than to re-estab-
lish the old connections with their old comrades
in Russia.

The basis for a rapproachment has been
laid. The channels for an exchange of views
have lately been opened. Easier economic con-
ditions, a lessening of fear are changing Rus-
sia's mood. To the Histadruth falls the great
task of taking the first step to reunite the Jewish
proletariat, which alone has the vision and crea-
tive strength to redeem Israel and the land of
Israel.

B y HENRY SMITH LEIPER

Probably nobody needs to be told
that we are now in an era of anti-
Semitism almost worldwide. Not so
many recognize the fart that this
is the third great wave since the
destruction of Jerusalem, the first
having occurred in the 11th Cen-
tury and the second in the 15th.
Since these three ages possess cer-
tain common features, Rabbi Lee
J. Levinger begins by telling the
story from the Biblical period
down to the triumph of Adolph
Hitler and the abortive presiden-
tial boom of the American Jew-
baiter, McFadden.

traordinarily full and detailed, yet
marked by literary skill and an ad-
mirable economy of wont Even go,

book. This is not by accident, how.

does not pretend to be impartial.
He writes frankly a.s a Jew. Never.

Causes of Persecution

The second half of the book is
devoted to an analysis of the
causes of that discrimination and
persecution which have so often
been the lot of the Jews. Begin-
ning with religious causes, the
author traces the problem through
its economic aspects, its political
complications, its racial theoritings
and its environmental angles. This
brings him to the sociological
treatment of anti-Semitism. With
sound good sense, he recognizes
that the modern eoeiological diag-
nosis is the only ultimately reli-
able method for handling curb •
problem. The chief fact concerning
the Jews is that they are, from a
general viewpoint, "an eternal
minority," visible to the eye. con-
spicuous from the point of view of
soc ial organization and interna-
tional by compulsion. if not by
choice. The final chapter deal with
the results of anti-Semitism and
