In fad, it may be said truthfully that the Talmudic crim- inal jurisprudence alone, among codes ancient or medieval, antici- pated • the modern doctrines of Bentham and Beccaria." All these, he cites, "to show that neither Biblical nisi, rabbini- cal law needs any apology at the bar of modern reason, and that we must still go far before we can attain to the Talmudic stand- ard of love and justice."

JEWISH CONGRESS LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN AGAINST DEFAMATION OF JEWS IN U. S. The A MESSAGE TO . FLINT JEWS SUBSCRIBE TO THEPETROITAWISII elitONICq In these days, the like of which Jewry has not had since the Spanish Inquisition, every self-respecting Jew should keep himself and his family, especially the growing generation, informed about our cultural, social and political problems and their proposed solutions. He should know the actual incidents that together make up the picture of the life of the Jew in Germany, where his human rights are denied him, in Russia where he is compelled to maintain his Jewish integrity under serious difficulties, in other countries where the virus of anti-Semitism has spread. He should be fully in- formed of the generosity of other lands in these days of trial and tribulation. The agencies of the community in which he lives should be familiar to him. It is only through this com- plete information that the Jew can assume his responsi- bilities and lend a helping hand. THE CHRONICLE weekly brings these details to the Jewish home. It has its own opinions and has a pol- icy to which editorially it is faithful. It has often re- ceived commendation for its editorials that have been fearlessly written. But then it deals impartially with the events of the day and is a record of Jewish happen- ings the world over. It recommends itself to the support of every thinking Jewish family. NORMAN.
