Kurt Peiser's Resignation
News of the resignation of Kurt Peiser
from the executive directorship of the
Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit will
be received with a great deal of regret by
the community at large.
In order to understand the work Mr.
Peiser has done in this community, it is
necessary to know the conditions under
which he arrived. Ile came to this city
at a time when Detroit was suffering from
the severest crisis in history. The closing
of the banks deprived the Detroit agencies
of the means for carrying on under nor-
mal functions. It was impossible to raise
any money and for a period of one year
all of the non-local agencies were asked to
abstain from making requests for funds
in Detroit.
Gradually, however, Mr. Peiser carried
through a program which caused this
community to emerge from a period of
stagnation and to return to its natural
self.
It was under Mr. Peiser's leadership that
the Jewish Community Center was built
and that the new Hdine for the Aged is
being erected. Under his leadership,
steps were taken for the unification of
the various groups in the city and for the
creation of a semblance of unity which
promises to become permanent through
the formation of the •Jewish Community
Council.
All elements in the Detroit Jewish Com-
munity will join in expressing to Mr.
Peiser their regrets over his leaving this
city and in wishing him success in his new
important tasks in Philadelphia.
Henry Ford's Reply
The reply by Henry Ford to the chal-
lenge issued by the Non-Sectarian Anti-
Nazi Leapie relative to the circulation of
"International Jew" by Nazis in Germany
who continue to use the name of Henry
Ford is of significance at this time. Mr.
Ford, through his secretary, states that he
is prepared to take steps to put a stop to
the circulation of the malicious lies con-
tained in the pamphlet by preventing the
use of his name in this connection.
It will be not only interesting to observe
what steps Mr. Ford will take in this mat-
ter, but it will be well to note how the
Nazis respond to a demand by the
automobile magnate that his name should
not be misused in connection with anti-
Sem i t i c propaganda, association with
which he disavowed 10 years ago.
The Boycott Must Go On
The inauguration of a movement to boy-
cott the proposed Schmeling-Braddock
fight is less important in itself than it is
in the sense that it serves to call attention
again to the anti-Nazi boycott that is being
conducted by liberals and Jews through-
out the world.
The boycott of the Schmeling fight must
be carried to a successful conclusion not
only for the sake of preventing the spend-
ing of money for a bout in which the par-
ticipation of an avowed Nazi is planned
but also because it should serve as a signal
to renew the activities for the boycott
movement
In the past few months there has been
a slowing up of activities in relation to
the boycott of German goods. The boy-
cott must be renewed and must be carried
on without a halt. The present is an ex-
cellent time to revive the activities against
the Nazis in Germany. The boveot must
go on! .
U. S.-British Obligation to Jewry
". •
Hadassah's Important Statement
Hadassah's 20,000-word report on the
status of the health agencies in Palestine
serves not only to place on record the great
contributions made by Jews in bringing
better hygienic conditions to Palestine, but
is at the same time a stinging rebuke to
the British administration for the unfair-
ness with which it is treating the Jewish
section of the population. In this state-
ment, which was submitted to the Jewish
Agency for Palestine for presentation to
the Royal Commission, Hadassah declares:
While the Jewish community regards with
gratification the concern of Government for
the Arab section and the large expenditures
made in health for it, it cannot but bring to
the attention of this Commission the fact that
health services for Jews have been made the
latter') own concern, and that a heavy burden
has thus been placed on the Jewish section
for the maintenance of even those funda-
mental and essential services which are re-
garded in every civilized country of the world
as the proper concern of government.
The complete Hadassah memorandum
deserves to be read and studied. It shows
how Jewish efforts have helped in the
eradication of malaria; how Hadassah has
helped to solve the problem of hospitali-
zation; how the Arabs have benefited from
these efforts directly and indirectly; bow
infant mortality has declined from 200 in
1927 to 131 in 1935. The report states:
"The most decisive factor in this decline
is the Jewish rate which was reduced from
125 in 1923 to 64 in 1935 and which re-
presents a decline of almost 60 per cent.
This outstanding accomplishment was rec-
ognized in the Expert Report, 1928, which
refers to it as 'a tribute to the organized
infant welfare service of the Hadassah
Medical Organization,' and by the govern-
ment in its 1926 report which states, 'as
in previous years work carried out by
Hadassah infant welfare centers was more
extensive and highly developed than that
of other centers.' The maternal mortality
of 6.4 per 1,000 in Government hospitals
is about equal to the American record. In
the Hadassah maternity sections the mat-
ernal mortality is 1.9 per 1,000."
In a significant conclusion, the Hadassah
report declares:
The record shows that in almost every
branch of health work Hadassah blazed the
trail which other organizations in Palestine
and in surrounding countries, and the Pales-
tine Government itself, later followed. It
indicates that in almost all of its activities
Iladassah worked both for Arabs and Jews
during the first year; and that, although the
government has since made similar services
available for the Arab population Hadassah's
institutions and services continue to be open
to all sections of the population.
It shows that in the quarter of a century
since its inception, Hadassah has spent a total
of $7,500,000 for health work, thereby re-
lieving the government of this expenditure,
and enabling it to spend comparatively large
sums on the Arab population. Directly and
indirectly the Arab has benefited by his Jewish
neighbor . . . Only if ever larger masses of
Jewish immigrants are permitted to enter Pal-
estine would the Jews be justified in continu-
ing their support of medical and public health
institutions which is normally a function of
the government.
It is with satisfaction that we record that
the government has ever been ready to ac-
knowledge the work Hadassah is doing and
the value of that work for the country. It is
discouraging, however, that this recognition
has not been paralleled by such government
subventions to the Jewish health service as
could be considered commensurate with the
numbers and needs of the Jewish community
and with the large contribution of that com-
munity to government revenue.

SCHILDKRAUT GETS

the list of important screen figures
signed to appear in David O.
Selznick's technicolor "A Star is

director assigned to this produc-
tion about Hollywood and its in-
nermost secrets. This is the second
picture for which Schildkraut has
been signed on the Selznick In-
ternational lot. Ile appeared pre-
viously in "The Garden of Allah."
Schildkraut will long be remem-

BALTIMORE'S LARRY ADLER
Baltimoreans are taking pride in
the fact that the former King Ed-
ward of England renounced the
throne and its accompanying
glories for the sake of "Wally"
Simpson who hails from the Monu-
mental City. Residents of Balti-
more can once more display their
pride as far as the British Empire
is concerned, as Larry Adler,
America's harmonica wizard, has
made good with the newly-accepted
King George VI. Early in Decem-
ber Larry played at the Empire
Theater in Edinburgh, Scotland, a
Command Performance before the
then Duke and Duchess of York.
That marked the first occasion the
"king's oldest brother" ever enter-
tained a music-hall. Jerry Adler,
the younger of the two harmonica
stylists, also participated in the
bill. In a letter to Maurice R.
Schochett, of the Baltimore Jew-
ish Times, Larry adds: "My dad
considered the event sufficiently
important to rate a dinner-jacket
that he wore throughout the eve-
ning. A record for dad." Of course,
these lines were jotted down at a
time when no one here as well as
in England had an idea Edward
would abdicate. Among the plums
plucked in the British Isles, Larry
Adler came out with flying colors
as far as "The Big Broadcast of
1037" Is concerned, he wrote Sho-
chett. The English distributing
company for Paramount ordered
extra footage of Adler's specialty
in this film for general release.
The film officials obtained the foot-
age. And when the film was shown
in London Adler's name was up in
in electric lights. Adler recently
completed a film role for a British
picture, "Calling All Stars." The
billboard lists Adler as No, 6 in
the rating of the six largest at-
tractions in all England.

Women Can Restore World's Sanity
By MRS. ISRAEL ZANGWILL
The abolition of war is humanity's supreme
need today. Thus in working toward this end
woman takes her chief place in world progress.
Moreover, with the introduction of the aero-
plane war has been brought into the home. The
old order no longer exists when men went out
to fight and women stayed behind to weep. In
Europe, at least, future conflicts will be decided
in the humble dwellings of the great cities. One
might almost say that the trenches will be held
by a new form of infantry, those of tender years.
War has become essentially a feminine preoccu-
pation, while world peace forms the most im-
portant task of motherhood.
In 1914 it was perhaps excusable to believe
that good could come out of strife. We were
fighting to end war—but war has gone on almost
continuously ever since. We were fighting to
safeguard democracy—but dictatorship has
evolved. We were fighting to free the world
from Prussian militarism — but Europe is still
trembling before this menace.
Then as to the positive results of the great
war, it brought the whole world to the edge
of bankruptcy. It destroyed the manhood in
every belligerent country and starved he children
in most of them. It filled the asylums with shell-
shocked soldiers and babes crazed while still un-
born. It crippled, blinded, tortured millions of
human beings. And all for what? Is any one
the happier?
And now we talk of trying another Euro-
pean war, on the principle of the whole jaw of
the dog that bit us. Every nation is frenziedly
beating its ploughshares into swords and its
pruning-hooks into spears. Man can live by
bayonets alone, so the dictators inform us. But
do the dictators know?
It may be that the elimination of this unfit
Planet is necessary to the evolution of the uni-
verse. Still, women might make the planet less
unfit. By restoring sanity to a distracted world
women might even now enable it to survive.

Don't Kill Our Children!
A most disappointing experienci
since my return to America a few
weeks ago—and especially during
the joyous Chanukah season—was
the complete absence of Palestin-
ian products on the tables in the
Jewish homes where I was per-
mitted to join the festivities. There
were French, Hungarian, Italian
and even German wines galore,
chocolates from Holland, jams and
marmalades from Britain and even
Scottish haggis in one place, but
of the flower of Rischon le-Zion I
got nary a whiff. How is this?
Have the Jews in America lost
their taste for the good things of
the earth, or do they not know that
connoisseurs in Europe make the
well-known tongue-clicking sound
when they merely hear the name
of the Sauternes and Chablis of
Eretz Israel mentioned. I wonder.
Albert Londres, the famous
Parisian reporter, who perished in
the Philippar disaster in the Red
Sea, could never forget the taste
of the Grave Superieure which
was placed before him and Senator
Jules Godart in my company in the
famous Rothschild colony in 1929.
I would meet him on the streets of
Montmarte, or in the Ukraine or
in Marrakesch, and he would say
at once: "Ah, but the memory of
those wines lingers like a fine per-
fume. I have a stock of it in my
house, but I would give anything
in the world to go through the ex-
perience of my first sip once
more!" Like Monsieur Londres
there are many and their number
would increase to legion if the
facts were only known.

-happy dwelling-place of mankind. Today, when
we want to reach each other, we have to do it
in hundreds of languages, and there is perhaps
only one common platform where the feeling
of the different people really can meet, and that
is concerning the question of peace—or, to trans-
late It into woman's language: DO NOT KILL
OUR CHILDREN! That cry every woman will
understand even today. And to make every
woman raise that cry is our chief task just now.
But in the world to come—I Bee it before
me now—there will be one universal language,
understood by every human being. With this,
as by the technical development which will per-
mit us to overlook distance, there will be many
ways to enrich our lives by the enormotts human
contact which will become natural between every
individual with every other.
How much time shall we be able to give to
reason and the heart that day when, thanks to
technical progress, anxiety about material mat-
ters has loosened its grip on our throats, and we
know that none is suffering hunger or cold any-
where on our planet! How many previously un-
heard and muffled melodies from souls living far
away will bring joy and happiness into our daily
life!
No diplomats on that Utopian day will be
needed to interpret our mutual relations, for this
relationship will be felt by every member of
Earth's society. 'We shall be able to speak to one
another, understand one another, help and love
one another. War will then be as base • crime
as the murder of brother and
sister is a crime

natural as the rising of the sun and the flutter
of the breeze.

There is no doubt that women are partieu'-
larly apt at international collaboration because
of the qualities deeply rooted in their nature—
their spirit of continuity and the special gift they
have of seizing rather upon what unites people
than upon what divides them.
The women of America were pioneers in
the field of women's rights, and if they had not
in the past no abundantly proved their capacity
to fill posts in many departments of national
life it might never have occurred to the founders
of the League to recognize the equality of women
and their right to participate in international
life.
The Olympic Torch is passed on from gen-
eration to generation and from country to coun-

Jewish Woman Pioneers
By MME. GERTRUDE,VAN TYN
The history of our people is one long tale
of sorrow and suffering, of endless patience, of
attempts at destruction of large parts of our
People calling forth the will to live. A deep-
rooted idea, a faith in its destiny and in its
ultimate salvation must indeed have possessed
this people, that it conceived and carried out
amidst a world full of hatred, danger and enmity
the great ideal of rebuilding its home in Pales-
tine.
From the beginning Jewish women have
Played a large part in making the desert which
Palestine was into the fertile land it is now
wherever Jews have colonized.
The modern Jewish woman in Palestine was
not content to devote her labor to the tasks re-
served for women in the Diaspora. The task
of reclaiming the land for Jewish settlement re-
quired from her work which in normal and settled
countries is reserved for men exclusively. Heavy
at the best is the task of the pioneer. Heavy and
often incredibly hard is the task of the pioneer
woman in Palestine. She has said farewell to
all ordinary ideas of comfort and security, to
build up—together with the men—for those to
come a home where Jewish children can grow
up undisturbed to produce and develop the fruits
of the earth, the fruits of Jewish thought and
Jewish genius.
Let those who are young now beware, lest
the precious, hard-fought-for possession of equal
rights with men, of full citizenship for women,
be taken away from them; lest a future
gener-
ation of women once more be forced to do the
pioneer work in the very heart of Europe.

Let Us Understand One Another
By MME. LEON BRUNSCHWIGG
One always has a tendency toward distort-
ing, from a distance, the doings and very spirit
of a country. To know one another it is neces-
sary to understand one another, and in order to
reach this understanding we must meet, talk, ex-
change opinions, compare doings and, with mutual
good will, try to find a policy which will allow
the co-operation necessary to assure human prog-
ress. It has become quite commonplace to re-
peat that the world is now torn between two
ideologies: the ideology of force, which does not
hesitate to dominate by fear, and the ideal of
democracy, based on mutual help and solidarity
of different countries, putting its confidence into
every citizen, so that, through a self-imposed
discipline, men may realize by themselves what
elsewhere is obtained only by the use of sheer
force,
