The Campaign Budget

•

We call the attention of our readers to
the most significant article, "The Ritual
Murder Libel," which we are pleased to
present in this issue.
Having been published in the Common-
weal Magazine, one of the leading Catho-
lic periodicals in America, it assumes im-
portance by virtue of the fact that it places
on record a challenge to Christians on the
question of the ritual murder libel which
has caused Jews untold misery.
It is to the credit of the Catholic Church
that one of its very important instruments
of public opinion should have published
an article which is so critical. This is an
act which serves to indicate a desire on the
part of responsible Catholic leaders to
co-operate in eliminating injustice and to
prevent misery imposed on an entire
people in the name of a falsehood that is
only too often based on religious fanatic-
ism.
Although critical and challenging in
tone, we believe that this calm and dis-
passionate discussion of an important
problem will lead to greater inter-racial
co-operation. As long as the truth can be
made a matter of record and its discussion
encouraged, the cause of brotherhood and
good will must gain ground in the long
run.

Detroit Jews are asked to give the larg-
est sum that has ever been set as a quota
for an Allied Jewish Campaign. •
The announcement by the board of gov-
ernors of the Jewish Welfare Federation
of Detroit of the quota of $385,000 con-
stitutes the most important single piece of
news of local interest in many years.
To understand the importance of this
large quota, the fact must be taken into
consideration that for almost five years
this community has not done its duty by
oppressed European Jewries.
We have been giving miserable pittances
annually for the relief of starving millions
and for the upbuilding of Palestine as a
haven for many thousands of these unfor-
tunates.
Communities with half the number of
,Jews in Detroit gave twice the sums we
contributed to the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee and the Palestinian funds.
The record is a shameful one for De-
troit Jewry. We have been selfish. We
were more concerned about paying mort-
gages on country clubs. We have pro-
vided the means for the construction of
a most luxuriant home for the aged.
The time has at last arrived for Detroit
Jews to pay their long-standing debt to
millions of declassed and homeless, to hun-
dreds of thousands who are building a
home, to tens of thousands who are being
provided with a haven.
There will undoubtedly be opposition
to the large quota. It is an understand-
able reaction on the part of many who will
resent the approaching increased obliga-
tions that will be placed upon them.
But when the community studies the
all-inclusive program mapped for the
Allied Jewish Campaign to be conducted
in May, we are confident that it will ac-
cept with wholehearted approval the sum
bet for the campaign and the causes in-
eluded therein.
Every important local health, edud-
tional, recreational, relief, refugee rehabi-
litation and civic-protective agency is in-
cluded in the campaign.
The same continues to hold true of the
national agencies—with the addition this
year of the American Jewish Congress
whose work is too well known to need fur-
ther elaboration.
Another important agency that will
henceforth receive a stipant from the drive
will be the new agency of the National
Conference of Jews and Christians which
is rendering great service in the dissemin-
ation of truth regarding our people among
non-Jews and helps immensely to cement
good will between the various elements in
the population.
It is to the overseas relief agencies that
the major portion of the increase over last
year's quota will go this year. Five mil-
lion Jews are facing hot only starvation
but virtual annihilation, and unless we
come to their relief their despair will be
our lasting shame.
The quota this years includes an addi-
tional sum for the building fund for the
Home for the Aged, in order to assure the
completion of the beautiful building that
is about to be dedicated. Furthermore,
substantial increases are being allotted all
the local agencies included in the Allied
Jewish Campaign.
Taking into consideration the general
increases in living expenses and in earned
incomes, the larger quota is not an unfair
one. Certainly, it is not an extravagance.
How will the community react to this
large quota?
The question should rather be: Will De-
troit Jewry embrace the needs of their
fellow-Jews overseas as if they were their
own, or will they cling to a selfishness that
cements a partnership with those who are
creating misery for Israel?

TALMUDIC TALES

Wise Action by Shaarey Zedek

There is nothing new in the fact that
Jewish life is marked by considerable dis-
ruption and division in our ranks. English
speaking Jews very seldom fraternize with
the Yiddish speaking Jews. The latter,
when they celebrate literary events of a
Yiddish nature, seldom have the co-opera-
tion and encouragement of the former.
When there is such co-operation, it is
therefore an event worthy of notice.
Such attention is now due Congregation
Shaarey Zedek, which was among the first
groups in the city to join with the Yehoash
Committee which is arranging celebrations
on the occasion of the completion of the
Bible's translation into Yiddish by Ye-
hoash (Si Bloomgarden), the great Yid-
dish poet and writer who passed away sev-
eral years ago. Congregation Shaarey
Zedek was among the first groups in the
city to make a liberal contribution to a
fund which is being gathered in order to
make possible the publication of Yehoash's
Yiddish translation of the Bible.
It is not Shaarey Zedek's liberality that
makes this gift stand out, but rather the
fact that Detroit's conservative congrega-
tion is ready to co-operate with important
Jewish movements regardless of their
ideology or color in order to help cement
Jewish life in this community. For such an
attitude Congregation Shaarey Zedek and
its rabbi, Dr. A. M. Hershman. who en-
courages such efforts, deserves the highest
commendations.

Hungarians Become Zionists

An interesting cable from Budapest re-
ceived a few days ago states:

One of the few retaining European strong-
holds of anti-Zionism capitulated when the
Neolog Community, representing the liberal
Jews of Hungary, announced itself as endors-
ing the alms of the Palestine reconstruction
movement and aligned itself with the -pro-
Palestine cause. This about-face was pub-
licly announced by Dr. Simon ilevesi, chief
rabbi of the Neolog community, and Samuel
Stern, president of the community. The Neo-
log community represents the largest segment
of Hungarian Jewry. Dr. lievesi and Mr.
Stern both signed a pro-Palestine appeal and
asserted that recent happenings in the Jewish
world have caused them to change their prev-
ious attitude toward Palestine.

This is a news item of considerable in-
terest. In Jewish ranks it has long been
taken for granted that Hungarian Jews
are most extreme in their assimilationist
attitude and that they are definitely anti-
Zionist. Evidently the trend of the times
serves further to unify Jewry and to
create a united front in behalf of Pales-
tine. This news from Budapest will be
accepted by Jews throughout the world
as a happy omen that disunity will be dis-
couraged and co-operation fostered.

Nazi "Originality"

Nazis must be given credit for at least
one thing: they try to be originai. Take
for instance the new movement in Ger-
many to adopt original terms for scientific
names accepted in other countries. In
eliminating alien words from the German
language, the Reich will now use Nahglas
(nearglass) for Opernglas, Alm for
Aluminum, Kraftwagen (power - wagon)
for Automobil and Bezueglichkeitsan-
schauungsgesetz for the more familiar
Relativitaetstheorie associated with Ein-
stein.
But it is only in the effort to eliminate
the things they don't like that the Nazis
are original. The insane desire to intro-
duce long words into the German vocabu-
lary is an old habit. A long time ago

EACH ONE HAS HIS BURDENS 1

One day a woman bent with care
amt to a wise man and asked:
"Why is it that I am beset with
o many troubles and misfortunes?
I try to do my duty as a mother
and a wife. I try to live an honest
and unright life, yet why is it
that I have greater troubles than
any one else?"
The wise man listened atten-
tively and in a kind voice told her
when she should come again to re-
ceive his answer.
In the meantime, other men and
women called upon him and many
of them asked identically the
same question. Every one thought
his troubles were greater than
those borne by anyone else.
The wise man asked them all
to come back on a certain day and
when they had assembled, he told
them to gather up all their
troubles and bring them on a
specified date to . the market place,
at which time each one could trade
his or her troubles with anyone
whose troubles seemed lighter.
But lo, when every one had
brought his troubles to the mar-
ket place to trade for lesser ones,
no lesser ones could be found.
Each one saw that his troubles
were small compared to those of
the others so they returned home
satisfied to bear their own troubles
because, as bad as they thought
their plight was, there were still
many others whose burdens were
even greater than their own.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Sarah
Kreindler of San Francisco, one
of the featured musical artists on
the National Broadcasting System
programs, was the first of the
"child wonders" who have come
from that city in recent years. She
was rated one of the latter when
she was just six years old and
had been studying the violin for
only seven months. She had never
seen a violin when she first ex-
pressed a desire to play that in-
strument. Her father, a prosper-
ous San Francisco business man,
had a tiny instrument made to
order for her, and took her to Sig-
mund Anker, famous California
teacher. Anker was enthusiastic
over her keen ear and immediately
accepted her as a pupil.
By the time Sarah was nine
years old, she was appearing pro-
fessionally and had been the guest
artist at a concert with a sym-
phony orchestra. She won two
scholarships from the Masters
School of Fine Arts, two from the
Curtis Institute in Philadelphia,
and was a pupil at different times
of Cezar Thompson, Samuel Gard-
ner and Mishel Piastre. Miss
Kreindler was the second child
musician to play over the radio
and this youthful veteran of broad-
casting recalls all the various
stages of transition through which
the newest art has gone. Micro-
phones still looked more like tele-
phones than anything else when
she first became acquainted with
them. In private life, Sarah is

Let the Church Reiterate Its Stand

Tidbits from Everywhere

By PHINEAS J. B1RON

An Appeal to the Catholic Church to Publish Its Denunciation
of the Vicious Lie That Has Been Spread Against
the Jews Throughout the Centuries

teopytight, Mt. B.

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE)

Church herself. This has been true during the lad

Catholic missionaries in China, Japan, and the
monks of Mt. Sinai, leading up to a resume of
sad experiences of the Jews of Poland. Dr.
Roth describes the circumstances under which
in 1758 the Jewish communities of Poland took
steps to defend themselves by sending Jacob
Selig (Selek) as emissary to Rome to solicit
protection. Pope Benedict XIV referred the
application to the Holy Office of the Inquisition
an Cardinal Ganganelli was selected to report
on the truth or falsehood of the charges made
against the Jewish people. Ganganelli's ency-
clical is a most effective piece of writing which
reveals a great sense of humor. Dr. Roth right-
fully states that: "Underlying the document there
is a gentle humour; and the demolition of cer-
tain arguments brought forward to bolster up
the Libel is a model of ecclesiastical sarcasm."
What makes Ganganelli's report of extreme
significance is that it quotes at length from the
earlier encyclicals from Pope Innocent IV as
well as from other Pontiffs and gives the decision
such decisive weight that no doubt can possibly
remain relative to the falsehoods levelled against
the Jews. Another significant point in Gan-
ganelli's report is the fact that he refuses to
accept the testimony of converted Jews against
their former co-religionists. Quoting from Gan-
ganelli's report: "In these neophytes from
Judaism there is wont to occur a certain trans-
port against their own nation, by reason of which
they not seldom go beyond the limits of truth."
Ganganelli emphasizes in fact that conver-
sion of Jews to Catholicism will become a most
difficult matter if Catholics will continue to
spread libels against them and thus strengthen
the resentments against apostacism. In the con-
cluding paragraph to his statement he declares:
"I therefore hope that the Holy See will take
some measure to protect the Jews of Poland,
as St. Bernard, Gregory IX, and Innocent IV
did for the Jews of Germany and of France,
'that the name of Christ be not blasphemed'
by the Jews and, moreover, that their conversion
may not become more diffcult. I do not venture
however, to put forward any project to liberate
these unfortunates from such ill-usage, hoping
that Jesus Christ will suggest to his Vicar such
means as shall be honourable to the Christian
name and conducive to the conversion of those
unhappy ones."
This eminent Catholic dignitary did not hesi-
tate to go so far as to maintain, in the Instance
of the libel which was spread by Monk Rudolph:
"It may be concluded, then, that from the action
and conduct of Brother Rudolph it is impossible
to deduce any fault of the Jews against Christ-
ians, but rather of Christians, led astray by a
hermit, against the Jews.
Dr. Roth deserves an expression of gratitude
from Jewish and Catholic communities throughout
the world for this excellent volume which, in addi-
tion to the central theme dealing with Cardinal
Ganganelli's report, includes the following Impor-
tant appendices: The Encyclical of Pope Innocent
IV; the protests against the Kiev ritual murder
accusations in 1912 that came from dignitaries
in Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia;
and the more recent protests sounded in 1934
in England against the charges in Julius
Streicher's "Der Stuermer," containing the state-
ments by Chief Rabbi Hertz, The Archbishop of
Canterbury and others.
The emphatic refutation of the libel as it is
presented In Dr. Roth's book makes this volume
one of great historic significance particularly In
view of the constant grievance repeated by Cath-
olics that Jews failed to recognize the friendship
of the Catholic Church towards them. The re-
viewer has before him a copy of the April 19,
1936, issue of "Our Sunday Visitor" which is
published in Huntington, Indiana. Under a
streaming headline entitled "The Popes and the
Jews" and "Catholic Church Has Been Their
Beat Friend," this newspaper makes the following
declaration:

Granting the Catholic grievance that Jews
fail to accept Catholic friendship, we maintain
that the Catholic Church, because it did come to
the fore in defending truth whenever falsehoods
were spread about Jews, has nevertheless failed
miserably in preventing untold tragedy by per-
mitting encyclicals like those of Pope Innocent
IV and Cardinal Lorenzo Ganganelli to remain
mere parchments in the Vatican's archives. The
publication and spread of these documents would
have gained for Jewry Catholic allies throughout
the world who undoubtedly would have defended
innocent victims when they were brutally and
mercilessly attacked during the spread of the
ritual murder libels. Because this libel is still
being spread in supposedly civilized countries like
Germany, it is perhaps not yet too late for the
Catholic Church to compile the various senti-
ments by her Pontiffs on Jewish issues and to
make them a matter of general knowledge and
public record so that it may truly be said that
Catholicism has come to the front as the defender
of truth and justice and the defier of calumny,
even when it is spread about the blasphemed Jews.

The crisis in Palestine is not
over. It has, in fact, barely begun.
Six months of baptism in fire and
sword have given excellent testi-
mony of the permanence of the
Jewish community. The disturb-
ances have shown that we have
nothing to fear from Arab terror-
ism, but from the effect of such
terrorism upon the policies of the
British Government.
The great heroism of the Jews
of Palestine has demonstrated to
the entire world that the roots of
the new Jewish homeland have
sunk deep in the soil and that its
fruits cannot be trampled and de-
stroyed any more than the will
and the idealism of the Jews to re-
build their national borne can be
blasted.
There is however the grave

In any study of the causes

Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum Is a most
Interesting personality. He is an
eminent physician and a leader
among his people. Ile is the chair-
men of the boycott commission of
the American Jewish Congress
and is a participant in Important
efforts in defense of Jewish rights.
He is also an author of note.
His "Races, Nations and Jews"
With hailed widely as an important
book dealing with the race theory
question. He has also written a
book of excellent short stories
about the war: "Mad Heroes." In
1929 he attracted wide attention
with his first book published in
this country on The Riddle of
Sex." Now comes what is believed
to be his most important work,
"The Riddle of Woman."
Published by Lee Furman, Inc.,
381 Fourth Ave., New York
($3.50), "The Riddle of Woman"
is the result of years of study and
research. Interestingly written
this book makes fascinating and
informative reading, and it is as-
suming a prominent place on the
social psychology bookshelf.
Dr. Tenenbaum treats woman

as a social problem. The result of
an exhaustive study of the litera-
tures of the ages on the subject
of "The Riddle of Woman," he
reaches interesting conclusions.
He finds a sexual tinge in every-
thing. His views will undoubtedly
be the cause of debate, and he will
arouse attacks as much as com-
mendations. But it will generally
be admitted that he has produced
a great study of the question.
As • doctor, and by making a
study of feminine glandular make-
up; as a sociologiift, and by mak-
ing a deep study of the social his-
tory of woman, Dr. Tenenbaum
offers • valuable work in "The
Riddle of Woman." It Is much
more than a medical-sociological
scientific work. It is a thorough
presentation of woman as wife, as
bride, as adulteress, as widow, as
virgin, as mother, as witch, etc.,
etc.
This Is a book worth reading
and studying. It Is a work that
further enhances the standing and
activities of a scientist, physician,
writer and Jewish leader.
