Pending the out- come, humanity's hopes hang in the balance. If autocracy were to win, once again we should see the dark ages. When de- mocracy finally triumphs, the gains of 2,000 years of effort shall have been preserved. The far-sighted business man is aware that Life Insurance is one of the safest investments in the world. Through Great-West pol- icies, the future of his family can be provided for, and he can safeguard his business against emer- gencies. The Great-West Life offers a policy for every person and purpose. In thin contest the Jewish peo- ple and their homeland occupy a deeply symbolic significance. The Jewish people, perhaps more than any other minority group, are the victims of the brutality, the arro- gance and the ignorance which the enemies of democracy dis- play. If democracy fails dark clouds hang over the future of Judaism. So long as democracy lasts the identity and distinction of the Jewish race will be main- tained. Palestine, under present con- ditions, is more than a harbor for oppressed Jews from other lands. As a small liberty-loving country, its future depends upon the good will and good faith of the large liberty-loving nations. Palestine tests the sincerity of these larger nations; tests wheth- er they have the vision to see into the future; tests whether they realize that every far-away HARRY IIIMELSTEIN 1512 UNION GUARDIAN BLDG.

But I proved an apt pupil, and pretty soon I was cursing with the best of them. However, I didn't keep this job very long. It was hard work, and I never did think I was cut out for real labor. So back I went to my old love, the drums, and in 1913 I got a job playing with a second-rate band in a tiny Chicago cafe. Five years later I was still beating my drum there at the same $20 a week salary that I got when I started. Fired by His Brother I began to get pretty desperate over my lack of progress, and so I wrote to my brother, who own- ed a large cafe in California, and applied to him for a job. I got the job, all right, but I didn't hold it very long . . . I insisted on leading the band from my position at the drums. My brother gave me a real break by firing me.

The British nation made that promise through the Balfour Declaration of the in 1917. Article 22 League of Nations' Covenant re- garded it as "a sacred trust of civilization." The Congress of the United States 15 years ago declared in like manner the sen- timents of the American peon's,. Two years later, by treaty, we sanctioned Birtish administration of Palestine under the Mandate. Un der these circumstances Britain's obligation is not only toward the Jews. She has sign- ed a compact in the name of de- mocracy for the benefit of gener- ations yet to come. Britain can maintain her faith only by honor- ing this obligation. America has the right to expect her to do so. The American people wherever possible must help her to do so. The colonization of Palestine must be encouraged. The prom- ises made for Palestine must be kept. That is the test of fair treatment toward the Jewish peo- ple.

The board also approved a budget of more than $200,000 for the coming year. An amendment to the union by- laws making the president and vice-president of She rabbinical body ex-ofticio voting members of the union executive board is ex- pected to promote better coo, era- tion between the union and the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

Visitors in Thousands at In- sect Zoo at Conven- tion Hall Never before in history have Michigan insects received the at- tention given them in the last week. For visitors in thousands, from many parts of the United States, have called on them in the newly- opened Michigan Insect Zoo in Convention Hall, Detroit, to in- spect them in their glass cages. Attracting especial attention have been the clownish black tumblebugs, the Black Widow spiders and the big red-and- brown Cocropia moths. But many other varieties of Michigan insect life—walking sticks, dragon flies, rose beetles, Polyphemus moths, horned grasshoppers, even mos- quito wrigglers—have held big knots of spectators. The Zoo, at 4807 Woodward Ave., will be open all summer. Brayton Eddy, nationally known as entonologist, author and lec- turer, is director.

Further, I may allow myself to assume that you are acting, if not in the pay, at least in the inter- ests of a foreign power. I, myself, am sueposed to get $20,000 a year from Moscow. If only I were able to collect it! Or, looking at you from a somewhat different point of view, your profession of pa- triotism is cant and hypocrisy, and you are concerned about your security and income. I would like to describe just what tolerance means to me. Tolerance is not lazy or cyni- cal indifference. It is not the Attitude of "why get excited. What difference will it make 100 years from now?" Tol- erance, as I see it, is fair play. It is good sportsmanship. It Is the determination to believe the best of an opponent, to be- lieve that be, too, is trying to be honest and disinterested. • • • • • W. B.
