A Message to the Jewish People on the Occasion
of Rosh Hashonah
By ARTHUR H. VANDENBERG
United States Senator from Michigan
I am happy to take advantage of another annual
opportunity to present my New Year's greetings
through the great courtesy of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle. Although Jewish people all round the
globe are finding much perplexity and trouble —
and often insufferable outrage — in these trying
times, we in America may still proclaim our grati-
tude that civil liberties in the United States are still
unimpaired; and that this land of freedom tolerates
no racial or religious prejudice. It is the crowning
glory of the American Constitutional system and our
immortal Bill of Rights. None know it better than
our Jewish citizenship which bitterly sees what
happens elsewhere under different auspices. None,
therefore, will be more eager to assert a New
Year's Resolution" that the American System shall
be faithfully preserved; that our defenses—in the
Constitution and the Courts — shall never be im-
paired; and that Liberty-Under-Law for all faithful
citizens, regardless of race, color, religion or creed,
shall be irresistibly maintained. To this "Resolu-
tion" we shall add the hope and prayer that this
high American example may one day inspire emula-
tion in other lands where intolerance and bigotry
now hold dark sway.

The Origin of Priesthood in
Ancient Israel
Prof. Herbert II. Willett writes:
"In early Hebrew days there was
no special order of men consti-
tuting a priesthood. Every man
was both ruler and priest in his
own family. The sheikh of a village
would naturally exercise the some
functions in behalf of the com-
munity. In a similar manner the
kings of Israel offered sacrifices in
behalf of the nation. Saul, David
and Solomon are represented as
ministering in this manner. There
appears to have been no restriction
of priestly ministries to any one
tribe or family group, although
members of the clan of Levi may
have been favored in the employ-
ment of village priests owing to
the prestige of the name of Moses,
and the fact that they were too
few to hold any tribal area.
"The development of an order
of priests, with ranks from high
priest down to common • priests,
Levites and Nethinim, or temple
servants, was a gradual process.
By their own efforts their privil-
leges were augmented and their
rewards increased. The earlier
sources make no mention of the
office of high priest. The first no-
tice of a superior priest is in con-
nection with the discovery of the
law book (2 Kings 22:4,18) where
Ilikiah is called the higY 'priest'
But this may be due to the custom ;
prevailing in the age of the writer,
or to revision in the period of the
priest code. The first authentic
reference to a high priest by a
contemporary writer is Zechariah's
statement regarding 'Jushua the
high priest.'"
The late Fritz Haber, German
Jewish scientist who won the Nobel
Prize in physics for his develop-
ment of the artificial nitrogen fix-
ation process which helped Ger-
many stand out against the British
wartime blockade, received almost
lyric praise in the Essener Na-
tionalzeitung, Goering's paper, in
an article written by Dr. Dietrich,
chief of the Nazi press chamber.
Ousted from his job after the Nazis
came to power, Haber died in exile,
but the Nazi official called him "a
genius", without, of course men-
tioning the fact that he was a
Jew.
American tourists are so scarce
in Germany this year that the
Nazis have hired two big-time
American press agents to plug the
beauties of Naziland . . . The job
will cost 60 grand.

LONDON (WNS) — Jewish
emigration organizations, seeking
an outlet for the hundreds of
thousands of Jews in Eastern and
Central Europe, may turn to New
Zealand if the mass immigration
plans said to be favorably con-
sidered by the New Zealand gov-
ernment should be carried out, it
is reported in "Round Table," a
British review. According to a
New Zealand report in this jour-
nal, a substantial part of the
New Zealand press, economic and
welfare organizations and cham-
bers of commerce are in favor of
lifting immigration restrictions.
Mass immigration to New Zea-
land is said to find its strongest r
advocate in Mr. Barnard, speaker
of the New Zealand parliament,
who is understood to favor ad-
mitting a maximum of 5,000,000
immigrants. New Zealand busi-
ness circles are also reported to
be favorable because of the ire
portance of mass consumption.
The chief opposition is concen-
trated in the labor unions who
fear that increased immigration
would lower the wage level. The
present population of New Zea-
land is 1,600,000. The Jewish
population is 3,000.
Every time you get your pic-
ture taken in one of those photo-
matons, drop coins in slot machine
games in arcades or try to win a
prize by playing any other kind of
coin-operated gadget you're put-
ting money in the pocket of Bill
Rabkin, president of the Interna-
tional Mutoscope Reel Company,
which makes all those games.
