The Late Newton D. Baker
The death of Newton D. Baker removes
from the scene one of the most important
figures in the movement for better Chris-
tian-Jewish relations, Since the founding
of the National Conference of Jews and
Christians, he has served as general chait-
man of the movement that is about to ob-
serve its 10th anniversary of service, with
Prof. Carlton J. H. Hayes and Roger Wil-
liam Straus as Catholic and Jewish co-
chairmen. It was Mr. Baker who defined
the aim of the National Conference of Jews
and Christians as being "to moderate and
finally to eliminate a system of prejudices
which disfigures and distorts our business,
social and political relations."
For the special Human Relations Section
of the Christian Century, published Jan.
21, 1931, the late Mr. Baker wrote an ar-
ticle under the title "For the Triumph of
Democracy," and in the course of his plea
that we "make and keep democracy equal
to its task" he declared:
"If we in this movement can have in
the back of our heads all the time the idea
that the real object and purpose we are
seeking to serve is to emancipate our fel-
lowmen from obstructive prejudices that
will enable them really to the top of their
capacity to be good citizens, if we can
build up around the idea of democracy the
concentrated and exalted enthusiasm that
there is for a cause which is represented
by a war, if we as Jew and Catholic and
Protestant participate in public affairs,
and annex ourselves to public causes, and
let no child escape without feeling respon-
sibility resting upon his shoulders to par-
ticipate in these higher things; when we
do become thus zealous for an educated
people and for an intelligent and tolerant
solution of public questions; and co-oper-
ate to reduce these distinctions among
Protestant, Catholic and Jew which have
long been an unhappy thing among us and
which at times have been a disgrace among
us when they have, in the midst of politi-
cal campaigns, been basely used to whip
popular passions into irrational antagon-
isms; if the man who is a Protestant finds
that on his right hand he has a Catholic
and that on his left a Jew and that the
three are making headway together for
the greater glory of the nation by educat-
ing its citizenship to the full performance
of their duty as citizens, we will have made
genuine progress towards destroying pre-
judices."
This is a mere sample of the passion
and eloquence with which he wrote and
spoke in constant pleading for better rela-
tions between Jews and Christians. In a
similar vein he at one time propagated the
cause of the upbuilding of the Jewish Na-
tional Home in Palestine. Ile was to be
found in Catholic, Jewish and Protestant
pulpits sounding his voice in behalf of
the cause of democracy and for the elimi-
nation of prejudices that tend to create
antagonisms among peoples.
In the death of Newton D. Baker Amer-
ica loses one of her ablest sons, and the
cause of better inter-faith relations its
best advocate.
Which Road Will Poland Choose
Poland's most drastic step back to me-
dievalism, through the establishment of
the "Ghetto Benches," has at last met with
firm denunciation on the part of America's
outstanding educators and religious lead-
ers. To the earlier appeals to the Polish
government—issued by the American sec-
tion of the International League for Aca-
demic Freedom, American Federation of
Teachers, Committee for Defense of Rights
of Jews in Central and Eastern Europe
functioning in Paris and the American
Youth Congress—are now added the voice
of 994 professors in 104 American univer-
sities, the American Committee Pt Reli-
gious Rights and Minorities and the ap-
peal signed by 179 educators among whom
are presidents of universities, including
Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, Nobel Prize winners and
other outstanding scholars.
The American Committee on Religious
Rights and Minorities placed its finger on
an important spot in the existing situa-
1 tion when it stated in its appeal: "We call
upon the Cardinal Archbishop of Warsaw,
r the clergy and members of the Catholic
Church, the leaders and members of each
of the Protestant Churches, the Metropoli-
s tan and people of the Eastern Orthodox
Church, to oppose this inhuman act. These
together form the vast majority of the peo-
. ple of Poland, and they cannot be absolv-
- ed from responsibility for what is happen-
log under the Polish flag. We urge them,
in the name of their religion and in the
Interest of justice and righteousness, to
demand of the nation adequate protection
for all minorities and the cessation of this
anti-Semitic agitation which, unfortunate-
ly, is being carried on by people most of
whom profeits to be Christians. The spirit
of true Christianity demands the recogni-
tion by the new Poland of a willingness
to help solve the political and economic
problems inevitable in this present world
conditions in the spirit of tolerance and
sympathy. Finally, we appeal to the four
millions of people of Polish descent in the
United States to express to the govern-
ment and others in authority in Poland
and to the Polish ambassador at Washing-
ton their respectful but earnest protest
against the prespnt persecution of the
Jews in Poland."
The clergy, and especially the Catholic
Church, has it within its power to put a
stop to the horrors experienced by Jews
in Poland and to the humiliations to which
Jewish students are subjected. Further-
more, Americans of Polish extraction are
in position to exert an influence upon the
Polish government, and ?t is to be hoped
that they will join the forces that are
pleading for justice and freedom against
the reactionary elements that dominate
the scene in Poland today.
Poland has been handed a challenge:
Will she join the enlightened nations in
preventing the type of misfortune that is
threatened by the enaction of "Ghetto
Benches," or will she remain in the ranks
of the countries that are ruled by terror
and despair? The New York Times points
to Poland's opportunity to retrieve her
honor in an editorial in which it states:
Nearly 200 American educators and adroit.
ars have signed a protest against the intro-
duction of "ghetto benches" for Jewish stu-
dents in Polish universities. Among the sign-
ers are three-score college presidents, more
than 100 deans and full professors, and five
Nobel Prize winners in science. There are
no Jews among them, and the issue is described
as bigger than anti-Semitism. Regimentation
of Jewish students is sure to lead to the de-
struction of teaching freedom for everybody
in Poland. It is a step on the road to the
bleak intellectual totalitarianism which has
engulfed the German and Italian universities.
Time must naturally elapse before we can
expect to note the effect of such • protest—
it is really more an appeal than a protest—on
government opinion and public opinion in
Poland. But it is plain that such • manifests.
lion of world sentiment cannot be ignored at
Warsaw. It is not American scholarship alone
that speaks. The same Nailer dominates in
the learned world of Great Britain and France.
In other words, Poland's tentative step toward
a Hitlerisre of her own is regarded with sor.
row and repugnance in the great sister de-
mocracies to whom modern Poland owes her
national existence,
Nor is it an answer to say that gratitude
does not play a part in statesmanship, which
must always be realistic to the moment. Pro.
&ace would reinforce the argument from
gratitude in reminding the Polish nation that
the friendship of the western democracies is
still worth something. It is far from certain
that in a showdown between fascism and de.
mocracy in Europe totalitarianism is the horse
to bet on. For that matter, Poland's owe for-
eign policy has made it clear that she is not
herself certain of the outcome. Poland has
pursued a policy of balance and neutrality,
which It is her perfect right to do. But if
it is to be a true balance of forces Poland
obviously cannot take • chance of alienating
public sentiment in the free countries.
If
she loses strength there she becomes automei•
rally weaker against Germany,
Poland has ■
an opportunity to capture the
imagination of the democratic world. She
has stressed the difficulties of her greographi-
cal position between two mighty neighbors,
Germany and Soviet Russia. But it may be
truly said that Poland also occupies • moral
and intellectual position betwee n these two
dictatorships. Poland is still in large measure
• free country lying between the Hitler abso-
lutism with its utter degradation of the in.
tellectual life, and the Soviet absolutism with
its system of government by firing squads.
Poland can impress herself on world opinion
by making it clear that she will imitate neither
of her neighbors, but will hold fast to the
way of life that obtains among her frienls
the democratic nations. Poland has it within
key power to make herself eminent as an en.
lightened nation betwee n two great areas of
darkness.
Poland is before the bar of the -court
of the civilized world. Besides, Poland's
children throughout the world now have
an opportunity to speak their minds
against the atrocious occurrences to
which the Polish government has unfor-
tunately given sanction.
Which way will Poland turn, to the path
of justice or still deeper in the jungle of
reaction?

John Gunther's 1938 edition of "Inside Europe,"
(Harper, $3.50), presented in revised form with
30,000 additional words of new commentary and
with changes in the original text to fit latest
developments, is without question the most signi-
ficant book available on the overseas situation.
There is not another volume, of the numerous
books written on the European situation, which
compares with this one in the approach to the
crises which cause Europe to be a boiling caul-
dron, and in its clarifying and thoroughly illumin-
ating style which leaves the reader better informed
and thoroughly acquainted with what is transpir-
ing in practically every country in Europe.
The publishers hail Mr. Gunther's book as the
outstanding one in 12 countries—the United States,
Canada, England, France, Czechoslovakia, Hol-
land, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Argentine, Swit-
zerland and Australia. They are justified in their
claim not merely on the basis of best-selling
standards but because the book is so important
for those who wish to know what actually trans-
pires in Europe. When the first "Inside Europe"
volume was published there was peace in Spain,
King Edward VIII was the ruler of England and
President Roosevelt was the idol of classes and
masses. Today, with the European scene more
disturbing than ever and with changes transpir-
ing everywhere, includirfg this country, this vol-
ume emerges as an even greater work than before.
It is natural that this work should begin with
Hitler. The Nazi dictator's ranting, his habits,
his "grudges against God" because "Jesus was a
Jew," the beginning of his hatred for Jews—these
are more clearly described than ever before.

Good Will Mixed With Vengeance
A non-Jewish friend, struck by the appeal con-
tained in the anti-Nazi boycott stamps issued by
the Jewish War Veterans, pasted them on his
Christmas and New Year cards. here is an in-
stance of good will gestures mixed with a bit
of vengeance (hate?). It is justified, of course,
as the reaction of the democratic world to the
regime of dictate/S. And the causes motivating
such expressions of hate should cause Christians
to hate Nazism and fascism all the more because
they are compelled on theirholiest day in their
religious year to think in terms of defense of the
democratic ideals against the inroads of move-
ments that suppress freedom of thought and ex-
pression.

George Pierrot: Pacifist Now

Responding to "Hagalilah" Call
Every important Jewish community is responding
to the call of the Jewish National Fund for the
redemption of the Hutch region in Upper Galilee.
The slogan "Hagalilah—Forward to Galilee" is
meeting with a response that is assuring the con-
struction of new colonies in Palestine to bear the
names of American cities and states—among them
being Los Angeles, Texas, Indiana, Newark. If
every community in America could be enrolled
in this land-redemption project, the new Palestinian
advance would mark the beginning of a new era
in Jewish colonization efforts.
Nothing has thus far been said about Detroit's
participation in this important effort. It would
be to this community's credit if a colony called
"Detroit" could be built in the Hutch region. It
would be to our discredit if were to be among the
few cities not included In this great national under-
taking.
