February 4, 1938 I Adar 3, 5698 Obstacles in Hospital Movement • Many must have wondered why the Jewish hospital movement in Detroit, al- though it is more than 30 years old, has met with failure and its appeal thus far apparently has fallen on deaf ears. A check-up of experiences will reveal that every enthusiastic spell in favor of a hospital died quickly because an economic depression had set in. The sponsors of the movement, instead of at least carry- ing on their propaganda work unrelenting- ly permitted the issue to be dropped in the hope that it would be revived with the ad- vent of another period of prosperity. The present instigation for a Jewish hospital threatens again to suffer setbacks, not only as a result of the "recession," but also because of the terrific blows that are being hammered at the Jewish people in reactionary countries, thus necessitating the demand for larger funds for overseas relief. In the event that the propagandists for a hospital should permit the recurrence of the economic reaction and of the European persecutions to cause a halt in efforts in behalf of a hospital, the work for this cause will be made increasingly more difficult, and the movement, whose desira- bility is gradually being recognized by lar- ger numbers in our population and by practically all the members of the medical profession, will suffer a great blow. There ought to be a lesson for Detroit Jewry from two fronts: From the position of European Jewries and from the liberal- ity of Jews in many American communi- ties. The increased restrictions on Jewish professional men in many lands is having its repercussions. Reactionaries in this country learn quicker from the fascists than they do from the world's liberals and from honest churchmen. What if the hos- pitals and medical centers in this country should erect obstacles for Jewish physi- cians similar to those that have been rais- ed in Austria, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Rumania and other backward countries? ' What if Jewish medical men in this coun- try, many of whom are making great con- tributions to their professions and to sci- ence, should find it difficult to continue the research work under unfriendly auspices? If these things should ever happen here— and we retain faith that they will not— then we shall be lost without medical in- stitutions over which Jews may have some semblance of control. Then there is the lesson in liberality which the Detroit Jewish community ap- parently has not yet learned fully. Many Jewish communities in the United States with one-fifth the Jewish population of Detroit not only support Jewish hospitals but do not neglect their other important agencies. Furthermore, Jewish communi- ties throughout the land boast of liberality that has yet to be matched in Detroit. We do not speak of gifts of the size of those made by Lucius N. Littauer, who has just given another $200,000 to Harvard Uni- versity to which he had given a $2,000,000 gift for the Graduate School of Public Ad- ministration. Nor do we have reference to the Julius Rosenwald Fund's presentation of securities valued at $500,000 to Fisk University, a college for Negroes at Nash- ville, Tenn. We have reference to the gift of $150,000 to the Children's Hospital of Columbus, 0., which was announced only a few days ago by Leo Marks, trustee for the Julius and Amelia Marks Foundation, and to numerous similar gifts that are made public from time to time. Is it pos- sible that Detroit Jewry is bereft of its wealthy and is too-pauperized to create what an important section of our popula- tion believes to be a great community need? Sponsors of the Jewish hospital move- ment must not permit a depression or an- other world Jewish calamity to interfere with activities to educate the Jewish com- munity to the needs for such a medical center. Through education there is hope that sentiment in favor of a hospital will spread and the 30-year-old dream will be realized before long. that it will continue to grow in popularity. The support given it by Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Prof. Al- bert Einstein, and other great personalities indicates endorsement of the work of the Ilistadruth — the Jewish Federation of Palestine—which is the backbone of the Jewish pioneering efforts in Palestine and whichprovides necessary means for the encouragement of colonization and cul- tural projects, in addition to financing hos- pitals and training youth for trades. Romance coupled with reality are inter- mingled in the Nachshon project. It marks the return of Jews to maritime activities. Arising from the construction of the Tel Aviv Port as well as from the introduction of a new fishing industry in Palestine, the Nachshon movement is one of the most elo- quent proofs of Jewish pioneering accom- plishment. Jews are proving good sailors and able fishermen. The Jewish flag is now flying on boats that travel on the high seas. The name Nachshon is derived from the legend about Nachshon, the son of Amminadab, whom the fable lists as having been the first to spring into the water when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. The name Nachshon—or Nachshol —means "stormy sea-waves," and it is by virtue of this fact that he was selected to be the first to bring the dedicatory offer- ing. That excellent children's magazine, Ha- boneh, published by the labor Zionists of this country, in a recent issue related the legend of Nachshon as follows: And it came to pass that when Moses led the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt, they came to the shores of the Red Sea. And hard on their heels were the Egyp- tians, hastening to overtake the hosts of Is- rael and to retur n them to captivity. And there was no other way, and Moses com- manded the son. of Israel to go into the wat- ers, which the Lord had commanded him to do. But the sons of Israel were still slaves at heart, and they feared the waves. "Who will be the first?" cried Moses. "The sea leads u. to freedom." And Nachshon sprang from the ranks, he was the brother-in-law of Aaron, the brother of Moses. And the waters rose. and became high walls, and in between it was like dry land, and when the Israelites saw that it was safe, they fol- lowed Nachshon, and came into Sinai. And Nachshon was greatly honored, and he was named "Ruler of the Waves" and so it is recorded in history. It is in keeping with the practice in vogue in modern Judaea that ancient Biblical names are being revived and are applied to the latest creations and achieve- ments. In the instance of Nachshon it is the application of an historic name to a great and romantic enterprise. It is an effort that should appeal to the imagina- tion of every Jew and that should receive the wholehearted support and co-opera- tion of every Jewish community in the world. Our Doors Closed to Immigrants Nachshon and Gewerkshaften A report issued by the State Department on the number of immigrants who came to this country indicates definitely that America's doors are closed to newcomers who seek a haven of refuge here. This re- port shows that only 53,610 new immi- grants were admitted by the United States out of a legally possible quota of 153,774, for the fiscal 'eyar that ended last June 30. In addition to this number, it is reported, 4,255 visas were granted to immigrant aliens returning from temporary sojourns abroad, to immigrant alien students and those in similar categories. The report further states that the num- ber of consular immigration visas, totalling 57,8651$ compared with 41,202 issued in the year ending June 30, 1935. In the year ending last June, consular officers abroad examined 99,074 applications, while in the previous year they dealt with only 77,537 requests. Of the visas granted last year only 30,898 were chargeable to national quotas under the Immigration Law, or about 20 per cent of the total that might have been admitted. The movement toward immigration into this country varied widely in the different na- tions which are subject to quota restric- tions. Quotas for 'Albania, Greece, Ru- mania, Syria, Turkey and the Philippine Islands, were exhausted, whereas only 91 per cent of the legal total was admitted from Germany. Other countries fell be- tween these two extremes. From these figures it is clear that even the small allotted number under the quota law is not being exhausted. This condi- tion surely is not due to prospective set- tlers' failure to apply for admission to come here. Evidently entrance is made hard for wanderers. And yet, those who hate the alien—in most instances without rhyme or reason—will not let up on their dislike of those who may come here and prove to be unlike them. How unfortunate that this land, which was famous for a century as the haven of refuge for the op- pressed among the nations of the world, which remains the wealthiest nation on the globe, should shut its doors to the hordes who now need this haven more than ever before. Two appeals for funds are currently being conducted in Detroit under the aus- pices of the Zionist labor parties, and with the co-operation of friendly organizations and the non-labor Zionist groups. Both —the Gewerkshaften and the Nachshon appeals — deserve wholehearted support and liberal contributions. The Gewerkshaften drive for the Na- tional Labor Committee for Palestine, now in its 14th year, is so well-established an agency in American-Jewish life that it no longer needs explanation. Boasting the support of more than 500,000 Jewish workers and their friends, this cause has enlisted the support of 1,000 national and local organizations and has on its rolls 50,000 individual contributors. In 210 cities in the United States and in seven provincea in Canada, the plea for Gewerk- shaften has already met with enthusiastic reaprises. and there is reason to believe The Vaad Ha-Kashruth of Detroit and our orthodox rabbis deserve commenda- tion for the energetic steps they have taken to assure the enforcement of the state kashruth law. Even those who are unconcerned about the Jewish dietary laws must agree that it is an extremely unfair practice to permit the sale of non- kosher food under kosher labels or through advertising methods which mis- lead the public into believing that they are observing kashruth. We call the attention of our readers to Rabbi Moses Fischer's splendid analysis of the kashruth laws elsewhere in this issue, Rabbi Fischer's presentation will help Jews and non-Jews understand the Jewish regulations governing the dietary laws.

The topic of his address will be "The Cultural Life of the Jews in Europe and Palestine." These organizations are also planning an intimate evening with Mr. I.eivick, at which he will read his latest works and conduct a round-table discussion of various cultural problems. The second lec- ture will be entitled "The Conflicts of Jewish Culture." The Sholem Aleichem Institute has united with Ikof, the abbreviation of the Jew- ish Cultural Varband, for the ar- rangement of this lecture, which will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 9, at the Durfee School, Coiling. wood and LaSalle Blvd. To celebrate the success of the bazaar given annually by the Sho- lent Aleichem Institute, a banquet took place Friday evening, Feb. 4, at 3754 Monterey Ave. Bruche Raskin Conducts Singing Class with New Youth Club The club of the United Middle School Class, under the name of New Youth Club, will meet every Friday evening at the Sholem Alei- chem Institute, 3754 Monterey Ave. Sessions are conducted in Yiddish and its members discuss various problems. A decision was made to inaugurate a singing class. Bruche Raskin, one of the teachers of the Sholem Aleichein Institute, accepted the invitation to teach this class in music. • Bnai David Program oa Feb. 11 Dedicated to the Boy Scouts On Feb. 11, at 8:30 o'clock, the Friday night gathering of Con- gregation Bnai David, Elmhurst and 14th, will be dedicated to the Bnai David Scout Troup No, 34. The Deputy Scout Commissioner D. Glazer, will be Tresent to speak briefly on Scouting. Rabbi Joshua Sperka will speak on "The Future of a Nation."

There will also be group singing of Palestinian songs, is to improve, his poetic genius is to climb to greater heights and his narratives are to increase in charm. This, at least, is the augury found in his latest novel, "Winter in April," just published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York ($2.). Those who have read his stirring phantasy, "Road of Ages," and that charming story, "The Enchanted Voyage," will no doubt want to read this latest work. They will not be disappointed. In fact, a surprise and a prize is in store for them. Because "Winter in April" is able Robert Nathan's best work. Ile rises to new heights. There is the some charm that is incorporated in his other stories. This one is as enchanting as their predecessors. But the additional tenderness, the simple beauty that distinguishes this work, places it another shelf above the others in greatness. It is the story of 15-year-old Ellen; her grand- father, with whom she lives since she became an orphan; the young German refugee, Eric, who, in spite of having a doctorate from Heidelberg and not knowing shorthand becomes the grand- father's secretary. There are also several minor characters, but the story centers on the three mentioned. Youthful Ellen is aroused from her childhood. She falls in love with Eric, makes every effort to keep him to herself, is jealous of his other asso- ciations. Ile, in turn, tells her she is like his sister who remained in Europe. Iler grandfather, at first amused, recognizes the seriousness of the situation. But Ellen is firm. Aroused rudely and removed front her childhood into a world of grown- ups, she is a determined guardian of the emigre who is twice her age. But Eric feels duty calling him. Ile wants to go—eventually goes—to Spain, to fight for the cause of democracy. This angle, injected into the story by the author, adds to the importance of the novel. There is a discussion of freedom. The grandfather remarks at the dinner table about "the air of freedom." Whereupon Eric comments: "But can you have freedom only in one country, and not in another? I do not think for long. In the end there will blow upon this earth only one air. Let us hope which one it is." Everything in the entire book is done so simply, so charmingly. Regardless whether he deals with Ellen's love affair or Eric's idealism, there is the same charm, the same human touch, the same sim- plicity. It is this that makes Mr. Nathan's "Win- ter in April" his best novel. Yiddish Has Its Fling If you have not read Dr. A. A. Roback's article, "You Speak Yiddish, Too!" in the February issue of Better English, you must do no without fail. You'll be amused to learn that American speech has not only absorbed many Yiddish words, but that numerous common English expressions are trace- able to Yiddish colloquialisms. Our favorite story about the origin of the word "kike" is accredited to the late Prof. Gotthard Deutsch and the stand- ard joke about Jews who try to speak German and substitute the word "zayger" for "uhr" finds re- ality in the naming of a style of watch "Zaager." Dr. Roback writes: "All languages are spoiled, and fortunately languages know of no racial superior- ity or dictatorships." Which ought to eliminate abuse in relation to this scholarly article, and should help people read this splendid essay for the enter- tainment and information it offers.

CHICAGO RABBI AT ZIONIST MEETING ON FEBRUARY 16 February 4, 1938 PURELY COMMENTARY Py PHILIP SLOMOVITZ David A. Brown Speaks of Youth David A.Brown, as dynamic today as he was 15 years ago when he accomplished the great task of securing $18,000,000 in a relief drive, told a good story the other day. Ile recalled that when *he visited a Jewish old folks' home in Budapest, several years ago, in the company of the superin- tendent, he approached one of the very old resi- dents there and inquired about her health. The woman sighed. "What's wrong," he asked. "There is only one thing wrong with me," she replied. Brown turned to the superintendent and expressed the belief that if there is only one thing wrong with her, then it ought to be possible to help her. Ile then turned again to the elderly lady and asked what this one wrong thing is. "Mein jugend," she replied. "I lost my youth." Having told the story, Brown turned to two of the younger men in his audience and said: "The trouble with many of our young people is that they, too, lost their youth." There is a world of truth in what is said. In a sense, this story, and Mr. Brown's own commentary upon it, carry with them an interesting philosophy on life. Many middle-aged and elderly men are young compared with sonic of the young men who have aged pre- maturely—for the simple reason that the former retained their spirit and their courage, while the latter are losing faith and confidence. David A. Brown—if you have not seen hint since his return to Detroit you must make it a point to meet him again—belongs to th e never . aging people. Ile is as dynamic as ever, and as courageous today as if he were still "towering in the confidence of twenty-one." Watch Dave Brown. Some day he is sure to be recalled to give evidence again of his ability to do great things for American and world Jewries. • An Injustice to William E. Dodd The Detroit newspapers blundered during the brief visit here of Dr. William E. Dodd, former United States ambassador to Germany. As a re- sult, the eminent scholar who resigned as our envoy to Nazi-land because he could not longer tolerate Ilitlerite injustice was rendered a grave disservice. One of the three daily newspapers went so far as to say that he "skipped" Detroit before his scheduled address. Another reporter stated that he was called back to Washington on sonic "secret" mission, or for some "secret" rea- son. It now develops that this commentator was the only press representative present at the con- ference with Dr. Dodd who gave the true reason for his departure before the meeting held in protest against Ilitlerism, on Jan. 25. Not be- cause we are smarter, but because we took the trouble to ask hint whether he had planned to re- main for the demonstration, and if not why not. Which brought the explanation that while he was yet in Germany he had made an engagement to speak in Baltimore (at Johns Hopkins University) and that the committee in charge of arrangements for the anti-Nazi demonstration here knew well enough all the time that he could not remain here for the public rally. His stop-over in Detroit for the press interview was in itself a splendid gesture in behalf of the cause of democracy, and to mis- represent him, as he was, was an unfortunate and unjust occurrence.
