A Christian Stands in Protest

and THE LEGAL CHRONICLE

When Dr. David Lvovich, charming
spokesman for the ORT, was in Detroit, he
told an interesting story about one of the
Christian professors in one of the Polish
universities who protested against the
"ghetto benches." This professor, too old
and too weak to stand up while lecturing,
remained seated in all his classes. But
when the "ghetto benches" were instituted
he announced that he would remain stand-
ing as long as the Jewish students are re-
fusing to occupy the humiliating sections
assigned to them and therefore stand in
their classrooms. The Jewish students in
turn realized the suffering to which a great
friend is thus subjected, and therefore left
his classes so that he should not be com-
pelled to stand while they, too, were pro-
testing against the "ghetto bench" humil-
iations.
Here is a sample of a stand-up strike
that was enacted by a Christian, and of a
great sacrifice made by those in whose be-
half he acted and who would not hurt a
friend. In the-light of this interesting ex-
perience, is it just to say that the stand-
up sympathy month observed in this coun-
try was unwise?

The Rumanian Tragedy

For more than 70 years Rumania has
been known as one of the most rabidly
anti-Semitic countries. Although legally
entitled to all rights of citizenship, Jews
were molested and were constantly sub-
jected to danger and humiliation. Prof.
Alexander Cuza, Codreanu and others had
built up a movement of hate and bigotry
that is comparable to the worst elements
of anti-Semitism under Nazi rule.
The disturbances in Poland and in Ger-
many for a time overshadowed events in
Rumania. The selection of Octavian Goga
for the premiership, however, at once
drew that country again into the unpleas-
ant limelight which revealed it and its
rulers in the repelling roles of persecutors
of innocent and harmless people.
Removal from office of Goga must not
be interpreted as an end, or even as cur-
tailment, of anti-Semitism in that country.
The new premier, Rev. Miron Christen, is
himself steeped in anti-Semitism. Fur-
thermore, King Carol is today moved by
ideas that smack of a desire to interfere
with the economic activities of his Jewish
subjects and to disrupt the tranquility of
our kinsmen. The most disturbing element
in the present situation is that Carol
should have begun to use the language of
the German Nazis and Polish Naras by
speaking of an excess in the Jewish popu-
lation. It is a most deplorable tendency
in European dealings with Jews, and this
horrible reference to the myth of a so-
called "surplus" J e wish group today
charges Jews with a new responsibility
in our fight for just and equal rights.
The battle for justice to the Jew has
begun anew. Old foes are once again
• making alliances with new ones, and the
danger at the moment looks graver than
ever before. But through unity of pur-
pose and soundness of judgment the
obstacles can be overcome and triumph
assured for justice.

Hebrew Students' Anniversary

The United Hebrew Schools have long
ago attained an important position in the
Jewish community. No anniversary cele-
bration, therefore, no matter how signifi-
cant it may appear at first glance, can pos-
sibly add to the glories of this institution
that is today the foremost educational
agency in Detroit; just as it is impossible
to detract from its standing, no matter how
serious a setback it may suffer in an eco-
nomic or other way. The bank crash and
depression of five years ago proved this
contention. Teachers who were temporarily
underpaid stuck to their posts and refused
to permit the lowering of the standards
set for the local Hebrew educational pro-
gram; and the officers in charge of the
schools' activities did much to prevent the
destruction of an ideal that had been
firmly established.
Nevertheless, the anniversary to be ob-
served on Feb. 27 does stand out as an im-
portant occasion in the community. On
that day the first class of young men and
women who have graduated from the
United Hebrew Schools will observe the
15th anniversary of their commencement.
It is a significant occasion and deserves to
be hailed as an outstanding event in the
community. Above everything else it will
serve as a signal to the community that the
•youngsters of 15 years ago arc men and
women who are not only ready for leader-
ship but many of whom have already at-
tained leadership. Furthermore, it is an
occasion for taking stock of a Jewish
achievement.
When the balance sheet of the alumni is
scanned for evidence of creative accom-
' plishments, it will be recognized at a
glance as a record of which we can be
justly proud. The graduates from the Uni-
ted Hebrew Schools are a credit to their
community. Many of them have made
their marks in our community, profession-
ally and as leaders in Jewish affairs. Some
are doctors and lawyers, several are teach-
ers, a number of them are toiling in Pales-
tine to create a new life for suffering Israel.
The 15th anniversary celebration is also
being utilized as an occasion to honor Ber-
nard Isaacs, the superintendent of the
schools. This is in itself an event worthy
of encouragement. Mr. Isaacs is a humble
person who is devoted to a great task. It
is fitting that the graduates should be the
ones to arrange for honors for Mr. Isaacs,
because they have been closest to him over
a period of years of study ; because they
sat at his feet as students; because he hag
been their guide and leader since their
graduation.
Not only the graduates of 1923 and Mr.
Isaacs, but the United Hebrew Schools as
an institution deserve the congratulations
of the community on the occasion of this
anniversary celebration.

"Safe for Differences"

"Make America Safe for Differences,"
the slogan adopted for Brotherhood Day
to be observed during the week of Wash-
ington's Birthday, Feb. 20 to 26, sounds a
clarion call to the various groups that
make up the American democracy to be
tolerant of each other's views and to strive
for the perpetuation of the ideals upon
which this republic was founded.
This year's observance of Brotherhood
Day is of special significance because it
is observed on the occasion of the 10th
anniversary of the National Conference of
Jews and Christians, the inter-denomina-
tional body that is responsible for the
spread of a feeling of good will and bet-
ter understanding in this country. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in a statement which ac-
companied his acceptance of the honorary
chairmanship of the celebration, described
eloquently the ideals that should move
the American people to respect our tra-
ditions and to make sacrifices for their
perpetuation. In his statement the Presi-
dent said:

This country is thoroughly committed to the
principle of civil and religious liberty. Instead
of deploring the variety of racial strains and
spiritual traditions which are an inherent part
of our people, we welcome them as a token
of the freedom that we enjoy and believe that
the common life is enriched by what each of
these groups contributes.
In this nation we proclaim the equal rights
of all religious groups whether of the majority
or of minorities, and find our unity in a com-
mon citizenship. Freedom of speech, of the
press and of assembly are guaranteed to all by
the Bill of Rights.
This American doctrine is challenged or
denied in other parts of the world today. It
is my earnest hope that divided opinions re-
garding situations in other lands than ours
will not create cleavage between religious
groups in our own nation. Philosophies domi-
nant in totalitarian states must not be allow-
ed to disrupt the cordial relationships which
now exist among Protestants, Catholics and
Jews in America.
We believe in democracy, a happy combina-
tion of freedom and responsibility. Our
fathers fought for it and left it to us as our'
heritage. We are determined to maintain it
and to demonstrate in America the possibility
of a community in which men of diverse racial
origins and religious convictions can live to-
gether in mutual respect, friendship and co-
operation in all those matters that make for
human happiness and national well-being.
The perpetuation of these democratic prin-
ciples demand, as they deserve, our devotion
and sacrifice. We must not hold them too
cheaply at a time when they seem to be
receding in some quarters where they were
once valued. Rather they must be intelligent-
ly fostered and bravely advanced.
I welcome the effort of the National Con-
ference of Jews and Christians to increase in
local communities the number of its Round
Tables of leading citizens of all faiths who by
mutual consultation and planning may deal
with occasions of distrust or misunderstand.
ing and pave the way to co-operation.

Based on the views incorporated in this
statement, it should not be very difficult
for Americans—Jews and Christians alike
—to learn what has been termed "the
difficult art of living together." That
which has been termed "The American
Way," the ideal method of co-operation
in spite of differences, has survived the
test of time and ought to be continued in
spite of the inroads of foreign ideologies
on American soil. The Most Reverend
William J. Haley, Coadjutor Bishop of
Scranton, Apostolic Administrator, recent-
ly made an important statement to the
New York assembly of the Catholic Daugh-
ters of America in which a splendid plea
was sounded for good will. He expressed
the conviction that "many differences will
disappear when we face one another and
realize that each is deserving of respect
for the convictions he holds. lie then
added: "Round about you are thousands
of persons who are not members of our
church and who perhaps were victims
linked with secret societies. For God's
sake let us forget it and remember that
they, too, have souls. The day has come
when we Catholics have got to change our
tactics. We will only get results when we
sit down with these people around a table,
realize that they are our brothers and sis-
ters and treat them as human beings."
Protestants and Jews will also have to
change their tactics. For the sake of de-
mocracy and better human relations, every
group will have to learn how to live peace-
fully with its neighbors. The only other
alternative is the substitution of European
methods of dictatorial rule and suppres-
sion of freedom. To prevent the spread
of totalitarian rule, the united efforts of
the American people must be exerted to
guarantee the safety of the American
ideals and the rule of The American Way.
"Make America Safe for Differences"
should become the motto of every clear-
thinking American citizen.

Tolmich's Successor

WASHINGTON PROGRESSIVE REUNION
AT NORTHWOOD INN TUESDAY EVE.

An annual event that has as-
sumed an important social status
in the community will be held
Tuesday evening, Feb. 22. at
Northwood Inn, when the Wash-
ington Progressive Club's former
members meet for their annual
reunion.
The club, originally organized
by Fred Al. Butzel in 1915, func-
tioned for six years. Since that
time the members have convened
once a year, on Washington's
Birthday, to resume old friend-
ships and to reminisce about for-
mer activities.
Every year a c hair man is

chosen to serve until the follow-
ing year's function. The chair-
man this year is Alex Schreiber,
whose office, 1332 Dime Bank
Bldg., Cherry 1520, is taking res-
ervations for Tuesday's dinner-
meeting.
Men in all walks of life, many
of whom are today among the
outstanding leaders in the commu-
nity, are among the alumni of the
Washington Pr o g r e a sive Club.
Some of the former members to-
day occupy important positions in
other cities, but all retain an in-
terest in the group.

Hadassah Will Purchase

Large Galilee Tract

NEW YORK. — Hadassah,
the Women's Zionist Organ-
ization of America, and Junior
Iladassah will purchase 20,000
dunams (5,000) acres of land
in Upper Galilee, Palestine,
for the Jewish National Fund,
land-holding agency in Pales-
tine, it was announced in a
statement signed by Dr. Israel
Goldstein. president of the Jew-
ish National Fund; Mrs. Moses
P. Epstein, president of Hadas-
sah, and Miss Nell Ziff, presi-
dent of Junior Hadassah.
Airs. Herman Shulman,
chairman of the Jewish Na-
tional Fund Bureau of Ile-
dassah, said that the senior and
junior divisions of Hadassah
will ask their 500 chapters
throughout the country to
raise $500,000 for the purchase
of the Galilee area, which is a
portion of a 27,000-acre tract
in Northern Palestine, border-
ing the Syrian frontier, that
the Jewish National Fund
hopes in time to acquire. To
the south the plot is adiacent
to the Mulch area, a Jewish
concession of 15.000 acres, of
which 3,750 will be turned over
to the Arabs after the soil is
drained and developed.

"Fun" at Expense of Education

Dr. Ilenry J. Berkowitz, rabbi of Beth Israel
Congregation of Portland, Ore., formerly of De-
troit, wrote an article for a recent issue of "Topics
& Trends," published by the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods, in which he describes how
he taught a class of adults and conducted a quiz
on Jewish subjects. He describes how he created
a test "that would arouse intense differences of
opinion," knd states that his audience continued
to grow in numbers. Speaking of the quiz at the
third meeting he writes:

The third meeting was considerable fun, because 1
had divan up a bet of questions containing a few "gage"

mission, and after Si,,. wooer, acre Meekest and Me
Millers graded by each contestant, there wag lime her
discussion of only about half of tr topic..

In order to understand the significance of this
meeting, the program that Rabbi Berkowitz pre-
pared for the third meeting must be read, and
we therefore offer it to our readers no that they
may join in the "fun":

d. The personal diary of Alfred Detlfuss of Mince—

So this is education! No wonder that there was
time for the discussion of only half the sujects
on the Hall After all, people who gather for fun
should not be expected to devote an entire meet-
ing to a discussion of the Auto-do-fe! And why
should a group of ladies who are treated to "gags"
be expected to devote too much time to such a
monstrosity as Bialik, or Sassoon, or de Sole Pool?
There is something radically wrong with a Jew-
ish system of spirituality that condescends to the
type of banality. described by Rabbi Berkowitz.
There is no doubt that he was motivated by the
best intentions to instruct his good ladies in im-
portant subjects. But why should it become neces-
sary for a man whom we considered a very able
rabbi to prepare a program that makes for "fun"
and therefore must minimize the creative element?
Must we stoop to banality in Jewish education—
especially when adults seek knowledge? It is time
that a halt were called to such methods of seeking
fun under the guise of adult education.
