Chief Justice Hughes and Governor
Lehman have earned the gratitude of the
American people for their plain-spoken
statements. They are rendering great serv-
ice to the cause of democracy by being
alert to national dangers once the cause of
liberty is abridged. History will know how
to evaluate these timely declarations
which serve to strengthen the foundations
of liberty and freedom as the terms were
conceived by the founders of this Republic.

A Haven fo- r Refugees
Hundreds of thousands of people have
been made homeless by the Nazi terror.
Christians and Jews alike are among the
sufferers from the frightful specter that
is threatening the security of Central
Eutope. In addition, there are the Fascist
and Communist threats to the security of
people who are compelled to search for
new homes because they have been de-
prived of their political freedom and of
the right to express their views on social,
religious and economic matters.
While Secretary of State Hull's pro-
posal for the convening of an international
meeting for the discussion of the problem
of the refugees is intended to help all reli-
gious and racial groups, the Jews remain
the chief sufferers. It is estimated that
at least 5,000,000 Jews are in need of new
homes, and the problems facing our peo-
ple thus remains the most staggering.
Adding to the seriousness of the situation
is the suspicion with which strangers are
being looked upon everywhere and the
hesitancy that marks any display of hos-
pitality by the nations of the world. Oppo-
sition to Secretary Hull's proposal in Con-
gress, the cry that has been raised against
the opening up of the doors of this and
other countries to new immigration and
the animosity displayed to refugees by
partisans are indications of hardships that
will face our Government's humanitarian
plan.
Letters flooding our daily newspapers
and anonymous letters that are reaching
us—some signed fictitiously to indicate
that they were written by Jews—are de-
signed to condemn a return to humanita-
rian principles and again to make this
country a haven of refuge for the op-
pressed. The view generally held is that
newcomers will either take jobs away
from those holding them now or will serve
further to increase the relief load on our
States and Federal Government. There is
no consideration given to the buying
power that is created by an increase in
the population, or to the creative genius
that will be added to our population by
these newcomers.
Under the circumstances, it is too much
to expect that anything approaching
even a partial solution to the problem of
Jewish homelessness will be proposed by
the conference stimulated by our Govern -
ment's appeal to the humanitarian in-
stincts of 33 nations. It is reasonable to
believe that Palestine will continue to be
the major center of Jewish immigration
because it is the one land which is appro-
priate for settlement of Jews who desire
to live a Jewish life and is the only coun-
try whose progressive inhabitants clamor
for new immigrants and desire to see their
population increase. If the international
conference should succeed in influencing
Great Britain to open the doors to Pales-
tine wide for the settlement of large num-
bers of Jews then Secretary Hull's plan
will in this regard alone prove a great
boon for Jewry. For practical reasons it
would be advisable that emphasis, from
the point of view of Jewish needs, be
placed on such a program for the humani-
tarian gathering which our great Republic
has seen fit to call into being.
The Palestinian Haven
At a time when every country in the
world welcomes only a handful of Jews—
in some instances numbering not more than
20 or 30 at one time — Palestine contin-
ues to absorb the major portion of ex-
patriates and of children of refugees. The
small colony of Meier Shfeyah alone re-
ceived 30 children recently from eight
countries. The new contingent replaces an
equal number of graduates from this
home-school-colony which continues to
have a resident population of 115. Young
and old continue to work to the end that
Palestine remain a haven of refuge for
our people.
Safeguarding Democracy
Two important acts of the past week
served as demonstrations of the strength
of American democratic idealism. The
first came when Chief Justice. Hughes
wrote the Supreme Court Opinion !mull -
ing an ordinance adopted by a small
Georgia community requiring a license
for the distribution of circulars. Mr. Chief
Justice Hughes ruled that in the history of
liberty the "historic weapons" have been
the leaflet and the pamphlet. The second
display of true American democracy is to
be found in Governor Lehman's veto of
the McNaboe bill which would have
barred Communists and other radicals
from the civil service and the teaching
staffs of New York schools. Governor Leh-
man stated that he vetoed this bill "in the
interest of safeguarding American democ-
racy." and pointed out that this measure
would "abridge freedom of speech, free-
dom of thought, freedom of the press and
frmsdom of assembly." He continued:
"Were we of this liberal State to approve
this bill today, we might readily find to-
morrow that we had opened flood gates

The travail of the world seems for the moment
to have subsided. This is to say, Hitler is quiescent
while he digests Austria, and the doom of civiliza-
tion has been put off to another day. The pain of
the Jews of Austria which was so acute for a week
has become chronic; those who took suicide have
been buried. Franco has been reminded of his
Christian upbringing and (at this writing) hasn't
murdered even one child on the streets of Barce-
lona since four days ago.
So one who ie obliged to live in this world may
take a breathing spell, perhaps until tomorrow.
I may turn now to look at my tree in Palestine.
Thank goodness, trees, at least, still are the same
in a horribly changing world: the ancient tree on
my lawn is giving out buds as in all the spring-
times before; as if to give notice that anyhow the
ways of God (this loving-kindness, this wisdom,
this mercy) are everlasting. This is a bit of com-
fort.
I never had a tree in Palestine until the ether
week. Palestine was very far away, like my youth
and like stars and moon and other poetry; but
now I have this tree. I wrote a Purim play for the
local Hadassah and for that they rewarded me far
beyond the mediocre merit of the play: They gave
me this tree.
Though I have just acquired it I know this tree
from a long time ago. It is the seed of a tree I
planted when time was still rather young. I re-
member the occasion which was more than 2,000
years ago; I was a youth in Palestine.
I thought how much better it was to be a Roman
than a Jew. Romans were privileged people, they
had swords and were strong, and the earth heaved
when their battalions marched by; such was the
might of their feet. I had felt their feet one day.
They were marching by my field and one of my
sheep ran in their way and I ran after it in front
of the battalion. Then the captain struck me with
the flat of his sword . . . "The Jews are always
in the way," he said . . . I fell under their feet
and they walked on me.
It seemed as if their feet were a million, for
there seemed no end of them.
Now as I was planting the tree in my field
(this is to say the old, old tree which was the
ancestor of the new tree which I have just ac-
quired) I remembered all this.
But I planted the tree.
• • •
I expect some day to go to my tree which
Hadassah has given me in Palestine. I shall go to
a grove where I will not know one tree from the
other, but I shall choose one that is tall and beauti-
ful . . . "This must be my tree" . . . and I shall
sit under it.
I shall doze and dream under my tree in the
sunlight. The dream shall tell me of things to
come: I am a very brave man (in this dream)
and I have come to the chancellory.
Mr. Hitler, I say, I remember the time the
million feet of the Romans trampled my body and
I said then, These feet are like the rocks which
last forever. Yet their steps (which used to be
like thunder) are only faint echoes I catch in the
wind. I hear them now . . . faint echoes in the
wind. Do you not hear them, Mr. Hitler?
Only I am left from that time . . . only I and
my tree. We have lived. We have inherited the
earth, Mr. Hitler; we were of the meek, my tree
and I; but arrogance is in the dust which the boy
kicks up as he walks.
Mr. Hitler gives a command: "Shoot the crazy
Jews."
"You can't kill me, Mr. Hitler. I shall be with
my tree even in a thousand years. The tree and
I that are meek and know only the authority of
God."
• • •
'1 should make a speech to Hadassah thanking
theni for my tree in this moment of comparative
peace in the world. The agony of the Austrian
Jews has subsided to soft sobbing; the Nazis have
washed their hands and no longer can see on them
the blood of the suicides. Peace! Peace!
So now I may make a speech of gratitude for
my tree in Palestine:
Ladies of Hadassah: Thanks for my tree. It is
a wonderful tree. It whispers philosophy by which
a Jew may laugh even at Hitler. Through its
branches the winds blow carrying dust of all the
oppressors. Trees and we surviving the arrogance
of all the swords! But we must be humble and
ask ourselves: By what ways may we deserve to
keep on living? Certainly, we are not worth this
immortality just to be good real estate traders.
Seventeen Detroiters are attend-
ing the sessions of the annual con-
vention of Hashomer Hatzair now
in prOgress in the Jewish Center
In Cleveland. The convention
opened on Thursday and will con-
tinue through Sunday. The De-
troit delegates are:
Shalom Vineberg, Shoshanna
Moser, Simcha Alpert, Elchanan
Ross, Yehudah Solter, Nichanna
Tromska, Shulamit Fossaner, Ann-
gah Mackenzie, Murray Carmel!,
Leah Levitt, Belle Margolis, Arych
Raskin, David Nemoff, Gershon
Sigelman, Emmanuel Platkin, Sho-
shana Slobin, Iladdasah Yanich.
This convention marks the 25th
anniversary of the founding of
the Hashomer Hatzair movement
in Lemberg, Galicia, During 25
years of existence, the young Jews
enlisted in this movement were re-
sponsible for important contribu-
tions to the efforts for Palestine's
reconstruction, and many hun-
dreds of its members are Chalut-
zim in Palestine.
The annual concert of Detroit's
Hashomer Hatzair will be held on
May 22, at Northern High School.
All Detroit organizations are ask-
ed to reserve this date.
PURELY COMMENTARY
Pr PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
An Irishman Admonishes the Jews
Harry Newman, an Irishman, has written an
editorial in the April issue of The Judge, in which
he tells the Jews: "The time is come for you to
fight" It is a typically Irish sentiment, and in
typically Irish fashion the writer cries out against
persecution tend in favor of militancy in dealing
with the serious Jewish problem. It is typically
Irish also in the sense that it rejects watchful
waiting and undue patience and calls for imme-
diate action in dealing with the existing tragedies.
"You need some great figure to step from the
ranks of business, or the law, or finance, and lead
your legions in attack," writes our friend Harry
Newman. He even suggests names of men who
ought to quit their present jobs to undertake this
mission of leading our mighty legions: Justice
Brandeis, Governor Lehman, Bernard Baruch,
Henry Morgenthau. Ile goes a step further in ad-
vancing his argument by appealing to prominent
Jewish publishers: "You Sulzbergers, you Sterns,
you Blocks, you Annenbergs: roll your mighty
presses into the teeth of your petty attackers."
Then comes the powerful conclusion to his
powerful editorial: "Fight, Jtws! You don't need
armies and navies. You need only a fighting leader,
to mass behind him the great intelligence and
ability you already possess, to make a mass at-
tack. Fame beyond the power of man to measure
waits for such a Leader."
