Bnai Brith's New President
Henry Monsky, successor of Alfred M.
Cohen to the international presidency of
the Order of Bnai Brith, has been promi-
nent in the organization's activities for so
many years that it is impossible to speak
of Bnai Brith without having his name
linked with the movement. He became a
member of the national executive com-
mittee 18 years ago, at the age of 30, and
for years preached the message of Bnai
Brith to the Jews of America. lie is
known from coast to coast, has spoken to
Detroit audiences on several occasions, is
well liked among all who learn to know
him and he thrills his audiences with a
power of oratory that is the gift of but a
limited number of people.
As a campaigner for relief funds, as a
person who is known for his desire to unify
all Jewish elements in defense of Jewish
rights, as a practical idealist, Mr. Monsky
has been an asset to Bnai Brith and will
undoubtedly make even greater contribu-
tions to the movement as its president.
tant contests some of the ablest and most
conscientious sportmen.
It is clear that while there is a sincere
desire to divorce sports from politics and
from racial issues, both are at play to in-
terfere with true sportsmanship. Perhaps
American public opinion would be swayed
in another direction, as a means of curb-
ing totalitarian activities, if true condi-
tions were known.
As further proof of the manner in which
Nazis will claim immunity from boycotts
under the guise of separating sports from
politics while their sports organizations
become completely submerged in the Hit-
lerian scheme, we quote the following edi-
torial from the Sport Tageblatt of Vienna:
"Ilakoah, which has until now played in
the First League, has as a matter of course
ceased to belong to the Sport-Turnfront.
As more than half of the league games
have . been played, the results of the
matches of the Hakoah should in accord-
ance with the rules, be valid, and the
matches not yet played ought to be taken
into account with 3-0 for the opponents.
The delegates of the First League, how-
ever, decided at a meeting held yesterday
that to maintain the results already
achieved by Hakoah would not conform
with the dignity of the National Socialist
sportsmen. The First League will there-
fore demand that all League results of the
Hakoah should be annulled."
A writer in the Michigan Journalist,
University of Michigan student publication,
Miss Doris Daitz, saw through this type of
Fascist propaganda when she wrote on the
question of the 1940 Olympics as follows:
Write Your Congressman
Several matters of importance now be-
fore the United States Congress command
the attention of liberals in this country.
Representative Samuel Dickstein's efforts
to force an investigation of Nazi activities
deserve support. Congressman Martin
Dies' bill, just reported upon favorably by
the Senate Immigration Committee, pro-
vides for remedying hardships upon aliens
in this country. A bill just introduced by
Congressman Hamilton Fish calls upon the
U. S. Government and the intergovern-
mental conference in behalf of refugees
to take steps to lift limitations on Jewish
immigration to Palestine.
Congressmen Dickstein, Dies and Fish
should be encouraged in their efforts. Our
members of Congress should be communi-
cated with and urged to support the legis-
lation these three men are sponsoring.
Time is of the essence, since Congress will
adjourn before long, and it is important
therefore that our Congressmen be com-
municated with at once in behalf of these
measures.
And while you write—drop a note to
Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes com-
mending him for the stand he has taken
against exporting helium to the Nazis.
Persecution in Sports
Jr. Congregation
Special Services
Saturday, May 28
Junior Congregation of Shaarey
Zedek will conduct special serv-
ices in the main auditorium of
the synagogue on Saturday, May
28. This event will mark the con-
tinuation of the pre-consecration
service which was no successfully
inaugurated by the sponsors of
the Juniors last year and which
emphasizes the magnitude of
youth work in the congregation.
As a special feature of the Sab-
bath morning services the Juniors
will present a representative from
each of the preceeding Consecra-
tion Classes to the congregation
and they will deliver short talks
as part of the service. The fol-
lowing will participate:
Laya Fauman—Class of 1934.
Rosalind Arfa—Class of 1935.
Lucille Kavanau—Class of 1936.
Mildred Gerson—Class of 1937.
The cantor for these services
will be San Krohn and Jerome
Sonenklar and Harvey Weisberg
will act as Bal Kore.
At the services of the Junior
Congregation last Saturday Mari-
lyn Koffman delivered a resume
of the Sedra and Rosalyn Wool-
son gave a talk on the prophets.
This Saturday Muriel Singer will
review the portion from the
Sedra and Shirley Kimmel will
speak on the Ilaftorah.
China has formally protested to the Inter-
national Olympic Committee against the se-
lection of Japan as the location of the 1940
Olympic games. She has asked that the games
be held in some other country, or, if that be
not done, that the nations interested in inter-
national fair play shall announce their inten-
tion of boycotting the Tokyo meet.
The Olympic games have acquired in the
three decades of their existence a tradition of
good-sportsmanship. Their aim has been to
promote international friendship by an exhibi-
tion of fair play.
The 1936 German Olympic meet denied in
practice one of the main principles of the
games. It was political in character. An of-
ficial of the German Ministry of Propaganda,
Councilor Wilfred Bade, declared, "The state
will name the teams."
Germany discriminated, further, against
amateur athletes in the matter of creed, race,
and color. The United States Amateur Ath-
letic Union voted by only a small margin to
participate in the event.
Japan is now indirectly indicating her inten-
tion not even to be co-operative in furthering
international good-will. Japanese imperialist
aggression in China, her bombing of civilian
Chinese territories illustrate neither fair play
nor good-will. The recognized authoritarian
character of the Japanese government gives
little promise that good-sportsmanship will be
practiced in the 1940 Olympics.
Almost two years remain during which the
International Olympic Committee can select
as the location of the 1940 meet a country
which recognizes and will maintain the liberal
traditions 'of the Olympics. The sentiment of
the participating nations must manifest itself
soon if there is to be any hope that the Com-
mittee will transfer the games.
If sports were to be honestly divorced
from politics in totalitarian states there
would be no quarrel on that score with
Stalin or Hitler or Mussolini or Hirohito.
Furthermore, if sports were not under the
wing of Nazism in Germany, Jews would
be permitted to take their rightful places
in athletics. But politics dominates there.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that through
a campaign of enlightenment democratic
countries may realize that to hold im-
portant athletic festivals in countries ruled
by dictators means the suppression of the
most precious right of sportsmen: free par-
ticipation in healthy and competitive ath-
letic contests.

LIBERAL JUDAISM
Miss O. Lazarus, a brilliant English Jewess, has
written a most interesting explanation of Reform
Judaism—they call it Liberal Judaism in England.
This volume, under the title "Liberal Judaism and
Its Standpoint," has been published by the Mac-
millan Co. in London and is distributed in this
country by the Macmillan Co., 60 Fifth Ave., New

May 18. Joseph Ilaggai, former
President of the Jewish National

York ($2).
Miss Lazarus' is a fascinatingly penned exposi-
tion. She describes the differences between Ortho-
doxy and Reform, between Judaism and Christian-
its, , the teachings of the Prophets with relation
to Liberal Judaism, the events which gave rise to
the Synagogue and the symbols of the house of
worship, the Jewish festivals and their observance
and numerous other subjects that are of interest
to the Jewish reader. Of particular interest is
the part in the book devoted to a description of
well known prayers, and the appendix that de-
scribes the meaning of confirmation.
Even those who differ with this brand of Juda-
ism will admire Miss Lazarus' style and the fairness
with which she covers her subject. In the fore-
word to the volume Dr. Claude G. Montefiore states
correctly that "what makes Miss Lazarus' book so
striking, so valuable and so individual is the frank
acceptance of 'modern' and 'liberal' ideas in com-
bination with a deep and fervid piety and a pro-
found religious faith."
Biography of Isaac M. Wise
Renaissance Book Co., 126 Lexington Ave., New
York, has published a sensational volume, under
the title "Sinai to Cincinnati," by Dena Wilansky
(53), in which the views of the late Isaac M. Wise,
founder of Reform Judaism in America, founder
of Hebrew Union College and one of the most
interesting American Jewish personalities, is de-
scribed in unusual fashion. Having dug up the
writings of Dr. Wise, from the files of the Ameri-
can Israelite and elsewhere, Miss Wilansky de-
scribes his views on orthodoxy, on Zionism, on
America and the English language as well as on
Germany, the German language and the land of his
birth which he castigated in no mistaken terms.
There are many things of interest in this volume.
There are some contradictions in Dr. Wise's views,
as the author points out. Also, his references to
Germany, made 50 years ago, are applicable today
in the light of the horrors suffered by Jewry under
Hitler.
While there will be disagreement with Miss Wil-
ansky's conclusions, it must be admitted that she
has made a definite contribution to the study of
Reform Judaism with this splendid collection from
Dr. Wise's writings. It is a book worth reading
for an understanding of the views of the early
founders of Reform Judaism as well as its trans-
formations during the past half-century.
Jews' Part in Making of U. S.
Elms Ehrlich Levinger, who already has to her
credit several books of short stories dealing with
the life of Jews throughout the world, and many
stories relating the part of the Jews in the making
of America, is the author of "More Stories of the
New Land," just published by Bloch. This volume,
dedicated "to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, loyal Amer-
ican and stalwart Jew," deals with a number of
true incidents from the lives of early American
Jews, as well as some imaginary stories.
There is a story about the famous Judah Toure,
and an interesting tale about Alordecai Manuel
Noah. One of the imaginary stories tells how a
little Jewish girl served George Washington. There
is a story of Columbus at the court of Ferdinand
and Isabella and another about a Jewish burgher
who defied the governor of New Amsterdam.
Emma Lazarus is the heroine of one of the
stories. Simon Wolf tells one of the yarns about
Abraham Lincoln. There are stories of the
Civil War as well as other important incidents in
the life of this country.
Volumes like "More Stories of the New Land"
add greatly to the enhancement of the study of
American history and serve to show that the Jews
had an important share in the moulding of this
republic. Mrs. Levinger has written a splendid col-
lection of stories for young and old alike.

A Blow to Terroritorialists
A severe blow to Jewish territorialists came re-
cently from an unexpected source. Even those
optimists who refuse to be discouraged by con-
stant failure to find an outlet for Jewish migrants
in search for homes will no doubt be upset. Prac-
tically every new colonization project proposed in
the past few years met with failure. Every one
of them might have succeeded if given a chance,
but this opportunity was lacking. Even in re-
motest corners of the earth, natives whose minds
have been poisoned by Nazi propaganda that pene-
trated their ranks have raised objections to pre-
vent the settlement of Jews. But to lend an even
greater blow to Jewish aspirations, an analogy
niay be drawn from the following brief article
which appeared in a recent issue of the New
York Times under the heading "Unwanted by
World":

The erroneous assumption that "the Jews have
found a homeland in their original habitat" is the
least disparaging element in this story. The
point that serves to discourage and disappoint
students of immigration possibilities for Jews is
that if it is so difficult to find a home for 30,000
Assyrians, what hope is there for millions of Jews
who must leave lands of oppression? it is for-
tunate that a handful can be absorbed annually in
Palestine; it is unfortunate for the remaining mil-
lions that a cruel world is ruled by bigotry and
not by a sense of decency.

Dorothy Thompson on the Refugees
Dorothy Thompson, who with Anne O'llare Mc-
Cormick of the New York Times is recognized as
forming the pair of ablest women newspaper col-
umnists, has promised Random House, Inc., that
within four weeks she will deliver the finished
manuscript or a book dealing with the serious and
pressing problem of the world's refugees and what
is to be done about them. This will be her first
book to be published in many years. The introduc-
tion to the volume is to be written by Dr. Hamilton
Fish Armstrong, eminent editor of Foreign Affairs
and author of "We Or They." We shall look for-
ward with a great deal of interest to this volume.
What Dorothy Thompson has to say on the subject
of refugees should make good copy for the re-
viewers and should draw the attention of the
world's powers to her proposed solutien to the
problem.
