Clemens, Mich. writer was in Mexico in October of 1936, he attended • meeting Jews born in Mexico, and in some families a third generation. One can imagine the conflicts which followed the influx of the Polish, Rumanian and Russian Jews about 15 years ago. In some individual cases help to them was extended by the settled, established Jews already men- tioned, but in large part that was not the case, and the new immigrants found it necessary to found an altogether new com- munity. They did not go to the meeting-places, social affairs and synagogue of the Near Eastern groups, who themselves were di- vided as Arabian Jews and Turk- ish Jews. New places and out- lets for worship, education, rec- reation, social and business ac- tivities had to be established. And in the short apace of 15 years much progress has been made. The Anti•Immigrant Crusade The Jewish immigrant of East- ern Europe tried to continue his trade or business in his new sur- roundings. There were of course many obstacles inherent in a new world. New tailor shops, and small factories for making leather goods, waists, dresses, sweaters, and other textiles and products, were begun, with many ensuing failures due to lack of familiarity with the business and social customs of the native peo- ple. That period of immigration saw the establishment of a Yid- dish theater and Yiddish news- papers, a new Zionist, organiza- tion, new social groups for adults and the youth, schools for teach- COLLORD, Inc.

A world panic-stricken, feverislhy arming, tottering on the brink of a new cataclysm of unpredictable destructive force, has during the past year witnessed an unprecedented perveution of the Jewish people in many lands. Barbarism reborn has unleashed an unbelievable assault on the most elementary rights of human beings, and in this onslaught the Jews have been the principal target. If the brutal persecution of Jews in Europe has any meaning at all it is to be taken as a definite symptom that civilization is in grave danger of succumbing to the insanely sadistic ideologies that govern the undemocratic lands. Although Palestine, the Jewish National Homeland, also has become a victim of international machinations, we dare not despair. The chaos and terror which the Yishuv is so courageously resisting in Eretz Israel cannot long endure. It will be conquered by our unshaken faith in the justice and righteousness of our cause. The dawn must come. All of us pray fervently that the coming year may see the cessation of the artificially fomented unrest in Eretz Israel. Today more than ever the National Home in Palestine is not only a place of physical refuge for the innocent Jew- ish victims of Fascism. but the spiritual fountain in which Jews the world over can refresh their souls and renew that personality which the Hitler poison seeks to destroy. We dare not despair. RO SH HASHONAH GREETINGS As Rosh lloshonah, the Jewish New Year dawns, we extend to you all best wishes for success, prosper- ity and an abundance of happiness! Sanford D.
