January 27, 1939 Shvat 7, 5699 The Physicians' Statement The statement issued by the Jewish Physicians' Hospital Committee deserves to be studied for further understanding of the ambitions of those who are anxious to see a Jewish hospital built in Detroit. This statement is commendable not only for its clarity but more especially for the modesty of its claims and the readiness of the com- mittee to cooperate in community efforts that would lead to an understanding of issues and causes. The committee does not ask the impossible. It merely states that over a period of several years it should be possible to raise a`sum necessary for the building of a Jewish hospital; that, further, all available sums of money, in- cluding the amounts pledged to this cause by the Detroit physicians, should be pooled in one fund to be used eventually for the proposed hospital. If a Jewish hospital is needed in Detroit, and we believe that it is, then the recommendations of the Jew- ish Physicians Hospital Committee are fair and should be adopted. A Newspaper's Personality A newspaper, to have content that vibrates and gives life to its readers, must acquire "personality." A newspaper with- out such personality is like an empty shell. The golden period in American journal- ism was in the days of Horace Greeley, James Gordon Bennett, Charles A. Dana, Joseph Pulitzer and others who injected life in the columns of their newspapers and who fought battles based on prin- ciples. Right now we are experiencing a return to this type of personal journalism. The rise and popularity of the columnists is an indication of this new trend. The return to the Jewish Morning Jour- nal of Jacob Fishman, not as editor-in- chief but merely as columnist, is proof of the general trend of such development in modern journalism. Mr. Fishman has for years given tone to the Jewish Morning Journal. He is again giving it life that makes newspaper great. A newspaper must have "personality." It must fight for principles. It must `ap lighten and educate its readers. Only then does it become a vital and necessary force in the community. A "Present" for the "Fuehrer " In his most recent feature article, re- leased by Seven Arts Feature Syndicate, William Zuckerman relates the following incident: One day, sborrtly after the Black Thursday, the General Post Office of Vienna was in uproar, Important and less important officials were running to and fro; there was an air of mystery and consternation about the plate. For something unusual had happened; among the big parcels sent by post was discovered • huge packet addressed to "The Fuehrer and Chancellor, Herr Adolf Hitler." The parcel was crudely wrapped up; the handwriting was biz and almost childish. Surely there was something wrong about it. Was it • bomb, sent by some Jew who wished to avenge his own and his people's suffering on the Fueh- reel The matter had to be investigated. And so the packet was opened and in it Was found the dead little body of an infant of a few days old. tenderly wrapped in a white shawl to which there was pinned a let- ter in the same big childish handwriting. The letter was also addressed to The Fuehrer and Chancellor of Germany, Herr Adolf Hitler" and read as follows: "I, Elisabeth Snifter, Viennese, aged 12, am sending you herewith my firstborn infant which I have strangled with my own hands as a present to you for your treatment of myself and of my family. Signed Elisabeth Snifter." An investigation established that Elisabeth Sultzer and her husband were a Jewish couple who were uprooted and driven from their home soon ■ f ter the Anschluss when Nazi sadism against the Jew first raised its head. The couple tried to cross the frontier into Switzerland. The husband was shot be- fore his wife' ■ e•es and the women was placed in • concentration camp. She was preg- nant and the shock of her husband's murder and the brutalities in the concentration camp deranged her mind; she was constantly brood- i•g over the fate which had befallen her little family and over the future of her child. When it came. she strangled it with her own hands and sent it as a "present" to the "Fuehrer." Poor Elisabeth! Her "present" never reached the "Fuehrer"; she is still brooding in a padded cell of an asylum for the insane. And those who have committed this and thou- sands of other similar crimes are great men. high i n power, whose friendship is sought and upon who.. appeasement depends the peace of Europe and of the world. There is reason to believe that this is not an isolated instance of outraged feel- ing on the part of a German. Reports reaching this country during the past weeks indicate that there is a spirit of dissatisfaction bordering on rebellion. Un- fortunately it is not an organized move- ment. It is feeling that is still suppressed for fear of consequences that come with Nazi revenge. It is a leaderless effort. Because it has no leader and because fear is still the dominant note in Germany, it is possible that rebellion is an impossi- bility for many years to come. But the seed is there for an uprising. Therefore all hope for the retention of a spirit of decency in Germany must not be aban- doned. From Erika Mann's very significant and The great Italian man of letters and states- man, Count Carlo Sform, tells this story in a Swiss newspaper: "A cousin of mine spent last summer at ■ castle near Wurttemberg, and since she is a member of the nobility and was a guest, she was above suspicion; she was able to visit the schools that interested her. This is what she saw: During the morning recess, all the children lined up at the door of the canteen for • cup of milk and a piece of bread. Whenever a little Jewish girl reached her turn. the teacher in charge held up the cup. and cried: 'Run •long, Jewess! Next, pleaser And this was repeated daily. The little Jewish children were never spared the neces• lily of standing in line and reaching for the cup they were given. The Christian children had to witness this scene daily, to learn how to treat a hungry Jewish child." The mark of this treatment on the lives of the Jewish children is frightful, of course; but the results are terrible also for the "Ger- m•n," the "Aryan" children—for while the Jews are only tortured, they are corrupted, deeply corrupted. Some of the strongest of the "non-Ary•ns" may come through, and leave childhood with toughened nerves. But the "Aryans" are in peril, for their sense of justice and humanity is being stolen front them. And unless they meet other influences, they will lose all sense of truth—the sense which balances us and allows us to walk through the world. This is, indeed, the problem: the cor- ruption of the minds of the Germans must be prevented, if that is at all possible. A volume like Erika Mann's touching "School for Barbarians" helps to bring the facts relative to the poisoning of the minds of the children in Germany to the English-speaking peoples—and this vol- ume should be distributed in the hundreds of thousands of copies as a powerful weapon against Nazism. Insofar as Ger- many is concerned, all hope is not lost as long as so-called "Aryans" still display a sense of justice by placing food on the doorsteps of their Jewish neighbors dur- ing the darkness of night, by showing their sympathy by means of other ges- tures, by their refusal to applaud when they see burning synagogues. Of course, the poisoning of the minds of the children is proof of the totally discouraging state of affairs in Germany. For the sake of the children, it is to be hoped that Nazism is nearing its end. For the sake of all children everywhere, everything possible should be done to help in the destruction of the Nazi menace in Germany and to prevent its spread anywhere else.

HINDUS TO SPEAK AT TEMPLE FEB. 1 (CONCLUDED FROM PAGE (WE) isolated democracy a definitely planned part of Germany's march to the east . .. and the rich wheat fields of the Russion Ukraine? Probably no man in America is better able to discuss and answer these questions than Maurice Hindus who, since 1923, has made annual visits to Russia and Central Europe. Mr. Hindus was born in a Rus- sian village in 1891. At the age of 14, his family migrated to America. After attending Stuyve- sant High School in New York for two years, he went to work on a farm, planning to become a farmer. Ile applied for admis- sion to the State Agricultural Col- lege at Cornell University, but was refused for lack of sufficient credits. He then sought and gained admission to Colgate Uni- versity, from which he graduated with high honors. Hindus then entered the Graduate School at Harvard. There, in 1920, he wrote his first book, "The Russian Peas- ant and the Revolution." This was followed in 1926 by "Broken Earth," another book dealing with the Russian peasant. In 1931 he wrote "Red Bread" in 1933 "The Great Offensive," in 1936 "Moscow Skies," and last year "Green Worlds." His author. itative picture of the Czechoslo- vakian situation is now in the hands of his publishers. Mr. Hindus' lecture will be open to the public, and tickets may be purchased at 50c each at Grin- nell's, Belcrest Hotel, Collins' Cigar Store in the General Motors Building, the Jewish Community Center and Temple Beth El. Mr. Hindus will be introduced by Frank Cody, superintendent of Schools. Arrangements for this lecture, which will start at 8:30 P. 51., are under the direction of Harry Markle, who will preside. He is being assisted by Ephraim R. Gomberg and Gabriel N. Alex- ander. PURELY COMMENTARY By (CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE) PHILIP SLOMOVITZ Criterion for Timidity The best story of the month was related at the National Conference on Palestine held in Wash- ington two weeks ago. Dr. Solomon Goldman, president of the Zionist Organization of America, related that he was told by a member of President Roosevelt's Cabinet that the Capitol was flooded with appeals from Jews against the appointment of Prof. Felix Frankfurter to the United States Supreme Court. Among those who were thrown into a state of panic lest such an appointment should lead to an increase in anti-Semitism wax a prominent Chicago Jew. When his message ar- rived in Washington this member of the Cabinet wrote him a brief note: "Dear , You really haven't money enough to be timid." • This Business of Getting Scared Perhaps we get scared too easily. The Jews who were prepared to sacrifice a cardinal right as citi- zens when they pleaded against the appointment of Felix Frankfurter are the most pathetic ex, amples of panic-driven people. In an address under the title The Challenge to the Christian Con- science," delivered at the National Conference on Palestine, Robert II. Jackson, Solicitor General of the United States, made interesting comment on this state of fright in America. Mr. Jackson said: for this hate-spreading gentleman of the cloth ouch propaganda is the best anti-Semitic seed. Perhaps there is some hope of reasoning with such men that the Bill of Rights does not guarantee equal rights to Christians alone; that this sacred document which guarantees the right of freedom of worship to Catholics and to Protestants also provides in its very first article that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . " But the Royal Oak rabble-rouser not only assumes the right to inject religious hatred in his discussions but also to label this land with a par- tisan religious connotation the acceptance of which would mean the nullification of the first sacred principle of the Bill of Rights and the disfranchise- ment of those who are not members of the Chris- tian church. Only an enemy of Americanism can so abuse the laws of this land. Only a hypocrite can speak as he does in the name of Americanism. • The Self-Hating Jews Unfortunately, the rabble-rousers know how to appeal to the baser instincts of their followers and even go to Jewish sources for defense of their position. The self-hating Jew thus becomes a tool in the hands of the anti-Semite. Father Coughlin's Jan. 16 issue of Social Justice reprints an excerpt from Maurice M. Feuerlicht's Racial persecutions are invariably the prod- article in the September, 1937, issue of Forum uct of fear. In Europe, fear often rules both Magazine.

To the Jewish people this world of hope and opportunity and good will must seem for- ever to have passed away. If they but keep their spiritual integrity, there will yet be help. As Kippling put it: "Our world has passed away In wantonness o'erthrown. There is nothing left today But steel and fire and stone! "Though all we knew depart, The old Commandments stand:— 'In courage keep your heart, In strength lift up your hand.'' If we but keep our spiritual integrity! If we but refuse to be timid and hold firm to our natural rights! The non-Jews are in position to be more objec- tive and at times see the problem more clearly than we do. We can afford to take their advice. • Worse Than Anti-Semitism Social Justice rejoices that its newest "author- ity" can not be classified as an anti-Semite, since he is the son of a rabbi. But the point is that he is much worse than an anti-Semite. One who hates himself is possessed of a much sicker mind. When Feuerlicht was first answered for his self- degrading article by Ludwig Lewisohn, the eminent Jewish critic and publicist admonished Jews to "laugh without weeping." "One laughs at a gentle- man named Feuerlicht," he stated ... "Feuerlicht is harmless today in America. He is merely gro- tesque in a free country. In countries not free he becomes a terrific menace. Because his technique is always the same: to attempt to save his skin by imputing to his fellow-Jews vices which he does not possess and thus to differentiate himself from them." Coughlin does not quote from the answer to Feuerlicht in the December. 1937, Forum Ma- gazine, written by Dr. Louis I. Newman. In a masterful presentation of the Jewish case, Rabbi Newman said: "Jews 'fail' in Feuerlicht who mal- prizes and maligns himself and his people, who 'be- fouls his own nest'." This is the only type of "au- thority" that the Social Justice editor is apparently capable of selecting: one who befouls his own nest. If it were otherwise, he would not ignore the an- swer to the self-hating Jewish young man and would not keep his readers in ignorance about the other side of the question. It is futile to argue with the maligners of our people; but it is painful to know that self-hate has found root in some Jewish hearts. It would be easy to take Ludwig Lewisohn's advice, "Let us laugh without weeping," if it were not for the fact that a Jew's self-degradation has become a weapon in the hands of an anti-Semite in a free country. Which all goes to prove the need for eternal vigilance and rejection of timidity.

Fraternal Organization Purchases Palestine Land NEW YORK (WNS) — The Independent Order of Brith Abra- ham, largest Jewish fraternity in the world, has purchased a 1,500 acre tract in Palestine which will be offered as a haven to refugees from political persecution in Eu- rope, according to Samuel Gold- stein, assistant District Attorney and grand master of the order. The land, in Emek Huleh Colony, will be divided to accommodate about 2,500 families or emigrees, and will be opened to settlers as soon as the order concludes ar- rangements with the Intergovern- mental Commission on Refugees. The land was bought for $25,000 of which $15,000 has already been paid. Briscoe to Ask Roosevelt Aid in Palestine Settlement NEW YORK (WNS)—Robert Briscoe, only Jewish deputy of the Dail Eireann and a leader of the New Zionist Organization. left for Washington where he hopes to see President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull for support of his plan to transfer one million Jews to Palestine in two years. In an interview before leaving for Wash- ington, Mr. Briscoe admitted that although the transfer of 1,000,- 000 Jews could be accomplished in two years, "their settlement is an- other question."
