The World Zionist Congress
World Jewry's eyes are focused on
Geneva, Switzerland, where spokesmen
for Jewish communities in every portion
of the globe—with the exception of the
dictatorial lands of Germany and Russia
—are gathering to deliberate on the seri-
ous need of the speedy upbuilding of
Eretz Israel as the Jewish National Home.
Progress bordering on the miraculous
has been wrought in Palestine by the
Jewish pioneers. But with every progres-
sive act came interference. Instead of fa-
cilitating the establishment of the Jewish
National Home, Great Britain has placed
obstacles in the path of Jewish creative-
ness. Instead of making it possible for
Jews to settle on the soil of Zion and to
make it, fruitful again, Great Britain has
set up barriers, has sent warships against
old boats carrying refugees who are es-
caping from the dangers of Dachau, The
British are making it difficult for Jews to
buy land—a simple right in any democ-
- racy, except, apparently, where the Union
Jack flies. They are setting up laws which
transform the simplest human rights into
crimes, and a helpless people is at the
mercy of British destroyers.
Under these circumstances, our spokes-
men gather in Geneva to plan anew for
a Jewish Homeland, to carry on in spite
of obstacles, to build against all odds,
to defy the inhumanity of man, especially
when it is spoken of in the saintly voice
of a betraying Colonial Minister of the
world's mightiest empire.
The World Zionist Congress meets this
year in biennial sessions with the good
• wishes of all Jews. Palestine is today the
only spot on the globe where Jews are
welcome, where the half-million Jewish
population has hung up welcome signs
and beckons to the unhappy migrants
from lands of oppression. All other prof-
erred hopes are proving chimerical. Only
in Palestine Is it possible for Jews to be-
come masters of their own destiny. There-
fore Jewish Palestine must be built
against all odds, in defiance of interfer-
ence, even if it is the interfering arm of
mighty England.
Out of Geneva, we are certain, will
come another clarion call to the Jewish
people to be confident, to be courageous,
to carry on the work for national redemp-
tion.
But Jews must be prepared for action.
More Jews must be brought into Pales-
tine. More land must be redeemed
through the Jewish National Fund. The
cultural and civic agencies of our people
must be strengthened. Because the Jew-
ish people lives in spite of a friendless
world, Jews must exert greater efforts
than ever before to convince friend and
foe alike that nothing can defeat the
national aspirations which have survived
the obstacles of generations and which
are now, at last, approaching realization.
Religious Front for Nazis
Underground sources continue to bring
reports of a feeling of discontent in Ger-
many against the Nazi regime. At the
same time that there is admission in offi-
cial Nazi circles that the boycott move-
ment has wrought havoc in the economic
structure of the Reich, we are also told
that there is a reaction against the perse-
. eutions and the 'laterite totalitarian
methods.
In the meantime, however, the Nazis
are using every possible means at their
disposal to blind the eyes of people in
democracies and to stifle public opinion.
Although it is generally known that Chris-
tianity as well as Judaism are being per-
secuted in Germany, there is a religious
front that defends Nazism.
For instance, at the Baptist World Al-
liance convention held in Atlanta, Ga.,
the German delegation stoutly defended
the status of the Baptist churches in Ger-
many under Hitler and issued a statement
in which it declared: "We are convinced
that the German Fuehrer has full confi-
dence in the integrity of Baptists and
their loyalty to the present government.
With God Almighty still in control, and
with Adolf Hitler, who has led the Ger-
man people out of a desperate situation
into unity and strength, our fate is in
good hands."
Falling into this same category of
whitewashing Nazism in the eyes of world
opinion is the reliable information com-
ing from Paris that the Nazi Gestapo will
permit German and Austrian Zionists to
send more than 100 delegates to the World
Zionist Congress which will open in
Geneva, Switzerland, on Aug. 16, as a
means of stifling anti-Nazi speeches that
might otherwise be delivered at the ses-
sions. The Reich delegation will, under
this scheme, be held responsible for what-
ever is said at the Congress. The report
further states that the Zionist delegation
will be obliged to appear at the Congress
in a bloc and that it will be under the
constant surveillance of the Naz: secret
agents.
It is clear that the Nazis are utilizing
English-speaking Jewries remain per-
manently indebted to Abraham H. Fried-
land for the great cultural contributions
he made to children's as well as adult
literatures for the students of Hebrew,
and his death on Aug. 3 at the the age of
47 is an irreparable loss to our people.
Modestly, without too much ado, and
therefore known only to those who are
in .a position to judge practical contribu-
tions to Hebrew learning and pedagogy,
Mr. Friedland created a rich literature
for children which promises for all time
to be an indispensable part of textbook
material of Hebrew schools in all English-
speaking countries. In addition to that, he
created a bi-lingual library for adults
which made it as easy for the older per-
son to learn the language, just as his
"Pleasant Stories" made the language
more easily accessible to the children.
For several years a very sick man, Mr.
Friedland's physical suffering was mir-
rored in some of his sonnets which were
published in the Hebrew weekly "Ha-
doer". Two years ago he suspected ap-
proaching death. Bernard Isaacs, super-
intendent of the United Hebrew Schools
of Detroit, translated for us freely the
following poem Mr. Friedland wrote in
1937, under the title "Like the Awakening
of a Frightened Child":
He looked beseechingly, with childlike eyes,
Into the eyes of the doctor.
The doctor "heard" the mute cry of his eyes,
But he wrapped himself in silence.
He stretched his hand out to the doctor
begging for "alms" of comfort,
But his reply was barred by a code of ethics.
He then shut himself away from his torturer,
And with ■ heart filled with despair and
contempt
He bent his weak shoulder and walked his
way,
With his eyes directed to Eternity.
Now he is calm,
And ■ merciful sun is sending its rays from
the valley of death.
How good it is to escape from the world
Of hard and silent physicians,
From the stupidity of man, the deceit of
friends, the treachery of women.
At such • moment, he prays; "Welcome death,
Take me away from this turbulent valley."
But it happens that suddenly he darts with
• shudder like
A frightened child awakening from a night-
mare.

They allowed to boy to accept
the scholarship when he really
didn't need it, thus probably de-
priving a poor boy who did . . .
But get this irony: The Uzzells
are named as being friendly to
I Nazis, but the coin which helped
I to finance their son's education
came from the scholarship do-
nated by Joseph Pulitzer, Jewish
founder of the N. Y. World.

Perhaps the radio priest of Royal Oak would

Sounds like a replica of the Inquisition, does
it not?
Or perhaps Father Coughlin would be inter-
ested in a direct quotation from his Spanish idol.
On June 18, 1939, the "Diario Vasco," an official
paper, published the following item:

the university, the staff has been curtailed be-
cause the professors are "undesirables" and "two

Or take, as another example, the following
story from the London Daily Telegraph and Morn-
ing Post of June 19, reporting an interview with
an English girl who has lived in Perpignan, Spain,
for some time:

Britannia, Take Heed to Warning!
Blundering England has been held responsible
for most of the troubles that are being experi-
enced in Europe, and therefore also throughout
the world, today. The Chamberlain method has
brought no good to democracies. The Munich way
has been the destructive way.
But Great Britain may herself be the worst
sufferer as a result of her ministers' blunders.
The mighty British empire is threatened on
many fronts, but instead of being loyal to her
friends she has bertayed them. She has betrayed
Czechoslovakia. She has helped betray Austria. She
is betraying the Jews in the Mediterranean.
Now trouble brews for England in the Medi-
terranean. On the occasion of the anniversary
of the loss of "The Rock of Gibraltar" in 1704,
the Spanish press on Aug. 1 issued warning that
Spain wants the return of Gibraltar, the strong-
hold from which Great Britain has dominated the
western entrance to the Mediterranean for 235
years.

On numerous occasions there have been con-
flicts among the honorable Members of Congress
in which sectional hatreds cropped up. But the
City of New York is invariably being selected
for ridicule, for insults, for unwarranted abuse.
The inferences are obvious. Naturally, these
altercations do not produce the friendliest re-
sults. Congressman Robsion's remarks are the
best proof of it, and the pointed retort of Con-
gressman Celler indicate that New Yorkers are
not prepared to swallow every insult.
A great display of "tolerance" and "good will"
is always in evidence among our Nation's legis-
lators. The manner in which these are received
by the Nation at large is evidenced by the sigh
of relief that is heaved every time Congress takes
a recess.

A Most Dangerous Bill
Congressman Marcantonlo and others who be-
long to the small liberal group in the Hooke of
Representatives pointed out, in the course of the
debate on the Smith Anti-Alien Bill, that serious
dangers loom for all Americans in this type of
legislation. The New York Times editorially
analyzed this bill, under the telling title "Re-
stricting Civil Liberties," as follows:

Father Coughlin may also find
out—if he looks for the truth and
only for the truth—that even
these 587 were not all Christians,
that among them were also many
Jewish victims.
Even the counter revolution
against the communists was to
a great extent inaugurated, fi-
nanced, and manned by Jews, and
among the 130 fallen fighters
against the communist regime
there were 36 Jews, five times
the number of their proportion to
the population. The first counter-
revolutionary cabinet and military
staff counted Jews among their
numbers, who stood in the van-
guard of the movement. The re-
ward of the Jew for their Intense
participation in the liberation of
the country from the reds—was
the White Terror.
The raising of the number of
the victims of the commune from
587 to more than 20,000 by Father
Coughlin magnifies the guilt of
the Jews approximately 35 times.
Only the 35th part of the state-
ment of Father Coughlin is to a
certain extent true. I wonder

This may be "the Franco way" in dealing with

Paul Goebbels is evidently again becom-
ing very panicky over the world's reac-
tions to Nazism. The admission that Nazi-
land is near an economic collapse because
of the shortage of raw materials and the
effects of the boycott of Nazi-made goods,
and the report that there is an increasing
state of dissatisfaction among the German
people with the Ilitlerite regime, is appar-
ently upsetting the Propaganda genius.
His official organ, Der Angriff, has just
published an article accusing Jews of con-
ducting an "atrocity whispering cam-
paign" against Germany and hinting of
a new pogrom against the Jews in the
Reich is such a campaign is not stopped.
This is the way it always works with
Herr Goebbels. Ile gets himself into a
state of panic by the weakness of his
campaign, counteracts by blaming the
Jews for the world's opinion of his Nazi
tyrants, and then proceeds to threaten
Jews with pogroms. Unfortunately, he
often carries out his threat and actually
launches a well-organized cold pogrom.
But in the long run, such pogroms react
against Nazism and drives it nearer its
end.

Some time ago Mr. Friedland gave a
brief and interesting set of reasons why
the Hebrew language should be taught to
our children, and he concisely stated for
Jewry as follows:

New Wrapper Reduces
Wastage in Palestine
Citrus Fruit Industry
A new method of impreg-
nating wrappers for citrus
fruit has been developed by
Dr. Adalbert Farkas of the
department of physical chem-
istry at the Hebrew Univers-
ity, Jerusalem, which may
have a far-reaching effect on
methods of citrus fruit storage
and transport and which is
calculated to save the citrus
fruit industry of Palestine
over a million dollars annual-
ly on the 13 or 14 million
cases of oranges now export-
ed each year.
Diphenyl is the agent used
for impregnating the wrap-
pers. The experiments were
carried out by Dr. Farkas
during the 1938-39 citrus sea-
son and have proved that de-
cay in oranges during stor-
age and shipment can be
largely eliminated by the use
of the chemically treated
wrappers, the reduction in
wastage being from one-sixth
to one-tenth of that usually
experienced. Neither smell
nor taste of the fruit is im-
paired, and analyses have
proved that none of the chem-
ical penetrates beyond the
peel.

Parallels Population Rise
In determining the status of
Jewish physicians, no that they
may plan adjustment to problems
now facing the profession, the
Medical Committee on Research
gathered material on the number
of Jewish physicians, their dis-
tribution over the country, op-
portunities for settlement in
sn1all communities, admission of
Jews to medical schools and in-
terneships, and fields of speciali-
zation.
The increase in Jewish physi-
cians in 10 major cities (New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los
Angeles, Boston, Detroit, Cincin-
nati, St. Louis. San Francisco
and New Orleans,) since 1899,
the survey discloses, parallels
the increase in the Jewish popu-
lation in this country since that
year. "It is of significance to
note," the report adds, "that
Jewish physicians practicing in
New York City in 1936 gradu-
ated from 97 medical schools in
the United States, 8 in Canada
and 77 European medical schools.
The wide distribution has, in part
at least, apparently been caused
by the difficulties Jewish stu-
dents have experienced in gain-
ing admission to medical schools
in their own communities or
even in the United States as it
whole."
Restrictions in Schools
Taking cognizance of move-
ments "to check any growth in
the number of Jewish medical
students and Jewish physicians,"
the survey notes that medical
schools in this country have de-
creased from 162 in 1906 to 76
in 1931. "The result of restric-
tive admission policies," it con-
cludes, "has been at least a pro-
portionate decrease in the num-
ber of Jewish students accepted.
In many medical schools there
has been an unofficial, though
at the same time an effective,
limitation of Jewish students." A
"marked decline" is noted "in
the total number of Jewish stu-
dents admitted to medical schools
in the United States during the
past six years."
This significant decrease repre-
sents a decline of more than 30
per cent, it is claimed, in the
admission of Jewish medical stu-
dents in the years 1933 and
1938. At the some time the sur-
vey recognizes that "the decline
in the number of Jewish medical
students is principally a reflec-
tion of a general drop in unethical
school enrollment."
Good Neighbor Relations
The practice of Jewish doctors
outside the large cities, it iv
found, is commonly "among the
working classes, those of recent
foreign extraction and middle
class non-Jews." This fact indi-
cates to the committee that "the
relations of Jewish physicians
with their neighbors in smaller
communities is satisfactory."
As to the future of the Jets'
in medicine in the United State=,
the committee found two dif-
ferent emphases prevailing. One
group felt "that movements for
the extension of medical service
to the poorer classes and smaller
communities would be of great
assistance to the Jewish physi-
cians seeking to settle in small
towns." The other group favored
the limitation of the number of
Jewish medical students as "a
healthy trend," feeling that "any
larger proportion would create
friction and difficulty."
