Buick Begins Production on
1940 Models

FLINT, Mich. — Preparation
for production of 1940 models
has been completed at the Buick
plants at Flint and this division
of General Motors started its
assembly lines with the first shift
Monday morning, Aug. 21. Vol-
ume will be accelerated steadily
during the next few weeks until
capacity output is reached.
This was announced by liar-
low H. Curtice, president and
general manager, who said that
Buick is launched upon one of
the largest manufacturing pro-
grams in the experience of the
company backed by new lines
of ears expected greatly to in-
crease its market for the coming

The year 5699 passes on,
leaving few, if any, Jews to
mourn its passing. To a people
inured to suffering through cen-
turies of persecution, the year
just ending has added many new
chapters of anguish and distress.
The continued impoverishment
and decimation of whole Jewish
communities in Germany and
Austria, Czechoslovakia, Memel
and Danzig have multiplied im-
measurably the responsibilities
and burdens of the Jewish peo-
ple in the lands of freedom.
Moreover, the hatreds and ani-
mosities which begat the col-
lapse of European Jewry have
had not unintended effects upon
all of us, attacking our morale
and undetermining our own
sense of safety and security.
Nonetheless, some rays of hope
and light are breaking through
the gloom and despair. At long
last, the democratic peoples have
become aware of the threat to
all the cherished principles and
values of what we call civiliza-
tion. They have cried "Halt!" to
the forces of violence, hatred
and intolerance. There is com-
fort in the knowledge of ' the
aroused consciousness of free
peoples. There is comfort, too,
in the knowledge that our own
people have in substantial meas-
ure responded to the needs of
the hour. The unprecedented
achievement of the United Jewish
Appeal in Detroit and in other
Jewish communities of the United
States, the increasing acceptance
and consequent enhanced pres-
tige of the Jewish Community
Council of Detroit and similar
forms of communal organization
elsewhere, attest to the renewed
unity and vigor of organized
Jewish life. We can, accordingly,
look forward to even greater
service on the part of American
Jewry to Jews and Jewish need
everywhere.
Not the least of our sources
of strength and encouragement
is the disciplined heroism of the
Yishuv in Eretz Israel which has
given so splendid a demonstration
of determination to permit no
catistrophe to diminish nor im-
pede the reconstruction of the
Jewish homeland in Palestine as
a haven of refuge for homeless
and despoiled Jews and as a
sanctuary for the indomitable
Jewish spirit. From their hero-
ism, no less than from the mar-
tyr heroes of earlier generations,
we summon renewed faith in
the ultimate triumph of justice,
truth and righteousness.
American Jewry is thankful
that it still enjoys a large meas-
ure of freedom, liberty and op-
portunity and is grateful for the
occasion
renew its expressions
of loyalty and devotion to the
transcendent traditions of Amer-
ican Democracy. We are mind-
ful, too, of the many noble Chris-
tian spirits who, in the hour of
keenest hurt and disappointment,
have helped sustain us with their
words and deeds of encourage-
ment and understanding,
We have, in truth, much for
which to be thankful and on the
threshold of a new year let us, in
a spirit of reverence and humil-
ity, rededicate ourselves to the
many great unfinished tasks
ahead of us, hopefully and with
a full awareness of the historic
opportunity which is ours to help
refashion a better world for all
men of goodwill and a Jewish
life which shall again bring dis-
tinguished gifts of the spirit to
all peoples seeking truth, faith
and justice.
I am happy to avail myself of
the opportunity to extend to the
whole community my sincerest
wishes for a Happy New Year.

is itself on-Catholic. It feeds upon Anti-Semitism,
shows an alarming disposition to imitate the
methods and ideology of the German racists.
The chief manifestation of the movement," the
publication reveals, "is the organization known
as the 'Christian Front.' "
Following the same general line of anti-Semit-
ism, intolerance, violent talk, and sometimes
violent action, are the Christian Mobilizers, the
Christian Labor Front, the Committee for Chris-
tian Action and the Christian Vigilantes. All
these branches of the Christian Front or develop-
ments thereof are lees violent than the Christian
Mobilizers, who advocate action even more di-
rect and in accord with the spirit of Nazi
Germany.
"In the opinion of informed observers," the
paper says, "this movement, if allowed to go
unchallenged from Catholic sources, will create
pogroms, split the labor movement, endanger the
structure of American political democracy, and
bring the fires of persecution down upon the
Catholic Church in America. Already it has
caused street fighting and rioting, and aroused
the anger of the great Jewish population of
the East. It is the first mass manifestation of
intolerance, bigotry, violence and uncharity ever
to be promoted by Catholics in this land where
the record of the Church is thus far unblem-
ished."

"Protestant Digest" Unites Churchmen
Against Race Hate

The rising tide of Protestant protest, led by
the new monthly publication, the Protestant
Digest, against racial intolerance and the dis-
semination of Nazi-inspired propaganda, is being
watched with great Interest by Jewish leaders
throughout the country.

The militant attitude of the Protestant Digest
in striking telling blows at both Protestant and

sumftion of final assembly ef-
fects the immediate return to
work of more than 5,000 em-
ployes and re-employment by
mid-September of Buick's full
factory force of approximately
11,000. Re-employment will go
forward at the rate of 2,000
men a week until an assembly

The executive said that re- reached, he said.

"Oh, Mr. Hitler, why do you frighten the whole
world? You can be so nice if you want." That's
what Marion Daniels said she wanted to say
when she met Hitler, according to her own
story published in Look magazine.
Hitler saw Miss Daniels dance last January
in Munich and months later, when she was play-
ing Cannes, der Fuehrer's personal plane was
sent for her.

A Non-Jew Who
Passed for a Jew

Clay" is without doubt one of Miss
Jacob's best stories,
Miss Jacob's life has been full
of variety: she was born in the
cathedral town of Ripon, York-
shire; she was first a teacher in a
church school, then during the war
she worked in a munition factory,
later she played on the legitimate
state in London, was forced by ill-
ness to go to Italy and since her
restoration to health she has spent
most of the year in a little North
Italian village—Sirmione, on Lake
Garda—returning every spring to
England for a lecture tour.
Miss Jacob loves Italy; she is
not a Fascist, "but in common
fairness," she says, "I must admit
that II Duce has made the Italy of
1939 a cleaner, more honest, more
hardworking country than it was
16 years ago." She continues:
"Italian feeling for the two great
English speaking nations of the
world—England and America—is
still more than friendly. Here
there is a saying, 'The cause politi-
cal is one thing, the cause of
friendship another'." Miss Jacob
is a member of the British "Peace
Pledge Union"; she holds that
there is no such thing as War with
Honor.
She likes books, old furniture,
and opera (Puccini is her favor-
ite), She dislikes "woolen under-
wear, and such words as cozy, taste-
ful and suitable; also parsnips,
veals, and people who talk with-
out saying anying." She is proud
of her North country ancestry
and has never got rid of a North
country accent, hence the children
In Sirmione who have picked up
a few English words from her
speak them as children would do
in the Dales of Yorkshire. "Some
day, she says, some professor will
arrive in the village—say in an-
other hundred years—and write
learned articles to account for the
fact that the people in a remote
Italian village all pronounce 'love'
as 'Inv', and 'Darling' as if it were
spelt 'Pearling', while mothers
often address their babies as
'chucky' — pronounced Yorkshire
fashion."
Miss Jacob's mail is enormous,
and she never leaves a letter un-
answered. In one morning's mail
were letters from South Africa,
Australia, New Zealand, Malaya,
New York, London and the English
provinces-37 in all. She finds the
world a good place and "in the
main people are friendly and good
to know."

lain Clay"—in which a non-Jew
passes for a Jew.

Her earlier novels — "Barren
Metal," "Founder of the House,"
"Four Generations," "The Lenient
God," "The Loaded Stick," "Time
Piece," "Straws in Amber"—pub-
ished by Macmillan, Jews figure
prominently. In "This Porcelain
Clay," also a Macmillan publica-
tion, there are minor Jewish char-
acters, but the chief figure, Louis
Silver, taken for a Jew, not only
does not deny it but encourages
people to believe it. lie is of the
opinion' that it will help him in
his business, that Jews, being ac-
cepted as geniuses in finance, have
a certain advantage, He works
hard, amasses a fortune, marries a
beautiful woman who accepts him
for his money and later betrays
ins for another man, Roger Ben-
dish. Towards the end of the
novel there is reconciliation, when
his wife Alicia's lover dies, and
Louis mends his ways to retrieve
his lost fortune. The death of
his wife and her lover's child
gives tragic ending to the story.
It is a fascinating story worthy
of the pen of the half-Jewess,
Naomi Jacob, who glories in the
Jewish blood in her veins. There
are interesting continents on Jews.
Verney who enterer into the story
as Louis' companion has an inter-
esting view of Jews who have
made great contributions but who
are remembered not for the con-
tribution of Christ and the Apos-
tles but of the evil characters In
their history. "This Porcelain

"The Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Detroit therefore expresses
its strong disapproval of such
makeshift synagetues. The Coun-
cil appeals to Detroit Jews who
attend services during the holy
days to worship in the established
synagogues in our community
which function as educational and
spiritual centers all year, and thus
aid in removing an eyesore and a
baneful influence from Jewish com-
munal life. The Synagogue should
be, as it has always been, a corn.
munal institution and should never
be permitted to serve purely priv-
ate interests. By abstaining from
attendance at temporary syna-
gogues, Detroit Jewry will sound
the death knell of an unworthy
and u n whole some phenomenon
characterized by confusion, irre-
sponsibility and commercialism. We
add our plea to the plea of all
responpible leaders in American
Jewry that this evil be removed
from the Jewish scene.
"We respectfully urge that the
established and accredited syna-
gogues in the community take ap-
propriate steps, in planning for
the .coming year, to create and
maintain facilities for larger num-
bers during the High Holiday sea-
son."

Charlie Chaplin recently cele-
brated his 60th birthday and his
25th anniversary in the movies. A
quarter of a century ago he left
England, where he had been on
the vaudeville stage for a short
time, and came to America to start
work for the Keystone Studios.
Here he started bis climb to fame,
from a little-known screen actor
to a world-famous screen comed-
ian, producer, director and writer,
known all over the world. Even
in Russia his birthday was sig-
nalized by prominent space In all
the newspapers.

Loyalty Days in the Churches, Synagogues and
Temples, September 30 and October 1, take on
a deeply patriotic as well as religious significance
this year, it was declared by the National Com-
mittee for Religion and Welfare Recovery, spon-
sor of this annual go-to-church movement.
President Roosevelt has strongly endorsed ob-
servance of Loyalty Days. In a letter sent from
the White House to Dr. E. Graham Wilson, chair-
man of the Executive Committee for Religion and
Welfare Recovery, the President wrote:
"There never has been a time in our history
when there was a deeper need for calling our
people to faith in religion than the present
moment. In the contemporary conflict between
nations and races and their philosophies of hu-
man society, we must keep undimmed our per-
spective on Spiritual values."
The President wrote further:
"I am gratified to learn that the Call is
again going forth for the nation-wide observance
of Loyalty Days by our churches and synagogues,
to bring the minds and hearts of men back to
consciousness of the fatherhood of God, the
brotherhood of man and the sanctions of religion,
in services of worship and rededication to these
ideals. Upon them alone can the structure of our
civilization rest in security and confidence."

The Jewish Community Council
of Detroit has issued the follow-
ing statement condemning the rise
of temporary synagogues during
the High Holy Days:
"Each year the Jewish commun-
ity is plagued with undignified an-
nouncements about temporary im-
provised synagogues w h i c h are
opened for the brief period of the
High Holidays. These temporary
synagogues are conducted usually
for private gain and therefore in-
troduce an element of commercial-
ism into a sphere which tradition-
ally has been free from it, The
religious feelings and needs of
many worshippers are exploited
for the profit of the sponsors of
such synagogues. These temporary
synagogues are generally set up in
halls and stores which do not pos.
sess the dignity and atmosphere
associated with the synagogue, and
therefore convey to many an un-
worthy impression of the Jewish
religion. The establishment of such
t h r e e-day-a-year synagogues of-
fends the religious sensibilities of
many Jews of our community.
Their obvious commercial char-
acter, their irresponsible and un-
dignified methods present a tawdry
picture of the Jewish faith to the
community at large.

most prolific story-tellers who has
written a number of novels In
which Jewish characters arc por-
trayed, writes on a novel theme

has sponsored these conferences
since their inception six years ago,
is an association of 172 commual
agencies in 138 cities in the United
States and Canada, The purpose
of the Council is to stimulate lo-

unorganized areas, and to provide
a method for the expression of lo-
cal interest in the development and
financing of local and overseas
problems. Through the medium of
regional conferences held in this
section annually as well as all
over the country, a forum is pro-
vided for lay leaders for the inter-
change of ideas and to stintilate
discussion and decision.

Catholic alike who uphold or ignore racial intol-
erance has caused leaders in the anti-Nazi fight
to welcome this new magazine as a long-needed
weapon. Captain G. Egerton Harriman, executive
secretary of the Non-Secretarian Anti-Nazi

bring thousands of new supporters to aid in
quelling racial intolerance and to lend their
help in fighting Nazi propaganda in our Democ-
racy."
