A "Reservation" for Jews?

In Berlin, Adolf Hitler's reference to a
solution to the Jewish problem is inter-
preted as the Nazi fuehrer's desire to
create a reservation for Jews, similar to
the Indian reservations in America. It is
explained that Hitler desires to create a
center where not only Polish and German
Jews may live, but also Jews from other
lands.
A week before Hitler's address, there
was talk about the creation of a Jewish
state in Galicia. Apparently the Nazi bigot
thinks seriously in terms of interning Jews
in a hemmed-in territory of his own crea-
tion.
It has been said that all of Adolf Hitler's
acts are committed with an eye to what
history will think of him. In speaking of a
solution to the Jewish problem he has ap-
parently also had in view a gradiose ges-
ture for the isolation of Jews while at the
same time creating the impression that he
has done what the nations of the world
have found difficult to achieve: the solu-
tion of the Jewish problem. More than
that, he even hopes to solve the problem
by creating a state, thus building his dream
on the impression that he may at one and
the same time isolate the Jews and at the
same time help the Jews.
There is something extremely domonia-
cal in this Hitlerian gesture. Galicia, if it
should be projected as a Jewish state, will
create another wave of hatred against the
Jews. Already thickly populated, its Jew-
ish population numbers not more than ap-
proximately 10 per cent of the total popu-
lation. To attempt to "dump" large num-
bers of Jews into this portion of Poland
would merely create new hatred on the
part of the non-Jews who would have to
be transfered elsewhere. It is clear that
any attempt at creating such a "state" or
"reservation" would mean the beginning of
another Jewish tragedy.
Coming from Adolf Hitler, this latest
proposal is, of course, an insult added to
injury.
The Ilitlerian proposal revives the entire
question of Jewish colonization, the need
for the creation of a Jewish state, the prob-
lems that have been discussed by Zionists
during the past fifty years. A glance at
Zionist history and literature will reveal at
once that Zionist philosophers and inter-
preters of Zionist ideology have predicted
present conditions. Zionists were the most
practical of all Jewish leaders in evaluat-
ing the Jewish conditions and in proposing
a solution to the Jewish problem. Dr. Leon
Pinsker was perhaps the most effective
spokesman when he urged Jews not to de-
pend on the help of non-Jews but to strive
for self-liberation—for auto-emancipation.
Jews will do well to re-read Dr. Pins-
ker's pamphlet "Auto-Emancipation." They
will realize that either Jews will help
themselves, along the lines proposed by
Zionist idealogy, or they will subject them-
selves to the danger of having a Hitler
solve their problems for them.
The watch-word today in Jewish ranks
must be along the lines of self-help, or self-
emancipation. It is not only the practical
way out of our dilemna: it is also the self-
respecting method.

Recalling Stalin's Boast

Pt

The following brief editorial note in the
New York Times deserves reprinting: "It
can't be so very many years since Stalin
was saying that Soviet Russia cherished no
designs against any of her neighbors, but
she would know how to deal with greedy
alien pigs who thrust their snouts into 'Our
Soviet Garden'." We shall no doubt hear
some more wisdom from this Asiatic despot
before long. But, for that matter, the de-
mocracies have not said the last word
either.

Late Cardinal Mundelein

A number of Jewish leaders have issued
statements paying tribute to the memory
of Cardinal Mundelein. Dr. Stephen S.
Wise spoke in behalf of the American
Jewish Congress, Dr. Solomon Goldman
expressed the regrets of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America and Edgar H. Burman
spoke for the Jewish War Veterans of the
United States. Dr. Wise's statement is
especially significant. The president of the
American Jewish Congress said:
"Upon two great occasions Cardinal
Mundelein has spoken a great and outsand-
ing word on behalf of civilization and hu-
man brotherhood. Upon the first occasion
he spoke in sincere and vigorous terms
with regard to the shameful conduct of
him whom civilization now recognizes as
its mightiest foe. A year ago Cardinal Mun-
delein again spoke forth not only as a
Prince of his Church, but a friend of hu-
mankind, when he protested against
Coughlin's anti-Jewish utterances being re-
garded as the declaration of the Church.
The Catholic Church loses a great serv-
ant. We of the House of Israel join with

all mankind in paying tribute and grateful
remembrance at the bier of Cardinal Mun-
delein."
In these brief lines is splendid descrip-
tion of the inherent and passionate opposi-
tion to barbarism of the eminent Catholic
dignitary. The Jews of America echo the
sentiments of their leaders who have
joined in paying tribute to the memory
of Cardinal Mundelein.
Respect of Jewry for the memory of Car-
dinal Mundelein is given practical expres-
sion in the special appropriation voted by

the Chicago Bnai Brith Council to be pre-
sented to the favorite charity of the de-
ceased Catholic leader. The charity is to
be named by Bishop Bernard J. Sheil, ad-
ministrator of the Chicago archiocese, to
whom the Chicago Bnai Brith Council also
presented its adopted memorial resolution
in tribute to Cardinal Mundelein.
Because he stood for justice and brother-
hood and righteousness, all faiths joined
in tribute to Cardinal Mundelein.

The New Radio Code

The question is posed whether the price
being paid for curbing Father Coughlin's
radio broadcasts is not too high and
whether even greater damage to freedom
of speech is not being imposed by the new
code of the National Association of Broad-
casters. One of the more interesting com-
ments on the effects of the new code is the
following editorial that appeared in the
Christian Science Monitor on Oct. 6:

Radio is finding, as the press found long
ago, that free speech is never entirely free.
The National Association of Broadcasters is
apparently trying to maintain certain free.
doms by surrender of others. It has adopted a
self-denying ordinance by which no radio time
will be sold for broadcasts on controrer-
sial issues, except for "public proposals sub-
ject to ballot" during an actual election. And
this has been applied to the neutrality debate.

Indeed the ruling has some appearance of
being devised to fit the immediate situation.
And news reports hare been concerned chiefly
with predictions that it would silence the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin on this issue. Many who
desire • clear-headed, unemotional decision mks
to methods for handling American relations
with the beligereot nations will not regret
such silencing. But may not the price be
too high if it means exclusion of temperate as
well as intemperate discussion? Except as sta-
tions give time to public men to debate net,-
trality, the subject will be confined to the
newspapers.

This ruling may ease the problems of the
broadc•sters in one respect. But from the pub-
lic's standpoint it should be recognized clearly
as a limitation on free speech. A free press
has found time and again that laws imposed
to silence some outrageous and destructive
newspapers deny freedom to the decent'press.
Radio, appealing more directly to the passions
of the people may need more stringent rules.
But if the people cannot stand to hear free
speech on such • subject as neutrality, then
the very tolerance, good sense •nd independent
thinking which are bulwarks of democracy are
crumbling.

And the remedy lies in demanding more of
those qualities rather than in giving up free-
doms which help to develop them. There is
something about the habitual use of free
speech which promotes • right response to it.
We like what President Conant of. H d,
without reference to radio, has just said on
this point: "If every phrase must be so chosen
as to avoid the charge of being a warmonger,
• blanket of censorship has been cast on pub-
lic debate." We might add that on the other
side there is equal reason to permit those
who make the charge of warmongering to
speak for continuance of the arms embargo
without calling them "Hitlerites."

We believe the American people can still
"take" • good deal of free speech. And this
instrument of free government should be cur-
tailed only if the cost has been fully counted.

PURELY COMMENTARY

By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ

Sigmund Freud's First Jewish Audience

Our readers will be interested to learn
that Jews in England, after all, did com-
mence Yom Kippur with public Kol Nidre
services. On the eve of the sacred day, the
Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, the
Very Rev. Dr. .1. H. Hertz, issued the fol-
lowing announcement:
"In view of the Government's revision
of the regulations concerning public gath-
erings, the Chief Rabbi has decided that
Kol Nidre services may be held in the
Synagogues at 6.15 p. m. provided that
they conclude before the blackout which
is timed at 6.59 p. m."
But the interesting fact is that the black-
out DID interfere with the usual service ;
that Kol Nidre was curtailed and Neilah
shortened. The important truth is that in
Europe the lights are temporarily either
dimmed or completely out, and that dark-
ness prevails until final judgment is uttered
for rule of decency among mankind.

The work of the 13th annual
Education Month of the United
Ilebrew Schools has now entered
its second stage.
The first step was marked by
sermons and addresses in ayna-
got,•ues and other places of wor-
ship during the High Holy Days.
In most of the synagogues the
rabbis themselves devoted one ser-
mon to the cause of Jewish edu-
cation. In other places of wor-
ship, where there are no rabbis,
instructors of the United Hebrew
Schools and lay-leaders delivered
addresses on the cause of Jewish
education.
At the present time the work of
the Education Month is centered
around the radio broadcasts over
Station WMBC, Hyman Altman's
Hour, and contacts with organ-
izations. Last Saturday night
some of the members of the
Alumni Associations—Junior and
Senior—presented a skit entitled
"A Home Visit," written by Mrs.
Roselea Ilerman Kohen, president
of the Senior Alumni. It was pre-
sented by Norman Leemon and
Freda Smolinsky, of the Junior
Alumni, and A. Gottlieb, a pupil
of the United Ilebrew Schools.
Last Sunday morning, Annette
Isaacs made a brief announce-
ment concerning the United He-
brew Schools and the Education
Month observance.
Next Saturday evening, Oct.
14, at 9:30, Lionel Fink, a mem-
ber of the publicity committee of
the United Hebrew Schools, will
deliver an address in connection
with the Education Month ob-
servance. The following day, Sun-
day, at 1 o'clock, Evelyn Kunin,
a member of the Senior Alumni,
will make a brief announcement
in behalf of the United Hebrew
Schools.
Rabbi Morris Adler is the gen-
eral chairman of the Education
Month, and Nathan Milstein and
Abraham J. Lachover are asso-
ciate chairmen of the radio and
organization committees, which
consists of the following: Bernard
A. Birnbaum, Mrs. Roselea Her-
