Mischief by Little Men

Bagel and Lox Jews

Rep. Sabath of Illinois is beginning to
have regrets.
The venerable chairm'an of the power-
ful House Rules Committee let himself be
persuaded by President Truman to vote
for the $3,750,000,000 loan to Britain af-
ter he had vigorously condemned the
measure on the floor of the chamber.

A Glencoe, Ill. rabbi tells how a con-
stituent described himself to him with
some pride as a "bagel and lox Jew."
By that he meant that as far as Jewish-
ness goes, his line of demarcation from
the rest of the world was that he enjoyed
bagel and lox for Sunday morning break-
fast.
The tragedy of the statement, of course
is that too many Jews are just "bagel
and lox Jews."

"My fears," he declared, "have been
increasingly confirmed by subsequent
events that Great Britain had and has
no intention of maintaining the spirit
of the loan agreements."

Actually they have no Jewish con.
sciousness at all. They have picked up
a few affinities they might describe as
Jewish but they are matters of habit,
or of the palate or of sentiment.

The name that I am listing
below is the name of my best
girl friend that I have not heard
of since 1940, and she has a
family in America. Maybe there
is someone that knows her fam-
ily. Her name is Anna Beim.
Now I have two more families
listed below, who left Poland a
long time ago and are Supposed
to be somewhere in America. The
names mzght be spelled wrong
but it's the way they sound:

Dear Editor:
I am enclosing a letter that I
would appreciate your publish-
ing in the Detroit Jewish Chron-
icle. The rater explains my
need.
Whatever you can do to reach
the Jewish people with this let-
ter will be more than greatly
appreciated.
I would also appreciate sug-
gestions as to what Jewish food
to send to these people, food
that would be sure to reach
them in Poland, in a good con-
dition and where could I buy it.
I am a Polish girl and here
is my story:
I was born and raised in Pol-
and in a little town, Niebylec,
Powiat Rzeszow, and in the
years that I lived there I had
made friends with many Jewish
people.
I had left Poland eight years
ago (July 3, 1938) but have cor-
responded with all my friends

since the days of Balfour by distorting
the top officials' viewpoints and giving
directly opposing assurances to the
Arabs.

The greatest enemies of the Jewish
Homeland, Palestine leaders will tell you,
have been the petty officials of the Pal-
estine administration who all through the
'20's and '30's sided with the Arabs be-
cause they feared that the Jews were
becoming too powerful for them to bend
to their wills.

No matter what program Truman
and Attlee finally agree on for Pales-
tine on behalf of the Jews, it is doomed
to fail until these treacherouf career
men are cleaned out of the State De-
partment, the Colonial Office and Pal-
estine governmental posts.
This is how Senators Ferguson and

Vandenberg and Reps. Dingell and
O'Brien can make some amends for their
misguided backing of the loan: Let them
make it clear to the State Department
that Loy and his men must never again
be permitted to subvert American policy
once decided by the American people. •

No Surrender!

The rejection by the Arab Higher Com-
mittee of the British bid to the prospective
London Palestine conference was in-
evitable.
The Arabs' demand that the Mufti be
accepted as head of their delegation was
put forward as a delaying action since
they knew that British ignominy had not
sunk that low that London could recog-
nize the Moslem arch-traitor as a bona
fide spokesman for the Arabs.
By delay and intransigence, the Arabs
hope that they can wear down the Brit-
ish. If they knew their colonial history
better, they would give it up as a hope-
less task.
The Jewish Agency has as yet neither
accepted nor rejected the British invita-
tion to the London talks. It is waiting, ap-
parently, for the force or Jewish opinion
to make itself fully felt.

To the "bagel and lox" folk we say:
Create for yourselves a Jewish home;
educate your children as Jews; feel a
kinship with and help the downtrod-
den, the homeless and the tortured; lift
up your voices in the struggle for Eretz
Israel.

Do these things and you will learn to
be a "heart and soul Jew." You will be
spiritually united with your people and
be one with them.

THE
HE DAUGHTER and feminine counterpart of the late Chief
T
Moses Z. Margolies passed away the other day . . . Her
name was Ida Newman. We knew her well for she was the mother
of "Gugu," wife of Maurice Bergman, advertising genius of Universal's
motion picture empire.
Whenever we visited her she impressed us with her philosophical
calm. Ida lived on borrowed time for the last two years . .. No
impatience or indignation about her fate . . . She died peacefully In
the arms of her daughter Gugu, who never left her side during the
last two years.
There were no newspaper stories written about Ida's passing.
We mourn her as a wise, congenial, saintly mother, the kind of
Jewish mother one does not see around in this atomic age .. .

Rabbi Poplack, Success!

Rabbi Alvin M. Poplack's appointment
as executive director of Young Israel of
Detroit brings another enthusiastic and
capable young man into the leadership of
the fast-growing orthodox youth organi-
zation.
Executive duties are no mystery to
Rabbi Poplack since he has had ample
experience as director at Yeshivah Beth
Yehudah here and as a Jewish Welfare
Board representative in Colorado and
Missouri.
American born, he grew up in Seattle
and studied at the University of Wash-
ington. He was granted his rabbinical de-
gree at Mesivta Chaim Berlin in Brooklyn.
There is much work to be done among
the youth of the orthodox community. We
have great confidence that Rabbi Pop-
lack will do an excellent job.

Perhaps even the devil can be made

Leading the glimmerings of a movement
in Europe to undo some of the wrongs
committed against Jews is that former
Romanian anti-Semite, tool of Fascist King
Carol and subsidizer of pogroms, George
Tatarescu, Romania's foreign minister and
vice premier.

He very cordially agreed to the in-
sertion in the proposed final Allied
treaties with Romania a clause assur-
ing equal rights and full freedom to
Romania's 400,000 surviving Jews.
