Davis I. Rose, who heads the Smith College department of sociology and anthropology and is a member of the graduate faculty of the University of Massachusetts, has compiled a series of essays— some written for his book and some reprinted—in his thought-pro- voking volume "The Ghetto and Beyond," published by Random House. Jews and their fellow Americans appear here, realistically, in the discussions on politics, religious approaches, radicalism, human- ism, the evolution from shtetl to suburb.% Attitudes on the Vietnam situa- tion, trends among the youth to- ward the Left, the relationships with Israel and Israelis, the fre- quent evidences of anti-Semit- ism—these and very many more aspects of Jewish life are under review. The editor-compiler points to a latent anti-Semitism that can be revived and to a refusal to worry because Jews "feel they can ride out the coming storms. Like their forebears who came to settle on the Lower East Side, the majority of Jews still believe in America and in the American people." Prof. Rose makes this interest- ing observation: "American Jews delighted at Israeli victory in the Six-Day War have evinced much less enthusiasm for their own country's protracted conflict in Southeast Asia and and its stale- mated war against poverty at home. Other groups in American life share the sense of frustration. In the search for scapegoats that may soon ensue. Jews may find themselves most vulnerable to at- tack from right, left and below. By seeking reform and comprom- ise on most issues instead of radi- cal change, they may come in- creasingly to appear too white for the black militants, too red for the white conservatives, and too yellow for their own children." This criticism, while it implies that Jews are like their neighbors, also admonishes that Jews must be more searching for social changes and for radical advances towards a better life in America.

Israel Trade Deficit Up JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Israel's trade deficit doubled in 1968, reaching $452,000,000. The reason: Israel's huge defense expenditures abroad, paid for in dollars. Some $50,000,000 of Israel's hard cur- rency is tied up in France as the result of President de Gaulle's em- bargo-money which Israel paid in advance for planes which she never received. Israel was therefore forced to increase her import, which exceeded her export, thus creating an unfavorable trade bal- ance last year. Israel's import amounted to $1,000,000,000 while her export was $600,000,000. 18,000 Jews in Arab Land NEW YORK (ZINS) — Of the 350,000 Jews who in 1948 had lived in Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Yemen and Aden, most of them for centuries, there are to- day fewer than 18,000. In additi on to Iraq's 3,000 Jews, most live in Syria, where about 4,000 Jews have been herded into ghettoes, and about 1,000 live in Egypt, many of them held in jail without trial since June 1967, and all of them stripped of their civil liber- ties.

Neill Elliott of Chicago. in a let- ter to Newsweek, wrote: "Mah-jongg sprang up among Hellenized Jews about the year 200 BC and was regarded as one of the more sinister debaucheries by good Judean and Galilean Jews right up to the fall of the Second Temple and the final decimation and Diaspora by the Romans. It was carried to India by the family of Simon of Tiberias, and later worked its way eastward, oddly enough, as an example of high orthodoxy in the homes of Far Eastern Jews. "Recently, in Hong Kong, a group of Chinese Jews expressed amazement to me when I inform- ed them that the playing of mah- jongg was not considered charac- teristic of Hasidic Jews either in Israel or America, and that our young people were not taught the game in religious schools."
