Miss Brenner concluded her mes-
sage with the statement that in the
Department of Immigrant Aid, the
increase in its work even with a less-
ened immigration, resulted from its
tremendous international case work.
During the past year, 1,500 internat-
ional cases received ite attention and
over 1,000 letters of inquiry were re-
ceived from abroad, from families
seeking lost relatives or desiring in-
formation on immigration problems.
Special provision was made in the
budget for the increasing needs of
every department of the Council’s or-
ganization.

THE INCREDIBLE THING ABOUT ZANGWILL’S CREDO.
DAVID GOLDBERG.
We notice by the London Jewish press that Israel Zangwill is
still permitted to make his voice heard at important Jewish gath-
erings over there, proving that his recent “credo” was either
forgotten or forgiven. It may be that, being so near Zangwill,
the British Jew had grown accustomed to his periodic “sallies”
and refuses to be surprised at whatever that temperamental
sage says or does. And when you come to think of it, what is
it that Mr. Zangwill had said in his "credo" which we did not
hear before? He said, for instance, that he was not a racial
Jew, meaning that he was not one of those Jews who sublimate
their racialism as being in itself the highest of virtue. But in
this he is neither singular nor original, as every one knows who
has followed up the perennial arguments between the national-
ists and the non-nationalists. Or, he said, with reference to
for their life and goal as a very nat-
ural thing. . ... .
"Fifty thousand dollars is a good
deal of money. It is a lot, but all
things that you have cost you some-
thing. In order to have anything
in life you must pay for it. In order
to keep your fifty thousand you must
pay likewise. You have the alterna-
tive. If this house is not built you

We are in receipt of a communica-
tion from Mrs. J. Walter Freiberg,
president of the National Federation
of Temple Sisterhoods, saying that
the January issue of the American
Hebrew will be a special Sisterhood
number. This number will include
articles on State work as well as Nat-
Judaism, that much which was useful in the past might be pro-
fitably discarded at the present, so as to permit Judaism to pre-
vail in a modern setting. Well, it is supercilious to make scan-
dal out of” this, when it is known that “the surgeon’s knife” has
been applied to Judaism the world over these several decades.
In essence, what is the philosophy of Liberal Judaism in England
and of Reform Judaism in the United States, if not this very
thing of skillful surgery about the decadent parts, with a view
to saving the body of Judaism? So that, in this respect, tpo,
Zangwill’s statement is neither novel nor singular. And certainly
there is nothing new in the thought that the Jew might profit-
ably acquaint himself with the content of the New Testament,
if only for critical adjustment to the thing which has played so
fatal a role in his history. No less staunch a nationalist than Dr.
Joseph Klausner has seen fit to devote the best years of his life
to a study of the sources of the life and work of Jesus "of Naz-
areth and present his findings in a copious volume, entitled
“Jesu.” This eminent scholar, by the way, had published the
book in the Hebrew language,-that is, ostensibly for the Jewish
Jew. Who would accuse Dr. Klausner of a desire to “trifle with
Jesus?”
But the thing really novel and singular about Mr. Zangwill’s
credo is his statement that he had married a Gentile solely to
prove his indifference to racialism. We do not believe that he
married Mrs. Zangwill with a view to proving any such thing.
It is incredible that a man will use marriage for the purpose of
demonstrating a theory or a truth or a point-of-view, and we
could swear to it thatMr.Zangwill was wooing Mrs. Zangwill in
the same manner any man is wooing any woman, and quite for
the same reasons. The only thing Mr. Zangwill’s intermarriage
really proves is that, while racial predilections generally may be
relied upon as sufficient .panacea against wholesale intermar-
riage, they are no panacea in exceptional cases, where the love
of the man for the woman, or vice versa, is strong enough to
break the natural racial barrier. In exceptional cases of that
sort, religion, too, is not a barrier. We only need to cite, to prove
our contention, the following three cases: Israel Zangwill, the
, cosmopolitan Jew; Max Nordeau, the racial, Jew; and Jacob
. Israel de Haan, the ultra orthodox Aggudist—all of whom have
married outside of their rce and faith.

The second of a series of parties
to be given by the Social Service
Committee was a Thanksgiving party
for the crippled children at the Bap-
tist Sanitarium. After playing games
and reading stories, individual boxes
of candy and ice cream and turkey

hour in the sunshine the children
were wheeled upstairs to their beds.
Those assisting in the entertaining
of the children were, Misses Frances

the likelihood is that this number will
continue to grow from year to year
while the little community will re- s
main the same. It is impossible for
the community to take care of the
Jewishness of these students. And
after all it is not their job. Those
students do not come from Austin
alone; they come from all over Texas.
It is the care of the Jews of the
whole state to. mother these boys.
Furthermore, the students do not
want concentrated mothering from
the people of Austin. They have
come to learn that it is a great
amount of cost for the people of a
small community and they have no
desire to give the gratitude and the
thanks with which this cost must be
paid. They therefore attempt to
hold themselves aloof sometimes in
order to avoid obligatins, sometimes
because they misinterpret the spirit
of the giving. There is in Austin a
town and gown antagonism. - Many
of the students do not desire to mix
with the people of Austin. Very many
of the people of Austin, have come to
the point of not desiring to mix with
the students. After all even a rabbi
cannot force entire peace and un-
derstanding.
“One hundred and forty-seven stu-
dents at the university are to the
greatest degree drifting. The com-
munity cannot take care of them
Jewishly; the community is too small.
The fraternities do not supply the
need. There are only two Jewish
fraternities and one Jewish sorority,
all in all, about thirty students be-
longing to the fraternities; leaving
still a good number over a hundred
unaffiliated with something Jewish
in this small way. And yet only one
of these groups have a house, the
only means of really providing a Jew-
ish environment by means of a fra-
terniky and so not more than thirteen
are at one time fully provided with
a home atmosphere in this way.

At the closing session of the annual
meeting of the board of managers of
the National Council of Jewish Wom-
en which was held at the Commodore
Hotel in New York City, Miss Rose
Brenner of Brooklyn, president of the
National Council of Jewish Women,
announced her contribution of 11,000
" toward the new budget of $102,450,-
000 adopted for the coming year,
for the national and international
। activities of her organization. Other
1 gifts announced at this meeting were
$1,000 by Mr. Albert D. Lasker of
Chicago; $500 by Miss Florina Lask-
’ er of New York City, national ehair-
man of the Council's Department of
Immigrant Aid; and $800 by Mrs.
Bert H. Printz of Youngstown, Ohio,
a national'director nad president of
the Ohio and* West Virginia Confer-
ence of Council Sections.
Miss Brenner, in announcing the
adoption of the new budget, declared
that the National Council of Jewish
«r Women was gladly paying the price
for having so efficiently discharged
its obligations to Jewish womanhood.
“The policy of the National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women,” added Miss
Brenner, “is summed up for me in
them devout Jews either by reason 1_____
or compulsion. They must be led/to ! ,

the full representation of the State
Assemblies, be it resolved that we
urge each local Sisterhood to create
a convention fund in order to elimin-

6. In order to promote a greater

whereas no real contact exists, and

toward this end, be it resolved that

available the services on Holy Days

communicate with each Rabbi of the
State of Texas, urging the consider-
ation of placing in the religious

of how to obtain universal peace.
