“It is, furthermore, apparent to
us that non-Jewish, as well as Jew-

American Jewish women, are dis-

ments of Jewish women will be
more widely heralded and more
appreciatively appraised, with the

stand that the political negotiations
of the Zionists are for the purpose
of guaranteeing the safety of Jew-
ish life and property in Palestine,
to facilitate the progress and devel-
opment of the country, to prevent
unfair discrimination against the
Jews in their homeland, and to cre-
ate sympathy and understandng
for the ideals of Judaism.
The one who writes me this is
correct as far as he goes, but he
doesn’t go far enough. The leaders
of the Zionist movement wanted a
political state. But they have been
forced to modify their original pro-
gram because they couldn't realize
it. It is quite true that any non-
Zionist can without compromising
himself assist in making Palestine
a better and a safer place for his
people to live in.

to show why it is easier for the Jew
of the South to enter the Christian
fold. Just read this intellectual (?)
trash which is sponsored by a REP-
RESENTATIVE CHURCH BODY
in the South, which ought to be
ashamed of itself for insulting Jew-
ish intelligence and the intelligence
of THINKING Christians:
“Jews landing on our shores find
here a vast difference. They find
freedom and protection and readily
make friends among Gentiles. Well
and good, so far as it goes, but
sad to say, they decidedly will not
attribute this good fortune to the
influence and teachings of Christ
or His apostles. Instead, the ma-
jority give the credit Oto our good
government and declare that, were
it not for our government, condi-
tions would be as found in their
old home. They maintain they are
helped to high offices by Chris-
tians, not through love for them on
the part of the Christians, but sim-
ply because they (Christians) know
the Jewish genius and are thus
chosen to help in the better devel-
opment of the country. They hold
that the protests made by the prom-
inent preachers of evangelical
churches, when the sad news of the
Russian pogroms reached here,
were made as a matter of sheer
policy. Such are the Jews the mis-
sionary must deal with in Chicago,
New York, and other northern
cities; but different in characteris-
tics is the Southern Jew. By this
is meant the Jew born in the
South.

Reverend Jacob Gartenhaus, ac-
credited missionary to the Jews,
and printed by the Sunday School
Board of the Southern Baptist Con-
out certain interesting facts con-
cerning the work of the late Sir
Edgar Speyer, which were virtually
unknown in this country. Readers
will recall that the press spoke of
the revocation of his certificate Of
naturalization in 1921 after a bit-
ter controversy over the accusation
of pro-German leanings. Miss La
Follette resents the omission of the
worthy acts performed by Speyer
in even the English accounts of his
life. He founded the Whitechapel
Art Gallery, he was the sole sup-
port of the Queen’s Hall Orchestra;
when a penny bank in Needham
Market was threatened with failure
he made good the deficiency; in
1 1905 a fund of five hundred thou-

was treasurer -of the Scott South

first to introduce the works of
Richard Strauss to the English pub-
lic and the composer recognized
this service by dedicating his “Sa-

•Follette says that when Edgar
Speyer received his American cer-
tificate of naturalization in 1925
the Judge who officiated declared
that this country was honored in
granting citizenshp to such a man.
All these things are of value in
helping to do justice to the memory
of a distinguished Jew.

the need of dealing with debts be-

"Receiverships and defaults, even
if partial, are always costly,” he
declared. “They destroy faith,
which is the base of our civiliza-

law, every seven years debts were
cancelled. In the 5,000 years since

something'along the same lines.

New York City. It will take the
form of an Encyclopedia of Jewish
Women, with Rebekah Kohut and
Estelle M. Stemberger as editors.
The announcement stated that
the encyclopedia would record all
facts relating to the achievements
and programs of Jewish women’s
organizations in the United States,
scholarly articles on the position of
woman in Judaism and in Jewish
life, and detailed information on
the accomplishments of Jewish wo-
men in every walk of life.
“We believe,” stated the editors,
“that a constructive discussion of
the problems confronting Jewish
women will be facilitated by the
availability of the material to be
included in the encyclopedia.
Much of the information that has
been accumulated by Jewish wo-
men and their organizations should
be crystallized in a form that will
serve as a stepping stone to the
present and future generations, in

Wynn the “Perfect Fool." His
name is Isaac Edward Leopold, so
for stage purposes he took his mid-
dle name Edwin and split it up and
made a very attractive and euphon-
ious stage cognomen. One thing I
like about Wynn is that he is able
to be funny without being vulgar.
This talent, quite unusual for the
modern comedian, seems also to ap-
peal favorably to the dramatic
critics. It may be of interest to our
producers to know that the public
likes clean and wholesome enter-
tainment. The great value of the
Goldbergs on the air lies in the
CHARACTER of “Mollie.”

Southern Jew is that he is inde-
pendent. Unlike his foreign brother,
he does not fear as much the criti-
cism of another Jew. This fact is
proven by his intermarriage with
Gentile neighbors, his visits to the
churches, entertaining a missionary
in his home, or more, in reading the
New Testament. Several reasons
may be given for this difference be-
tween the two types of Jews:
“1. The Southern Jews, as
stated, associate with their Gentile
neighbors, first as children in their
plays, later as young people and
adults in clubs and other social
gatherings as well as in the busi-
ness world.
“2. Here the Jew enters a
church frequently, the rabbis speak
in churches and pastors speak in
synagogues. Thus the Jew has
learned more of the true Christian
spirit.
“3. Then, too, the daily papers
in the South are more of a reli-
gious nature than elsewhere, which
to him is a source of information.
“4. Not being strict in his own
religion, he has no scrupulous ob-
jection in considering other reli-
gions and respects them. He is rea-
sonable and polite and believes
wholeheartedly in freedom of
thought.”
Gartenhaus is associated with Bap-
tist Home Mission Board of Atlan-
ta, Ga. I find on the fly leaf this
statement:
“There is no more important
thing just now than winning the
Jews to Christ. May this tract stir
the hearts of Christians and set
them in a new way and with a new
enthusiasm.”
That statement is signed by J. B.
