(of Pennsylvania). Through the
columns of the B’nai B’rith News
we are making inquiry of the ex
istence throughout the United
States of additional Jewish chap
els in penal institutions.”
While it is true that the statement
appeared in this column the informa
tion came to me from a source that 1
considered reliable. But I am very
glad to make the correction in the in
terest of the I. 0. B. B.
I recently asked the readers of this
column who in their judgment should
receive the Gottheil Medal for the
most distinguished service rendered
to Jewish life during the year 1928.
The name of Julius Rosemvald has
been suggested. And a gentleman by
the name of Levinson living in Dor
chester, Mass., suggests that “while
he is no relative of mine” the name
of Salmon 0. Levinson, author of the
“Outlawry of War” and the man most
responsible for the Kellogg Peace
Pact should be named. Then Rabbi
Samuel T. Phillips of a Jewish con
gregation (I do not know where it is
located because the town or city is
not mentioned on the letter-head—
better call the Secretary’s attention
to that omission) urges Nathan Straus
as worthy of the honor. He says that
Mr. Straus is the “Grand Old Man of
Jewry.” So he is. And he is right
when he says that his efforts to bring
goodwill among Jews and non-Jews
is an outstanding achievement. But
he believes that
“Mr. Straus, last act in sending
the Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes
to dedicate the Straus Health
Center in Jerusalem and his mo
tive in selecting for that purpose
this great liberal Christian should
entitle him to the award.”
I am sure the members of the Com
mittee, who are editors of Jewish
newspapers will be pleased to receive
these suggestions. I know that I have
been influenced and may change my
vote before the final ballot is taken.
Now that Mrs. Hoover took Mrs.
Adolph Ochs for an automobile ride,
driving the car herself, there can no
longer be any occasion for worry on
the part of our sensitive co-religionists
that perhaps the President is not
friendly to the Jews. Now all that
remains for some member of the
Hoover family to completely prove its
freedom of religious intolerance is to
take a Catholic for an outing. It may
be interesting to know that Mrs.
Ochs, wife of the publisher of the New
York “Times” is a daughter of the
late Isaac M. Wise, founder of Reform
Judaism in this country.
Painless dentistry. That’s my con
ception of the sympathetic attitude of
Reform Judaism towards Zionism. In
other words, shrewd Reform leaders
have removed the teeth from Zionism
as originally promoted by Herzl and
continued by later Herblians. When I
write this way it is strictly in the
role of an observer. Sitting on the
side lines and watching the “play” I
am more and more impressed with the
idea that Reform Jews do not and can
not get “warmed up” to Zionism. They
are willing to do something—not a
whole lot—to make Palestine another
avenue of opportunity for the Jew of
Europe who hasn’t any other place to
go to. Some of them may have a lit
tle sentiment for the Holy Land but
JEWISI1LY it doesn’t penetrate very
deep. In the meantime the Zionists
have weakened their position as Zion
ists, keeping in mind the original con
ception of the movement. I am not
saying that the present plan isn’t bet
ter from a practical standpoint but it
isn’t Zionism. I am reminded of the
situation between the Jew and the
Gentile. When the Gentile gives the
Jew everything he wants and doesn’t
discriminate against him or persecute
him he encourages him in the direction
of assimilation. It is an enervating
process, leaving Jewish JEWISHNESS
just a little weaker. Likewise with
this co-operation between Zionist and
non-Zionist. It takes something away
from the Zionist but the operation is
so pleasant that he likes it. Rabbi
Louis Newman of San Francisco, com
mented on the fact that the recent
conference of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations ignored the
Jewish Agency and the entire Zionist
question. That isn’t surprising. Most
Reform Rabbis and most reform con
gregations move in the direction of
Palestine, mentally, only when they
are prodded. And no one prodded
them, therefore, they didn’t move.
FUTURE OF PALESTINE DE
PENDS ON WORKING OF
AGENCY AGREEMENT,
ENGLISH VIEW.
London, (J. T. A.)—The future of
the Jewish National Home in Pales
tine depends much on the working out
of the temporary agreement between
the Zionists and non-Zionists, states
an editorial in the “Near East and
India Magazine,” said to be well in
formed on the opinions of the Colonial
Office. Statistics show that the Jew
ish immigration to Palestine since
1922 amounted to 79,894, while the
Jewish emigration numbered 22,225.
Neither the Zionists, the British of
ficials nor the Palestinian Arabs ex
pected that from fifty to sixty thou
sand Jews would be the only result of
the Balfour Declaration. Particular
surprise was caused when the emigra
tion exceeded the immigration in cer
tain periods. The position merely
proves that the original Zionist
dreams were impracticable. This does
not, however, destroy the Zionist ideal
which has now adopted a more prac
ticable scale and is endeavoring to
make Palestine a spiritual center for
world Jewry.
