CHOOSE YOUR PIANO—YHERE
CHOICE IS WIDEST
To Ampico Hall come the most hard-to-please
musical connoisseurs great singers of the
Metropolitan Opera; stars of the silver screen,
people who care nothing for cost; newly-weds
who must count their pennies, yet who know
their nests won't be complete without a piano.
Each finds here the wanted jewel. It may be a
superb instrument in a hand-carved imported
C3se, costing more than a Rolls-Royce —or a
charming new baby grand at less than the
price of a small light car. Or it may be a
used piano that none would ever know was
used, at a saving of half its first cost, and
fully guaranteed.

A Comprehensive Review Of A Year
Of Jewish History
(Continued from Page 27)
It is, of course, impossible to in
clude within a brief review mention
of all of the important honors which
have been accorded members of the
international Jewish community.
Those that are here referred to are
selected merely because they ar high
lights and are symptomatic rather than
because they are the most deserving.
Unusual attention was aroused by the
selection of Miss Elizabeth Simon, the
Hungarian Jewess, as 1 Miss Europe
in the beauty contest that was held
in Paris. That a Jewess should have
received this award in the city where
the Dreyfus trial was held is not with
out its significance. Of the same char
acter was the selection of Miss Lisl
Goldarbeiter, the Austrian Jewish
girl, as “Miss Universe” at the inter
national beauty pageant held at Gal
veston, Texas.
That Henry Bergson, the quasi-Jew,
received the Nobel Prize in literature
is also worth recording, as well as
the fact that George Bernhard, editor
of the Vossische Zeitung, Berlin,
staunch Jew, was elected President of
the International Newspapermen’s As
sociation. Ludwig Fulda, the German
Jewish dramatist was made President
of the International Author’s League.
An indication of the continual civil
progress being made by Jews through
out the world is the appointment of
Michael Meyers as Chief Justice of
New Zealand.
NECROLOGY
During the past year a number of
Jews, known throughout the world and
respected for their contributions to
the Jewish community, passed away.
Among these were Bernhard Baron,
the English tobacco baron and phil
anthropist; Franz Phillipson, Presi
dent of the Jewish Colonization Asso
ciation; Theodore Reinach, the French
historian; Mauritz Stiller, the Swedish
director; Fernand Cremieux, member
of the French Senate; and Prof Leon
Kellner, outstanding Shakespearian
scholar and friend of Theodor Herzl.
THE ARAB OUTRAGES IN
PALESTINE
No situation in Jewish life within
modern times, with the doubtful ex
ception of the Kisheneff pogrom, has
aroused the world-wide interest that
was evoked by the Arab outrages
against Jews in Palestine. The multi
plex factors involved elevated the
events to an international plane and
took them out of the category of mere
anti-Jewish excesses. There are two
aspects to the problem which will have
to be solved in the future. The first
is the status of the Jews in Palestine
under the terms of the Balfour Decla
ration and the Mandate. The second
is the relations between the Arabs
and Jews. Much has been said re
cently with regard to the relinquish
ment by Great Britain of her Man
date over Palestine. It is extremely
doubtful, however, whether the Brit
ish Government will give up a terri
tory that is of such strategic impor
tance for the Empire and which sev
eral other Continental powers would
like to obtain control of.
The onus for the maintenance of
peaceful and friendly relations be
tween Jews and Arabs obviously rests
on the Palestine Government. The
latter body must do the positive deed
of increasing its subsidies for educa
tion and health work, a task which
every other government naturally con
siders its own particular problem in
stead of that of a particular sectior
of the population. If the Government
should also co-operate in a more posi
tive way in the development of com
merce and industry it would be (join*
important service toward increasing
the prosperity of the country and
raising the standard of living, f rotT
which the Arab particularly will hen
efit. In a country where illiteracy ij
infrequent and where prosperity i,
widespread it is imposisble for such
fanatic excesses to occur as have taker
place in Palestine recently.
When the horrible incidents have
receded in time more thought will be
given to the effect of the recent events
on the upbuilding of the Jewish Home
land in -Palestine. Some will deduce
from those events that it is extreme
ly difficult, if not impossible, to go
through with the project which has
been initiated. Other observers will
point to the unity which has been
aroused among world Jewry as a re
sult of the Arab outrages. This unity
can be made the basis for an even
more effective and widespread Jewish
Agency than was at first thought
possible, it will be argued. It is of
course difficult to judge the truth of
these deductions at the present time;
but the fact that all enmities have
been forgotten during this period is
an extremely good omen for the fu
ture of Jewish work in Palestine.
THE DEATH OF LOUIS
MARSHALL
When this review of the year will
appear in print it will be so soon after
the death of Louis Marshall that it
will have been impossible to separ
ate onself from the eulogies that were
expressed so freely immediately upon
his death. But despite the high-flown
phrases that were used to excess, any
person reviewing the year 5689 will
have to admit that with the passing of
Louis Marshall American Jewry lost
its most devoted servant. There were
faults that Marshall had; one was
that of stubbornness, the other was
that of supreme confidence in his own
judgment. But no other person in
Jewish life had his sympathy for
every Jewish cause, his ability to con
vince others to join him in champion
ing a cause, his eloquent voice and
logical mind to show the world when
Jews had been wronged and when
they had achieved something unique.
The highly academic question as to
w r ho was the world’s foremost Je*
cannot be answered authoritatively
by any one, because distinction is >
relative attribute. Many would be
inclined to bestow the honor of the
mythical title upon Albert Einstein,
but after all Einstein’s greatness
