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.
