THE JEWS OF IRELAND
(Continued From Page 5)
Wherever one finds the clothing in
dustry, there one is sure to find Jews,
and the manufacture of the famous
Trisli tweeds is one of the industries
that lias received considerable impetus
from the migration of Jewish workers
from England, whose arrival coincided
with the development of the Shannon
power plant. A few years ago, while
the construction of the plant was still
under way, President Cosgravc held a
number of conferences with prominent
manufacturers that resulted in bring
ing from England to Dublin a large
number of Jewish needle-trades work
ers. When these transplanted English
Jews settled in Dublin, they found
many fellow-Jews already there, some
of them of Irish birth, and most of
them prominent in business and in the
learned profession.
The city of Cork now boasts of a
Jewish city manager, Aaron Marks, a
former department store head is the
Jew who runs this world-famous Irish
metropolis. The story goes that when
the newly elected aldermen of the city
held their initial 1930 meeting, some of
the politicians suggested turning over
the city’s affairs to a man who “could
manage them right.” What was cred
ited with being a political move to
embarrass some of the political chief
tains turned out to be of real impor
tance for Cork, for it is now conceded
that Marks, who served with distinc
tion as a lieutenant with the Koval
Irish Regiment during the World War
is doing a thorough job of reorganiz
ing the affairs of Cork.
President Cosgravc, who was re
cently returned to political power after
an almost over-night defeat that was
turned to victory, is one of the out
standing friends of Irish-Jewry and
finds at the bands of the numerically
unimportant but commercially impor
tant Jewish community strong support.
He recently referred to the Jews of
Ireland as the “most progressive and
forward-looking citizens” of the Free
State and when taken to task for mak
ing such a statement publicly stated
that he had meant every word of it.
Hardly any enterprise can be found
in Ireland in which the Jews arc not
prominent. Shipbuilding, art, education
and journalism all boast of prominent
Jews. The first successful theatrical
troupe to tour the Irish provinces was
a Jewish manager’s project.
Irish Jews who served in the World
War are seeing a lot these days of a
very distinguished soldier, Major Gen
eral Sir Charles Rosenthal, K. C. R.,
who now lives in New South Wales.
Major General Rosenthal is now con
ducting a sentimental journey with an
Irish friend who wants him to repro
duce in Sydney an Irish castle. The
General was four times wounded dur
ing the war and has received the high
est military distinctions from the Irish
and Australian governments. In addi
tion to Major General Rosenthal there
were nearly 300 Jews in the Irish forces
during the World War, of whom
thirty-two were killed in action. The
Royal Inneskillen Fusileers, the Royal
Irish Regiment, the Royal Irish Fusi
leers, and the Royal Irish Rifles, the
four crack regiments of Irishmen con
tained the bulk of Irish Jews, who
fought during the World War. Among
them were Lieutenant William Price,
Captain George Wolf, Captain George
Blanckensee, and Lieutenant Samuel
Joseph.
The recent announcement that the
Irish Statesman, edited by A. E. Rus
sell, is considered by Irish Jewry as
almost a personal loss. Russell, one
of the outstanding journalists of the
British Empire, has many friends
among the Jews of Ireland. At the end
of his last visit to the United States
he declared that the story written about
him by Walter Lippmann, editor of the
New York World, was the finest thing
that had happened to him during his
American visit.

city of Boston the Kirstein Memorial

of unemployment in the Philadelphia

VERA BLOOM, daughter of Con
gressman Sol Bloom, of New York, was
one of the American girls presented at
Buckingham Palace. Miss Bloom is a
writer and artist and served as secre
tary to Mussolini for a short time.
LEON TROTZKY, exiled Commu
nist leader, is said to have written to a
Hebrew publishing house in Tel Aviv
asking that they publish a Hebrew edi
tion of his autobiography, “Mv Life.”
He is said to feel that so many Jews
now use Hebrew as their principal lan
guage that he wants his work available
to them. “I also want to hear how my
thoughts sound when they are ex
pressed in Hebrew,” lie wrote.
LORENZO DA PONTE, famous
Italian Jew, who immigrated to the
United States where he became Pro
fessor of Italian at Columbia Uni
versity, edited his memoirs, the English
translation of which has been accepted
by the Academy of the Lincei, Italy’s
oldest scientific and literary associa
tion. The incident is unusual, both be
cause the new English edition was edit
ed by an American, Arthur Livingston.
MAURICE ROSENTHAL, big jew
elry man. has left for Europe to ne
gotiate for the purchase of the jewels
of the late Sultan of Turkey. A
British syndicate is offering the tidy
sum of fifty millions for the ornaments.
Rosenthal has organized an American
syndicate which will bid.
