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.

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.
