It proves that President Hoover was actuated by but one
motive: That of placing the best qualified man in the post.
We congratulate Justice Cardozo, President Hoover and the
United States of America.

At Least—Comfort
We have become accustomed of late, to a new tone of bru
tality among nations, especially those which have only
recently come to power and independence. Behind the pre
tended deference to world opinion, there is a ruthless will
to carry out a given policy of selfishness which stops at
nothing. So we see Poland carrying on in her definite na
tional policy of minority repressions in which the Jews are
the chief, though not the only sufferers. We continue to have
some belief that moral pressure can do something to relieve
the plight of the Jews of Poland. We cannot wholly relin
quish the feeling that somehow the revulsion of mankind pro
duces some effect even on narrowhearted and narrowminded
chauvinists. But one thing is sure: our morale is strengthened,
our power to endure increased, when the highest minds of
the modern world range themselves, in sheer sympathy on
our side. Among the highest is Professor Guglielmo Ferrero,
perhaps the foremost philosophical historian of our time. A
mass meeting was held in Geneva to protest against Poland’s
treatment of the Jews. Professor Ferrero was unable to at
tend, but he sent the following letter:
“I regret exceedingly my absence from Geneva . . . how
ever, I shall be entirely there with you in spirit. The events
that are occurring in the universities of Poland are a disgrace
to Europe as a whole. It is inconceivable that any anti-
Jewish outrages are possible at all, especially in a country
which has known what oppression is through its own ex
perience, and which was liberated twelve years ago at the
price of a war which ruined the whole world. One might
say that Poland wishes Europe to regret the time when ‘order
reigned in Warsaw’ thanks to the sword of Russia.”
We talk a great deal about the “inevitability” of anti-
Jewish excesses in time of economic stress. We have almost
come to accept this evil as one of the laws of our existence.
But though, in the midst of the sufferings of the Jews, we
have been prepared for the worst in human nature, these re
minders of the best in human nature, of the law which tran
scends even the laws of the jungle, reminds us that in all our
adversity we still have the respect of the moral elements in
humanity. The words of Achad Ha-Am recur to us—the
half-consolation of knowing that not we, but the attackers
are in the wrong. With this consciousness we can overcome
the worst that lies before us.

Van Paassen—A II elcome Visitor
Pierre van Paassen, the noted foreign correspondent, one
of the most distinguished non-Jewish friends of Zionism and
Jewish minority rights, was in Atlanta on a lecture tour. Few
journalists have so brilliant a record of achievement as our
Flemish friend who for more than a decade has written of
Jewish affairs and problems with an understanding and a
warm sympathy that is highly valued by world Jewry. Van
Paassen is a keen student of sociology and economics. He
has visited, many times, Rumania, Poland, Germany, Italy,
the Balkans, Palestine and the entire Near East. Wherever
his duties as correspondent of the defunct New York World
or the North American Newspaper Alliance called on him,
he made it his special task to investigate Jewish conditions
or general conditions affecting the local Jewish population.
There are few wielding a pen who are better informed on
Jewish affairs than Pierre van Paassen. Circles interested in
the Jewish status throughout the world should take advan
tage of his presence in this county. American Jewry should
convince Pierre van Paassen that his work on behalf of the
Jewish cause is fully appreciated and highly regarded.
