GEORGIA REVIEW OF THE JEWISH NEWS Saving G erman Jews James Loeb, son of the founder of the Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who died recently in Germany, left the sum of one million dollars to the Institute of Experimenta tion in Psychiatry at Munich, the Nazi capital. The will drawn up two years before the Hitler ascension to power goes into effect although it is very doubtful whether Mr. I.oeh would have bequeathed this sum to an institution excluding Jews from its faculty and student body. A tragic ironical coincidence that speaks volumes for the present Jewish situation in Germany. It is but another evidence how utterly ridiculous it is to view the Jewish problem in Naziland merely as a matter of transplanting the Jewish popu lation of Germany to other countries. Cierman Jewry has been and still is so integral a part of German life that the problem will, in large part, have to be solved in Germany. V Trench Report—A Warning The notorious French Report on Pales tine has finally been made public and although its contents were very much as anticipated, it has not created very much excitement in Zionist circles. Jewish Pal estine is no longer frightened by British statements and reports. It is too busy working. There is, however, one phase in the French Report which deserves at tention. It is the definite declaration that there are no government lands available for Jewish and Arab colonization. This means that the Jews will have to pur chase whatever land they intend colo nizing in Eretz Israel. In other words the expansion of Jewish agricultural ac tivities is entirely a matter of Jewish funds. In view of the prevailing land speculation in Palestine, the problem is serious. If the Jewish Agency will per mit private capital to capture most of the land in Palestine, the development of the Jewish Homeland in a national direction will receive a grave setback. It will multiply the cost of Chalutzim colonization to such an extent that the funds required from the Zionist treasury to settle newcomers on land will become prohibitive. The French Report makes imperative a strong attitude on the part of the Palestine Zionist Executive towards Jewish land speculators. V Million-Dollar Publicity Ever since the launching of the mil- lion-dollar campaign by the American Jewish Congress for the purpose of car rying on a counter-offensive against Hit lerism, we have been waiting patiently for a great action in this direction. The campaign is in full swing. It has raised close to $100,000 yet the Jewish Congress does not show the slightest symptom of a comprehensive program. The publicity department of the American Jewish Con gress issues every day a voluminous batch of statements and pronouncements, few of which because of their rabbinical and sophomoric tone, see print in any publi cation. Instead of a stream of informa tive copy which the newspapers would be glad to use, the Jewish Congress keeps on feeding the press with editorials gen eralizing on the situation, adding nothing whatsoever to the enlightenment of pub lic opinion. One million dollars in timet like these is a large sum. No organiza tion has a right to demand sacrifices from the Jewish community unless it justifies its existence by a constructive program of action which it conscientiously tries to execute. What is the program of the American Jewish Congress except for vague references to the World Jewish Congress next year? It is time that Ber nard Deutsch, President of the Jewish Congress, formulated a clear-cut schedule of action and instituted drastic reforms to carry it out. Mr. Deutsch has the ability to do so. He can succeed if he will make the Jewish Congress an autonomous institution responsible to its constituent organizations instead of permitting the American Jewish Congress to remain an adjunct of the Jewish Institute of Re ligion and an employment agency for its rabbinical students and graduates. ▼ Roosevelt Meant It 'That President Roosevelt’s promise to humanize the immigration law, made in an interview with Joseph Brainin before his nomination, was not an empty elec tion promise was conclusively proved the other day when the Roosevelt Secretary of the Department of Labor, Frances Per kins, promulgated a new immigration order. The order says: “A student who has some means, hut not sufficient income to cover necessary expenses, will he per mitted to accept sufficient employment to meet necessary expenses. A student hav ing no means will he permitted to work to earn sufficient funds to meet necessary expenses. In no case will a student he permitted to accept employment of a na ture to interfere with his full course of studies.” 'I*his applies to foreign students of course. What a change from the Hoover policy represented by Mr. Doak who withdrew the privilege of employ ment—even on part time—from alien students! There is a New Deal spirit emanating from Washington. That it em braces the immigration regulations is most gratifying and of special interest to Jews in view of the disfranchisement of thousands of Jewish university students in Naziland. V A Long-1 Aved Libel When Professor Albert Einstein was on his way to America three years ago, efforts were made to prevent his admis sion here on the alleged ground that he was a Communist. When he was on his way to America last March, the Ameri can consul-general in Berlin held up his passport because he intimated that Ein stein was a Communist. Now comes the Better America Federation, an organiza tion of ultra hundred-percenters, with a circular purporting to prove that Einstein is connected with the Third International. The circular also contains pictures which are supposed to prove the allegation. In a letter to the New York Times, Profes sor Einstein declares that the pictures are forgeries, that he has never been connected with the Third International, that he has never been in Russia and that all the accusations are inspired by politi cal motives. It seems to us that it is time someone discovered that Professor Einstein is simply a brilliant scientist, a good Jew, a fair musician, and a lover of mankind. Politics means nothing to him. He could no more he a Communist than he could he a Democrat, a Republi can or a Fascist. The libel of Einstein’s “Communism” will apparently live as long as the libel about the Elders of Zion or the nationalization of women in Russia. A canard dies hard but the one about Einstein is about due for the coroner. willing, smiling service is yours when you sail CCNARD To all who serve you aboard a Cunarder, you an* a personality come aboard their ship to lw pleased, to he made happy.
