S0S06 ovitz, by establishing a forest in Israel in his and his good wife’s name. Slomovitz is one of the talents of the profession. He is the kind of writer whom you could wake up at two in the morning and ask to write a two column article about the League of Nations— and he would be able to do it. No matter what the subject, it would be a readable article. Probably, if he had been in Israel, they would have elected him mayor like Gershon Agron, editor pt the. Jerusalem Post, who was elected mayor of Jer usalem. But maybe a forest in Israel is better than being a mayor. Thomas Jefferson was ajways a man who was strong for free dom in everything, but one. time he said, “I wish I were a despot.” The time he Baid that was when he saw someone cutting down a tree. That is the point of view in Israel too. Trees are very precious things. Editors usually are not much rewarded. Horace Greeley was probably the most famous Amer ican editor. The pen is mightier than the sword, they say, bat when Greeley ran against Grant, the soldier, Grant, won. Somehow editors give a wrong impression. One time, a mission ary asked Greeley to make a contribution to missionary work in order, he said “to save people from going to hell.” “There aren’t half enough people going to hell now,” re plied Greeley. Actually Greeley was always working for humani tarian causes. He was one of the chief advocates of the coopera tive communities, a kind of American kibbutz, which had a bit of a vogue in his day. He was against slavery, but he was also at least in the beginning against the Civil War and after the Civil War, he went on the bail of Jefferson Davis. He was usually on the unpopular side. Mordecai Manuel Noah was an American Jewish newspaperman a little earlier than Greeley. Noah could remember, as a little boy, seeing Ben Franklin. Pres ident John Quincy Adams thought Noah the ablest news- TUNE - UP ROAD SERVICE OPEN 7 DAYS WEEK 6:00 AM. — 12:00 Midnite Georgetown Texaco 4476 Chamblee Dunwoody Road Chamblee, Georgia Phone 467-9493 Norman Norton paperman in America of his day. Noah too aspired to political of fice, but got little. He was consul to Tunis, but was recalled. Later, he was Sheriff of New York, but here too, he got little nachaaa. A yellow fever epidemic broke out in New York and the crowded quarters of the New York jail threatened to bring down all the inmates with the dreaded “yellow jack.” So what was Noah to do? A Jew can have money or he can have no money, but one thing a Jew has to have is rachmonia. Without rachmonia you are not a Jew. So Noah called the prisoners of the jail together, and opened the doors and said to the prisoners, ‘T am closing my eyes, so if you leave now like gentlemen, I won’t see you leaving.” So. they left Noah was criticized for it, but it was a brave and fine act In those days, a great many of the inmates of jails were there for non-payment of debts. Today, they don’t send you to jail for that. Later Noah sponored the ill- fated Ararat project around Buf falo as a haven for the oppress ed Jews of the world. Noah has been called the first American Zionist. The story of American Zion ism is little known. Charles Thompson, the secretary of the Continental Congress said that the real story of the American Revolution would never be known. Probably the full story of American Zionism too will remain an untold story. Perusing a work dealing with President Shazar of Israel, we learned that one time on a visit to America, he met with Victor Berger in Milwaukee, then a leading figure in American So cialism And Shazar induced in the latter a change of mind about Zionism.
