HAVE  WE  LEARNED?
Nobody denies that anti-Semi¬ tism Is on' the Increase In Eng¬ land. . .Some observers wrongly intei-pret this growth as the re¬ sult ot the terrorist activities of the Irgun In Palestine... Those who follow British poli¬ tics seriously know that It Is due to the alarmlhg-rebirth of fa.sclst ¦ activities in England... F'ascism In • England Is exper- lemclng a respectable renais¬ sance.. .Mosely is very much in demand by the most exclu¬ sive hostesses of the English aristocracy... .Yet the weekly of tbe American Jewish- Congress pubU.shed an article last month which states: "There are few Fascists In Britain, but many anti-Semites". .Have we learned
nothing? Congress Weekly
surely should know that anti- Semites must be classified in the political category ot Fascist. POT  POURRI

This Sunday evening, at the Deshler-Walllck Hotel, the of¬ ficers and associates ot The Schitt, Company will gather to bid fareweU to Saul Schlft in gratitude and appreciation for the yeoman labors he performed tor the company since Its found¬ ing here some 25 years ago. Mr. Scnlff Is leaving Monday tor permanent residence In New York City where he will a.ssume the presidency of the A. S. Beck Co. The latter tirm is a large chain of retail stores and factories In which the-Schlft Co. had recently acquired the controlling Inleresl.
Since coming lo Columbus In 1921 Saul Schitt has played an impprtant role in the growth and progress of the Schlft Co., with totlay's record of over 300 stores from coast to coast. Gen¬ erous in his attitudes and esti¬ mates of men, profoundly sin¬ cere, modest in all his ' ways, blessed with a sense ot humor and always kindly, Saul was a reai asset to Columbus Jewish community. While his chief ac¬ tivities were in the main con¬ fined to the Schiff Co., his keen perception and broad knowledge and interests - were known and appreciated not only by the ex¬ ecutives of his firm, but also by hundreds of his associates here and  thruout  the  country.
Saul's stays at home weye brief due to his many duties'in the field ot retail opera^on. It Is tor this reason he riad so Uttle time to devote lo Jewish activity in Columbus. Neverthe¬ less all national movements af¬ fecting the welfare of our peo¬ ple everywhere are always close to his heart. There Is nothing in Jewish life and values that he cannot be counted on for moral as well as finanelal sup¬ port.
It is Interesting to note that Saul's move to New York City win for the first time break up the 'Big Trio' of "BUI, Jack and Saul". These three brothers worked together and practically Uved together thruout their life¬ time. Always faithful and de¬ voted, each saw only the good in the other members  of thel
Saul Schiff
trio, and by their 'conduit to each other they became an in¬ spiration to their associates and the Jewish community as well. We heartily join with the large number of his well-wish¬ ers in ihe expression of felicita¬ tions to Saul Schiff on this oc-. casion and wish him continued good health and strength so that he might proceed to exer¬ cise his extensive experience as the new president ot the A. S. Beck Co.
