It is in the realm of feeling that the irnportant issues of our life are felt and determined. Here is where thc function of religion enters. Prop- , 'crly viewed, it is not a series of intel¬ lectual concepts framed into theology, as is so commonly, the case, but as influ- -ence in the life of sentiment, of our dependence upon and responsibility to the Being Divine.

The following letter from Samuel Un¬ gerleider to Senator S. W. iirookhart will probably interest his many friends in r)hio and other middle western states. In this letter ho vindicates himself against thcniany aspersions and insinua¬ tions against his character and integrity which have appeared in different news- pai'crs of the country.
Because of !Mr. Ungerleider's high standing in Cleveland and other sections
that the "Nordic" race is the one truly superior variety of mankiud and, still "Ttiohd^i^liveiy,'^'opines that a more than proportionate numerical increase in other races is a "menace", it is difficult not to relish the humor of his position. In a tentative way one sympathized with him in his splendid isolation and im¬ pending sterility. Nor is humor lacking in the spectacle of. the wishful waiting of an enthusiastic Jew who is ready to bless the world with his "mission." So long as "Nordic" anthropologists fail to discover thc racial superiority of the Japanese and so long as Japanese an¬ thropologists (the Japanese by the way, have done some excellent work in physi¬ cal anthropology) remain serenely una¬ ware of the racial superiority of the "Nordic," so long may the outsider be pardoned for a shrewd suspicion that superior and inferior race talk is "thin stuff."
¦ In short, the feeling of group su¬ periority, which we have tried to analyze in the barest outlines may on occasion take the name and color of a truly racial feeling, but in its essence it is a far more generalized phenomenon. We may call it the feeling of ethnic su periority; and we may note that it is one of the more public functions of anthropologists ' and of those who quote and misquote anthropological data to rationalize this feeling in terms of their favorite nomencla- ! ture. A plain Englishman (whatevei- I that may mean in racial terms) is con- I tent to say, "I am not a Frenchman

Mrs. Wolf in offering the appeal of the Council made the following state¬ ment :
"Since its inception as an organization, the members of the National Council bf .Jewish Women of . America have tande(l,,themselves together to work for faith and liumanity. It is nee'diess to appeal to you and reiterate the many ways in which humanity is affected by war or to state again our firm stand under our own faith which has taught us from time immemorial that Israel's mission is. peace. It is on a mission of peace that I am privileged to present to you the resolutions which were passed at the Council's Triennial in St. Louis. May I also offer the following joint statement of our President, Rose Brenner, and our Executive Secretary, Estelle M. Sternberger:
"'The National Couilcil of Jewish Women, at its tenth triennial conven¬ tion in St. Louis, recorded' its hearty approval of tho proposal urghig the en¬ trance of the United States into the World Court as a means for the .settle¬ ment of international disputes and as a medium for promoting peace among nations. Our 50,000 women feel that Congress can render no greater service than that of enabling our country to work for world peace in concert with the other nations of the world, through the World Court.'"
This earnest cfTort of the National
Council of Jewish Women to awaken greater interest on the part of the pub¬ lic, in the World Court proposal, is be¬ ing continued through the local Com¬ mittees on Peace and .-Vrbitration, in 223 cities throughout the" United States,

The officers of the club wish to take thii means of thanking the Entertain¬ ment Committee for its indefatigable tf- fortj. Without the wholehearted co¬ operation of every member of this com¬ mittee the success of the entire affair would have been jeopardized. Follow¬ ing are the names of the men' who com¬ prise the Committee: Arthur Goldberg, Samuel Levin, Dr. Morris Goldberg, and Mitchell G. Koen,
The officers of thc club are also in¬ debted to the Chronicle for the splen¬ did publicity it gave to the affair.
PLANS STARTED FOR C. J. W. MEET TO BE HELD HERE IN FALL
On Tuesday, June 17th, Mrs. Bon I.oewenstein of Cinciiniati who is presi¬ dent of the Ohio Conference of the Council of Jewish Women, presided at a meeting of the committees in charge of the convention to be held in Colum¬ bus, October iMi, 27th ad 2Bth.
Plans were drawn up for the work to be done at that time, when about one hundred delegates from all over the state are expected to attend. More de¬ tailed announcements will be made early in the fall.
A luncheon at thc Lazarus Tea Room followed the meeting, which was held at the Schonthal Community House. Mrs. Locwenstein was the guest of ^rrs. Je¬ rome Kohn, ICM Franklin .Avenue, dur¬ ing her stay in the city.

Tt seems a rea¬ sonable inference (and if you do not agree with nie I shall be obliged to call you some uncomplimentary names) that Ihe superiority of my people, which consists in greater courage, resourceful¬ ness, steadiness of nerve, tolerance and idealism, not to .speak of pugilistic abil¬ ity and poetic genius, is mainly due, en¬ tirely to the comfortable margin of Nordic blood which we possess. .'\t tha risk of being painfully indiscreet, let me whisper that Prof. R.

of Ohio — as a coworker in many good causes as well as a business man — it is deeply to be regretted and deplored that as a result of the recent disclosures at Washington his name has been be¬ smirched by unscrupulous individuals. The Chronicle trusts that its readers will carefully peruse this letter, espe¬ cially so since it will soon be read into the Congressional Record.

Text of Mr. Ungerleider's Statement
June 4, 1924. My dear Senator Brookhart:—
I have before me an official transcript of the testimony of a Mr. Kearns, a witness before your Committee, also newspaper clippings containing an ac¬ count of the testimony of Mr. Burton. Misstatements in this testimony, and direct inferences therein, make it appear that I have in some manner engaged either with them or others in illicit com¬ merce in alcoholic beverages. In that regard both the testimony and the im¬ plications are unqualifiedly false. I feel it is only' just and fair, because of the injury done me, that your Committee have the exact facts.
At Ito time, or in any manne)-, have I engaged in the liquor traffic, directly or indirectly, since the passage of the prohibition act. Yet the use of my name, and confusion with names of' others of the Ungerleider family, to¬ gether with what is either deliberately false testimony or misinformation, has caused false impression to be conveyed, greatly to my injury.
Reading the testimony of Mr. Kearns, one gains the impression that my rela¬ tions with him were of a highly inti¬ mate character and that Mr. .A.be Unger¬ leider, frequently mentioned by Mr. Kearns in his testimony, is a member of the firm of Samuel Ungerleider & Co, It will interest you and your Committee to know that both of these statements of Mr. Kearns are absolutely and un¬ qualifiedly false and that, as far as I am personally concerned, Mr. Kearns was a perfect stranger' to me; that I saw him but once in my life and had a very brief conversation with hiin about the securities of a Toledo com¬ pany, the conversation not lasting over ten minutes, as a result of which I advised Mr. Kearns that I w^s in no way interested in his securities, and ^Jr. Kearijs left my office.
The firm of Samuel Ungerleider & Co. is made up of Sanniel Ungerleider, the writer, and Lewis R, Stark. Mr. {Concudcd on page 4)
