Wise Men and Tcncc
I iiavc just been reading' "A Cultural Jlislory of the Modern Age" by I^koii I'ncdcll, n Gcrniai]. The hook has been widely prai.'^ed, and 1 thiiilc it is good.
Lint even the nir>.st cultural of Germans seem uiial)le to think of Jews witbuut their tliinkiiif; cells being poisoned and tlirowii out of gear. '
Yoii wnuld tliink that education would tend to make a man fair minded—to make a man catholic and a|>i)rcciativc of all sides. Our Jewish Baj,rcs .^aid—"Tal- niiday cbocluimiii niarhiin sholuin . ba- olani," "Wise men increase [)eacc in tlic world."
It should be so but I am afraid it's not ahvay.r true, lulucalion merely enables some to distort things all the more. Tho MallhuH Theory Listen to Ikrr FriccIcU. He is siyeak- HiS of the Mallliusian tlieory.. lie ibihks It's a horrible t)j,eory and I agree with him. 1"he tlieory in short, a.q you know, is that fuod supiily tends to increase in aritlinielical progression whereas popula¬ tion ttinds to increase in gcoinetrical ratio,
Famine, destitution and dcatli, Malthus therefore, held, were inevitable for the great mass. There was no hope for the multitudes, said Malthiis, and the attempt of charity to relieve the pains was un¬ wise. Let the people starve in peace. The <|uickcr, tbe better.
Aha, the Villain Must.Be a Jew "And this was taught by a Christian priest," says Friedell indignantly. "But this is not, after all, so'strange in Mal- tiius' case, when wc remember that Eng¬ lish Puritanism is really a Jewish re¬ ligion."
Hcrr Friedell, as you will notice, is rather hot against Malthusianism, for which I applaud him, and he is wrou-^ht up over the fact that a Christian clergy¬ man should have evolved this thqory.
But he gets balm from the fact that at the time, England w:as dominantly Puri¬ tan, and Puritanism, he holds, is nothing hut Judaism. Bad Puritans Are Jews, of Course Cromwell was a Puritan and I just wonder when Friedell thinks of Crom¬ well, \vhcther he regards him as a Jew. John "Milton was a Puritan and I ditto the same wonder about John. Roger Williams was a Puritan and I wonder whether Friedell would credit him with being a Jew. I have a feeling that he ivould not he so quick to include these amon^ the Jews.
But Friedell's absurdity reaches its apex in andtlier line; He goes on trying to prove the Malthusian-theory false.,He begins one sentence as follows: "The absurdity of Malthusianisrii is cleverly illustrated by Franz Oppenheimcr, etc." Reductio ad Absurdam Now can you match that? Malthus, a Christian priest, hv Frie- dell's logic, becomes a Jew. Becausi why? Because he Was a Puritan-.
But does Friedell say anything of the race of Oppenheimcr whom he quotes as demonstrating the absurdity of Malthus? Would you ever suspect from Friedell that Oppenheimcr might be a Jew ? You never would.
And yet Oppenheimcr was a Jew; and a very emphatic one. Professor Oppen- heiiner was one of the first to take interest iit the Zionist movement.
Now the (|ucstiou arises, why did Friedell not mention the fact; that the opponent of Malthus was a Jew?
And the answer to that is—because if he had said that, it would explode his whole theory..
Miami: Pioneer Writes Miami's pioneer Jew, Mr. Isidor Co¬ hen, sends the following:
"In your current column, you related Adolph Kraus' delectable anecdote. He took a keen delight in repeating this early reminiscence. This reminds me of my long and pleasant association with him. On my.last visit with his family, shortly before he died, he submitted a manuscript treating of the crucifixion of Jesus from a legal standpoint, which he intended to pnbtish in book form. We parted with the understanding that he would visit Miami the following winter and have me celebrate with him.in its revision and publication. I read every line of his voluminous manuscript and found it to be the strongest repudiation of Jewfsh responsibility in the liistoric tragedy 1 ever read."
Are All Jews Equal? The city of Baltimore, as this is being written, has just concluded its drive for the Jewish charities. They raised somc- thing like *flgO.00O for that purpose, and accomplished the feat in a couple ot weeks.
I believe there at-e between (iO,(inO and 80,000 Jews in Baltimore. The city of New York has about twenty-live times the Jewish population of Baltimore. If New York were to support its Jewish charities, by the Baltimore ratio, it would . need to raise, somethijig like $10,000,000. Manifestly, it does not do this. I have not the figures about me, but I should imagine, it raises just: about a third of that amount.
In other words, for Jewish purposes, one Baltimore Jew is equal to three New York Jews.
Law of Diminishing Returns Baltimore is i)erhaps a mite' nlore loy¬ ally Jewish than the average Jewish community, yet on the whole, the show¬ ing of Baltimore may be taken as rep¬ resentative of the rcsiwnse of the smaller town,laud statistics would probably show that the average out-of-New York Jew is worth for Jewish purposes between two and a tialf and three New York Jews,

Palestine Travel Guild Invites
Rabbi Goldman to Lead a
Palestinian Tour
CHICAGO, ILL.—The internationally known tourist, company, ¦ Raymond and Whitcnmh, in connection v.-ith ihcPaleE tine Traver Guild, has for the first time in its history, invited a Jew to lead a tour in Palestine. They are inaugurating this as an annual tour because they are convinced that Palestine hais ceased to be merely a land of memories and ancient relics.
They fully recognize, however, that the Jew. has in the, last two decades wrought miracles in the land. They fee! that the achievements of Jewish pioneer¬ ing should challenge the interest of tht entire civilized world. The Jew has proved himself to be a inighty builder indeed; in the hard years of war and [wgroms he was yet' able to begin to turn the wastelands of Eretz Yisrael into a Garden of the Lord.
In order that the tourist get the proper orientation, and gain an insight into an¬ cient Palestine, as weir as modern, they have selectwl one of the most qualified men of the country to siwak on Palestine, old and new.
They.have asked Rabbi Solomon. Gold¬ man of Chicago to lead the tour. The Congregation Anshe Emet has granted Rabbi Goldman a two months' leave Of absence to lead the tour. The Congre¬ gation is- ready to make the sacrifice be¬ cause of the benefit they feel that will accrue to Palestine.
The tour will set out on the 22nd of March, will arrive in Palestine early in April, and will remain therein to May, In addition to all there- is to be known and seen in the land, there will be this year, in Tel Aviv, in the month of April, a World's Fair. Several stops will be made on the Mediterranean Coast; Syria and Egypt will he als9^ visited.

Response
"To be chosen among our fellows for an\ great hoiior must always be a joy— to be singled out for distinction anion; the niilHoiiB in nur loved land from East to West is even the source of greater joy, hut to he honored, simply because I have loved my brethren, will ever remain the greatest glory and-the greatest joy, .\nd the glory grows apace when the honor conies from the distinguished group which has seen fit to place its seal of approval on mc and on my humble effort in behalf of others.
"For I would not have you ignorant that a man living in San Francisco de¬ serves little praise because he has friendly relations with those of the, house of Is¬ rael. For all the years of our existence, the Jews of San Francisco have been to the forefront of our public life; and in advancing the things of the spirit, 'in de¬ veloping all that helps our culture, above- all in aidiiig the cause of the poor and the cause, of those ivho have fallen out of life's ways, they have obtained a place which is the envy of. every man inter¬ ested in {he future of our loved city. It is for this reason that I feel so little de¬ serving of the digflity which it is your wish to grant to me tonight.
"But out of your great condescension, may we not hope for some realization of the high purpose which this gatliering represents. Of all the precious gifts a kind Providence has given us, there is nb blessing as great as the giTt of kindly love toward tiiose who honestly differ froin us. To battle strenuously for what is dear to us is ever our God-given task, but to be tolerant of honest differences is the height of high religious purpose. Nor need I remind you that this is the very heart of the great charter given us by our Fathers in this loved land.
"The cloud that appears on the horizon no' bigger than a man's hand is indeed threatening, and we shall need every spir¬ itual resource, ify in the days to come, we emerge victorious. The charter of our freedom is based upon the dignity of man, upon respect for man, upon willing¬ ness to sacrifice every personal advantage that our lilierties may not perish from the earth. We who gather here believe in man's dignity, 'Thou hast made him little less than angels.* We^ believe that thtf. law is the volec of Jehovah speaking unto us. And through years of hard trials, we have learned to sacrifice all things for the things we hold dear,"
Council of Jewish Wonien
Will Open New Citizenship
Class, Nov. 30th
Mrs. Harry Goldbergi Local Chair¬ man, Plans to Have All Foreign Horn Naturalized
With a view of offering aliens residing in Columbus the .same advantages af¬ forded native-)K)ri! Americans, a con¬ certed effort is being put fnrtli to assist them in ac(|uiring their Americanizatitni papers.
Researcli figures show tliat bundrcils t}f thonsaiuls of persons who were born on foreign shores. have taken up their present residence in the United States without making any effort to obtain their citizeiisliip papers, which, probably tin- known to thcin, is jeopardizing thdr right to remain in .'\incrii*a hy liiaking them subject to deportation.
Might Not Get Aid in these same states, too, and with similar legislation peiirling in many other stales.' they would be handicapped and actually deijri\ed of the riglit to seek any aid, should they be suffering.
For this reason, a bureau of naturali- , zation is being opened, Nov. JJOth, in the' Livingston Aveiiuc elementary school by the Council of Jewish Women, a national organization headed by Mrs, Harry Gold¬ berg, of PJ(> Cassingham Aveniae, as local chairinan, to urge alien residents of Co¬ lumbus to continue their education, that ¦ they may safeguard against jeopardizing their right to continue their residence here.
. Of the -J,ri()7,2M foreign-born of all races and nationalities who have never ai>plied for citi7.enship papers, but who live in the United States, 2,130,289 arc women.
Twelve States Severe In, 12 states of the Union, rigid laws already have been enacted to , pro¬ tect American-born as well as those who have been granted citizenship papers.
These states include; Arizona, Calif or-. ,, nia, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Oregon.
Under their existing statutes aliens are deprived of the follovvling privileges en¬ joyed by those who have acquired their papers;
1—Securing the admission of wife or husband or children from other coun¬ tries. , ^
Prerequisite to Work 2—Securing a job on public works or in public institutions.
;|—Obtaining unemployment relief in this emergency crisis.
4—Getting a license to peddle or sell certain articles. - ,. ->—Qualifying for old-age pension, f)—One nuist be a citizen to secure a ; niother's pension.
, Papers Inexpensive Although thousands of aliens neglect, for one reason or another, to apply for citizenship papers, the cost of -obtaining Iheni. is comparatively low, in few in¬ stances, ever exceeding $25. .
First citizenship papers can he filed within six months after the arrival in this country of foreign^bom, while the second painrrs cannot be filed until they have resided in the United States for a jjcriod of five years.
Statistics, however, show that in some instances aliens have resided in this coun¬ try for more than half a century without giving the question of citizenship other than a passing thought.
It is toward this end that the Council
of Jewi.sh Women, with the co-operation
of the Columbus board of education, plan
the opening of another Americanization
lass in the city.
Mrs. Goldberg calls attention to' one section of a law recently enacted by con¬ gress, which reads as follows:
"No alien who has entered the United States siiice July 1, 1924, should apply for or accept relief from any public funds or agencic? during the present economic situation, under the federal de- '¦ porlation taws, such as may endanger their right to remain in the United Slates,"
This law, designed to safeguard the .American labor situation, does not apply to those who have become American citi¬ zens since their arrival.
HACHNOSIS ORCHIM TO MEET MONDAY EVENING
The LaJies' Hachnosis Orchim Society will hold a meeting on Monday evening, ^'ove^lher 30th, at 7:30 p. m., at the Agudath Achim Congregation. Nomina¬ tion of officers will take place, and very important business will be brought up for discussion. Every member is urged to be present. . .

It should be so but I am afraid it's not ahvay.r true, lulucalion merely enables some to distort things all the more. Tho MallhuH Theory Listen to Ikrr FriccIcU. He is siyeak- HiS of the Mallliusian tlieory.. lie ibihks It's a horrible t)j,eory and I agree with him. 1"he tlieory in short, a.q you know, is that fuod supiily tends to increase in aritlinielical progression whereas popula¬ tion ttinds to increase in gcoinetrical ratio, Famine, destitution and dcatli, Malthus therefore, held, were inevitable for the great mass. There was no hope for the multitudes, said Malthiis, and the attempt of charity to relieve the pains was un¬ wise. Let the people starve in peace. The < uickcr, tbe better. Aha, the Villain Must.Be a Jew "And this was taught by a Christian priest" says Friedell indignantly. "But this is not, after all, so'strange in Mal- tiius' case, when wc remember that Eng¬ lish Puritanism is really a Jewish re¬ ligion." Hcrr Friedell, as you will notice, is rather hot against Malthusianism, for which I applaud him, and he is wrou-^ht up over the fact that a Christian clergy¬ man should have evolved this thqory. But he gets balm from the fact that at the time, England w:as dominantly Puri¬ tan, and Puritanism, he holds, is nothing hut Judaism. Bad Puritans Are Jews, of Course Cromwell was a Puritan and I just wonder when Friedell thinks of Crom¬ well, \vhcther he regards him as a Jew. John "Milton was a Puritan and I ditto the same wonder about John. Roger Williams was a Puritan and I wonder whether Friedell would credit him with being a Jew. I have a feeling that he ivould not he so quick to include these amon^ the Jews. But Friedell's absurdity reaches its apex in andtlier line; He goes on trying to prove the Malthusian-theory false.,He begins one sentence as follows: "The absurdity of Malthusianisrii is cleverly illustrated by Franz Oppenheimcr, etc." Reductio ad Absurdam Now can you match that? Malthus, a Christian priest, hv Frie- dell's logic, becomes a Jew. Becausi why? Because he Was a Puritan-. But does Friedell say anything of the race of Oppenheimcr whom he quotes as demonstrating the absurdity of Malthus? Would you ever suspect from Friedell that Oppenheimcr might be a Jew ? You never would. And yet Oppenheimcr was a Jew; and a very emphatic one. Professor Oppen- heiiner was one of the first to take interest iit the Zionist movement. Now the ( ucstiou arises, why did Friedell not mention the fact; that the opponent of Malthus was a Jew? And the answer to that is—because if he had said that, it would explode his whole theory.. Miami: Pioneer Writes Miami's pioneer Jew, Mr. Isidor Co¬ hen, sends the following: "In your current column, you related Adolph Kraus' delectable anecdote. He took a keen delight in repeating this early reminiscence. This reminds me of my long and pleasant association with him. On my.last visit with his family, shortly before he died, he submitted a manuscript treating of the crucifixion of Jesus from a legal standpoint, which he intended to pnbtish in book form. We parted with the understanding that he would visit Miami the following winter and have me celebrate with him.in its revision and publication. I read every line of his voluminous manuscript and found it to be the strongest repudiation of Jewfsh responsibility in the liistoric tragedy 1 ever read." Are All Jews Equal? The city of Baltimore, as this is being written, has just concluded its drive for the Jewish charities. They raised somc- thing like *flgO.00O for that purpose, and accomplished the feat in a couple ot weeks. I believe there at-e between (iO,(inO and 80,000 Jews in Baltimore. The city of New York has about twenty-live times the Jewish population of Baltimore. If New York were to support its Jewish charities, by the Baltimore ratio, it would . need to raise, somethijig like $10,000,000. Manifestly, it does not do this. I have not the figures about me, but I should imagine, it raises just: about a third of that amount. In other words, for Jewish purposes, one Baltimore Jew is equal to three New York Jews. Law of Diminishing Returns Baltimore is i)erhaps a mite' nlore loy¬ ally Jewish than the average Jewish community, yet on the whole, the show¬ ing of Baltimore may be taken as rep¬ resentative of the rcsiwnse of the smaller town,laud statistics would probably show that the average out-of-New York Jew is worth for Jewish purposes between two and a tialf and three New York Jews, (Continued on page 2) Council of Jewish Women to Meet Next Tuesday, Dec.

Palestine Travel Guild Invites Rabbi Goldman to Lead a Palestinian Tour CHICAGO, ILL.—The internationally known tourist, company, ¦ Raymond and Whitcnmh, in connection v.-ith ihcPaleE tine Traver Guild, has for the first time in its history, invited a Jew to lead a tour in Palestine. They are inaugurating this as an annual tour because they are convinced that Palestine hais ceased to be merely a land of memories and ancient relics. They fully recognize, however, that the Jew. has in the, last two decades wrought miracles in the land. They fee! that the achievements of Jewish pioneer¬ ing should challenge the interest of tht entire civilized world. The Jew has proved himself to be a inighty builder indeed; in the hard years of war and [wgroms he was yet' able to begin to turn the wastelands of Eretz Yisrael into a Garden of the Lord. In order that the tourist get the proper orientation, and gain an insight into an¬ cient Palestine, as weir as modern, they have selectwl one of the most qualified men of the country to siwak on Palestine, old and new. They.have asked Rabbi Solomon. Gold¬ man of Chicago to lead the tour. The Congregation Anshe Emet has granted Rabbi Goldman a two months' leave Of absence to lead the tour. The Congre¬ gation is- ready to make the sacrifice be¬ cause of the benefit they feel that will accrue to Palestine. The tour will set out on the 22nd of March, will arrive in Palestine early in April, and will remain therein to May, In addition to all there- is to be known and seen in the land, there will be this year, in Tel Aviv, in the month of April, a World's Fair. Several stops will be made on the Mediterranean Coast; Syria and Egypt will he als9^ visited.
