Consider the King
Wc Jews .soinetiinc.'! tliinktiiat we have a disproportion of the world's troubles, but really is it su? Coiusidcr the case of tlic English king—for tliat matter of all the present Euiopcuii royalty.
Not enough arc tlicy harassed by the growing democrulic inuvcmcnt, l)ut it appears that there have been insidious I'liniora, taken very seriously, lliat there is a Strang strain of Jewish blood (low¬ ing in their veins. People, it seems, have hceii saying that King George's grand¬ father, Prince Albert, the royal consort oi Queen Victoria, was lialf-Jewish. That New Book We Jews now and then hear siiclr re¬ ports—refer to thcui, pcrha|)s get a little kick, and ninnsement out of them and dis- luiss tliciii, but snch a report is not a light matter to their MajcBtics. The best proof of this iil the fact that a new book has' Just been iiiiblishcd, apparently with ollicial approval, whose main thesis is to deny the story of Quceii Victoria's hus¬ band having been a half-Jew.
The book to which I refer is "Albert the pood" 'by Hector Rolitho. How ini- purtaiit the book is deemed may be re- gardc<l by. the fact that the New York Titnes gives a whole page in its book supplement to its review.
The proofs of the book, says tht Times, "have been read by the Grand Diike of Hesse, the Duke of Saxe-Co- burg and Gotha and the Dean of Wind¬ sor," and the Times plainly states "that the real pnrpose of this book is to dis pel the assumptions" of Jewish blood. The King Is a Jow—Lpng Live the King!
It will be recalled that Lytton Stra- chey, some time ago in his "Qiiecii Vic¬ toria," hinted at the Jewish lover being the father of Prince Albert.   He wrote
"There were scandals; one of the Court Chamberlains, a charming and cultivated man, of Jewisli extraction, was talked of."
What Strachey only' hinted ' at was more explicitly stated by a German au¬ thor .who wrote:
"Prince Albert of Coburg, the Prince Consort, is to be described without con¬ tradiction as a half-Jew, so that since his time, Jewish blood has been, circulating in the veins of the English royal family, as well as in the veins of the Hobenzol- lerns."
The Queen's Jewish Lover .  ,, But this new book-by Bolitlio. takes up . all the rumors and while admitting thai Prince, Albert's mother was very attached to a  fascinating army officer, Lieutenani von   Hanstein,   declares   some   intimate members  of  the  then  court  have  told him "that there could have been no mis¬ demeanor until at least four years after Prince Albert was born." . Thus,   Bolitho  admits   the  affair  he¬ tween  Albert's  mother and  the Jewish army officer, but contends that the affair dated front after the birth of Albert. So What?
To all of which we can only say—so • what? Suppose, King George's grands father was half-Jewish. Is it anything to write a book about? The New York Times calls attention to the fact that Queen Victoria used to like to think that she was a descendant of the dynasty of King David.
But the lesser members of the royal family seem very much worried about their pappy being a Jew,
It is amusing anyway to see a good writer like Hector BoUtho wasting good literary talents on snch a defense.
Yet, I am afraid, lie has not altogether proven his point. The evidence he ad¬ duces against the Jewish father is not any stronger than the_ evidence for it.
I am afraid wc will have to go, on tliiiiking of ICing George and Prince Ed¬ ward as maybe being a little Jewish. Mow and then we should invite them to ".ichiil" to make them feel at home. Kipling and Israel
Our English friend, Mr. Rudyard Klp- ' ling, apparently is not overfond'of Jews.
He has just written a new book of poems, and one of the poems, dealing with Hollywood, runs:
"And here come tired youths and maids that feign to love or sin In tones like rusty razor blades to tunes
like smitten tin. . . And every word that taints the speech and show that weakens thought And Israel watcheth over and does not watch for naught."
In other words, we Jews are respon¬ sible for the actresses who love and sin on the movie reels, and even for their "razor bla<le voices."
Well, Mr, Kipling ought to be less harsh now with the Jews, since Jevvish dominance of the movie industry is largely a thing of the past.
But why, might we ask, doesn't Mr. Kipling write a poem about some of tlie evils of the English. It Is a generally known fact, for instance, that imperialis¬ tic England is much responsible for the continued use of opium in the Orient. That might make a good poem, too, for Kipling, and we presume if the Jews were the guilty party in that matter, in¬ stead of the English, the poem would be written,
Relativity
Apropos of the depression, writes Slomovitz from Detroit, "you might quote one of our kibitzers as  saying:
" 'Before the war, you iieede<l $00,000 to be a millionaire, during the war and inflation periods, $100,000; now $10,000 is enough.*"
Kiching Them Upstairs
Quite a number of Jewish member; pf the faculty of Columbia University live signed the protest against the expul. -m of Reed Harris, editor of the Goluii*l!ia Spectator. One of those signing is P Itf. (Continued on page 2)
CINCINN.'VTl.

"Some of the best jolis in the city," tlcclai-cs Mr. Tcnenbaum, wIio confined his iiivestigntion to New York City, "are closed to Jews. In many instances tbcy cannot get close enough to a prospective employer to interview him. for the mere acknowledgment of one's race is eitougli to bar one from ;i job."
In one downtown employnieiit agency, according to fhe author, twenty qualifi¬ cation cards, chosen at random, revealed that eighteen m:idc specific ret)ucsts for Christians. In another ageucj;. out of 44 cards, .1() demanded Christians. One agency executive bluntly told Mr: Te- neiibauni that a Gentile in his agency would have five times as good a chance
lo obtain a job as a Jew. all other things I)eing e(|iial. The same executive told the author that only three banks in the entire.city would employ Jews, and thai insurance comiwuics rini a close second in not wanting the latter.
Even public utilities, Mr. Teneubauni discovered, have a definite policy lo cm- |)luy Gentiles only, allowing an occa- -sicnial Jew tp "slip in" fur the. sake of a])pearanccs. Worst of all, the author rail jnto inany Jewisli firms "who refuse to hire .Jewish help I"

Here for One Week at
Loew's Ohio
Famous   Jewish  Actor  Is  a  Star  of
The Stage as Well as the
Screen
ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO
HEAR    THIS    NOTED
SPEAKER MONDAY
One of tlie great personalities of stage ahd screen, a Jew, a main who has added laughter to the lips of hundreds of thou¬ sands of men and women and children for two generations, comes to the stage at Loew's Ohio, Friday, for a week's personal appearance.
He is George Sidney, the boy who, as a product of New York's East- Side, be¬ came a name all over, the theatrical- patronizing world first as a star of the stage and then as a star of the talking- screen. He is the Cohen of the famous "Cohens and Kellys" pictures—In Hol¬ lywood, in Africa, at Atlantic City, in Scotland, and others. He is the star of "Potash  and  Perlmutter,"  having orig-

George Sidney
inatcd the stage role and then followed it an the screen. You saw him in "Higli Pressure," in "Sweet Daddies" and, in dozens of other screaniingly funny pic¬ tures. ,     .
Clean Fun
Mr. Sidney .has created a name for clean fun. Hi.s appearances on stage or screen have always been marked by inge¬ nuity ami cleverness, not coarseness. His appearance at the Ohio will be his first on a talking picture theatre stage. But lie should not be confused with tlie pre¬ sentation unit, "Forward March." That is an item in itself. Mr. Sidney, at a great expense, is being brought to Co¬ lumbus as a special added attraction. His droll tongue and adroit facial maneuvers will balance a bill that begins \vith George Rancroft and Miriam Hopkins in a iiicturc of red, flaming Russia, "The World and the Flesh."
Mr. Sidiiey's father was a shoe¬ maker. He and several other adventure¬ some youngsters entered a Harlem mu¬ seum "first night" stunt on one occasion, and the offering was unusually well re¬ ceived. He continued, performing hi arcades, alley, antl iii fact anywhere he could get an audience. Gradually his name came to Broadway, and up and down that famous street he traveled, the star of many stage hits. Perhaps his best known stage success was "Welcome Stranger."
Screen Debut
In lf)24 he made his screen debut, and has licen starrwl steadily ever since. He is a brother of Louis K. Sidney, produc¬ tion chief of all the far-flung I.oew the¬ atres.
His a|>pearance at the Ohio will mean another^ great name to add to the illus¬ trious list of stars which have faced Co¬ lnmbus behind the Loew footlights. This list includes Fred Wwring. Ted Lewis. Polly Moran, Williani Haines, Conrad Nagel, Alice White, Jean Harlow, and others.
Mr. Sidney will be interviewed Tues- rlay evening over WAIU by .Dr. Jacob Tarshish.
The death in Cleveland on April Mth of Barney Pearlman, aged 01. has brought much grief to. his friends and relatives of Cuyahoga County and else- wliere. .Mr. Pearlman was the father of Mrs. Nat J. Sand, 1024 -Berkeley Road, Columbus^' Besides Mrs. Sand, he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sophie Pearlman, three brothers, Charles, Her¬ man, and Samuel- Pearlman of Cleve¬ land ; three sons, William, Jack and Charles Pearlman of Cleveland, and the following daughters: Mrs. Milton Fried¬ man of Akron; and the Misses Nessie Eudice and Cyrenc Pearlman of,Cleve¬ land.
¦ Funeral services took place in Cleve¬ land on Friday, April 15th, at 12 o'clock. Intcrinent took place at Highland Ceme¬ tery with Rabbi Hugo Klein officiating.
Big Zionist Mass Meeting at
Southern Hotel  on
May 10th
Louis   Lipsky,   World   Zionist   Chief¬ tain, Will Be the Chief Speaker on This Occasion
Plans are being completed for the out¬ standing Jewish mass meeting of the season to be held on Tuesday, May 10th, VJ'd2, at 8 p. tn. in the ballroom of the Southern Hotel. This nieeting is the second of a series of public demonstra¬ tions on the part of local Jewry in [lor- traying their sympathy and loyalty to the cause of Palesti'nel Columbus'Jewry will recall the recent meeting in hoiior of Rabbi Silver, who touched the very hearts and souls of a great concourse ot people who eagerly demonstrated their deepest interest and afTection. for "Mother Zion."
It is anticipated that even a greater enthusiasm will be displayed when Louis Lipsky will arrive to address this meet¬ ing which will be the occasion for a grand celebration. Among the events to be celebrated at this affair will be the SOth anniversary of the founding of the "Lovers of Zion" movement, who were the beginners of colonization in Pales¬ tine; and the Tth anniversary of the founding of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem.'
Coming as these events do at the sea¬ son of the Passover rejoicing, Jews throughout the world are expressing their loyalty to the land which was the cradle of a civilization implanted by our people. In a recent message to Ameri¬ can Jewry, Mr. Lipsky states: "Every Jew who recalls with pride the memories of the ancient land must also be sym¬ pathetic to its rebuilding in our own day."
Mr. Louis Lipsky, one of the outstand¬ ing Zionist leaders of the world, was appointed as national chairman of the American Palestine Appeal for li)32. As an eloquent orator lie attracts large au¬ diences by his magnetic personality. In addition to Mr. Lipsky, the conimittee is making efforts to obtain an outstand¬ ing  rabhi in  Ohio  for  the meeting.
"The mass meeting w'ill he preceded by 1 dinner in honor of the guest speakers. Dr. B. W. Abramson will preside , as chairman for the dinner. This meeting is being arranged "by a committee rep¬ resenting local Zionist organizations such as Hadassah. tbe J, N, F., and the Columbus Zionist District. The mem¬ bers of the committee are as follows: Dr. B. W. Abramson. chairman; Mrs. Herman Lieverman, vice-chairman: Dr. Lee J. Levinger, Mrs, Lee T. Levinger, Rabbi Nathan Zelizer. Rabbi Solomon Uivlin, Mrs. W. A. Hersch. Mr. Robert Mellman. \(rs. Isadore Thall. Mr. Mor¬ ris Shimony, Mr. Bernard Levitin, Mr. A. W. Robins, Mr. Jos. Solove, and Miss DorMhy Finkelstein.
Dr. 11. W. Abramson has appointed the following as subconmiittees: Dr. Lee J. Levinger, Mrs. W. A. Hersch. Mr. Robert Mellman, for arrangements; Mr. Isadore Thall, Mrs. Lee ). Levinger. and Miss Dorothy Fiiikelstei.i. publicity.
Entertainment for the event will be nrovidcd by the local talented artist, Miss Lillian Levin, accompanied by her sister, Evelyn Levin, who will render violin selections. Dr. Lee J. Levinger will pre¬ side over the meeting.
The committee is making a special ap¬ peal to all local Jewish organizations that this date be set aside for a unified demon¬ stration of loyalty to the cause of Pales¬ tine.
Remember the date—May 10th, at the Southern Hotel.

On a train recently between Chicago and Denver I became acquainted with a Cleveland business man who is active in churcli and civic affairs. ^Wc talked iliuut the present social and moral situa¬ tion in this countiy. He made a special ciTort lo point out that the trouble the \inerican people are undergoing is due .0 lack of religious training of the younger generation, and advocated , the movement now on foot for the introduc¬ tion of Bible reading in die public schools.
With   all   due   respect  to  tlds   gentle¬ man, I hasten to declare that his attitude all  wrong, his viewpoint warped.    I blame the 18th amendment for many of our ills and not because I am a drinking mah:  for I am a total abstainer.    My travels   throughout   this   country   have   ; proved to me beyond doubt that we can not legislate people into clean living Snd ¦ high thitiking.    It is a problem^of edu¬ cation primarily.   Far from helping mat¬ ters, the 18th amendment has aggravated , them to such a degree that the people are rising up in arms .against the consequent evils,
In my college days (1916-1919) drinks ing by college men at social and frater¬ nity functions was rare, It was frowned uiwii, and condemned. Moreover, high school boys in those days were chiefly abstainers. If a boy came to a social affair under the influence of liquor, he was immediately ostracized. So much for that. ¦ I .' .    ¦
As for Bible reading in the public schools, 1 maintain that this procedure would be entirely wrong; it is un-Ameri¬ can in every respect. The Bible belongs in the home, the church, and the Snnday Schopl. It cannot be introduced into the public schools without causing friction among people of various religious views. What we need in America today Is some clear thinking and the cultivation of the spirit of tolerance, brotherly love, and religious liberty. Down with the prohi- : bition law and forward with enlighten¬ ment and social justice.
* *¦   t   '* ¦*,   *
Throughout the history of mankind there have heen bigots and fanatics, men and women who cast aspersions and sneers at those who differ with them in religious matter.^ and are ready to vilify and persecute menibers of alien creeds and tongues, men and women who yearn to. order the affairs of other;; for them, men and women who believe that they have a God-given right to dictate and dominate their neighbors.
On the other hand, we have had great apostles of freedom, men and women who realize that they are but human and who feel that deeds, not words, are the sound test, of character, men atid women who respect the right of their neighbors to work out their own, salvation without interference oh the part of others.
After all, dear reader, what moral right have I to dictate to my neighbor what he should believe, how he should live, etc.. etc.? Isn't it possible that he may be nearer the truth than 1? A - careful study of human nature will con¬ vince any open-minded person that in¬ fallibility is not as yet one of man*s fun¬ damental characteristics. Sincere, intelli¬ gent, and analytical as we may be, error inevitably creeps into our thinking. Ours is the duty to realize that perfection has not yet been reached by any one of us and to abhor tyranny and intolerance in every form.
1^       i|:       :^       >|c       «       *
A study of the history of religion has rendered mc tolerant of all creeds; for , I have found that all great religions have had behind them some exalted ideals. Confiicius. the great sage of - China; Buddha, the gentle lover of mankind whose mora! code was one of the most jierfedt the world has ever known, and Josus the lovvly Nazarene, whose char-, acter has never heen surpassdtl, have all been of inestimable service to me through their grand and lofty precepts. , I .need npt mention many other God-intoxicated teachers of humanity of various coun¬ tries and of different periods whom I venerate aud at whose feet I daily sit waiting for instruction and inspiration,
The fraternal union of the religions of the world will come when each seeks truly to know how God has revealed him¬ self in the other, and remembers the in¬ exorable law that with what judgment it judges it shall itself be judged.
