By the Way
By David Schwartz
Arhmoroff
There   wa.s   something   Ilamiltonesque about the late Dr. Arlo.soroff, for whom Zionism is now mourning. _    Hamilton,'you reinember, was the rca.1- ¦ist,   the   man   who   could   explore   the realms of  fancy, but alway.s came down in the end--the man \vho made the gov- ernineiit of tlicse United States a work¬ ing organism.    He didn't Hkc the state governments—and   what   did   he   do   to '   .show it?    He befriended tbem—lie took uver their debts, that is, his Assumption . Bill provided for the nation taking over the liability for the bonds that the vari¬ ous states had Issued.
Well, what was tlie result? The rc- |u]t was just as Hamilton had expected |-tbat the states were dealt a severe filow. The people who held the bonds of the various states—most of them the leaders in their communities—began to ¦get enthusiastic about the nation instead of about the states.
And that of course was what Hamil¬ ton wanted—tl? subordinate the states to tbe nation.
His German Plan It may be stretching things to see an analogy between this and what Dr. Ar- lo.surofT proposed to do in the case of Germany. He of course was iriterested ill getting tbe German Jews into Pales¬ tine. But, Germany will not of course let tbe Jews take their money out of the country. So he proposed a deal with Germany, that an agreement be reached in various ways—I do not Intend'to go iiitn ;dl details—but in general, it was that Palestine should bind itself to buy German e.'cports to the end that the ¦monej' which left ¦Cernian> through tliese Jews settling in Palestine would be returned'through its trade cbaiinds'.' Thus, Germany's money basis would not be upset. ¦
I It .seems to me that the fact that, when |;veryliody could do. nothing- but vent pro¬ tests against Germany, Arlosoroff went to Germany to negotiate with tbe enemy, on a basis of reason,'and not emotion, is the highest proof of his statesmanship. , Other Resemblances But he was always like that He was like that in 1923, when as a young man he got up and told the World Zionist Congress that they didn't know wliat they were doing, and he outlined a plan for colonization by means of an inter¬ national loan. And more and more.' we I have beeii talking about an international j loan, and finally, it will probably be | done.
Arlosoroff was twenty-five then. And tberc, too, he vvas like Hamilton, who at twenty-five was military aide to Wash¬ ington and at thirty was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention.
And there was something too, in Ar-. lo.soroff's taking oH that reminds one of the great American, Hiimilton's life was ended—prematurely by a duch It wasn't really altogether necessary, even by tbe standards of his day, for Hamil¬ ton to have fought that duel. But it was his way— a grand indifference to per¬ sonal ends. ''
And so Arlosoroff at the end. . His wife warns him that they are being fol¬ lowed—but lie says he doe's not.care— and he is assassinated.
Heil Arty! I sec by the papers that iti ^"ntlenn. j by the name of Art Smith has atarl:!d an orgiinization in Philadelphia called the Khaki Shirts, and that Art proposes to be their leader and finally dictator of the United States.
I had thought that Hucy Long had made reservations on the dictatorship, but it's alright with me, if Art wants it. But I had hoped that if something like this was started, it was time shirts were forg^olten for some other piece of clothing. The Fascists of Italy have black .shirts, the Hitlerites brown shirts. Now why not, Art, instead of shirts— (Contiiiue<l on page '1)
Leib Lange, Prominent Cantor
from Moscow, to Sing Here
This Week End
Leib Lange, the widely heralded cantor, from Moscow, Ru.ssia, arrived in Colum¬ bus two days ago and will conduct Sab¬ bath services this evening at 8 P. M., and tomorrow morning (Saturday) at S:;JO A. M., at the Beth Jacob syna¬ gogue, wliere a large gathering of lovers of liturgical niu.s;ic.arc escpe'ctcd to greet bini. Th'osc In attendance will no doubt be thrilled by bis soulful interpretations uf the noble pa.ssages, which, although re- [leated every day and every \yeck, remain a fountain of inspiration to the pious Jew, whose hope and courage are undi- ininishcd in spile of tortures and perse¬ cutions.
l'"or those who for some reason will be unable to hear Cantor Lanf^c at the Sabbath services, a special evening serv¬ ice and concert has been arranged for Sunday night, July 2nd, at 8 P. M., at the same synagogue, wberc Jewish folk songs, Hebrew chants and various other renditions of wide popular appeal will be presented' in the inimitable style of Cantor- Lange, and which is certain to make one forget the heat, tbe depression, or any other unpleasant feeling with which we may be annoyed these days.
Mr. Lange states that the plight of the rabbis, cantors, and others affiliated with the synagogue in Russia 'is a very sad one. The youth of Russia is imbued with a feeling of disrespect towards cvcrytbihg which smacks of religion, and as a consequence, there are innumerable rabbis who would gladly, exchange their stations in life with that of a plain workingman, whose well-being is care¬ fully looked alter and of prime inipor- tance-to the irovernment and state. Cantor I-ange avers that he saw cantors of na- tifinal repute sell shoe-strings. on the streets', in order to eke out a subsistence of some kind, '.
Cantor Lange is under the manage¬ ment of the Chicago Coiicert Bureau, of which J. Hyman is the head, and locally is coming under the auspice's of tbe Jew¬ ish Macciibees of Columbus.

Asks    Europe's    Jews    Be Moved in Body to An¬ other Continent
Member of Nazi Brain Trust Actually
Urges, "Decent" Solution of
Jewish Question.
(J.T.A.   Special  Correspondence)
BERLIN, June Jf^—Solution 6i the Jewish question by settlement of the Jews of Europe in a R]>ecial territory in South America or South Africa, is recom¬ mended by Dr. Ll'ers, Nazi theoretician, in an article in. the National Soclalistlsche Monathcfte. Dr. Leers suggests this method as a "decent" way to solve the problem of the Jews of Germany and other countries which perseciite them.
"Only barbarians would coiid,uct a figbt against the Jews with a view to. their annihilation," says Dr. Leers, "and it is the duty of the, civilized races to solve the Jewish.probicm, not by methods of hatred, but hy,ni6re deceiit ways,"
Palestine as a solution of the Jewish problem is discarded by tbjs Nazi thinker, because it could not hold all the Jews in the world, because, of the Arab question and other complications.
If the Jews were alL settled in non'- European countries, Dr, Leers states, they, and Eiiro])e, would be better offj Tbe Jewish question in Europe would be ended and the Jews.would become rooted to the land on a footing of equality with other nations.
"But something must be done so that tbe Jewish problem shoukl be solved de¬ cently,"' be asserts.

The l-'orty-fourth Annual Convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis which met in Milwaukee from June twenty-second through the twenty- fifth, concluded its sessions by the adop¬ tion of a number of significant resolu¬ tions and reports. The Conference ex¬ pressed its joy and satisfaction that unity is being effected among the various groups and parties within American Jewish life, and recommended that this tendency be pursued vigorously not .only in the matter of relief for stricken Jews of Europe, but also looking toward a united front of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jewry in its expression of Ibe attitude of Judaisn;.oii questions of social and economic justice, and the uni¬ fication of American Jewish life.
One of the early features of the Con¬ ference was tlic Religious Education Day at the Friday afternoon session, at which papers were read on "An Approach to a Curriculum of Religious Education foi a Reform Jewish Community in the Middle West," by Dr. Samuel H. Marko- witz, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and a sec-^ ond piiper on "Recent Contributions to Jewish J^ducation" by Dr. Harry S. Comins of the Department of Synagogue aiid School Extension of the. Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Dr. Markowitz' study indicated that in typi¬ cal cities-of the Middle West, the pri- .niary interest of the .Jewish community appeared to lie in tbe field of Gentile- Jewish relations and therefore a proper approach to th'e problem of adequate re¬ ligious education must start/from this point to satisfy that fundamental need in the Jewish life of such communities. Dr. Comins presented an interesting sum¬ mary and' description of new literature for Jewish Education in process of .pub¬ lication by his Department.
Dr. Bernard Heller of Ann Arbor, Michigan, read on Saturday evening, a [laper on "The Concept of .God in Jew¬ ish Life and Literature," in which he stated that there were' certain constants that featured the Jewish concept of God as revealed in Jewish Life and Literal- ture, that He is believed to be more than merely a subjective idea or a ibere sym¬ bol of value—He is objective and His reality is independent of man. Dr. Hel-., ler said' further that. Jewish .X-ife and f-iterature reveal that God is not an in¬ animate power or a vague and abstract'; lirinciple, but a personality who possesses ' .unlimited consciousness and is guided by a. plan of tbe hir^hest ethical significance, and that there was a unique relation!»hip by virtue of these factors, between God and Israel. Dr. Heller concluded his pap„cr by showing, that these beliefs are tenable with the tested creeds and cur¬ rents of modern scientific thought.
On Sunday morning, Dr. Israel Bettan of the Hebrew, Union College, In his paiJcr, "Israel and the Synagogue," pointed out the inseparable association of God, Torah and Israel, and assailed those Jews who attempt to niinimlzc the Im¬ portance 6f the Synagogue as the center of Jewish life. "Judaism," he said, "is not a national religion; it is the religion that has made the Jew into a nation, and the Synagogue is the home of the Jewi.sb spirit, and the preservative ele¬ ment in Jewish life."
At the Friday evening services. Dr. Isaac Landman of Brooklyn, New York, in this Conference lecture, pointed out that the chief issue of the Jews of Amer¬ ica, today is the Integration of Jewish racialists and Jewish nationalists into the Synagogue. He deplored the fact that tbe Jewish laity is doing practically no thinking about Judaism, and Urged as a corrective to this situation, that intelli¬ gent and sincere effort be put forth to re¬ educate the Jew not only during child- (Continued on page 4)   .
