Sinclair Presents Fox
"Uploii Sinclair presents William Fox." Such i.s the name oi a new optis iu.st oft' the, press that may l>e expected to create soinctlung of a sensation. Wil¬ liam Fox, it appears, has made use of Upton' Sinclair to reveal the story of liis crash,
Fox claims that Wall St, formed a ¦conspiracy against him to bring ahout his downfall.
¦ i^ut it appears, in the end, that Fox lived up to his name^ The crash came along, and those who had forced liim lo sell out, found that they were greater losers  tlicreby than Fox.
Moreover, the fox, after being turned out of his own lairs, turned bear, ou the tnarkct, and claims to have cleared ten million in that role.
So  the story ends well  for  the. Fox.
Sinclair's story 'of William Fox . re¬ calls a similar story in Theotlorc Dreiser's "Twelve Men," the story of a New York Jewish traction magnate, who rose from the slums to be the all- powerful traction power in New York. ' At his height, thi.s Jewish magnate built himself a mansion that beggared royal palaces by comparisons. The gardens that surrounded the mansion looked like nothing except a chapter from some fairy tale., The Jewish mag¬ nate had a secret passion for literary life, and in a compensatory manner for his own literary frustration, made his home the rendezvous for the elite of the literary and artistic world.
But the Jew's power displeased the powers of finance, and they, according to Dreiser, set themselves to encom¬ pass his fall. And they did it very suc¬ cessfully.
But Fox, it appears, was wilier. I-Ic can, if we may believe Sinclair's story, thumb his nose at his foes and say; Behold, that which you conspired against me has fallen upon your own head. Sclah 1
A Futuristic Picture
As they tell it, it was in the year 1940. I mean just that—1!)-10. The Five Year Plan had been completed. Everything Sovictish was hunkydory. Joseph Stalin "contemplated the unfolded scene with satisfaction.
Everything, as I have said, was okay, and it was in the year 19-10.
Some Jews from Moscow were zoom¬ ing across the Russian airways. As they put   Moscow   some   100   miles   behind,
¦ Chayim looks,out from his airplane and whom does he see" but Shmooel air- planing in reverse direction.
"Whore   ard  ylou   going,   Shmooel?" cried Qiayim. "To 'Gharkow," returned' Shmooel. "Vos   gent   ihr   epcs   kein   Charkow," continued  Chayim, recalling ,that  Char¬ kow was A distance of over,500 miles.
"Mir hoben gehert," said Shmdoel, az men git pUtter dorten." Sound Advice Another storyette that they are telling these days concerns' the young man who came to New York, from' Mil¬ waukee.
The young man was financially em¬ barrassed. He wired home.to his par¬ ents :
'.'Broke. Have no friends. What .^l.all 1 do?" ,
Forthwith there came a reply from his parents:
"Make friends quick."
At Ease In Zion James Waterman Wise tnourns that Zionism has become too easy. He would almost wish, he adds, that it might be¬ come as un respectable as in the old days to be a Zionist.
The disappearance from the movement of the sacrificial element has tendetl to a- dilution of Zionist fealty. Such is the reasoning. Mr. Wise would mend matters by trying to precipitate the American movement into controversy. He feels that American Zionists should have the various schools of Zionism— Labor, Revisionist, Mizrachist—present their respective sides, and that the re¬ sultant temperature of the controversy might warm^ up the inoyement,
We^ are, in general, sympathetic with the idea of presenting the various schools of Zionist thought, but we are not apprehensive on the score of the need of some opposition. What is the matter for instance with Hitler for that purpose ?
The Lord, it seems to us, will always watch over his chosen Israel. He will not fail to provide ua with temperature. Story Is Challenged And speaking of the ease of being a Zionist these days, a recent reference in this column to the alleged removal some years ai?o, from the Hebrew Un¬ ion College faculty of several of its staff on the charge of being Zionists, has brought a denial from Ur. JuHiis Morgenstern, President of the Hebrew Union College.
In a letter to Dr, Joshua Bloch, chief of the Jewish Division of -the New York Public Library, Dr. Morgenstern contends that the question of Zionism never entered into the issue at all. We are willing to accept Dr. Mor- , genstern's word for it, and it Is only fair to $ay, that in any event, the matter does not reflect on Dr. Morgenstern, as the incident antedated by some years hia own presidency.

It is interesting to note that Mrf, Maier ranks among the leading citizens of Iowa, having establi'^hed her reputa¬ tion by her many public-spirited activi¬ ties and-her undcviating loyalty to the highest principles of her ancestral faith. As the Des Moines Tribune declares, "thousands of persons have felt the in¬ fluence of her spirit at the Community Center Children of all races have re¬ ceived the benefit of her endeavor. Women and girls of all racial groups hold her m high esteem Men have been chal¬ lenged by her forceful thinking and speaking.    She has  helped  lay  a solid ¦<
foundation for better atizenship." I trpst that God will guide and bless thia fine daughter m Israel She certainly has been living a life replete With good *

Today   Miss   Szold   is  respected th^ ¦< world  over   for  her culture,  her high idealism,  and  her contributions to thp welfare of the Jewish people.   Her homv . town is Baltimore, Md, where she was born on Dec. 21. ISfiO    Thh occasion of her 70th birthday was widely celebl^ted.

Miss Szold was president of Hadaasui from its inception when its membership consisted of a handful meeting at h^ _ home, until 1938, since which time she ' has been honorary president.
