. Dr. Baruch Braunstein, popular student and. leader of Jewish student affairs while a student at Ohio State University, from which he was grad¬ uated in 1926, has just,written a new book. THE CHUETAS OF MA¬ JORCA (pronounced chop-wetas). It- is being' piublished by the Mennonite Publishing House, of Scottdale, Pa, His many, local friends will be happy to: hear of this new work. After graduating from.. Ohio State Uni¬ versity, he: entered the Jewish Institute of Religion, from which . he , was graduated- as Rabbi; thereafter com¬ pleting his work for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Columbia University. Before coming to Wheel¬ ing, ¦ W. Va., where he now serves as: Rabbi, .Dr. Braunstein was for five years the Counselor tp, Jewish Stii- dentsjn. Columbia Umversity. He is increasingly becoming known as lecturer and writer. Although this book represetits his first full-Iengtii work, his writings have appeared iix many newspapers and magazifies here and.'in Europe, including the. New York Tirties, The Travel Magazine, The Churchman, the Christian Educa¬ tion, The Religious Education Maga- dne, B'nai B'rith Magazine, The Lon¬ don Jewish Chronicle, as well as in many learned magazines.
In THE CHUETAS ,bF MA¬ JORCA Dr. Braunstein presents the life and history, of the long-forgotten group' of "secret-Jews" living ort the magnificent Mediterranean, which has become such a mecca for American travelers in the last few years", For the past eight yearis Dr. Braunstein has ransacked libraries' and archives in Spaiti, Majorca, France, England and elsawhcre in search of the ma¬ terials ijor this study. It tells the story of the re-discovery of these an¬ cient people, who have, been utterly forgotten by the western world. This is the first book in English tb tell of the Chuetas, and it fs rapidly b^com- iing to be recognized^ as the authorita¬ tive book: in any. language.
This book should command the at¬ tention, of the Jew interested in this highly exciting chapter of Jewish his¬ tory, of which this book is perhap^t the first authentic record. It will also interest the general reader because of new light it throws upon the re¬ sponsibility of the Catholic Church in the founding of the Spanish Inquisi'^ tion. Dr. Braunstein has taken the position that the Catholic Church is not to be censured' for its part in the establishment of the inquisition be; cause in reality the responsibility for its Establishment rests upon Ferdinand and Isabella, who used the Church to amass authority and power into, their own hands. Many friends of Dr. Braunstein will want to acquire this book, as an excellent addition to their libraries.
FINDS  GERMANY   ON
VERGE OF ECONOMIC
CRACKUP
NEW.YORK (WNS)—Thc iman- cial wizardry that has kept thc Tlilrd licich from bankruptcy and complete collapse is failing and Gcriiiuiiy is on thc verge of complete disaster. This IS the conclusion reaclicd by William Philip Simms, foreign editor of the Stripps-Howard ncw-ipaijcis, in a se¬ ries of cabled articles from Berlin. Mr. Simms finds that Germany's'gold rebcrve is virtually dcptetccl, that her cre<lit is gone, .that her. much publi¬ cized economy recovery has been achieved at the Expense of a cata¬ strophic drain on governinent funds and that the magician's wand waved by Dr. Hjalmaf Schacht is fast losing its potency. Analyzing thc .weaknesses of Germany's economic .iet-np, Mr. Simms asserts , that thc day is not far off when the .Gertiian people will awake to."find 'their, jobs gone,'tlieir savings accounts frozen, their life in¬ surance policies unrealizable save in steci and. cement, fortifications and poison gas."
