Governor Lehman's sudden decision not to, run again, notwithstanding FDR'S and Jim ^'arlcy's pressure on him to stand for a! third term, is due to the anti-Jewish attacks on him... While some political insiders claim that thc death of his brother, Arthur, tvho was the senior member of the Lehman Bros, banking house, precipi¬ tated the Governor's action, others are just as confident in insisting that for¬ mer Judge Cohalan's attack decided Lehman to retire...Another version is that Alfred E. Smith pleaded with hirii to keep him out of this year's election so as not to put Smith per¬ sonally on the spot...The true story, which will be told later, will reveal that Jewish influence was the deciding factor...

When thc waiters were ready to serve chicken to the guests, Harry Hersh¬ field sent the following note to Jim Farley: "Dear Jmi—Keep the chicken away from FDR...It'll remind him of the Scheehter case"...This is thc explanation why the astonished audi¬ ence saw thc President convulsed with laughter while reading a message sent him by Farley...The New York Republicans are planning to nominate a Jew for Congressman-at-large in the coming election...

We prcseni the -full text of an address delivered by thc Secretary of the Interior before the United Palestine Appeal banquet at the Hotel Astor, New York. Secretary Ickes* speech is of momentous significance to every element of the American people. —^The Editor.
By HAROLD L. ICKES
TN man's struggle to civilize him¬ self, his inveterate and implacable foe lias been ignorance—ignorance which from its noisome cave spawns cruelties, i n j u s 11 c e s, oppressions, prejudices and intolerance, myriad in number and of infinite variety and form. Ignorance shackled' the timid Eeet of prehistoric man as he ventured thc first faltering step along the road toward enlightenment. Ignorance has forced us back time and again, even after we had firmly set Out upon the path that, in our lucid moments, we sought to tread. Ignorance will con¬ tinue to dog our footsteps to the end of time and will otitpaticnce patience itself in waiting watchfully "for op¬ portunities to stir our latent preju¬ dices, our corroding fears and our all- too-easily .stimulated bates.
Most frequently and quickly can this be done against those whom we regard as outlatiders merely because they have differently colored skins or speak languages 'that we do not un¬ derstand or worship according to be¬ liefs that are alien to us. Although, intellectually, wc know all too well the subtly sinister methods resorted to by ignorance to bring about dis¬ cord, disunion and disharmony; al¬ though from bitter experience we have learned that ignorance, more than all other physical and spiritual forces together, has been responsible for the injustices, the cruelties .and thc savageries of mankind, neverthe¬ less, we have so far failed to face it with that courage and will, with¬ out which we will contmue to be its victims. Instead of letting in the light, wc have opposed ignorance .with ignorance, thus closing our eyes to the fact that when ignorance meets ignorance, ignorance cannot fail to
win. , -
More than any other race of men that has ever lived, so far as history records or archeological researches have disclosed, has the Jew been the victim of an ignorance that has eX' pressed itself in prejudice, persecu¬ tion, intolerance and hate. A race less generously endowed with cour¬ age would fong ago have perished if called upon to endure half of the miseries that thc Jew has stoically and philosophically withstood. Nor has the Jew been lacking in physical stamina of such a high order that he has been able to withstand hunger and thirst, the burning suns of the desert, and the freezing winds of the arctic. Yet physical stamina he might have had in that measure which has not yet been vouchsafed to men of any other race, and still he would not have been able to survive the forces that' throughout the ages, have heen unleashed to his destruction.
Above all eUe it has been the spir¬ itual qualities of the Jew that have made it possible for him to survive trials and tribulations to which even thc strongest body and the stoutest heart, lacking such spiritual vijualities, would long since have succumbed. Time after time recurring tempests of bitter human passions have smashed and torn aud battered until only the hardiest were able to survive. Look¬ ing back over the boundless sea of to.ssing, mountainous waves, upon the crests and in the troughs of which the peoples of the world from time to time have been thrown about or have floundered, ime btholds the miracle oi a single people savagely flung about whenever there was a storm and time after time apparently drowning, yet always in the end emerging with un¬ impaired vigor, ready and eager once more to resume the road leading to the promised land of the spirit.
How many nations have been born, have flowered and then have died, the wisest historian would scarcely ven¬ ture an answer. But throughout the colorful story of submerging and emerging peoples, one thread has been intricately interwoven,, but never severed. Sometimes it was snarled; sometimes it was twisted and frayed almost beyond seeming in' the hands of cruel and , malevolent men, who sought to destroy the wonderful pat¬ tern which life was determined to save from them. Merged with other strands, at times it almost became lost. Yet, lost it never has been, and in the light of its stunly survival who would be so Ijold as to predict that.

come what may, it ever can be dc¬ it royed.
This strand, whose origin lie; deeply hidden beyond the far horizon whence recorded history finally emerged, in these latter days stands out once again sharp and clear in the design of our slowly developing civi lization. It is not important whether those early shepcrds, who later were brought together by their common needs and their common aspirations, had a common origin or not. We do know that they regarded themselves as the descendants of-a line of patri¬ archs who were half shepherd-kings and half shepherd-prophets. We know that ill course of time a tribal organi¬ zation came into being. There fol¬ lowed the selling of Joseph into Egypt aud his spectacular rise into the fotse- most statesman of his age just in time to save from starvation not only the momentarily grateful Egyptians but his own kith and kin as well.
Then evil days beiell during which the Jews continued to persevere in the development of those qualities of pa¬ tience, of steadfast endeavor, and ot adherence to their belief in one God, which distinguished them from all other peoples of their time, and which, above all else, was the granitic binder that held them together, steadfast in the faith that enabled thetn to endure and to conquer, to be submerged and to rise again, during the cruel cen¬ turies that lay ahead of them. At last throwing off the bondage of Egypt, during forty, years of wander¬ ing in the desert m search of thc promised land, they had further tragic opportunity to develop to a still higher degree tlieir great qualities of heart and spirit. Then in the promised laud, having at last attained it after great travail, they built and main- tabled -thtr lyutstanding-civiKzation in thc known world, a civilization that has profoundly influenced all succeed¬ ing ones and ytWl continue to furnish the woof for" the warp of the civiliza¬ tions that are to come.
But, once again, just when it seemed that they had attained heights upon which they might dwell securely forever, thcy were brought fape to face with the greatest tragedy in their history as a nation. As the result of schisms from within and of the pres¬ sure of covetous foes from without, Jerusalem fell and Palestine became for centuries merely a cherished memory to the Jews scattered in all parts of the civilized world.
Always have the Jews been people of spiritual vision. It is their prophets and their holy men that thcy have revered throughout the ages—not warriors, not conquerors of foreign lands, not merchants nor bankers nor lawyers. Thcy ever have had leaders of courageous vision to sustain their hopes when the road was the roughest and the night the dark¬ est. The body of the Jew might be making bricks without s|raw for his oppressive taskmasters in Egypt, but his spirit was always projected toward the promised land. From the day when he was driven from Jerusalem, during all of those ages which, while murky even for those newer civiliza¬ tions newly emerging from the bar¬ barism of' the great forests Europe, were Stygian in their blackness for the friendless and the outcast Jew, was there mixed with his longing for the promised land that had beeh won and lost to hnn the unquenchable hope that it was still the promised land of the Jew of some future generation,
And just as the Jew, escaping finally from Egypt, after long years f'ound his way to thc promised land, si> latterly the far-off descendants of this same people once again have re¬ traced their steps to that same prom¬ ised land. Here indeed is the fulfill¬ ment of the destiny, this conquering of what seemed to be fate itself, which has hrought us here to acclaim what has already been accomplished toward the rehabilitation of the home- lan{( of the Jew, while giving,our en¬ couragement and support to a move¬ ment which must not be permitted to fail.
With all of their vision the Jews would have failed to take even the farthest outpost of tlieir objective if the social idealism which inspired them had not been supj>orted by prac- (Continued on page 2)

TO ADDRESS SOKOLOW
MEMORIAL MEETING AT
BROAD ST, TEMPLE
Black Legion Exposed As Secret
Organization of Anti-Semitic
Terrorists
DETROIT (WNS)—Existence of a qation-wide, secret, terroristic or¬ ganization pledged to resort to mur¬ der if necessary to carry out its avowed aim of warring on Jews, Catholics, Negroes, Communists was disclosed here with the arrest of IG of its members on the charge of hav¬ ing killed Charles A. Poole, a 32- ycar-old WPA worker. Described as "tbe strong arm squad" of the Ku Klux Klan, which was supposed to be moribund, the organisation is oflli- ciaUy called thc United Brotherhood of America, but because of the black hoods with the insignia of skull and cross-bones worn by its members is popularly known as the Black LcRion. The cold-blooded killing of Poole vvas ascribed by .the men under arrest as revenge for his having beaten his wife, a charge denied by Mrs. Poole. Thc real reason for Poole's death is believed to be the fact that he had revealed secrets of the organisation. The fact that he, a Catholic, was married to a Protestant, may also have motivated the murder.
Preliminary investigation of tiic oath, ritual* and activities of the Black Legion by Captain Ira H. M^armon of the State Police showed tbat members were pledged to take up arms against Jews, Catholics, Negroes and Com¬ munists. Literature found in the or¬ ganization's meeting place and the testimony of the men under arrest confirmed Captain Mannon's asser¬ tion. Membership in the Black Le¬ gion was open only to former mem¬ bers of the Ku Khix Klan. The memhership application of the cult, which is" suspected of having killed sonic 50 people in various parts of Michigan, \hows that only Protestants
to, carry out the instructions of thfeif oflicers. In renting meeting quarters thc organization used the name of the ¦ Wolverine Republican League, which has UO connection with thc Republican ,. Party.
In searching the homes of members of thc Black Legion, thc police found documentary evidence that it had worked to place Protestants in public office throughout Michigan and had opposed thc election or appointment of Jews and Catholics to office, The application card signed by members sa>s that thc organization "is organ¬ ized and known as the United Broth¬ erhood of America. Its membership is composed entirely of male white Protestants. The object of this Or¬ der is lo promote, protect and preserve Protestantism, to create and guard the welfare of the Protestant people so^ cially as welb as politically. This Order owes no allegiance to any For¬ eign or World power except that of God and of the United States of America."
It was also rumored'that the Black Legion was indirectly linked to the Share-tlie-Wealth movement of thc late Hucy Long. But Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, present leader of Long's movement, denied that his organiza¬ tion had any connection with the Black Legion and dcclare<l that he branded "as un-American and a positive men¬ ace anj thing that looks like religious prejudice or racial antipathy. The organization of wliich I am the head, with 10,000,000 members, will not tol¬ erate the rise and return of any iiooded order. There is no place for the Ku Klux Klan or any of its oflr- shoots in America It vv as Huey *Loiiq; who threw the Klan out of
could join and that members swore | Louisiana."

Nahum Sokolow, who died suddenly on May 17, was one of the founders of the Zionist movement, working to¬ gether with Dr. Theodore Herzl for the re-establishment of a Jewish Na¬ tional Homeland, Sokulow rendered mcalculable service. in the political, cultural and in other hcids of Zionist endeavor.

ICKES TN man's struggle to civilize him¬ self, his inveterate and implacable foe lias been ignorance—ignorance which from its noisome cave spawns cruelties, i n j u s 11 c e s, oppressions, prejudices and intolerance, myriad in number and of infinite variety and form. Ignorance shackled' the timid Eeet of prehistoric man as he ventured thc first faltering step along the road toward enlightenment. Ignorance has forced us back time and again, even after we had firmly set Out upon the path that, in our lucid moments, we sought to tread. Ignorance will con¬ tinue to dog our footsteps to the end of time and will otitpaticnce patience itself in waiting watchfully "for op¬ portunities to stir our latent preju¬ dices, our corroding fears and our all- too-easily .stimulated bates. Most frequently and quickly can this be done against those whom we regard as outlatiders merely because they have differently colored skins or speak languages 'that we do not un¬ derstand or worship according to be¬ liefs that are alien to us. Although, intellectually, wc know all too well the subtly sinister methods resorted to by ignorance to bring about dis¬ cord, disunion and disharmony; al¬ though from bitter experience we have learned that ignorance, more than all other physical and spiritual forces together, has been responsible for the injustices, the cruelties .and thc savageries of mankind, neverthe¬ less, we have so far failed to face it with that courage and will, with¬ out which we will contmue to be its victims. Instead of letting in the light, wc have opposed ignorance .with ignorance, thus closing our eyes to the fact that when ignorance meets ignorance, ignorance cannot fail to win. , - More than any other race of men that has ever lived, so far as history records or archeological researches have disclosed, has the Jew been the victim of an ignorance that has eX' pressed itself in prejudice, persecu¬ tion, intolerance and hate. A race less generously endowed with cour¬ age would fong ago have perished if called upon to endure half of the miseries that thc Jew has stoically and philosophically withstood. Nor has the Jew been lacking in physical stamina of such a high order that he has been able to withstand hunger and thirst, the burning suns of the desert, and the freezing winds of the arctic. Yet physical stamina he might have had in that measure which has not yet been vouchsafed to men of any other race, and still he would not have been able to survive the forces that' throughout the ages, have heen unleashed to his destruction. Above all eUe it has been the spir¬ itual qualities of the Jew that have made it possible for him to survive trials and tribulations to which even thc strongest body and the stoutest heart, lacking such spiritual vijualities, would long since have succumbed. Time after time recurring tempests of bitter human passions have smashed and torn aud battered until only the hardiest were able to survive. Look¬ ing back over the boundless sea of to.ssing, mountainous waves, upon the crests and in the troughs of which the peoples of the world from time to time have been thrown about or have floundered, ime btholds the miracle oi a single people savagely flung about whenever there was a storm and time after time apparently drowning, yet always in the end emerging with un¬ impaired vigor, ready and eager once more to resume the road leading to the promised land of the spirit. How many nations have been born, have flowered and then have died, the wisest historian would scarcely ven¬ ture an answer. But throughout the colorful story of submerging and emerging peoples, one thread has been intricately interwoven,, but never severed. Sometimes it was snarled; sometimes it was twisted and frayed almost beyond seeming in' the hands of cruel and , malevolent men, who sought to destroy the wonderful pat¬ tern which life was determined to save from them. Merged with other strands, at times it almost became lost. Yet, lost it never has been, and in the light of its stunly survival who would be so Ijold as to predict that.

This strand, whose origin lie; deeply hidden beyond the far horizon whence recorded history finally emerged, in these latter days stands out once again sharp and clear in the design of our slowly developing civi lization. It is not important whether those early shepcrds, who later were brought together by their common needs and their common aspirations, had a common origin or not. We do know that they regarded themselves as the descendants of-a line of patri¬ archs who were half shepherd-kings and half shepherd-prophets. We know that ill course of time a tribal organi¬ zation came into being. There fol¬ lowed the selling of Joseph into Egypt aud his spectacular rise into the fotse- most statesman of his age just in time to save from starvation not only the momentarily grateful Egyptians but his own kith and kin as well. Then evil days beiell during which the Jews continued to persevere in the development of those qualities of pa¬ tience, of steadfast endeavor, and ot adherence to their belief in one God, which distinguished them from all other peoples of their time, and which, above all else, was the granitic binder that held them together, steadfast in the faith that enabled thetn to endure and to conquer, to be submerged and to rise again, during the cruel cen¬ turies that lay ahead of them. At last throwing off the bondage of Egypt, during forty, years of wander¬ ing in the desert m search of thc promised land, they had further tragic opportunity to develop to a still higher degree tlieir great qualities of heart and spirit. Then in the promised laud, having at last attained it after great travail, they built and main- tabled -thtr lyutstanding-civiKzation in thc known world, a civilization that has profoundly influenced all succeed¬ ing ones and ytWl continue to furnish the woof for" the warp of the civiliza¬ tions that are to come. But, once again, just when it seemed that they had attained heights upon which they might dwell securely forever, thcy were brought fape to face with the greatest tragedy in their history as a nation. As the result of schisms from within and of the pres¬ sure of covetous foes from without, Jerusalem fell and Palestine became for centuries merely a cherished memory to the Jews scattered in all parts of the civilized world. Always have the Jews been people of spiritual vision. It is their prophets and their holy men that thcy have revered throughout the ages—not warriors, not conquerors of foreign lands, not merchants nor bankers nor lawyers. Thcy ever have had leaders of courageous vision to sustain their hopes when the road was the roughest and the night the dark¬ est. The body of the Jew might be making bricks without s raw for his oppressive taskmasters in Egypt, but his spirit was always projected toward the promised land. From the day when he was driven from Jerusalem, during all of those ages which, while murky even for those newer civiliza¬ tions newly emerging from the bar¬ barism of' the great forests Europe, were Stygian in their blackness for the friendless and the outcast Jew, was there mixed with his longing for the promised land that had beeh won and lost to hnn the unquenchable hope that it was still the promised land of the Jew of some future generation, And just as the Jew, escaping finally from Egypt, after long years f'ound his way to thc promised land, si> latterly the far-off descendants of this same people once again have re¬ traced their steps to that same prom¬ ised land. Here indeed is the fulfill¬ ment of the destiny, this conquering of what seemed to be fate itself, which has hrought us here to acclaim what has already been accomplished toward the rehabilitation of the home- lan{( of the Jew, while giving,our en¬ couragement and support to a move¬ ment which must not be permitted to fail. With all of their vision the Jews would have failed to take even the farthest outpost of tlieir objective if the social idealism which inspired them had not been supj>orted by prac- (Continued on page 2) Rabbi Bcrntlrd Zeiger Rabbi Bernard ^tij^cr, of Flint, Mich, ,will be Dirttlor of B'nai B'rith's eleventh Ililkl Foimdatiou, to be opened in September at the University of -Nortli Carolina, it has been announced by "flic B'nai ETritl: Hillel Foundation Comniission.
