THE YELLOW DANGER
Jews in the Chinese War Zone By BERTRAM JONAS
While an anxioub world watchts thc development of Ihc Sino Japanese conflict, World Jewry is also verj much concerned ab«ul the Browing Jewibh commuiut> in China. With the exception of Palestine, the United Statea and Lalin-Amenca, Cliina lus welcomed more Jowibli immigrants in the lasl half decade than any other couiilry in the world. Will thc Far Eabtem gates close as a result of the Ja|iancse iniperialii.t aggression'' This article Biirvc>s Chinese Jewry as it it. loday—The Editor.
WILL thc maleiolent fate which through cnjj strife, rampant nationalism and economic dis¬ location has closed one avenue of refuge after another to the millions of harassed JewS of Central and Eastern Lurope m the post war jcars now bir the gates of China too to those who eagerly seek new homes? The undc- elarcd war between China and Japan, which burst nlto flames while a jittery world kept an anxious eje cocked on the political djnamile keg m Europe makes this more thin an academic question to world Jcwty. China is to- di} one of thc \er\ few lands to which Jewish iminigiation his flowed in recentycars unhampered by ]>oIiti cal or economic restrictions. Precise figures are not available, but it js a fict that excluding Palestine the United States and Latin America China has absorbed more Jewish ini migrants in the last half decade than any other country. In view of what happened to the pro.<;pects of Jewish settlement in Spain as a result of the civil war, the.steady shrinkage of Jew ish immigration opportunities in most of the Latm-Amencan republics as a result of a rising tide of nationalism and the closing of the gates of South Africa to Jewish newcomers, it is ob vious that the Sino-Japahese war .may iiican the end of further Jewish settle- merit in China
Chinese     Jewr\     today     numbers lo,llOO    Most  of them  are pO'it-war settlers   from   Eastern   Kurope   and ¦"Russia    The  laigcsl Jewibh  coniinu niti' is  in  Shanghai,  which' numbers 7,a00 Jewish residents   Next in size i» , the Tientsin Jewish coniinunity, whose i,100 Jews are in the midst of the raging war.   There are also substan¬ tial Jewish settlements in Canton and Hongkong  (.which are far fro.rii the war  .ione),   Hankow    Nanking   and Peiping. The Jews; of China are prob . ably    the    most   diversified   element ¦ among the foreign population. In Kai- feiig-fu are the remnants of the Per sian Jews who settled in China in the llth century A. D. ¦ Little remains of the ¦  once-flourishing   Jewish^   colony there, except the foundations of the ancient synagogue and a,handful  of ; slant-eyed, pig-tailed Chinese who have a  vague  idea  that  sometime  in  the dim past they belonged to Israel. .The bulk of the "Jewish population is, of Russian origin, while about ten per cent hail from Western Europe, Rou .   mania, England, India, Iraq and the United States
The modern Jewish settlement dates from the 1850's, when the Sassoon and Kadoorie families, wealthy Indian, and Iraqi, Jewish Industrialists, built the first synagogue iu Shanghai for, their Jewish employes. British Jews who settled in Hongkong when England acquired control of that city in the 1840's laid the basis for the Jewish community there. Until the World War, however, there was no Jewish community in China \yorthy of the name. The growth .of the present Jewish settlement commenced with the Russian Revolution, when thousands of middle-class Russian Jews sought ¦ safety ,in. nearby Manchuria, then a part of China. They settled in Harbin, , which became the largest Jewish com¬ munity in the ^ar East. Conimunal and religious institutions sprang up over night. Zionism gained a strong foothold. All signs pointed to stability and a hopeful future. Then came the Japanese invasion, the establishment of i the puppet state of Manchukuo and tbe White Guard Russian terrorism. These deveiopments contributed to a rapid decline in the Jewish community. Synagogues were closed. Economic suffering increased and the Jewish population began to leave. Unwilling or unable to return to Russia, thc Harbin Jews went South to Tientsin, Shanghai and other Chinese metropo¬ lises. The Harbin Jewish commiinity still exists—there are sOme lO.flOO Jews there yet--^but their lot is unen¬ viable, harassed as they are by eco¬ nomic insecurity and anti-Semitic ter¬ rorism.
In China proper the Russian Jews began life anew with all prospects of success. In Tientsin they established thc  flourishing fur industry, making
 f_	
tbe city the focal.point of the Chinese and Mancliuriaii ftir trade. They also founded synagogues, a i^iohist organ!' zation and two periodicals in the Riis- snn hnguagc In coinmtrec Innkiiij, and the' professions tliey had little dilhculty in gaining a foolhuld. Most ofthe Jewish resideiils. of Tientsin are concentrated in the. British .French, Japanese, American and other foreign concession^. Consequently tbey have .tlius'far been, spared most of th.e horrors of, thc bombardment which struck the Chinese quarter
In Shanghai the Russian Jews found a fairly-wcll established Sepha:rdic community in existence. It was there rli it thc htc NEU Lrta founded Israel's Messenger, the* first .Jewish publication in the Far'East: Under I tra s leadership the Stph irdic com¬ munity, which, enjoyed the munificent patronage. of the Hardoons, Sassoons and Kadoories, made rapid strides. Thc Russian Jiew comers together with their Engh'^h and American co-rcli- giouists, joined, to establish a B'nai B'rith Lodge, a Jewish cliib, a Zionist organization' and many other com- iniinal .agencies; Untir the advent of the Nazi regime ih Gci'many in 1935, 'the Jews of Shanghai, Tientsin,; Hong¬ kong and other Chinese cities lacd an uneventful life. They were largely cut off from, the main , .stream of Jewish (Couliiiucd on page 1)

;Sometbing of, the high regard in which the program is held is evi¬ denced, by*" a communication from Joseph Rics, educational director of WLW. in connection with the plans for the continuance of the program through tbe coming year. "We con¬ tinue to bear much favorable com¬ ment on this prograrn and especially frcim musicians who mention the high musical standard which has been main¬ tained," to quote Mr. Ries.

The service ' follows the Union Prayer book. The music of the solo¬ ist and choir is traditionally Jewish, sung altogether by Jews aiid Jewesses, directed by Miss Fred who is con¬ sidered one of the ablest choir leaders.

Israel
WARSAW (WNS)—Claiming that the Polish gypsies are descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, King Witles of the Polish gypsies has called on the Polish government and the Jewish community here to provide him with funds to transport his tribe to Palestine.
