The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-02-04

Five weeks ago many Of you met
in this hall to consider the misery
of the Jews in the war zone, and
to aid in relief measures This
week, under the proclamation of
our President, a special effort will
be made throughout the United
States to raise funds for that pur-
pose The need is urgent The
matter is one of life or death. To
give quickly and to give generously
is imperative. Each of you doubtless
will do this. For you must realize
that the relief funds, though large.
will still leave thousands of our
brethren in danger of starvation.
The Cause of Jewish Misery.
But though we may give ever so
generously in money, we shall still
fail to do our part in this great
crisis unless we seek not merely to
alleviate the suffering of individual
Jews, but to end the wrongs to the
Jewish people, We cannot cope with
individual suffering unless we sue
coed in removing the cause Of that
suffering. And the fundamental
cause of Jewish misery is not the
war. The war is but an accident
which has made the long existing
misery obvious to the whole world.
The war has acted as a magnifying
glass, intensifying the suffering in
some places ten or hundred fold;
so that now none, except the blind,
can fail to see it, The underlying
cause of Jewish misery is ever the
same 1t is now the same as it was
before the war And after the war
is over the misery will continue
further unless the conditions I'M
der which more than one-half the
Jews of the world live are radically
changed. In order to end the misery
an end must be put to injustice
an end to oppression, an end to
denial Of opportunity. The oppres-
sion and discrimination before and
during the war was and is SO ex-
IRENE as to make one marvel that

was oppression and unjust discrim
nation which brought the great
masses of Russian Jews to the verge
of restitution, in which the COM
mencement of the war found them,
and which plunged them into starry
alton when the war came. 1t was
prejudice and unjust discrimination
which exposed the Jews to the un-
necessary hardships during the war
of hostile treatment among their
own countrymen.
lights Not Tolerance the Essential.
But the war brings amidst it's
horrors at least one compensation to
the whole world and particularly to
the Jews. 1t forces the world to lay
aside makeshifts; to seek ultimate
truths; to deal with fundamentals.
We long for peace; but we begin
to see that neither international con-
crosses and courts, nor diSarma-
ment can secure peace. Peace can
exist only in a world where justice
and goodwill reign. Justice and
goodwill involve not merely toler
alton of differences, but the grants
of full rights, despite differences.
There must be justice and good
will not only between individuals,
but between different peoples. All
peoples must have equal rights.
Democracy and Nationality.
In the past it has been generally
assumed that the full development
Of one people necessarily involved
it's domination over others. Strong
nationalities are apt to become con-
WINGED that by such domination only
does civilization advance Strong
nationalities assume their own ST.
periority, and come to believe that
they possess the divine right to sub
ject other peoples to their sway.
Soon the belief in the existence of
such a right becomes converted in
to conviction that duty exists to
enforce it. Wars Of aggrandizement
follow as a natural result of this be-
lief.
This attitude of certain nation
alities is the exact correlative of the

position which was generally as
sumed by the strong in respect to
other individuals before democracy
became a common possession. The
struggles of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries both in peace
and war were devoted largely to
overcoming that position as to in
dividuals. In establishing the equal
right of every person to develop
ment it became clear that equal OPP
portunity for all involves this neces-
Sary limitation. Each man may de-
velop himself SO far, but only SO
far as his doing SO will not interfere
with the exercise of like right by
all others. Thus liberty came to
mean the right to enjoy life, to &C
quire property, to pursue happiness
in such manner and to such extent
as the exercise of the right in each
is consistent with the exercise of
like right by every other of our fell
low citizens. Liberty thus defined
underlies twentieth century demo-
cracy. Liberty thus defined exists
in large part Of the western world.
And even where this equal right Of
each individual has not yet been &C
cepted as political right it's ethical
claim is gaining recognition. De-
mocracy rejected the proposal of
the superman who should rise
through sacrifice of the many. 1t
insists that the full development of
each Individual is not only right
but duty to society that our best
hope for civilization lies not in uni
formity. but in wide differentiation.
The movements of the last cen
fury have proved that whole peoples
have individuality no less marked
than that of the single person; that
the individuality of people is IT.
repressible, and that the misnamed
internationalism which seeks the
cbliteration of nationalities or peo-
pies is unattainable. The new ma
tionalism proclaims that each race
or people, like each individual, has
right and duty to develop, and that
only through such differentiated de-
velopment will high civilization be
attained. Not until these principles
of nationalism, like those of demo-
cracy, are generally accepted, will
liberty be fully attained and be min
critics be secure in their rights. But
their is ground for hope that the
establishment of these principles
will come as one of the compensa-

That a very discreditable ex-

fact that is causing considerable
unfavorable comment among our
business men who have been adj
vocating home patronage and
