Emblem of the greatest union,
Symbol of the highest good,
HAIL The promise of the ages.
Wondrous Flag of Brotherhood!
Borne by mercy through wars hor-
rors.
Raised by faith by love unfurled,
Flag that serves no single country,
Splendid Red Cross of the World.
Raise the Flag, Oh, mighty Nations!
For the stricken world to see;
Bear it proudly through the future
In the crusades that must be.
AS the Herald and the Token
OF the wonders of the Dawn,
1t shall be the inspiration
OF the Nations yet unborn.
It shall stand for work with knowl-
edge,
L.ab'ring for the common good
For unselfish single effort
That shall raise the multitude.
Stain it not with blood, Oh, Nations!
Drench it not with bitter tears,
This the Flag above all others
That has bridged the hemispheres.
Guard it, serve it, bear it, love it,
Dare to follow in its light
Immortal rainbow of the day,
Star of Hope in darkest night.
Underneath it's rays all peoples
Meet as brothers, neutral, free,
All mankind shall hold it sacred
Red Cross of Humanity.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-07-21


!. phia Plan. Would
Justice Louis d. Brandeis of the
United States Supreme Court APP
peared before representative Of
nearly forty organizations of Jews at
the Hotel Astor Sunday, to support
a. program adopted at Philadelphia
last March for a national congress
of Jews in America to demand full
rights for Jews in all lands and the
abrogation of all laws discriminating
against Them
Although the idea Of a congress
along the general lines suggested
was Endorsed, Oscar S. Straus,
Chairman of the Public Service
Commission of New York, DR.. Cy-
rus Adler, head of the Dropsie Col
lege of Philadelphia; DR.. j. L. Mag
mes, and other prominent Jews Of
New York and other cities sharply
opposed some Of the ideas for the
congress as interpreted by Justice
Brandeis.
The demand for democratic con-
gress of Jews of the United States
has been agitated for many months
in this country. 1t grew out OF
many reports received here of cruel
ties imposed on Jews in some of the
belligerent countries Of Europe since
hostilities began, but the program
for great gathering to ia Ike action
while the conflict was still on had
been opposed by the American Jew
ish Committee and other represent
tative bodies, who favored a quieter
method. and one which would not
complicate the efforts of those who
were trying to help the Jews.
The agitation has resulted in
sharp division among some Jewish
organizations, and Justice Brande1s
appeared before the conference last
Sunday as member of committee
that had been appointed by the Jew
ish Congress organization to invite
the representatives at the Hotel AS
tor to participate in the next Con-
press to be held in Philadelphia.
The other men on the committee
with Justice Brandeis were Judge
Hugo Pam of the Appellate Court of
Chicago, and ex-Judge Leon San
ders of New York.

Vait Till War Ends. E
Resent Attitude of Invitation.
Some of the representatives at the
meeting at the Hotel Astor resented
what they described as the autocrat-
ic attitude adopted by the Congress
Committee in inviting the members
of the Conference to participate in
the Jewish Congress.
The Conference had adopted a
resolution favoring the idea of CON
gress which should seek full relig-
ious, civil, and political freedom for
Jews, but which restricted the ac-
tivities of that body to that one sub
ject. This was objected to by JUS
tice Brandeis, who was the spokes
man of his committee, on the ground
that it had been drawn without
proper knowledge of what had been
done at the preliminary Jewish Con-
gress in Philadelphia last March.
This Congress, Justice Brandeis
said, had given its Executive Com
mittee certain powers which did not
permit of the restrictions Incorporate
ed in the resolution, and he asserted
that if the members of the Confer
ence wanted to join the Congress
they would have to do SO on the
terms fixed by that Congress.
Rabbi Magnes took sharp excep-
ton to this statement, and he
"dared' Justice Brandeis to seek in
dorsement of such an autocratlc attl-
tude at the hands of the Jews Of the
nation.
eff Mr.. Justice Brandeis goes be-
fore the Jews of the country on such
an issue, l predict for him as great
a defeat as his reception this after
noon here was overwhelming" he
said. "To come before this confer
ence and to tell it Either you come
into our organization on our terms
or YOU cannot come into it at all,
is no way to promote peace and har-
mony.'
This brought Justice Brandeis to
his feet with a statement that Dr.
Magnes's tone did not indicate de-
sire to promote good feeling, and the
latter, although insisting on his po-
sitjon, apologized for anything he
had said that might have sounded
disrespectful or discourteous.

Would Await Wars End.

Would Await Wars End.
The colloquy between DR.. Mag
mes and Justice Brandeis was pre-
coded by one between Justice Bran
deis and Mr.. Straus that was even
more spirited.
Justice Brandeis told the Confer
ence in answer to question by MIR.
Straus that the congress held in
Philadelphia last Marcn had provid-
ed that another congress Of Jews be
convened in Philadelphia some time
between Sept. and Dec. 81, 1916.
He said the question asked by MIR.
Straus, which was whether definite
date had been set, indicated that the
members of the conference had
failed to understand the scope and
purpose of the Philadelphia meet
ing Mr.. Straus had told the Con-
ference and Mr.. Brandeis that he
had been in favor of holding no con-
gress while the war was still on, and
he asked Mr.. Brandeis if some way
for postponing the congress until
after the war could not be found.
The question asked by Mr..
Stratus and the resolution drawn up
by the Resolutions Committee of this
Conference indicate that this confer
ence is without knowledge Of the
limitations imposed on the Execu
tive Committee of the Jewish Con-
gress Organization" said Justice
Brandeis. The scope and purpose
of the Congress has not been COW
cred by the resolution of the commit
tee. The Congress, in creating the
Executive Committee, limited it's
powers. If the Conference adopts
this resolution that has been pre-
scented here, in the face of the expla-
nations of the limitations that have
been imposed on the committee, it
will be impossible for the Executive
Committee of the Congress to. do
anything but go on alone.
The Congress at Philadelphia de-
cided that the next congress be held
between September, 1916, and Dec.
81. 1916, and directed it's Executive
Committee to carry out this plan.
The only way this program could
be changed would be for a referen-
dunn to be taken after vote Of
three-fourths of the members of the
Executive Committee. Certain
things that were done at the Con-
gress cannot be undone. Certain
limitations were created that the Ex-
ecutive Committee cannot avoid"
