JEWISH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
PROG 2ESS OF DEMOCRACY

was is not known. Nor is this ma
,terial The Hebrew precedent was the
deciding factor that turned American
statesmen from forming an empire
state to founding a free republic that
is sufficient. Had, in those critical days,
democracy been defeated who knows
how many centuries the cause of free
dom would have languished. A little
group of people who lived in corner
of Asia three thousand years before
these saved democracy to the world.
Hardly had the tide turned toward
democracy on the New Continent when
a volcanic eruption overturned the
royalties of an empire that was already
old in the days of the Caesars. The
French Revolution, no less epochal
than the American Revolution, blazed
a new trail for the European prole-
'tariat, and destroyed with the ruthless
ness of a conf1agration, ancient govern

mental landmarks. Here again the
greatest contribution toward the move
ment came from Judaic sources. On
it's surface the French revolution was a
revolt against the Church, and Religion
against Royalty and Autocracy. In
reality it was revolt against the shams
and pretenses of the established church
and religion, against the hypocrisy and
duplicity of the royalty and aristoc-
racy. The rulers and leaders, political
and ecclesiastical, had for centuries
preached brotherhood, preached self
sacrifice, preached loyalty and duty, but
it was always the common man who
must love his neighbor Better than him
self, who must make the sacrifices for
others, who must be loyal and dutiful
to the king and the church The OBJ
legations were never reciprocal. The
privileged classes were not subject to
these annoying restrictions in their con-
duct. The uprising was bound to COME.
The people insisted upon consistency
and sincerity. 1T was not the ideal,
the truth, the spiritual values that they
revolted against.N The elemental CON-
cept of human Brotherhood which was

lSh group to the western Civilization
was at last ripening into fruition. In
doing so it burst it's husks of outworn
and decadent forms. 1t was ready to
bear fruit in the Old World, as it al
ready had in the New, in the new soil
of political brotherh God which recog-
nized in actual practise the equality OF
man. Social renovation, equality of
rights, the uplifting of the lowly, the
suppression of privileges, of class bar
riers, the brotherhood of races, every
thing aimed at or dreamed of by the
Revolution was proclaimed some TWEEN
ty-five centuries ago. by the people of
Israel. 1t was now to be put into
practise by the French masses who had
become saturated with these ideas and
surfeited with clogging forms that pre-
vented their practise.
In yet different way Gid the Jew
ish element, as "a group, promote the
growth of real democracy The legal
status of the Jew in any country has
long been the barometer of that coun-
try's democracy. Even in Revolution
airy France, there were those who fav-
ored liberty equality, fraternity" for
all except the Jew 1t was the presence
of the Jewish group which made it nee
essary to determine whether those who
proclaimed these doctrines meant them
literally and logically or meant them
only for the prevailing majority. After
a bitter fight in the national assembly,
it was decided that the Jew should not
be excepted. Equality meant equality
for all. 1t was victory for genuine
democracy.
The same struggle was seen in Eng
land. The people might elect whom
they pleased to the Parliament But
if they elected a Jew he could not quail
ify. 1t was democracy with a mental
reservation. One daring Jew who
claimed the rights of a freeman, and
after having been duly elected to the
Parliament by the suffrage of the peo-
pie, publicly demonstrated against the
injustice of excluding him from that
body, solely because he was Jew was
fined for his cOntumeliOus conduct.
However, the Englishman was too logi-
cal to permit statute to survive long
which shared with all shades of religion
and irreligion, the privileges of citizen
ship except the members of the religi-
Gus sect which had given them the very
fundamentals of their state religion.
Great Britain was finally compelled to
become truly democratic with no dis
elimination between it's citizens on re-
ligious grounds. Jewry again forced
the issue in favor of complete as against
partial democracy.
In America, both in national and in
state legislation, the presence of the
Jewish element has prevented many un-
democratic enactments. There is here
as elsewhere the tendency of the party
in power to take advantage of it's posi-
ton. Majorities are not always kindly
or even ,tolerantly disposed. Many
laws are introduced at every session of
a state legislature along the lines of
so-called Sunday laws or looking to the
Introduction of religion into the public
schools. The Jews as a group have

Even a superficial reading of history
will show that Jews have made signif-
cant contributions to the progress of
democracy. Few people realize how
profoundly even western conceptions OF
liberty and the development of repre-
sentative forms of government are in
debted to Jewish sources.
For convenience the subject may be
considered from the standpoint OF con-
tributions by Jews as a group, and by
Jews as individuals.
1t is not always the conscious efforts
to achieve something that makes the
most lasting or permanent impression.
The attempt of the ancient lsraelltes
to initiate their efficient neighbors by
founding powerful monarchy was sue
cessful in very mediocre and temper
ary degree But the commonwealth
which was first established by the Jew
ish people in Palestine was destined to
bear fruits far beyond the vision OF it's
members. Oscar S. Straus has demon
strated quite convincingly that the
ancient Hebrew Commonwealth was the
model upon which the American COM
monwealths were constructed and par
ticularIy the Great American Common
wealth. 1t was the fact that Ancient
Israel was not a monarchy that turned
the tide against the effort OF certain
elements in the colonies to create the
new government in the image of royalty.
Keeping in mind the age, it is not
at all strange that, in the founding OF
the American Government after the
successful Revolution, there were tory
elements who saw or hoped for ad-
vantages to themselves from a royal
regime with it's court, it's aristocracies,
it's privileged classes and all the other
appurtenances. So strong was this SEN
timent that there was danger OF its
carrying the day. 1t was not until the
administration of Thomas Jefferson
that it was finally and hopelessly
crushed The argument which carried
the most weight with the colonists in
deciding the permanent form of gov
eminent was naturally enough not far
removed from their religious convic-
ton These were what brought them
to the New World. The pulpit in those
days was still powerful factor in the
political life and views of the people.
We are told that the leading clergy,
and even the lay writer's, realizing that
an argument based on the Bible would
have the most responsiveness, argued
that the one time when God clearly in
tervened in human government, namely
in the establishment of the Hebrew
Commonwealth in Palestine, He took
care not to establish a monarchy, but
a democracy, He impressed upon Israel
that they should have but one King,
Himself. 1t was argued that if this
was the divine example of human gov
eminent surely the American colonies
could not hope to improve upon it. Still
greater force was given to this reason
ing by pointing out that when God final
ly permitted the Jews to choose king
it was not as reward, but as punish
ment for their dissatisfaction with the
scheme of government divinely planned.

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court was occupied throughout the
morning session today is listening to
a legal argument at the extradition
proceedings for the return to France
of Frank G. Godsol. former French
soldier. charged with defrauding his
government out of s1.5oo.o00 in the
purchase OF automobile trucks.
COUNSEL for the accused, claiming
that much Of the evidence contained
in the papers from France supporting
the complaint of Ambassador Jus
serand 10 hearsay. urged the court to
strip the record Of all such evidence.
The prosecution opposed the mo-
tion. holding that the proceeding is in
the nature OF a preliminary hearing,
and that the e-statute requires that
when properly authenticated these
dispositions shall be received as evil
dence for the purposes OF such hear
Ing, and II the court is able to find
proof in the record to support a prob
able cause for the prosecution, 1t Is
his duty to send the accused back to
France. where. 1t is to be presumed.
he will receive q fair trial on ad-
missible evidence only.
The argument was resumed this
