their fellow countrymen.
They cultivate little or no solidarity
in politics, and they manifest dispo-
sition to disintegrate as community
i They remain loyalty to the race, but
not strict adherence to the ceremonial
and they intermarry with Gentiles.
"A number of modern books written
by Jews deplore this fact. They fear
that Israel will be swallowed up in
the nations. They are an excellent,
law abiding part of our population.
THE Jews of the world, in countries
where they have equal opportunities
have won their way not only to the
great financial power, but to places
of commanding influence in journalism
in the professions and in business
They have retained always an acute
interest in the welfare of their core
| lfgionfsts throughout the world. Their
religious training has inculcated in
them the duty of charity to all-Jew
and Gentile-and they have given I'M
sparingy to aid their brethren in dis
tress.
The result of the war and the break
ing up of Russia and the giving region
to the priciple of self-determination of
racial units have created seven indie
pendent European states in central and
eastern Europe. OF these, the Baltic
Provinces, Joland and the Ukraine, as
well as the Czecho- Slovak state and
the Jugo-Slav state, have many Jew
ish citizens In addition to this, the
Greater Rumania, which is to receive
Pennsylvania from Hungary, is another
state which will have many Jewish
citizens.
The German treaty specifically pro-
vides that the five great powers. shall
make future treaties with Poland and

provisions are to be included in the

Inhabitants of zap
Live the Simple Life

NOME with us, children and grown
ups, too, on voyage to the
island of zap. It's inhabitants are not
the kind of yaps-spelled with lower
case "y"-found In state legislatures,
rural communities and even in large
cities. Although a primitive people,
they have some good qualities.
zap is one of the western Caroline
Islands, "about five hundred miles
southwest of Guam and eight hundred
miles east of the Island of Mindanao
of the Philippine group" 1t has a
population of approximately seven
thousand. AS everybody knows, who
reads the newspapers, the American
government may acquire zap as rep
aration for the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, and use it as a wireless or cable
station.
zap is the kind of island to gladden.
the hearts of the Anti-Saloon league,
for the natives there are strict prohi-
hitionists. But in some other ways,
they are not such excellent models to
their fellow men, struggling to over
come weaknesses of the flesh. Chill
dren are held in common, being freely
adopted or exchanged. The most carl
GUS feature Of zap life are the bach
elor clubs, which are closed to women,
but are presided over by one woman,
preferably captive from some other
tribe. zap husbands are never called
out on the carpet for lingering at the
club. zap wives are broad minded in
that respect.
Food and drink and clothes grow on
trees, disks like mill-stones are used
for money, as well as sea shells, and
style, both for men and women, are
much the same from year to year. A
pleasant land to live in, is zap, un-
contaminated by the sex novel, strong
waters and the odor of gasoline. The
thigh cost of living has never yet
reached the island and dying is COM
paratively cheap
Is it any wonder that a harassed
consumer, struggling to keep up ap-
pearances and make both ends meet,
on pre-war salary and postwar
prices, yearns for the tranquil exist
ence afforded by such place as zap?
Even its name is no handicap.

LONDON PAPER WANTS
SUBMARINE BUILDING
STIGMATIZED AS CRIME

London, Feb. 4.-Referring to a
report received from Paris by way
OF New York that the American
plan for assuring freedom of the
seas includes the restricted use or
abolition of the ubmarine, the Daily
Telegraph says:
"The submarine campaign was
aimed at this country, and we suf-
fered worse than all the other ma
tions combined. There is danger
that that fact may be overlooked.
Besides ships, we lost cargoes val
ued at hundreds of millions of
pounds sterling, while $4,000 British
men, women and children were as
saSsinated at sea.
1--WE are more interested than any
community in the proposal for the
abolition of the submarines. 1t
would be misleading to claim that
naval opinion is unanimous in this
matter, but a large body of naval
opinion and even a larger portion
OF statesmen, on both sides OF the
Atlantic, favor the abolition Of the
U-boat.
Something more than a declara-
ton as to the limits within which
submarines may be employed must
be made, for as long as submarines
exist they may be misused. 1t must
be stigmatized as crime to build
submarines, and power must be Sc
cured to punish any nation which
again embarks on this kind Of naval
obstruction"
