 WEEKLY LETTER

A speciality trading market appears
 to be in prospect for the present. The general security list Is marking time, digesdng developments, and awaiting incentive. Specific issues whose par tioq1lar positions are sound and offer
 attractions to speculative activities,
 are expected to display strength The
 readJustment does not seem to be over, however and there may be
 some points of weakness not vet aIy- parent. The investor will find it good
 policy to make selective purchases during recessIons, confident that the
 outcome will be favorable Profes- s1onals and pools control immediate
 fluctuations, which will probably be restricted. The underlying condition is growing stronger, as we see it.
 In connection with the Notation of
 the next Liberty Loan, the enormous financing demands indicated by the
 Secretary Of the Treasury at the pres
 ent time would seem to forecast 6
 higher rate of interest than yet paid
 on Liberty Loan bonds. if their pro- motion is to be successful Certainly, it is not easy to float ten binion of
 bonds as it Is to place five billion;
 and therefore, like the man whose
 credit has been somewhat stretched,
 higher charges for additional borrow ings are Q reasonable anticipation
 The arrogant attitude of the Ger
 man leaders pending the formulation of peace terms Is something that
 makes us sincerely regret that the powers in command did not see fit to decline an arInistice until uncond1- ttonaI surrender was obtained. Oocu- pancy of Berlin might have altered present conditions very materially, and would probably have been 8 hard
 blow for Bolshevisrn. We cannot but commend vigorous measures taken to
 stamp out BoIshevtsrn in this country
 If taken at its inception a destructive element of this character Is easily handled, but if permitted to spread its vicious doctrines, the ignorant form
 erroneous opinions difficult to change. Regulars of the American Army seem to be handling the matter effectively this dangerous alien element that has been injecting poison into United States labor cannot be too prompt
 The metal situation. both as regards steel and copper, seems to be making
 good progress toward final readj just
 ment. but 1t is likely that some mar ket jolts are to be experienced before
 the turn shall come Commodities generally are declining, and labor Is 1 being nquidated steadily. More free dom of action for natural laws will soon pass us through the period of
 uncertainty into prosperity that will come if cooperation is promoted on all sides AS prices drop, consumers will buy more freely and business will l revive. With lower food costs 1t wtn

Poindexter Makes Bitter
 Assault on League Plan

 Quarrels and becoming a party to all international complications"
 Referring to the request of Presi- dent Wilson that congress refrain from discussion of the league until he could meet with the Foreign Af- fairs Committee, Senator Poindexter asserted 1t was 8 matter of "too much importance for us to remain altogeth- CT silent and that mo harm can be done by full discussion of a document of which the world was purposely kept in entire ignorance until It came forth full-panop1ied, as though born from the head of love"
 Taking up the provisions of the leagues constitution the senator de- ciared that the document contained no provision for its aibrogation or for the withdrawal of a nation. He said that doubtless the leagues advocates would contend that the agreement might be abrogated at any time. but such, he said, was the contention of many of the states which joined the Federated Union "only to learn diff ferently through the b1oodshed of a civil war"

very regrettable The result was a
decided fzzle.
There was one feature on the
program Of the Carnegie Hall meet
ing to which we looked forward
with pleasurable anticipation, and
that was the choral singing of a
few Hebrew numbers by the Can
tors Association of America, a
chorus made up of the leading New
York cantors. But in spite of our
much boosted present-day Jewish
unity, we discovered to our sorrow
that there was no harmony even
among Jewish singers.

A GREAT EVENT IN THE

EAST.

We feel a real pang of disappoint-
ment in Eastern Jewry. How
prominent and conspicuous the Jew
is in New York and it's environs is
we'll neutrality-suspicious. in num-
bers and the wealth and display of
some of our brethren. In many a
section of Greater New York and
it's vicinity you wonder whether
there are any other than Jewish
people in this part of the country,
although the fact is that in Greater
New York the Jewish is about one
fourth of the total population. But
this fourth is very much in evidence
in the market places, in places of
amusement, on the streets, in con-
veyances, and in all summer re-
sorts.
Yet when an important occasion
arises and calls up New York Jewry
to show it's numerical or at least
it's intellectual, strength, of which
it has an abundance, it fails to
measure up to it. Such an occasion
was the homecoming of Louis Mar

MORGENTHAU'S POINT OF
VIEW.

VIEW.
Should the reports from Paris
prove correct, namely, that Henry
Morgenthau, head of the American
Commission appointed by President
Wilson to investigate reported
pogroms in Poland, after a brief
visit in Poland declared that "the
reports of the pogroms were ire
mendously exaggerated" and that
"the Polish Jews sometimes over
looked the fact that equal rights in
volved equal duties, and that if the
Polish Jews wished sincerely to COL
laborate with the state, they must
follow the example of their Ameri-
can coreligionists, who consider
themselves above all things patriotic
Americans" it will only prove the
peculiar bias of Mr.. Morgenthau's
mind with reference to the great
Jewish question. Mr.. Morgenthau
can conceive of no other solution of
the Jewish problem than complete
assimilation and absorption every
where. To him the Jews in Poland
must be Poles, in Lithuania Lithu-
anians, and in Ukrainia Ukrainians,
just as in America they are Ameri-
cans. His prejudice against the
idea of distinct Jewish nationality
blinds him to the fact that Poland
is not parallel to America; that
while in America we all merge our
nationalities to produce new ma
ton, in Poland, as in other Euro
pean countries, different nationali-
ties have lived side by side, one
within the other, for centuries,
without there ever being any ques-
ton as to the wisdom, propriety, or
expediency of such an arrangement:
How can you question the wisdom
of that which is natural, and there
fore necessary? Jews have lived in
Poland for at least eight hundred
years, in large numbers, and in GER
tain predominatingly Jewish CEN
tiers, and the attitude of the Poles
toward them for hundreds of years

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

CATION to the Peace Conference at
Versailles. The greatness of Louis
Marshall's achievement at the
Peace Conference in securing the
rights of the Jews and of other ra-
cial minorities in all countries that
enter into treaty relations with the
Entente powers is unquestionable.
There were other men in the Ameri
can and the other Jewish delaga-
tons that rendered valuable serv-
ices. There was Stephen S. Wise,
for instance, who, as is we'll known,
stands very close to President Will
son and his advisers But Mr..
Marshall's high reputation as a
lawyer, and as a leading Jewish
American citizen, his intellectual
force, and his strength of charac-
ter made him the most influential
Jewish delegate there. The clauses
in the treaty with Poland which
safeguard the rights Of Jews and
other racial and religious minorities
may be said to be the result Of Mr..
Marshall's indefatigable efforts and
irresistible influence.
Here, then, was an occasion for
New York Jewry to do honor to the
man in dignifed and brilliant man
ner, BETTING his services to his
brethren. Instead of that small
insignificant but apparently very
meddlesome and publicityseeking
clique took charge of the matter,
and the affair turned out monu-
mental fasco. The Twin Cities of
Minnesota could have furnished an
equally representative Jewish gath
ering both at the banquet and the
Carnegie Hall meeting held in his
honor. And what does the Jewish
population of the Twin Cities
amount to compared with that of
New York and vicinity? Of course,
Mr.. Jacob Schiff graced the occa-
sion and acted as POSTMASTER at the
banquet. And Mr.. Felix M. War
burg, too, was there, and at the Car
negie Hall meeting truly distin-
guished himself by his tact in max
ing his remarks as brief as possible.
If the others had only used equally
good Judgment Instead of that
there was a lot of ranting, and cant
and buncombe, and fapdoodle and
drivel, all intended in praise of Mr..
