RABBI ASSASSINATED

Refusal To Accept Return Of Christian
Jews Is Cause.
Mellila, Spanish Morocco, May g.
Grand Rabbi Abraham Cohn, of Mel
lila, was assassinated here today by
Hebrew who had recently embraced
the Christian religion and whose petit
ton that he be permitted to return to
the Jewish faith had been refused.
The murder occurred on the steps Of
the synagogue.

answer the call OF klnshlp and tax our
mental and material resources for
their salvation and happiness. The
millions that have been raised here
annually for Jewish war relief are but
makeshift after ala mere emer-
gency measure to feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, shelter the home
less; sustain life for brief period.
The real work-structural-
must begin NOW.
The Order Of B'nai Birth is today
the only Jewish international Jewish
organization left standing erect after
the ravages of the world war. The
German and Austrian Hilfs-Veren,
the Jewish Colonization Association,
the Alliance Israelite Universelle, the
Anglo-Jewish Association-all have
been so disastrously crippled that their
agencies both home and abroad de-
mand much time for rehabilitation.
Upon the European branches Of the
B'nai Birth has been thrown the real
burden Of reconstructive work in the
war-wrecked countries, notably in the
congested border lands referred to
where among other refugees, are TO-
600 Jewish orphans caught in the
wedge-unable to get in or out-drift-
ing between the scylla of Ukrainia and
the charybridis of Roumania. They
are presently protected by our Grand
Lodges Of Turkey and Roumania, and
they in turn are sending call for
help westward and further westward
to Austria, where the people hate US
to Germany where they fear us-to
Italy and France who cannot help us
even to enlightened England, now
so hurriedly closing her ports to al
lies immigration; until their cries
have crossed the great ocean and been
answered by us here.
For our fraternity, among other
things, is the melting pot of Israel.
Upon its broad democratic platform
all shades of opinion, all types of mind
may unite with the common purpose
of building upon those fundamentals
to which all Israel subscribes.
In Gods name why can't we do it?
Why can't we be big enough and
brave enough to sink our controversial
issues and "isms?" They belong after
all to the realm of the abstract-what
we are-where we came from or
whittier are we going-these are but
mysteries of the world of speculative
thought. But what concerns US now
and what we are contending for are
the concrete things of life-burning,
blazing, vital issues not in the world
Of thought but the world Of action
the world of flesh and blood peopled
by the men and women WHO DO
THINGS.
Let us face those issues and let US
face them in solid phalanx. Hand to
hand and shoulder to shoulder-heart
to heart and soul to soul, regardless of
our separate affiliations let US fight
out the battle bravely to the end.
"And the work Of righteousness
shall be Peace: for behold the fruits
Of Righteousness are quietness and
rest forever"

THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION
CONTINUED from Page y

But those same forces operating in
our communal movements seem to
turn us to divergent paths where we
are forever chasing rainbows, CHM
eras and bubbles in frantic effort to
solve what we are pleased to call our
problems. Problems! We have none.
Wrongs! Deep, cruel, butter wrongs
which can be and which must be re-
dressed.
The coming Quien-quennial Conven-
ton of our fraternity next week in
Cleveland will deal with these ques-
tons and their. suggestive answers,
all of which will be embodied in the
Presidents message and later on pub
lished and distributed as propaganda
throughout the world of Jewry. l must
not at this time therefore forestall it
by discussing remedies. But in the
meantime what of Soviet Russia with
her 100000 Jews? Only this. The
present government which we have
been taught to call Bolshevik, but
which calls itself Communist, and
which will have to be recognized by
the world of nations as surely as God
made worlds and Nations-will be for
the so-called Real Russians. 1t pro-
ceeds upon that doctrine Of social
economy heretofore generally regard
ed as fallacy, which by both evolu-
tionary and revolutionary means
would divide the wealth of the land
among those believed to be its actual
producers. These are the farmer, the
peasant, the son of the soil, the sheep,
cattle and poultryraiser, the alderman
and the forester, all those whose la
Dor, feeds, clothes or houses a COM
munity; not forgetting the artisan,
mechanic, or factory operative whose
skilled craftsmanship converts the
raw material into the manufactured
product. In word the complete elm

Holy Greed Of these doctrinians who.
whatever their chances Of success, are
in deadly earnest, and have at last
caught the respectful attention of the
thinkers as well as the workers of
the world-not alone the rampant
"red," but the rule or ruin racial, but
the peaceful "highbrow", the dry-as-
dust economist.
Need l say again "this means u.s."
that we belong to the doomed class.
We know that for uncounted centur-
les the ownership of land in Russia
or even the right to cultivate it under
tenancy has been denied us; all skilled
crafts forbidden us; the learned pro-
fessions, the higher academies, the
scientific vacations, the technical
schools, even the manufacturing
trades-all barred against, pedlling,
speculative trading or purveying as
low-class merchants, secondhand deal

STRIKES Il !: E AND PRICES.

Says New York financial writer,
in a recent review Of national busi-
ness conditions:
prior to the refusal Of Chicago
switchmen to work. the industries
had been feeling considerable relief
from the winter difficulties Of rail-
road shipments The delivery and
payment for goods long held was act
ins~to relieve q congested situation OF

were signs Of price recessions in mar
kets than had begun to receive in
creased quantities Of manufactured

And now, what? Under the best

fore the railroads regain the traffic
Improvement which had begun with
the passing of the bad weather and
was lost through the strike. The
high cost of living problem is put fur
tller than ever from practical solu-
ton, and the high cost or doing busi-
ness is made even higher than before.
That is always the way. Every big

SINCE = THE SALOON

After conducting an investigation
into the effects Of prohibition. with
severe neutrality" the New York
Tribune reports that it has found
enough arguments in favor of pro-
hibition to wreck the white paper
market were they printed in detail
and with all their far-reaching rami-
fications" This investigation con-
cerned itself with New York City on
II, but the results would have been
about the same in almost any COM
tmunity IN any section of the coun-
try.
There is Chicago, for instance,
where two of the criminal
branches of the municipal court have
been closed and the judges assigned
to civil cases. The court of domestic
relations also has had its work light
ened because there are fewer dolnes-
tic troubles than under the SAIGON re-
gime. The House Of Correction, With
$500 inmates a year ago, reports on
ly zee now. The alcoholic ward i'll
Bellevue Hospital, New York, has
been closed because there are SO few
alcoholic patients.
In the sections where prohibition
was expected to bring about industrial
disaster, the reports are only cheer
ful. In St. Louis $4,000 workers who
should have been out of jobs when
the brewery which employed them
was closed are employed in new
General Motors plant. Distilleries
and breweries have been quickly
adapted to all sorts of new enterprises
including the production or feed for
cattle, horses and chickens, the manu-
facture Of syrup; malt sugar, vinegar
and yeast, the preparation of mara
schino cherries, jams and preserves.
Another brewery has been turned in
to a combined packing plant, sausage
f1ctory and sof. drink factory. An
other transformed brewery makes
o,eomargarine. Still another serves
as "a cold storage plant, and another
has become an assembling plant for
motor cars
All this is a mere beginning in the
long list Of benefits which have fol-
lowed the abolishment Of the liquor
traffic. Even if the present prohibi-
ton laws should be changed OF modl-
fed, it Seems sufficiently evident that
no nation in its right mind would
consider for moment turning back
to the days of the evil saloon and the
ilauor regulations which failed or
