PRESIDENT WILSON HEADED A
PROTEST AGAINST ANTI
SEMITISM.

The undersigned, citizens Of Gentle
birth and Christian faith, view with
profound regret and disapproval the
appearance in this country of what
is apparently an organized campaign
Of anti-Semitisim, conducted in close
conformity to, and cooperation with,
similar campaigns in Europe. We re-
greet exceedingly the publication Of a
number of books, pamphlets and
newspaper articles designed to foster
distrust and suspicion Of our fellow
citizens of Jewish ancestry and faith
-distrust and suspicion Of their 10y.
atty and their patriotism.
These publications, TO which wide
circulation is being given, are thus
introducing onto our national political
life new and dangerous spirit, one
that is wholly at variance with our
traditions and ideals and subserve of
our system Of government. American
citizenship and American democracy
are thus challenged and menaced. We
protest against this organized cam
paign Of prejudice and hatred, not
only because Of its manifest injustice
to those against whom II is directed,
but also and especially, because we
are convinced that il is wholly in
compatible with loyal and intelligent
American citizenship. The logical out
come Of the success Of such a cam
paign must necessarily be the division
Of our citizens along racial and relig-
ious lines, and, ultimately, the intro.
duction Of religious tests and qualifi-
cations to determine citizenship.
The loyalty and patriotism Of our
fellow citizens Of the Jewish faith is
equal to that Of any part Of our peo-
pie, and requires no defense at our
hands. From the foundation Of this
Republic down TO the recent World
War, men and women Of Jewish an
cestry and faith have taken an honor,
able part in building up this great
nation and maintaining its prestige
and honor among the nations Of the
world. There is no. the slightest JUS
tifcation, therefore, for n campaign
Of anti-Semitism in this country.
Anti-Semitism is almost invariably
associated with lawlessness and with
brutality and injustice. II is also in
variably found closely intertwined
with other sinister forces, particular
ly those which are corrupt, reaction
airy and oppressive.
We believe II should not be left to
men and wcmn Of Jewish faith TO
fight this evil, out that Il is in a very
special sense the duty Of citizens who
are not Jews by ancestry or faith. We
therefore make earnest protest
against this vicious propaganda, and
call upon our fellow citizens Of Gen.
tile birth and Christian faith to unite
their efforts to ours to the end that
II may be crushed. In particular, we
call upon all those who are moulders
Of public opinion-the clergy and min
listers Of all Christian churches, publ
cists, teachers, editors and statesmen

THE CONFERENCE OF
RABBITS.

The Conference of Rabbis has
met and adjourned. A number
of interesting papers were read,
the most inspiring and enlight-
ening being one by Prof. Lauter-
bach, on the Attitude of Jews
Towards Christians" With rare
scholarship, Prof. Lauterbach
traced through Bible, Talmudic
and other writings the attitude
of the Jew towards the non-Jew.
With overwhelming evidence he
proved as baseless the state
ments of the anti-Semites that
a Jew is permitted to cheat and
mistreat non-Jew. The paper is
one that ought to be in the
hands of every Jew and thinking
non-Jew, and the B'nai Birth
and the American Jewish Com
mittee would do well to print a
hundred thousand of these for
distribution. 1t is a monument of
learning, knowledge and evidence
of the fallacy of the anti-Semitic
position.
Another matter of discussion
with the rabbis was that of their
endorsing requests for ritual
wine. II seems that some men
calling themselves rabbis had
been INSCRIPTIONS and in order
to avoid any entanglements with
men who are law-breakers, the
President of the Conference sug-
gested that that portion of the
Volstead Act granting permits
sion to rabbis to procure ritual
vines, be rescinded. The major
lily of the rabbis, however, were
of the opinion that the body bet
ter not take any action Of this
sort, and thought that each rab-
ii should simply refuse to en-
Gorse a request for ritual wine.
Another matter that was
discussed among rabbis, though
not officially, was the attitude
of Reformers towards Orthodox
leaders and vice versa. II was
felt that the time has come when
finer feelings and more friendly
relations should characterize the
leaders of the two wings Of Ju-
daism. After all there is one

not engaged in business, and
the dreariest day for many of

say we have nothing to do. II
time hangs heavily upon us, it
is a sign that we are slack in

the world at large to feel bored
because of having nothing to
do. There is plenty to do; and
if we want to live and not mere

by helping to realize the
dreams and ideals which, if
realized, would make the world
better place in which to live.
This ceremony of counting

seizing every opportunity to do
good, should stimulate us to
