T w EN- Y REA SONS

A CERTAIN MAN lost faith in the
heavenliness of earth, and when
asked why, he gave twenty reasons.
He cut himself with a safety razor
He burned his hand in a fireless
cooker.
He became asphyxiated with the
fumes of smokeless powder.
He heard an explosion in a noise
less motor.
He received too much care from a
careless girl.
He got thank from his thankless
son.
He sold his soul to a soulless cor
poration.
He received a wire from a wire
less station.
He became the victim of the activ-
tiles of the inactive.

THE TERMS OF ENGLAND'S
PALESTINE MANDATE

Even before knowing the
terms of the Mandate we repeat
eddy expressed our opinion that
they would be both disappointing
and reassuring to us. We drew
that conclusion from the required
British policy in Palestine and in
the Orient in general at the pres
ent time. Britain has the vast
Arab and Muhammedan popula-
tons of her empire to reckon
with, and she is not counting any
more trouble than she already has
in Egypt, Mesopotamia and India.
Now that the terms have been
made public we find that Our
representation was not far from
correct. To begin with, the Bal
fourian phrase "a national home
for the Jewish people" is left as
vague and as underlined as it has
hitherto been. That is the disap-
pointing item of the mandate. The
Jews may have a national home

EDl TOR lAL
CHESTERTON, THE CLEV-
Err MOUNTEBANK

Gilbert K. Chesterton is un-
doubtedly one of England's liter
airy figures of the day. He is es-
sentially a journalist, and for a
journalist to become a man of
note, a man who is discussed,
criticized, admired, feted, means
to possess some superior, unique,
or startling quality or character
istic. And Chesterton possesses
such quality. He is clever, and
is a master of paradox. To startle
the reader with paradoxes re-
quires high degree of a certain
order of cleverness, by no means
a high order. It is essentially the
c1everness of the punster, or of
the smart Aleck. If all the world
agrees that certain thing is
white, and you manage to frame
a clever phrase conveying the
idea that the thing is black, the
reader is startled, amused, and if
not critical enough, even con-
WINGED that you are right.
This sort of cleverness, how
ever, is not necessarily accom-
panied either by true wisdom or
character. Cleverness, even Of a
higher order, does not imply that
one so gifted is also honest,
truthful, just and generous. Very
often the opposite holds true.
The biggest scoundrels in the
world have been very clever; and

JEWISH VICEROYS

The appointment of Lord Read
ing as British viceroy Of India re-
minds one of the two Biblical in
stances in which Jews rose to
similar positions in foreign lands,
lands occupying in their days the
same august place as does Eng
land at the present time. We re-
fer to Joseph in Egypt and to
Mordecai in Persia. In both
cases the offices and dignities
with which the two Israelites
were invested are described in
terms that leave no doubt that
they were viceregal, precisely as
the office of Lord Reading is, but
with far greater powers than are
conferred upon him. For the
kings and viceroys of ancient
Egypt and Persia were despots
in the real sense of the word.
But here is a striking coinci-
dence. In both Biblical instances
the appointment of the Jew to the
exalted position is either the pre-
Jude or postlude of a Jewish trag-
edy or crisis. In Egypt the trag-
edy follows; in Persia the crisis
precedes the elevation Of the Jew.
Who can fail to realize that the
Jewish people is just now going
through most critical period of
it's history? Think of the de-
struction of the great Jewish
centers of central and eastern
Europe! Let us hope that, as in
the case of Mordecai, Lord Read
ing's appointment is the postlude
of it all, marking the end of the
recent great Jewish tragedy; and
that it is prophetic of the bright
future we are looking forward to-.
when Israel's star shall once
more rise in the East-the Jew
ish homeland in Palestine.

highly gifted and educated have
been the most rascally. Napoleon
was genius; but Napoleon was
also one of the most unprincipled
men that ever lived. Machiavelli
was probably the most clever,
the most brilliant man in his day
and generation. Yet Machiavelli,
the political philosopher, was
charlatan, a moral leper.
Chesterton, too, the clever
writer of paradoxes, is nothing
but clever mountebank. We
need nothing else to prove it than
his attitude toward the Jews.
Chesterton hates the Jews-not
any particular Jews, not such
Jews as actually deserve censure
and condemnation, but all Jews
the whole Jewish people. Ches-
terton would have all Jews treat
ed as pariahs again, exactly as
they were treated in the Middle
Ages; he would have them de-
prived of their human rights of
liberty and equality, herded in
ghettos in Palestine or elsewhere,
and thus keep the world uncon-
taminated by the Jewish presence
and Jewish influence. That Jew
like Lord Reading should be
made by the English people the
viceroy of India that another
Jew like Herbert Samuel should
be appointed high commissioner
of Palestine, is something that
makes Chesterton tear his hair
from his paradoxical head. And
yet, what is wrong with those
men chosen by the English gov
eminent to such high office?
What fault can he find with
them? Nothing but the fault that
they are Jews.
Mountebank Chesterton We
somehow suspect that he is not
only writer of paradoxes, but a
paradox himself. We suspect
that his Jew-hatred is not genu-
inc, not real. We cannot mag
inc that beef-eating, jovial Eng
lishman, that ponderous hulk of
flesh, really capable of such preju-
dice and bigotry, of such narrow
ness and meanness, of such lima
ture and bitterness. AS Josh
Billings said of fat men-he loves
gravy too we'll for that. When
true wisdom tells us that no race
or human group deserves to be
condemned indiscriminatel y-not
even the lowliest, the most re-
tarded in intellectual and mora.
