demand. Improvement is, of course,
closely related to control over hered-
ity, but the methods which give the
greatest control are not necessarily
those which lead TO the most rapid
improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head Of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the per-
Torrance of the animals themselves.
Unfortunately the merit of most
kinds of live stock cannot be meas
ured directly. The study OF conforma-
ton as an index of useful qualities
has accordingly held high place
as a basis for selection of breeding
stock. Live stock judging has this
for its purpose. An animal Of good
breeding is a better one to breed than
one Of equal individual merit but of
mixed or common breeding. Pedi-
gree, though often misuscd, is n val
liable aid to selection, apart from fol-
lowing a general policy of mating.
The soundest basis of all for selec-
ton of breeding stock is the record
of past performance as breeder, pro-
vided the record is sufficiently extern
sive to give a fair test.

Raising the standard of farm an
imals and poultry and bringing out
certain desirable characteristics by
slective breeding is receiving more
attention as methods OF farming for

knowledge OF the laws of nature as
they apply 10 mechanics has reached
very great magnitude and compleXity,
it is comparatively only few
years since the principles of breeding
have been more than IA collection OF
unrelated traditional beliefs.
The same supersirions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their prac-
tees at least 30 centuries ago are still
widely current, while the one sound
principle known to the ancients-se-
lection Of the best for breeding stock
is still largely neglected.
The principles OF successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned
by practical experience in the United
States and other older countries, and
by careful scientific study along def
mite lines, are outlined in Department
Bulletin 900, recently issued by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin-
ciples of reproduction and follows the

Surely the war and it's suffering were
not brought on by reliance on Provi-

into the realm Of world politics, as
in individual life, reliance upon
God,-which of course presupposes
following His law? The world CAN
in time achieve disarmament. But
to do that it must sincerely will it.
The nations must earnestly, single

their ultimate goal is peace. With
such resolve, disarmament or any

Rabbi Kornfeld will not be the first
to occupy the position of Minister in
Persia. That position, it will be re-
called, was occupied hundreds of
years ago by Mordecai, whose name
has become inseparably interviewer
with the events that gave rise to the
Purim festival and who was made,
according to the account of those
events in the book of Esther, Prime
Minister of the Persian Empire in
place of Hannah. And it may be taken
for granted that, like Mordecai, Rab-
hi Kornfeld in his capacity as the
representative of the fairest and most
humanitarian government on earth,
will "seek the welfare Of his people"
and will work in the interest of his
country and for the good of all hu-
mainly. Mendel SLIDER.

THE ARAB ATTACK IN
JERUSALEM

The fourth anniversary Of the Bal
four Declaration, November 2, was
made the occasion of an abortive at
tempt by Arabs in Jerusalem to make
another attack upon the Jewish inhab-
itants. The persistent rumors that
such an attack would be made was
evidently not without it's effect upon
the authorities, because the compare
lively slight casualties, was due to
prompt interference by the govern
ment forces, though not prompt
enough to prevent the killing of four
Jews and one Arab, and the wound
ing of twenty-five Jews and fourteen
Arabs.
We see, then, that the government
can prevent bloodshed, if prompt
enough action is taken. The question
somehow persists whether even more
vigilance on the part of the authori-
ties in preventing incendiary speeches
and publications would not be even
more effective. Those who have fol-
lowed developments in Palestine feel
that in this regard the authorities
have been entirely too lax. There is
very clearly the need of more stern
ness in preventing those conditions
that lead to the violence.
Meanwhile we see conclusively that
it is always the Arab who was the
aggressor. To limit Jewish immigra-
tion into Palestine will not satisfy the
Arabs nor prevent their hostility. On
the contrary it gives them false
sense of Importance. What is worse,
it really encourages violence, as they
think that if they are determined
enough in their attacks upon the Jews,
the authorities will further restrict
Jewish immigration, for the sake of
the peace.

THE DISARMAMENT CON-
FERENCE

1t is no exaggeration to say that
the eyes and the hopes of the civilized
world are conferred upon the Confer
ence for the Reduction of Armaments
that will begin it's sessions in Wash
ington November II. All of the ma
lions represented, and even those not
officially at the Conference know how
much blessing can flow from limiting
ornaments, and ultimately from total
disarmament. That it may be long
time before the ideal is fully realized
need not discourage us. No matter
how stupendous task is, it needs to
be commenced before there can be
any progress. So with World Dis
armament, a beginning must be made.
And here is the rub! We know
the fable of the mice who decided
that their safety demanded that they
hang a bell on the cat, so as to be
warned Of his approach. The plan
was unanimously accepted, but the
difficulty was "Who shall bell the
cat?" Similarly, all the nations know
that it is suicidal to keep up the mad
race of competitive naval building
and war preparations. Every nation

self only to local agencies) there is
plenty in the budget Of the Communi-
ty Fund to make it imperative that
every Jew should be most liberal in
supporting the campaign. In addi-
ton to the four Jewish organizations
sharing in the Fund, the Associated
Jewish Charities, the Jewish Shelter
ing Home for Children, the Social
Service Department of the Talmud
Torah, and the South Side Neighbor-
hood House, there are many others,
among the sixty-seven participating
agencies whose benefits all the resi-
dents of the city Of every creed, share
alike.
In Philadelphia survey was made
of contributors to various benevolent
funds. 1t was found that about two
per cent of the people Of that city
were included in the list of contribu-
tors. A similar survey of the Jewish
contributors showed that about six
teen per cent of the Jewish popula-
ton was included in the list of con-
tributors, or in proportion, eight
times as large a percentage of Jews
as of non-Jews. A similar showing,
or if possible better one, locally
would assuredly not disappoint us.
But whatever the statistics of the
case, we should like to see the Jew

asm, work and money to the Commu-

OUR ZIONIST VISITORS

The Zionist Commission, sent out
from Europe on November 5, to work
in America on behalf of the Keren
Hayesod or Palestine Foundation
Fund, constitutes one of the most
eminent Jewish Committees that ever
visited these shores. Composed of
Sokolow, Warburg and Bialik, the
commission represents several impor-
tant phases of the Jewish genius.
Sokolow, undoubtedly, is the diplo-
mat and publicist of the Zionist move
ment. Noted for a generation as
journalist, litterateur, and diplomatic
worker, his services to Zionism and to
Jewry during the last few years are
valuable beyond estimation.
Bialik, the poet, has written He
brew verse that has stirred the heart
of his generation, as has no other
Hebrew poet, perhaps, since Jehudah
Halevi in the eleventh century. Bialik
has composed in Hebrew so often
termed dead language, poems that
are on par with the best composed
in any language during the last quar-
ter of a century.
Otto Warburg is a scientist known
throughout the civilized world. His
main speciality is botany, but he is
also an authority on colonization
work, and to him is due the plan of
cooperative colonization tried sue
cessfully by several Of the Jewish
colonies in Palestine. Before the
war he was head of the International
Zionist Organization.
This distinguished group of Zionist
emiSSarieS deserves the hest and
most cordial reception at the hands
Of American Jewry. They come in
the cause of Zion, but plan activity
that will add glory to the Jewish
name. The reception being arranged
for them in New York which will set
the standard also for other commune
ties, will undoubtedly be most hearty.
But what interests the Zionist Com
missioners more than mere applause
or the hearty greeting, is the magni-
tude of the response of American
Jewry to their appeal for the Keren
Hayesod.

WHEN A RABBI BECOMES A
MINISTER


The news that President Harding
has named Rabbi Joseph Kornfeld,
of Columbus, Ohio, as Envoy Ex-
trordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to Persia, is as interesting as it
is important. The appointment is an
evidence of President Harding's fair
ness and is at the same time an elo-
quent tribute to Rabbi Kornfeld's
ability. It is, furthermore, clear
proof that the conception which many
of our people have of rabbits ability
and capability is altogether errone-
Gus. Ever so many people labor I'M
der the false impression that the
rabbi is sort of mental cripple and
that he is to be respected for the
moral and unselfish life he leads and
revered for the noble calling he fol-
lows, but that he is wholly unfit for
practical things and not to be trusted
with the conduct of affairs that in
volve practical issues of life.
It is not at all an uncommon ex-
perience for any rabbi in this country
to hear some large or small mer-
chant of his congregation speak Of
the unpracticalness of all rabbis and
to intimate that in the field of meta
physics alone the rabbits advice is
wanted and his Judgment trusted.
Even those who have made a sad
failure of their own business because
of their lack Of judgment in practical
matters not infrequently assume an
air of superiority to their spiritual
leader when questions of a practical
nature are discussed.
If the congregation to which Rabbi
Kornfeld has been ministering is at
all like other Jewish congregations in
this country, it is not at all improb-
able that he has often been made to
feel by men and women in his con-
gregation that they considered his
sense for the practical lacking and
his judgment in matters of daily life
unreliable. Yet, the chief executive
of the nation, who knows Rabbi Korn-
field personally, has such high re-
gard for his ability and knowledge
along the lines of political, economic
and industrial matters that he is
willing to intrust to him the affairs of
this Government in a foreign land.
Rabbi Kornfeld is by no means the
first rabbi who has demonstrated his
ability to compete successfully in 9TH
er fields of labor. There are a num-
Der of men in this country who left
the rabbinate for other pursuits and
have become eminently successful.
But the value of the appointment in
the case of Rabbi Kornfeld is to be
sought in the fact that he is taken

The Arab delegation that had come
to England and unsuccessfully pro-
tested against the Balfour Declaration
for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine,
has figured in the dispatches in sew
eral ways recently. They notified
Parliament that the Arabs were to
celebrate the date of the Balfour Dec
laration with mourning. Mourning?
For whom is this mourning? Evil
IDENTIFY it was not the Arabs mourn
ing they had in mind. Else, why
should there be an attack on the Jews
in Jerusalem, in which four Jews were
killed and twenty-five wounded. So
they must have expected the Jews to
do the mourning.
