THE WORK OF THE ANTI
DEFAMATION LEAGUE.

During the past year. the Anti
Defamation League has distrib-
uted among educators, public Of
fcials, clergymen, publicists and
public Libraries, nearly 100000
pieces of literature in which the
nefarious activities of anti-Semi
tic agencies in this country have
been exposed and the charges
which they have made, conclus-
lively answered. The interna
tional character of the attacks has
also made it necessary to estab-
fish branches of the League in
other countries. Since June l,
1920, the Governing Board of the
League has held As meetings in
Chicago. In addition to the B'nai

B'NAI BIRTH AND IMMI-
GRAFTON TO MEXICO.

Mr.. Archibald A. Marx of New
Orleans and Rabbi Martin lie
lonka of Ell Paso, Texas, left this
week for Mexico City. They are
being sent by the executive COM
mittee of the B'nai Birth to in
vestigate the condition of Jewish
immigrants who have been COM
ing to Mexico in ever increasing
numbers since the restrictive bars
were placed upon immigration to
the United States. The Jewish
community in Mexico City will be

THE FLOOD SUFFERERS OF
PUEBLO.

For the Jewish heart in Amer
lea, there is never a lack Of slim
ulants for it's philanthropic
promptings. Plenty of poor and
distressed in each community,
victims of misfortune, nlaladapta-
ton, unemployment or sick
ness. Then there is the continued
cry of war sufferers and progrom
sufferers abroad, and the con-
tinued appeals of the restorers of
Zion. Then the numerous insti-
tutions of education and philan-
thropy here and abroad. And
now, just for the sake of little
variety-the food sufferers OF
Pueblo, Colo.
In another column the read der
will find an appeal sent out by
committee of leading Jews of
Denver, who have organized
themselves for the purpose of Sc
curing help for our f1ood-suffer-
ing coreligionists of Pueblo. Ac-
cording to the appeal about one
hundred Jewish families have lost
everything during the flood dis
aster. No doubt they were among
the poorest citizens of that strick-
en- city, living in it's most squalid
section, the section that is gen
orally food swept when such
disaster befalls a community. To
restore their homes and their
modest furnishings and probably
the little businesses of many of
them, $25O,OOO is required. There
should be no difficulty in raising
this sum throughout the country.
New York alone can easily raise
one-half of it. We have no doubt
that the Twin Cities, and in fact,
all the Jewish communities OF
Minnesota will be moved by the
appeal and cheerfully contribute
their proportionate share.

EDl TOR lAL
THE PASSING OF A NOTED
SCHOLAR.

The sudden death of Professor
Morris Jastrow of Philadelphia
will come as a shock to the schol-
arly world of America. Being in
the prime of life, not quite sixty
wears old, and in the full maturity
of his scholarly powers, his death
is indeed great loss to American
Oriental scholarship.
Among Orientalists and espe-
cially in the field of Semitic stud
les, Jastrow occupied position OF
unquestioned authority. He came
naturally by his love of Semitic
and Oriental studies, for his faith
err, Rabbi Marcus Jastrow of Phil
adelphia, author of "A Dictionary
of the Targumim, the Talmud
Babli and Yerushalmi, and the
Midrashic Literature" was no
less eminent in the domain of
scholarship than was the son.
Prof. Jastrow, too, was originally
trained for the rabbinate, and pur-
sued his studies abroad with that
object in view. But after trial
of one year in his fathers congre-
CATION in Philadelphia, he de-
cided to leave the ministry, un-
doubtedly owing to his strong
assimilationist tendency, to which
he in later years gave free express
sion. His father was staunchly
and conservatively Jewish.
Upon leaving the ministry he
obtained position in the Semitic
department and in the library OF
the University of Pennsylvania.
His rise at the University and his
recognition in the scholarly world
were rapid. He was a prolific
writer and in quick succession
there appeared from his pen a
standard work on the Religion OF
the Babylonians and Assyrians,"
"The Study of Religion" editions
of different old Oriental texts,
numerous articles in the journals
for Oriental languages, and in the
transactions of various learned
societies in America and Europe.
He was also member of the con-
sulting board of American Edi-
tors of the Jewish Encyclopedia,
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1921-06-24

were represented at these meet
ings: Council of Jewish Women,
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, The Union of American
Hebrew Congregations and the
American Zionist Organization.
Nearly 400 complaints of defam-
alton and discrimination were
acted upon and in addition the
Board superintendent the conduct
of the educational program which
the League is carrying out to
bring about better understanding
between Jew and non-Jew.
The League is informed~of the
personal and financial hackers of
the various anti-Semitic organiza-
tons active in this country.
Their plan of action is thorough
ly understood so that it is pos
sible in many instances to fore
stall and render harmless the ef-
forts which are being made to
arouse hatred and fear of the Jew.
A typical instance occurred dur
ing the past few weeks. The Ma
tional Civic Federation is en-
gagged through it's Department on
Revolutionary Activities in an in
vestigation of radical activities in
the United States. The investi-
cation is in the hands of men who
are absolutely sincere and who
would publish nothing which they
did not believe to be true.
Strange to say, however, they
came to rely for information as
to Bolshevik propaganda upon a
man who has been credited as the
leader in much of the anti-Semi-
tic propaganda which has been
distributed in this country during
the past two years. This man,
Boris L. Brasel, is at the head of
several reactionary Russian So
cieties having headquarters in
New York, which are, of course,
bitterly anti-Bolshevik, but which
are also bitterly opposed to any
form of government in substitu-
ton for Bolshevism which does
not restore the autocracy of the
noble classes. The facts in refer
ence to Brasel were brought to
the notice of all members of the
Executive Council of the National
Civic Federation. Proof was sub
mitted to show that Grasel was
a leader in the Black Hundred
movement in Russia, that he was
one of the government prescott
tors in the infamous Boilis case,
that it was he who brought the
forged Petrocols to this country,
and persuaded certain leaders of
American public opinion that
they paralleled present day con-
ditions in Russia, that he was par
TALLY responsible for the anti
Semitic policy of a Michigan pub
LEGATION, and that he is constantly
engaged through the various Rus

organized by them with view
to relieving the distress of recent
immigrants and aiding them to
become self sustaining and useful
citizens of that country. The He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society is cooperating with
the order in this work.
Through the Charge d. Affairs
at Washington, an appeal was
sent by President Kraus to the
Mexican government. 1t prayed
that immigrants fleeing from per-
secution in Central Europe be
favorably received in Mexico and
stated that the Order would do
whatever it could to aid them in
becoming self sustaining. In &C
knowledging the communication
the Charge d. Affairs wrote as
follows:
"Sir: I am in receipt of your
esteemed favor of the 10Th instant
which came to confirm what the
Hon. Simon Wolf personally ex-
pressed to be in regard to the
fear entertained in regard to the
situation of some Jewish imni-
grants in Mexico and to the in
tentions of your organization to
come to their assistance.
In due reply l beg to inform
you that complying with your re-
quest, a translation of your letter
has been transmitted to the ap-
propriate authority of my govern
ment for its consideration and to
state, as l told Mr.. Wolf, that no
foreigner is deported from Mex
leo without substantial reasons
that may warrant such action and
that no religious or racial pref
udice prevail in Mexico.
AS soon as reply is received on
this matter, l shall be glad to
communicate with you again.
MANUEL TELIEZ,
Charge d. Affairs ad interim"
Mr.. A. B. Seelenfreund, Secre-
tary of the Order, is now in Eur
ope where he will remain for
about three months, extending
the relief organization of the Or
der and establishing local contact
between the B'nai Birth Lodges
in. Europe and Jewish war or
phans who are being supported
by donations from American
B'nai Birth Lodges. Mr.. See
lenfreund will also endeavor to
prevent, as far as possible, the
sending of immigrants to Ameri-
ca, who under the present Immi-
grafton Act, could not be ad-
mitted to this country.

LIBERTY BONDS.

The Louisville Courier journal, no.
ting the steady increase in the price
If Liberty bonds, is reminded of the
story of the noted Jewish rabbi of
Baltimore who congratulated Cardi-
nal Gibbons on the fact that the car
Iinal had just reached the age Of "a.
Our dear cardinal" said the rabbi,
in a spirit of religious liberation pc
culiar to America, "is now "a. We
are holding him at par, and We are
hoping he will go to a premium"
The average American may wish
the same thing for Liberty bonds.
And as a matter Of fact these bonds
have never been, and never will be,
worth less than one hundred cents on
the dollar. They may easily become
worth more.
The man who has sold his Liberty
bonds for less than par has been
swindled.
