OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.

Mr.. Barnard NJ. Baruch, noted
fnancier who spoke in Columbia the
other day, is quoted as giving two
things upon which the price of cotton
will depend. He says: "What is the
outlook for cotton? Well, the price
depends upon two things. One is
the size Of the next crop. The other
is the time that passes before Ameri-
ca gets in and helps straighten out the
affairs of the world.
eff America had taken her proper
place in 1919, the south today would
be the most prosperous part of this
country.
Gas to the present situation, the
solution rests with the individual.
Legislation can bring but little relief.
Some of us-most of us-lived ex-
travagantly during the extremely
prosperous years. Now the time for
reckless extravaganza has passed"
Mr.. Baruch is about correct. The
time is not yet here for the applica-
ton Of the first remedy suggested.
The cotton farmer would be very
foolish to plant a big crop. We do
not believe it is going to be planted.
We have all the while thought the
second remedy he suggested was the
main cause of the low price. The
world needs what we have and would
be glad to pay a good price for it, if
it had the money, and we should be
able to give those who want and need
what we have grown the opportunity
to get it. We can not understand
! how there can be an overproduction
Of anything to eat or to wear so long
as a great part of the world is starv-
ing and naked and is calling for help
from Us. Why not give them an op-
portunity to go to work and buy what
we have and get in position to pay
for it.
And he is correct also in the state
ment that all, of US spent too freely
when the spending was good. We
never dreamed that the defation was
coming SO soon and so suddenly. The
south could have been independent if
we had only .conserved our resources
and paid our debts when the paying
was good and easy. But we didn't,
and the only thing left now is to 90
to work and be happy and make the
most of the conditions, because they
could be a great deal worse than they
are.

not because it was not an interesting
and helpful meeting. but somehow
just had so much to do that l could
not get to it. l regret that there
were not more teachers present. Miss
Chauncey Blackburn gave one of the
most interesting and instructive talks
that l have ever heard, and it would
have been helpful to every teacher
to have heard her. l hope she may
find time to come back some time
when we can have more of the teach
ers present.

The cut 5out is still in evidence.
Even if your hearing is defective
there is no trouble in getting the wave
sounds from it. Mayor Blease sug-
gested that he would see that the vio-
lators of this ordinance would be
dealt with according to law if those
who heard the sweet sound from this
musical instrument would become
public informers and produce the ev-
idence, but several citizens have said
to US that they did not think the prop
osition of the mayor was a fair one.
Very few people care to become pub
lie prosecutors when there are per-
sons regularly employed and paid for
that purpose, and besides the individ-
ual would not fall out with the officer
of the law if he should prosecute for
violation, while he would with the in
dividual citizen. Better take our sug-
gestion and repeal the ordinance so
that we could have fewer infractions
of the law in the city, and thus be-
come to that extent more law abid-
ing community.
The cut out is such a useless musi-
cal instrument that we had hoped
that the drivers of cars would take
our suggestion and cut it out. But
then they do not. Maybe they have
not seen the suggestion.

The next meeting Of the associa-

The school money IS getting little
low and we have had to withhold pay
ment of teachers for a short time.
1t is probable that those who have not
paid taxes will not do so now until the
latter part of April inasmuch as the
time has been extended to the first
of May. But now that the legislature
has adjourned we may get pretty soon
the state aid, and that will help some
to keep us going on a cash basis.

e Dl ITORIAL
JUDAISM IN FRANCE

Professor Richard Gottheil of
New York, who has just returned
from France, draws an exceed
ingly gloomy picture OF the con-
dition of Judaism in France. Ac-
cording to him the days of Juda-
ism in that country are num-
bered. Others who have come
back from France seem to share
that opinion.
Yet we are not sure that the
pessimism which all such &C
counts of the conditions in
France tend to inspire, is alto
gether justifable. If Judaism had
depended for strength and sub
stance upon French Jewry alone
it might have long ago died out.
The truth is that the Jews who
had immigrated to France from
Russia and Poland have long
kept up Jewish teaching and Jew
ish practice in that country. 1t
was those immigrants and not
the native French Jews that have
for a number of years formed the
backbone of Judaism in the land
of the old Jewish savants and
scholars. And it is undoubtedly
due to the fact that Jewish i'm
migration to France from East
ern Europe has been checked by
the World War that the mort
bund condition has come to stand
out so plainly and prominently
that those who have recently
visited that country have been
shocked to notice it.
Yet who can foretell the
course of events in any country !?
Who can say with any degree of
certainty that Jewish immigra-
ton from Eastern Europe will
not in the near future be diverted
to France? In fact, there is
every reason to expect an influx
of Eastern European Jews into
France. The laws of the country
are comparatively lenient as re-
CARDS immigration. If the anti
Semitism that prevails in Royal
ist circles be disregarded, there
is also more tolerance in France
than there is in many other Euro

Perhaps just because Thanks

peace more terrible than war. In

FLEXIBLE SYNAGOGUES
WHY NOT?

We are still hearing complaints
of synagogues crowded to over
flowing on the Holy Days; of
worshippers turned away when
they came to seek admittance
even once year; and the COM
ments on the Rabbi management
and Judaism, because would-be
worshippers could not be accom-
modated, are caustic, to say the
least. The problem IS perplexing.
Theoretically every Jew should
be able to gain admittance to a
house of worship at any time,
whether member or non-member,
contributor or non-contributor
But actually, the capacity of an,
edi1ce is limited, and once all the
seats are taken no more can be
accommodated. Synagogues have
to provide on the basis of their
known needs. If even fraction
of Holy Day patrons were on
hand at other times in the year,
synagogues, expecting larger at
tendance would provide accord.
ingly. Let Jews show an inclina-
ton to visit the synagogue oft
ener, and facilities adequate even
for the Holy Days will soon be
forthcoming. E>-. ...
But for the present we feel that
the only solution is the flexible
synagogue, synagogue that on:
Holy Days can be stretched to
accommodate the largest attend
ance, and at other times can be
contracted to as small and COM
pact a space as may be needed.
The specifications for cons
tructing such a flexible syna-
gogue? We are only an editorial
writer, not an architect-genius.
To the latter, however, we gladly
pass on Our suggestion.
