"They shall go from strength

"They shall go from strength
to strength" "May-ha-yil ell ho-
yil' is the Jewish way of express
ing progress from one worthy en-
deavor to the next. This surely
applies to the Twin Cities, espe-
cially in 1922. No sooner is the
Keren Hayesod campaign gotten
out of the way than the Jewish
War Relief comes with it's insist
ent appeal. It may not be amiss
to add that as the term "Ha-yip''
may mean either Strength" or
wealth" the Twin Cities will do
themselves credit in the War Re-
lief both in the strength" of the

TO RETAIN go QUOTA FOR
ANOTHER YEAR

Washington g. T. Alt is
now certain that the immigration
Committee will report a bill ex-
tending the three per cent quota
system for another year from the
expiration of the present law in
June, with but few changes.
Sentiment in favor of Repre-
sentative Johnson's bill for adj
mission to close relatives of
American citizens, introduced be-
fore the Christmas recess, has all
but disappeared, Johnson himself
having given it up, it is under
stood. This is probably due to
the opposition Of the Senate
which is immovably insistent
upon the retention of the quota
law.

THE AMERtcAN JEWtSH WORLD

Only when an exact enumeration
can be made of those who are
Orthodox, Conservative or Re-
form; Zionistic, anti-Zionistic or
neutral, only then will partisans
be able to prove their boasts OF
numerical strength.
And even if such census could
be taken, would it not depend
upon the auspices under which it
is undertaken. The average per-.
son, fortunately or unfortunately,
is not we'll versed on current Jew
ish questions. He will respond,
if at all, to the one who ap-
proaches him. AS the Talmud
points out: "NIT-BO-IN LAY
GEL V'NOS-NIN, NIT-BO-1N
L'MISH KAN V'NOS-N N"
("When they were asked to con-
tribute to make the golden calf,
they gave; when they were asked
for the Tabernacle, they gave.")
In other words, it really depends
upon the zeal and the Salesman
ship" of the solicitor. So a cen
sus if not futile would be uncon-
vincing.
And yet in this very fact lies
the hope of the various groups in
Jewry. Unless each felt that it
has large prospective clientele
among whom it could prohtably
work, increasing its numbers and
charging its sphere of influence,
what incentive would it have to
work and carry on?
So until conditions materially
change, each and every element
in Jewry will continue to manu-
facture and quote its own stats
tics, with no one in position to
dispute or deny.

JEWISH HELPLESSNESS

The unprecedented success of
the present campaign in behalf OF
the Jewish War Relief is indeed
a source of qualification to all who
have the cause of our people and
our faith at heart. When it is
remembered that, in spite of the
general depression and the spirit
of pessi1nism which is so largely
noticeable in the commercial
world at the present time, this
years campaign bids fair to
eclipse the previous War Relief
campaigns, as far as the generos-
ity and liberality of our people
are concerned, it can readily be
seen what vast strides we have
made in the art of intelligent CIV
ing. Yet, it must be remembered
also that every relief campaign
emphasizes strongly the condi-
ton of helplessness in which our
people find themselves. If it
were not for that condition, char
ity for the victims of the recent
war would no longer be needed
among Our people abroad. For,
the charity that American Jewry
has been called upon to contrib
ute during the past three years
for the relief of Our brethren
abroad has been made necessary,
not by the war itself, but by the
cruelty and inhumanity on the
part of the nations after the war.
The three hundred thousand Jew
ish orphans that are at present
homeless and shelterless in Euro
pean lands have, for the most
part, been orphaned, not by the
war itself, but by the pogroms
and massacres that followed the
war. The four hundred thousand
Jewish refugees that are today
driven from place to place and
find themselves without means
and without goal present spe-
cifc Jewish problem that betok-
ems Our helplessness.
A good illustration of Jewish
helplessness is furnished by a
comparison of the Jewish situa-
ton with that of Ireland. Re-
Gently, the Irish suffered from
