WHERE PATIENCE WOULD HELP

TT is obviously too carly to pass final
l. judgment on the matter of American
participation in the Genoa conference.
The status of that proposed gathering has
unquestionably been Cloudcd by the recent
ministerial upheaval in France. Until It is
more clearly demonstrated that NJ. Poincare
will conform in the main to the policies Of
his predecessor, the outlines Of reconstruc-
ton must remain obscured.
BY their very nature, however, crises
must eventually subsidc. Within the last
few days belief has evidently grown in
Europe that the French republic will find
It impossible to maintain o violently OBJ
structonary attitude.
Invitations TO the economic sessions have
been sent TO all European countries except
Turkey and to every nation in the Western
Hemisphere, including the United States
Not few of the Governments solicited may
find IL advisable to defer decision. Economic
rehabilitation has been so long delayed that
the offense OF few weeks postponement
OF the conclave need not rank as more than
venial.
Halfway or sporadic measures will not
suffice TO clarity the tremendous problem
Of the economic salvation of civilization.
The attack should be vigorous and general
all along the line.
Should the date Of the meeting be changed
10 some time later in the spring, the con-
clusion Of the Washington Conference would
enable this Government to concentrate at
tention upon the next step in world rscov-
cry. Just at present, pressing for an Amer
lean point of view regarding the invitation

FOR JUDGE RREGY,S PLACE

NTlLL the Common Pleas bench ultimately
w be dragged down by the slow and re-
lentless process of political exploitation to
the level Of the magistrates courts and
made supplementary TO the interests Of
petty bosses? We do not think so, but the
scramble for the vacancy created by Judge
Bregy's death indicates that something of
the sort may happen in the course of time
II the decent opinion of the city doesn't as
scrt itself in opposition to the tendency Of
professionals in politics to regard judicial
Offices as part Of the routine system of bar
ter and sale.
MIR. Campbell. the Register Of Wills. has
just moved to the front to insist that the
uptown districts should "have a Judge" !"
OF course, he has a friend to suggest for
the place. The Little Napoleon of the
Northeast is thinking in the usual terms
lie is thinking of job rather than of a
judgeship.
Then there is the rumor from Harrisburg
that Governor Sproul may appoint his see
retary, Harry McDevitt, to Judge Bregy's
seat. The rumor does not ring true. The
Governor is not likely to indulge in such
violation of the rules of good taste, oven
though Governors usually feel bound TO
make some provision for their secretaries
as the ends of their terms approach.
After the high standard of qualification
set by himself recently in the naming Of men
for high Office. Governor Sproul can rea-
sonably be depended upon to choose law
yer of wide experience. ample training in
the work of jury trials and Il broad knowl-
edge of legal practice rather than anybody
whose principal recommendation is political
or personal influence, however strong that
may be.

Meraber Of the Associated

mentally favorable TO the bone dry prin-

that the country is no more sober now than

money in the savings banks than there was
before the triumph of the Anti Saloon
League and that we have accomplished
nothing through the prohibition amendment
but new talent in the arts Of hypocrisy.
The chief objection to William c. Me-
Connells occupancy of the Office Of pro-
hibition enforcement director in this State
is that he has been one Of the central causes
Of the doubt and the mystery that surround
the whole question of "dry' law enforce

Office continues to make a bad situation

do not lie. by implication Mr.. Mcconnell
has been at least hopelessly inefficient. He
has ceased under pressure to have any real
part in the work of Law enforcement. lie
continues as a costly ornament on an ex
tremely costly administrative system. He
should have resigned the office long ago.
The people interested in 'dry' law en-
torcemept, like those who merely like to see
all law respected, are justified in asking for
mis- immediate removal

OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY

It is with mingled feelings that we
greet our readers, patrons, and
friends in this, our tenth New Year
number. The American Jewish
World, continuing the Jewish Week
ly, has, we believe, the longest con-
cecutive record of any Jewish peri
odical between Chicago and the
Pacific Coast.
Much water has run under the
bridge since, ten years ago, we made
our first bow before the Jewish COM
munity of the Twin Cities and the
Northwest. During that period, we
have grown with, by, and for the
public we have at all times striyen
to serve. We have witnessed the
Jewish life of the community grow
ing and deepening. We have, we be-
lieve, in a faithful, modest, yet eff
fective way, helped that growth,
standing ready at all times to stress
what was laudable and worthwhile
in Jewish endeavor. And we have
grown, for the larger field of COM
munal endeavor required larger
and more aggressive organ to voice
it's needs and aspirations.
The American Jewish World views
with much hope and earnest deter
mination the enlarged field of in
f1uence and usefulness that confronts
it on the threshold of it's second
decade. 1t hopes in greater measure
even than in the past, to continue re-
sponsive, helpful, and guiding in
every line of Jewish endeavor, en-
riching and advancing the spiritual
and communal life of Jewry in the
Northwest.
To all our friends and we'll wishers,
to our readers and advertisers, we
wish Happy, Very Happy New
Year.

TO DULUTH

Again we welcome the advent of
Duluth and the fine record of Du-
luth's Jewry in this, our New Year
number. The progressive, flourish
ing community at the head of the
Lakes forms worthy addition to
the metropoli of this great State.
Duluth Jewry represents, albeit on
a smaller scale, the activities, am
billions, and accomplishments of a
full-blown Jewish community. 1t is
perhaps no exaggeration to say that
quantitatively and qualitatively, this
metropolis of the north, with the
Iron Range as it's Hinterland, will,
during the years to come, show an
unrivalled growth in many walks of
Jewish life.
We note with pleasure the growing
space necessary to chronicle weekly
the affairs of the zenith City," and
we trust that through the American
Jewish World as medium, the re-
lationship between the three largest
cities of Minnesota will grow, to the
reciprocal benefit of all, and to the
enrichment of the Jewish life of the
entire state and of the Northwest

WELCOME, RABBI MINDA!

We take pleasure in welcoming to
the community Rabbi Albert G.
Minda, who was installed last Friday
evening as Rabbi of Temple Israel.
Rabbi Minda comes preceded by a
praiseworthy record as student and
minister. He has a broad vision of
the problems and tasks of the Jew
ish ministry and comes well equipped
to cope with them.
AS successor to the lamented and
beloved DR.. S. N. Deinard, Rabbi
Minda will find field in Minneapolis
that would try the mettle and call
forth the best in any Rabbi. We
trust that the esteem in which his
predecessor was held may be taken
as an earnest of the regard that an
appreciative congregation pays to a
Rabbi who tolls in the Lords vine
yards-humbly, faithfully, and eff
fectively, and that such regard may,
in time, be accorded to Rabbi Minda.
May the new union just consummated
be happy, enduring and fruitful in
contentment and accomplishment for
both Rabbi and flock.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

the American Jewish World, a page
that will appeal especially to the
young. Most Jewish periodicals,
perhaps of necessity, have written
for the adult reader, limiting their
appeal to the grown-ups, thus neg
lecting the younger generation. 1t
would not be surprising if the young,
when they grow to manhood and
womanhood, would in their turn neg
lect the Jewish Press.
For that reason, we are happy that
we are now in position to include in
our weekly issue department which
though primarily for the young, will
have it's appeal also for the elders.

years, written and edited some splen-

mankind, raising his voice insistently
for the rule of Right upon Earth.
Perhaps that is why, in spite of the
modernism which is affecting all re-
ligions, the Jew still clings to the
spirit of Rosh Hashonoh as the pro-
foundest expression of the Jewish
genius.
We often hear people decrying the
type of Judaism that contents itself
with visiting the synagogue on Rosh
Hashonoh and Yom Kippur, and neg
lecting it the rest of the year. We
surely do not condone such indiffer-
ence and wish even more fervently
than the lay-critics that Jewish OBJ
servance were spread over the entire
year instead of being concentrated
on just a few days. But is there
not another side to the picture? Is
not the hold that Rosh Hashonoh has
upon the Jewish masses symptom,
that deep under the crust of indif-
ference, there is slumbering a spark
of Jewishness and of innate religion
that even the neglect of the whole
year cannot entirely extinguish?
The sages of the middle ages, in
speaking of the Shofar, used the
smile or Waterman sounding the
alarm The Shofar's note seemed to
say, "Ye Sleepers, awake from your
slumber" After all, that is the
truest function of the Shofar. The
mystic taught, that the Shofar or
rams horn, was intended to discom-
fit Satan, the adversary. But what
is most needed is to defeat the ad-
versary within us, the adversary of
Indifference and neglect that is far
more formidable to the progress of
religion than any outward foe could
be. So the Shofar today, as in the
past, may well be the signal of an
awakened Jewish spirit making Rosh
Hashonoh indeed the beginning of
New Year of regeneration and high
resolve.
Be that the spirit in which we OBJ
serve this day!

ROsH HAsHONOH THOUGHTS

The more one refers to the order
or services for the Holy Days, the
more one is impressed with the fact
that Rosh Hashonoh, though OBJ
served only by the Jews, was in
tended for and might we'll be adopted
by the world as a universal holiday.
This thought is borne in upon the
consciousness of thoughtful people,
especially at this time.
The world is still wallowing, help
lessly and hopelessly in the weller
resulting from the World War, and
yet, the, horizon is darkened by the
threat of a new conflict "a conflict
which, should it come, would be as
senseless, as needles, and as futile as
most wars are. We do not propose
to enter here into a consideration
Of the factors involved in the present
crisis in the Near East, nor to analyze
the basic causes of the recent World
War. Yet look for moment at the
underlying sentiment of the Jewish
New Year, as expressed in it's
liturgy! ''Now, therefore, o Lord
our God, impose Thine awe upon all
Thy works, and Thy dread over all
that Thou hast created, that all Thy
works may fear Thee and all
form one band to do Thy Will with
perfect heart Then shall the
just see and be glad, the upright
shall exult :. and all wickedness
shall be wholly consumed like
smoke" Can you imagine that if
the world believed in just, strict,
and Understanding God that wars
would be possible?

reading his prayers is awakened to
his duties to act as the teacher of
