Random Thoughts
BY Charles III. Joseph.

this months international" Norman
Hapgood continues to show in great
er detail than ever just what colos-
sal fool Ford has been in his Jew
mania; how he lent his aid and spent
his money for work of such vile de-
scription that no man with the
slightest pretense to manhood could
countenance, let alone finance those
underground spies. Think of it,
citizens of the United States; you
have a man aspiring to be the Chief
Executive of this nation who en-
gagged men so low, with motives SO
low that they tried to trace tele-
phone connection between the apart
ment of Justice Brandeis and the
White House in the hope that prob
ably such wire could be trapped and
the scoundrels could possibly CLEAN
some information to show that the
Jews were all that the erratic mind
of the Worlds Greatest Dupe imag-
ined. Ones blood boils as one
reads the story of the rascals this
man Ford hired to check up his
crazy ideas. I would be in favor of
having millions of copies of the
Hapgood story struck off and mailed
broadcast to show the nation just
what sort man Henry Ford is to
countenance that which is repug-

VACATIONING

At this time of the year the woods
are full of them. And those who are
not in the woods would be if they
could. Nobody can criticize anybody
for that, certainly not. But even in
the woods, one cannot completely es-
cape conventions. Nobody really
wants to for that matter, at least not
all conventions. There are always
some conventions which somebody,
some place, thinks ought to be OBJ
served by other people. That is why
this little editorial is being edited.
But getting back into the woods
Sunday is as welcome there as in
town to most people. The celebra-
tion of one day week as day Of
rest ought to appeal to every Jew
since the Jews apparently started the
habit anyhow. Not everybody agrees
on the day to be celebrated but that
is unimportant. Sunday is Sunday,
woods or no woods.
The exact point is this,-if Sunday
is day of rest in the city, is it not
also in the country? Legally, of
course, that is true. Practically it is
more than true. That is why people
travel all the way from the Kansas
prairies or the hot southern city
streets or the western desert plains
to the cool Minnesota woods-to rest.
The American Jewish world., 1922-07-28

Now to come to the real point: The
Jew above all people ought to show a
decent respect for Sabbath celebra-
ton, no matter by what creed, coun-
try or crowd. But occasionally a Jew
forgets his opportunities in this di-
rection. Of course, it is not claimed
that Jews have a monopoly on this
lapse of memory. Not even Mr.. Ford
would claim that. But it is distress
ing to hear or see the peace and quiet
of a Sunday summer wood-lawn scene
marred by Jewish card experts argu-
ing loudly and long over deceased
hand. 1t is worse for a Jew than a
non-Jew for two reasons: First, he
started this Sunday business and he
ought to be consistent and keep it up;
and second, if Jew commits breach
of decorum it is promptly charged up
to the Jew.
So let's censor ourselves. Play
cards if you care to rest or work or
worship that way. But put muffler
on your voice, and screen in front
of your table. You will feel better
and so will your gentle neighbors,
and so will your Jewish contempo-
raries.

The Bamberger family seem to
have found comfortable place in
the affections of Gentle and Mormon
in Utah. Simon Bamberger was
elected Governor of Utah in 1916;
and now see that Ernest Bamberger
has been unanimously chosen as
nominee for United States Senator
on the Republican ticket. So it looks
as if there is at least one state in
the Union where the principles Of
real Americanism are not merely
preached but practiced. 1t is quite
unusual to have such political hon
ors according to the Jewish citizens
of this country. The only other
state that has had Jewish Governor
is Idaho when Moses Alexander was
elected in 1913 or IA; and it is in
teresting to note that he was re-
elected which indicates the value Of
his administration.
The White House attaches should
have fumigated that part of that
historic edifice in which sat Mr.. e.
G. Liebold, Ford's secretary, who
went to see the President last week.
1t is unfair to ask decent minded
men to breathe the same atmosphere
as this man, the chief of the spy
bureau of the Ford organization. In

TISHA B'AB 56S2

There is no doubt that never since
the Destruction did Jewry face Tisha
b'Ab with the sentiments of this
year. True, the disabilities of the
Jews and their oppression are still
manifest in some European lands.
But of SURPRISING Importance is the
fact that now, on the threshold of
the erstwhile sad month Alb, the
Mandate was confirmed and the re-
building of Palestine is about to be-
gin in earnest. Indeed, that fact is
of the greatest significance to the
very Jews who may be still suffering
in Europe. To them especially it
brings a ray of hope and deliverance.
Often before have Jews approached
the Fast of Alb (quite regardless of
whether they fasted) wishing "May
this be the last time Jews need OBJ
serve the anniversary of the Temples
destruction" Probably never before
were there so many Jews who felt,
with such good cause, that this Tisha
b'Ab may really be the last!
We think we know why Morgen-
thau is so anxious to organize syn
dicate to rehabilitate Austria's
finances to save that country from
ruin. 1t is probably to repay Aus

Jewish-Arabic amity can hardly
foresee. Without delving into his
tory to prove that the Mohamme-
dams and the Jews got along better
than other groups, we can depend
upon the sense of fair play of the
Jew. The Jew has so long been
the sufferer from the oppression that
the many mete out to the few, that
he has learnt the lesson of toler-
ance far too well to turn oppressor.
We can foresee such amicable rela-
tions between the Jew and the Arab
in Palestine, that governments beset
with the problem of conflicting racial
groups will send representatives to
Palestine to learn the secret of Jew
ish-Arabic cooperation.
BY a strange coincidence the ses-
sion of the Leagues Council fell on
the seventy-fifth birthday of Earl
Balfour, England's representative in
the League of Nations, and author
of the famous Balfour Declaration.
Balfour has had long and illus
trious career, and as statesman and
writer of the first rank, there is
much in his career that will make
his name live. But it is doubtful
if any single occurrence in his long
and useful life will bring him as
much credit as his association with
Jewish aspirations. BY strange
play of history, those who have be-
friended the Jew have added glory
to their name just as those who
bounded the Jews have been stigma
tiZed. II will bless them that bless
thee, and him that curseth thee will
I curse" may be only Biblical SEN
timent, but there is many a Gentle
that takes it to heart literally. Bal
four is but another instance of how
the forecast is fulfilled.
The implications of the Mandate
for the Jew are too clear to need
celebrating. 1t is privilege and
responsibility; it is boon, yet a
burden, it dignifies the Jew as per-
haps no event since the equal rights
that were the fruit of the French
Revolution, but it is also a test of
manhood and of merit. Non-Zionists
and anti-Zionists can never again
take the same position as before the
mandate. The public opinion of the
world recognizes the needs, the pos
sibilities, the promise of Palestine
for the Jews. The Jew must do the
building! The world can give its
approval, it's moral support, it's
sanction. But the accomplishment
must be of and by the Jew. Those
who have all along been ardent will
not dare fall back now. Those who
have been aloof cannot stand back
Indifferent. Palestine calls for a
united Israel to rebuild it. Shall the
call fall on deaf ears? That we can
never believe.

The North, I'm told,

For all that is sold

The West has eyes,
The West is wise,
But there will not go;

The East has streams
That flow with dreams,
And there, oh there I'll go;
For dreams are truth
And love and youth
They make mans soul-wings grow.

e DI TORIAL
WHAT THE MANDATE INVOLVES

IL
Eighteen years, almost to the day,
after Theodore Herzl died in his
prime toiling over what skeptics
called dream, the dream became a
reality when the Council of the
League of Nations ratified the Brit
ish mandate for Palestine. Herzls
ideal, as expressed in the program
adopted by the Zionist congress at
Basle, and hence styled "the Basle
Program called for legally Sc
cured, publicly assured home for the
Jew in Palestine" The mandate is
almost identically that, and will lead
to all that Herzl strove for 1t sure
1y was legally secured, for in spite
of opposition from many sources and
of various types, in spite of opposi-
tfon that stopped at naught in it's
efforts to foil the Jewish aspirations,
the conscience of humanity, the in
ternational sense of fair play pre-
vailed, and out in the open with the
assent and approval of the great
powers and America, public assur-
ance has been given by the world
that Palestine is to become a Home
land for the Jew.
1t is difficult to imagine a more
romantic fulillment of prophecy
than the ratification of the mandate
involved. Perhaps not the least ro-
mantle feature is the time, for it
came during the "Three Weeks" the
period of mourning over olden
glories and olden misfortunes. We
can well imagine the mystic reading
in this occurrence, the fulfllment of
the old prophecy that on the very
days when Israel's glory fed, Isra-
els glory would return. At any rate
it so happens that during the days
preceding the Ninth of Alb when
thoughts of the Temples destruction
are reflected in Jewish custom and
observance, new thoughts of rebirth
are forging to the front in contem-
porary Jewish life.
AS to the relationship of the Jews
and the Arabs, there is, no doubt that
If left to themselves these two
branches of the Semiti6 family will
discover many grounds of co-opera-
tion and common interests which
even the most sanguine believers in

Overheard on the Telephone
Gordon calling up one of the Rab-
bis): Mazzel Tov, Mazel Tov. Did
you hear the good news?
The Rabbi: Nit mazzol zoll man
leben. What's the good news? An
other birth?
Dir. Gordon: Yes, new birth, the
Jewish rebirth. The mandate has
been confirmed!
The Rabbi: In that case, with all
my heart, MaZZel TOv.
Every prominent Zionist who was
in the city or who could be reached
on short notice responded to the in
vitation of DR.. Gordon to come to
his home on Saturday evening last
to celebrate the confirming of the
Palestine mandate. Reports state
that the Rabbis, doctors, editors and
Hebraists present made it a real
"simchah," with chorus singing and
dancing. All present enjoyed the
spirit of the occasion.
