What peace? Peace at last it is
hoped from the "disingenuousness in
dealing with the Jew" which Mr.. Bel
loo denounces, the deliberately false
part in relations with Jews, the pecul-
lar pretense, only practised with
Jews" as a result of which "the
Jews who mix with the wealthiest
classes today, especially in London,
have no true idea of their real posi-
ton in the eyes of their. guests"
Peace equally from the deplorable
habit of too many Jews to label as
anti-Semitic "any statement of any
fact with regard to the Jewish race
save a few conventional compliments
or a few conventional and harmless
jests." Other peace? Maybe other
peace too. At least, there will be
frankness and openness in the deal
ings between Jew and non-Jew.
Maybe. If aspirations, even the
humblest could be realized. Mr.. Bel
loo has his solution of the Jewish
problem. If the non-Jewish popula-
ton of the world, at least, were all
replicas Of Mr.. Belloc, the solution
would be plain.

Among those activities which are
particularly emphasized are the regu-

ices for the immigrants, the support
zation, the General Mortgage Bank,
which is helping considerably to solve
the housing shortage in Palestine, the
maintenance of the American Zionist
Medical Unit, and the support of the
Palestine school system. Mr.. Schweit-

private enterprise.

ing OlSdHloIH OlleeI IL you ike dC
rats deserving sinking ship, but if
the ship is sinking and you give up
hope, what good is it to stay on it?
1t is only our unwavering faith in the
existence of the Jewish people that
we remain Jews. Those who hold
that the Jews are dying people, why
to them they are dying people, and
they are dead to the Jews.
Note particularly Mr.. Belloc's
grasp of the essential issue in his
consideration of Zionism. No divid-
ing up here, no looking at the ques-
ton through diminishing glass:
"The one question which is at is
sue," he writes, "is this: Whether
the Zionist experiment will tend to
increase or to relax the strain Gre
ated by the presence of the Jews in
the midst of a non-Jewish world. That
and that only is our concern"
"There is no question:" he pro-
ceeds, "of establishing a State where
in the whole or even the great mass
of the Jewish people shall reside.
What would be the status of the Jew
outside this territorial unit? That is
the question which everybody hest
tates to face; yet that is the question
which will have to be faced sooner or
later as the main political crux of
the whole affair.""
"Tt has been a series of cycles"
he writes in another place, Invariably
following the same steps. The Jew
comes to an alien society, at first in
small numbers. He thrives. His
presence is not resented. He is
rather treated as a friend. Whether
from mere contrast in type-what I
have called Hfriction'-or from some
apparent divergence between his OBJ
jects and those of his hosts, or
through his increasing numbers, he
creates Cor discovery a growing ami
mostly. He resents it. He opposes
his hosts. They call themselves mas
tiers in their own house. The Jew
resists their claim. 1t comes to vio-
lence.
at is always the same miserable
sequence. First welcome; then a
growing, half-conscious ill-ease; next
a elimination in acute ill-ease; lastly
catastrophe and disaster; insult, per-
secution, even massacre, the exiles
flying from the place of persecution
into new district where the Jew is
hardly known, where the problem has
never existed or has been forgotten.
He meets again with the largest hos
pitality. There follows here also, af-
ter a period of amicable interfusion,
a growing half-conscious ill-ease,
which next becomes acute and leads
to new explosion, and so on, in a
fatal round"
And the solution? Is there then in
life solution? Solution is death.
What will the generations of the fu-
ture have to look forward to, if the
Messiah should come? After solu-
ton, what? When the sum is solved,
it is finished. And we wipe it off the
slate.
But Mr.. Belloc does offer solution.
Let us see what it is: eff the Jew
ish nation comes to express it's own
pride and patriotism openly, and
equally openly to admit the necessary
limitations imposed by that express
sion; if we on our side frankly accept
the presence of this nation as a thing
utterly different from ourselves, but
with just as good right to existence
as we have; if we renounce our pre-
fences in the matter. if we talk of

ment of banal question in refresh
ingly new manner. Hilaire Belloc's
"The Jews" stirred English Jewry
The reaction of one of them, even if
it represents the view of minority,
should interest American Jews.-Edi-
tor.
What is Anti-Semitism, anyhow?
Immediately one speaks of the Jews,
and does not use the sentimental
phraseology of Nathan the WISE"
he is dubbed an anti-Semite and con-
demned forthwith. There may be all
sorts of reasons for that. The Jews
have been so constantly subjected to
attack that. they may be forgiven for
fiinching from every one who comes
up to them as if he were foe. But
that does not alter things. The child
who has been stuffed with dangerous
foods will grow up to be cantanker-
Gus old man, with ruined digestion.
1t is not his fault perhaps, but it does
not improve him anyway. The peo-
pie in Eastern Europe who are
stricken down with loathsome disease
are the victims of circumstance, but
they are not bit more pleasant COM
pany for that reason.
What do we Jews gain from that
SNUG pkilo -Semitism current among
sentimental Liberals, who close their
respectable eyes to the fact that any
Jewish problem exists, that we should
denounce what we please to term an
ti-Semitism, which merely accepts
what we ourselves are anxious to get
onoo,,toI tho+ thayco &c Iicfivoot
Jewish problem which must be faced?
"The Jews" of people who spoke of
the Jew as nothing other than citi-
zen with a particular religion. 1t had
become odious to nineteenth century
thought that religious differences
(Which it regarded as nothing more
than shades of doubtfully-held pri-
vate opinion) should be the concern
of the State. A large number of peo-
PIE thought of the Jews, not as race,
but only as religion; and regarding
all religions thus, they concluded that
it would involve no dlminution of citi-
zenship" What have we Jews to do
with such? Are these our friends
and is Belloc the enemy? Are we
not at one with him in his denuncia-
ton of these "most shameless lies
Abraham Cohen, Pole,' M. Nose
witch, distinguished Rumanian,'
Mr.. Schiff and other representative
Americans M. Bergson with his
typically French lucidity,' Macmillan
Harden, always courageous in his
criticism of his own people (his own
being the Germany and the
rest of the rubbish"
How many points of agreement we
have with Mr.. Belloc! Listen to this,
"of the special forms of courtesy with
which the Jew is treated, the cour-
tesy expressed by those who have no
intimate relations with them and do
not desire TO have intimate relations
with them. 1t is almost invariably,
in those who commonly avoid the
Jew, courtesy which expresses pa
tronage on the surface of it. 1t may
be compared with the courtesy that
rich men show to poor men-as Of
fcnsive a thing as there is in the
world.
And again, "the problem of Jewish
immigration. We mask it under false
names, calling it the alien question:

A Reward Worth While

There was, house with garden around it on q hill in the country. A boy was hoeing the ground and his dog was wandering off toward the woods nearby. John had become attached to Rover, who was given to John by neighbor when he was only pup. but he had grown up quite fast; he was an Airedale terrier.
 The woods were full of wild rab- bits, foxes, snakes and wolves. Rover had caught the scent of a wolf and followed him up and saw him leap on a little girl who was picking ber- ries. The girl screamed as the wolf was trying to bite her throat. Rover leaped on the wolf and sank his teeth in his neck and the wolf let the girl go. The girl took advantage of her chance to escape and ran away.
 The wolf and Rover rolled over and over and the wolf tried to. shake Rover off but without success.
 We will return to John, who went to look for Rover.
 He walked about two miles in the woods when he saw little girl cry ing and she had some, blood on her face; she was running, and John said, Hello, what's the matter, little girl?' She turned, and between sobs. told

BOB'S LESSON


 Bob was very mischievous little boy. He thought it a whole lot of fun to tease animals.
 One day Bob received an invitation to party. His mother told him, to his great joy, that he could go. Bob could hardly wait until the day arr rived. At last the day came when he was to go to the party.
 Bob was just coming out of hls house when he espied a dog. Bob put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a cracker. He held the cracker in the air to see if the dog could reach it. All of a sudden the dog caught Bob's hand in his teeth. The dog didn't let go until a passer- by rescued him. Bob then ran in his house and showed his mother how the dog bit him. His mother inn mediately called up the doctor and told him to come over and see Bob's hand. When the doctor came he looked at the hand and said 1t was very seriously bitten. He then bandaged it up and told Bob he would not be able to use his hand for some weeks. This was very unfortunate as 1t was his right hand.
 Bob could not go to the party, snd all because he leased the dog. He learned very good lesson, as he never leased any animals any more. Jeanette Meyers (aged 12).

 They had reached the piece and saw the two animals; tbe wolf was just about dead.
 John saw Rover bleeding and dusty. and tears came to his eyes. He grabbed a piece of wood and gave the wolf a fearful blow on the head. He then ran over to Rover, who was lying down and breathing heavily. He took out his handkerchief and bound up Rover's wounds and put him on his shoul- der and carried him home. He then bathed him, and the next day Rover was feeling fine. The girls father gave him a gold medal with a pretty stone in 1t. He gave John sold watch and chain. John also got $50 from the city for killing a wolf. be- cause they were very destructive and killed a lot of lambs.
 And now Rover is honored by the whole village.-Harley Griffishs (ags f3).
