NEWS OF THE JEWISH WORLD

| Castiljan tongue he has to come TO
New York to study it from these
Jews. They have their own syna-
gogue, their own congregation ana
They stand aside from other Jews.
They consider themselves superior,
for their ancestors have been tortured
on the rack of Spain.
Every other day there arises a
new great poet or prosateur on the
East Side. One day il was Moritz
Rosenfeld; another day II is Leon
Dolitzky, a six-foot giant, who was
Legendary figure in Jewish life be-
fore he was twenty: You can still
meet him on Division street as
straight as an arrow at seventy, and
if he likes you well enough he will
read to you his latest love song.
Then came Abraham Raisin, that
sweetest of all singers. Sholom Ash,
unsuccessful with three books, sud
denly attracts attention with his God
of Vengeance and Pinski, Cahan,
Moishe Nadir, Libin, Jehoash, Perez
Hirshbein Gin whose plays Ben-Ami
starred (and host of others too
numerous TO mention.
There are a dozen Jewish theaters
in Greater New York, with some 300
plays in their repertoire. The Yid-
dish Broadway is an exact duplicate
of the real Broadway. Actors and
managers the world over are of the
fetal distinction. But the Jewish act

to the American stage some of it's
best-the Schildkrauts (father and
son), Ben-Ami, the Adlers, the Lari-

President Coolidge Urges Jewish Edu-
cntsoms


Those who come to our shores
must bring what they have which
is good with them and never cease
to cherish it," President Calvin
Coolidge wrote in 4 letter to the
Jewish Educational Association, which
is engaged in campaign to raise n
half million dollars to further Jewish
education in New York city.
The full text of the Presidents let
ter is: ''One of the dangers of
America is that those who come here
will break with their past. People
need something to which they can tie.
They need that obedience which is
only born of reverence. The senti-
ment of reverence comes only from
knowledge. There is room in our
country for everything that is good;
there is no restraint here save against
evil. Those who come to our shores
must bring what they have which is
good with them and never cease to
cherish it.
Teach the ancient landmarks to
the youth of the Jewish race. Let
them learn to Venerate freedom by
coming unto a knowledge of the
truth. That learning and wisdom
which has been a sustaining inf1u-
cnce to the Jewish race through all
the centuries must be preserved for
the benefit of mankind. The youth
of your people can associate them
selves for no more patriotic purpose.

The Legitimacy of the Yiddish Lam
guage.

From time to time the question Of
the legitimacy of the Yiddish lam
guage is raised, sometimes from
malice, but most often from isno-
rance. An illuminating exposition of
the Yiddish language, as contained IN
an article by David Goldhlatt. editor
OF the Yiddish Encyclopedia. will
therefore be interesting.
"Yiddish." he says. "is a living Ian
guage, not only because millions of
people speak it, but because it is
also a stimulating instrument of
thought. The Jewish people not only
speak Yiddish, but also dream in 1t.
1t has produced great men and geni-
uses from its midst that have aroused
the envy of other nations. Zangwili,
a Jeiwsh lad of the English speaking
type, discovered and disclosed in his
early days that the Yiddish-speaking
Jews of the Ghetto are all dreamcrs
and idealistS, and when he tod II to
the world no one contradlcted him.
ON the contrary. he became famous
for 1t. In fact, he became dreamer
himself through their influence. Miss
Helen Frank, a niece Il the late Duke
of Westminster, discovered by learn
ing Yiddish that the j. wish people,
as a whole, live more ideal life than
any other. Clemens JunoSZa, the
Polish translator of Abramowitzs :
works, thought the Yiddish-speaking
people to be a pleasant revelation to
any one who studies them.
Taking figures as a basis. the
Yiddish language is spoken by 4
larger number of people than the
Portuguese and the Greek languages
combined; yet no one ever questioned
them. The Serbian language has not
produced higher intellectual stand
ard among its people than the Yid-
dish has, nor has the Bulgarian any
better showing in spite of its educa-
tional system, which the Yiddish has

The Greatest Jewish City in the World.


Apropos of the mixed element of
"the greatest Jewish city in the
world (New York;, konrad Bercovici
writes in The Nation:
There are more Jews in New York
than in Palestine-more than Pales-
tine can ever hope to have. Down
on Allen street, under the elevated
railway, where the sun never pene-
trates, where the night is only a
little darker than the day, live the
Syrian and Moroccan Jews. You may
see them on the street in~+iViiian
garb, but in their stores and houses,
hammeriug out brass for lanterns
and working at curiously patterned
jewelry as they sit on their heels,
garments-the wide, large. folded
pantaloons that come down TO mar
row cuff at the ankles of bare feet
in red slippers. They wear long
boards covering their chests. And
their heavy, dark-eyed, olive-skinned
women wear taSSeled skirts and white
shawls over their heads. Try to
speak Yiddish to them. Not word
do they understand. They speak He
brew and Spanish-the old Castilian,
to be exact. For they, too. are de

ago, but they took the language of

New Jewish Finance Minister i'm Ger

i
many.
\ new financial genius has arisen
| in Germany upon whom the father
! land is pinning its faith to solve the
most distressing problem that is en-
barrassing that country. Before he
was called TO the ministry of finance
he won his spurs in journalism as
! editor of Freiheit, the official organ
: of the independent socialists. But he
! then had already established for him
, self a record as one of the foremost
s.. financial authorities in the land of his
birth and rearing.
As already remarked, he is the
{ spiritual kin of Rathenau, that other
Jewish giant of German politics. He
! is not quite as brilliant as Rathenau.
His eloquence lacks something of the
formers captivating adroitness, but
his mind IS just as ALIEN mbracing and
as ingenious Upon the appointment
OF Rathenau he was frequently men
! toned as prospective member of the
j ca binet. but the shot that extin-
guiShed Rathenau'S career also frus-
! trated that plan. However, his name
, continued to be mentioned as an in
evitable minister, not so much among

anxious TO see capable man at the
His features show a pronounced
Semitic Stran. The warmth of his
look, the music in his voice, his lofty
thought and the intensity of his emo
tion all bespeak pride of race. Like
Rathenau before him. he is the tar
get of attack on the part of the
] anti-Semitic pan-Germans. Rathenau
was looked upon as the savior OF
! Garmany, and Hileferding is expect
! ed TO lead that country out OF its
financial dark alley. One wonders
[ what the fates have in stort for him.
| 1t is not easy to forget Rathenau's
| tragedy when one speaks of Hilfer-

The Larger Task Before American

| Though not OF tour of investi-
cation. DR.. Nathan Krass. recently

returned from Europe. was struck
by the unanimous faith with which
European Jews await the help of
! their American brethren. America
has become symbolic of the Messiah
! who is to lead them out of the will

called demoralized Europe, the solu-
tion of which depends upon variety

! DR.. Krass is of the opinion that

 Mir. Roswell. president of the bank whore Gray had first made himself known. was shrewd, forceful man who had attained position in buH- ness and arrived at a time of life when he could well afford to indulge his likes and dislikes
 Roswell had liked Gray upon their first meeting, and that liking had deepened. Owing to that fact, he had neglected to secure report upon him, assuring himself that there was always time for such formalities. He was cordial today when Gray strode into his office bringing Gus Briskow with him.
 The banker listened with interest to what he was told, then he studied the map that Briskow spread upon his desk showing the location of his own and other nearby wells.
 That looks like a sure thing" Roswell said. finally. "As sure as anything in oil can be. What Is on your mind?"
 "Id like to get the opinion of the banks oil expert" Gray told him.
 This was a matter easily disposed of; the expert was summoned and he rendered prompt opinion. He knew the property; he considered it a cheap lease at a thousand dollars an acre. It was proven stun ana within thirty days 1t would prooaoiy treble in value When he had gone, the banker smiled.
