Favus, which In Itiissia Is known as
still affects mt least ten thousand jew
ish children. As matter OF fact, this
is NOT at all a distinctively Jewish
disease. but has taken hold of so many
the Jewish children whose parents have
been pogromized. who have been driven
from their homes and who have been
forced, as consequence. to live in
disease-breeding conditions. As mat
ter of fact. the Tartar aud Volgn ref
ugee children have also developed II
good deal of favus. which proves that
this infection is not anti semitic. Every
considerable city in the Ukraine has II
favus hospital but unfortunately there
are too few Roentgen machines and too
few tubes for these machines that are
available. SO that the number of chill
dren who can he treated is very small.
This is the most pressing medical prob
lem now being tackled by the Amcri-
can Joint Distribution committee in its
Russian relief campaign.
The revival of cooperative banks
known as Loan Knssas,' is one of the
most striking developments in the
Russian economic situation. Under the
new economic policy, such cooperative
banks may get charters and do busi-

fortunately the continuous drop in the
value of the paper rubles makes it diff
ficult for these loan kassas to operate
without loss. If one hundred million

at the forty million rate. Obviously
under such system. the loan kassa
would be bankrupt in n few months
Such n result can be guarded against
by making only very short time loans
with installment repayments at very
frequent intervals. Another method is
to make the borrower repay his loai

The Role of the Liberal Rabbi

To the Editor of the Nation;
Sir: In Christen,lom Dr. Grant is
being damned for heresy. and at the
same time in Jcwry the Union OF Amer
lean Hebrew Congregations holds lis
Golden Jubilee convention. The coin
cidcuce is worthy of because the
union represents religion which,
though antcdnting the Episcopal church
by milleania. is yet young enough not
to comprehend even the possibility OF
short of the crudest atheism could put
n reform rabbi in danger of dismissal.
critical attitude toward the Bible
and all ritual. far from being regarded
n secret vice. an inexciicable pervesion'
to be locked In the nethermost recesses
of his heart is expected and demanded
of him. As result the liberal rabbi
is enabled to do his work of guidance
and friendliness without hypocrisy or
reservation: and rs further result
he is i'm many communities throughout
the land ginning significant following
not alone of Jews but also of intelli-
gent Christians.
But according to certain of its lead
ers. liberal Judaism is not yet suftl-
ciently liberal. Ii is at present too
markedly a rich mans religion, too
distinctly fashionable cult. Conse-
uuently its progressiveness is coniin-
ed to matters of theology and ritual.
and fails to flood the fields of economics
and industry where there is drought
and sore need of water today. The
pillars of the temples" will not bat
an eyelid at the widest of theological
heresies but they grow stiff and stony
at the mildest political rndicalism.
Even so guarded liberal as Rabbi
Stephen s. Wise is looked upon by
many of the laity as "Bolshevist.
The newer generation of rabbis, OF
course. is leading the revolt. and just
as Isaac NJ Wise and his colleagues
thundered against orthodoxy in ritual
n half century ago so do these younger
abbis cry out against it in economics.
Perhaps il is in large part because
these Younger rabbiS are still in the
minority that so many American Jews
are still unsynagogued. Perhaps if the
ministry. both Christian and Jewish
were utterly free to preach the truth

to the synagog" movements would not
only be greatly accelerated hut would

sary.

proud possessor of a department of

volvers and were taking occasional
shots at crowd of officers, men and

Schwartz swung down from his ice
wagon and tried to intercept the
bandits. A bullet from one of their
revolvers slit Schwartz's right ear:
and another hit him in the leg. But

Asked if he favored increasing the

that there were exceptional cases

why it is that so many products that

article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as
like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been benefited, to those who are
in need of it.
