FRENCH SUPPRESS JEW.BAITING

ish leaders are reported to have reject
ed an offer by the French army to ne

attitude to the occupation that the Ger
mans of other faiths hold. NOtwith-
standing the Jewish rejection of the
offer, antisemitic nationalist circles
continue to circulate reports that the
Jews are in collusion with the French.
Certain leaders of the parties of the
Right in the Ruhr district have an
iounced that French forces have caus-
ed the cessation of the anti-Semitic
activities and that as soon as the
French occupation is at an end, the
Jew baiters will have their revenge.
Estimates of 100000 Jewish workmen
in the Ruhr district made by German
papers are grossly exaggerated. The
actual number is probably MT in eN-

rived. Here is the beginning OF an
independent complex of Jewish national
music.
Engel has written n great deal Of
music for Hebrew folk songs. Nemenite
folk songs from Palestine. Bialik's
songs. and the songs of other Hebrew
poets. And he encountered difficulty.
How was he to read the words of the
songs? TN the Sephartic or the Ask
enazic manner? 1t would mean 80 much
difference to the construction of his
melody.
Engel told us that Binlik. too. had
said that for this reason 1t was diff
cult to write any more folk songs: the
question whether to adopt the Ash
henazic or the Seplinrdic manner was
very grave eObstacle.
Engel and the rest Of the Jewish
composers In Russia decided TO adopt
the Sephardic manner and 1t h in ac-
cortlance with that manner that all
their music has been written.
After Engels name come the names
uf Jewish composers. old and new. who
have created for MS II great musical
literature. Alexander Krein who has
written u great deal of music to Bin
lik's words and was the first to write
Jewish sonata. 1t must he realized
what daring step this was. Our Jew.
ish musicians often doubt their own
powers They remind themselves fire.
lquently how recently 1t wns that they
saarted. How long is 1t since they We're
at the elementary stages. and how
quickly ti,ey are now striking forward.
Alexander Krein dared to write the
first Jewish sonata. In addition to
that he has written n musical poem.
Solomayo. md n new Katldish. and a
whole series OF other works.
Then there is the second Krein-
Gregory Krein. who writes songs with
ont words. There is Achron, with his
old motives turned into n new works.
Achron's "Koldunie" (The Witch) has
very little in common with the old
time "Koldunie." but it has grown out
of It, Then Saminski has given us
his Tales for the PianOfOrte." Ills
Psalms and his David in the Wild
erness"
And again, Ansky is the man who
influenced Miner to write Jewish
opern for the words of his "AshmOdai."
And finally, there is Genessin. who
has been recently in Palestine and
wrote his Song of the Holy Land.
Genessin stands in the vanguard. may
he at the very head of our music. His
musical dramn Thee Childhood of
Abraham has aroused everywhere i'm
mense attention.
This long list of musicians and their
works could be extended much further.
1t makes ones head dizzy TO reflect
what was our total possession only II
short while back and what il is today.
What did we have? About thirty folk
songs which were already become
hackneyed, the repertoire of every mu-
steal evening we arranged. And to-
day: great storehouse. might col
lection which gives confidence and hope
in the creative powers of our people
