The Denver Jewish news., 1925-09-17

ish Education Association in New
York had successful year in its en-
deayor to bring TO more and NOR,
young people the advantages of edu
cation in Jewish religion and history
and similar work was begun on a
city-wide scale in Cleveland. A ma.
tional Training School for Jewish So.
cial Work was also established dur
ing the past year. Yiddish theatres
were prosperous and artistically sue
cessful. There are indications that
the time is not far distant when these
will become English-Jewish theatres.
In the midst Of their attention u
domestic communal problems, sight
was lost for time Of the fact that
the condition of Jews in Eastern
Europe was still unstable and unsat-
isfactory, but the visits to this coun-
try of various delegations brought
about revival Of interest in over
seas problems, leading to the pro
posal for the launching of n drive
for sl5, 100000 for sort of overseas
chest, for the benefit especially Of the
the Jews of Russia.
Foreign Countries
We come now to consider the most
significant events affecting Jews in
foreign countries. We may dismiss
very briefly the two American con-
tinents and the more enlightened
countries of Western Europe. In
Canada, communally speaking, the
most noteworthy event was the open
ing of the country to 5000 Jewish
refugees, upon the guarantee of jew
ish organizations that they would not
become public charges. This action
was partly financed by the Emergen-
cy Committee for Jewish Refugees in
the United States. This Committee
also took over the problems of the
five or six thousand Jews who were
induced by unscrupulous steamship
agents to go to Cuba, on the false
promise that their entry into the
United States would be thus facili-
tated. The Committee also sent ex-
perts to investigate Jewish colonial
ton possibilities in Mexico, President
Gales of that country has extended
a most cordial invitation to Jews to
avail themselves Of its rich agricul-
tural opportunities. The report of
these experts has not yet been pub
lished. As for South America, the
only item of interest is a sad one
the appearance in Brazil of Portu-
guese edition of "The Jewish Peril, y
that fiendish English pasquil in which
the notorious forgery THE Protocols
of the Wise Elders of Zion" was first
exploited outside of Russia.
In England, due to the anti-Jewish
propaganda of 1902 and to the
widespread unemployment, an anti
alien psychology, analogous to that
of the United States, prevails to such
an extent, that Jewish organizations
felt called upon to send delegation
to the Home Secretary in order to
endeavor to prove to him the base
lessness of this sentiment. But this
action was futile. The campaign of
some extremists among the support
ers of humane societies against
Shehitah, the Jewish method of
animals was not re-
sumed, and two non-Jewish experts
after an exhaustive inquiry declared
the method unexceptionable.
France loomed up, during the past
year, as a possible country OF immi-
grafton for Jews who desire to en-

law did not find favor with Jews be
