Pessimism Marks Interview
With Bialik, Hebrew Poet,
On Jews OF This Country
"Zionsm Not Ripe EnoughRabbis Not LeadersAre State
ments of Bialik He Leaves America.

New York.-Louis Lipsky, presi-
dent of the Zionist Organization of
America, and Chairman Nachman
Bialik, Hebrew poet, sailed on the
steamer Aquitania for Europe. Mr..
Lipsky will attend the meeting of the
Zionist Actions Committee which will
take place in London July %.
Mr.. Bialik, who left the United
States following stay of five months,
during which he was active in behalf
of the United Palestine Appeal, in a
press interview summarized his i'm
pressions of America and American
Jewry.
Stresses Americas Youth
Emphasizing the youth of the
American nation, its power and
wealth, resulting in rapid tempo of
work and life and in the development
of an extraordinary technique and or
ganization power, Mr.. Bialik stated
with the Jewish community of Amer
lea, the situation is entirely different.
The Jews, whether they want it or
not, have behind them the heritage
of past and a culture. 1t is impos-
sible to throw of this past entirely.
One must, if one does net want to
go under, preserve much of this past.
One must also care and care greatly
for the future. For the Jews, even in
America, the future is far from Sc
cure. The carefree mien of Jews in
America and the supposedly sclf-satis-
! fed noise makes the undesirable i'm
preston Of poor recital of some one
else's song.

not yet ripe enough for the great role
which has fallen upon them in the
Zionist movement. Their conception
is still too small. They still consider

.HAKOAH PLAYERS
SCORED IN Vienna
Athletes Criticised For Abandoning
Famous All-Jewish Soccer Team

Vienna-(J. T. A.)-The announce
ment that a few of the Hakoah soccer
players have Joined American teams
has called forth dissatisfaction in
Viennese Jewish circles which took
great pride in the successful tour of
the Hakoah in the United States.
1t now appears that on the day be-
fore the departure of the team from
the United States a number of the
Hakoah players entered into an en-
gagement with the Brooklyn Wander
ers and the New York Giants. These
engagements were concluded without
the knowledge or consent of the Club
and its president, DR.. /. H. Koerner
and when the first news reached
Vienna, DIR. Koerner categorically de-
ned its truth as he could not believe
that any of the Hakoah players would
join another team without informing
his own club, an act contrary to all
rules of sportsmanship.
Doubt is expressed here that, under
these circumstances, the Hakoah will
be in a position to return to the
United States as was originally plan
ned. Regret was expressed here that
the all-Jewish team should have been
weakened by the action of some of the
players and that the prestige built up
by years Of arduous work on the part
of the Club and DR.. Korner who
founded and directed the Club should
have been jeopardized. 1t was stated
that DR.. Koerner whose devoted work
was responsible for the success of the
club, is greatly affected by this action
The belief was expressed here that
the American Jewish public will hard

their giving for Zionism as a sort Of
charity. That is the reason for the
small scale by which they measure the
reconstruction of Palestine.
Is Hard Task
However, the task of bringing 10
American Zionists the proper concep-
ton of Zionism is not an easy one.
With $4,000 annually, one can per-
haps build an Isaac Elchanan Semin-
ary, but not Palestine. / believe that
American Jewry is now ripper than
ever before to conceive the proper
meaning of Zionism and well organ
lied educational work will have sue
cess. The Jews of America would do
well to learn from the American people
its spirit of initiative, large scope
and organization, and then the recon-
struction Of Palestine would be real
ized much sooner than anyone might
think" Mr.. Bialik declared.
Mr.. Bialik expressed dissatisfac-
ton with the communal leadership OF
American Jewry. "To my regret the
leaders of American Jewry, of both
the right and left wings, are not on
the proper level. l find fair play
among the "Yahudim," although I
must say that their idealogy is ex-
tremely dangerous for the existence
of Jewry. The same can be said Of the
Orthodox rabbis.. Certainly there are
many high minded personalities
among the Orthodox rabbis, but they
have no say in the communities. They
are mainly modest men who remain
in the background. On the surface
there appear 'rabbis' of a certain
American type who have transformed
their rabbinical chair into business.
It often comes even to proclamation

Dawn Of New Era SEEN BY Institution

Maurice H. Spiegelman is the
concrete evidence of a new spirit
of the Ex-Patients' tuberculosis
Home, he is the protagonist Of
the new ideals of the governing
body of the home," DR.. Raphael
Bendove, superintendent of the
home said at a banquet given in
honor of Mr.. Spiegelman at the
home last Thursday night.
Mr.. Spiegelman was elected men,
Der Of the board about six months
ago. In that short time he has done
SO much to further the cause of the
home, that the banquet was given in
his honor. More immediate, the din
ner was given in his honor because of
his return from a trip to the east,
ostensibly for a vacation, but from
which he returned with several thou
sand dollars in pledges that he has
secured for the home, and much more
promised.
At the banquet, Mr.. Spiegelman
said that he was so impressed with
the work of the institution that he
would henceforth divorce his active
work from all other affairs to devote
his time solely to the Ex-Patients Tu-
berculosis Home.
The full board of twenty-one MEM
bers attended the affair, all of whom
lauded the efforts of Mr.. Spiegelman.
DR.. Bendove was POSTMASTER. A rich
dinner was served, for which Mrs.
Sarah Mandell, cook of the institution
was recalled from her vacation to
prepare. Mr.. Spiegelman was pre-
sented with a handsome floor lamp by
the other members of the board, for
his successful efforts in behalf of the

SCHECHITA Ban BILL
PASSED IN BAVARIA
Jewish Method of Slaughtering
Prohibited; Hope for Berlin
Veto

Berlin-(J. T. A)-The Bavarian
parliament has passed the bill which
was introduced some time ago pro-
hibiting the shechita, the Jewish
method of slaughtering animals.
The socialists Joined with the reac-
tionaries and the anti-Semites in the
vote on this bill. while the communists
voted against it,
The only possibility of preventing
this measure from becoming law is
a veto on the part of the Berlin gov
ernment. The Jews are hoping that
such action will be taken by the Cen
tral Government when the matter will
be brought before 1t.
s. p. c. A. Behind Bill
The action of the Bavarian parlia-
ment is a result of movement con-
Quoted over n long period by the Ba-
varian antiSemites and the Munich
society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. This society sent memoran-
dun TO the parliament on April Z, 1926,
which. after quoting authorities tending
TO show that Schcchita is cruelty to ami
mails, said that only one out of every
hundred of the population on German
soil belongs to the Jewish faith, and a
large part of the Jews themselves do
not observe the Jewish dietary laws.
| 1t is therefore wrong, the memorandum
stated, to take into consideration the
religious scruples of less than hun
dredth part of the population and to
ignore the feelings of humanity of the
other ninety nine.
Another reason against Shechita was
| that much of the food which the Jews
reject ms unfit for their consumption Is
given to the non-Jewish population. Be-
sides. the hindquarters and many parts
of the animal are declared to be
'treifah" but good enough for the nom
Jewish population, and If they did not
eat 1t the business of slaughtering
would not pay.
| The memorandum also quoted pas
sages from the Old Testament and from
the Talmud against the infiiction of
pain on animals, and concluded by ask
ing the diet to enforce law which will
make it Illegal for animals to be
slaughtered without first being stunned

tered upon new era, an era of team
work and cooperation. efforts that are
fast making the place an institution
with the best in medical attention and
equipment, with real home atmos-
phere. In Mr.. Spiegelman, they said
they had found the composite ideal of
the board of members as whole. and
that henceforth the institution would
be greater and better Ex-Patients'

tened Sharkey at any time he wanted
to. Possessing a weight advantage OF
40 pounds, and an advantage in
height and reach, besides being the
better and more experienced boxer,
Wills should have been an easy win
ner. Instead he just paved around,
overlooked easy openings, and let
Sharkey take the offensive. The bout
was stopped in the 18th round, and
the decision handed to Sharkey be-
cause of a foul blow by Wills.
The only explanation for the out
come of this fight, is that it was more
profitable for Wills to lose than to
win. Tunney had declared, immediate
ly after winning the championship,
that he would not give Wills fight.
Besides this, six years Of futile at
tempts to get a crack at the crown
when Dempsey was wearing it, land
which he would probably have won
had just convinced him that he was
out Of luck insofar as champion
ship fight was concerned. According
ly, he was willing to "lay down" in

enough. Evidently they were.

SPENDS $25o,ooo FOR COMPANY

What will be the biggest gymnasi-
UNI, boosted by any industrial plant in
the world, is being built at the Haw-
thorne plant of the Western Electric.
Figures given out by the company,

at 5000. Over 100000 spectators
watched the various games and con-
tests-most of them being employees
of the company.
Company sports, like its more fam
GUS relative, company unions, has
been developed by the bosses to keep
the workers from taking up the strug-
gle for better pay and conditions and
shorter working hours. This form of
boss control is primarily aimed at
keeping the young workers, passive
and satisfied. Company sports has
been developed on national scale,
and is increasingly making its appear

SCANDAL RUMoRS FLOAT ROUND
WORLDS SERIES.

Colyer's, an outlaw sports journal,
has come out with sensational story
purporting to give the inside dope on
an alleged fixing of the worlds SERIES
It points out that betting on the series
was extraordinarily heavy-and in
many places very one-sided-and that
some known gamblers who are re-
puted to be on the inside made some
tremendous killings" The writer is
not naturally a gullible person, but he
is inclined to give credence to the
rumors. Ever since the BLACK
Worlds Series" of 1919, professional
baseball has been regarded as another
fixed sport-and that despite the fact
that Judge Lands is paid $4,000 per
year to keep it clean.
