The Story of a Retired Clothing
Merchant Who Became Patriotic

MIR. JACOB CASH, a retired cloth
lh ing dealer and for IL years a city
marshall, organized himself as the
United States Patriotic Society in
1925. On the walls of the banquet
room at the Hotel Commodore where
the organization was brought into
being were charts purporting to show
the growth of radicaIsm in the
United States. Mr.. Cash dedicated
his society" chiefly to the business
of fighting this radicalism by means
of educating workers" in the United
States constitution. A number of
prominent democratic politicians and
well-known Jewish rabbi (Silver-
MANI, spoke at the initial meeting.
Founder CASH, as he was referred
to, beamed upon the lawyers and
business men present and assured
them that he would fight radicalism
in all it's forms. But most Of them
refrained from joining his society.
At the same time Mr.. Cash dis
tributed copies of his monthly paper,
"The Patriot" (all back copies of
which may be obtained from his Of
flee at 299 Broadway.
MIR. CASH is keen for keeping all
IVA foreign radicals out of this coun-
try and has advocated constitution
intelligence tests" to be given all i'm
migrants before they take ship for
America. In case they get in with
out trouble Mr.. Cash would make
sure they were kosher by giving them
further doses of the constitution in
their own language. He considers
the constitution solution for all our
industrial ills. When the Passaic
strike broke out Cash rushed copies
Of the constitution and his own life
story-"What America Means To
Me"-to the picket lines in the hope
that the workers, on reading of
Cash's success in America, would
hurry back to work. The attempt
to propaganda the workers with
the constitution apparently was of no
avail, especially as they saw the Bill
of Rights-the first ten amendments
to the constitution-violated every
day by the local police. Later Mr..
Cash offered Jack Bryan, a spy for
the Botany Mills, a regular job trav-
cling about the country distributing
copies of his book among the work
ers. Bryan refused, even though
Cash promised to make him a city
marshall if he would work for him.
Mr.. Cash declares that his present
activities for "Americanism" cost
him $4,000 a year. The organiza-
ton is, of course, a one man affair
and simply Jacobs hobby. In 1926
it reported So contributors, paying
dues of from $500 up. Mr.. Cash
covers all necessary expenses, as the
income from contributors is appar-
emily negligible.
Said Mr.. Cash in December, 1926,
when he was offering free speakers
on observation-disclosures address clubs,
conventions and private gatherings:
Patriotism is needed as much in
times of peace as of war. Our coun-
try is facing crisis, gradually COM
ing to head. She needs her children
to help. We must form a bulwark
not only to withstand the combined
onslaught of hatred, jealousy and
greed but to promulgate the doctrine
of good citizenship, honesty and
harmony within our border"
Mr.. Cash is Spanish War veteran
and says he was close friend of the
late T. R. whose influence on Mayor
Mitchell made Cash a city marshall.

THERE is NO PEACE

There is no peace; who talks of peace
In this mad hour is fool or knave.
Give over; let the babbling cease!
King Gold is tottering to his grave.
Now is no time for sophistries;
Choose whom you fight for in the fray
1t is not peacefully he dies:
1t is not peacefully we slay.

YES, the workers seek in art not
only entertainment, but also in
struction, the solution of social, econ
omic and other quee+ions.
At the end of the ming the work
ers gave their judgn. mt:
"The writer's should give us a pic
ture of how we live, work, act toward
our wives and children, how we drink,
what we have achieved-as wide a
picture as they give of the peasantry."
IN Leningrad the critical evenings
are best organized, but also in
Moscow, Charkov, ETC. the workers
put forward their demands as read
ers:
write intelligibly; you are not
writing Russian but some kind Of
jargon."
Write about workers and not al
ways about peasants"
"Your sentences are too short. One
has hardly begun to get the drift of
the sentence when it is over and one
hasn't quite grasped it,"
eve need thick books. If you de-
scribe a man, describe him from start
to finish. We can't get along with
these thin little volumes. You have
hardly started the book, and it's al
ready done. We prefer to read the
old books"
At last there exists for the writer
a wide reading public, public of
his own class, public, without which
healthy creation and life is impos-
sible.

that the Columbia would make a
round triu, and | am determined to
make it. =
Explaining his unexpected depart
ure from lie Bourget Field ycster-
day. Levine said
"While in France every possible
obstacle was put in the way of the
proposed flight. Whether it was be
! cause the French resented our GO
! ing to Germany first, do not know,
but everything I did in France was
subject to constant criticism, in the
newspapers and elsewhere. Frequent
! l. was nisrcpresented.
"Finally, could see no other
way out except to bring the airplane
to England and start from here.
Weather permitting, Levine said
he and Hinchcliffe will start soon
+ to New York from Cranwell flying
field.
Cranwoll was chosen for the start
because it would provide more room
Tor the Columbia to take off.
"My attorney in Paris,' Levine
said, "has paid Maurice Drouhin
100000 francs and therefore that
affair is liquidated, .
Drouhin was the French pilot en-.
gagged by Levine to pilot the Col
umbia. Constant controversy be
tween them caused break in them
