The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-11-01

Up to that time, books about
the Jews were either attacks or
defenses which were more notable
for their emotional than for their
factual content. In his 'aThe Jews
of Today" DR.. Arthur Ruppin col
lected mass of statistics and
hard facts, and presented them in
an orderly, objective setting. DR..
Ruppin's work, in fact, was the
foundation-stone of the scientific
study of the sociology of the Jews.
It also served to bring its author
to the fore not only as a scholar
but as leader of his people. The
viewpoint of '"The Jews of To-
day. was Zionist, and a few years
later DR.. Ruppin went to Pales-
tine, where he took charge of Zion
list agricultural settlement. He is
still leading in this work, besides
flung the professorship of Jew
ish sociology at the Hebrew Uni
versity in Jerusalem.
The Jewish scene - need one
say? - has shifted enormously
since 'The Jews of Today" was
published, and DR.. Ruppin has fol-
lowed the changes with works
which have set forth the position
Of the Jews accurately and object
lively. With the succession of ca
tastrOpheS of recent years, and
with events moving as rapidly and
violently as they are, it would
seem almost a superhuman task
to make an orderly summary of
the state of the Jews now.
But that is what DR.. Ruppin has
succeeded in doing in his n ew
book, '"The Jewish Fate and Flu
ture," published by Macmillan's of
London in an English translation
by e. w. Dickes, as one of the
Studies in Modern History Sc
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-11-01

He traces the movement of Jew
ish populations from the beginning
of the Christian era to the pres
ent. He gives detailed picture Of
the economic situation Of Jews
the world over, with its historical
background. He takes in, likewise,
Jewish cultural development, the
story of Jewish emancipation and
the parallel tale of anti-Semitism.
The last section Of the book is de-
voted to Zionism, including an ac-
count Of tn work of the modern
Zionist settlers in Palestine.
The book was completed just at
the outbreak of World War III.
The Introductory and concluding
chapters contain references to the
war, although there was no, time
for DIR. Ruppin to work into his
manuscript the events of the past
year and the effect on Jewry of
the Nazi conquest of all Europe,
and these developments obviously
Outdate his facts to some extent,
but they do not conflict with the
trends he describes, or invalidate
his arguments. Rather, they fur
nish additional evidence to sup
port his main thesis.
For all that DR.. Ruppin makes
no attempt at dramatization or
popularization, the book is easy
and interesting to read. For this,
share of credit should doubtless
go to the translator.
Anyone, Jew or Gentle, who
wants to see the whole picture of
the way the world is going today,
needs a clear view of the role of
the Jews. In ''The Jewish Fate and
Future" this is authOritatively
provided.
AS for the Jewish reader, whe-
Their he agrees with DR.. Ruppin's
Zionist Interpretation or not, if
he is concerned over the survival
of Jewry, the author poses a chal-
lenge that must be answered.:
"The present generation of Jews
has the responsibility of deciding
the fate and future of the Jews
to be or not to be-"
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-11-01

ries edited by Professor Lewis B.
Manner.
4 ''The Jewish Fate and Future"
is a concise, objective account of
the mess the Jews are in, and how
we got there. 1t also undertakes
to point the possible way out of
the mess. To DIR. Ruppin, this is
the Zionist way.
The Jewish fate, as of today,
says DR.. Ruppin, is to be ground
away between the millstones of
anti Semitism and assimilation"
From his 1856 pages, packed with
historical, political, sociological
and statistical data, this theme
energies consistently.
The Jewish future, DIR. Ruppin
implies, must be to disappear from
the world as an entity, unless the
Jews have the will to rescue them
selves from oblivion and give
themselves a new reason for be-
ing, by rallying to the building of
the Jewish homeland in Palestine.
1.-THE Jewish religion alone" he
writes, (which in the past welded
the Jews together and kept them
as a special group, cannot do so
any longer. The Jews can only
hope to endure as group if they
find a new common ideal associa-
ted with their history.
ZiOnism, he says, fills this for
mula.
Although the world Jewish pop
ulation is now the greatest in his
tory, DR.. Ruppin points out that
it shows the erosive effect of the
vicissitudes of twenty centuries.
At the beginning of the Christian
era, he says, the Jews numbered
100000 = one-fifteenth of the
white race. BY the same proper
ton, there would be so million
Jews in the world today. He esti-
mates the actual world Jewish
population at 100000. I'm this,
by the way, DR.. Ruppin has re-
vised his figure considerably up
ward from the one he gave in 1884
in his 1.-THE Jews in the Modern
World 1854 ,OOO.)
The difference of over thirty
million persons represents the loss
to Jewry over 1000 years through
massacre, the higher death rate
in pre-mOdern times in the cities,
where they were concentrated,
than in rural regions, and through
assimilation.
Incidentally, although DR.. Rup-
pin does not pursue the point,
these figures offer an interesting
indication of the great number of
non-Jews there must be with Jew
ish ancestry.
DIR. Ruppin points out, of course,
that it is remarkable that i'm their
dispersion the Jews survived at all
as a distinctive group. The fig
ureS he gives in this connection are

interesting. Jewry reached its low
point, 100000 in the 18th cen
fury, at the time of the InquiSitiOn
and did not rise above that figure
during the next two centuries
when the cities were harried by
plaques and the Jews by persecu-
ton.
AS persecution declined, and liv-
ing conditions in the cities i'm
proved, Jewry began a comeback.
In 1900 there were 100000 Jews
in the world. During the ensuing
century the number more tn a n
quadrupled. Since 1900 the in
crease has been so percent.
These are impressive gains, but,
DIR. Ruppin shows, they resulted
from conditions which have now
passed. The historically high jew
ish birthrate operated with the
sharp reduction of the death rate
due to better sanitation and medi-
cal science to bring about the
huge increase in the 10th century.
But since about 1900, the birth
rate has been falling faster than
the death rate due to the spread
of birth-control, most intensive
among the middle classes and in
the cities, and thus affecting the
Jews more than other groups. AS
a result, quite aside from the re-
suits of the current prosecutions,
TIE natural increase of the Jews
fell from Is per thousand in 1901
1915 to per thousand in 1887,
and is still dropping.
Meanwhile, DIR. Ruppin says, his
tOrical currents which operated to
preserve Jewry's identity have
veered sharply. In this connection
he introduces novel line of rea-
sOning. One of the major factors
which set the Jews off from their
European neighbOrs since the Dis
perSiOn, he says, was the fact that
they had a higher culture, were
more civilized than the peoples
among whom they lived, who were
emerging from barbarism. DIR.
Ruppin says that this was one of
the essential prerequisites for
preservation of Jewry, and that
Jewish populations who lived
among peoples with a culture as
high as their own, tended to ASST
initiate.
Now, says DR.. Ruppin, European
civilization has caught up with
the Jews. The nations of Western
Europe and America, to which the
movement of Jewish population
has been tending for the past CEN
fury, have become the peers of the
Jews. This one factor in itself
would eventually spell "finis" for
Jewry in those lands, according
to his argument.
His statistics on the movement
of Jewish population and the Ian
guages spoken by Jews bring out
strilingly the extent to whic h
Jewry, in the past half century,
has become an English-spealzing
people. This is due primarily to
the immense immigration to the
United States in the late 18th and
early Goth centuries. He shows
that within a fairly short time,
English will probably catch up
with, or even suppIant Yiddish as
the language of the Jews. That in
itself would be an assimilant fac
tor Of great Importance.
1t is impossible to condense into
the framework of a review the
enormous complex of information
which DR.. Ruppin has managed to
compact into his volume. He re-
views the anthropological d a a
which explode the Nazi myth that
the Jews are a separate race"

car until we got on the road. The
problem was which way to 60.
Olaf pointed to the road we had
come from. So we speeded back to-
ward the main highway leading to
the border. We had almost reached
it when I noticed q side road which
evidently led to the German side OF
Kongsvinger and along which the
car and motor cycles had evidently
gone.
Ducks Bullets.
Near this side road stood a Ger
man guard. Olaf saw him, too, and
put his foot down on the accelerator.
We tipped past. I heard the Ger
man shout and I turned and saw
him grab his rifle. I ducked and
the car shot forward as I heard
what might have been a shot. We
did not stop to see, but kept going
at high speed until we reached the
border station.
Here I learned from single Nor
wegian soldier refugee from Kongs-
vinger that the Germans had taken
the town at midday and that after
the fighting the Kongsvinger fort
was occupied by the Nazis. That was
just about the time we were near
there.
The Norwegians had gone north
toward Elverum, with the Germans
pursuing, which explained why he
had not seen any large forces, and
1t was just as well for me. The
Norwegian soldier also said that the
Nazi Gen. Falkenhorst, in charge
Of the Norwegian campaign, had
himself entered Kongsvinger and I
wondered whether that was his car
that had passed us.
Olaf asked me to take q look at
the car and there in the back he
showed me two bullet holes one side
ways through a mudguard: and the
other in the back seat, which had
hattened out there. 1 returned the
car to the owner, but did not men,
tion the bullet holes and got half
Of my dollars back.

Don't Take
My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Sound Your A

Words ending in -ative are found
to be a stumbling block by many
a speaker and lead to frequent and
embarrassing errors.
1t is natural, though erroneous,
to reason: II 1t is correct to say
"ex-EC-utive," then Speculative"
is correct; if FIG is right,
cooperative" likewise is right.
But it is impossible to lay down
any hard and fast rule for pro-
nouncing -ative words. In some,
as speculative, operative, imagi-
native, initiative, cooperative, it is
best usage to sound your "a" and
say "SPEC-u-LAY- tive, OP-er-AY-
tive, im-AJ-i-NAY-tive, in-ISH.i-
AY-tive, co-OP-er-AY-tive," while
in others, as comparative, con-
sentative, demonstrative, super
lative, imperative, there is but one
accent and the "a" becomes OBJ
scure as in sofa: "com-PAR-uh-
tive. con-SER- vuh-tive, demon
struh- tive, SUPER luh-tive, i'm
PER-uh- tive" There is nothing to
guide us but the dictionary. To be
safe, look up each individual -ative
word of your vocabulary. You will
receive more than one surprise.
For a personal answer to your
questions about words, send =
stamped (3-cent), self addressed
envelope to Frank Colby. care

UNCLE RAYS CORNER


ly in mountains Winds, move from
the ocean to the land, and carry
huge loads of moisture. When the
winds come to mountains, they
tend to rise over them. The moist
air rises higher and higher, and Is
cooled. The cooling often makes
the moisture condense and fall in
the form of rain.
Happily, the mountains do not
take all the wetness out Of the
winds. Some of the moist air tray
els past the mountains and reaches
points a Thousand miles or more
from the ocean before it condenses
and brings on the rain.

Nature has given the earth 4
