shocks, despite their lack of the
usual requirements for national
survival.
The century which has ju S t
elapsed opened with the echo of
the Damascus Case, an anti-Sem-
itic incident which had interna-
tiOnal repercussiOns, and which set
the stage for other incidents of
which it was the fOre-runner. In
1858 there was the equally famous
MOrtara Case, in which the CEN
trail figure was a Jewish lad kid
mapped from his home and reared
in a monastery. A mere few
months ago, the central figure in
the case, raised as priest, passed
away.
There were other cases, and 9TH
er trials which figured in the Jew
ish history of the century. The
name of Mendel Beiliss comes to
mind; the records indicate that
there were more than half a doz-
en- prosecutions on the trumped
up charge of ritual murder, not
to mention the hundreds of in
stances in which the accusation
was used as a pretext for murder
and pillage.
The Dreyfus Case, involving the
unfortunate French army officer,
the SchWartZbard Case, in which
the defendant, slayer of the pO-
grOm leader, Petlura, became the
martyr, and more recently the
Frankfurter and Grynszpan cases,
will be recalled. Truly the Damas-
Gus incident of 1910 was prede-
cessOr of long chain of occur
rences of like nature during the
Inflated fifty-seventh century.

Looking Back 100 Years : !

those years were enLlreIy pldCh'
There were intermittent, and at
times prolonged periods OF free
dom, of good will, of national pro-
gress accompanying world enlight-
eminent. It was during this CEN
tury that most of the nations OF
Europe cast off the final shackles
imposed on minority groups and
granted full and complete civil
rights to their Jews. Such free
dom was given Jews by the Ger
man states in the 1860's, by Italy
in 1870, and England removed the
last distinction in 1858. Jews at
last became full-fledged citizens
of the countries in which they
dwelled, and the final ties with
the ghettoes and the middle ages
were severed-or so they thought.
Spiritual revolution accompanied
the physical emancipation, and the
desire to conform with their
neighbors led many Jews to en-
bark upon aSSlmllatlOn.
The refuge flights of today find
their cOunterparts in two mass
movements during the 500 era.
The year 1848 was year of rev.
OlutiOn throughout Europe, and
the failure of the masses to eS-
tablish liberal governments, es-
pecially in Germany, led many of
them to seek homes where the
spirit as well as the body could
be free. Thousands of German
Jews, at the opening of the CEN
fury, made their ways to Ameri-
ca, and while the immigration new
er reached mass proportions it
was highly significant in its eff
feet upon the development of the
Jewish community in the United
States.
Thirty years later there was an
other wave of immigration, this
time of tidal proportions, as the
Russian May Laws and pogroms
of 1881 and 1882, and the years
that followed sent countless thou
sands to these shores. Many times
more Jews came from eastern
Europe to America than followed
Moses out of Egypt; many more
made the trek than were eXiled
from Palestine by the Romans;
many more than were banished
from Spain in 1892. The migra-
ton was one of the great mass
movements Of all time, and in one
brief generation, less than half
the century which now slips away,
millions of Jews have made the
adjustment to new environment.
1t need hardly be pointed out
that the closing hours of the CEN
fury witness another migratory
movement of great importance in
Jewish history.

CONSUMPTION

There were wars, many wars,
during those hundred years. Ar
mics marched b ack and forth
across Europe, and everywhere the
Jews were the first victims, con-
venient and defenseless before the
conquering hordes. The wars of
France, Austria, Prussia, Turkey,
Russia, found the Jews, as ever,
the supreme sufferers. Almost
half the Jews of the world, under
the benighted rule of the Car.
found themselves subject to a mil
ltary CONSUMPTION far transcend
ing anything in effect these DAYS.
Boys between the ages of twelve
and twenty-five, if not younger,
were called, and service was for
70 years. Jews fought and fell in
Crimea, in the wastes of Man
churia, and elsewhere, as slaves
in the Russian army. Jewish lit
erature has immortalized the
"Snatchers," official kidnappers of
the Russian army.
Two developments during this
period shed their glow over the
entire century and constitute his
tOrical alienation of the endless
succession of persecution and mis-
cry. One was the growth of the
American Jewish community and
its assumption of leadership in
world Jewish responsibilities: the
other was the creation of the
Zionist organization and the he
ginning of the restoration of the
Jewish Homeland in Palestine
While one quarter of world lew
ry was passing under Commun-
list domination, and another omar

guarding American democracy.
NATIONAL REBIRTH
The Zionist renaissance is q
unique development, and the fact
that it occurred during the CEN
fury under review is sufficient,
were everything else to be disre-
garded, to make the hundred year
period one of the most Outstand-
ing in Jewish history.
In Palestine, in this century,
Jews have served notice upon the
world that come what may, they
have determined to continue their
existence as a people, and are
possessed of the will and the cour-
age to execute that determination.
It is still too early to predict what
may come from the social expert
mentation in Palestine, but it is
very likely that history will re-
cord the century not only as the
one in which Jewish survival was
again confirmed, but also as one
in which new social forms, first
given expression by the Hebrew
prophets, were pioneered by their
ancestors centuries later.
At the outset it was stated that
the fifty-seventh century was ty-

The fifty-eighth century of Jew
iSh existence opens none too aus
piciOusly in the midst of a devas-
tating war which threatens more
than half of world Jewry, not to
mention the very civilization upon
which all sixteen million Jews de-
pend for security.
Fifty-seven centuries is long
time. During these times the Jews
have survived many prosecutors,
have out-lived many detractors,
have gone through untold final
attacks, only to emerge again with
renewed strength. The one hun
dred years just elapsed, the fifty
seventh century of Jewish life,
were typical of Jewish survival
despite hindrance and deliberate
onslaught. During the past CEN
fury, from the Jewish year 5000
to date, the Jews have liv d
through eight major wars; on one
occasion, and with one stroke, lost
one quarter of their population,
to be followed a few years later
by the loss of another quarter;
have undergone two extensive mi
gratory movements, and have
lived through the diSlOcationS and

German Charges
Are Challenged

LONDON - British official
sources Saturday challenged
point-by-point-the charge Of Nazi
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop that the Allied powers
and the Norwegian government
plotted to attack Germany from
the Scandinavian front
Ribbentrop's remark that the
British version was "all lies" was
used by the British in a statement
designed TO show that Germany
was the aggressor against Nor
way. The British said the Nazi
foreign minister is now only at
tempting to cover up that aggres-
sion by untruthful and distorted
statements.
II Is true, the British said, that
the Allies want neutrals to resist
Maxi aggression, but a lie 10 say
that Britain seeks to dismember
Germany or spread the war. And
II was described as interesting"
here that Ribbentrop made no ef-
fort to justify the German inva-
sion Of Denmark.

Tax Decision Blow
To Finances Al
ready Weakened
BY ARTHUR I. SCHoENI

Bf ARTHUR l. StHoE>I
OLYMPIA - The state treasury
faced new financial troubles today,
as result Of state supreme court
decision ruling unconstitutional the
1899 fuel oil tax. which was ex.
pected to bring in $500. 900 IN
revenue this biennium.
License Director Dave s. Conn
announced Immediately following
the courts decision last night that
the state would levy the 1887 .uel
oil tax in place OF the invalidated
law. He. estimated the old law
would bring in about two million.
making the actual revenue loss this
biennium about $1,000, 900.
The 1899 law was ruled un-
constitutional because IL ex-
empted from the tau two spo-
kane refineries, the seattle

commerce.
Such exemptions, the court
ruled In n seven-to-one decis-

stitutions by granting special

cinal oils and gasoline and wax.

The supreme courts action
against the 1889 law was taken In
deciding three companion suits IN

sought to collect the tax from the
two refineries. In the other two
Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. and
Great Northern Railroad sought TO
escape the tax.
On the subject Of the fuel oil
tax the state was trying to levy on
the latter two companies. the SUI
preme court said they were only

and hence not liable under the law
as distributors.

WAR AND DEBATE

Germany charged today that the
allies had prepared to take over
Norway well before the German
invasion. and had plotted to drag
other European neutrals into the
war
As allied and Norwegian forces
fought against the German invad-
ers, the war threatened to spread
into southeastern Europe.
The German charges coin
cided with a statement In
Rome by Dino Grand, presi-
dent Of the Italian parliament,
that Italy cannot stand out
side this conflict"
Grand, one of the most power.
full men in Premier Benito Musso-
lini's government, assured II Duce
in a speech that the Italian people
stand behind him in whatever de-
cision he may make.
The speech was not necessarily
q declaration Of military inten-
tons. Nevertheless, it pointed up
the previous Italian assertions that
Italy so far is not neutral, but
merely acknowledgement.
Statement Official
At the same time, Germany as
serted a state of war existed be-
tween the reich and Norway, ana
charged the allies had brought il
on by carefully-prepared plan to
invade Scandinavia and to embroil
other neutrals.

men, in an official statement by
