ferson also knew Haym Solomon,
who is known to have helped JEFF
ferson with occasional loans. Just
when the debate over the Bill of
Rights ragged most fiercely, Jeffer-
son returned from Europe to bring
his influence to bear in favor of
adding to the Constitution, through
the first ten amendments, the
fundamental rights which the or
iginal Constitution had omitted.
Apart from Virginia delegates,
the most distinguished Southern
leader at the Convention was
Charles Pinckney of South Caro-
lima. Pinckney, the man who was
alleged to have taken down the
notes of Franklin's mythical anti
Semitic utterances at the Conven-
ton, was the dearest friend &C
Francis Salvador, South Carolina
Jewish patriot. Pinckney and Sal
vador served together in the South
Carolina legislature. They also
fought side by side in many bat
ties of the first year of the Revo-
luton, and it was at Pinckney's
size that Salvador died. Salvador
had also been a comrade in arms
of Hugh Williamson of North Car
DINA, the latter owing his life to
an heroic 28-mile ride by Saliva
dor, who raced to warn him that
the British fleet was nearing
Charleston. Salvador also shared
with Williamson command during
an expedition against the Indians.
John Rutledge, another delegate
from South Carolina, thought so
we'll of Salvador that he appointed
him to the commission to pre-
pare the provincial Congress of
1775.
Mordecai Sheftall, one of the
most celebrated Georgia patriots,
was close friend Of William Few
and Abraham Baldwin, delegates
from Georgia. He had served
with both in the Revolution.
In short, there were 13 of the
SO delegates to the Constitutions.

that he thinks it ought to be ex-

tional Convention; Edmund Ran
dolph, a Virginia colleague of
Madison's, later Acknowledgement
and Secretary of State; James
Wilson and Thomas Mifflin of
Pennsylvania, and Robert Morris,
''financier of the Revolution" all
had good cause to be thankful to
the Jewish broker of Philadelphia.
Like Madison, Wilson and Ran
dolph, who played decisive roles at
the Convention, were for some
time regular recipients of SUBJ
stantial aid from Solomon, while
Morris desperate efforts to find
funds to pay for the Revolution
would have come to naught with
cut Salomon's generous assistance.
Wilson, later governor of Pennsyl-
yania, was also a close friend of
Michael and Bernard Gratz, with
whom he had been in partnership
in land deals after the Revolution,
and an associate Of Aaron Lopez
who lost a fortune in privateering.
Thomas Jefferson, author Of the
Declaration Of Independence, was
in France as United States Am
hassador while the Constitution
was being drafted; but he was the
author of the celebrated Virginia
Bill of Religious Rights, which
was passed in 1885. Before ne

than one eminent Jew would have
had no difficulty in mingling on
terms of equality with many of
the best-known delegates. George
Washington, who presided over
the sessions, was of course no
stranger to the Jews. During the
Revolution he had on his personal
staff Manuel Mordecai Noah of
South Carolina and Major Benia-
min Nones, a French volunteer.
He was also familiar with Philip
Moses Russell, a surgeons mate,
who shared the hardships at Val
ley Forge; Isaac Hart, at whose
home Washington stayed in Ger
mantown; Moses Isaacs of Rhode
Island, who was also host to the
first President, and David Sails
bury Franks, whom Washington
cleared of the suspicion of being
involved in Benedict Arnold's trea-
son.
Benjamin Franklin, dean of the
Constitutional Convention, numb

ing the recent attempt by Nazi
propagandists to brand Franklin
an anti-Semite and to attribute to
him mythical attempt to prevail
upon the Constitution to exclude
Jews from the United States, he
was sufficiently friendly with them

synagogue building fund.
Virtually all of the delegates
knew of Haym Solomon, who hao
died two years before the Conven-
ton met. Six of them had long
been dependent on his bounty fol
their own livelihood or for the
maintenance of the particular gov
eminent function for which they
were responsible. James Madison
the greatest mind at the ConVen'
ton, found Salomon's aid a God
send. Impoverished by the failure
of the Virginia legislature to pay
it's delegates to the Continental
Congress, Madison sought out Sal
ONION. Madison's papers record
his indebtedness to the Jewish fl
nancier, who refused both interest
and a note. On one occasion Mad

Tn May, 1887, when So immortal
.,,ooricans met in historic indie
nondence Hall, Philadelphia, to
Sroft the Constitution of the
Tinted States, there were not
more than 5000 Jews in this coun-
+rv Four years later, when the
e;rct ten amendments to the Con-
stit,1tion, the Bill of Rights, were
soc+ened to the framework Of the
constitution, there hardly were
roonv more Jews in the United
States
Although many had distinguish
ed themselves in the Revolution
arv War, no Jew had a part in
the framing of the Constitution.
Nor were there any Jews in Con-
qress $50 years ago when the Bill
n Rights was adopted. But a.
mone the statesmen who fashioned
the Constitution and later played
decisive roles in adding to it the
Bill of Rights were many who had
heen on intimate business, social
and military terms with some of
the foremost Jews of that day.
Probably the best measure of the
role played by American Jews in
the early days of the nation is the
record of their close relations with
the men who wrote the Constitu-
ton and succeeded in broadening
it through the Bill of Rights, the
15Oth anniversary of whose ratifi-
cation we celebrate this year.

British War

London (JPS)-A serious stu
alton for several thousand Ru-
manian and Hungarian Jews now
in England has suddenly been
created by the British declaration
Of war on Hungary, Rumania and
Finland, Nazi partners in the Ger
man attack on Soviet Russia.
These people, who came to
England during the last few years
chiefly because of the anti-Semitic
policies of their governments, are,
undoubtedly, against their native
Governments and for Great Brit
ain and the democracies. Never
theless, they are now, according
to international law, enemy
aliens" and must be informed as
such.
The Jews affected are now ap-
pealing for exemptions from the
law and it is believed that the
British Government will consider
the appeals with favor, for it has
already been found, through ex-
perience with the informed Jewish
refugees from Germany and Aus
tria, of whom 95 per cent were
later released, that these Jews can
do and have done useful work for
the British Government and for
the defense of the country.
