Court Frees Bund
Members

THE SUPREME COURT of the
United States, by FIVE to four
decision, has reversed the convic-
ton of twenty-four chiefs of the
German-American Bund who were
convicted in New York of con-
spring to advise draft evasion.
The Court said that the evidence
upon which convictions were based
was insufficient and freed the men
from sentences of five years.
While opinions may differ as to
the reasoning and wisdom of the
close decision by the Supreme
Court, the case illustrates again
the independence of American
courts which have repeatedly de-
clined to be swayed by popular
sentiment in connection with the
judicial consideration of issues.

Japs Retire; Chinese
Advance

THE CHINESE armies, we read
in the press, are gathering
toward Liuchow, "hammering" al
the gates of Wenchow and clash
ing forward generally.
The process is explained by the
strategic withdrawal of Japanese
forces into north China. Without
disseminating the stubbornness OF
the Chinese in continuing the war
with Japan it is just as well not
to expect too much of Gen. Chang
Kai-shek's forces just now.

monwealth in Palestine has been
consistent and continuous, the
real stimulus has always followed
upon the heels of persecution, so
that now, certainly, following the
Nazi reign of terror, Palestine
must indeed become House of
Refuge. That, too, is tradition,
and it should be made to be as
a holy grail to the conscience Of
humanity throughout the world.
We have been shown the capabil-
tiles of peoples in the conception
of determination centers. The
chief jurist of the Gestapo, Karl
Rudolf Werner, wrote in Zeitch-
rift fuer Polite (1942) History
teaches that humiliation of an
alien people is not contrary to
the laws of life, provided the an
/ inhalation is complete"
Where else but in Zion is the
answer. The story is told of the
fraiI youth who bent under the
weight of a larger boy, made his
way forward with exceeding diff
ficulty. On his way he was halt
ed and questioned. "Is he not
too heavy for so slight child as
you to carry upon your back?''
The youth looked up, his eyes
sparkling. His words came forth
in breathless gasps. Giles not
heavy, sir" he answered. "He's
my brother"

TIMES, TIDES AND TRADITIONS
By Andre BialOlenki
President of the Jacksonville
Zionist District
Especially Written for The
Southern Jewish Monthly

4noSe were DetCer days, when
I was doing graduate work in an
English seminar at the Univers-
ity. DR.. Lyons was head of the
department at the time, and we
were in conference on the Jewish
theme in literature: the treat
ment of Shylock in The Merchant
of Venice; Fagin in Oliver Twist;
Maria Edgeworth's presentation
of Solomon, the rapacious money
lender in Belinda (1801). Tradi-
ton was to treat these Jews as
hook-nosed userers, fawning, vul-
gar and rapaciouS, to whom all
sorts of villany were attributed,
without a virtue to redeem their
repulsive characters. These were
the. Jews with whom our school,
boys became familiar in their Eng
lish classes, and to make reason
ably certain they got the picture,
appropriate questions were asked
on examinations before it was
| stated they had mastered the
course. AS for our Jewish writer's
ON what curriculum are they
represented?
We discussed this, DR.. Lyons
and I, and with shrug of the
shoulders that was not without
compassion, he summed up the
case, "It is in the tradition of
English literature" Tradition, in
deed! This, then is our cultural,
educated world, where indelibly
the seeds Of racial hatred are
sown in the growing soul. 1t re-
mains for the Jewish writer,
Zangwill, the extreme pessimist
to point out that there may be
g way out, but only in Zionism.
If we cannot affect the present
we certainly cannot alter the past
but with willing hands we may
be able to shape the future, since
that is yet to be made. Where
men fight for liberation, they
fight for destiny, and all can not
be lost where the struggle con-
tinues.
Literature is the reflection of
life, and where the ignoble Jew is
literary tradition, persecution is
social tradition. Civilization adj
vances as waves upon the sea, it
is said, in ebb and flow, but an
other such storm as that which
eliminated the Jews from Europe
might very well eliminate them
from the world. It would be a
tragedy for the world, it is true,
but it would be far more of a
tragedy for the Jew. And the
danger is ever-present as long
as the Jew wanders homeless
amid the alien corn. Again, there
NAV be a way out, but only in
Zionism. If Palestine is not the
complete answer to the whole
problem, certainly nothing else is.
To those who protest that Pales-
tine as a homeland is beyond
reach, anything else as a solution
is beyond imagination and with
out logic. Palestine, too, if it be-
comes a matter of that, is also a
matter of tradition-for the Jew
and in our times matter OF the
inalienable right to survival.
Let it be repeated again and
again. we are not seeking to
create something out of an IL
lusory hope. Jewish Palestine
EXISTS as certainly as the Grand
CANYON exists, and they are both
equally inspiring upon the face
If the earth - creations of mag
nitude. and akin to God. 1t the
