CONTINUED from last week.

Leasing ROsenwald's problem is
not objective but subjective, not
social but personal, not political
but psychological. His aggression
against fellow Jews is scientific
ally explained in the symposium,
"FrustratiOn and Aggression" by
John DOlIard and other professors
at the Yale Institute of Human
Relations. These Yale psycOlO-
gists showed that a frustrated
person becomes aggressive. They
apply the principle to the study
of criminals and dictators, who
seek a perverted expression of
their ego. We Jews also apply
the principle in studying the
causes of anti-Semitism, as in
frustrated Germany and among
the frustrated unemployed of all
countries during a depression.
Finally, there is Jewish self
hatred" which causes frustrated
Jews, like any other anti-Semites,
to attack their fellow Jews as the
cause of their Illustration.
What is Leasing Rosenwald's
secret Illustration that he is so
aggressive against his fellow
Jews? Let him quietly undertake
self-analysis or else consult SYM
pathetic and competent friends.
He may yet realize his error and
turn his funds and his altruistic
impulses to constructive use, as
did his parents and as his brother
and sisters are now so nobly do
ing. Certainly he will be welcom-
ed heartily as a co-worker in
high enterprise.
Is he maintaining the ROsenwald
tradition of generosity, not merely
of money but of spirit? For JUL
Jus ROsenwald was Beloved by all
who knew him. He did justly,
loved mercy and walked humbly
with God. Leasing ROsenWald has
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-12-12
The American Council for Judaism Denounced

looking helplessly to an unsympa-
thetic government. On the other
hand. in Palestine there are 625,
900 Jews, living happy, creative
and significant lives.
In Argentina, the Jews, as
everywhere else, are as they should
be the bearers of the local culture.
In Palestine, alone, they have re-
created the ancient Hebraic ira
ditiOn. Agriculture and industry,
science and art, poetry and music
are being revived in Palestine for
the first time since the destruction
of the Second Commonwealth.
The American Council advocates
immigration to places other than
Palestine. But Europe, the grave
yard of their relatives, is not a
place to settle refugees. Besides,
legal immigration barriers and ris-
ing anti-Semitism throughout the
world make general redispersion
impracticable.
The American Council misses
the essential point when it advO-
Gates such a redispersiOn. Since
the year 10, the Jews have tarried
successfully in Babylon, Alex
andrian Egypt, North Africa,
France; then Spain, Germany and
Poland. Every one of these CEN
tiers collapsed. Palestine provided
a refuge for Jews fleeing from
Spain in 1892, from Russia in 1881
and from Germany in 1888. Who
knows from what countries Jews
will have to flee into Palestine in
the year 1000? The only remedy
that has not been tried since the
year 70 is the resettIement of Pal
estine.
The American Council advocates
a state in Palestine for "Moham-
medans, Christians and Jews"
meaning really Arabs and Jews.
This wording is an obvious Sc
mantle trick by the Councils willy
publicity agent. The pretense is
one of liberalism and democracy.
But the effect is to create for the
Jews a new ghetto in Asia.
Besides, the wave of riots in

an important decision to make
now. His place in Jewish history,
whether as destroyer or builder,
will be determined by what he
himself will do, not by what any
body else will say. His own acts,
not anOther's appraisal, will fix
his place, as hero or villain, in the
annals of the Jewish people.
Let us turn to the underlying
theory of the American Council
and examine it in the light of con-
temporary affairs. Historic social
forces are swirling about the Jew
ish people today. The papers
bring the news of pogroms and
murders of Jews in Poland. The
tiny remnants left, are being pur-
sued by terrorist gangs, by the
secret Polish organizations, AK.
and N.S.Z., whose publicly avowed
slogan is death to the Jews"
The number of Jews killed is
officially stated at six million.
This can only be measured in
terms of the total population of
some of the countries of Europe
Sweden, 6,4OO,OOO; Ireland or
Switzerland, 100000; Finland or
Denmark, 100000, and Norway,
100000. Imagine, if you can,
the destruction of the total pOpu-
latiOn of any of these countries.
How mankind would be shocked!
What international efforts to
atone and compensate! The Jews
lost relatively more than any other
people in the world. And even
absolutely the number of Jews
killed in this war was exceeded
only by the losses of Russia, with
a population of 16O, 100000, and
of China, with 4OO,OOO,OOO.
Superimposed is equally disturb
ing news from Argentina. A Sc
ries of dispatches told of the burn
ing and looting of Jewish syna-
gogues, stores and homes while
the police stood idly by. Those
Jews who protested were arrested
and sent to Jail. Refugees, who
had fled from Europe seeking
asylum in Argentina, are on the
march again looking for new
refuge.
The Jewish settlement in Argen-
tina stands as a foil against Pal
estine. In 1891, after a series of
pOgrOms in Czarist Russia and
Eastern Europe, Baron Maurice
de HirSch tried to relieve the sit
uatiOn by establishing colonies for
Jewish farmers in the Argentine.
His gifts tOtaled many millions.
Now, fifty years later, anti-Semi-
tism arises in Argentina in which
unlike in Poland, population is
scant and competition for economic
survival is not too keen.
History has set the Argentine
settlement as a contrast against
the Palestine colonization. Today
100000 Jews in Argentina are

been driven back across the Great
Wall, and Mongolia became a pro-
vince Of China.
The Ming dynasty gave China
300 years of prosperity and ad-
vancement. Beautiful porcelain,
the envy of Europe, was made.
Picking was built-that is, many
Of the handsome temples and pal
aces that make the city even to-
day an architectural wonder, were
erected by the Ming emperors.
Meanwhile, the Manchus, de-
scendants of old Tartar enemies
Of China, had settled in Manchuria
and made increasingly successful
attacks on the empire. In 1914, the
Ming dynasty was succeeded by
a Manchu line of rulers. Manchu
became the official language Of
the court. The Chinese men we're
ordered to wear their hair in a
queue, or pigtail, as a sign of SUBJ
lection to the Manchus. Later the
pigtail was willingly worn in token
of loyalty to the Manchu line.
This dynasty lasted until 1912,
when it was swept aside by revo-
luton, and China became a repub-
lie.

of Sl.7O to S2.70 a bale in moderate

market gave evidence of being
oversold in recent sessions.
Buying by New Orleans and com

Covering in nearby October fu-
lures against sales of cotton to
the CCC destined for Japan, and
reports that China had auocated
$40, 600, 900 for additional purchases
of American cotton, accounted for
some strength in the market.
