The American Jewish Year Book 5689 September 15, 1928, to October 5, 1929 Volume 30 Edited by HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN for the AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1928 COPYRIGHT, 1928 BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA Printed at THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY'S PRESS Philadelphia. Penna., U.S.A. PREFACE The leading special feature in this volume is an article by DR. H. S. on the Jewish population of the United States, based upon information gathered by him as director of the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee. DR. LINFIELD'S study shows that there are now in the United States approximately 4,130,000 Jews widely distributed throughout the country in both urban and rural places. There are Jews in all cities of the country having a population of 25,000 or over. But it is interesting to note, that Jews do not live only in the large cities, for they are also to be found in over 80% of the cities of 2,500 to 25,000 population, in over 30% of incorporated villages of less than 2,500 population and in 7% of rural unincorporated areas. In all, there are over 6,000 places throughout the country which have Jewish inhabitants. DR. LINFIELD also made a study of the Jewish congregations in the United States, as Special Agent of the United States Bureau of the Census, in connection with the Census of Religious Bodies undertaken by that Bureau. Unfortunately it was not possible for him to prepare a report on the subject in time for publication in this volume, but a preliminary statement, together with a table by states is given. Although it is not claimed that these statistics are absolutely complete, it is believed they are very nearly so. It was found that there are approximately 3,000 permanent Jewish congregations in the country. Ten years ago, only 1,900 were recorded, and twenty years ago, only 1,700. DR. LINFIELD'S study also indicates that the sum invested in synagogue property must be considerable, for the 1,130 congregations which reported the value of their property, possessed buildings worth over $100,000,000. The same remark may be applied also to the annual expenditures of the congregations. Only 1,235 of the 3,000 responded to the inquiry on this particular point, and these reported an annual expenditure of approximately $16,500,000. Although the religious education of Jewish children is not conducted by congregations only, the information gathered regarding the religious schools maintained by the congregations is nevertheless interesting. Only 1,185 congregations reported on this point, 554 stating that they maintained Sabbath schools, having an enrollment of 69,439 pupils, and 631, that they maintained week-day schools in which 70,429 pupils were enrolled. Another point that deserves being mentioned here is, that the two studies revealed the fact that Jews are slowly but steadily settling in rural territory, and that in 93 rural places Jewish congregations have been established. This volume contains one other special feature, and that is a biographical sketch of the great Jewish thinker, essayist, and leader, ASHER GINZBERG, better known as AHAD HA'AM, who died on January 2, 1927, and a collection of whose essays was published some years ago by the Jewish Publication Society. We are fortunate in being able to present LINFIELD IV PREFACE to our readers a biography of this outstanding figure in Jewish life, from the pen of one who has devoted himself to a study of the man and his works, MR. LEON SIMON, of London, England. Only one change has been made in the recurrent features of the year book,—in place of the article consisting of a survey of the year, which has been a feature of this publication for the past six years, there has been substituted a briefer review of the year, presenting only the most important and outstanding matters of Jewish interest which engaged public attention during the period. To this is appended, partly in abstract and partly in extenso, the report of the Joint Palestine Survey Commission appointed last year by DR. CHAIM WEIZMANN on behalf of the World Zionist Organization, in conjunction with MR. LOUIS MARSHALL, chairman of a non-partisan conference to discuss Palestine affairs which had several meetings in the United States. There are also appended to the review of the year full lists of the most important anniversaries, appointments and honors, special bequests and gifts, and necrology for the period from April 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928. As in former years, I have had, in the preparation of this volume, the valuable assistance of DR. LINFIELD, and I take this occasion to express my gratitude to him for the fine spirit of co-operation which he has shown. DR. ISAAC HUSIK, the editor of the publications of the Society was again helpful in the revision of the manuscripts and proofs, and Miss ROSE A. HERZOG deserves credit for her work in compiling some of the lists and directories. Finally, I wish to express my thanks to DR. CYRUS ADLER, who was the originator of this publication thirty years ago, and its editor for many years, who has wholeheartedly helped and encouraged me during the past ten years. HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN.

The period under review was in a general way a fairly normal one, insofar as Jewish life is concerned. With the exception of those of Hungary, Lithuania and Turkey, and for a time Roumania, the governments in power in the various countries with which the Jewish question in an acute form has been associated, were liberal in character and there was no official oppression or discrimination. Unofficial antiJewish propaganda and outbreaks of a violent nature against Jews also dwindled in number and in intensity during the period, except for the riot in Oradeamare, Roumania, which aroused the notice and the indignation of the civilized world. Freedom from oppression and relief from the necessity of forestalling and combatting unfavorable agitation, left the Jewish communities of all countries, except those mentioned above, free to turn their attention and to apply their energies to communal problems, religious, cultural, and educational interests, and to such international Jewish questions as emigration, economic reconstruction and the restoration of Palestine. I. THE UNITED STATES In the United States there were but few incidents to divert the Jewish community from attention to internal problems. When the period opened the suit for libel brought by Aaron Sapiro, an attorney for a number of cooperative agricultural 23 24 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK produce organizations, against Henry Ford, automobile manufacturer, was being tried in a United States Court in Detroit. This case attracted nation-wide attention and was of considerable interest to the Jews of the United States as well as of other countries because the charges of libel were based upon articles which had appeared in the Dearborn Independent, a weekly magazine published by Ford, in which for some time there had appeared many articles derogatory to Jews. After the trial had lasted for thirteen weeks, the presiding judge granted the application of counsel for Ford for a mistrial, on the ground that a juror had given an interview to a newspaper. Mr. Sapiro thereupon announced the intention to have the case re-tried, and in July a date for the new trial was tentatively set. Shortly thereafter, Louis Marshall, President of the American Jewish Committee, announced that following a series of conferences with and at the request of agents of Mr. Ford, the manufacturer had issued a signed statement repudiating the attacks against the Jews individually and collectively which had appeared in the Dearborn Independent, apologizing for them and offering to make amends. 1 Following the publication of this statement, counsel for Mr. Sapiro announced that his client's vindication had been achieved and the libel suit would not be continued. Shortly thereafter, this suit as well as that of Herman Bernstein, who had also brought an action against Mr. Ford, were settled out of court. Mr. Ford's retraction and apology attracted intense interest and was regarded by the entire press of the United States with great satisfaction. In November, Mr. Ford wrote a letter to Theodor Fritsch, a notorious anti-Jewish agitator of Leipzig, Germany, who had announced that he would continue to publish the Dearborn Independent articles, the publication rights of which in German and other languages he claimed, revoking these rights and demanding that he cease the use of his (Ford's) name in connection with the further publication, sale, or other distribution of the articles. Ford also suspended the publication of the Dearborn Independent at the end of 1927. In the meantime there had occurred in New York City, an extremely unpleasant incident. Three Jewish physicians 'For full text of this statement, see Vol. 29, pp. 383-389. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 25 serving as internes in a public hospital complained that they had been victims of a hazing episode at the hands of a group of non-Jewish internes. Several of the latter were arrested and, later, they publicly apologized to their Jewish associates. The charge of the Jewish internes that religious bias was intense at the hospital, led to a number of investigations, one of which was conducted by the City Commissioner of Accounts, who submitted a report containing data to support his conclusions that the charges of anti-Jewish discrimination at the hospital were well founded. There was during the year the usual number of cases of clubs and the like discriminating against Jews. The action of the Board of Governors of a golf club in Milwaukee in adopting a resolution asking eight of the Jewish charter members to resign, aroused some resentment in that city because it was believed that the step aimed at the reduction of the number of Jews in the club. A rather flagrant instance was that of the Metropolitan Masons Country Club in New York, which changed its name when The Jewish Tribune, supported by a number of leading Masons, protested that a club which discriminates as between members of races or creeds has no right to include the word "mason" in its designation. Much excitement in Jewish circles was aroused also during the year by the production of the motion picture "King of Kings" which purported to be a portrayal of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It was charged by many that parts of the picture, especially those dealing with the crucifixion of Jesus, were inaccurate and so presented as to arouse or intensify anti-Jewish feeling, and demands were made on many sides for the withdrawal of the picture from exhibition. Several Jewish organizations, especially the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, brought these criticisms to the attention of the producers of the picture who declined to withdraw it because of the large investment involved, but agreed to make a number of changes calculated to minimize the harm which it was believed the picture was doing. These changes, however, did not give universal satisfaction and the demand for the complete withdrawal of the picture continued. Owing to the considerable decrease in the number of Jews entering the country, the immigration question which had, 26 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK up to a few years ago, had so much of the attention of American Jews, has shrunk considerably in importance. Jews, however, took part in the movement to secure legislation to hasten the reunion of families of immigrants who had entered the country before the coming into force of the Immigration Law of 1924, a movement which led finally to the passage of the Jenkins Bill which provides that one-half of the quota of visas from each country shall be given to the relatives of aliens already here, and also as many of the1 rest of the quota, reserved for agricultural workers, as shaft not be used by the latter. No other of the many immigration bills introduced, including one for the progressive halving of the present quotas during the next five years, was passed. Bills introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives requiring newspapers published in foreign languages to print translations in English of all or part of their contents, also were never brought to a vote. During the past winter, The Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (Hias) protested to the Surgeon General of the United States against certain types of questions which were being put to intending Jewish immigrants by United States medical officers attached to the American Consulate at Warsaw. These questions, which, it was explained, were employed to test the sanity of applicants for visas, were also attacked on the floor of the House of Representatives. The Surgeon General ordered an investigation on the spot. Late in June last, much discussion was aroused by the announcement of the Department of Labor that every alien admitted on or after July 1, 1928 will be provided with an identification card, which is to be produced whenever proof of legal entry may be required. The Jewish press saw in this device a means of bringing about by indirection the registration of aliens, a measure which has in the past aroused much opposition. That the measure had any such intent was denied by government officials who insisted that the identification cards were being issued for the benefit of admitted aliens. Aside from legislation in the Congress of the United States, the passage of the so-called "Rosh Ha-Shanah Bill" REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 27 by the Massachusetts Legislature is of great interest. This bill provides that foodstuffs may be sold on a Sunday whenever either Rosh Ha-Shanah or Yom Kippur begins on a Monday, the object of the bill being to enable observant Jews to obtain fresh food before the beginning of these holidays. This bill, which was introduced by Isidore H. Fox of Boston, was at first vigorously opposed, but it was finally passed by both Houses of the Legislature by large majorities, and even when it was vetoed by the Governor, passed over his veto by the required two-thirds vote. No serious attempt was made during the year to bring about the passage of legislation providing for the reading of the Bible in public schools or for compulsory Sunday observance. The movement in some European countries for the outlawry of Shehitah, the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food, had a counterpart in New York State where an organization calling itself the Animal Welfare League announced its intention to have a bill introduced in the Legislature with that aim in view. Nothing practical, however, came out of this agitation. During the year, the Court of Appeals of the State of New York handed down a decision that it is legal for boards of education in the State to excuse pupils of the public schools for a short time one day in each week to receive religious instruction outside the school, but the movement in this direction which was somewhat active during the few preceding years did not attain any great headway during 5688. In general, the relations between Jews and non-Jews were very amicable during the period. The movement, begun several years ago, largely upon the initiative of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, continued, and "good will" meetings were held in several cities between rabbis and Christian clergymen. In Philadelphia where a group of ministers of various denominations have organized a Fellowship of Faiths, this tendency was given a setback by the action of the Presbytery which went on record, in March last, as being unalterably opposed to any fellowship that "tends to name Christianity as one of many equally good religions," reaffirming the belief "that Christianity is a revelation, and so is the full and absolute religion," and 28 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK enjoining upon its ministers and elders "the duty of abstaining from any participation in such meetings and movements." On the other hand, the movement for the conversion of Jews was condemned at a meeting of the Home Mission Council of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, held in Cleveland in January, when the Superintendent of Jewish Evangelization of the Presbyterian Church, made a plea for greater activity in the direction of converting Jews. Exception to this was taken by the Rev. Dr. Ernest M. Halliday, General Secretary of the Church Extention Board of the Congregational Church, who declared: "When it comes to going to the Jewish people and trying to get them to give up their faith, the background of our own religion, I would have no faith in such a program. . . . I would say to a young Jew who has left his synagogue: 'Go back to your rabbi and your synagogue, and the God you and I hold in common.' " The events of the past year having to do with Jewish communal life may be roughly divided into two classes, first those touching upon domestic matters, and second those which have played a part in the life of Jewish communities abroad. Probably the most interesting event of domestic concern was the preparation by the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee of an enumeration of the Jewish congregations of the country in connection with the decennial census of religious bodies conducted by the United States Bureau of the Census. A preliminary summary of the results of this enumeration will be found elsewhere in this volume. In connection with this task, the Statistical Department also made a careful and painstaking inquiry into the number of persons of the Jewish faith in the country. The methods employed and the results obtained are discussed in detail in Dr. Linfield's article on the subject. Not only do we know that there are approximately 4,230,000 Jews in the country, but we also know their distribution throughout its various parts and many other interesting facts. Another important effort along statistical lines is the inquiry now being conducted by the Bureau of Jewish Social Research for the Greater New York Survey Committee. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 29 During the year, two reports based on some of the data gathered were published, one dealing with the movement of Jewish population within the City, and the other with the death rate and causes of death among Jews. In connection with Jewish education, the survey of congregations by the American Jewish Committee showed that out of the total 2,948 congregations, 554 reported that they maintained Sabbath Schools with a total enrollment of 69,439, while 604 reported that they maintained week-day schools with a total of 64,863 pupils. The National Council of Jewish Education at its meeting in June, 1927, reported that only 30 per cent of the 800,000 Jewish children of school age are receiving a Jewish education, and that while new school buildings begun or completed during the preceding twelve months were to cost over two million dollars, only seven millions are expended annually for the maintenance of Jewish schools, or less than thirty dollars per pupil. During the year the Yeshivah College of America was granted a charter by the University of the State of New York, authorizing it to grant baccalaureate degrees in Arts and Science. This institution will be the first Jewish denominational college in the United States, offering the usual college course with Jewish studies as part of the curriculum. It is expected that one of the group of buildings planned to house the college will be completed this fall. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations has been considering taking vigorous steps to bring about closer cooperation between Orthodox congregations, especially for providing religious educational facilities for the young. An important event in the congregational field during the past year was the consolidation of Temples Emanu-El and Beth-El in New York City, two of the most famous congregations in the United States; the new organization which has adopted the designation "Congregation Emanu-El," is now building a new synagogue with a community center attached. Although no statistics are available, if we may judge by references in the Jewish press, there was a recession during the past year in the number of new buildings erected by congregations in large cities, as compared with the several preceding years, and an increase in this direction 30 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK in smaller cities. Unusually interesting is the case of the synagogue being erected in Mercedes, Texas, which is to house a congregation whose members are scattered through no less than sixteen towns in the Rio Grande Valley, on both sides of a highway known as a "seventy-five mile Main Street." This has no doubt been made possible by the motorcar and good roads, and may be the forerunner of synagogues to serve the spiritual needs of small and widely scattered Jewish settlements, the number of which, as Dr. Linfield's surveys show, is considerable and growing. In the field of Jewish literature, the year was notable for the issuance by the Jewish Publication Society of a onevolume history of the Jews by Professor Max Margolis and Alexander Marx, and a new volume in the Schiff Library of Jewish Classics Series. The latter comprises the Hebrew text of the treatise Ta'anit of the Babylonian Talmud,— critically edited on the basis of manuscripts and old editions, together with an English translation, both provided with many explanatory notes. This was the work of the late Professor Henry Malter, who died on April 4, 1925, after it had been set in type but before he could revise the proofs. With regard to Jewish periodicals, the most important event of the year was the absorption on June 1, 1928, of the Jewish Daily News, the oldest Yiddish daily in the world (established 1885), by the Jewish Morning Journal. The disappearance of the Tageblatt was generally regarded as a consequence of its close and unvarying adherence, despite changing conditions and new lines of thought in Jewish life, to the ultra-conservative policies established by its founder, Kasriel H. Sarasohn, coupled with the decrease, due to restricted immigration, of the number of Jewish newspaper readers who cannot read English. The Yiddish theatre movement suffered a serious loss during the year in the discontinuance of the Yiddish Art Theatre of New York, after an existence of ten years, during which time it had made a consistent effort to present, what its director, Maurice Schwartz, believed to be the finer plays in a superior manner. An attempt is now being made by Mr. Schwartz and his sympathizers to secure the means for reviving this organization. Other Yiddish theatres, more popular in their appeal, remained in operation and not a REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 31 few of them prospered, but they have been showing a growing tendency toward assimilation to the American English theatres, in the content and character of the plays presented, in the type of acting, dancing, and songs, and also in the use of more English in dialogue and lyrics, thus reflecting the trend among the members of their audiences. The exhibition of the paintings of Leopold Pilichowski and of the sculpture of Henryk Glicenstein, both Jewish artists of Polish birth, drew a great deal of public attention and aroused much favorable criticism. In the field of Jewish organizations a significant event was the dissolution of the Order B'rith Abraham, after an existence of sixty-eight years. The New York State Insurance Commissioner ordered this fraternal body to wind up its business because it was no longer in financial condition to meet its obligations to the dependents of members who had recently died or to incur new obligations. This condition resulted from the fact that the Order's insurance benefits were not paid out of a reserve fund built up on an actuarial basis, but by the assessment method. This Order, especially during the many years the late Samuel Dorf was its President, was one of the most influential organizations of its type in America. Another interesting community event was the revival, after it had lain dormant for many years, of the idea of organizing Kehilloth in American cities. Efforts in this direction were made in Philadelphia and in Los Angeles, and in both cities such bodies, representing some but not all of the local Jewish organizations, have been established. Another new organization which should be mentioned here is the Jewish Committee on Scouting, established in the spring of 1928, upon the initiative of Mortimer L. Schiff, a vice-president of the Boy Scouts of America, for the purpose of promoting the formation and administration of boy scout troops in connection with synagogues, Jewish Centers, and similar institutions, and generally to stimulate community interest in "scouting" for the benefit of Jewish boys. We come now to a review of those significant events within the Jewish community which were related to the welfare of the Jews of other countries. These fall into three groups: 32 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK (1) those dealing with aid to Jews abroad, especially Russia; (2) those dealing with the reactions in our community to anti-Jewish outbreaks in Roumania, and in general, with the rights of minorities; and (3) those dealing with the interests of American Jewry in Palestine. In October, 1927, a Constructive Relief Conference was held in Chicago under the auspices of the United Jewish Campaign of the Joint Distribution Committee and associated Committees, organized in September, 1925, for the purpose of collecting a fund of $25,000,000 for constructive relief abroad. Reports were presented by the various officers and by Dr. Bernard Kahn, representative of the Joint Distribution Committee in Europe, and by Dr. Joseph A. Rosen, agent in Russia of the American Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation (Agro-Joint). Mr. Morris D. Waldman also reported the impressions gained by him on a trip to Poland made on behalf of the Joint Distribution Committee. A similar conference was held in New York in May last, at which the fact was brought out that the sum of $3,100,000 was needed immediately to meet commitments already made, and to enable the Joint Distribution Committee to respond to various urgent requests for assistance. On this occasion, Mr. Marshall made the statement that for years to come the work of relief will have to be continued, and that a great part of the financial burden will have to be borne by the Jewish community of the United States. In July last, David A. Brown, National Chairman of the United Jewish Campaign announced that up to the first of that month a total of $12,400,000 had been actually paid into the treasury of the Campaign committee, and that in response to the emergency appeal for the $3,100,000 referred to above, a total of $1,200,000 had been received. Earlier in the year, Mr. Brown had announced that subscriptions to the fund had reached $21,500,000. The work done during the year with the cooperation of the Joint Distribution Committee will be referred to under the various countries in which its activities centered. In March last, announcement was made by James N. Rosenberg of New York City, Chairman of the Agro-Joint, that Julius Rosenwald of Chicago had agreed to subscribe $5,000,000 to a fund of twice that size for the continuance REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 33 and further development of Jewish colonization work in Russia, after the program outlined in 1925 by the Joint Distribution Committee and the Agro-Joint shall have been completed. Later, Mr. Rosenberg announced further details of the new plan. The Russian government had agreed to expend for this work $10,000,000 over a period of ten years if an equal amount is contributed by American Jewry, and, in addition, to provide land valued at another $20,000,000. The fund collected in the United States is to be administered by a new organization, viz., The American Society for Jewish Farm Settlement in Russia, which is to continue the work in Russia through agents, of whom Dr. Joseph A. Rosen is to be the head. No campaign or drive was to be resorted to to raise the American fund, which according to the terms of agreement with the Russian government must be completed before October 1, 1928. At the time this announcement was made, the amount of $2,100,000 in addition to Mr. Rosenwald's gift had already been subscribed. While helping the Jews of European countries to reconstruct their economic life at home, American Jewry did not lose sight of the fact that emigration could also play a part in the solution of the economic problem. In the spring of 1927, upon the initiative of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), the Jewish Colonization Association (ICA) and the United Emigration Societies (Emigdirekt) with headquarters in Berlin, joined the American society in forming a new body "HICEM," for the purpose of working as a unit in Jewish emigration matters. Information and help of various kinds was to be extended to intending European Jewish emigrants by representatives of Hicem in various centers. With immigration restricted in the United States and Canada, it is the aim of this body to study the immigration possibilities of other countries, particularly some in South America, to learn the prospects for newcomers in them, give information to intending immigrants and prepare them in advance for rapid adaptation to the new conditions. At the annual meeting of HIAS in March last, it was reported by the president that "diligent survey and research has been made into such countries as Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay, where by means of interviews with government authorities and business organizations, every effort was made to see 34 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK what agricultural and industrial opportunities were open to the Jew. This information was then referred back to the HIAS branches in Poland, Roumania, Latvia, Lithuania and other European countries where HIAS, by means of classes taught languages and trades, gave instruction in agriculture and arranged for the passage of hundreds of these people to their new lands." Representatives of HICEM at points of debarkation receive the immigrants, help them to find employment, to acquire familiarity with the language and customs of the country and the like. Since the HICEM had begun to function, a total of 2,735 immigrants to South America had been aided in this manner. The HIAS continued during the year its activities on behalf of Jewish immigrants arriving in the United States. Foreign interests of American Jewry, outside of matters of relief, were concentrated during the year on Roumania where a serious anti-Jewish outbreak occurred in December, 1927, at Oradeamare, in the Transylvanian section of Roumania. In view of the fact that this outbreak occurred under the regime of the liberal party, which had arranged a modus vivendi with the Roumanian Jewish leaders, Jewish public opinion in America was divided as to the attitude to be taken toward the Roumanian Government. In the House of Representatives, Dr. William I. Sirovitch, a member of Congress from New York City, had introduced a resolution urging the United States Government to abrogate existing treaties with Roumania if anti-Jewish persecution does not cease. This action led to a conference between Mr. George Cretziano, the Roumanian Minister to the United States, Dr. Sirovitch and Louis Marshall, president of the American Jewish Committee, who had been in correspondence with Mr. Cretziano. At this conference, the latter gave assurances that his Government was determined to avert such incidents in the future. Mr. Cretziano restated his views in a letter to Dr. Sirovitch, the contents of which had the approval of his Government, and which Dr. Sirovitch made public. Representatives of the United Roumanian Jews of the United States also held conferences with Mr. Cretziano, with whom they discussed the condition of the REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 35 Jews in Roumania, and to whom they submitted suggestions for their amelioration and improvement. In August, 1927, the American Jewish Congress in conjunction with The Committee of Jewish Delegations, held a conference on Jewish rights in Zurich, Switzerland. Besides representatives of the Congress, the conference was attended by a number of representative Jews from Poland; no English, French, German, or Roumanian Jewish organizations participated. The conference decided to establish a Council on the Rights of Jewish Minorities, membership on which was to be open to all Jewish Organizations dealing with the defense of Jewish Rights and to Jewish parliamentary representatives; biennial conferences of the Council are to be held. Its headquarters were established in Geneva. American Jewish activities on behalf of Palestine were many and varied during the year. Much interest was taken in the Hebrew University. An offer to endow a chair in Yiddish language and literature was made by David Shapiro, the publisher of a Yiddish daily newspaper in New York, and accepted with conditions by the Board of Governors. In April last, at a meeting of the American Advisory Committee of the Hebrew University, announcement was made that a Society to be known as "The Friends of the University" had been formed, the members of which are to pledge $100. per annum for at least five years to be contributed for the maintenance of the University. Interest in Palestine archeological research was stimulated last spring when Dr. John Garstang of the Institute of Archeology of the University of Liverpool, formerly head of the Department of Antiquities of the Palestine Government, delivered a lecture on Archeological Exploration in the Holy Land, under the auspices of the American branch of the Jewish Palestine Exploration Society, which is the only Jewish agency doing such work in Palestine. The United Palestine Appeal which conducted a campaign to raise funds for the Zionist Organization of America, Hadassah, the Jewish National Fund, and the Keren Hayesod, reported (July 15, 1928) that since the beginning of the then current fiscal year, October 1, 1927, a total of $4,537,514.17 had been pledged, $3,257,881.14 had been paid in cash, and $2,431,522.80 had been transmitted to Palestine. 36 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK A great deal of public attention was attracted during the year by strife within the Zionist Organization of America. That dissatisfaction existed with the administration headed by the president, Louis Lipsky, became apparent at the thirtieth annual convention of the Organization early in the summer of 1927. On April 29, 1928, there was a meeting in Washington, D. C , of a number of Zionists opposed to the administration, at which charges of mismanagement and of unauthorized financial transactions were made by several persons who had previously been officials of the Organization or of affiliated bodies. These charges were promptly denied by the administration and a controversy ensued, leading eventually to a decision on the part of the administration to ask for an inquiry into its acts at the hands of an impartial committee to be selected by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization. Dr. Weizmann asked Judges Edward Lazansky, Mitchell May, Grover M. Moscowitz, and Otto A. Rosalsky, all of New York, to investigate the charges of mismanagement, especially those alleging the misuse and diversion of funds, and toward the end of June, this committee made public its report, after holding a number of hearings and examining the books and records of the Organization. After presenting various findings of fact, the report concludes by declaring that while there were instances of "loose management in the financial affairs of the Zionist Organization of America," yet "there is no proof that any person has acted or omitted to act for personal financial gain and there is no proof of any loss to the Zionist Organization of America." The report goes on to recommend that no one responsible for the irregularities pointed out should be continued as an officer or a member of any committee of the Organization and that no officer or member of any committee should be a paid employee of the Organization. At the Convention of the Organization held a few days later in Pittsburgh, Pa., while delegates opposed to the administration showed considerable strength, there were indications that a majority of the delegates present wished to retain Mr. Lipsky in office and he was persuaded to have his name placed in nomination and was elected, despite his announced intention to withdraw and the recommendation REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 37 of the judges' committee. The Constitution of the Organization was amended so as to relieve the president of responsibility for the financial affairs of the organization. While this struggle was going on within the ranks of the Zionist Organization of America, important meetings were being held in London, in which American Jewry had a vital interest. In accordance with an agreement reached between Dr. Chaim Weizmann on behalf of the World Zionist Organization, and Louis Marshall on behalf of the Non-Partisan Conference to Consider Palestine Problems (See Vol. 27, p. 130; Vol. 28, p. 127; Vol. 29, p. 102), that a "Commission should be appointed to make a thorough survey and investigation of conditions in Palestine" for the guidance of an enlarged Jewish Agency to include representatives of nonZionist elements, such a Commission had been appointed jointly by Dr. Weizmann and Mr. Marshall. Its members were Sir Alfred Mond (now Lord Melchett) of England, Oscar Wasserman, a banker, of Berlin; Felix M. Warburg and Lee K. Frankel of the United States. The Commission, in turn, appointed a body of experts to do the actual work of investigation, in accordance with terms laid down by Messrs. Weizmann and Marshall. The reports of the experts were ready late in the spring of 1928, and the Commissioners together with Messrs. Weizmann and Marshall, met in London in June. After a number of conferences, they unanimously agreed upon a set of recommendations for future work of the Jewish Agency in Palestine. The report of the Commission is published in abstract, as an appendix to this article. II. OTHER COUNTRIES We proceed now to a brief review of the most significant events of Jewish interest in other countries than the United States. Based on the general tenor of Jewish life in these lands, a division of them into Western and Eastern countries appears logical; Palestine, of course, deserves separate consideration. 38 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK A. WESTERN COUNTRIES T h e appeal of a Jewish Committee in the famous Quebec School Case (See Vol. 27, p p . 223-9) which was taken to the British Privy Council, was lost early in F e b r u a r y last. T h e Supreme Court of Canada had ruled t h a t the Board of P r o t e s t a n t School Commissioners, which administers the schools in the Province of Quebec, which are a t t e n d e d b y Jewish as well as P r o t e s t a n t children, is not obliged to give Jews representation on the Board or to appoint Jews as teachers. In sustaining this decision, the Privy Council expressed agreement with the Dominion Supreme Court which had handed down the opinion t h a t legislation for the establishment of schools for non-Christians, n o t infringing upon the rights of the Catholic and P r o t e s t a n t communities, in their schools, would be valid. This decision was greeted with satisfaction b y t h a t p a r t of Quebec Jewry which favors a separate Jewish school system, although steps in t h a t direction are not likely in the near future. Toward the end of J a n u a r y last, Col. Leopold H . Amery, British Secretary for the Colonies, came on a visit to C a n a d a . T h e Zionist Federation took a d v a n t a g e of the occasion b y appointing a delegation to wait upon him. T h e delegation was joined b y Louis Lipsky, president of the Zionist Organization of America, who also acted as spokesman and s u b mitted a petition praying for various reforms in the internal administration of Palestine to which the Secretary responded sympathetically. Canadian Jewry continued, as in years past, its active work for Jewish immigrants, who, during the year ending March 31, 1927, numbered 4,471, and its cooperation with other Jewish communities on behalf of Palestine. In E N G L A N D , the crisis over the question of Shehitah was passed in J u n e last when the House of Commons passed a Slaughter of Animals Bill, providing t h a t animals be stunned before being slaughtered, except in the case of animals slaughtered according to Jewish ritual b y an authorized Shohet. A committee headed b y the M a r q u i s of Reading was set u p for the purpose of establishing a fund of $50,000 in honor REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 39 of the late Israel Zangwill, the income to be used for giving assistance to Jewish scholars and writers. An American committee is cooperating with the English body. Following the anti-Jewish excesses at Oradea Mare, Roumania, the Joint Foreign Committee, which represents the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Anglo-Jewish Association, took up the matter with the Roumanian authorities, especially M. Nicholas Titelescu, Roumanian Foreign Minister, and received assurances similar to those given in the United States by the Roumanian Minister to Washington. In FRANCE, the chief Jewish event of the year was one which took place on French soil, but is more closely connected with Russian Jewry. It was the trial of Sholom Schwartzbard for the assassination in May, 1926, of Semion Petlura, head of the short-lived Ukranian Republic. The trial was characterized by heated disputes between attorneys. The Ukranian side while admitting that pogroms took place, contended that Petlura was not, except officially, responsible, and that Schwartzbard, in killing Petlura had acted as an agent of the Bolsheviks. The efforts on the part of Schwarzbard's counsel to prove Petlura personally condoned the pogroms, on the other hand, were bitterly resented by the Ukranians. Contrary to expectations, the trial lasted only a little over three weeks. Schwartzbard was acquitted. The Ukranian press, both in the Ukraine and abroad, expressed profound dissatisfaction with the conduct and outcome of the case. Insofar as anti-Semitism is concerned the situation of the Jews of GERMANY has not changed during the year under review. The desecration of Jewish cemeteries which began in 1923 continued. The number desecrated since then approached close on to sixty during the year. After vandalism had been perpetrated in the cemetery at Cologne, the orthodox community issued a public appeal to the population asking its aid in apprehending the vandals. In many cases, rewards were offered for information leading to their arrest. Early in the year the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith submitted to the Minister of Justice a memorandum calling attention to the numerous incidents of this nature and urging that special measures be taken to protect Jewish cemeteries. There were also two cases of attacks 40 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK upon synagogues, one at Luneberg and the other at Koenigsberg. Several anti-Jewish riots, led by Hakenkreuzler, also took place, during the year; none of these, however, had serious results. The German authorities were very energetic in suppressing all outbreaks of this nature. In a number of cases, in which the police succeeded in running down cemetery vandals, these were severely punished. The governments of Prussia, Bavaria and several other states issued special ordinances against the practice and threatening those found guilty with exemplary punishment. Anti-Jewish demonstrations were suppressed whenever their proceedings went beyond legal bounds. In May, 1927, a meeting in Berlin of 3,000 followers of Hitler, a notorious agitator, was dispersed by three hundred policemen. Similar action was taken when members of the National Socialist Party, really a reactionary group masquerading as Socialists, during a parade in Berlin, became abusive while passing through the Jewish quarter. Severe sentences were imposed upon six members of this party, convicted of terrorizing the Jewish population of Chemnitz. A professor lecturing at the law school of the University of Berlin who preached the desirability of expelling the Jews from the country was suspended by the Prussian Minister of Education. The latter created a sensation when he declined to legalize a student organization, which proposed to limit its membership to "Aryans." When the students persisted in their course, the Prussian government dissolved the organization. An unusually interesting event in connection with the attitude of one government toward the Jews, was one circular issued last April by the then Federal Minister of Labor, Braun, ordering government employment offices not to exclude from the range of their activity Sabbath-observing Jews, but to attempt to find for them such work as would permit compliance with their religious tenets. The anti-Shehitah movement was not absent in Germany. A bill to make stunning compulsory was introduced in the Diet of Bavaria. In the Prussian Diet a bill was passed limiting the number of animals to be slaughtered according to the Jewish method, proportionately to the consumption of meat by the Jewish population. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 41 Among the outstanding events within the German Jewish community were the inauguration by the Union of Jewish War Veterans of a movement to settle Jews on farm lands; the decision of the Hilfsverein der Deutschen Juden to cooperate with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in land settlement work in Russia, and to create for that purpose a fund to bear the name of Paul Nathan, late community leader; the formation of a committee for the protection of Jewish minority rights in eastern and southern Europe; the decision of the Berlin Kehillah to establish a central office for counteracting the tendency to boycott Jewish applicants for employment; and the publication of the first volume of the German edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica. B. EASTERN COUNTRIES In AUSTRIA, anti-Jewish propaganda appears to be more prevalent than in Germany; in any case, if we may judge by press reports, the Austrian authorities do not display the same vigor in suppressing this agitation as do those of Germany. For a whole month before the Passover holidays in 5687, the Vienna Volkskampf published numerous articles accusing the Jews of the practice of "ritual" murder. Despite the protests of the Kehillah the police did not at first take any action. No such agitation took place before the Passover of 5688, its absence being ascribed to the decline of the Hakenkreuz movement, following Henry Ford's retraction of the anti-Jewish charges published in his Dearborn Independent. In June, 1927, the administration of the Vienna University gave permission for an anti-Semitic lecture, at the University, on the alleged necessity of a numerus clausus for Jewish students, under the auspices of the Hakenkreuz. Later in the same month, a two-day riot took place in the University, when one of the students in the midst of a lecture suddenly shouted:' 'Out with the Jews!" Students ran amuck through the streets, raiding cafes and restaurants, molesting their patrons and passersby on the streets. The University was closed for a week, after a group of the students submitted a demand to the Senate of the institution for a numerus clausus for foreign Jewish students. There appear to have 42 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK been no occurrences of this nature during the scholastic year 1927-1928. There was a movement against Shehitah also in Austria. A decision to petition the government to enact legislation against Shehitah was taken by the Vienna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. When a similar society in the Austrian Tyrol demanded that proceedings be taken against ritual slaughters in the Bregenz district, the local government declared that, in its opinion, Shehitah does not involve cruelty. Only two communal events appear to be worth recording here: (1) the failure of an attempt preceding the elections in 1927, to form a Jewish party; (2) the creation of a committee to gather funds for the support of the cultural and welfare institutions which were established under the late chief rabbi, Zevi Perez Chajes. In an article in the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung, last winter, a writer declared that the Jews of Hungary are the most persecuted minority in Europe. Not only do they suffer from the numerus clausus in the matter of education, but also from general economic persecution; the government exercises a censorship which prevents these facts from becoming known. The brief review which follows appears to bear out this assertion. The most important event of Jewish interest in HUNGARY during the past year was the modification of the numerus clausus law. In the summer of 1927, Count Bethlen, the premier, announced at a conference of his party that the government intends in the near future to abolish the numerus clausus. This announcement was followed by loud protests from the chauvinist-nationalist elements, and when, in November, a bill on the subject was introduced in Parliament, demonstrations occurred in many places, sometimes accompanied by anti-Jewish excesses. There were riots in some of the universities. The anti-Jewish demonstrations and rioting practically ceased when the true nature of the government's -measure became known to the public. The bill substituted for enrollment along racial lines a system of preferences. Children of government officials receive first preference in being admitted to universities; the next category includes children of war REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 43 veterans and army officers; the third category comprises the children of peasants and of small artisans; the fourth category includes the children of persons engaged in industry; and the fifth of children of merchants. Inasmuch as an overwhelming number of the Jews of Hungary are engaged in commerce, the new law was expected to be as effective as, if not more than, the old in limiting the admission of Jews to institutions of higher learning. This information mollified the anti-Jewish elements, but aroused keen disappointment among Jews and the liberal part of the Hungarian population. After a series of protracted debates in both Houses of Parliament, the bill was passed in February, 1928, thus making it possible for the Hungarian representatives to the League of Nations to report that Hungary had kept the promise made to the Council in 1926 that the numerus clausus would be speedily abolished. During the discussion of this bill, the government ordered a series of raids in the northeastern part of the country aimed at the expulsion of aliens not possessing the legal right of residence. In previous raids of this kind, the expulsion of Jews born in Hungary and whose forebears had been born in the country for generations back were seized and expelled. The order of the Ministry of the Interior aroused such a storm of protest that, shortly after it was promulgated, the Council of Ministers ordered its withdrawal. The abolition of Shehitah was threatened in Hungary as in other lands. When a bill regulating the slaughter of animals was introduced in Parliament last spring, the demand was made by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that stunning be made obligatory, or if an»exemption were made for the Jewish method the number of animals to be so slaughtered be limited in proportion to the consumption of meat by Jews. At this writing (July 15) no word is at hand as to the fate of this measure. The only communal item of any importance refers to Zionism. Since the inception of the present Hungarian State, the government had declined to legalize Zionist work. But late in October, 1927, the Minister of the Interior approved the statutes of the Zionist Organization of Hungary on the ground that Zionism had been given international recognition by the League of Nation in the Palestine Mandate. The 44 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK first national convention of the new body took place in April last. In ROUMANIA, up to the middle of June, 1927, the situation of the Jews was most humiliating and insecure. AntiJewish outbreaks were frequent and widespread. They were, in most cases, instigated and perpetrated by university students, members of the League of Christian Students, founded and inspired by the notorious Professor Cuza. Complaints and petitions were repeatedly submitted to the government, but without result. In March, 1927, a delegation of Jews called on Octavian Goga, Minister of the Interior, and presented to him a memorandum citing cases of attacks upon Jewish passengers on railway trains by students. Goga's answer was decidedly hostile. He declared that "Jews also perpetrated excesses," and that "it is impossible for me (him) to apply force against the Roumanian students." Goga's statement as to excesses by Jews referred to several cases in which Jews had tried to defend themselves against attack. In his report to the Joint Foreign Committee, in May, Lucien Wolf, its secretary, declared that the Roumanian Government does not desire to restrain the anti-Jewish propaganda. A change in the situation came with the fall of the Averescu Cabinet in June, 1927, when a temporary coalition cabinet was formed by Prince Barbu Stirbey, pending general elections on July 7. The new premier issued a statement pledging his government to various reforms and the maintenance of law and order. When the cabinet was completed it also issued a manifesto promising protection for the life and property of all citizens without discrimination as to race, religion, or nationality. Before the elections, there was some discussion in Jewish circles regarding the advisability of creating a Jewish political party. A group of Jewish leaders, headed by Dr. William Filderrrian, opposed this suggestion, and engaged in negotiations with the leaders of the Liberal Party which, it was believed, would win the elections, concerning an understanding with the Jewish voters. An agreement along such lines; was reached, and the bulk of the Jews of Roumania voted! for the Liberal Party, although in Transylvania, the Jewish National Party supported the National Peasant Party. In REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 45 conformity with the agreement five seats in the Chamber of Deputies and two Senate Mandates were given to Jews. With the advent of the new government, the anti-Jewish agitation practically ceased. But early in December, a Congress of Christian Students held at Oradea Mare in Transylvania became the occasion for anti-Hungarian and antiJewish riot on a large scale. Many persons were injured, stores were ransacked, houses pillaged, synagogues raided and Scrolls of the Law profaned and other ritual articles pilfered. The train bearing the students to their homes stopped in various cities en route, and smaller riots along the same lines were perpetrated. In Cluj (formerly Klausenburg) a group of the students were arrested and held for trial. Several hundred more were arrested upon their return to Bucharest. These incidents aroused heated discussion in Parliament. Dr. Filderman accused the government of having neglected to take adequate preventive measures in spite of the fact that it had been warned that an outbreak was likely. Members of the Opposition charged the Government with intentional negligence. In reply to an interpellation in the Senate, M. Duca, Minister of the Interior, declared that the government profoundly deplores the riots, and will, at public cost, rebuild the synagogues which were destroyed and repair other damage. Later, the government removed the prefects of police in both Oradea Mare and Cluj, and forbade all student meetings. The University of Bucharest decided to expel all students convicted of plundering and profaning Jewish religious objects and synagogues, and to suspend for a year those convicted of minor offenses. In May, 1928, the Government dissolved the Christian Student's League. A survey made in June last by the correspondent of The Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Bucharest showed that of the Bucharest students accused of complicity in the Oradeamare excesses, 30 had been sentenced to from ten days to six months' imprisonment and permanently expelled from the University, while 380 were suspended from the University for a year. In Jassy, 15 students, and in Cluj, 8 students were imprisoned and expelled. In addition, three prefects, a director, an inspector, a commissioner and two sub-commissioners of police were removed from office. The press also 46 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK reported that the Roumanian Government had appropriated a total of 24,000,000 lei (about $150,000) as compensation to persons whose property was damaged during the excesses and for the restoration of synagogues. The reports of anti-Jewish disturbances and their results and consequences overshadowed other news from Roumania. Just before the Oradeamare outbreak, the American Jewish Committee announced that the Government had decided to reopen all the Jewish schools which had been closed under the Averescu regime, to annul a regulation of that Government forbidding Jewish schools to close on Saturday, and to excuse Jewish pupils in public schools from writing on Saturday. In all municipal councils elected since the advent of the new Government Jews had been included, and a number of the Councils had made provisions for contributing to schools maintained by the Jewish communities. Communal events centered around organization. A conference at Cernauti (Czernowitz), Bukowina, in May last, decided to form a Jewish National Federation for Bukowina, preliminary to the creation of a general federation for the entire country. Later a conference of Jewish leaders from various parts of the country decided to form a nation-wide union for communal cooperation. Probably the outstanding event of Jewish interest io POLAND during the past year was the change in the political attitude of the Jewish population. Whereas, in former years most of the Jewish voters supported the candidates of the ticket placed in the field by the minorities bloc, this was not the case in the elections for the Sejm held last March. The Jews were split up into no less than eight factions. In addition several of the National parties placed Jewish candidates on their lists. The Agudath Israel, orthodox organization, gave its support to the Government party; the Zionists of East Galicia put up their own ticket. As a result, the number of Jewish representatives returned to the Sejm at the recent elections was half of the number in the preceding Parliament, and not all the Jewish deputies support the same policy. At the present time, even those deputies who have joined in forming a Jewish bloc are in disagreement as to their attitude toward the Government, some favoring union with the opposition Darties and others favoring an independent attitude REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 47 T h e former group point out t h a t the Government has not realized the hopes which the Jewish population had placed in it. In a speech in the Sejm, last April, Senator David Schreiber expressed this view. "Unfortunately," he said, "we have been disillusioned. T h e Tsarist restrictions against Jews still apply in Poland. T h e compulsory S u n d a y closing law and other injustices against t h e Jews have n o t been removed, and no account has been taken either of the economic or the national demands of the Jews. We ask for the realization of the just Jewish demands and then we Jews will from all points of view take u p our stand in support of the G o v e r n m e n t . " T h e political condition of the Jews of Poland has nevertheless improved during the year. Incomplete figures covering a b o u t half the country show t h a t , a t the municipal elections in August, 1927, of t h e 1597 municipal councillors elected in 68 towns, 540 were Jews. Before the opening of the scholastic year 1927-1928, the Government issued a circular against the continuance of the illegal numerus clausus which was still in force in some of t h e Universities. In October, 1927, announcement was made t h a t a D e p a r t m e n t of Jewish Studies is to be created a t the College of Philosophy of t h e University of Warsaw for the purpose of training teachers for the religious instruction of Jewish pupils in the state high schools. In J a n u a r y last, the Yiddish schools in Warsaw were given the s t a t u s of public schools, and t h e Education Commission of t h a t city voted to increase considerably the public allotment for the support of these schools. T h e threatened withdrawal from Jewish hands of monopoly concessions which was scheduled to go into effect on J a n u a r y 1, 1928, was p u t off to J u l y 1. A t the present writing there are no reports as to whether it will actually go into effect on that date. In regard to Shehitah, an agitation against this practice was begun at the beginning of 1928 by a newspaper which was supported by a number of Polish organizations. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals submitted a memorandum on the subject to the Minister of the Interior. The National Organization of Polish Women decided to call a conference on the subject. The belief was prevalent among the Jewish population that the agitation was instigated by 48 AMERICAN JEWISH-YEAR BOOK elements which desired to oust Jewish merchants and workers from the meat industry. This view was partially borne out by the fact that a memorandum asking the Government to prohibit Shehitah was presented by the Guild of Polish Butchers. It is said that the suggestion is supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, but opposed by the Ministries of the Interior and of Public Worship and Education. In the city of Warsaw, notwithstanding the vigorous opposition of Jewish municipal councillors, an inquiry into the advisability of compulsory stunning of animals before slaughtering was decided upon. Except for a few incidents, Poland was practically free from anti-Jewish disturbances during the past year. Polish students of the University of Lemborg staged a demonstration in March after the results of the elections became known, and it was found that two of the four deputies sent to Parliament from Eastern Galicia were Jews. The police, however, took drastic measures and arrested many of the rioters. In the preceding summer, there had been anti-Jew riots in Lemborg, apparently an echo of similar incidents then taking place in Roumania. Jewish leaders, however, expressed satisfaction with the attitude of the police during the disorders. In December, the Warsaw Technical Institute was forced to suspend lectures for a time because a group of the students declared a one-day strike after the Minister of Education had refused to approve an amendment to the by-laws of the student organization, providing for the exclusion of Jews from membership. When the students rejected the Minister's ruling, he ordered the organization dissolved; a strike followed and was answered by the closing of the school. While there were no cases of desecration of Jewish cemeteries, the Jews of Stargard, Pomerania, were thrown into a panic in August, 1927, when a Protestant cemetery in that city was damaged and a rumor was started that the act of vandalism had been perpetrated by Jews in revenge for the desecration of Jewish cemeteries in Germany. Fortunately, however, the police succeeded in apprehending the culprit who proved to be a Christian. The economic situation of the Jewish in Poland continued to be unfavorable during the past year. There was a sensa- REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 49 tional report in the spring of 1927 that in Bialystok a number parents had advertised that they were prepared to sell some of their children in order to provide food for the others. It was also reported that in order to provide their children with the necessaries of life some parents were sending their children to missionary homes. A new trade law, which went into effect early in the present year, complicated the situation of Jewish artisans. The law requires that artisans who wish to establish their own shops pass an examination, eligibility for which requires a threeyear apprenticeship, which, in turn, is not open to those who have not completed a three years' course in a trade school. The Government, it is true, established a number of trade schools, but their limited capacity and the fact that they employ Polish as the language of instruction, have been keeping many Jews away. The Joint Distribution Committee at the request of the Polish ORT, is at present making a study of the subject with a view to determining the advisability of supplementing the Government schools with Jewish schools. Some relief from the hardships imposed by the compulsory Sunday Rest Law was granted to some sections of Polish Jewry, and the Government in the spring of 1927 decided to permit small traders and artisans who employ no help to engage in their business for several hours on Sundays. During July last, the Joint Distribution Committee reported that during the year 1927, over a milllion Polish Jews had benefitted by the credit institutions which had been established with the support of the committee. A total of 874 of such institutions were then in existence. These loan Kassas are situated in cities and towns having together 80% of the Jewish population of the country. In communal affairs the year was made noteworthy by the failure of the Warsaw Kehillah to agree on a budget for the Jewish schools. The Board was split into three factions, some opposing any allotment to the Hedarim, some being against supporting the Tarbuth schools in which Hebrew is the language of instruction, and the third faction being opposed to the Yiddish schools maintained principally by the labor elements. The Government was appealed to to settle the dispute. 50 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK In March, 1928, the President of Poland issued a decree in connection with the communal organization of the Jews of Poland. According to this decree the Supreme Council of this organization is to consist of 63 members, 34 of whom are to be laymen, and 17 rabbis, to be elected by the communities; the remainder, 8 laymen and 4 rabbis, are to be appointed by the Government. In May last, the Jews in Polish Silesia organized a Union of Democratic Jews to protect Jewish interests in the religious, cultural, economical and political fields, and to combat anti-Semitism. In RUSSIA, three important questions engaged the attention of the Jewish population, viz., (1) agricultural colonization, (2) urban industrialization and (3) the growth of antiSemitism. Insofar as agricultural colonization is concerned, it may be noted that August 30, 1928 will mark the completion of four years of activity in this direction by the Government. According to a report rendered to the Constructive Relief Conference, held in Chicago last October, by Dr. Joseph Rosen, agent of the American Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation, up to that time there had been settled on the land a total of 35,000 Jewish families; the total area occupied by these colonists being approximately 800,000 acres. During the past year this work has been continued and, as was mentioned above under United States, an endeavor is being made to raise sufficient funds to continue it for the next ten years. During the year, the Government decided to utilize a part of Siberia for agricultural colonization by Jews. This region is known as Bureya. After it had been made ready, a group of Jewish colonists were transported to the region. The American Agro-Joint as has been announced, will not participate in this enterprise. Reports which were received in May indicate that much damage was caused to crops in some of the Jewish colonies by storms; the Crimea colonies were, however, not seriously affected. Demands that the Government help in the industrialization of Jews who were without work, were made by representatives of Jewish Organizations during the year. The wretched condition of thousands of Jewish artisans gave rise to this demand. In August, 1927, Central Executive Com- REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 51 mittee decided that the Comzet, the Government department originally charged with the supervision of the work of settling Jews on the land, include in its activities steps to further the industrialization of the Jewish masses. In the spring of 1928 the Ukranian Soviet ordered the local Soviets in a number of places to take vigorous measures to combat the unemployment in those districts, mainly among the Jewish population, by providing the unemployed with implements and tools and undertaking public works on which they may be employed. These Soviets were directed also to increase the subsidies being given to Jewish technical and trade schools. The Russian press gave a great deal of attention during the past year to indications that anti-Semitism was spreading among the workers and even members of the Communist Party. The newspapers gave full publicity to numerous instances of persecution of Jewish workers by their comrades and warned readers that anti-Semitism would hurt the cause of the revolution. The Government encouraged the publication of books and leaflets condemning anti-Semitism, and a number of persons charged with molesting Jews were brought to trial. The anti-Semitic epidemic spread even to the children in schools and several cases are on record of the cruel maltreatment of Jewish pupils by their non-Jewish schoolmates. Indications are that the Government looks on this phenomenon as one of its most serious problems. The anti-religious activities of the Jewish section of the Communist party continued during the year, but on a much smaller scale than heretofore. The rabbis vigorously combatted this propaganda, especially the anti-Passover campaign during the past spring, when it was reported that matzoth was sold in great quantities in the Ukraine. Traveling rabbis and preachers openly protested against the attempt to suppress the celebration of the Passover. The traditional collections to aid poor Jewish families in celebrating the festival were carried on openly in White Russian and Ukrainian towns. In Moscow, the synagogues were crowded during the Passover services and half a million pounds of matzoth were sold. The Jewish communists were also very much disturbed by the wide distribution of Jewish religious books in Russia. 52 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK In an editorial published recently, the Yiddish Communist Daily, Ernes, asks why the Government printing plant has published 85,000 copies of religious books, including prayer books, Pentateuchs, and manuals for women and children, for a single Jewish bookseller in Bobruisk, and demands t h a t an investigation be made as to why a Jewish publisher in Berdichev was permitted by the Ukranian Government to print similar books of which he sold 100,000 during 1927. C. PALESTINE T h e following is a summary of the most important facts regarding Palestine contained in the report of Dr. Weitzmann, President of the World Zionist Organization, submitted in J u n e last to Lord Plumer, British High Commissioner of Palestine, for transmittal to the permanent M a n d a t e s Commission of the League of Nations. Only 2,713 immigrants entered Palestine during 1927. T h e decline was a direct result of the economic depression during t h a t year. At the same time there was considerable emigration of Jews from Palestine. This totalled 5,073 in 1927 as compared with 7,365 in 1926, when the economic depression began; the net Jewish immigration during 1927 was therefore, 2,360. Sixty-three percent of the immigrants had resided in Palestine for less than two years, and another twenty-four percent had resided in the country for three years or less. As for unemployment, this continued to present a serious problem during 1927. T h e average number of unemployed was 7,150. At the end of the year there were 6,361 u n e m ployed on the register of the Jewish Labor Federation. By March, 1928, however, the unemployment had decreased t o such an extent t h a t direct relief was being paid to only 2,750 persons (as compared to 5,000 in 1927), and early in April it was found possible to absorb the remaining unemployed workmen and to suspend entirely the p a y m e n t of doles, in spite of the fact t h a t during the first three months of 1928 immigration again began to exceed emigration. T h e Zionist Organization spent during 1927, a total £150,000 on u n e m ployment relief; the Labor Federation imposed on those of its members who had employment a tax which brought in REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 53 over £30,000, which were used also for unemployment relief. It is to be noted that the Zionist Organization bore the entire burden of Jewish unemployment and that no Jew became a charge upon the public funds of Palestine. The economic depression did not vitally affect agricultural colonization. The older Keren Hayesod settlements covered eighty-five percent of their requirements from the proceeds of their own work, and only £8,000 had to be contributed for the support of these settlements as compared with £27,000 needed in 1926. An increase in the land devoted to citrus cultivation is marked in the settlements not under control of the Keren Hayesod. According to a census of the agricultural settlements made in April, 1927, by the Palestine Zionist Executive, there were at the time, 104 such settlements supporting a population of 30,500 souls on 1,000,000 dunams (about 250,000 acres) of land, with 11,521 head of cattle in addition to 4,567 draft animals. Urban development naturally was retarded by the economic depression, but towards the end of 1927 there were indications that change was about to take place; a fair amount of new building was begun. Industrial development was also retarded during the year, but in industry there are also signs of approaching revival. Several firms which were obliged to close down during 1926 reopened during 1927, and progress was reported in the textile, tanning, woodworking, metal working and printing industries. The year 1927 was marked by an appreciable increase in the export of manufactures to Syria, and three companies were formed for exporting Palestine manufactures to various Jewish communities in other countries. The government gave a stimulus to industry by exempting various raw materials from import duty. The Palestine Electric Company operating the so-called Rutenberg concession considerably extended the scope of its operations during 1927. Statistics of the workings of the company's power stations at Jaffa, Haifa, and Tiberias, show that during 1926-27 the company sold a total of over 2,000,000 kilowatt hours of current for power, residential and street lighting, and other purposes. There was not during 1927, as in 1926, any outbreak of typhoid fever; malaria however, was more frequent during 1927 and severely hit many of the agricultural settlements. 54 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK During the year, 10,332 patrons were a d m i t t e d to four Hadassah hospitals, in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Haifa a n d Safed. M o r e t h a n 115,000 new patrons of all creeds were treated in the Hadassah clinics throughout the country. An import a n t event in connection with public health, was the dedication of the N a t h a n and Lina S t r a u s Health Center in Jerusalem on M a r c h 31, 1927, the gift of N a t h a n and Lina S t r a u s of New York City, who have devoted the sum of $250,000 for this purpose. T h e y have also offered to establish another health center in Tel-Aviv a t the cost of $75,000. In the m a t t e r of education it is worth noting t h a t a t t h e beginning of the school year 1927-28, the total n u m b e r of Jewish schools in Palestine was 275, having an enrollment of 26,537 pupils; 222 of these schools serving 18,611 pupils, are under the supervision of the Palestine Zionist Executive. In addition other Jewish schools are gradually accepting the supervision of t h a t organization. Of the 222 schools under the supervision of the Educational Committee of the Zionist Organization, 111 are kindergartens, 97 are elementary schools, 4 are secondary schools, 3 are technical schools, 4 are teachers' seminaries and 3 are miscellaneous institutions. I t is interesting in this connection to note t h a t , for t h e year 1926-27, the government grant-in-aid for the Jewish schools maintained b y the Zionist Organization was £14,870, almost double the g r a n t in 1925-26, and almost seven times as much as was granted in 1924-25; for the year 1927-28 t h e sum of £19,603 has been allocated b y t h e government for this purpose. During 1927 the work of the existing d e p a r t m e n t s of t h e Hebrew University has been continued and preparations were undertaken for the establishment of new institutes, and for the erection of several new buildings. I t should be noted here t h a t early in 1928, the Board of Governors of the university decided to introduce under-graduate studies leading t o the baccalaureate degree. T h e Jewish National a n d University Library had, on t h e first of December, 1927, a total of 173,111 volumes (137,000 works). Of this n u m b e r 57,700 books were Hebraica a n d Judaica. T h e increase in the library during the year was approximately 36,000 volumes. T h e promulgation of the Religious Communities Organization Ordinance in 1926 was followed in 1927 b y the publi 1 REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 55 cation of draft regulations for the organization of the Jewish community. These regulations provide for three bodies representative of the Jewish community: (1) Rabbinical Council, (2) the Elected Assembly, and (3) the General Council; these are empowered in their several spheres to conduct the internal affairs of the community and to levy taxes on its members for education, poor relief, care of the sick, and other communal services. Steps are now being taken by the existing National Council for the election of thefirstElective Assembly in accordance with the regulations. Contributions to the Palestine Foundation Fund during the year ending September, 1927, reached the total of £883,616. The Jewish National Fund receipts during 192627 totaled £289,000. APPENDIX THE REPORT OF THE JOINT PALESTINE SURVEY COMMISSION NOTE: At the time of going to press, there was not at hand a complete official copy of the report of the Joint Palestine Survey Commission. This was presented in two parts,—the first containing the findings of fact; the second, containing the recommendations of the Commission based upon these findings and the reports of the experts. Below are given (1) a brief abstract of the first part of the report and (2) the full text of the second part and the conclusion. Both the abstract and the text are reprinted from the New Judaea, London, of June 29, 1928. 1. ABSTRACT OF PART ONE Jews constitute not more than 18 per cent of the population of Palestine. They occupy a comparatively small fraction of its territory. Moslems and Christians occupy the greater part of the land and constitute the preponderating majority of the people. A considerable part of the country has not been developed to the extent that its economic welfare and the health and comfort of its inhabitants require. Large tracts of land consist of swamps and marshes which should be drained in order to assure safe sanitary conditions. The highway system which is necessary for effective transportation is still in its incipient stages. Little is known as to the subterranean water supply. The land is practically without forests, and it is evident that in many other respects the absence of necessary Public Works constitute an obstacle to the attainment of that degree of progress which is essential to the growth of the country. To a substantial extent the Palestine Zionist Executive has employed its funds in carrying out projects with which in fact it is not equitably chargeable. They benefit the entire country and in a sense have con- 56 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK stituted the performance of what are State functions and obligations as distinguished from those not pertaining to the administration of public affairs. In most countries the protection of the public health, the promotion of education, the construction of highways and the drainage of large areas, are regarded as Governmental functions. The expense incident to the reasonable exercise of these functions should be borne not by a part but by all the people of the country to be met by means of a just system of taxation—and not merely by a portion of the people. So far as the public health is concerned, the establishment and maintenance of effective methods of sanitation are clearly not the business of a comparatively small fraction of the population. The prevention of disease and of epidemics benefits all. The elimination of malaria, for instance, regarded even from an economic standpoint, adds to the efficiency of every single individual. The enforcement of vaccination, the prevention of trachoma, tuberculosis and other similar ailments, safeguards every dweller in the land. The ascertainment by a proper hydrographic survey of the surface and subterranean water resources of the country, their protection from defilement and waste, and the planting and protection of forests, of necessity benefit all because they tend to add to the public wealth and eventually would add to the revenues of the country. The advantages of education are incapable of exaggeration, yet thus far the Government of Palestine has contributed comparatively little to the Jewish schools. It cannot be expected that the Government should defray the entire cost of education, but so long as reasonable standards established by it are observed in the schools, the expense of elementary education should be adequately subventioned by the Government. This does not mean that it should have any concern with religious, secondary, technical or special lines of education. We refer merely to the most fundamental phases of it. If any part of the people desires to supplement sanitation or hospitalisation or education, the expense attendant upon such further kinds of health and educational work should be borne by those desiring such supplementation. This brings us to a consideration of the powers and duties of the Palestine Government as laid down in the Mandate of July 24th, 1922, whereby His Britannic Majesty's Government became the Mandatory for Palestine. By Article 1 of that historic document, the Mandatory was given full powers of legislation and administration save as limited in the terms of the Mandate. By Article 2 the Mandatory was made responsible for "placing the country under such administrative and economic conditions as would secure the establishment of the Jewish National Home" as laid down in the Preamble of the Mandate, which recites the terms of the Balfour Declaration. By the same Article, the Mandatory was made responsible for the development of self-governing institutions and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants irrespective of race and creed. By Article 4 the Jewish Agency was recognised "for the purpose of advising and co-operating with the Administration of Palestine in such REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 57 economic, social and other matters as may affect the establishment of the Jewish National Home and the interests of the Jewish population in Palestine, and, subject always to the control of the Administration, to assist and take part in the development of the country." This merely speaks of co-operation and assistance but does not impose upon the Jews burdens which should be borne alike by all the inhabitants of Palestine, nor does it amount to an assumption by the Jewish Agency, nor the right by it to assume the functions pertaining to the Palestine Government. Article II provides that "the Administration of Palestine shall take all necessary measures to safeguard the interests of the community in connection with the development of the country, and, subject to any international obligations accepted by the Mandatory, shall have full power to provide for public ownership or control of any of the natural resources of the country or of the public works, services and utilities established or to be established therein. It shall introduce a land system appropriate to the needs of the country, having regard, among other things, to the desirability of promoting the close settlement and intensive cultivation of the land." This provision recognises, we submit, the obligations of the Government to the extent that we are claiming. By the second paragraph of Article 11 the Administration is permitted to arrange with the Jewish Agency for it to construct and operate, upon fair and equitable terms, any public works, services and utilities, and to develop any of the natural resources of the country, in so far as these matters are not directly undertaken by the Administration. That, however, does not imply that the cost of such construction, operation and development is to be borne exclusively by the Jewish Agency. At all events if fair and equitable terms with the Jewish Agency cannot be agreed upon, it does not absolve the Government from constructing and operating such public works, services and utilities and to develop such natural resources as are necessary for the general welfare. Again in Article 18 it is declared: "Subject as aforesaid and to the other provisions of this Mandate, the Administration of Palestine may, on the advice of the Mandatory, impose such taxes and Customs duties as it may consider necessary, and take such steps as it may think best to promote the development of the natural resources of the country and to safeguard the interests of the population." Here again we find recognition of the principle which we are seeking to elucidate, narriely, that the Jewish Agency should not be expected to meet the obligations which rest on the Palestine Government. Further support of this idea is afforded by the White Paper of June, 1922, and especially of the letter of the Colonial Office to the Zionist Organisation of June 3rd, 1922, with the accompanying enclosure setting forth the British policy in Palestine, and the communication of the Zionist Organisation to the Colonial Office of June 18th, 1922, giving assurance that the activities of the Zionist Organisation would be in conformity with the policy mentioned. So, too, the correspondence of the Colonial Office with the High Commissioner of Palestine with respect to the proposed formation of an Arab Agency presented to Parliament by command of His Majesty in November, 1923, strongly fortifies this interpretation. 58 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Throughout these documents stress is laid on the fact that the Palestine Government was to be conducted as one affecting all the people, and that neither the Jewish Agency nor the contemplated Arab Agency was to undertake obligations and burdens which of right belong to the entire population represented by the Palestine Government. In this connection we venture to refer to the subject of taxation and the registration of land titles. It is rather startling to learn that to a great extent there has been no adequate provision for the settlement and registration of titles. Recently an Ordinance has been promulgated dealing with lands in villages. Until the titles of rural properties are finally settled there will necessarily arise confusion and litigation, and the owners of agricultural land will be hampered in their efforts to borrow money secured by mortgages on their land because of the possible insecurity of the titles. Although these difficulties are recognised the land survey undertaken is far from completion. Such a survey necessarily constitutes the first step toward the adoption of a system looking to the quieting of titles and their registration. The expense of such a survey is, of course, borne by the Government. The early completion would advance land development. The facilitation of the acquisition and the disposition of land, conforms with public policy. The laws and the methods of taxation which are now in force are recognised to be archaic and inequitable. They discriminate in favour of those lands which are not cultivated, and which are therefore unproductive, and penalise the industry and enterprise of those who add to the productivity of the soil and to the prosperity of the country. In most countries where land taxation prevails, it is upon the basis of the fair value of the land, whether it be cultivated or not, or whether the methods of husbandry be good or bad. The actual value of the land is, as it should be, the controlling factor. Any other policy obstructs the economic development of the country. It is hoped, therefore, that a fiscal policy may soon be adopted which will tend to equalisation in taxation upon a reasonable basis. In recent years the products of the Palestinian soil have largely increased and there are gratifying possibilities of further increase. The vineyards and the tobacco fields give promise of good financial returns were it possible to export into the British Empire the wine and other liquors produced from the grapes as well as tobacco both in its raw and in its manufactured state, at reduced customs rates. The home market, confined as it is to local consumption, can absorb only a small part of the production. Foreign markets are, therefore, essential to the profitable development of this industry. There is an encouraging demand for these products in Great Britain. A serious difficulty, however, is encountered in the Laws regulating imports into the territory of the Mandatory Government, and subject the Palestinian producer and his infant industry to destructive competition. If these products were afforded the advantage of Imperial Preference, there would be an encouragement to those who are investing their capital and devoting their labour in this promising field of what may be called the Palestinian agricultural industry. It would add to the wealth of Palestine and thereby enable it to expand in many directions. In view of the comparatively large imports REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 59 it is desirable that they be counterbalanced so far as practicable by the volume of exports. The power to grant Imperial Preference has been questioned on the theory that the so-called Most Favoured Nation Clauses contained in various Treaties of the Imperial Government stand in the way. It would seem, however, that these Clauses are inapplicable to Palestine. They refer to "other" Foreign States or Nations or Countries or Powers, but Palestine does not properly come within any of these designations. It is not in reality "foreign." The language of the Clauses in question cannot properly be stretched so as to apply to Palestine over which His Britannic Majesty's Government is the Mandatory. The relations created by the Mandate are of the most intimate character. Although Palestine is not constituted British territory and cannot be said to be a Protectorate, yet its affairs are under the supervision of the British Colonial Office. While not, strictly speaking, a British Colony, nevertheless in some aspects it partakes of the character of a Colony. Comprehensive duties toward Palestine have been imposed upon the Mandatory by the Council of the League of Nations. By Article 2 of the Mandate, the Mandatory is made responsible for "placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish National Home.'' By Article 3 "the Mandatory, as far as circumstances permit, is to encourage local autonomy." By Article 5 the Mandatory is responsible "for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of, the Government of any foreign Power." By Article 9 the Mandatory is responsible "for seeing that the judicial system established in Palestine shall assure to foreigners as well as to natives, a complete guarantee of their rights." By Article 10 "pending the making of special extradition agreements relating to Palestine, the extradition treaties in force between the Mandatory and other foreign Powers shall apply to Palestine." By Article 12 the Mandatory is "entrusted with the control of the foreign relations of Palestine and the right to issue exequaturs to consuls appointed by foreign Powers. He shall also be entitled to afford diplomatic and consular protection to citizens of Palestine when outside its territorial limits." These among other provisions demonstrate that with the existence of so close a relationship between Palestine and the Mandatory the idea that they are foreign to one another is inconceivable, in fact it is implicitly excluded. Consequently we submit that the Most Favoured Nations Clause would seem to be inapplicable. A further significant fact bearing on this point is that Imperial Preference has by Orders-in-Council been accorded to practically all other Mandated territories assigned to Great Britain with the sole exception of Iraq. Although there are differences between the three classes of Mandates created by the Covenant of the League of Nations, it is believed, so far as the matter now under consideration is concerned, that these differences are not material. The resolution adopted by the Permanent Mandates Commission at its session in July, 1925, to the effect that the Council of the League of Nations "should recommend to the 60 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Mandatory Powers, and also to all States, whether members or not of the League of Nations, which have concluded special Treaties or Conventions with the Mandatory Power . . . to extend the benefits of such Treaties or Conventions to mandated territories . . ." would indicate that, in the view of the Mandates Commission there is no distinction between the various types of mandated territories on the question of "the well-being and development" of those territories (to use the phrase of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations) and that they are all to be treated on an equality as virtually forming part of the Mandatory Power to which they are attached. But regardless of these considerations, the relations between Palestine and the Mandatory are of a special character which bring them outside of the purview of the Most Favoured Nations Clause as interpreted and applied in International Law. Various precedents have been called to our attention illustrative of this statement. Thus, France has applied the regime of tariff assimilation to Tunis, although the latter belongs to the non-assimilated group of the French protectorates, and its Government is carried on under the direction of the French Foreign Office and not—as in the case of Palestine by the British Colonial Office. The United States extended preferential tariffs to Hawaii before its annexation. Portugal likewise granted such preference to Brazil, as did Cuba to various Latin-American States. There have likewise been instances of preferential practices in cases of territorial contiguity. A notable instance is to be found in the grant of a duty reduction of 20 per cent accorded by the United States to Cuba in 1903. Cuba was unquestionably a foreign State, yet the extraordinary circumstances which brought the United States and Cuba into relation with one another, and the moral obligations which the United States recognised as existing on its part towards Cuba, were considered a justification for this procedure in the face of the most favoured nation relations which the United States bore to other nations. The test of "extraordinary circumstances" as shaping the relations between two territories and as determining the interpretation of the treaty clauses under discussion may be said to have full scope between the Mandatory and Palestine. It is not likely that any other Nation would view the allowance of Imperial Preference by the Mandatory to Palestine as the grant of a "favour," according to the fair intendment of that word as employed in the clauses in the Treaties to which reference has been made. Even though such preference be not an absolute right, the conferring of it would be justified by considerations similar to those obtaining between a guardian and his ward. PART TWO 2. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT In surveying the results of ten years' Jewish activity in Palestine due weight must be given to the special character of the problem which had to be dealt with. The unsettled condition of Palestine at the close REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 61 of the War and the political unrest which prevailed there were in themselves sufficient to make it necessary for both the Government of Palestine and for all colonising agencies to proceed cautiously. Until 1920 Palestine was governed as a country under military occupation. A civil administration under a British High Commissioner was established in July, 1920, and two years elapsed before the status of Palestine was regularised by the confirmation of the terms of the Mandate by the Council of the League of Nations. Throughout this period Palestine was disturbed by political agitation, which culminated in the Jaffa riots of May, 1921. Since then there has been no disturbance of the public peace, and the tension which had existed was gradually relaxed. The anti-Zionist agitation among the Arabs has practically ceased, largely because they realised that Jewish immigration, far from injuring them, has in many respects, in fact, been materially to their advantage. Nevertheless, in appraising the work which has been done in Palestine it should be borne in mind that the country is one in which the great majority of the inhabitants are not Jewish. It was, moreover, a country which not only had been devastated by the War, but suffered from centuries of neglect. It was not without natural resources, but little or nothing had been made of them, and both time and money were required for their development. In the condition existing at the termination of the War, Palestine was not a promising field for colonisation, even had its area been more extensive and its soil more fertile. In important respects the problem with which the Zionist Organisation had to deal was unusual. The Zionist Organisation was devoid of governmental powers. It did not possess a Government's resources of land or money. It relied solely upon voluntary contributions. That it was able to secure a fund averaging nearly £650,000 annually affords striking testimony to the devotion and the enthusiasm of its supporters. Most of the immigrants had little or no agricultural experience. Most of them came from countries in whic,h living conditions were altogether different from those prevalent in Palestine. They were, however, imbued by a lofty ideal. Due weight being given to these considerations, a broad survey of Jewish activities in Palestine since the close of the War leads to the general conclusion that the results may be regarded as hopeful for the future, though mistakes have been committed in the course of these years. Based upon the reports of the Experts and upon their own personal observations, the Commissioners have reached the following conclusions and make the following recommendations:— I I . — I IMMIGRATION 1. The immigration programme of the Palestine Zionist Executive has not always been prepared with due retard to actual facts and conditions. Conclusions of too sanguine a character have sometimes been drawn from temporary and abnormal demands for labour when they were not sufficient grounds for assuming that they would continue. While it is desirable to bring into Palestine as many immigrants as it 62 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK may reasonably absorb, it is clear that in the long run Jewish interests will be best subserved by a programme pursuant to which there shall always be maintained a reasonable balance between the number of immigrants admitted and the economic needs of the country. 2. It is suggested as regards the immigration of persons without means that the existing Government regulations, while generally satisfactory, might be amended so as to enable the Jewish Agency to submit proposals for the Labour Schedule three times instead of twice a year. The present period of six months is too long for the purpose of ascertaining the needs of the labour market. 3. A more thorough selection of individual immigrants than that which has hitherto prevailed, and more in consonance with the needs of the country, should be made. 4. As regards immigrants with means, the selection of such immigrants constitutes a responsibility which should not be assumed by the Palestine Offices of the Jewish Agency. Free play must be given to private enterprise. Immigrants should be given full and detailed information with regard to conditions prevailing in Palestine. To that end, the Jewish Agency should maintain an efficient information bureau which should be in constant communication with the Palestine Government and with the principal centres from which immigrants come. 5. Immigrants with means as prescribed by the Government regulations, and who are qualified to undertake industrial and commercial enterprises should be encouraged to settle in Palestine. 6. The Palestine Offices must bear a purely economic character, working under the direct orders and instructions of the Immigration Department of the Jewish Agency and independently of local politics, it being necessarily understood that these offices are to work in cooperation with the local Jewish Organisations. 7. Repayments by immigrants of all advances made to or for them should be enforced as speedily as they are able to make such repayments. Ill.—AGRICULTURE 1. On the basis of the Experts' calculations, without allowing for the improvement of land through artificial fertilisation, and taking into account all of the cultivable land in Palestine, it would appear to be possible to sub-divide such land into 33,000 irrigated and 50,000 nonirrigated farms. Of this land, approximately 8 per cent is now in Jewish hands. 2. Until the Jewish Agency shall have in hand funds to proceed with the consolidation of all the existing colonies where such consolidation is deemed desirable, no new colonies shall be established. 3. The Commission regrets that the Palestine Government has not as yet found it practicable to take steps towards the facilitation of "close settlement of Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes," as contemplated by Article 6 of the Mandate. It takes note of the statement of the Government that the apportionment of State lands to Jewish settlers cannot take place until the cadastral survey of the country has been completed. It is believed, however, that it would be appropriate for the Jewish Agency to urge the REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 63 Government to adopt such measures as to render certain lands available for settlement even before the completion of the survey. 4. The importance of a systematic policy of afforestation throughout Palestine cannot be exaggerated. It would not only favourably influence the climate and afford protection to the water supply, but it would render it possible eventually to utilise the hill sections of the country which are not available for agriculture and thereby provide a new source of revenue. It is believed that the extension of such a policy is likewise a function of Government, and it is hoped that the Palestine Government will seriously consider this subject. 5. No progressive. colonisation of Palestine is practicable until a modification of the present system of taxation has been effected. The Commissioners are aware of the fact that the Government of Palestine have adopted as a temporary expedient a plan for the commutation of the tithe based on an average of five years' yield of the land. This, however, has been applied only to certain villages. Although this new system eliminates some of the major evils of the tithe, it will not prove satisfactory since taxation should be based not on the actual yield, but on the unimproved value of the property to be taxed. 6. It is desirable that the Government of Palestine shall stimulate the agricultural development of the country by exempting new agricultural enterprises from taxation for a period of five years, in conformity with the common practice that obtains in other parts of the world where encouragement of agricultural colonisation is sought. 7. Efforts should be made in the future to secure settlers who possess means of their own, in addition to those immigrants who, though without means, are specially qualified for agricultural settlements. (Chaluzim.) 8. It is desirable that before a colonist is settled upon land, the preparation of the holding should be carried to a point at which it is capable, by means of good husbandry, of providing him with a living from the beginning. This necessitates previous drainage of the land, provision made for water supply, in the case of irrigable land suitable irrigation works, the construction of such roads as are required for communication and connection with the nearest highways, and the preparation of the soil itself for the selected crops. This selection should be made on the basis of adequate scientific data, and the machinery and implements placed at the disposal of the colonist should be carefully adapted to actual requirements. 9. The Agricultural Colonisation Department should be re-organised and conducted by the Jewish Agency in such a manner as to secure competent business management and the application of sound economic principles in its administration. 10. In the opinion of the Experts the further establishment of communal settlements (Kvuzoth) is undesirable, but the equipment of existing settlements of this character should be completed. The Commissioners concur in this opinion. As regards new colonies initiated • uring the past year, they believe that they should not be abandoned, but that necessary means be found to proceed with their equipment, provided their reorganisation can be effected so as to convert them into individualistic co-operative settlements (Moshavim) or for use as training centres. 64 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 11. In view of past experience, unless new factors come to light, the further establishment of hill colonies should be abandoned. 12. The desirability of enabling settlers to become the actual owners of land is recognised. Under the present Articles of Association of the Jewish National Fund this seems to be precluded so far as its lands are concerned. It is recognised that there are instances where the settler will be unable to repay the entire cost of the land, because of inadequate returns. In such cases it may become necessary to continue the existing or a modified leasehold system by the Jewish National Fund. The Jewish Agency should, however, in addition to the lands now owned or hereafter acquired by the Jewish National Fund secure a land reserve free from similar restrictions. All land purchases should be preceded by thorough soil analyses and water surveys, and the price to be paid should not exceed the fair value of the land. 13. In the past more colonists have been settled in given areas than can reasonably be maintained thereon. It is important that this tendency be guarded against in future colonisation. There are existing colonies in which the holdings per family will have to be increased if the settlers are to become self-supporting. The needs of each individual colony in this respect present separate problems which should be dealt with on their merits and without delay. The problem is complicated, both in the case of existing colonies and of new colonisation, by the lack of reliable data concerning a number of material points, such as the water supply available for irrigation and the extent to which the productivity of the soil can be increased by the use of fertilisers. A hydrographic survey should, therefore, be made at an early date, and ^he practicability of artificial fertilisation should likewise be ascertained. The making of such a hydrographic survey seems to be a function of Government, because of the tremendous part which an adequate water supply plays in the future development of all Palestine. 14. Formal written contracts between the Jewish Agency and the individual settlers should be executed at once and without the intervention of any other body. In arriving at the amount which the settler is to repay, liberal allowances are to be made for the fact that the moneys advanced by the Palestine Zionist Executive, as the cost of settlement, were enhanced by causes for which the settler was not responsible. The amount to be repaid should be fixed at a sum at which the land can be profitably operated, due regard being had to the economic value of the land rather than the amount expended upon it by the Agency. The payments are to be made in instalments at times to be specified in the contract. Settlers who fail to meet these requirements are to be replaced by others who will. 1-5. The possibilities for Jewish settlement are limited by the supply of cultivable land in Palestine. It is therefore desirable that prompt investigations be made regarding the use of artificial fertilisers. This is of special importance in view of the fact that land prices have reached a very high figure. 16. The principle that outside labour of any kind shall not be employed by settlers, as now practised in the Zionist colonies, is indefensible if one has in mind the ultimate success of colonisation because, among other reasons, it results from such a system that at times when the fruits REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 65 of all the efforts expended by the colonist are at stake, he is unable to hire the necessary labour without which it will be impossible for him and his family to harvest his crop. Many of the difficulties sought to be obviated by the existing system might be met by inserting in the contract between the Colonisation Department and the settler of a clause whereby a minimal compensation is assured to hired labour. 17. The present unscientific use of water in parts of the citurs zone is already showing signs of lower water levels. In view of the importance of the citrus industry, regulations should be adopted and enforced for the proper use of water for irrigation purposes. 18. Zones for new settlement should so far as practicable be located in areas suitable for the growing of specialty export crops, with due regard to the general agricultural needs of the country. 19. The co-operative purchase of materials and supplies required by the settlers and the co-operative marketing of produce are regarded as conducive to the creation of better conditions both economic and social. Such a system must, however, be administered by an organisation or body uninfluenced by social theories. 20. The co-ordination of the activities of the various bodies engaged in agricultural research and extension work is of primary Importance in order that the planning of research activities for a number of years in advance should become practicable, and for the further purpose that a system of instruction and unification of the curriculum in agricultural schools may be brought about. The present over-lapping would thus be eliminated. To this end, a Board should be constituted, upon which should be represented: (a) The Government Department of Agriculture; (b) The Department of Agricultural Colonisation of the Jewish Agency; (c) P.I.C.A., and Mikweh Israel; id) The Hebrew University. 21. No subject is of more importance than that of the marketing of the products of the colonists. This calls for careful investigation and involves the adoption and maintenance of high standards of quality, proper attention to the problem of shipment and transportation, and the creation of an agency which will facilitate the handling and sale of such products. 22. The extension of the facilities of the Experimental Station to further the solution of practical problems in horticulture is indicated. Advantages would accrue to the Station and the Colonisation Department from maintaining close contact with the Hebrew University to accomplish this end. IV.—INDUSTRY 1. The encouragement of industry should not in any sense be regarded as a matter of subordinate importance. While it is essential that the work of agricultural colonisation should be continued and intensified, there is also room in Palestine for industrial development. Of the entire population of Palestine about sixty-five per cent lives on the land, so that taking the country as a whole, from the point of view of consump- 66 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tion it cannot be said that the urban population is disproportionately large. 2. Steps should be taken towards the establishment in London and New York of a Palestine commercial and tourist bureau. The Jewish Agency should offer its co-operation to the Government of Palestine in this matter and the support of the P.I.C.A., Chambers of Commerce. Banks and principal producers should be enlisted. 3. In Palestine, as in other new countries, it is essential that industries should enjoy some measure of protection in their infancy. The effect of the revised Customs Tariff which has recently been promulgated is to give protection to certain local industries. It is not suggested that protective duties should be levied indiscriminately. Every case should be considered on its merits in accordance with a well-considered policy. The judicious use of tariffs for the encouragement of industries having a reasonable prospect of establishing themselves on a self-supporting basis, will have a beneficial effect on the conditions of life in Palestine, and will be to the advantage of the population as a whole. 4. Bound up with the question of tariffs is that of Customs Agreements with neighbouring countries. Article 18 of the Mandate provides that:— "The Mandatory shall see that there is no discrimination in Palestine against the nationals of any State Member of the League of Nations (including companies incorporated under its laws) as compared with those of the Mandatory or of any foreign State in matters concerning taxation, commerce and navigation." The same Article states that the Administration of Palestine may:— "On the advice of the Mandatory, conclude a special Customs Agreement with any State the territory of which in 1914 was wholly included in Asiatic Turkey or Arabia." There would, therefore, appear to be nothing to prevent the Palestine Government from concluding Customs Agreements with Syria, Iraq, Hejaz and Turkey. Customs Agreements with these neighbouring countries are of special importance since they constitute the natural markets for Palestinian exports. A Customs Agreement approximating free trade between Palestine and Syria was, in fact, negotiated in 1921, but it is understood that this Agreement is not to be persisted in. If such agreements are to serve a useful purpose, it is essential that there should be no sudden changes, since new industries cannot be expected to make headway if they are exposed to the risk of abrupt alterations in the conditions under which they have been established. 5. In view of the complicated problems involved in the use of protective duties, and the importance of ensuring that tariffs shall take into consideration the interests alike of industry, revenue and the consuming public, it would seem desirable for the Palestine Government to establish a special Tariff Board charged with the duty of laying down and applying definite principles of fiscal policy. 6. The existing railway tariffs in Palestine are not sufficiently flexible, and neither favour the local manufacturer as against the importer nor encourage export trade. It is suggested that the Government of Palestine consider the feasibility of a general reduction of freight rates, and in REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 67 particular of the introduction of a special freight tariff on goods for export. 7. The co-ordination of transport facilities is assuming increasing importance, more especially in view of the harbour projects in contemplation. The establishment of a Transport Board by the Palestine Government is therefore deemed an urgent necessity. 8. The development of home industries is of substantial importance. Certain sections of the Jewish population—notably the Yemenites— are well adapted for this occupation. Such industries would not only cater for tourist traffic, but in view of the sentimental appeal of Palestine, are likely to open remunerative markets abroad. By this means a considerable number of Jewish workers in the towns could find employment outside of factories. 9. A co-ordinated effort between the Government of Palestine and the Jewish Agency should be initiated for the establishment of a bureau which would advise prospective immigrants as to the advisability of transferring their existing plants to Palestine, or establishing new industries there. Of such a bureau there should be represented:— (a) The Government of Palestine; (b) The Jewish Agency; (c) The Chambers of Commerce; (d) The Economic Board for Palestine; («) Banks; (/) Palestine Manufacturers' Association, (g) Jewish Labour Federation. 10. It is highly desirable as a source of revenue to provide adequate hotel facilities for the ever-increasing number of tourists. V. EDUCATION. 1. It is the function of the Government to furnish minimum secular education to every child whose parents demand such instruction and grants should be made by the Government to such non-Governmental schools, as comply with such minimum requirements as shall be laid down officially; the grant should be based upon the proportion of children attending school. 2. The present system whereby the grant-in-aid is paid to the Jewish Agency for further distribution is satisfactory, since it guarantees the maintenance of proper standards. The Jewish Agency will doubtless desire to supplement the Government grant. VI. PUBLIC HEALTH 1. A larger share of responsibility than hitherto with regard to Public Health should be borne by the Government. Such functions as vaccination, the suppression of epidemics, the control of contagious diseases, drainage and improvements in the quarantine service constitute direct duties of Government. 2. It is desirable that grants-in-aid be extended to private hospitals upon the basis of the number of days of free treatment provided in them. 68 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The Jewish Agency will doubtless desire to supplement these subventions in order to maintain standards regarded by them as essential. 3. The medical and health work conducted under Jewish auspices should be co-ordinated and consolidated. It is probable that Hadassah is the logical organisation to undertake this co-ordination. 4. The Kupath-Cholim (Sick Fund of the Workmen's Labour Federation) should limit its activities to the task which it had primarily set for itself, namely, workmen's insurance, sick benefits and care of convalescents, turning over to the Health Department of the Jewish Agency its other medical and health activities. It is proper that the reorganised Kupath-Cholim be maintained since it has been instrumental in teaching sound principles of self-help and self-government. 5. Every effort should be made to co-ordinate the activities of the private hospitals in Palestine in order to maintain a harmoniously working system. This may involve the formation of a Central Hospital Board and the consolidation of a number of institutions. VII. LABOUR. 1. The Commission sympathises with the aspirations of the workers to improve their social and economic condition and welcomes their realisation. 2. Whilst fully appreciating the achievements of organisations representative of the workers in the direction of agriculture, immigration, health services and cultural activities, it is believed that the acceptance of the principle that industry and agriculture must be established upon an economic basis including an equitable return on capital invested, is a necessary preliminary to the progressive increase in the standards of living which it is desired to establish. 3. The Jewish community should establish conciliation machinery in order to eliminate the losses incurred by disputes in industry and agriculture. Such conciliation machinery could be best established by the creation of a council consisting on the one side of representatives of employers in industry and agriculture, and on the other side of representatives of organisations of the workers in equal numbers. All matters in industry or agriculture tending to lead to labour disputes, and such disputes which may already occur should be referred to this council on the application of either side in the dispute, and the council should make every endeavour to effect a settlement by conciliation, provided that in its opinion the matters at issue are sufficiently important to merit consideration. The services of an impartial chairman should be availed of where required. 4. Co-operative organisations of producers and consumers, as well as organisations of the workers should be encouraged. Such organisations should be founded on sound business principles, and not according to doctrinaire theories. VIII. FINANCE. 1. In view of the lapse of time which will inevitably precede the establishment of the enlarged Jewish Agency and the introduction of the recommendations of the Joint Palestine Survey Commission, every effort REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688 69 must be made to strengthen the position of the existing Zionist funds (Keren Hayesod and Keren Kayemeth) during the period of transition, so that the constructive activities and consolidation work will not suffer. 2. The minimum annual budget beginning with the fiscal year 1929-30 will roughly be £1,000,000. This total has been reached in the following manner:— (a) New colonisation after consolidation of existing settlements—expenditure is to be made only against contracts specifying repayments in due course—not less than £250,000 (b) Consolidation of financial and co-operative institutions and to • improve shipping and marketing facilities : 100,000 (c) Additional land purchases (such purchases to be made only when land can be obtained at fair market value) 200,000 (d) Loans to newly established farmers 50,000 (Items (a), (b), (c), and (d) will be eventually recovered.) (e) Elementary education—in addition to Government grants-in-aid, university, technical, secondary and religious education 120,000 {/) Training of immigrants and assistance to labour.... 50,000 (g) Consolidation of and subventions to hospitals 100,000 (h) Administrative budget of Jewish Agency, and its funds 50,000 (t) Miscellaneous 50,000 Total £1,000,000 The above budget has been composed on the assumption that the Government will appropriate sufficient moneys to provide for objects which, in our opinion, are of governmental character, and that the Jewish Agency will exercise strict economies in collection and administration expenditure. It is not too much to expect that the United States, with the establishment of the Jewish Agency, will raise a minimum of $3,000,000 annually for five years; and that an equal amount will be raised by all other countries contributing to Palestine funds. It follows from the conclusions which the Commission have drawn, and the expert investigations, that the future and continuous development of the homeland in Palestine must primarily depend on the funds available for this purpose. The present budget of the Keren Hayesod scarcely suffices to maintain existing services and to carry out the necessary consolidation of the already acquired possession and the economic development of the schemes already in existence. It is evident that, until more funds are forthcoming, for the present no new enterprises can be undertaken. The Commissioners, however, feel very strongly that a policy which does not allow of further development and the acquisition of new terri- 70 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK tory, the founding of new colonies, and the initiation of broader schemes of great importance to the economic life of the country, must be considered entirely unsatisfactory, and one not acceptable the Jewish community as a whole for the carrying out of its duty and obligations. They consider a minimum budget of £1,000,000 a year should be aimed at. They believe that this amount can and should be raised. If there were such a budget the solution of the difficulties attending the establishment of a National Home in Palestine and its maintenance over a number of years, could be proceeded with and brought to a satisfactory conclusion. They wish, however, to emphasise the necessity for strict economy and the best utilisation of the funds to be provided, for the reorganisation of methods which they have concluded to be necessary, and the frank acceptance of the Jewish Agency on the lines which have been discussed. If these conditions are complied with, the Commissioners appeal to the entire Jewish world to make the necessary sacrifices to establish an ideal which will prove a just source of pride and satisfaction to all members of the community, and will be regarded by the world as a worthy effort on behalf of Jewry for the re-establishment of the country of their origin. The Commissioners themselves undertake to use their own personal endeavours towards the success of the appeal which they are putting forward with a confident hope of success. London, June 18th, 1928.

IFFENDI, ESKENAZY, BEHOR JUDA EFFENDI, 1 Drawing by Joseph Tepper, Palestine AHAD HA-AM Courtesy of Jewish Tribune AHAD HA-AM BY LEON SIMON Asher Ginzberg, better known by his pen-name Ahad Ha-Am, was born on the 17th of Ab, 5616 (18th of August, 1856) in the small town of Skwira, "one of the darkest corners of the Hassidic provinces of Russia," as he afterwards wrote. He came of a well-to-do Hassidic family, and was brought up in the strictest traditions of that sect. His education, which he obtained partly in the heder but mainly from private melammedim at home, was confined entirely to the Bible, the Talmud and later Rabbinic literature, in which he became so adept that while he was still a youth the neighboring Rabbis used to seek his opinion on questions of Jewish Law. In his environment, secular knowledge was taboo, and even the liking which he early showed for the works of the medieval Jewish philosophers was not easily forgiven him. But even the almost incredible obscurantism of his surroundings (intensified, no doubt, when in his twelfth year his parents moved to a tiny village) could not quench or wholly thwart his thirst for knowledge. By hook or by crook he managed in his early years to acquire some acquaintance with Russian literature, and also to read a number of the products of the young Haskalah movement. Throughout his childhood and youth he was a voracious reader, and he appears to have been completely absorbed in books: though he lived in the country, he remained as remote as any town-dweller from the appeal of the sights and sounds of nature. At the age of sixteen he was married by his parents to the daughter of an illustrious Hassidic family. He continued to live with his parents and to prosecute his studies; but the life was becoming more and more unendurable to him. Even as a boy he had become estranged from Hassidism and had become a Mithnagged. Before long his critical and rationalistic mind reached a stage at which the difference 87 88 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK between the two types of orthodoxy became of minor importance. We can only imagine what, during these years of intellectual self-emancipation, he must have suffered in the reactionary environment in which his lot was cast. H e was, however, slow to cut himself adrift. I t was not till the winter of 1882, when he was twenty-six years old, a n d had already a child of three, t h a t he resolved to go to Vienna a n d s t u d y a t the University. W h a t kept him b a c k was no d o u b t in p a r t regard for his parents, b u t in p a r t also a certain lack of confidence in himself and his own powers. This weakness stultified all his a t t e m p t s to complete his secular education. H e returned home from Vienna after a few weeks, having come to the conclusion t h a t it was beyond his power to achieve the ideal which had sent him thither. T h e same thing happened when, during the following two years, he visited Berlin, Breslau, and again Vienna on the same quest: on each occasion he returned home after a short time, thoroughly disheartened. T h u s he remained, so far as non-Jewish knowledge is concerned, a self-taught m a n . His acquaintance—and it was considerable—with the languages and literatures of Russia, England, France and G e r m a n y was gained practically with no help a t all except from books. T h a t he was so conspicuously free from the half-bakedness of the typical " a u t o d i d a c t " m u s t have been due to an extraordinary native gift for assimilating and systematising knowledge picked u p in a more or less haphazard fashion. If Ahad Ha-Am had felt o u t of t u n e with his environment before his abortive a t t e m p t s to become a university student, he could scarcely be expected to achieve a more contented frame of mind after the enforced a b a n d o n m e n t of a hope which must have buoyed him up during m a n y years of bitterness. His characteristic habit of reticence is so strong t h a t he nowhere drops more t h a n the vaguest hint of all t h a t he must have suffered during the period of his youth a n d early manhood, living in an intellectual world of his own which was entirely foreign and even hateful to all those a b o u t him, yet prevented b y his lack of selfconfidence and (it can scarcely be doubted) by filial piety from escaping into more congenial surroundings. At length, the strain became greater t h a n he could bear, a n d in 1884 AHAD HA-AM 89 he removed to Odessa. Even then he was compelled by family reasons to return to the paternal hearth after a few months; and it was only in the summer of 1886 that he was able to settle in Odessa for good and all. At this point his real life may be said to have begun. In Odessa, which was one of the great centres of Jewish intellectual life, Ahad-Ha-Am was not long in finding himself among kindred spirits. The group to which he was attracted was that which had as its central interest the newly-born movement for the restoration of Jewish national life in Palestine. No doubt news of the movement had penetrated to him even in his remote village, and he may be assumed to have come to Odessa with his mind made up, or at least ready to be made up, on the question of Hibbath Zion. At any rate, he soon became not only a "Lover of Zion," but the "Lover of Zion" par excellence—the man whose lot it was to make the ideals of Hibbath Zion the pivot of his whole life and thought, to give to those ideals their supreme literary and philosophic expression, and to win for them a far-reaching influence in the life of the Jewish people. At the outset, however, he was far from entertaining any idea of such a future. He became a member, and before long a weighty member, of the Central Committee of the Hoveve Zion; but it did not enter his mind to look for any wider sphere of influence. It was only in 1889, when he had been in Odessa for more than three years, that he consented, at the urgent solicitation of some of his friends, to write for publication an article setting forth the views with which his colleagues on the Committee had learned to associate him. The article appeared in Hd-Melitz under the title Lo zeh ha-Derech ("The Wrong Way"), and its author's identity was hidden from the general public by the pseudonym Ahad Ha-Am ("One of the people"), by adopting which he meant to indicate that he wrote just as a plain man, with no pretension to be regarded as a leader. Strangely enough, as it seems to us now, he had no idea at the time that this essay was to be but the first of many. His intention was to say what he had to say, since he had been pressed to do so, and to retire again into the background from which he had for a moment rather reluctantly emerged. 90 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK He would scarcely have imagined that to be possible if he had realized how "The Wrong Way" would strike the great body of the Hoveve Zion and their accredited spokesmen. The ideas expressed in the essay, though familiar and obvious to his profound and keenly analytical mind, seemed nothing less than revolutionary to his less reflective readers. They probably knew that the work of settling Jews on the land in Palestine was not going as well or as fast as they would have liked it to go; but they were not prepared to be told that the fault lay in the very way in which they approached their ideal, that they were in fact beginning at the wrong end, and that their first efforts ought to be directed not towards enticing as many Jews as possible into Palestine by holding out hopes of material success which were bound to prove illusory, but towards increasing and strengthening that national idealism without which any concrete achievement on a large scale and on a firm basis was impossible. The point of view was too novel to be immediately grasped; and Ahad Ha-Am, because he had emphasised the need for a spiritual change as a pre-requisite of any great material advance, was criticised as though he were for abandoning altogether the practical work of Palestinian colonisation. Against that criticism he had to defend himself by explaining his views more fully; the explanation provoked more criticism; and so he was gradually drawn, in his own despite, into the full stream of literary activity. Meanwhile, however, his first essay had gained him supporters as well as critics. Some of the clearer-sighted of the Hoveve Zion realised the necessity of making his point of view an effective force in the direction of the movement, and conceived that this might best be done by the formation of a kind of secret society, of which he should be the head, and his ideas should be the guiding principles. Ahad Ha-Am did not much like the idea of a secret society; but he allowed himself to be persuaded, and became the President of the B'ne Mosheh. This organization had as its object the general aim of the Hoveve Zion, "the re-birth of our people in the land of our ancestors;" but its conception of the way in which this aim was to be achieved differed radically from that which was expressed in the current practice of the parent body. "In the opinion of the Society" AH AD HA-AM 91 (so ran the statement of principles which Ahad Ha-Am drew up) "there is no hope of success in isolated undertakings in Palestine, carried out by individuals or by Societies, each of which is held together itself, and united with the rest, only by a cash nexus. The statement of a national end demands a national effort, uniting the best forces of the nation, both material and intellectual, in an inner moral union; it demands the effort of generations, which shall be carried out bit by bit, not haphazard, not noisily and hastily, but carefully, gradually, patiently, in proper order and according to fixed rules. This effort must gather together the scattered and downtrodden forces of our people from all sides, and go on from generation to generation, increasing in quantity, becoming stronger in quality, ever approaching its goal by small but sure steps forward." The official language of the Society was Hebrew, and familiarity with that language was a necessary qualification for membership. A high standard of character was also required; and the members were particularly enjoined to guard the good name of the Society, and to do nothing which might bring it into ill repute. The Society remained in existence for about eight years. Ahad Ha-Am held the position of President only during the first two years or so; but his was throughout the guiding spirit. Though in later years he called it "an unsuccessful experiment," there can be no doubt that the Society, with its exacting standards of character and discipline, exerted a powerful influence for good among the Hoveve Zion. Its members included practically all the Russian Jews who afterwards became prominent in Zionism; and none of them could fail to be influenced by the strong sense of responsibility and the fearless moral and intellectual honesty which were no less characteristic of Ahad Ha-Am than his intense love of Zion. In 1891, and again in 1893, Ahad Ha-Am visited Palestine on behalf of the Hoveve Zion, and after the second visit he spent a few weeks in Paris and London in the interests of the movement. On the second occasion he was anxious to settle in Palestine, and was bitterly disappointed that circumstances made this impossible. For the realization of that ideal he had to wait nearly thirty years longer. On 92 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK the whole it was as well t h a t in this m a t t e r his cautious t e m p e r a m e n t made him accept as insurmountable the obstacles, no d o u b t serious enough, which stood in his way. H e would probably have been wasted in Palestine in those early d a y s ; and outside Palestine there was much for him to do. By 1894 he had published in various Hebrew periodicals enough essays to make a good-sized volume, and this appeared early in the following year under the title Al Parashat D'rachim ("At the Parting of the W a y s " ) — t h e name indicating his general view t h a t the Jewish people had reached a crisis in its history, a t which it m u s t choose either the road of nationalism or t h a t of assimilation and absorption. This volume, which was to be followed in due course b y three more, included, among others, his first essay, Lo zeh ha-Derech; the two essays written after his visits to Palestine, which had aroused a storm of indignation through their fearless exposure of the real condition of the Palestinian settlements; an essay written on the occasion of Dr. Pinsker's death*, in which he first clearly enunciated his conception of Palestine as a "national spiritual centre, which shall be a safe refuge not for the Jews, b u t for Judaism, for the spirit of our people;" the famous "Slavery in F r e e d o m , " with its penetrating criticism of the assimilationist point of view; a series of articles on his project of a Hebrew Encyclopedia; the series collectively called " F r a g m e n t s , " each of which expounds some philosophical or psychological idea and proceeds to apply it to Jewish t h o u g h t or history; and, in singular contrast to the rest, a satire on the then prevalent type of literary batlan, which ends with the characteristic observation t h a t "wise men weigh the loss of every undertaking against the gain in the scales of their wisdom, and d o n o t move a n inch till they can foresee the e n d ; and while they are sitting deep in thought, the men of confidence 'have come and seen and conquered.' " T h e essays are all alike distinguished by clear thinking, rigoiously logical exposition, and an unsurpassed purity and lucidity of style. T h e prevailing tone is coldly objective, b u t every now a n d then there is a hint of * Ahad Ha-Am had a great admiration for Pinsker, with whom he worked for many years on the Odessa Committee, and in later life translated his Auio-Emanzipation into Hebrew. AHAD HA-AM 93 warm feeling, a flash of humor or irony, an illuminating new use of some familiar phrase charged with a long train of reminiscence for the Hebrew reader. The manner is thoroughly European, the point of view as thoroughly Hebraic. This new synthesis was the outstanding feature of Ahad Ha-Am's contribution to Hebrew literature. In 1896 Ahad Ha-Am suffered heavy business losses (through no fault of his own), and was persuaded to go to Warsaw and take charge of the Hebrew publishing company Ahiasaf. Shortly afterwards a new Hebrew monthly, Hashiloah, was founded, and he became its first editor. This necessitated his removing to Berlin for a time, but after about a year the difficulties in the way of publishing the paper in Russia were overcome, and he was able to return to Odessa. He accepted the position of editor with many misgivings. It had never been his intention to make a profession of literature. Wiiting was for him almost a holy occupation, and to make a living out of it was to run counter to the traditional Jewish dislike of making the Torah "a spade to dig withal." Moreover, the idea of becoming dependent for his livelihood on the Hebrewreading public was distasteful to his over-sensitive nature. However, he bowed, as always, to circumstances; and, having accepted the position, he threw himself into his task with magnificent energy. It was his ambition to make of Hashiloah something for which there was no precedent in modern Hebrew literature—a paper with a standard which would make it not unworthy of comparison with the great monthlies of Western Europe. His paper was to be free from the ignorance, the shallowness, the irresponsibility, the batlanuth, which had marred its predecessors. Despite his temperamental scepticism and his general freedom from illusions, he probably did not realize in advance how formidable a task he was undertaking. His own standards of taste and accuracy and style were foreign to most of those on whom he had to rely for contributions to the paper. Promises of help, glibly made, were as easily broken. Much of what was sent to him fell too far below his standard to be accepted at all; a great deal of the rest had to be drastically pruned and largely rewritten. Never perhaps in the history of journalism has the editorial blue pencil been 94 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK wielded with such ruthlessness. Naturally, this led to protests, recriminations, heated correspondence; and Ahad Ha-Am, by nature the most peace-loving of men, became in his own despite "a man of strife and contention." He was at war not only with his contributors, but also with his publishers, who thought, not without reason, that his high standards militated against the popularity and the sale of the paper. It was for him a bitter and a humiliating experience; and when, after six years, he gave up the editorship, it was with a feeling of intense relief and thankfulness, as for an escape from an intolerable bondage. But his work and his sufferings had not been in vain. During those six years of travail he had effected something like a revolution in Hebrew literature. The younger generation of Hebrew writers, many of whom (among them Bialik) owed much to his encouragement, had been largely moulded by his canons of taste and style, as well as by his ideas. Even those whose articles he corrected so remorselessly were forced to recognize that he had vastly improved them in the process. Thus he became the dominant force in Hebrew literature, and it profited immensely from his idealism, his love of moderation, his stern morality and his aesthetic sensibility. Nor was that the only direction in which, as editor of Hashiloah, he was able to influence the Jewish national movement. The paper afforded him a platform from which to attack those tendencies of the new Herzlian Zionism in which he saw a menace to the true ideals of Jewish nationalism as he conceived it. Most of the Russian Hoveve Zion were carried away by the glamour of political Zionism, and were ready to believe that diplomatic bargaining would bring them to their goal more speedily and securely than the method of gradually building up a Jewish settlement in Palestine on national lines. Ahad Ha-Am, who had been the first to point out the failure of the earlier attempts at colonisation, was fully alive to the importance of a firm political foundation, and realized how valuable the Western Jews, with their political influence and their knowledge of affairs, might be to the movement. But he realized also that political aims and activities, though they might assist, could not replace those ideals and aspirations which lay at AHAD HA-AM 95 the root of Jewish nationalism, and without which it would be an empty phrase. In the columns of Hashiloah he pointed out the fundamental differences of outlook that divided the Eastern from the Western Zionists, exposed the attempts of the latter to obscure them in a cloud of vague phrases, and called on the former to refuse to be led away by promises that in the nature of the case could never be fulfilled, and to remember that their real aim was the salvation of Judaism through the preservation of the historic continuity of the Jewish people, not the mere provision of a "home of refuge" for individual Jews. He fought the battle of Zionism against Territorialism. At first he had to fight almost single-handed; and such allies as offered themselves were not always to his liking, because they resorted to methods of personal attack which he would not countenance. But as time went on, and the grandiose hopes held out by political Zionism did not materialize, his following grew. His criticism told at length because it was not merely destructive. Over against the ideal of a Jewish State, to be created by diplomatic methods and by the almost miraculous transfer of millions of Jews from one part of the world to another, he set up his own conception of Palestine as a "spiritual centre," built up slowly by the devotion of Jews imbued with the historic culture of their people, and reacting on the scattered Jewish communities of the world as a cementing and unifying influence; and he brought this conception into organic connection with the facts of Jewish history and the basic characteristics of the Hebraic outlook. It was not that he disbelieved in a Jewish State, or did not want to see its establishment; but his sense of reality and his sense of Jewish values alike made him place the State at the end of a long period of development, instead of expecting it to be brought into being by a stroke of the diplomatic pen while the re-awakening of the national consciousness had as yet barely begun. That re-awakening—the "revival of the spirit," as he called it—must precede any large-scale national effort. Occupied as he was by his editorial work and his battle with the new Zionism, Ahad Ha-Am did not lose touch with practical developments in Palestine. In 1899-1900 he was 96 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK there for the third time, and as a result of this visit he wrote two long articles, one on "The Yishub and its Guardians," the other on "The Jaffa Schools." In the first of these he criticised severely the methods of administration of the Rothschild colonies, which he found inimical to the growth of a spirit of self-dependence among the settlers; the second was an elaborate report on the two Hebrew schools maintained by the Hoveve Zion at Jaffa. Both these essays, with others of the preceding three or four years, were included in the second volume of 'Al Parashat D'rachim, which appeared in 1903. This volume was followed in 1904 by a third, which is notable principally for the inclusion of two of the author's finest contributions to the philosophy of Judaism—"Flesh and Spirit" and "Moses." By this time Ahad Ha-Am had given up Hashiloah, and had accepted a position in the Wissotzky business. For some time his duties necessitated his travelling a great deal in Russia, and he had little leisure for writing or public affairs. The outstanding literary work of this period is "The Supremacy of Reason," his study of Maimonides published 1904, in which, dealing with the Jewish thinker with whom he had probably the strongest affinity, he displays to full advantage his power of logical analysis and lucid exposition. The following year was the year of Kishineff, and Ahad Ha-Am, driven almost to despair by the abjectness which characterised the general Jewish attitude to this outbreak of terrorism, found some satisfaction in assisting the efforts to organise self-defence. Early in 1907 Ahad Ha-Am was placed in charge of his firm's branch in London. The prospect of settling in London was not without attractions for him. He was a great admirer of the English people and its literature (he had been particularly influenced by Mill and Spencer); and he hoped that, with the British Museum at hand, he would be able to devote some time to serious study, and to carry out his cherished project of writing a book on Jewish ethics. His work as publicist he regarded as finished. The East Africa affair, and the consequent secession of the Territorialists, had brought Zionism back (in fact if not admittedly) to what he considered sounder lines; his battle had been won, so far as it could be won, and he could allow himself the AHAD HA-AM 97 luxury of a return to the study, which was for him the most congenial field of activity, but from which he had been banished so long through stress of circumstances. In fact, his settling in London was perhaps the most tragic event in his career.- It meant removal from a congenial environment to one which suited him neither physically nor spiritually; and in neither respect had he sufficient resilience to be capable, at fifty, of the necessary self-adaptation. His health had never been robust, and the strain of the last few years had told on him. In 1907 he went to Palestine to spend a few weeks on Mount Carmel for health reasons only. He found the London climate trying, and the hubbub of the City and the daily underground journeys affected his nerves. He had little leisure, and less strength, for serious study; and the Jewish life of the English capital, so different from Jewish life as he knew it in Odessa, afforded him no scope for activity. Thus he was able to contribute little either to Hebrew literature or to Zionist work. His most important activity, during the years following his removal to London, was his participation in the ill-fated attempt to found a Technical Institute at Haifa under the joint auspices of the Zionist movement and the German Hilfsverein. He was in constant correspondence with old friends in Russia and Palestine, but an occasional article in Hashiloah was all that reminded the wider public of his existence. If, however, his literary output was small during this period, it lost nothing in point of quality from his change of environment. 'Al Sh'te Hase'ippim ("Judaism and the Gospels," 1910), a profound exposition of the fundamental difference between the Jewish and the Christian outlook, displays both his analytical power and his unerring Jewish instinct in rare measure. In the Zionist field, again, this period produced one of his most notable essays in Sack Ha-kol ("Summa Summarum," 1913), which was written after a visit to the Zionist Congress (his first since 1897) and to Palestine. Both these essays, as well as the one on Maimonides, were included in the fourth and last volume of 'Al Parashat D'rachim, published in 1913. The outbreak of the great war in 1914 put an end to any hope that there might have been of Ahad Ha-Am's emerg- 98 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ing from the semi-quiescence of the preceding seven years. The apparent breakdown of civilization, the universal orgy of hypocrisy and injustice, caused him an agony of mind which was all the more intense for being veiled by his habitual reserve. The sufferings of Jews in the theatres of war, and particularly in his own Ukraine, rubbed salt into the wound. The blow was as shattering to his nerves as to his peace of mind, and his health became steadily worse. Study and writing were equally out of the question, and there was no scope for any kind of Zionist activity. Only after nearly three wretched years, with the beginning of those negotiations which led to the Balfour Declaration, was the blackness illumined by a ray of hope. Ahad Ha-Am played an important if unobtrusive part, as a trusted adviser, in the course of those negotiations, and later when the Zionist case had to be presented to the Peace Conference. He neither held nor desired any position of control, but his influence with those who were responsible for Zionist policy was considerable, and it was used always in the interests of sanity, of moderation, and of sticking to essentials. The explicit recognition by the great Powers of the "historic connection," of the Jewish people with Palestine was in his view an enormous gain, and the acceptance by Great Britain of the Mandate for Palestine was only second to it in importance; but he doubted—not, as the event has proved, without reason—whether the Jewish people was capable of rising immediately to the height of its great opportunity. In 1921, acting on medical advice no less than in accordance with his long-cherished wish, Ahad Ha-Am left England for Palestine. He chose for his home Tel Aviv, where many of his old Odessa friends had by now settled, and was provided with a house in the street bearing his own name. With that fundamental optimism which underlay his sceptical habit of mind, he hoped that in Palestine he would find health again, and would be spared the misery of spending his last years in an inactivity which was more hateful to him than death. That hope was not realized. He remained an invalid, unable to take any active part in public affairs or to continue his literary work. He wrote practically nothing, and it was as much as he could do to AHAD HA-AM 99 prepare for publication a selection from his vast correspondence of the preceding twenty-five years {Iggeroth Ahad Ha-Am, six volumes, 1923-1925), and, during his last months, to dictate some fragmentary reminiscences of his early life (published posthumously in Reshumoth, vol. 5). So, in the first Hebrew city of modern times, the great Lover of Zion faded away, surroundered by many of those who had been dearest to him in the days of his prime, but little heeded by the mass of those who were busy shaping (after their own fashion) his dream into a reality. The end came quietly, almost suddenly, on the 2nd of January, 1927 (28th of Tebeth, 5687). Next his grave in the Tel Aviv cemetery is that of Max Nordau. The two opponents of earlier days, the champion of political Zionism and the philosopher of spiritual Zionism, the brilliant cosmopolitan and the intensely patriotic Hassid, lie side by side in the soil that belongs to both by right of a common heritage and a common ideal. JEWISH POPULATION IN THE UNITED STATES, 1927 BY H. S. LINFIELD, Ph.D. Director of the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee I. THE NUMBER OF JEWS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION Late in 1927 material was collected with a view to determining the number of Jews of the United States and their distribution at that time. A wide canvas brought returns from 2,970 cities, towns, and villages, and 170 rural districts; and for places and districts which were not canvassed or which did not reply to inquiries, estimates were made. The canvas and the estimates showed that at the end of 1927 a total of 4,228,029 Jews lived in the country, comprising 3.58% of the entire population. An estimate made ten years before placed the number of Jews at 3,388,951 or 3.27% of the total. Table I below gives the total population and the number of Jews in 1927 and in 1917. As was to be expected, the canvas showed that the Jews are not evenly distributed over the country. As will be seen in table II below, the density of the Jewish population was found to be greatest in the northern states and in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, the northernmost states of the South Atlantic Division. In this large region Jews comprise 5.25% of the total population. The density of the Jews is only .65% in the southern states (exclusive of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia) and 1.66% in the western states. 101 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 102 TABLE I NUMBER OF JEWS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION BY STATE, 1917 AND 19271 1917 STATE Total Population Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware D. of C Florida Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming 2,363,939 263,788 1,766,343 3,029,032 988,320 1,265,373 215,160 369,282 916,185 2,895,841 445,176 6,234,995 2,835,492 2,224,771 1,851,870 2,394,093 1,856,954 777,340 1,373,673 3,775,973 3,094,266 2,312,44S 1,976,570 3,429,595 472,935 1,284,126 110,738 444,429 3,014,194 423,649 10,460,182 2,434,381 765,319 5,212,085 2,289,855 861,992 8,660,042 625,865 1,643,205 716,972 2,304,629 4,515,423 443,866 364,946 2,213,025 1,597,400 1,412,602 2,527,167 184,970 Total 103,640,473 Jews 1927 Per Cent 11,086 0.47 1,013 0.38 5,012 0.28 2.10 63,652 1.47 14,565 5.28 66,862 1.77 3,806 10,000 2.71 0.70 6,451 22,414 7.74 0.24 1,078 3.95 246,637 25,833 0.91 15,555 0.70 9,450 0.51 13,362 0.56 12,723 0.68 7,387 0.95 62,642 4.56 5. 189,671 63,254 2.04 31,462 1.36 3,881 0.19 80,807 2.35 2,518 0.53 13,547 1.06 0.45 503 3,257 0.73 149,476 4.96 0.20 858 1,603,923 15.33 4.915 0.20 0.19 1,492 3.19 166,361 0.23 5,186 1.13 9.767 322,406 3.72 3.27 20,502 0.29 4,816 0.18 1,262 14,034 0.61 30,839 0.86 3,737 0.84 0.61 2,221 15,403 0.69 0.57 9,117 0.36 5,129 1.13 28,581 0.27 498 3,388.951 3.27 Total Population Jews 2,549,000 12,891 459,000 1,455 1,923,000 8,850 4,433,000 123,284 1,074,000 20,321 1,636,000 91,538 243,000 5,310 540,000 16,000 1,363,000 13,402 3,171,000 23,179 534,000 1,141 7,296,000 345,980 3.150,000 27,244 2,425,000 16,404 1,328,000 7,792 2,538,000 19,533 1,934,000 16,432 793,000 8,480 1,597,000 70,871 4,242,000 225,634 4,490,000 89,462 2.686,000 43,197 1,790,618 6,420 3,510,000 80,687 714,000 1,578 14,209 1,396,000 77,407 264 455,000 2.779 3,749,000 225,306 392,000 1,052 11,423,000 1,903,890 8,252 2,897,000 641,192 2,749 6,710,000 173,976 2,397,000 7,823 13,075 890,000 9,730,000 404,979 704,000 25,003 1,845,000 6,851 696,000 1,584 2,485,000 22,532 5,397,00046.648 522,000 2,857 352,428 2.036 2,546,000 25,656 1,562,000 14,698 1,696,000 7,471 2,918,000 35,935 241,000 1,319 118.140,645 4.228,029 'The population figures for 1927 and other non-census years in this table and in all subsequent tables are the estimates of the United States Bureau of the Census, or of the writer, following the method of the Census Bureau, whenever official estimates were not available.

The first wide canvas of the Jews in the country, that made by Mr. William B. Hackenburg in 1877, , showed that in that year the Jews lived in 173 places. Thirty years later, in 1907, Miss Henrietta Szold, expanding statistics which she had collected in 1905, received reports from 684 places as having Jews. Ten years later, in 1917, Dr. Samson D. Oppenheim received reports from 724 places which were brought up in the following year to 819 places. The present writer found that in 1927, the Jewish dispersion in the country reached the figure of 6,420 cities, towns, and villages and of 3,292 rural unincorporated districts in Continental United States.1 In 1927 every city of 25,000 or over was found to have Jewish inhabitants. Of the smaller cities it was found that there were Jews in 93.9% of cities of 25,000-10,000; in 88.2% of the places of 10,000-5,000; and in 84.86% of the places of 5,000-2,500. Even of the small villages, those belonging to the class of rural incorporated places of 2,500 or less, 30.55% have Jewish inhabitants. In other words, as the table following will show, out of every one hundred urban places nearly ninety have Jewish residents; of every one hundred rural villages only thirty have Jews; while in the country districts, only seven in every one hundred have permanent Jewish residents. 'No conclusion as to the actual number of places having Jews in the previous years should be drawn from the above statement, nor should comparisons be attempted, because the methods of investigation differed from one another. In 1927, in addition to the territory canvassed, estimates were made by the use of statistical methods for all such places as the canvas did not include; hence the figures for 1927, probably represent the sum total of places having Jews in that year. This procedure does not seem to have been followed in 1877, 1907, and 1917. The figures for these years represent only those places from which reports were received without making allowances for those places which failed to reply or were not canvassed.

Thus it was found that in the large cities of 100,000 population or over, the percentage of the Jews was 11.11% of the total and that the percentage became smaller with the size of the class of place. In cities of 100,000 to 25,000 the percentage of Jews was but 3.11%. In the rural incorporated villages it was 0.48%, and in the rural districts, but 0.15%.

Now, in the cities of 25,000 or over, inasmuch as every city reported Jews, the actual density of the Jewish population equals the percentage shown. This is not the case, however, with the classes of cities of less than 25,000 in population, where not all the cities have Jewish residents. The table below shows the density of the Jews in the cities, villages and rural districts where they live.

For, the figures for the number of Jews in those areas and places are certainly minima due to the method used for their ascertainment, namely, actual counts. Since our correspondents reported only those Jewish men, women, and children that were known to them to reside in those places, the total figures reported to us were undoubtedly less than the actual figures for the areas and places under consideration. Hence, in order to arrive at a true percentage of the Jews to the total population, it was deemed proper not to correct the figures for the total population for the increase between 1920 ane 1927. Thus in the case of the rural areas and of the small urban places of 2500 to 25,000, the figures for both the total population and the Jews are minnima and the per cent of the Jews is assumed to be correct. The figures for the total population of places 25,000 or over and of the United States as a whole are always those of 1927.

SCOPE OF THE INQUIRY AND METHODS EMPLOYED THE forty-eight states of the Union are divided into 3,065 primary divisions, commonly known as counties, and these counties, with a few exceptions, are subdivided into numerous smaller units known as minor civil divisions (census of 1920).x Thus the country is divided geographically and politically. From another point of view the country may be said to consist of sections of sparsely populated territory and other sections of densely populated territory. As a rule the densely populated territory form portions of the minor civil divisions, and they go under the name of cities, villages, boroughs, etc., and are as a rule incorporated, while the sparsely populated portions of the minor civil divisions are, as a rule, not incorporated. The former are further classified in accordance with the size of the population inhabiting them: incorporated densely populated territory of 2,500 or less is known as rural incorporated places while places of 2,500 or more are known as urban places. The country is thus divided into the following manner: (Census of 1920): Rural unincorporated territory1 42,436,776 persons 12,908 rural incorporated places of 2500 population, or less 8,969,241 persons 1,321 urban places of 2500-500 4,593,953 persons 721 urban places of 5000-10000 4,997,794 persons 461 urban places of 10000-25000 6,942,742 persons 219 urban places of 25000-100000 10,340,788 persons 68 urban places of 100000 or over 27,429,326 persons In the present compilation of new estimates of the number of Jews in the country efforts have been made to determine the number of Jews and their distribution in the country as a whole, in the states and divisions,as well as in the rural districts and villages and in the urban places of the various sizes. The methods used were chiefly the following: in the case of the small communities, efforts were made to have local •The United States Bureau of the Census does not give the number of the minor civil divisions. By counting the divisions enumerated in 1920, we get the figure of 49,312: 4,747 incorporated and 44,565 unincorporated divisions, though many of the latter contain portions that are incorporated. JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 115 correspondents enumerate for us the men and the women of the Jewish faith and their children. Persons of Jewish extraction who were intermarried or were not of the Jewish faith were excluded. But answers to our inquiries were not received from every place. In fact, in the case of the rural districts and the rural incorporated places, the vast majority were not canvassed at all. To determine the number of Jews living in territories and places which were not canvassed or did not respond to inquiries, the method of sampling was used. The unknown places were grouped into classes in accordance with their size or character, and a number of places were taken at random. The sampled places were then examined with a view to eliminating possible disturbing elements. The respective samples were then canvassed with a view to determining the number of places having Jews and the number of Jews that they had. In the case of the urban places of 25,000 or over, estimates of the number of Jews were received from organizations and individuals for every place in those classes of cities. These estimates, though reliable and assumed to be carefully made, were, in each case, weighed as to their source and examined in the light of available data bearing upon the number of Jews in he respective cities. In the case of the eleven cities that have 50,000 Jews or more, for eight cities including the City of New York, estimates received were checked on the basis of the number of children that abstained from attending school on the Day of Atonement in the fall of 1927. In general these were the methods used to determine the number of Jews in the various classes of urban places and of rural places, and the estimates finally accepted were in every case conservative. 1. JEWS IN RURAL TERRITORY Of the 12,908 rural incorporated places of 2,500 or less in population in the forty-eight states (U. S. Census of 1920), figures for Jews were received from 1,068 places which reported a total of 20,141 Jews and from 170 rural districts, minor civil divisions, which yielded a total of 9,038 Jews. The other rural incorporated places and unincorporated 116 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK districts having Jews and the number of Jews that they had1 were then determined by the statistical method of sampling, and it was found that (a) of these places 24.28% of the incorporated villages have Jewish residents who comprise .307% of the total population; (b) of the unincorporated rural districts 6.78% have Jewish residents who constitute .134% of the total population of these places. By applying these percentages to the large number of rural incorporated and the rural unincorporated districts from which direct information was not received, it was concluded that (a) in addition to the number of incorporated rural places which had reported Jews, 2,875 places in the same class also had Jews to the number of 23,372; (b) in addition to the number of unincorporated rural districts which had reported Jews, 3,122 places in the same class also had Jewish residents who numbered 57,049. Adding these estimated numbers of places and of Jews to those numbers that were reported by the communities, we find that in 1927 there were permanent Jewish inhabitants in 3,943 rural incorporated villages of 2,500 or less, and in 3,292 rural unincorporated districts, and that a total of 109,600 Jews lived in rural areas of the United States.1 2. JEWS IN URBAN PLACES OF 2,500-25,000 A total of 2,503 urban places of 2,500-25,000 were enumerated in the census of 1920 and of that number 1,615 places reported to us an aggregate of 172,269 Jews, as follows: of 1,321 places of 2,500-5,000,727 places reported 26,599 Jews of 721 places of 5,000-10,000,489 places reported 36,980 Jews of 461 placesof 10,000-25,000,399places reported 108,690 Jews On the other hand, a total of 888 places either were not canvassed, or refused to report, or gave ambiguous answers which could not be used, as follows: 594 places of 2,500- 5,000 232 places of 5,000-10,000 62 places of 10,000-25,000 •See note A and Table X. •The fact of living in rural territory does not, of course, indicate the occupation of the residents. A large number of the 109,600 Jews living in rural territory are, no doubt, engaged in agricultural pursuits, but not all of them. On the other hand, there are no doubt many Jews living in urban places of 2,500 or over who engage in agricultural pursuits. JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 117 The number of these places having Jewish residents and the number of such residents were, however, estimated by a procedure similar to the one used in the case of the rural places.1 This method of computation indicated that 70.73% of these places had Jewish residents who constituted 0.304% of the population of these cities. Application of these percentages to the three classes of urban places under consideration showed: a) in addition to the number of urban places of 2,500 to 5,000 population which had reported Jewish residents upon direct canvass, 394 had such residents to the number of 5,771; b) in addition to the number of urban places of 5,00010,000 population which had reported Jewish residents, 147 cities in the same class also had such residents to the number of 4,875; c) in addition to the number of urban places of 10,000 to 25,000 population which had repotted Jews, 34 cities in the same class also had Jewish residents to the number of 3,052. Adding these estimated numbers of places and of persons of the Jewish faith to those numbers that were reported by the communities upon direct canvass we find that at the end of 1927, a total of 2,190 small towns of 2,500-25,000 had permanent Jewish residents to the number of 185,967. 3. JEWS IN URBAN PLACES OF 25,000 OR OVER Of the remaining 287 cities, those having a population in excess of 25,000 (census of 1920), reports were received from every one and were furnished by the rabbis, the heads of the chief Jewish organizations and other communal workers. The reports contained not only estimates of the number of Jews in the respective communities but also data as to congregations and other organizations, their membership and expenditures, and the number of children enrolled in the religious schools, etc. The census of 1920 enumerated 219 cities of 25,000-100,000 population, located in 39 states. These cities had a combined population of 10,340,788 in 1920, and their population in 1927, maybe estimated to have beenl2,191,173. 'See Note A p. 159. 118 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The class of cities of 100,000 or over comprised 68. These had in 1920 a total population of 27,429,326, which was estimated by the United States Bureau of the Census to have grown to 31,988,375 in 1927. Of these 68 cities Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis were reported to have about 50,000 Jews or more. The number of Jews in the remaining 57 large cities and in the 219 cities of 25,000^100,000 was determined chiefly on the basis of the local estimates, examined in the light of the number of Jews that reported Yiddish and Hebrew as their mother-tongue in the census of 1920, and in the light of the number of Jewish children enrolled in the religious schools of the respective cities. The 219 cities reported a total of 378,862 Jews and the 57 larger cities, 642,600 Jews. 4. JEWS IN ELEVEN CITIES HAVING 50,000 JEWS OR OVER The number of Jews in the eleven cities enumerated above could not be estimated in the same manner as were the numbers of the Jews in the other cities. With regard to the eleven cities the writer had before him figures of the number of children who were absent from school on the Day of Atonement of 1927, in the city of New York, Newark, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, but not Baltimore, Chicago and Los Angeles. In the cases of Cleveland and Pittsburgh we were furnished with the number of Jewish school children in each city, as determined by local social workers. Statistical data bearing on the number that reported Yiddish or Hebrew in the Census of 1920 were at hand, of course, for every city. Estimating the number of Jews on the basis of the number of Jewish children who1 abstained from attending school on the Day of Atonement and on the basis of the number enumerated in the census as persons of foreign birth 2with Yiddish as their mothertongue and their children, we found that the number of Jews of the eleven cities was approximately as follows: City of New York Baltimore Boston Chicago •See note C. p. 165. 1,765,000 68,000 90,000 325,000 'See note D. p. 167.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS The results arrived at may be summed up as follows: 68 cities of 100,000 or over have 3,553,600 Jews 219 cities of 100,000-25,000 have 378,862 Jews 461 cities of 25,000-10,000 have 111,742 Jews 721 cities of 10,000-5,000 have 41,855 Jews 1,321 cities of 5,000-2,500 have 32,370 Jews 12,908 villages of 2,500 or less have 43,513 Jews Rural unincorporated territory has 66,087 Jews Total 4,228,029 Jews Our figure 4,228,029 for the Jewish population in the country in 1927, may now be examined in the light of other methods of computation. In 1914, the late Dr. Joseph Jacobs undertook to estimate the number of Jews on the basis of foreign stock, mother-tongue, and immigration. The former two methods offer exceptional difficulties and can, besides, be relied upon only in a census year like 1910 or 1920. The method based on immigration, however, may profitably be examined. The number of Jews in 1917, was estimated as 3,388,951. The net immigration between 1917 and 1927 may be easily determined by taking the number of the immigrant Jews that were admitted to the country less the number of those that departed and those that were deported. By this method it is found that between January 1918 and December 1927, the net Jewish immigration, the excess of admissions over departures and deportations, amounted to 323,984 Jews AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 120 In 1914, Dr. Jacobs estimated that the birth-rate among Jews in the United States was 35 per thousand, and the death rate at 15 per thousand, and he assumed that the increase of births over deaths was 2% per year. His estimates of the rates of births and of deaths were probably too high; on the other hand, his assumption that the young Jewish population of the United States increased at the rate of 2% per year through the surplus of births over deaths, was probably correct for the years with which he dealt. The 3,388,000 Jews that were in the country in 1917, due chiefly to a different age grouping, probably had a smaller surplus of births over deaths. But we may still assume this rate of 2% increase for the immigrants who entered the country between 1917 and 1927. If we assume that these immigrants increased by 2% a year (1% during the year of arrival) their increase amounts to 33,073. In other words, the Jewish immigrants who entered the country during 1918-1927, plus the natural increase among them, may reasonably be assumed to have totalled 358,777 at the end of 1927.r 'This increase has been determined by taking the net immigration (admissions leas departures and deportations) of each of the ten years under consideration and adding in each case, 2% for each year between the year of entrance and the end of 1927 (1% for the year of arrival) as follows: Year Net Immigration Increase Total January-July 1918. 1,193 Increase of 1918-1927 . . 19% 226 1,419 1918-1919 2,665 Increase of 1918-1927.. 17% 453 3.118 1919-1920 13,881 Increase of 1919-1927.. 15% 2.OS2 15,963 1920-1921 118,419 Increase of 1920-1927.. 13% 15,394 133.813 1921-1922 52,480 Increase of 1921-1927.. 11% 5,772 58,252 1922-1923 49,207 Increase of 1922-1927.. 9% 4,428 53,635 1923-1924 49,616 Increase of 1923-1927.. 7% 3,473 53,089 1924-1925 9,751 Increase of 1924-1927.. 5% 487 10,238 1925-1926 9.751 Increase of 1925-1927.. 3 % 292 10.043 1926-1927 11,075 Increase of 1926-1927.. 1% 110 11,185 5,946 Increase of July-Dec, 1927 0.5% 29 5,975 32.746 356.730 July-Dec, 1 9 2 7 . . . Totals 323,984 JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 121 If we now assume that the 3,388,000 Jews who were in the country at the end of 1917, had, during the ten following years a surplus of births over deaths of 1.5% a year, their increase, compounded, would amount to 544,058. We may summarize our findings as follows: Total number of Jews in United States, end of 1917 3,388,000 Natural increase, 1918 to 1927 544,058 Net immigration of Jews, 1918 to 1927 323,984 Natural increase of same 32,746 Total number of Jews in United States based on this method of computation 4,288,788 The number thus arrived at is somewhat higher than the total obtained on the basis of the canvas made in 1927. The difference is comparatively small, and is probably owing to the estimate accepted in 1917, being too high. As a matter of fact, Dr. Oppenheim tacitly admitted this when he finally settled upon 3,300,000, instead of the total of his state estimates 3,388,000. (SEE AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 5679, p. 73.) 122 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK III. DISTRIBUTION OF THE J E W S IN THE COUNTRY, 1927 For a n u m b e r of reasons it has been found useful in the p a s t t o k n o w t h e distribution of t h e J e w s of t h e United S t a t e s b y s t a t e s a n d also their percentage of t h e t o t a l population of each s t a t e . A t t e m p t s were also m a d e to examine t h e distribution of t h e J e w s in t h e c o u n t r y b y region, and their percentage in t h e various regions or divisions. T h e present wide canvas enables us to go further than that. It is obviously important to know to what extent the Jews live in the large cities, in the small towns, and in the rural districts, and their ratio to the total population in the rural and in the urban places of the various sizes both in the country as a whole and in the divisions and states. Finally, what is the density of the Jews in those places where they live? For instance, in the class of places of 5,000-10,000, the density of the Jews is 0.95% of the total population of that class of urban place, but this figure is misleading without the additional fact that the Jews live in only 636 of the total of 721 places of that class. How thickly or sparsely settled are the Jews in those places where they actually live? 1. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION The United States is divided as follows: THE NORTH: (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) MIDDLE ATLANTIC (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) EAST NORTH CENTRAL (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin) WEST NORTH CENTRAL (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas) NEW ENGLAND THE SOUTH: (Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida) EAST SOUTH CENTRAL (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi) WEST SOUTH CENTRAL (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas) SOUTH ATLANTIC JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 123 THE WEST: MOUNTAIN (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada) PACIFIC (Washington, Oregon, and California) The majority of Jews live in cities of 25,000 or over. A geographic distribution of the Jews based on the latter's distribution in these cities would therefore not be affected by possible variation in their distribution in the smaller urban places and in the rural places. This fact together with the fact that these cities, each one, reported Jews will therefore be examined as to the geographical distribution of the Jews. The table below gives the total population and the number of Jews in the cities 25,000 and over.

Closer examination, however, shows that in the region along the Atlantic seaboard comprising the states between Maine and Delaware (including the District of Columbia), the Jews constitute 14% of the total; in the division commonly called EAST NORTH CENTRAL, 5.55%; in the WEST NORTH CENTRAL division, 4.37%; and in those regions combined 10.4%. On the other hand, in the major division of the South (less the States of Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia) the Jews form but 2.9%, and in the West, 3.71%.

In discussing the distribution of the Jews of the Country we shall, therefore, refer to the Divisions and sub-divisions employed by the United States Bureau of the Census, except that we shall add Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia to the Northern Division, and that in this division we shall combine the New England and the Middle Atlantic States (to which we are adding Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia) into one subdivision which we shall call North East. 126 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 2. D E N S I T Y O F J E W I S H P O P U L A T I O N A N D S I Z E O F P L A C E T h e density of the Jews in t h e country varies however, not only according to geographic divisions of t h e country b u t also, or better, especially according to another factor, namely the size of the place, city or town. Our canvas tends to show t h a t , in a general way, so far as cities are concerned, the density of the n u m b e r of Jews in a place increases in something approaching geometrical proportion with the increase in the n u m b e r of the total population. For example, in places of 2,500 to 5,000 population, the Jews form b u t 0 . 7 % of the total, while in places of 5,000 to 10,000 the Jews constitute . 8 3 % of t h e total, a n d in cities of 25,000 to 100,000, nearly 4 % of t h e total, a n d in cities of 100,000 or over, nearly 1 2 % . I t is, therefore, interesting to examine t h e distribution of the Jews from t h e points of view of both the geographic division a n d the size of t h e places. a. R U R A L T E R R I T O R Y : — I n t h e case of t h e rural territory, reports a n d estimates showed t h a t a t the end of 1927, a total of 109,600 Jews lived in such territory; 66,087 in rural unincorporated territory and 43,513 in rural incorporated places. As was to be expected, the density of the Jews in rural places was found to be light, only 0.21% of the total (0.15% in the unincorporated territory and 0.48% in incorporated places). The percentage of Jews to the total population in the three major divisions was found to be as follows: DENSITY OF JEWS IN RURAL TERRITORY, BY DIVISION Percentage of Jews in Rural Territory Division Unincorporated Incorporated O.IS 0.48 North 0.15 0.58 South 0.16 0.43 0.13 0.24 United States West .' JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 127 It will be seen that there is but little variation in the percentage of Jews in rural territories, as between the North and the South, but that in the West the percentage is considerably lower than in the other two Divisions, especially in the incorporated territory. This uniformity is only general, however, for upon analyzing the Division of the North we find that a few adjacent States along the Atlantic Seaboard have a much higher density than any other part of the country. This region of highest density is the rural territory surrounding the city of New York, namely, the rural territory in the states of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey where the combined Jewish population constitutes over one half of of one percent of the total rural population: 0.48% in unincorporated territory and 2.04% in incorporated areas. The greatest density in the case of the rural unincorporated territory was found to be in Connecticut and in the case of the rural incorporated territory in New Jersey. As the following table will show at a glance the Jewish distribution in rural territory varies slightly from the norm for the entire population in the North and the South, but differs considerably from the norm for the West. This conformity so far as the North is concerned is only general for the entire Division. For upon analysis we find that the region of highest density, comprising the states of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, proportionately contains nearly four times as many Jews (18.93%) as the norm for the region (5.68%). The variation from the norm is slightly greater in the incorporated rural territory than in the unincorporated rural territory.

CITIES OF 2,500 TO 25,000:—In the urban places of less than 25,000 population our reports and estimates showed that 185,967 Jews lived in such places at the end of 1927:— 32,370 in places of 2,500-5,000, 41,855 in places of 5,00010,000 and 11,742 in places of 10,000-25,000. The density of the Jews and their distribution differ little as between the two former classes where the Jews form less than 1% of the total, and in each class the region of greatest density was the region in the center of the northeast section, comprising the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. On the other hand, in the last class of small cities, namely those of 10,000-25,000, the Jews form more than 1.5% of the total population, and the region of the highest density comprises the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The density of the Jews in this class of cities as a whole is a little over one percent.

However, upon analysis, we find that in the two groups of smaller cities of this class, namely in the cities of 2,500-5,000 and 5,00010,000, the density of the Jews in the South is considerably lower than the density in the West. On the other hand, in the group of cities of 10,000-25,000, the South again gains over the West in density of Jews. 130 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 25,000 OR LESS, DISTRIBUTION OF JEWS IN CITIES Division 2,5005,000 BY DIVISION 10,00025,000 2,50010,000 5,00010,000 2,50025,000 Total Jews Total Jews Total Jews Total Jews Total Jews United States North South West 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 100. 61.06 71.79 68.96 72.97 65.17 72.46 72.34 81.01 68.19 77 60 27.65 19.15 21.26 18.09 24.33 18.55 19.76 13.90 22.40 15.75 11.29 9.06 9.78 8.94 10.50 8.99 7.90 5.09 9.41 6.65 The above table shows that in general the proportion of Jews in the North is above the norm for the total population, and below the norms in the South and the West. The variations from the norm is less in the West than in the South for the two groups of smaller cities, namely 2,500 to 5,000, and 5,000-10,000. The situation is the reverse in the case of the cities of 10,000 to 25,000. The comparatively high percentage of Jews in this class of cities in the North and the fact of their being an excess of the norm, as far as distribution is concerned, is due to the presence of a region of abnormally high density. This region in the case of the small towns of 2,500-10,000 consists of the three Middle Atlantic States, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In the case of the larger towns of 10,000 to 25,000, the States of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Ohio adjacent to the Middle Atlantic States are included. P. C.

In this region of highest density for cities of 2,500 to 10,000, the Jews constitute 1.6% JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 131 of the total population. Furthermore nearly half of all Jews living in this class of town are to be found in the three states referred to, whereas only about one-fifth of the total population in this class of towns reside in this region. In the region of highest density for towns of 10,000 to 25,000, the ratio of Jews to the entire population is close to 2.5%. Furthermore of the total number of Jews in that class of cities, nearly 70% are in this region, whereas only a little over 40% of the total population in this class of cities live in that region.

JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 133 Beginning with cities 25,000 or over, reports were received from every place and these showed that every city of that size in the country had permanent inhabitants of the Jewish faith totalling 378,862 persons and constituting 8.8% of the total. c. CITIES OF 25,000-100,000:—In the cities of 25,000 to 100,000, the Jews constitute 3.11% of the total. But the states show great variation in the density of the Jews, . ranging from 8% in New Jersey to 0.63 in South Dakota. Similarly, the divisions vary from 3.5% in the North and 2.28% in the South, to 1.47% in the West. As in the other classes of places, the states of greatest density are found in the central portion of the northeast and include Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, which have a combined density of 5.65% of the total, the state of greatest density being New Jersey with 8.06%. From the point of view of distribution, these five states have nearly two-thirds of the total number of Jews living in the class of cities, compared with a little over onethird for the total population. In the divisions as a whole, however, the distribution of the Jews varies less from that of the norm for the total population. Jews: North 81.29%; South 15.06%; West 3.65% Total: North 71.85%; South 20.47%; West 7.68% d. CITIES OF 100,000 OR OVER:—As for the large cities of 100,000 or over there live a total of 3,553,600 Jews comprising 11.11% of the total population of those cities. The divisions vary greatly, as between the North on the one hand, and the South and the West on the other. The Jews constitute 12.82% in the large cities of the North, but only 3.46% and 4.32% in those of the South and the West respectively. The distribution, however, does not vary as greatly as is often supposed. It is true that 93% of all Jews who live in large cities are found in the North, but in the case the total population, over 80% live in the same cities of the North. The distribution by divisions is as follows: Jews: North 93.16%; South 2.67%; West 4.17% Total: North 80.70%; South 8.57%; West 10.73% AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 134 In four adjacent states in the North East the Jews constitute 10% or more in each state, showing a combined percentage of 19.74% of the total. These states are Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. To this region of high density must be added another state in the East North Central division, namely Illinois, 10.47%, which, however, has only one large city, Chicago. The large cities of the four adjacent states in the North East named above contain over two-thirds of the total number of Jews in those cities, and over half (55.78%) of the total number of Jews in the country as a whole, whereas over one-third of the total population in this class of cities is found in these four states, their number constituting only a little over 10% of the entire population of the country.

SUMMARY OF DISTRIBUTION We may now summarize the facts we have gathered about the distribution of the Jews in the United States, and their density. In the country as a whole, the Jews constitute 3.58% of the total population. The density and distribution of the Jews in the country by Divisions and Sections is as follows : (a.) MAJOR DIVISIONS:—The Division called the North, embracing the New England, the Middle Atlantic (plus Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia), the East North Central and the West North Central States, have over 90% of the Jews of the country (90.39%) their number constituting over five percent of the population of the Division; the Division called the South, embracing the South Atlantic (minus Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia), the East South Central, and the West South Central States, has only 5.35% of the Jews of the country who constitute but a little over one-half of one percent of the population of the Division; while the Division called the West, embracing the Mountain and Pacific States has only 4.26% of the Jewe of the country, constituting, however, a little over one and one-half percent of the population of the Division. 136 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK TABLE XIV DISTRIBUTION OF JEWS AND THEIR DENSITY IN THE UNITED STATES BY DIVISION AND SECTION, Section and Division Total Population Jews United States 118,140,645 THE NORTHI 72,710,620 Percentage of 1927 Distribution Jews to Total Total Jews 4,227,029 3.58 100.00 100.00 3,821,045 5.25 61.54 90.39 48.77 78.04 35,464,428 2,981,826 8.41 East North Central... 24,564,000 672,597 2.74 33.78 17.60 West North Central.. 12,682,192 166,622 1.28 17.45 4.36 34,531,618 225,940 .65 29.23 5.35 .63 39.15 37.54 Northeast T H E SOUTH 2 13,518,000 84,811 East South Central.. . 9,362,618 61,376 .65 27.11 27.16 West South Central.. 11,651,000 79,753 .68 33.74 35.30 10,898,407 180,044 1.65 9.23 4.26 Mountain 4,013,047 29,987 .75 36.83 16.66 Pacific 6,885,000 150,057 2.18 63.17 83.34 South Atlantic T H E WEST (b.) THE NORTH:—In this Division, the section we have called the North East, embracing the New England and the Middle Atlantic States, with the addition of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, has 78.04% of the Jewish population of the Division, constituting 8.41% of the total (in the three Northern New England States, the Jews are much less densely settled than in the rest of this section). The East North Central (Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana) has 17.60% of the Jews of the North, forming not quite three percent of the total population; while the West North Central section (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas) has only 4.36% of the Jews of the Division, constituting a little over one per cent of the total. 'Includes Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia. ! Does not include Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 137 (c.) THE SOUTH:—In this Division the Jews are almost equally divided among the three sections; 37.54% live in the South Atlantic section (Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida); almost the same proportion (35.30%) live in the West South Central (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas); while the East South Central section (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi) has 27.16% of the Jews of the Division. The similarity among the three sections of the South is even closer in the matter of density of the Jewish population, ranging around the percent for the whole division namely 0.65%. As we have already pointed out, in the South, the distribution of the Jews closely corresponds to that of the total population. Here it is interesting to note that more than half (58.49%) of the Jews of the entire Division, live in the single state of Texas. (d.) THE WEST:—In this Division, the Pacific States (Washington, Oregon, and California) have 83.34% of the Jews of the Division, this large percentage being due to the number of Jews in California, which constitutes over 80% of the total number of Jews in this Division. The Mountain States (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico) have only 16.66% of the Jews of the Division. Here it should be noted that in the state of Colorado alone there are 18,700, Jews, more than twice as many as in the other Mountain States taken together. In Colorado the density of the Jews reaches nearly two percent, making it the region of highest density in this section. The Jews in the Pacific States constitute over 2% of the total population of the section as compared with only three-quarters of one percent in the Mountain States. 138 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK TABLE XV DISTRIBUTION OF JEWS AND THEIR DENSITY IN THE UNITED STATES BY STATE, SECTION, AND DIVISION, 1927 1 Total Population1 Jews Percentage of Jews to Total Total Jews 72,710,620 3,821,045 5.25 61.54 90.39 35,464,428 793,000 455,000 352,428 4,242,000 704,000 1,636,000 11,423,000 3,749,000 9,730,000 1,597,000 243,000 540,000 2,981,826 8,480 2,779 2,036 225,634 25,003 91,538 1,903,890 225,306 404,979 70,871 5,310 16,000 8.41 1.07 0.01 0.58 5.32 3.56 5.59 16.67 6.01 4.16 4.44 2.18 2.96 48.77 2.24 1.28 0.99 11.96 1.99 4.61 32.21 10.57 27.44 4.50 0.69 1.52 78.09 0.28 0.09 0.07 7.57 0.84 3.07 63.85 7.56 13.58 2.37 0.18 0.54 100.00 100.00 24,564,000 6,710,000 4,490,000 2,918,000 7,296,000 3,150,000 672,597 173,976 89,462 35,935 345,980 27,244 2.74 2.59 1.99 1.23 4.74 .86 33.78 27.32 18.28 11.88 29.70 12.82 17.60 25.85 13.30 5.35 51.45 4.05 100.00 100.00 12,682,192 2,686,000 2,425,000 3,510,000 641,192 696,000 1,396,000 1,328,000 166,622 43,197 16,404 80,687 2,749 1.584 14,209 7,792 1.28 1.61 0.68 2.3 0.43 0.23 1.02 0.59 17.45 21.18 19.12 27.68 5.05 5.49 11.01 10.47 4.36 25.92 9.85 48.42 1.65 0.95 8.53 4.68 100.00 100.00 The South 34,531,618 225,940 0.65 • 29.23 5.35 SOUTH ATLANTIC 13,518,000 2,546,000 1,696,000 2.897,000 1,845,000 3,171,000 1,363,000 84.811 25,656 7,471 8.252 6,851 23,179 13,402 0.63 1.01 0.44 0.28 0.37 0.73 0.98 39.15 18.83 12.55 21.43 13.65 23.46 10.08 37.54' 30.25 8.81 9.72 8.08 27.34 15.80 100.00 100.00 9,362,618 2,538,000 2,485,000 2,549,000 1,790,618 61,376 19,533 22,532 12,891 6,420 0.65 0.77 0.91 0.50 0.36 27.11 27.11 26.54 27.22 19.13 27.16 31.82 36.72 21.00 10.46 100.00 100.00 State, Section and Division The North NORTHEAST Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Maryland Delaware District of Columbia..

SPECIFIC DENSITY OF THE J E W S IN THE U N I T E D STATES The paragraphs that precede give the percentage that the Jews form of the total population. While there are Jews in all cities of 25,000 population and over, Jews do not live in all rural places or in all urban places of less than that size. Hence, the density of 1.61%, for example, assigned to towns of 10,000-25,000 means that the total number of Jews in cities of that class is 1.61% of the total population of all the cities in the group. We may call this the general density of the Jewish population of a particular group of places. If, however, we consider only those places in which there are Jews, we shall of course find that their specific density is much greater. We shall now examine our data with a view to determining this specific density in rural places and in cities of 25,000 population and less. Our canvas shows that the proportion of such places having no Jews varies with the size of such places, and that generally speaking, this proportion increases as the size of the place decreases. Even of the small towns a comparatively large proportion have Jews, but the percentage shows a sharp decline when we reach rural territory. As will be seen from the accompanying table, the specific density of the Jews is highest in the cities of 25,000 or over, where Jews constitute 8.8% of the total population. Next come the rural places, where the percentage is 1.58%. Finally, come the urban places of 25,000 or less, where the specific density for that group of towns is 1.28%. In the rural territory, it is the UNINCORPORATED places that show the higher specific density (1.74%). Within the class of the urban places of 25,000 or less, the specific density of the Jews tends to decrease with the size of the place, it being 1.82% in towns of 25,000-10,000; 9 5 % in towns of 10,0005,000, and 0.82% in towns of 5,000-2,500. The above results were readily arrived at in the case of cities of 25,000 and over, since every such place reported Jews. In the case of rural territory and of places 25,000 or less, since our figures for both the number of places and the number of Jews were estimated partly through reports and partly through the statistical method of sampling, it was JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 141 necessary to determine the number of places having Jews and the number of Jews in each class, namely, (1) those that reported and (2) those that were estimated. The density of the Jews in the former was readily determined as follows: TABLE XVI DENSITY OF JEWS IN PLACES REPORTING JEWISH RESIDENTS Class of Place Places Reporting Jews RURAL TERRITORY Unincorporated Incorporated Villages of 2,500 or Less URBAN PLACES Total Population of These Places Number of Jews Reported 12272 Per Cent Jews to Total 170 412,641 9,038 2.19 1,068 1,329,001 20,141 1.51 2,500-5,000 727 2,629,125 26,599 1.01 5,000-10,000 489 3,461,978 36,986 1.06 10,000- 25,000 399 6,028,991 108,690 1.80 25,000-100,000 219 12,191,173 378,862 3.11 100,000 or Over 68 31,988,375 3,553,600 11.11 We have no right to assume that the Jews constitute the same percentage of the total population in towns from which reports were not received, but which were estimated to have Jews. For, the former class includes the thickly settled Jewish communities which were known to us, were canvassed, and furnished reports. We may, however, determine the percentage of the total estimated number of Jews to the total population in the latter class of places1 and, by taking the percentage of the total Jews to the total population of both the places that reported and the places that were estimated, determine the specific density of the Jews in all places in which Jews live. •See Note A. 2 See notes on pp. 105, 106. 142 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 1. S P E C I F I C D E N S I T Y O F J E W S I N R U R A L T E R R I T O R Y As the following table shows, only 7.39% of rural unincorporated places have Jews, T h e region in which such places are proportionately most numerous embraces the states of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, where the proportion of places having Jews exceeds 10%. It is also interesting to note t h a t the states constituting the geographic division called South, have the largest proportion of such places, more than twice as m a n y as the N o r t h , and almost half again as m a n y as the West. T h e difference in the distribution of rural unincorporated places, as between those which have Jews and the total number, is somewhat pronounced in the North and the South. In the rural incorporated places, almost one-third (30.55%) of them have Jews as residents, and in the region of highest density in this respect, again the States of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, over 4 0 % of the rural incorporated places have Jews as residents. T h e South again has the largest proportion of this type of place, although the Divisions do not show the disparity exhibited by the unincorporated rural places.

JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 143 As was stated above our canvas shows that the specific density of Jews in the rural territory where they live is a little higher than that in the small urban places. In the region of highest density it reaches nearly 3>^% of the total population and this region contains almost one-fifth (18.94%) of the total number of Jews in rural territory compared with nearly six percent for the total population. Considering the unincorporated territory and the incorporated territory in the region of highest density separately, we find that in the former the Jews constitute nearly three percent (2.91%) of the total in this region, and in the latter almost four and a half percent. Further, of all the Jews living in unincorporated territory, 15% live in this region, while of the total number of Jews living in incorporated villages, this region contains nearly one-fourth. The variation from the distribution of the total population is very great. But also outside of this region the percentage of the Jews to the total is over 1% in the places where the Jews live, except the villages of the West where it is less than 1%. The major divisions show variation in the case of the percentage of the Jews to the total, due largely to the presence of the region of highest density. As for distribution, that of the Jews varies from that of the total, especially in the West, both in the unincorporated territory and in incorporated territory.

SPECIFIC D E N S I T Y IN URBAN PLACES OF 25,000 OR L E S S The difference in the proportion of places having Jewish residents, as between rural regions and cities is very great. We have seen that 7.39% of unincorporated and 30.55% of incorporated rural places have Jewish residents. But of cities of 25,000 population or less, fully 85 out of every 100 have Jewish residents. The region of highest density in this class of towns, as a whole, embraces the Middle Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, though in the case of those of 25,000 to 10,000 the region is larger, comprising in addition the adjacent states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ohio. The percentage of places having Jews does not differ materially as between the divisions nor in the region of highest density, and the distribution of places having Jews closely approaches the distribution of the whole class of towns among the Divisions. When, however, we analyze our figures as to the number of Jews residing in these cities, we find great variations. Taken as whole the specific density of the Jews in the large class of urban places of 25,000 or less is a little less than that in the rural territory, namely, 1.28% of the total. In the region of highest density, namely, the Middle Atlantic States, the specific density of the Jews is over 2 % , and the distribution of the Jews differs radically from that of the total population. The Divisions show variation, the density of the Jews being higher in the North than in the South or the West. This important class of urban places, however, should be divided from the point of view of the specific density of the Jews, into two classes: 25,000 to 10,000 and 10,000 to 2,500. In the former class the region of highest density comprises the Middle Atlantic States, (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania), and the three adjacent states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Ohio. In this region the Jews form over JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 145 2.5% of the total, and it contains nearly 65% of the total number of Jews, living in such places compared with 42% for the total population. The density of the Jews in such places in the country as a whole is 1.82%; the division of the North differs greatly from the others; and the distribution among the Divisions varies from that of the total population. In the class of towns 10,000-2,500, the percentage that the Jews form of the total is less than 1%, but in the Middle Atlantic States the density reached 1.8%, and this region contains 45% of the total number of Jews living in these small urban places, compared with 22% for the total population. The major divisions vary, the lowest being the division of the South. On the other hand, the distribution of the Jews does not differ materially from that of the total population. Within this class of towns, the urban places of 10,000 to 5,000 differs little from that of the places of 5,000 to 2,500 class.

Inasmuch as the canvasses of the Jews made ten and twenty years ago and also previously did not lend themselves to an examination of the distribution of the Jews and their densities at those years, it is not possible to make comparisons or to trace the movement of the Jews from the ports of their entry to the interior and from the large places to the small places, or to indicate the pace of their spread over the country. But the striking lightness of the density of the Jews in the rural places and especially in the small towns of 25,000 or less would indicate that their spread to these places is recent. In the case of rural territory, the chief source of the dispersion seems to be the City of New York, from which place the Jews are spreading to the rural territory in the states roundabout,—New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. In the case of the small urban places, the chief sources of origin include also Philadelphia (perhaps also Pittsburgh) and to a smaller degree the city of Boston, from which centers the Jews are spreading to the states near the former three cities, namely, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This process is evidently more advanced as far as the penetration to places is concerned, than the advance in the matter of density. The density of the Jews in the small towns is especially light in the West and in the South. The tables that follow give in detail the data upon which are based the summary tables which precede1. •See Note A. JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 351, CN" OCM 1/}O O CN f~.

GROWTH OF THE JEWS IN THE UNITED STATES Decennial estimates are available of the number of Jews in the country beginning with 1897. Previous to that date, a careful estimate was made as of 1877. A number of other estimates are available, the earliest being one made in 1818 ESTIMATES OF TNE NUMBER OF JEWS, 1818-1927 Year of Estimate 181811 1826 184011 1848 1877 18881 1897 1905 1907 1910 1914 1917 1920 1927 Jews Authority Isaac Harby The American Almanac M.

The estimates previous to those of 1877 and 1888 were made on bases so different from those of later years that no comparisons between the two groups of estimates are possible. Of the one made in 1897 by Mr. David Sulzberger, the latter wrote: "This estimate is, I believe, conservative. It is not capriciously made yet is put forward tentatively as material for criticism and discussion." The estimate was made "upon the basis of earlier computations and with the aid of persons in various parts of the country." Greater finality was claimed for the remaining estimates. But, owing to differences in their scope and the methods employed in gathering the data, even these can scarcely be compared with the estimate for 1927. Certainly no conclusions should be drawn as to the rate of growth of the Jewish population on the basis of these estimates. The data in the tables below, though they permit of the making of a comparison between the figures of the total and that of the Jews, should, therefore, be regarded only as a summary of the estimates. The only conclusion that we AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 158 may draw from the data of the table below is that during 1877-1927, there has been a continuous rise in the percentage of the Jews to the total population of the country, i. e. the Jews" have been growing a little faster than the tota population, and that this growth is slowing down.

The table below would indicate that the rate of the growth of the Jews has varied in the major divisions of the countr. In the North the Jews have increased from 0.57% of the total population in 1877 to 5.25% in 1927. On the other hand, in the South and especially in the West the gain in the percentage has been insignificant, from 0.27% in 1877 to 0.65% in 1927 in the South and from 1.6% in 1877 to 1.66% in 1927 in the West. As for the distribution of the Jews as compared with the distribution of the total population during the past half century, we note that the percentage of distribution of the Jews in the North has gained continually at the expense of the South and the West up to 1917. Thus, in 1877, 76.36% of the total number of Jews lived in the North, compared with 14.27% and 9.37% in the South and in the West respectively. But in 1917 the North contained 92.25% of the total number of Jews in the country, the South 4.59%, and the West 3.16%. Since the estimate of 1917, it appears, however, that the North has JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 159 been losing to the South and to the West (of the total population in 1927, 90.39% lived in the North and 5.35% and 4.26% in the South and West respectively). The distribution of the Jews, thus, shows the same trend as does the total population: during the past fifty years the percentage of distribution of the total population has been decreasing in the North (from 69.69% in 1877 to 61.54% in 1927) and increasing in the South and West (from 27.24% in 1877 to 29.23% in 1927 in the South; from 3.07% in 1877 to 9.23% in 1927 in the West).

ON METHOD OF ESTIMATING NUMBER OF JEWS IN PLACES WHICH DID NOT REPORT The method of sampling was applied in the following manner: At a certain stage of the inquiry the rural incorporated villages which had not responded were arranged in alphabetical order by states; each twentieth was then selected for special convassing. To avoid possible error, every place that was found to be located in the so-called metropolitan districts of, or in the territory adjacent to large cities was eliminated. A total of 571 places having a combined population of 363,188 (census of 1920) then remained for special canvassing, as a sample of the 11,840 places from which no information as to the number of Jews in them had yet been received. A similar procedure was followed in the case of the unincorporated rural districts except that in the latter case every one hundredth of the minor civil divisions, alphabetically arranged by state, county, and division, was set aside for canvassing. Of the list thus obtained the following were eliminated: every minor civil division which was wholly incorporated territory or which included incorporated territory the population of which was not specified, and every part of a minor civil division which was incorporated. A total of 403 minor civil divisions with a combined population of 390,013 were thus set aside for special canvassing in the belief that they represented a true sample of the 44,397 places of this class from which no information as to the number of Jews in them had yet been received. Similar was the procedure in the case of the small urban places of 2,500-5,000, except that every fifth was set aside for special canvassing. A total of 132 places with a combined population of 438,131 were thus set aside for canvassing. Of the 571 rural incorporated places having a combined population of 363,188, a total of 490 having a combined population of 319,584 responded, and of these 119 reported having 984 Jews; of the 132 urban places of 2,500-5,000, a total of 82 having a combined population ei 265,391 responded and of these 58 places reported having 807 Jews; but of the 403 unincorporated minor civil divisions, 226 with a combined rural population of 195,734 responded and of these but 23 reported having 330 Jews. An examination of the places which did not answer in the case of the two former samples did not convince the writer that the relative results would have been affected had those places answered. The places that did not respond were, therefore, disregarded. This procedure was not followed in the case of the unincorporated districts. In order to arrive at a conservative estimate, the unresponsive districts were divided into two classes: those having less than 1,000 residents and those having more than that number. The places of the latter class were disregarded on the supposition that had they answered the relative results would not have been affected; on the other hand, all the JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 161 places of the former class numbering 113, and having a combined population of 50,861 were included and were counted as if they had reported no Jews. The findings were then examined from the point of view of the major divisions of the country, namely North, South, and West as well as for the country as a whole, and the examination yielded the following results: SAMPLE A.—INCORPORATED RURAL PLACES Divisions United States Number of Places Canvassed Total Population Places Reporting Jews Number of Jews Reported Per Cent of Places Having Jews Per Cent of Jews Among Uncanvassed Population 490 319,584 119 984 24.28 North South West 313 194,436 74 646 23.7 135 94,085 35 219 26. 42 31,053 10 47 24. 0.307 .31 .33 .15 SAMPLE B.—UNINCORPORATED RURAL PLACES Number of Places Canvassed Total Population Places Reporting Jews Number of Jews Reported Per Cent of Places Having Jews Per Cent of Jews Among Uncanvassed Population 339 246,595 23 330 188 115,527 9 128 6.78 4.78 0.134 0.11 SAMPLE C—URBAN PLACES OF Number of Places Canvassed Total Population Places Reporting Jews Number of Jews Reported Per Cent of Places Having Jews..

For example: in order to determine the number of places having Jews among the uncanvassed rural places in Illinois, 23.7%, which is the percentage of the North, was taken from the total number of uncanvassed places in the state of Illinois and the result accepted as the number of places having Jews among those. Similar was the procedure in the case of the number of Jews among the population of the uncanvassed places. The figures attained for the states of a division, both for places and for the number of Jews, were then added, and the sum totals accepted as number of places and of Jews for that division, as follows: 162 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK RURAL UNINCORPORATED DISTRICTS North 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

For the same reason the numbers of Jews are also minima. Similar is the case with regard to the United States as a whole, both as to number of places estimated to have Jews, and the density of the Jews therein. JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 163 The urban places of 5,000 to 25,000 which did not respond to our direct canvass were comparatively so few that no sample could be taken from that class of places. Inasmuch as the places of this class of cities which did not respond have few Jews, we deemed it correct to apply the results of the sample for places of 2,500 to 5,000 to the places of 5,000-25,000.

ON METHOD OF DETERMINING THE SPECIFIC DENSITY OF JEWS IN PLACES WHICH DID NOT REPORT JEWS The density of the Jews in places estimated to have Jews was computed in the following way: Since the number of all the uncanvassed places and the combined population thereof are known, the average size of the uncanvassed places may be determined. Multiplying then the number of places estimated to have Jews, previously determined, by the number of the average size of the uncanvassed places, we arrive at the total population of such of these places estimated to have Jewish residents. The density of the Jews in such places is then found by computing the percentage of the estimated number of Jews to the estimated total population. These computations, applied to the Divisions, yielded the following results: RURAL UNINCORPORATED PLACES North South 22,599 12,890 Number of Uncanvassed Places 18,348,379 20,351,746 Population of Uncanvassed Places 812 1,580 Average Size 1,071 1,410 Number of Places Estimated to Have Jews.. . 869,652 2,227,800 Population in Estimated Places 20,173 32,557 Number of Jews in Estimated Places 2.32 1.46 Per Cent of Jews RURAL INCORPORATED PLACES Number of Uncanvassed Places 7,159 3,601 4,613.908 2,267,040 Population of Uncanvassed Places 627 644 Average Size 929 1,690 Number of Places Estimated to Have Jews.. . 1,088,360 584,341 Population of Estimated Places Number of Jews in Estimated Places 15,217 7,021 1.40 1.20 Per Cent of Jews West 8,906 3,324,010 373 641 239,093 3,319 1.39 1,080 759,292 703 256 179.968 1.134 0.63 500-5,000 Number of Uncanvassed Places , ..

The figures this method yielded did not tally with those we would have obtained had we applied to the United States as a whole the method followed in the case of the divisions (See footnote on p. 162). NOTE C. ON METHOD OF COMPUTING POPULATION ON BASIS OF NUMBER OF SCHOOL CHILDREN The method of computing the number of Jews on the basis of the number of Jewish school children involved the following: In addition to the population of given city as of 1927, the number of children enrolled in the elementary public schools and junior high schools (but not kindergartens) of an average day was determined. To the latter figure were added the enrollment in the Catholic elementary schools and junior high schools, and in the case of New York, the enrollment in the Jewish parochial schools. By adding the latter the ratio of the number of children in the public schools to the population of the given city was established in terms of a coefficient. The number of Jewish children was then determined in the following way: by examining the enrollment and the attendance on an average school day, the percentage of normal absentees in the elementary public school was determined. This figure was then deducted from the enrollment on the. Day of Atonement, and the resulting figure showing the undue absence of children on that day was considered as representing the number of Jewish children in the elementary public schools. By multiplying the figure for the Jewish children in the public elementary schools (in the case of New York also those enrolled in the Jewish parochial schools) by the coefficient for the given city, the number of Jews in that city was determined. (For criticism of this method see below.) Below are given the statistical data for eight cities. October 6th represents the Day of Atonement in the fall of 1927 and October 4th the average school day (in the case of Philadelphia, October 1st). In the case of St. Louis, the figures for 1927 could not be used because of the tornado that struck that city about that time and the figure given is that of 1925, September 28th representing the Day of Atonement and September 30th, the average school day. In the case of Pittsburgh, the figures are those of 1926, and in the case of Cleveland, for 1925.

ON METHOD OF COMPUTING JEWISH POPULATION ON BASIS OF MOTHER-TONGUE STATISTICS The method employed to estimate the number of Jews on the basis of mother-tongue involved the following: In the census of 1920 as well as in the census of 1910, the census enumerators collected data on the mother-tongue of the foreign-born persons, and summaries were then prepared of the number of such persons and the number of their nativeborn children, by state and city. In 1910, a total of 1,051,768 foreignborn persons were enumerated as reporting their mother-tongue to have been Yiddish and Hebrew, and these had 612,371 children. In 1920, a total of 1,091,820 foreign-born persons reported Yiddish and Hebrew as their mother-tongue and those had 951,793 native-born children. The difference in the number of foreign-born who reported Yiddish and' Hebrew as their mother-tongue between 1910-1920 was only 40,052,' but during 1910 and 1920 there entered the country a total of 460,000 Jews, the vast maiority of whom would ordinarily report Yiddish and Hebrew as their mother-tongue. It is therefore evident that numerous foreign-born persons with Yiddish as their mother-tongue were erroneously reported as of some other mother-tongue. Now in 1910 a total of only 57,000 foreign-born persons reported Russian as their mother-tongue and these had in that year 33,415 native-born children. Ten years later 392,049 foreign-born persons* reported Russian as their mother-tongue with 303,900 native-born children. It is obvious that the small immigration of Russians during the ten years cannot account for the enormous increase of 334,123 foreign-born persons with 306,485 native-born children. The statisticians of the United States Bureau of the Census, therefore,rightly concluded that the number 731,949, reported as of Russian mothertongue "probably includes a considerable proportion of Hebrews erroneously reported as of Russian mother-tongue." It is possible, however, to go further than this general statement, for we know that the various people of Slavic and Lettic mother-tongues, other than Russian, numbered 3,103,306 in 1910 and 4,538,632 in 1920, an increase of 1,435,326 or 46.25%. Assuming that the persons of Russian mothertongue increased in the same proportion, such persons numbered 132,232 in 1920. The figure of 731,949 reported in 1920 thus includes 599,717 foreigners and their children of a mother-tongue or mothertongues other than, but erroneously reported as Russian. Inasmuch as the figure given for foreigners and their children with Yiddish and Hebrew as their mother-tongue is probably too low by 550,000 from the point of view of the number of immigrants that entered the country between 1910 and 1920 and their native-born children (even after allowing for a decrease by death of, say, 8 per 1,000) we may assume that at least 75% of the 731,949 persons reported as of Russian mothertongue were "Hebrews erroneously reported as of Russian mothertongue." On this basis the actual number of persons of Yiddish or Hebrew mother-tongue in 1920 probably was 2,592,575, made up of the 2,043,613 who reported Yiddish or Hebrew and 548,962 or 75% of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 168 731,949 erroneously reported as of Russian mother-tongue.1 Hence to determine the number of foreigners in 1920 of Yiddish mother-tongue and their progeny in a given city, it is necessary, other circumstances permitting, to add 75% of the number reporting Russian to the number reporting Yiddish as mother-tongue. Thus, the actual number of persons of Yiddish mother-tongue and their children in the city of New York in 1920 may be determined as follows: Number of persons reporting Yiddish 946,139 75% of 221,153 reported as Russian by error 166,865 Corrected number of persons of Yiddish mother-tongue 1,113,004 It is evident that if we can determine the ratio which the number of persons reported as of Yiddish mother-tongue and their children bears to the number of Jews who are native-born of native parentage, or foreign born of mother-tongues other than Yiddish, it would be possible to estimate the total number of Jewish people of a given place. Now, estimates based on a method other than mother-tongue or school children, prepared by Dr. Laidlaw, gave the total number of Jews in the city-of New York as 1,643,002 in 1920. The corrected figure for Jews with Yiddish as their mother-tongue and their progeny was 1,113,004 or 67.74% of the total. This ratio, however, cannot be accepted for the other largest cities, for an examination of data for these cities indicates that this percentage was too low for the other cities in the East and too high for cities in the West. It was, therefore, proposed that in 1920 the foreign-born Jews of Yiddish mother-tongue and their native-born children be assumed to have constituted 60% of the total number of Jews in the cities of the Middle West and the West, 'To show how this erroneous reporting of mother-tongues affected the eleven cities under consideration, we append hereto the following table: City Detroit Los Angeles Newark Philadelphia Pittsburgh St. Louis Persons Reported as of Yiddish mother-tongue 1910 1920 26,943 56,864 110,089 7,568 9,986 5,681 857,700 33,787 119,560 20,655 18,606 39,333 60,042 159,518 6,898 34,727 10,540 946,139 39,863 143,514 22,752 20,420 Persons Reported as of Russian mother-tongue 1910 1920 1,620 607 2,782 351 583 329 27,155 590 4,207 1,405 483 8,665 12,571 28,199 2,841 13,414 8,812 221,153 8,865 42,826 7,286 6,335 JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 169 and 75% in the cities of the East other than the City of New York. On this basis, estimates of the Jewish population of the ten cities on the basis of the mother-tongue statistics, have been worked out as follows: CITIES OF THE EAST Newark, N. J. Boston, Mass.

St. Louis, Mo. If we assume that the percentage of foreign-born Jews of Yiddish mother-tongue and their children to the total number of Jews in the city of Baltimore is the same as in the majority of the large cities of the East namely Boston, Newark, and Philadelphia, while in the case of Chicago and Los Angeles it is similar to the other cities in the West namely Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and St. Louis, we have the following: 170 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Baltimore Md.

The number of Jews on the basis of mother-tongue in the city of Detroit is thus 80,070 Jews as follows: Number of persons reporting Yiddish 34,727 Number erroneously reported as of Russian mother-tongue 10,061 Corrected total of Yiddish speaking 44,788 Total number of Jews in 1920 59,717 Total number of Jews in 1927 80,070 NOTE E. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF THE TWO PRECEDING METHODS In the case of the city of New York the estimate arrived at on the basis of school children in the fall of 1927 which was 1,765,982 may now be compared with two other figures. As has been stated above, in 1920 Dr. Laidlaw, using a method other than those used here, estimated the Jewish population at 1,643,012. Assuming that the increase of the Jewish population equalled the increase of the total population during the seven years following, the number of Jews in 1927, on the basis of Dr. Laidlaw's 1920 estimate, would be 1,745,264. Again, the Bureau of Jewish Social Research on the basis of a study of Jewish deaths in a number of districts in New York, estimated that in 1925 the Jewish population was 1,713,000, which would give a Jewish population in 1927 of 1,741,085 Jews. It will be seen that the figures arrived at on the basis of Dr. Laidlaw's estimate and on the basis of the estimate of the Bureau of Jewish Social Research so closely approach our estimate of 1,765,982, as to give us the right to assert that the Jewish population of New York City, at the end of 1927 was close to 1,765,000. JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927 171 In the case of the three cities for which we used only one method, namely, that based on the mother-tongue statistics, the figures of 68,140 for Baltimore and 64,480 for Los Angeles probably approach the true figures for the respective cities. On the other hand, the figures of 345,651 for the city of Chicago may be a little too high because our estimate that its Jews of foreignbirth of Yiddish mother-tongue constituted 60% of the total number of Jews was probably a little too low. We have therefore estimated the number of Jews in Chicago as 325,000 in 1927. In the case of the remaining seven cities, the figures arrived at on the basis of mother-tongue statistics closely approach the figures arrived at on the basis of the number of school children. The latter method is to be preferred except in the case of Boston where it gives 84,324 while the former method give 98,185. It is, of course, conceivable, that between 1920 and 1927 the ratio of increase among the Jews in Boston was less than the increase of the non-Jews of the city of Boston, but that would not decrease our figure materially inasmuch as the increase of the city of Boston during the seven years was but by 45,000 persons. Now in 1920 over 60,000 foreign-born persons and their children actually reported Yiddish as their mother-tongue and over 9,000 "Hebrews" were probably erroneously reported as of Russian mother-tongue. The foreign-born Jews of Yiddish mother-tongue with their children could hardly constitute more than 80% of the total number of Jews in that city. Hence, the Jewish population of the city of Boston cannot be estimated as less than 90,000 in 1927. The number of Jews in each of the remaining six cities may be fixed as follows: On basis of school children Cleveland. . Detroit Newark.... Pittsburgh 1 . Philadelphia St. Louis 86,439 76,376 65,806 55,635 277,263 51,023 On basis of mothertongue 84,371 80.070 69,818 53,106 261,409 45,484 Figure adopted 85.000 76,000 65,000 53,000 270,000 50,000 Our chief method, namely that of determining the number of Jews on the basis of the number of school children absent on the Day of Atonement suffers chiefly from three possibilities of error: The undue absence on the Day of Atonement includes a percentage of non-Jewish children who abstain from attending school because they know that Jewish children would be absent. 'The number of Jewish children in the city of Pittsburgh, was determined on a different basis from that in other cities. The lower figure is, therefore, adopted. 172 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The ratio of Jewish children to the total number of Jews is probably larger than the ratio of the whole number of children to the total population. These errors would have a tendency to render too large the estimate of the number of Jews arrived at on the basis of this method. On the other hand, it is undoubtedly incorrect to assume that fully 100% of the Jewish children in the large cities are recorded as absent on the day in question. A certain percentage are undoubtedly recorded as "present." From this point of view, the number of Jews arrived at would be too small. Is it not possible that the errors neutralized one another or nearly did so in the fall of 1927? The fact that the figures for the cities arrived at on the basis of the number of children correspond closely to those arrived at on the basis of mother-tongue statistics leads the writer to believe that the method used for the group of cities as a whole is correct, and the figures arrived at approach the true number of the Jews in these cities. GENERAL TABLES The general tables that follow deal with the number of places, total population, number of places that have Jews, and the number of Jews in them. In the case of the Jews, the year of estimate is 1927, as is also the case with the total population by state and of cities 25,000 or over. In all other cases the figures are for the census year of 1920. The figures for numbers of places are always those of the census year of 19201. LIST OF GENERAL TABLES A. B. C. D. E. F.

S. LINFIELD, PH. D. Director of the Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee Late in 1927 a canvass was made of Jewish congregations in the country as a part of the United States Census of Religious Bodies. Below are given data for the Jewish congregations, by State. All figures are preliminary and subject to correction. The canvass of the Jewish congregations shows that there are 2,948 permanent congregations in the country: 2,855 congregations are located in urban places (incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more) and 93 congregations, in rural areas. The urban places and the rural areas in which the 2,948 congregations are located, reported a combined number of 4,087,357 Jewish men, women, and children. In another place (see pp. ), the total number of Jews in the country was estimated as 4,228,019. It is thus found that 96.67 per cent (4,087,357 persons) of the Jews in the country live in places where they can be served by the permanent congregations in the places; while 3.33 per cent (140,672 persons) live scattered all over the country in groups too small to have permanent congregations. Some of these 140,672 Jews have, however, "High Holidays congregations" and others have access to permanent congregations in near-by cities. Generally speaking, there exists in the country one permanent congregation to serve every 1,386 Jewish men, women, and children (one congregation for every 1,426 Jewish men, women, and children in the urban places, and one congregation for every 166 Jews in the rural areas). Of the 2,948 congregations, 1,335 reported that they spent during the last fiscal year a total of $16,445,235 for current 199 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 200 expenses, improvements, taxes, loans, etc.: 1,202 urban congregations reported $16,334,214, or an average of $13,589, and 33 rural congregations reported $111,021, or an average of $3,364. Of the total number of congregations, 1,131 reported that the value of their synagogue buildings was $100,890,669: 1,100 urban congregations valued their synagogue buildings at $100,317,169, or an average of $91,197, and 31 rural congregations, $573,500, or an average of $18,500. It may also be stated here that 554 congregations reported Sabbath schools with 4,247 officers and teachers and 69,439 pupils; and 604 congregations reported week-day schools with 2,248 officers and teachers and 64,863 pupils. The figure of 2,948 congregations given above, and the information about them cover only those congregations which were actually reported to us. A thorough canvass was made; but it is not claimed that the results are absolutely complete.

I., Democrat, Representative, New York City, 1926— STATISTICS OF JEWS BY H. S. LINFIELD, PH. D., Director, Statistical Department of the American Jewish Committee INTRODUCTORY NOTE The present article on statistics of Jews is largely a reprint of the writer's article published in the preceding volume of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. Every table, however, has been revised and brought up-to-date. With regard to Jewish population statistics, it should be borne in mind that the figures arrived at on the basis of a religious or nationality census are likely to be inaccurate to some extent. This is partly due to the fact that there is sometimes a tendency on the part of census enumerators to minimize the number of persons of a minority religion or nationality, and partly because some Jews report their nationality as that of the majority population, or decline to answer the question as to religion or nationality. 245 246 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK A LIST OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD AND THEIR JEWS' The total in Jews of the world is over 15,324,515 persons scattered over the whole earth.

JEWS IN THE UNITED STATES The Government of the United States and the Governments of the States, in making their various censuses, take no account of the religious affiliations of the inhabitants. There are therefore, no official statistics of the number of Jews in the country, and such figures as have been used from time to time were all based on estimates. In 1927, new estimates were compiled according to methods described elsewhere in this volume. (See pp. 000.) These figures are the first compiled on a comprehensive scale since 1917. For various detailed tables the reader is referred to these pages. Below we present only a summary table giving the number of Jews in continental United States and in the outlying possessions.

The number of Jews in the outlying possessions, however, was small compared with the total populations of those possessions, the percentage of Jews being 0.01. AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 248 B. JEWISH POPULATION OF THE WORLD Although Jews live all over the world, the density of the Jewish population varies. Of the 15,324,515 Jews in the world, nearly two-thirds live in Europe and over 30% live in North and South America. Asia, Africa, and Australasia together have but 7.45% of the total Jewish population: Asia, 3.85%, Africa, 3.41%, and Australasia, 1.1%.

JEWISH IMMIGRATION INTO THE UNITED STATES JEWISH IMMIGRATION 1881-1921 Little is known, statistically, of the earlier waves of Jewish immigration to the United States, the immigration of Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch Jews and of German Jews. We are in possession of satisfactory figures relative to Jewish immigration from 1881 onward. TABLE X A SUMMARY OF JEWISH IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES, 1881-1927 Year Number 1881-1898 Not deducting departures or adding admissions through ports other than New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore 1899-1907 Gross increase (departures not deducted) 1908-1927 Net increase (departures deducted) Total 533,478 829,244 987,478 2,350,200 If we assume that during the period of 1881-1898 the number of Jewish departures equalled the number of Jewish admissions through ports other than New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and if we neglect for the moment the number of Jewish departures during 1899-1907, the net increase of Jewish immigration to the United States during 1881— 1927 amounts to 2,350,200.

No figures are available for Jewish immigrants who entered the United States through other ports during these seventeen years, but it is believed that the number of these immigrants was inconsiderable. Beginning with 1899 we possess figures for the total Jewish immigration at all ports, but up to 1907 no statistics of departures were kept by the United States authorities. The total number of Jews admitted from 1899 to 1907 was 829,244, which is 11.9% of the total number of immigrants admitted during the same period.

During the same period, 53,150 Jews departed from the United States. The last figure forms 5.1% of the number of Jews admitted; while the percentage of total departures to total admissions was 32.94%. The net increase of the Jewish immigration during this period was 987,478 or 12.7 % of the total net increase as against 8.97% of Jewish admissions to total admissions. With the year ending June 30, 1925 we have probably begun a new period in Jewish immigration. Under the immigration law of 1924, only a limited number of Jews can be expected to enter the country. During the year ending June 30, 1927, only 11,483 Jews entered, and 224 Jews left the country, leaving an increase of only 11,259.

During the same period of time, 3,732 Jews were deported after having been admitted. The latter figure includes 2,429 Jews who were deported during 1911-1927, during which years the Jewish deported constituted but 0.32% of the net increase of Jewish immigration, while the percentage of the total deported to the total net increase was 4.4%.

The Jewish immigrants constituted 3.4% of the total. But the number of Jewish immigrants who departed amounted to only 1.9% of the total number of Jewish immigrants admitted, as against 22.5% for the non-Jews. The increase of Jewish immigrants admitted over Jewish immigrants departed was, as a result, 4.4% of the total increase. 'Of the 224 Jewish emigrants who departed, 76 went to Palestine, 21 to Poland, 35 to Canada, 17 to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 7 to Roumania, and 68 to more than 22 other countries. Of these 224 Jewish alien emigrants, 146 came from the State of New York and the remainder from sixteen other States. STATISTICS OF JEWS 261 Unlike the years prior to 1924, and evidently as a result of the operation of the Immigration Law of 1924, the percentage of Jewish immigrants debarred during the year under review was larger than that of the non-Jewish immigrants, the respective percentages being 9.4% for the Jewish immigrants, and 5.76% for the non-Jewish immigrants. However, the percentage of the number of deported Jewish immigrants after having been admitted, continued to be smaller than the percentage of the number of the deported non-Jewish immigrants. Only 184 Jews were deported during 1927 as against 11,478 non-Jews, constituting 1.6% and 4.58% respectively of the net increase of Jewish and of nonJewish immigrants.

AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 264 Tables XVIII and XIX show that the Jewish immigration during the year ended June 30, 1927, included 24.81% children, while only 15.09% of the total number of non-Jewish immigrants admitted were children. Similarly 18.60% of the total Jewish immigrants were men and women of 45 years of age and over, while only 8.27% of the non-Jewish immigrants belonged to this age group. The percentage of immigrants between 16 and 44 years of age was consequently smaller among Jews (56.59%) than among the total number of non-Jewish immigrants (76.64%). With regard to sex, as in the previous year, the number of Jewish females exceeded the number of Jewish males (54.24% and 45.76%); while among the non-Jewish immigrants the number of males exceeded the number of females (58.37% and 41.63%).

JEWISH IMMIGRATION INTO PALESTINE, 1917-1927 From the date of the British occupation of Palestine, December 9,1917, to the end of 1927,100,780 immigrants entered the country. Of that number 96,601 were Jews and 4,179 were non-Jews. But the government kept no statistics of the religion of the 14,101 persons who entered the country during December 9, 1917-May, 1921, with the result that the number of Jews given includes an indefinite but probably small number of non-Jews and the number given for the non-Jews is a minimum. The proportion of non-Jewish immigrants fluctuated between 1.6% during June-December of 1921 and 7% in 1923. Statistics of emigration are incomplete. During 1922-1926, 16,522 Jews, 22% of the number of Jews admitted, left the country, leaving an increase of 57,380, or 76.4% of the number of Jews admitted. In compiling the statistics for some of the years, the writer had the valuable and courteous cooperation of the Controller of the Permits Section of The Palestine Government.

A. D O M E S T I C 1. MATTERS IMMIGRATION At the Annual Meeting last year, your Executive Committee called attention to the fact t h a t there was then pending in both Houses of Congress a bill, t h e purpose of which was to afford relief to those lawfully admitted aliens whose wives and minor children are still abroad, being unable to join t h e m owing to the restrictions established under the q u o t a law of 1924. T h e bill referred to had been introduced in the Senate b y the Honorable J a m e s W . Wadsworth of New York and in t h e House of Representatives b y the Honorable N a t h a n D . Perlman of the same state. I t provided for the admission outside of the quota of the wives a n d minor children of aliens who had been legally a d m i t t e d as p e r m a n e n t residents to the United States prior to J u l y 1, 1924, a n d who had declared their intention to become citizens. T h a n k s to Senator WadswortK's persistence in the face of w h a t appeared to be certain failure, the bill was passed by the Senate as an a m e n d m e n t to another bill on a cognate subject which had already been a d o p t e d by t h e House a n d was likely to pass the Senate. In the confusion of the closing d a y s of the session this measure with m a n y others succumbed to the filibuster. It is not unlikely t h a t this measure will be brought up again for consideration in the Seventieth Congress which will open its sessions in December. T h e r e are m a n y individuals as well as civic organizations holding the vi^ws which your C o m m i t t e e has expressed from the beginning, t h a t the q u o t a law is causing unmerited hardship to aliens who were a d m i t t e d prior to its going into effect and to the members of their families who are still abroad. T h e opponents of this remedial measure come entirely from the ranks REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 273 of those who advocate laws even more drastically restrictive than any that have gone before and who have hardened their hearts to any proposal, however logical or humane, •-vhich would have the effect of increasing to even a limited extent the number of persons who are admitted to the United States even though it be to meet a temporary emergency. They argue that these aliens ought to have familiarized themselves with the possibilities of the quota legislation before its enactment and should have known that they would find it difficult to have their relatives join them. The Commissioner General of Immigration, the Honorable Harry E. Hull, in a recent statement to the press, has voiced the same view, saying that much of the fault for the separation of families may be attributed to the immigrants themselves, that they know the law, and "yet they leave their wives and families to come here on the gamble that they will be able to slip in in the next monthly quota." Whatever may be said of immigrants admitted after the passage of the Immigration Law of 1924, it is unreasonable to apply the same argument to those who came earlier, under the previous less restricted quota law which was expressly limited in its duration and who would not have anticipated the complete departure by Congress from the established legislative policy of nearly a century. President Coolidge had in his message to Congress in December, 1925, declared with regard to the immigration situation that it should "be carefully surveyed, in order to ascertain whether it is working a needless hardship upon our own inhabitants." He went on to say: "If it deprives them of the comfort and society of those bound to them by close family ties, such modifications should be adopted as will afford relief . . . we should not be forgetful of the obligations of a common humanity." In his message of December, 1926, the President again referred to this subject, pointing out that the purpose of restriction of immigration was to confer economic benefits upon the United States, but that "it ought not to cause a needless separation of families and dependents from their natural source of support, contrary to the dictates of humanity." Your Committee fervently hopes that the incoming Congress will heed the advice of President Coolidge and that 274 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK an amendment to the law may be passed which shall moderate the harshness and obviate the injustice of this phase of the present law. Little effort was made at the last session of the Sixtyninth Congress to push through the proposals for the compulsory registration of immigrants. In his Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1926, the Honorable James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, did not as in previous years again recommend the passage of such an act. Instead, he suggested that registration be made voluntary and that it should constitute the basis for certificates of arrival for use in naturalization proceedings and other kindred purposes. A bill somewhat along these lines was introduced in the House of Representatives, but was not reported. On the other hand a drastic deportation bill was strongly urged and was opposed, because of its unjustifiable stringency which would have made it the medium of blackmail and persecution. 2. NATURALIZATION Serious difficulties of various kinds prevent the naturalization of many thousands of foreign-born residents. This is largely due to a failure to provide adequate facilities in New York City and in other important centres, where naturalization has been wholly taken over by the overcrowded federal courts, due to insufficient personnel, to crowded calendars and insufficient accommodations. Another cause has been the application of harsh and often arbitrary and unreasonable educational tests to those seeking citizenship. This has resulted in serious increases in the percentage of rejections by recent legislation. To a marked degree this is attributable to the fact that responsibility has been shifted practically from the judges to bureaucratic examiners. But in addition to this, in passing on the legal qualification of applicants, it is believed that the statute has been erroneously interpreted in various courts, whose dicta are apt to be regarded as law by the lay examiners and to govern their action. A ruling which was obiter has been made recently by one of the federal courts approving of the contentions of the Labor Depart- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 275 ment as to the supposed non-naturalizability of residents of the United States whose wives and minor children are still abroad being unable to join them here. This theory was considered at length in our Annual Report ofNovember, 1925 (reprinted in the American Jewish Year Book for 1926-7, pages 454-467). The remarks to which we refer are contained in an opinion rendered in which it was said: "In this connection I cannot help but call attention to the fact that the provisions of the immigration law which confer privileges and immunities upon aliens desiring to enter this country by virtue of judicial action under the naturalization laws clearly was the inducting cause for the reprehensible conduct of this alien. It has been with a sense of deep concern that I have noted the large number of aliens seeking naturalization who have wife and minor children abroad.. Some of them who have come into court before me have frankly admitted that the reason they seek naturalization is to be able to bring members of their family from foreign countries, who are unable to meet the requirements of the immigration law, but who would be privileged were the applicant a citizen of the United States. An alien who approaches our courts, asking that he be made a citizen, with no higher purpose than to circumvent the immigration law, clearly is dis- qualified. He has not met the requirements of our naturalization law, nor the ideals of the American people with reference to that subject." We permit ourselves to say that there are those who believe that the converse of this reasoning seems to be more persuasive, namely, that an applicant for naturalization who does not desire or who would falsely assert that he does not wish to have his family join him, would thereby demonstrate himself to be unworthy of American citizenship. It is to be hoped that this proposition may soon be subjected to the critical scrutiny of a federal apellate court. Another recent naturalization decision is likely to cause much hardship. It was rendered by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in the case of U. S. vs. Maney, reported in 21 Fed. (2) 28, where a divided court reversed the decision of the U. S. District Court in favor of naturalization. There, applicant's certificate of arrival was not attached to his petition for naturalization when filed, as it should have been; but twenty days later, the Department of Labor caused it to be filed. When the application for naturalization subsequently came up for 276 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK hearing, the naturalization examiner asked for the dismissal of the proceeding for the reason that the landing certificate was not attached to the application when originally filed. The District Court, however, amended the proceeding by ordering the certificate to be regarded as filed with the petition. Naturalization having been granted, the Government instituted a proceeding to cancel the decree of naturalization upon this technicality. The proceedings of the Government were dismissed in the District Court in an able opinion (13 Fed. (2) 662). On appeal, however, the majority of the Circuit Court of Appeals held this defect to be fatal, and vacated the naturalization on a literal interpretation of an obscurely phrased clause of the naturalization law. In ex parte naturalization proceedings, in which applicants are rarely represented by counsel, innumerable petty technical errors of no significance have arisen from time to time, through inadvertence and without fault on the part of the applicants. It, therefore, is to be feared that this decision, if not reversed, may lead to many cancellations of naturalization. This Committee has urged the counsel in charge of the case to apply to the U. S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari in order that there may be an authoritative determination of this important proposition. Such an application is now pending. 3. RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL INTOLERANCE In respect of religious and racial intolerance in our country, the past year witnessed the practical cessation of all organized anti-Jewish propaganda. In January, the attention of the Committee was called to the fact that the announcer of a New York City radio broadcasting station maintained by Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson and a group calling themselves Christian Scientists frequently delivered himself of scurrilous remarks aimed at Roman Catholics and Jews. The President of your Committee looked into the matter and the following correspondence ensued: January 10, 1927. DEAR MRS. STETSON: I am informed that Radio Station WHAP is conducted under your auspices or those of the organization to which you belong. I have recently heard your readings from that station. It has become REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 277 notorious that for some time past addresses have been delivered from this station by one Ford and others, consisting of violent attacks upon Jews and Catholics. They are persistent, malignant and vicious. I would scarcely have believed the reports as to the character of these attacks had I not with my own ears listened to one of them some weeks ago. It seemed extraordinary to me that anybody would venture in this free land to indulge in such vituperation. What accentuates the evil of such an act is the fact that the speaker was acting under the auspices of a religious body, a branch of the Christian Science Church. Judging from your readings, its fundamental idea seems to be that salvation is to be attained through the science oTxeligion, which is to bring about mental and physical health. /But how can^that b_e_accomglished_when the very air is poisonea^nd rendered mephiticby the emanations of hatred,, prejudice anb^rmrolerance"which proceed from the station which your organization is maintaining? It would seem to me that you would advance the cause of mental and moral hygiene by abating this nuisance. Very truly yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, 7 West 96th Street, New York City. Mr. Louis Marshall, 120 Broadway, New York City. January 13, 1927. DEAR MR. MARSHALL: Your letter in regard to Station WHAP was received. You are correct, in your estimate of the readings, which are given by me from the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and my forever Leader and Teacher, as well as the readings from my books and those of my student practitioners, given by my students. The purpose of these readings is, to bring healing to the world. This healing includes the three-fold work of the Messiah,'or Christ, the eternal Son of God, namely, the healing of sin, sickness, and death. Your letter protests against certain denunciatory addresses, delivered from Station WHAP, which you say are directed against Roman Catholics and Jews. I have been taught, dear Mr. Marshall, by my Leader and Teacher, Mary Baker Eddy, from my earliest touch with her, that the healing of sin involves and requires the denunciation of sin and the sinner. There is no other way under heaven whereby sin can be destroyed; neither is the healing of sickness and so-called death possible, except through the destruction of iin. It is written in the Scriptures: "Without holiness, no man shall see God." Christ Jesus did not hesitate to denounce sin and sinners, in the strongest language, to the end, that the sin and evil . which hold the world in bondage, shall, and must be destroyed. 278 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK However, these denunciations are never personal, but are directed against any system which teaches, encourages or allows the committing of evil, in any form. The Roman Catholic system, under its pope and hierarchy, does teach, encourage and allow the committing of evil, in all its forms, and this system is designated in Holy Scripture as "anti-Christ," "the great red dragon," and similar names, symbolic of its evil character. (See Revelation.) This system, in its practice and teaching, perpetuates the propagation of flesh and blood, which constitutes the belief of life in matter, which is the foundation of all evil, since God is spirit, and He is not the author of flesh and blood. There is no (one) on the earth, who can successfully contradict this statement. Mrs. Eddy writes: Man is not material; he is spiritual. (Science and Health, page 468.) Therefore, Station WHAP does denounce and condemn Roman Catholicism, its pope and hierarchy, its prelates, its ecclesiastical and lay militant orders, and its entire membership, as well as its practice; and this Station will continue so to denounce and condemn Roman Catholicism, until the entire system of popery is expelled from America. This is the command of Christ. The case is somewhat different with Jewry. I have, among my body of Christian Science students, many Jews, who are noble, good, true, pure men and women, and who are living lives in accordance with the highest ideals of Christ's Christianity. I count them among my best students. There are many Jews in the outside world, also, who recognize the value of the pure Christian idealism for which America stands, and which is essentially involved in American citizenship, and fundamental thereto. Nevertheless, there is another class of Jew, unfortunately, who seeks, for some unaccountable reason—perhaps from the common perversion of the natural man—to break down American ideals of purity in morals, honesty in business, and refinement and culture in society. We have evidence a-plenty of this evil tendency on the part of these evil-minded Jews, in the growth of vile literature, including popular magazines, the increase of lewd plays and moving pictures, the corrupt practices in the business world, and the lowering of the American standards of social refinement and culture. Dear Mr. Marshall, I, as a follower of Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy, and as an American, whose ancestors were among the Pilgrim fathers and mothers, who came to America, in the Mayflower, in 1620, to "find freedom to worship God,"—I may say, that I am descended from Captain Myles Standish, and also from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins—I have the right, as a Christian Scientist and an American citizen, to denounce evil and all evildoers, and I shall not flinch from this imperative duty, until all evil shall depart from America, and from the world. To those who earnestly desire the healing which comes through the beneficient ministration of Christian Science, and who are willing to obey the loving command of Christ, who, when he healed, said, "Go, and sin no more." I and my students stand ready to speak the word and give the healing of which the world today REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 279 stands in so great need. My books are a record of my work for forty years, and they attest, upon unimpeachable authority and evidence, that I and my student body have freely bestowed this healing work upon thousands of people, which work we are today extending to millions, by means of the radio, through station WHAP. With kindest regards, dear Mr. Marshall, I am, Sincerely yours, (Signed) AUGUSTA E. STETSON. JAMES P. B. HYNDMAN, Assistant Secretary. January 15, 1927. DEAR MRS. STETSON: I am in receipt of yours of the 13th instant, in answer to mine regarding Station WHAP. I have likewise received various books explanatory of Christian Science, which I shall be very glad to keep for further study and future reference. I must confess that I am greatly surprised that you justify the denunciation and condemnation of Roman Catholicism and of Jews who are not included in what you describe as your "body of Christian Science students." All through the books which you have sent me there runs the thought of the Fatherhood of God and that God is Love. I tuink it is proper to quote your own words from the book entitled "Greetings and a Message to the Dear Children." There you say (pp. 9, 10): "You know that you must love your little brothers and sisters and be unselfish and kind, and share with them the good things you have if you wish to be happy, and make your earthly father and mother and home happy. As you grow older you will see, that if there is but one God, one creator, and this God is Life and Love, that every one must be your brother or sister and you must love them, because God is Life and Love, and He made them like Himself,—good, and that they are all His good children, whom He made in 'His own image.' " I also note that throughout your books you quote Scripture, including not only the so-called New Testament, but also the Old Testament. I do not therefore imagine that you repudiate the words of Malachi, that have thundered down through the ages: "Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, By profaning the covenant of our fathers?" There seems to be a great gap between what you have preached and what you are now saying and doing. You seek to justify yourself by saying that Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, has declared that the healing of sin involves and requires the denunciation of sin and the sinner. What you are doing is not to denounce individual sinners or individual wrongdoing. You are attacking the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope and the hierarchy, and its entire membership, and you calmly say that Station WHAP "will continue so to denounce and condemn Roman Catholicism un- 280 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK til the entire system of popery is expeclled from America." You are thus permitting yourself to sit in judgment upon the opinions and convictions of your brothers and sisters of the Catholic Church. Your characterize them as "anti-Christ" and by other names, which you say are "symbolic of evil character." Upon analysis it would seem that the real ground of your attack is that the doctrines and teachings of Mrs. Eddy are not accepted by the Roman Catholics. But are they accepted by Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists to refer to only a few of the many Christian sects? And are they adopted by the hundreds of millions of human beings who live in Asia and Africa and other parts of the world? Do you seriously believe that you and the members of the Christian Science Church, whose very existence dates back but a few decades, have the right to condemn and threaten with expulsion from America millions of other Christians who do not see eye to eye with you? Have you any better right to regard them as "anti-Christ," whatever that may mean, than they have to make the same charge against Christian Science? You are assuming a tremendous responsibility. You say that the case is somewhat different, with Jewry. In what respect? We are not even Christians. / W e do not accept Christ. We have entertained these views for .fifty centuries. jWe have given to the world the very Bible upon which" you baSfi-your faith. You say that you have in your body of Christian Science students many Jews "who are living lives in accordance with the highest ideals of Christ's Christianity." Of course you count them among your best students, and yet you still call them Jews and through your station are attacking them as well as those who do not recognize Christian Science. You then proceed to say that there is another class of Jews who "break down American ideals of purity in morals, honesty in business and refinement and culture in society." Has it occurred to you that these people whom you call Jews, are merely individuals who have no regard for Judaism or for any other faith, just as there are millions of so-called Christians who have no regard for any form of Christianity? They are condemned by Jews, not only for their wrongdoing, but also because of the stain which is placed upon the name of the Jew in consequence of the perverted ideas of many non-Jews who attribute the sins of an individual to the race or creed to which the ancestors of such persons may have been attached. You would at once rebel at the thought that, because there are some Christian Scientists who are evil-doers; their sins should be laid at the door of Christian Science. I can assure you that, so far as purity in morals, honesty in business and refinement and culture in society are concerned, the Jews need not be ashamed of comparison with the descendants of the Pilgrim fathers and mothers, or with any other section of the American people. If you wish to denounce sin and the sinner, do so, provided we really know what is meant by those terms; but in the name of all that is sacred do not disregard the lesson that you yourself have REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 281 taught to little children in the passage which I have quoted from your book. It does not seem possible that you think it consistent to teach the doctrine of brotherhood and love to little children, and at the same time inculcate in them the thought that when they grgBL-up they may turn their faces against that humane doctrine. (My mind is so constituted that I have no patience with metaphysics or ecclesiastical refinements. I believe that all of us have the right to seek salvation in our own way, without let or hindrance. So long as we observe the laws of the state and the rules of decency and morality, we should be free from wanton attacks and insults. That is my interpretation of the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of ManTTYour philosophy, led to its logical conclusion, would justify the extermination by Christian Scientists, if they were strong enough, of all Roman Catholics and all Jews who are unwilling to accept the revelation of Mary Baker Eddy.' Apparently it will do no good, but as an American citizen who believers in the sanctity of the Constitution, and as a human being who believes in the sanctity of humanity, I protest against the dangerous practice that you have adopted of instilling in the public mind hatred and enmity against Roman Catholics and Jews because their religious beliefs differ from yours. Such actions are to my mind the very acme of sin. Very truly yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, 7 West 96th Street, New York City. This correspondence was followed by a cessation of the anti-Jewish attacks, but there was no abatement of the virulence of those directed against the Roman Catholic Church. You have already been informed of the proceedings which culminated, on June 30, 1927, in the publication by Mr. Henry Ford of Detroit, of a statement whereby he retracted the anti-Jewish charges published from time to time since May, 1920, in his weekly the Dearborn Independent and in pamphlet form under the title the International Jew, apologized to the Jewish people for having permitted the publication of these charges, promised to withdraw from circulation the pamphlets which have been distributed throughout the country and in foreign lands, and to make it known in every way possible that these charges have his unqualified disapproval. The documents relating to these negotiations between the representatives 282 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK of Mr. Ford and your President are appended to this report.* The correspondence was widely published and commented upon in the press not only of the United States but also of practically every country of the world. Your Committee believes that Mr. Ford's step will go a long way toward counteracting the evil done by the dissemination of the libels which had been published in the Dearborn Independent and collected in pamphlet form. There is no doubt, however, that anti-Jewish propagandists will continue to use much of this voluminous material, and to this extent the harm done is irreparable. Shortly after the issuance of Mr. Ford's statement of June 30, 1927, in which, among other things he announced that the pamphlets which have been distributed throughout the country and in foreign lands would be withdrawn from circulation, the notorious anti-Semitic agitator Theodor Fritsch and the Hammer Verlag of Leipzig, Germany, with which he appears to be connected, publicly denied that Mr. Ford had made the statement, adding: "Were it true, Mr. Ford would have withdrawn from me the publication rights of the International Jew," thus asserting that he claimed to possess such publication rights. In a subsequent statement he announced that the publication and distribution of the pamphlet would be continued, and indulged in a series of falsehoods which were an insult not only to the Jews, but also to Mr. Ford. Your president called these facts to the attention of Mr. Ford, who, under date of November 1, 1927, sent the following letter to Fritsch: Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 1, 1927. THEODOR FRITSCH, Koenigstrasse 17, Leipzig, Germany. DEAR SIR: On June 30, 1927, I issued a statement regarding articles concerning the Jews which had appeared in the Dearborn Independent and some of which had been reprinted in pamphlet form under the title "The International Jew." Being satisfied that these publications were unwarranted and that consequently it was my duty as • an honorable man to retract the charges against the Jews con* See AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, Vol. 29, pp. 383-389. REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 283 tained in these publications and to withdraw the publications from circulation, I gave this statement the fullest publicity, and took it for granted that my wish in this regard would be scrupulously observed. I am enclosing a correct and authorized copy of that statement. All of the copies of "The International Jew" in the possession or under the control of the Dearborn Publishing Company have been destroyed at my instance. I am informed through the public prints that you are still publishing and circulating these pamphlets in various European countries in a number of languages, using my name in connection therewith and asserting that the publication rights thereof have not been withdrawn. In order that there may be no misunderstanding as to my wishes in this regard, you are accordingly notified that whatever rights you have or claim to have to publish "The International Jew" anywhere or in any language whatsoever, are hereby revoked and terminated, and that the publication, sale or other distribution of "The International Jew" and the use of the name of Henry Ford or of the Dearborn Publishing Company in connection therewith, by you or by any person or corporation claiming under you or acting by your authority as agent, licensee or otherwise, are hereby forbidden. In acknowledging this letter will you kindly inform me of your assurance that you will in all respects acquiesce in this demand. Yours truly, HENRY FORD. An identical letter was sent to Hammer-Verlag of Leipzig, the publishers of the foreign editions of "The International Jew." In September, the Executive Board of the National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods called your Committee's attention to the activities of an organization called the Industrial Defense Association, Inc., having its headquarters in Boston, Mass., which was disseminating antiSemitic literature, in the form of an official publication entitled What's What and leaflets put out by The Britons, an anti-Semitic organization in England. As the most prominent name on the Advisory Board of the Industrial Defense Association, Inc., was that of General Clarence R. Edwards, your President sent the foliowing letter to him to the address of the Association : September 21, 1927. DEAR GENERAL EDWARDS : My attention has been called to Vol. I, No. 3, of a publication entitled "What's What," also to a pamphlet entitled "The Future Domination" purporting to be published by The Britons Publish- 284 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ing Society, and to another pamphlet entitled "White Labor Versus Red," with a Synopsis of "The Protocols," both stamped "Distributed by Industrial Defense Asso., Inc., 7 Water St., Boston." It appears from the official publication of that association that you are one of its Advisory Board and that Mr. Edward H. Hunter is the Executive Secretary. I will assume that you do not intend to give your sanction to the circulation of forgeries, but I can say without hesitation that all that is said in these two pamphlets with regard to the so-called Protocols and to a pretended discourse claimed to have been delivered_by a Rabbi with the authority of one "Sir John Redcliffe"Hs an unqualified fabrication. j^That has been established by disclosures fiiady s>eveitft years ago "By The London Times. That is likewise established by the intrinsic evidence of the alleged .Protocols. In brief the facts are these: About 1865 one Joly, a Catholic lawyer of Paris who was inimical to Napoleon III, who was then the Emperor of France, and who desired to make him appear in a despicable light, wrote an imaginative work called "The Discourse in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu." In the course of this dialogue Machiavelli, who was intended to represent Napoleon III, made use of expressions as indicating his policy, which are identical with those contained in the Protocols, which are claimed to have been written a third of a century later. Some years after the July book was written one Goedsche, a German who had been convicted of forgery, wrote a book called "Paris-Biarritz" under the pseudonym of Sir John Redcliffe. In this book appeared a fantastic chapter purporting to give an account of a meeting held in a cemetery at Prague at which reprepresentatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, ten of which had been lost for centuries, reported at midnight what they had done during the previous century for the purpose of carrying out a plot to obtain world power for the Jews. Anybody who reads this chapter and believers a word of what there appears must be in~ a psychopathic condition. Some years later this chapter of Goedsche's novel based on Joly's book was transformed into a pretended discourse by a Rabbi who never existed, and was published in a number of antiSemitic newspapers, but was so absurd that no attention was given to it at the time of such publication. Still later the Secret Police of Russia, for the purpose of carrying out their usual plan of making the Jew a scapegoat for the sins of the Russian autocracy, caused one Nilus to create, on the basis of these several concoctions, the socalled "Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion." In their present form they have undergone various changes, and the account of how the so-called documents came into the possession of Nilus is utterly preposterous. The Joly book had been forgotten until it was discovered in Constantinople, some time in 1923, by a correspondent of The London Times. He immediately recognized its practical identity with the Protocols, which had recently been published. He called the subject to the attention of his newspaper, which on making REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 285 inquiry at the British Museum found that a copy of the Joly book was in that library. In consequence of this discovery The London Times, which had previously been somewhat impressed by ths Protocols, denounced them as a base forgery. Now your organization, using your name as one of its sponsors, is circulating what it calls a Synopsis of this vile forgery, is making it the basis of an attack upon the Jews, and is lending support to the extraordinary theory that the Jews are not only seeking to dominate, but are actually dominating, capital and labor. In other words fifteen million people, of whom the greater part are in abject poverty as a result of age-long persecution to which they have been and still are being subjected, are controlling the one billion five hundred million and more of the inhabitants of the earth. Your organization is likewise making it appear that the mythical Sir John Redcliffe was a reality, and by his alleged authority is distributing the so-called discourse by a Rabbi who never existed, which is nothing more or less than a re-hash of the blood and thunder story of the forger Goedsche, whose inspiration comes from the Joly book, which, as I have said, has no relation to the Jews and was merely a satire against Napoleon III. As an honorable man I am confident that with these facts brought to your attention you will put an end to this wanton attack upon your fellow-citizens of the Jewish faith Let me call your attention to the fact that in the Dearborn Independent and in the pamphlets called The International Jew, based upon articles contained in the Dearborn Independent, these same Protocols were made the starting point of a long continued attack upon the Jews. You must be aware of the fact that on June 30, 1927, Mr. Henry Ford, the owner of the Dearborn Independent and the publisher of The International Jew, having as a result of a careful investigation satisfied himself that the charges made in those publications against the Jews were false, confessed the wrong that he had done, retracted the charges made, and asked forgiveness of those whom he had greatly injured by the dissemination of the wicked accusations contained in these publications. For your information I am handing you a pamphlet in which will be found Mr. Ford's statement, which was forwarded to me at his instance, and my reply thereto. I earnestly hope that the Industrial Defense Association, Inc., will follow the example of Mr. Ford and will cease to issue such literature as that to which I have referred. "The Britons" or "The Britons Publishing Society," whose imprint your pamphlets bear, is an organization with which men like you should be unwilling to affiliate. Very cordially yours {Signed) Louis MARSHALL. GEN. CLARENCE R. EDWARDS, Care Industrial Defense Association, Inc., 7 Water Street, Boston, Mass. 286 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Upon learning that this letter had not been forwarded to General Edwards, a copy was sent to him to his home. This brought the following reply: September 28, 1927. MY DEAR MR. MARSHALL: I did not receive your letter of September 21st. I hasten to tell you that early this summer somebody came here and mentioned that the Industrial Defense Association was making charges that could not be substantiated and I immediately told them to take my name off of their letterhead. In fact my connection with the Association came through General Bisbee, one of my old Generals who brought me up. He was the head of it and he told me that they were working to defeat this radicalism and "Peace at any Price" even "Peace with dishonor but Peace." At the time I told them I was so busy I could not be active . . . and would have to count on General Bisbee and his Board of Directors to be very careful of their statements. I must say that I have only read one or two of their circulars as I did not think they would put me on their Board when I said that I could not be active. As regards my attitude toward the Jew it is rather amusing. Rabbi Wise will tell you that because in my Division I had some 1500 or 1600 Jews, 85 of whom were killed and about 300 wounded, I have made several addresses paying tribute to their valor like other Americans and always praising the doing away of the antipathy relating to race, religion and class. So I am sorry that I have been supposed to endorse anything of that nature. As Mr. Hunter has already told you that I have resigned I do not think there is anything more to say except that I am awfully sorry this has happened. Sincerely yours, (Signed) C. R. EDWARDS. In response to this, your President wrote: September 30, 1927. DEAR GENERAL EDWARDS: I wish to thank you for your very satisfactory letter of the 28th instant. I was confident that you could not possibly entertain such views as those which are advocated by the Industrial Defense Association and that you would not sanction the circulation of such demonstrated falsehoods as were contained in the publication of The Britons and The Briton Publishing Company. One who has seen the Jews in action in times of peril, as you have, and has beheld them fighting for our country's flag and laying down their lives for the perpetuation of its institutions, knows how impossible it is for the Jews in time of peace to do anything which would militate against our country's welfare. Nothing can be more hostile to that spirit of unity which should exist among our citizens than to stir up REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 287 hatred, prejudice and antipathy because of differences of race, religion or social position. With best regards, I am, Very cordially yours, {Signed) Louis MARSHALL. Gen. C. R. Edwards, Doneroving, West wood, Mass. 4. JEWISH POLITICAL CLUBS Recently, the President of your Committee received a letter from the secretary of a so-called "Hebrew" Democratic Club, containing the information that the club had been organized in July of this year and that within three months thereafter an active membership of more than 250 men had been built up. "The objects of our organization," wrote the secretary "are to promote the welfare of the Jewish people, to take an active part in civic welfare and betterment, charitable interests, and to get behind those Jewish young men who are deserving of political recognition." He went on to inform Mr. Marshall that there had been some discussion "in regard to the use of the name 'Hebrew' in connection with a political organization" and the club was desirous of obtaining the views on that question of leading Jews. In response to the secretary's request that Mr. Marshall give his impartial opinion on the matter, he wrote the letter which follows: DEAR SIR: I am in receipt of yours of the — instant, in which you ask my opinion as to the propriety of using the word "Hebrew" in connection with a political organization. I am very glad to embrace this opportunity to express to you my views on this important subject. To my mind nothing can be more objectionable than to resort to such practice. It is undignified, it is un-American, it is un-Jewish. In this country, where there is a separation of Church and State, where freedom of conscience is guaranteed by State and Federal Constitutions, where every dweller in the land may unquestionably observe his religious belief, where we are all one people, to designate a political club as Hebrew, Jewish, Catholic, German, Irish or Italian, is an evidence of shockingly bad taste and of a lack of appreciation of what America stands for. Whenever I hear of any body of men who thus brand themselves politically, I immediately ask myself what is their game, whose political chestnuts are they seeking to pull out of the fire, what is their conception of citizenship and politics, whose collar are they wearing and what boss are they .288 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK seeking to influence? Every decent-thinking man when confronted with such a situation recoils in disgust. I approve of political clubs, whether they be Republican, Democratic or Independent, provided they are devoted to the serious study of political and governmental principles, to the education of their members in the organic law of the State and Nation and in matters of public concern. But when such a club is called either the Hebrew Republican Club or the Hebrew Democratic Club, it at once gives rise to the impression that the men in the club are influenced by sordid reasons and not by those elevated considerations which should lead to the formation of such an organization. The non-Jew at once entertains suspicion of such an organization and loses respect for its members. Even politicians gauge the club by the name which it adopts and draw inferences which are not complimentary to the sponsors. We Jews especially owe a duty to ourselves to occupy a dignified attitude toward public questions—not to cheapen our name, not to permit it to be dragged through the mud of ward politics. It should have to us a sacred connotation and should not be placed in danger of being soiled and contaminated. Moreover, why should we Jews give rise to any inference that we have a special ax to grind, that our politics have a selfish tinge, and why should we, who in the past suffered because of our religion, now create even a suspicion that we are entering into politics under the banner of separatism? We are opposed to the Ku-Klux-Klan, we were opposed to the A. P. A. and to the Know Nothings, but we are imitating them when we call ourselves Hebrew Democrats and Hebrew Republicans, and Hebrew this and Hebrew that I have at various times been approached by men high in political life with the question, What can be done to gather in "the Hebrew vote?" I have told them invariably that there is no Hebrew vote, that we are American citizens, and that we adopt the principles of one or the other of the parties in accordance with our idea as to what best contributes to the welfare of the country. I have also told them that if I ever heard of any attempt by my own party to differentiate between its members on the basis of their religious faith, I would denounce it as being hostile to the spirit which should prevail in our country. On every occasion these gentlemen have apologized and have thanked me for the opinions expressed. I am perhaps speaking more vehemently than is necessary, but I regard this to be a matter of vital importance. I am probably impelled to do so the more by that part of your letterhead which reads: "Hebrew Democratic Club of X for the Interest of Hebrew Citizens of X." Can anything be more damning than such an expression? What is the interest of the Hebrew citizens of X as distinguished from the interest of all the citizens of X—Jewish, Catholic or Protestant? Suppose our Catholic friends should form a club and call it the Catholic Republican Club of X for the Interest of the Catholic Citizens of X, or some of our Protestant friends should call a club the Presbyterian Democratic Club of X for the Interest of the Presbyterian Citizens of X. Who would protest REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 289 loudest under such circumstances? I venture to say that it would be the citizens of the Jewish faith, and they would be entirely justified unless by their own example they encouraged such forms of organization. Coming to the second paragraph of your letter, I feel shocked. You say: "The objects of our organization are to promote the welfare of the Jewish people,'to take an active part in civic welfare and betterment, charitable interests, and to get behind those Jewish young men who are deserving of political recognition." I do not understand why you differentiate between "the welfare of the Jewish people" and "civic welfare and betterment." Does not the promotion of the latter promote the welfare of the Jewish people as fully as it deserves to be promoted? I do not know what "charitable interests" have to do with a political club. I know that there are some political clubs which during election time seek charitable contributions from political candidates. To me this is a degradation of one of the noblest sentiments of humanity. And then to form a club for the purpose of having it advance the interests of "Jewish young men who are deserving of political recognition." You are playing with fire and with edged tools when you announce this as the ultimate purpose of your organization. This idea of getting political recognition because one is a Jew is, to me, unspeakably shameful. Men will get their deserts without that kind of boosting. Let the Jewish young men become good citizens, perform their public and private duties, gain a reputation for integrity and ability and modesty, and it will not be necessary to form a club to hoist them into public office. I earnestly hope that your organization will revise its purposes and change its name without delay. By doing so its members would honor the Jewish name instead of debasing it. Very truly yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. 5. BUREAU OF JEWISH SOCIAL RESEARCH During the past year, the Committee continued to maintain its connection with the Bureau of Jewish Social Research in which the Bureau of Statistics, formerly maintained by the Committee, merged, and toward the support of which the Committee as for several years past, made an annual contribution of $8,500. The Department of Information and Statistics of this Bureau, under the direction of Doctor H. S. Linfield, has been performing the functions which had formerly been the work of the Bureau of Statistics; these include the maintenance of information files and indices, and the preparation of statistical tables, directories and other data for the American Jewish Yeaj 290 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Book; this department also prepared for the Committee a Summary of Events of Jewish Interest which appeared as a monthly from September 8, 1921 to May 31, 1926, and since then has been a quarterly publication. During the year, your Committee and the Trustees of the Bureau of Jewish Social Research, in the course of conferences to discuss the work of the Bureau, agreed that it would be to the best interest of both the Bureau and the Committee if the existing arrangement were terminated and that such work as was being done for the Committee by the Bureau, be continued under the direct auspices of the Committee. Accordingly, it has been mutually agreed that the present arrangement come to an end with the close of 1927, it being understood that the Statistical Department of the Committee is not to duplicate the functions of the Bureau, and that whenever this is practicable the services of the Bureau are to be employed in such surveys or investigations as the Committee may decide to have made from time to time. Your Committee will, in the meantime, determine to what extent the statistical work heretofore done under the auspices of the Bureau shall be continued by the Committee. 6. CENSUS OF JEWISH CONGREGATIONS Since April of the present year, a special staff under the supervision of Doctor Lin field, has been cooperating with the United States Bureau of the Census in obtaining the information as to Jewish religious organizations required for the decennial census of religious bodies. It was estimated, as we informed you at our last meeting, that the minimum cost of this work would not be much below $35,000. An endeavor was made by the Committee to raise the necessary money, and to this end the following special contributions were secured: Paul Baerwald, $500; Henry Ittleson, $250; Ludwig Vogelstein, $100; Felix Fuld, $1,700; Joseph Leblang, $500; New York Foundation, $3,500; Felix M. Warburg, $500; A. M. Heinsheimer, $200. In addition, a number of our sustaining members responded to the Committee's plea for additional funds to carry on this work and to enable the Committee to engage REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 291 in other activities by increasing their contributions. This subject will be further discussed under finances. In all but eleven cities, it will be possible by correspondence to secure the information required by the Census Bureau which will prove also of great importance to our own community. In the following cities, however, special methods involving the employment of canvassers will have to be worked out in cooperation with the leaders of the local communities: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Inasmuch as the information to be gathered in these cities is likely to be of value to the local communities, it is hoped that it may be possible to have the work financed by each of these communities so as to relieve the Committee of the financial burden involved. A memorandum on the scope and progress of the work of this Census will be presented later and appended to this report.* 7. THE AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK The twenty-ninth volume of the American Jewish Year Book which was published last September was, as were nineteen of its predecessors, prepared in the office of the Committee. In addition to biographies of the late Oscar Sblomon Straus and Israel Zangwill, the Year Book contains as a special feature an article on the Jews of Hungary based on the Census of 1920 and prepared by Doctor Linfield. The data included in the article will be found of great interest as reflecting the life of Jews in another country, especially those statistics which bear upon birth, marriage and divorce, conversion and apostasy, death, and especially, in view of the existence of the legal restriction upon the enrollment of Jews in universities, those bearing upon that feature. The Year Book also contains the usual Survey of the Year and the various directories of organizations, lists and tables which were all painstakingly revised and brought up to date. The Twentieth Annual Report of the American Jewish Committee is published in permanent form in this volume. * See pages 00 to 000. 292 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK B. CONDITION OF JEWS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES During the past year, there were several events of a distressing nature affecting Jews in various countries. Your Committee believes, however, that these are merely temporary set-backs and that the trend toward better times noted in the reports rendered to you at the Nineteenth and Twentieth Annual Meetings, has not been hindered. In Palestine, there was a severe unemployment crisis which is still continuing; in Russia there has been an increase of anti-Semitism not among the masses, but among the communist factory workers; in Poland the economic stagnation has been disheartening although there are definite indications of improving conditions; in Roumania there were outbreaks of violence against Jews; in Germany and in Austria, there were manifestations of bigotry and intolerance. At the same time, these untoward events were not regarded with apathy by the enlightened public opinion of the various countries involved, and there is reason to expect that though there may at times transpire recurrencs of these unfortunate incidents, with the improvement of economic conditions, the life of the Jewish people in foreign lands will become more tolerable. 1. WESTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE In Norway, the bill for the prohibition of Shehitah, the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food, which had been introduced in the Norwegian Diet last year, and was the subject of correspondence last year between your President and the Secretary of State, was re-introduced during the past spring. Two of the organizations represented in this Committee, the United Synagogue of America and the Rabbinical Assembly of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, adopted resolutions on the subject. Following the transmission of these resolutions to the Norwegian government, through its minister at Washington, and similar action by organizations abroad, it appears that the proposal was either withdrawn or allowed to lapse. In Germany, there were during the past year numerous indications of the existence of a more or less planned anti- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 293 Jewish propaganda. The Berlin section of the German Alpine Association, a sports organization, decided to expel from its membership all Jews, including men prominent in public life, some of whom had been members for many years. At the recent celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Tannenberg, arrangements to have a rabbi participate in the ceremonies were cancelled as a result of pressure on the part of influential persons of anti-Jewish leanings who threatened to disturb the celebration if the rabbi were permitted to speak. There have occurred numerous instances of the desecration of Jewish cemeteries, by the overturning of gravestones and the mutilation of monuments. Other outbreaks of even more violent character were prevented by the timely action of the civil authorities. These sad happenings have, in some Jewish quarters, brought about a spirit of discouragement. This was vividly indicated at an annual conference of the Federation of German Students of the Jewish Faith, which took place in Freiburg in August. At the meeting, the speakers complained that while the Jewish youth had done its full duty during the War, they had lost their Fatherland, and must begin all over again the struggle for their rights as citizens. In Austria anti-Jewish feeling is largely a by-product of political conflict between the Christian Socialists who control the national government, and the Social Democrats who are masters in Vienna, and among whom Jews are prominent. This fact explains in part the student riot at the University of Vienna last spring in which brass-knuckles, iron-tipped canes, and cudgels were lavishly employed; eleven students were seriously injured and other scores hurt, and the authorities were compelled to close the institution. There was also the protest of the students against the appointment of Professor Hupka, a Jew, as dean of the College of Law, the attempt to establish an "Aryan" theatre, whence everything and everybody "Semitic" was to be excluded, and the disgraceful propaganda of the Volkskampf, organ of the Hakenkreuzler, to spread the "ritual" murder myth, during the weeks before Passover. In Hungary, the victory of the anti-Semitic Party in the Budapest municipal elections was greeted by the pealing of church bells. Here the appointment of a Jewish surgeon 294 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK who had performed great services for members of the government, to a chair in the University of Budapest was a signal for rioting. Not satisfied with the numerus clausus, which has reduced the Jewish enrollment at the instituyions of higher learning to less than twenty-five percentum of what it was before the law went into effect, the Minister of Education even proposed a percentage norm for admission of Jews to the bar. This proposal was, however, condemned at a meeting of the Budapest Bar Association. Numerus clausus is so fashionable in Hungary that the municipality of Kecskemet put one into effect at the municipal theatre, by restricting Jews to only five percentum of the seats. Evidently the non-Jews did not take full advantage of this regulation for the theatre was compelled to close its doors for lack of support, and appeal was made to the Jews to forgive and forget. Only a few weeks ago, the Hungarian government began the wholesale expulsion of aliens, almost all of them Jews, without having given them sufficient time to liquidate their affairs. Many of these exiles have reached Cracow, Paris, and other cities, where they present a most pitiable appearance. About a month ago, Premier Bethlen announced that the government intended to introduce at the forthcoming session of Parliament an amendment to the numerus clnusus law, limiting its application only to certain faculties. This announcement was the signal for vociferous protests on the part of the so-called "race purifiers," and riots broke out in Budapest in which students of the university played a leading part. It is reported that they maltreated many Jewish students, tearing the clothes from their backs, forcing them to show their credentials, and then expelling them from the university building. 2. EASTERN E U R O P E In Poland, as a result of a coup d' etat by Marshal Josef Pilsudski in July, 1926, referred to in our last report, a government with liberal tendencies is still in power. Apparently, this government is anxious to make the lot of the Jews easier, but it is hampered by the fact that it lacks a REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 295 strong backing in the Parliament and must therefore act cautiously if it would remain in power. Although the Jewish deputies in the Sejm are dissatisfied with the lack of progress made in Jewish reforms, it cannot be denied that the Pilsudski government has taken a number of positive and beneficial steps. For one thing, it definitely abolished the illegal numerus clausus instituted arbitrarily by the Minister of Education of a previous regime. It has ameliorated the conditions affecting Sunday closing for Jewish small traders and artisans who employ no help, by permitting them to remain open a few hours on that day. Its educational commission reported against any restriction of enrollment for Jews and recommended the recognition of Yiddish and Hebrew schools which meet certain requirements. The government has also postponed putting into effect the law which sought to deprive their present holders, mostly Jews, of licenses to deal in tobacco and other commodities of state monopoly. It has ruled that trials in which Jews are involved shall not be held on Saturdays or Jewish holidays, and has publicly condemned the antiJewish boycott propaganda. On the other hand, it has not satisfied Jewish demands in three directions, to wit, the admission of Jews to state employment, the abolition of the old Czaristic laws, and the recognition of existing Jewish schools by granting them a subsidy. The undoubted good will of the government could not altogether prevent outbreaks showing that the lower strata of the Polish populace have not suppressed their hatred of the Jews so sedulously cultivated by the Czarist regime and by the Polish reactionaries. There was even a "ritual" murder scare in two towns, but this was quickly cleared up and an official was dismissed for failure to suppresss the agitation with sufficient promptitude. The accusation of well-poisoning was also raised against the Jews, when a number of soldiers in a certain garrison became ill after drinking the water of a nearby well. As might be expected, investigation proved that the water was polluted. In Lemberg, toward the end of June, a student riot in which Jews were beaten and the office of Chwila a Jewish Polish newspaper, was raided, was vigorously suppressed by the police. Recently, the govern- 296 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ment closed the bank established by the anti-Semitic organization, Rozvoj, for the purpose of financing the boycott agitation a'gainst the Jews. An official investigation disclosed that the funds of depositors had been misused and the accounts of the bank falsified. The economic life of the Jews of Poland is still far from satisfactory, but there has been some improvement. The cooperative movement is growing apace, and the funds provided through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee are helping many traders and artisans who lacked neither energy nor skill, but only capital, to become self-sustaining. A suggestion that Jews be helped to go on the land was not welcomed by the government which pointed out that in Poland there was no appreciable amount of vacant arable land. The subject is, however, receiving due consideration. In Lithuania, in the summer of 1926, as a result of a national election, a liberal government came into power. During the life of this government the conditions of the Jews who had been harassed by the preceding reactionary regime, were ameliorated. Documents were brought to light which showed that the former government had itself circulated anti-Jewish propaganda. The new government also took steps to recognize the Jewish schools and to amend the compulsory Sunday rest law which was unnecessarily burdensome in some of its provisions. This liberal government was not long-lived, however, for after scarcely six months of existence it was overthrown in December, 1926, by a coup d' etat executed by Smetona, formerly president of the republic, who established a new cabinet under Professor Valdemaras, which abandoned the liberal policy toward Jews and other minorities. As a result, the present condition of the Jews is no better than it was before June, 1926. 3. ROUMANIA In Roumania the Averescu government, which many had hoped would not pursue the anti-Jewish policies of former regimes, turned out to be even worse than its predecessors. One of its first acts was to reinstate Alexander Cuza, apostle of anti-Semitism, in the faculty of the University REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 297 of Jassy, over the protests of the other members. The offices of Jewish organizations and of individuals were raided and searched, in vain of course, for treasonable documents. No help was extended to the Jewish school system in the educational budget. The numerus clausus was not introduced, but at the baccalaureate examinations for admission to the universities, discrimination was practiced against Russian, Hungarian, or Jewish students, and a virtual numerus clausus was thus effected. The situation was most flagrant in Czernowitz, Bukowina, where seventy per cent of the non-Roumanian students were "flunked." The leaders of a public demonstration which grew into a riot were arrested, and at the court hearing, one Nicholas Totu, a Roumanian student, whipped out a revolver and shot David Falik, one of the accused. This cold-blooded murder created a tremendous sensation and filled the Jews of Bukowina with dread. Many Roumanian lawyers offered to conduct the defense of the murderer, who was acquitted on the ground that his act was the result of "patriotic zeal." After that, the students, appreciating that they were immunized, redoubled their efforts to embitter the lives of Jewish students with the result that in some of the universities a virtual numerus clausus came into effect. This paved the way for the student excesses beginning on December 2, in Kishineff, perpetrated by about three hundred students who were invited to visit the city after attending a student conference at Jassy. En route they had beaten all the Jews traveling on the same train, and at every way station they h#d assaulted Jews who were unlucky enough to be on the platforms. Arrived at Kishineff, they beat up Jews, or those who looked like Jews, in the railway station and then marched to the Cathedral, where a service was held. This was followed by a sightseeing trip, in the course of which they attacked Jews, tore down store-signs, smashed shop windows. Terror reigned in the city, and troops were called to suppress the students. Later, they broke out again, damaging synagogues, dragging Jews off street cars, and beating them. On the way back to the station they encountered a squadron of cavalry which attempted to disperse them, and 298 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK several were thrown down a n d trampled b y the horses. A t the station, t h e y repeated their former tactics. On the way to their homes in other cities, the s t u d e n t s stopped the train a t Kalarash and perpetrated excesses in t h e Jewish q u a r t e r of the town. All over the world these events which were, in t h e beginning, somewhat exaggerated in press reports, aroused indignation, and meetings of protest were held in m a n y countries. T h r o u g h the good offices of M r . William Nelson Cromwell of New York City, President of the organization Friends of Roumania, a meeting was arranged in J a n u a r y last between your President a n d M r . George Cretziano, R o u m a n i a n Minister to the United S t a t e s . At this meeting the situation of the Jews of R o u m a n i a was thoroughly discussed. While regretting the violence with which R o u m a n i a had been a t t a c k e d recently in the press, the R o u m a n i a n Minister a d m i t t e d , to his great regret, t h a t the anti-Semitic p a r t y in R o u m a n i a had violently a n d unjustly attacked the Jews. He was anxious to p u t an end to the unfortunate controversy and he was sure t h a t his gove r n m e n t was desirous of protecting the Jews against t h e a t t a c k s of the anti-Semites. Your President took occasion to m a k e a complete s t a t e m e n t of the grievance of the Jews a n d presented suggestions as to w h a t could be done to p u t a n end to t h e indignities from which t h e y were suffering. T h e Minister received t h e s e / e m a r k s in good p a r t a n d M r . Cromwell endorsed them strongly. T h e Minister requested M r . Marshall to furnish him with a copy of the letter written to Mr. Titulescu a year ago, which is set forth in our T w e n t i e t h Annual Report. M r . Marshall p r o m p t l y complied with this request and correspondence with t h e Roumanian Minister ensued, in the course of which, M r . Marshall from time to time called the Minister's a t t e n t i o n to a n u m b e r of flagrant instances of anti-Jewish propaganda, which the Minister promised to bring to the a t t e n tion of his government. This correspondence follows: REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE I. 299 MR. MARSHALL TO M. CRETZIANO YOUR EXCELLENCY: January 31, 1927. In conformity with your request I am handing you a copy of the letter which I wrote to His Excellency, M. Nicholas Titulescu on January 5, 1926, regarding the relations of the Roumanian Government and the Jews of Roumania. We had previously discussed the subject orally at a small dinner in honor of M. Titulescu at the Lotos Club, at which Hon. Julian W. Mack and Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wise were also present. For that reason their signatures were appended to the letter. M. Titulescu thought it would be helpful if I reduced to writing what I had said orally on the basis of official documents and various books, pamphlets and newspaper publications which I had with me. He sent me a radiogram from the steamship Berengaria on his return voyage to London, in which he said: "Recois momente embarquer votre memoire. Examinerai et transmittrai Gouvernment." I received no further communication from him. I wish to express my great appreciation for the pleasant evening at your apartments and for the fine spirit of cooperation manifested by you and by Mr. Cromwell looking toward an amicable and •effective solution of existing misunderstandings. From my point of view, based on the experience of the United States with its citizenship derived from fifty nationalities, as well as on the conclusions that I have derived from the teachings of history, it is certain that whatever redounds to the happiness of the Jews of Roumania will inure to the welfare of Roumania, and that whatever leads to the prosperity of the country will inevitably bring about the happiness of its people. I know that the Jews of Roumania are loyal to Roumania, as the Jews are to every country in which they live. They have demonstrated this to a remarkable degree in the United States. They are recognized as a great asset. They have developed important industries and are engaged in every form of commeice. The Roumanian Jews who came to this country have become valuable citizens. Those who remain in Roumania will, if given •equality of opportunity and protection against the onslaughts of anti-Semitism, unquestionably prove a blessing to the country. Wherever any considerable part of the citizenry under any government are the victims of discrimination and the objects of hatred, •contempt or suspicion, evils are certain to develop and injury to the nation is sure to follow. The best results have always been consequent upon a spirit of unity and friendship and mutual confidence. I shall be very glad at any time to confer with you further on this subject and to do whatever lies within my power to bring about a complete rapprochement between the various elements of the population of Roumania. The country is rich in natural resources, it is fortunately located, and it has expanded its boundaries and its population to an extraordinary extent. What is most important for its growth and progress is the utilization of its human resources and the favorable opinion of the world. I am, with great respect, Very Cordially yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. 300 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK II. M. CRETZIANO TO MR. MARSHALL. Legatiunea Regalia a Romaniei, Washington, D. C. February 3, 1927. MY DEAR MR. MARSHALL: Let me first express to you my gratitude for your kind note of January 31, 1927, and for the copy of your letter of January 5, 1926, addressed to His Majesty Nicolas Titulescu, the contents of which I did not fail to communicate to my Government, calling their attention to this very important question. In the meantime, through a strange coincidence, as you will see from the enclosed communication, no less than Rabbi Niemirower himself, in his position as Senator by right, declared before the Roumanian Parliament that he "protested and still protests categorically against the exaggerations and the intrigues of foreigners against Roumania," and, therefore, without any doubt confirmed the statement of my Government concerning the campaign lately launched against Roumania in such a violent and subversive spirit. As we are, I hope, due to your splendid reconciliatory spirit, just on the road to new cooperation, hand in hand, for leveling, or, at least, for smoothing the difficulties still existing in this question, permit me (based on the "dementis" always given by the facts, and, this time, by the declarations of such an authority in this matter as Rabbi Niemirower) to suggest that, in future, when such sensational and malicious stories are launched against my Country, I can count on your precious assistance, before starting such a campaign, to previously ask for the established facts, either through me or through the American Minister in Bucharest, or, even directly, through the most authorized co-religionists in Roumania (according to your choice "ad libitum.") I count on your known loyalty, not only in the interest of Roumania, but also, and especially, in the interest of the loyal Jewish population in Roumania, which forms an important part of good Roumanian citizenry. In the hope that our thoughts will meet entirely on this way of loyal and devoted collaboration for the common welfare of the Roumanian Jewish cause, I am, with great consideration. Yours very sincerely, Louis Marshall, Esq., 120 Broadway, New York, N. Y. (Signed) G. CRETZIANO. [Enclosure] COMMUNICATION RECEIVED FROM THE PRESS BUREAU OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGH AFFAIRS IN BUCHAREST, FEBRUARY 1, 1927. The Jewish newspapers of Roumania accentuate the importance of the declarations made by the new Senator, by right, Rabbi Niemirower, before the Roumanian Parliament: "We Israelites living in this Country know how pacific and goodhearted the Roumanian people are. We know that we cannot REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 301 make the Roumanian people responsible for the excesses of an isolated anti-Semitic party. "There is a difference between the Israelites of the Old Kingdom, who are happy to have become entirely Roumanian citizens, and the Israelites of the reunited provinces, who are not all yet in the frame of this Country. I can testify that I have protested and still protest categorically against the exaggerations and the intrigues of foreigners against Roumania." III. MR. MARSHALL TO M. CRETZIANO. FEBRUARY 7, 1927. YOUR EXCELLENCY: I am in receipt of yours of the 3rd inst. containing communication regarding declarations made by Chief Rabbi Niemirower before the Roumanian Parliament. My attention has been previously called to his statement. I am well acquainted with him, having met him in Paris in 1919 during the Peace Conference, and have a very high opinion of him. I have also read editorials from Jewish newspapers, published in Roumania, in which they take exception to publications which have been made in other countries to the effect that there have been pogroms in Roumania. This the articles deny, but they nevertheless call attention to various abuses of the anti-Semites, some of which I referred to in my letter to his Excellency M. Titulescu. I have just received a copy of Curierul Israelit of January 15th, 1927, which I enclose. You will find on the first page a reproduction of a part of a pamphlet which is in general circulation throughout Roumania, of the most obnoxious and dangerous character. It purports to portray a pretended ritual murder, a charge against the Jews which has been exploded over and over again, and which was finally dealt with in the celebrated Beilis case, which was tried in Kief shortly before the war. You will also observe the Swastika, which is the symbol of the anti-Semites. Both Mr. Titulescu and I happen to have had in our possession at the time of our conference copies of this pamphlet, of which the illustration which is reproduced is only one of many others equally offensive and equally calculated to arouse hatred, animosity and intolerance against the Jews. On the third page appears a contrast to the infamous attack made upon the morals and the honor and the loyalty of the Jews. The last page referred to, gives an account of the services held in the Cathedral of St. John of New York, in which I had the honor to participate, at which our Christian fellow-citizens launched a campaign for the raising of funds to help the unfortunate Jews of Eastern Europe who were suffering from disease, famine and extreme poverty. I am confident that you sympathize in every way with that highminded movement launched by Catholics and Protestants in aid of the Jews and at which General Pershing, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the American troops during the late war, General O'Ryan, one of the division commanders of our Army, Dr. Cadman, one of the leading divines of America, and Bishop Man- 302 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ning, the head of the Episcopal Church of New York, participated. These gentlemen know what the Jews have done and are doing for America and their testimony should be accepted all over the world. In the address which I delivered on that occasion I said that it was entirely unimportant whether the campaign which they were conducting would result in small or large contributions, the very fact that it was demonstrated that the people of the United States treated the Jews as on an equality and as human beings, was all sufficient. I fully appreciate the importance of preventing the spread of sensational stories reflecting upon Roumania, and that it is necessary that the exact facts be in every case ascertained. I shall be happy to cooperate with you in this direction. The best way, however, of preventing misunderstanding is to avoid the occasion of it.. The Government of Roumania is powerful enough to prevent such libels of a whole people as those to which I have called your attention and the other abuses which have been particularized. When that has been accomplished then a friendly feeling, coupled with one of appreciation and gratitude, will take the place of that discontent and unhappiness which now exists. Mischief-makers, whoever they may be, would thereby be disarmed. With best regards to you, Very cordially yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. IV. M. CRETZIANO TO MR. MARSHALL. Legatiunea Regalia a Romaniei, Washington, D. C. February 9, 1927. MY DEAR MR. MARSHALL: Many thanks for your letter of February 7th, the contents of which interested me in a high degree. I was very pleased to see that you know personally and appreciate Chief Rabbi Niemirower who, as a Senator by right, high minded and moderate as he is, will be able to obtain much for the amelioration of the Jews in Roumania. I think that the fact that our new Constitution has provided for a permanent seat in the Senate for a representative of the Jewish religion means real progress. I trust that rest will come by degrees with mutual good will. It would certainly be an ideal to see one day in Roumania, manifestations of human solidarity like the one which took place in the Cathedral of St. John in New York, as detailed by "Curierul Israelit" that you sent me. This is the future which I hope to see one day, and if not I, at least my children may see it. I must confess that the present as discussed in the first page of said paper is very far from it, but one must not despair. I wired to my Government, drawing its attention on the infamous anti-semitic libels, and I hardly can imagine that no measures have been taken to prevent their circulation. I also trust that my Gov- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 303 ernment will give full attention to the remarks contained in your memoir to Minister Titulescu, of which I sent him a copy. In my opinion it would constitute a good base for discussions between the government and the Chief Rabbi. Very cordially yours, (Signed) G. CRETZIANO. V. MR. MARSHALL TO M. CRETZIANO. March 5, 1927. YOUR EXCELLENCY: Availing myself further of your suggestion that I bring to your attention my additional information that I may have regarding the treatment accorded the Jews of Roumania, I enclose a translation of a number of newspaper articles and manifestos which have been circulated recently in Roumania. They include an article which appeared in Carpatii, the organ of the Christian League of National Defense, the head of which I understand to be Mr. Cuza. This article, of which I can send you a photostatic copy, is entitled "UCIDE," which I understand to mean "Kill." By this publication the readers are incited to kill the Jews. They are told that to do so is not a crime, but "the greatest honor of the Roumanians." So far as I have been able to learn nothing has been done by the Government to deal with so incendiary a document or to punish the offenders. What does silence under these circumstances portend? Would not one infer that silence gives consent? The next article is a manifesto issued by the Committee of the Christian League in Bucharest, which asks Christians to rid the country of Jews, "who," it is said, "like spiders, suck the blood and vitality out of the poor Roumanian Christian, who is struggling to extricate himself from the clutches of death." The third is a manifesto issued by another section of the League and distributed in the various towns and villages, which seeks to arouse animosity and hatred against the Jews among the various classes of Roumanian citizens. Still another urges Roumanians to employ the economic boycott against the Jews. All this is most painful, because there can be no doubt that the constant repetition and reiteration of foul slanders and libels and appeals to hatred and prejudice, cannot result otherwise than in infinite harm to the State as well as to the individual. As you know, it is my earnest desire to bring about a friendly feeling between the Roumanian Government and the Jews. But you must concede that an unreproved and unpunished continuance of such dangerous appeals and incitements as those to which I have called your attention in my several communications, cannot but alarm the Jews of Roumania and arouse the indignation of the Jews and all right-thinking men and women everywhere. With best regards, I am, Very cordially yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. 304 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK VI. M. CRETZIANO TO MR. MARSHALL. Legatiunea Regala a Romaniei, Washington, D. C. March 8, 1927. Louis MARSHALL, ESQ., 120 Broadway, New York, N. Y. MY DEAR MR. MARSHALL: As soon as I received your letter of March 5, I cabled its contents to Bucharest, drawing the attention of my Government to the facts related. I could not certify that these new and regrettable manifestations are not partly a consequence of the campaign started abroad against Roumania under the pretext of pogroms, a pretext which has, at last, been abandoned, as it appears to me from the reports of the Jewish Congress in Washington, after having been carried on for three months at several meetings and assemblies, in order to raise the public opinion and to provide the intervention of the American Government. At any rate, my Government has taken measures to prevent any excesses on the part of students against the Jewish population, as results from the enclosed letter (rendered public) of the Premier General Averescu to the Minister of Public Instruction, and I hope that no new incidents will occur, as the Jewish question in Roumania can be solved only in an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Very cordially yours (Signed) GEORGE CRETZIANO, Minister of Roumania. [Enclosure] ROMANOLEG, WASHINGTON. I transmit to you the following note addressed by the Prime Minister to the Minister of Public Instruction: "Mr. Minister: I beg to bring to the knowledge of all the students in the country —by the means which you will deem advisable—to abstain from all manifestations. The Government has no need of any help— outside of the legal means at its disposal—to guarantee the national interests as well as the public order and any inmixtion on the part of the uncalled for is illegal and cannot but be punished with all the severity of the laws. It is well not to forget that in several parts of the country, including the capital, the guaranteeing of peace and order imposes upon us the necessity of maintaining the martial law which does not admit any exception and the government has no right to depart from the general rule in anyone's favor. [Signed] GENERAL AVERESCU." MITILINEU REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE VII. 305 MR. MARSHALL TO M. CRETZIANO. March 10, 1927. YOUR EXCELLENCY: I am in receipt of yours of the 8th instant and am glad to learn that you have cabled the contents of my letter of March 5th to Bucharest. I also note the communication addressed by the Roumanian Prime Minister General Averescu to the Minister of Public Instruction, which urges the latter to bring to the knowledge of the Roumanian students the desire on the part of the Government that they abstain from all manifestations against the Jewish population. It is particularly pleasing to observe the statement that the Roumanian Government "has no need of any help, outside of the legal means at its disposal, to guarantee the national interests as well as the public order" and that any intrusion on the part of the students is uncalled for and illegal and must be punished with all the severity of the laws. To my mind this is an evidence of the adoption of a sound policy. It is a recognition by the Government that it has the power to prevent the objectionable manifestations that have taken place and that it can and will protect the public interests and maintain public order. Referring to that part of your letter in which you intimate that the manifestations referred to may partly result from action taken abroad against Roumania, I can only say that Roumania is too great a nation to permit the action of a small number of irresponsible hotheads to lead her to justify the shameful treatment to which the Jews of Roumania have been subjected, not merely by irresponsible hotheads, but by cool, calculating anti-Semites like Prof. Cuza and his political party. As you know, I have deplored the actions of the men to whom you have referred and have been diligent in seeking to counteract their proceedings. I am not a member of the American Jewish Congress. Nevertheless I have used my influence in such a way as to moderate, at least, the action that it was intended by these hotheads to take at the Jewish Congress. I am sure that through your good offices and those of Mr. Cromwell, and of the enlightened men of Roumania who appreciate that the welfare of their beloved country depends upon the maintenance of mutual confidence and cooperation by all of the citizens of the country, so that its prosperity and happiness may be advanced by the prosperity and happiness of its entire population, the misunderstandings of the past will speedily disappear. You have my positive assurance that the great body of Jews in the United States entertains these views and will not be carried away by the ill-considered words or acts of a small group. You will appreciate, however, that every right-thinking Jew in this country is greatly concerned in everything that pertains to the welfare of his coreligionists in Roumania, that he is not indifferent to any suffering or injustice to which they may be subjected, and that he regards the outbursts of anti-Semitism as directed not only against the 306 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Jews of Roumania, but against the Jews everywhere. He has, however, an abiding conviction that if Roumania exercises the powers which she possesses as a great nation, she will be able in short order to put an end to all complaints, and to benefit not only from the loyal support, the intelligence and the industry of her own Jews, but also from the friendship, appreciation and respect of the Jews of America. Since dictating the above I have received yours of the 10th instant, in which you inform me that you received a cablegram from Premier General Averescu stating that three consecutive numbers of "Carpatzi," containing incitation to murder, have been confiscated by the police, and that a new bill relating to the press is to be proposed shortly in order to deal with like abuses. I am gratified beyond words at this evidence of what has been done and of what is intended to be done, and I congratulate you upon the part that you have taken in bringing about such prompt action. With best regards, I am. Very cordially yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL. His Excellency, M. George Cretziano, Roumanian Legation, Washington, D. C. VIII. M. CRETZIANO TO MR. MARSHALL. LAGATIUNEA REGALA A ROMANIEI, WASHINGTON, D. C. March 10, 1927. My DEAR MR. MARSHALL: Continuing my letter of March 8th, I am glad to inform you that, today, I received a cablegram from Premier General Averescu stating that, by his order, three consecutive numbers of the paper "Carpatzi," containing incitation to murder, were confiscated by the police. I understand that more could not be done due to the actual state of our press legislation, but a new bill on this matter will be proposed shortly, in order to limit the abuse of excessive liberty in publications. Yours very cordially, (Signed) GEORGE CRETZIANO, Minister of Roumania. After the fall of the Averescu cabinet, early last summer, it transpired that Octavian Goga, a poet, who had been Minister of the Interior, had not concealed his satisfaction with the anti-Jewish agitation and outbreaks regarding them with the enthusiasm of a perverted nationalist. The present government, headed by loan Bratianu, came into power after a national election held last July, REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 307 preceding which Jewish leaders reached an understanding with Bratianu that the government, in return for the suffrages of the Jews, and their support in Parliament, would grant certain of their demands. Nine out of the ten anti-Semites including Cuza who served in the preceding Parliament, were re-elected. Eight Jews were, however, elected to parliament, four to the Senate and four, including Dr. William Filderman, to the Chamber of Deputies. It remains to be seen how this compact will be observed. Within the past fortnight the Roumanian Ministry has rendered a most important decision which involves the immediate reopening of all Jewish schools which were closed by the Averescu Government; granting the right to all Jewish schools to observe Saturday and annulling a contrary regulation of the former government; the taking of such steps as will accelerate favorable action upon the demands of the Jewish schools for conformity with the requirement of the public law with respect to Jewish schools. This is a progressive step which augurs well for the future. 4. RUSSIA In Russia, anti-Semitism is spreading among the workers. The communist press frequently refers to the matter and urges the Soviet government to embark upon a campaign against it. Lunacharsky, People's Commissar for Education, delivered a public address on the subject. Bucharin, members of the Executive of the Party, placed much of the blame for the spread of the plague on so-called Jewish jokes. A conference of Jewish workingmen in the Kiev District held last March, expressed deep concern over the matter Numerically Jews are not active in the Soviet government. Last December, official figures were published showing that only 30,000 Jews are members of the Party, in a membership of over a million. At the end of April when the Communist Party held its elections, no Jew was chosen on the Council of People's Commissars (Cabinet) of eleven, and only twenty of the 450 members elected to the Central Executive Committee of the Party are of Jewish birth. 308 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK After the breach in Anglo-Russian relations last spring there was a marked increase in anti-Jewish propaganda from monarchist sources, which sought to fix the blame for the breach upon the Jews. In the Ukraine this was so noticeable that a committee of Jews appealed to the authorities to stamp it out. August 30, 1927, marked the completion of three years of activity by the Comzet, the government commission for the settlement of Jews on the land. According to a report rendered at that time, a total of 15,729 Jewish families, from 60,000 to 75,000 souls, have been settled on the land under the supervision of this Commission. According to the recent report of Dr. Joseph Rosen, agent of the American Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation (Agro-Joint) a total of 35,000 Jewish families have settled in 180 agricultural-colonies; of this number 27,000 were assisted by the Agro-Joint. The total area devoted to this purpose was 295,917 desiatin, or. about 800,000 acres, in thirteen regions. The cost of this work borne by public agencies was 13,656,000 gold roubles, of which 7,349,000 were contributed by the Agro-Joint, which is financed by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee; the State contributed 2,403,000 roubles, besides 2,993,000 from bank credits and other government sources, while the balance, 1,011,000 roubles came from the lea and the Ort. According to many witnesses, the colonies are in a throving condition; the success of this project has greatly encouraged the various cooperating agencies, and the work is to be continued. During the past few months, the Hilfsverein der Deutschen Juden has decided also to cooperate in this work. In the meantime, the Soviet government, appreciating that it cannot reconstitute the economic life of the Jews solely on the basis of land settlement, has begun to take steps to assist them to enter industry, and instructions to that effect have been given to the Comzet. 5. PALESTINE Among the most important happenings having to do with Palestine were the passage by the British Parliament of an act authorizing the floating of a loan of $22,500,000 by REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 309 the Palestine government, to be guaranteed as to principal and interest by the British treasury, for railroad, telephone, highway, harbor, and other improvements; the establishment by Nathan Straus of a Health Center in Jerusalem and of a Children's Sanitarium at Tel Aviv; and the founding, by Nathan Lamport of New York, of a Free Loan Association. On the other hand, there has existed an unemployment crisis due in part to credit inflation and over-activity in urban building, themselves the result of too rapid immigration. During the past year, the government finally approved the organization of the Palestine Electric Company, which has control of the so-called Rutenberg Concession for the generation of power from the Jordan and its tributaries. The Palestine Economic Corporation of the United States announced that it had expected to participate to the extent of £150,000 (approximately $750,000) in the completion of the hydro-electric station on the River Jordan. The Corporation also decided during the year to make available $200,000 for credits to workingmen for the building of homes in Palestine, to place $100,000 with the central bank and cooperative institutions in Jerusalem for loans to agricultural and other groups in Palestine; and to buy certain obligations of Jewish farmers to the Keren Hayesod so as to make additional operating capital available for the latter. All of these decisions have not as yet been carried into effect. Although not much more than two years has elapsed since the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus was dedicated, the progress that has been achieved in the development of that Institution as shown in the announcement issued by the University in May, 1927, has been substantial. The furthest advanced department in the University is, naturally enough, the Institute of Jewish Studies, which has a considerable endowment, and has been able to secure a larger Faculty than any other department. While not yet completely organized, it has added during the past year, lectureships in mediaeval Hebrew poetry and Jewish sociology, and in co-operation with the Jewish Exploration Society and Institutions in America, has also carried on interesting archaeological researches. The School of Ori- 310 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK ental Studies has undertaken two pieces of research work in the realm of Arabic literature and Islamic culture. The Institute of Microbiology has made some useful discoveries which while adding to the world's fund of knowledge on parasites peculiar to Palestine, have also been of practical benefit to the country and its population. Good work has also been begun by the Institute of Chemistry and of Palestine Natural History. The Department of Hygiene, which is being supported partially from funds received through the American Joint Distribution Committee, has been engaged in researches connected with the sandfly fever, typhoid, dysentery and malaria. The Institute of Mathematics was opened at the beginning of the present academic year. The University Library which, in 1920, had 32,000 volumes on its shelves, now has 180,000, and has been named official depository for the publications issued by the League of Nations, the World Court, and other important public bodies. A new building to house this collection is now in course of construction. During the year further progress was made toward the proposed enlargement of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, to include non-Zionists. In January, an agreement was reached between Doctor Chaim Weitzmann, President of the International Zionist Organization and Louis Marshall, Chairman of the Non-Partisan Conference of American Jews, to Consider Palestine Problems, whereby as a preliminary step a joint commission was to be designated "to make a thorough survey and investigation of conditions in Palestine, including an expert study of the resources and of the agricultural, industrial, commercial and other economic possibilities of Palestine and neighboring territory and to acquire a complete conspectus of Jewish activities and achievements in the Holy Land." Later in the year the Commission, consisting of Sir Alfred Mond of London, England, Doctor Oscar Wasserman of Berlin, and Messrs. Felix M. Warburg and Doctor Lee K. Frankel of New York City was appointed, and aided by a staff of experts began the investigation. The experts include: Professor Elwood Mead, Agriculture; Professor Jacob G. Lipman, Agricul- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 311 ture; Professor Frank Adams, Agriculture; Professor Knowles A. Ryerson, Agriculture; Professor A. T. Strahorn, Agriculture; Mr. C. K. Henriques, Water Supply and Irrigation; Dr. Leo Wolman, Labor-Industry; Sir John Campbell, Colonization; Dr. Ernst Kahn,-Banking; Price, Waterhouse & Co., Accountants; Mr. R. D. Kesselman, Accountant; Dr. Maurice B. Hexter, Secretary to the American Commissioners; Dr. Milton J. Rosenau, Public Health; Dr. Charles F. Wilinsky, Public Health. The Terms of Reference and the accompanying specifications giving in detail the lines along which the survey is to be made are given in full. Upon the basis of the report of the experts and of the Commission which will be ready by the spring of 1928, it is expected that the program of work to be undertaken by the Jewish Agency will be arranged and steps taken to effect the proposed enlargement of the Agency. 6. THE RIGHTS OF MINORITIES In our Nineteenth Annual Report attention was called to the fact that in the summer of 1925 the President of the Committee, while at Geneva, submitted to the Secretariat of the Council of the League of Nations a memorandum in which he called attention to the desirability of amending the procedure with respect to the presentation of complaints on behalf of minorities of infractions of the so-called Minority Treaties and urged that wherever the Government against which complaint might be made had lodged an answer to the complaint, the terms of such answer should be communicated to the complainants, who in turn should be permitted to reply to it and to indicate wherein they agreed or disagreed with the Government's contentions as to the law or the facts, and that they should likewise be made cognizant of the conclusion reached by the so-called Committee of Three appointed by the Council to consider the complaint. It is gratifying to know that this subject has received attention from the International Law Association, an organization composed of experts in that branch of the law. The suggested amendment in procedure was fully set 312 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK forth in the address of R. E. L. Vaughan Williams, Esq., C h a i r m a n of the committee of the Association dealing with t h e subject of Minorities. A sub-committee consisting of Prof. Brunet, Professor of the Faculty of Law of Caen, a n d of Mile. M a r t h e H u e t , submitted a report to like effect. T h e r e u p o n the following resolution was a d o p t e d : " T h e Committee, convinced of the a d v a n t a g e s of p u b licity in respect to petitions on behalf of minorities, urges t h e Council tihat it shall provide t h a t answers s u b m i t t e d b y Governments be communicated to the petitioners, and t h a t they m a y , if they so desire, present their c o m m e n t s on such answers." T h e manifest fairness of such amended procedure will, it is confidently hoped, be recognized b y the League of Nations. If the proposed change should be adopted, it will a d d to the effectiveness of the Treaties a n d go far toward t h e elimination of existing difficulties in respect to their enforcement. 7. TURKEY A t the preceding Annual Meeting your C o m m i t t e e referred to the action taken in August, 1926, b y a group of Jews in T u r k e y . Following negotiations with t h e T u r k i s h G o v e r n m e n t on the subject of the reorganization of Jewish communities in T u r k e y , this group of so-called Notables adopted resolutions proclaiming " t h e complete renunciation b y Turkish Jewry of all national minority rights guaranteed by the T r e a t y of L a u s a n n e . " A t t h a t time your Presid e n t characterized this to be a blow a t the principle of t h e rights of minorities a n d as not only utterly futile b u t unspeakably cowardly and disgraceful as well, a n d expressed the belief t h a t b y taking this action the Jewish notables had placed in jeopardy the welfare of the entire Jewish population. Since t h a t time, reports which have been received from T u r k e y indicate t h a t the situation of the Jews has become difficult in the extreme, and t h a t they have undergone numerous vexations as a result of a strong chauvinisticnationalistic movement. Charges of disloyalty have been t r u m p e d u p against t h e m a n d a newspaper campaign of REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 313 vilification has been going on. Whereas, Greek, German and other tongues are permitted as languages in the schools of minorities, and the Ashkenazic community is permitted to use German in its schools, the use of Spaniola (a JudeoSpanish tongue prevalent among the Sephardic Jews,) is restricted in schools maintained by them. The right to travel freely throughout the country possessed by all other Turkish nationals is withheld from the Jews, who are required to secure special passports every time they wish to proceed from the cities into the interior, and these passports are obtained only with difficulty. Although many Jews are engaged in commerce and trade, not a single Jew is a member of a Chamber of Commerce. It is also practically impossible for a Jew to enter the legal profession, as all candidates, after passing an examination are required to serve for two years as clerks to a government official, and the government accepts only "real," i. e., Moslem Turks for such clerkships. Annoying obstacles have also hampered Jewish effort in commercial and other fields of activity. In short, the Jews who have always been and still are one of the most loyal and useful sections of the population of Turkey are being degraded to second class citizenship in violation of the obligations which the Turkish Republic assumed when it entered into the Treaty of Lausanne. 8. EMERGENCY WORK FOR JEWISH REFUGEES In our report last year we referred to the condition of those intending immigrants who were stranded in various European ports because of the drastic reduction of the quotas from the countries from which they had emigrated, and we informed you that their distress had been considerably relieved, thanks to the work of an Evacuation Committee established in Europe by the American Emergency Committee for Jewish Refugees, which comprises representatives of various Jewish organizations in this country, including the American Jewish Committee. For the purpose of making accessible a further record of these activities attention is called to the following additional facts:— During the year, the work of settling these stranded 314 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK refugees located in various centers and ports in Europe has gone on apace, and the latest report of Doctor Bernhard Kahn, the representative on the Evacuation Committee of the American Emergency Committee, shows that the number of such stranded refugees has diminished considerably, and, except for those in Bucharest, almost to the vanishing point. Some of them were repatriated, others were permitted to remain in the countries of their temporary sojourn, while still others were enabled to start life anew in other lands. Doctor Kahn advises us that there is every reason to believe that during the coming year this phase of the refugee problem will have been liquidated. The work of the Emergency Committee on behalf of the immigrants, some 5,000 in number, who were induced by steamship agents to go to Cuba, was continued during 1927, though on a reduced scale. These immigrants have now been in Cuba from three to six years, and through aid extended to them successively by the Joint Distribution Committee, the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, the Council of Jewish Women and, for the past three years, by the Emergency Committee, they have been materially assisted to become self-supporting and to adjust themselves to their new surroundings. For almost three years, the Committee has had a well-equipped office in Havana under competent leadership, in close touch, at all times, with the immigrants, serving their needs in almost every direction. They have been aided with temporary immediate relief, have been taught trades; schools for both children and adults have been created for general educational purposes, and, in the case of adults, there have been classes in Spanish, the language of the country. A selfsupport fund has been made available to such men and women as required a loan to start a business on their own account, and, above all, it was the aim of the Committee, through its director in Cuba, to organize the community in such a way that it would begin to function, as most organized communities do, for their own religious, social and philanthropic needs. During the past year such a community organization has been established and gives promise that within a reasonable period of time, it will become adequate to meet the needs of the population. REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 315 Aside from the desirability of ending the supervision of the Committee over the activities of the local community and training it to meet their own responsibilities and problems, it may be fairly said that after several years' residence in Cuba, this group of the Jewish population of Cuba can no longer be dealt with as immigrants. They have had several years of residence in their new home, and while their material progress has been necessarily slow, their problems can no longer be regarded as requiring the type of help which the Emergency Committee was organized to render. Doubtless, there is still occasion for continuing in their behalf some of the activities hitherto conducted, it is also true that the Cuban activities of the Emergency Committee have already consumed a considerable share of the entire fund raised by the Committee for all purposes, including that of helping the many thousands of stranded refugees in Europe—and latterly of those who have settled in Mexico. After a thorough investigation, completed in September of this year, the Committee decided to adhere to its original program, to liquidate its Cuban activities by November 1, 1927, a decision which was communicated to the Cuban community in the latter part of 1926. However, the Committee voted to continue some of the more important activities, but on a reduced scale, for a further period ending November 1, 1928. The almost complete exhaustion of the funds raised by the Emergency Committee has made it impossible to pursue any other course. In 1925, the Independent Order B'nai B'rith established a Bureau in Mexico City, to aid recently arrived refugee immigrants who had been induced by steamship company agents to go there. They required aid to adjust themselves to their new surroundings and to tide them over the period of their adjustment. Upon representation of a committee of the I. O. B. B. and after careful investigation by a representative of the Emergency Committee, who was sent to Mexico for that purpose, the Committee granted a subsidy of $50,000 to the I. O. B. B. to enable its Bureau more thoroughly to carry out its program on behalf of the refugee immigrants, utilizing the grant made by the Emergency Committee almost exclusively for the creation of a selfsupport and loan fund. Doctor Boris D. Bogen, executive 316 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK secretary of the I.O. B. B., is directing the work of the Mexico Bureau. His reports of the progress of the immigrants along all lines is most encouraging, and indicates that by the end of another year, the need for continuing the bureau will have disappeared. C. ORGANIZATION MATTERS 1. DEATHS The Executive Committee is grieved to report that since our last meeting, five members passed away. These were Julius Levy of Baltimore, Maryland, who died on November 22, 1926, Jules E. Mastbaum of Philadelphia, who died on December 7, 1926, A. J. Sunstein of Pittsburgh, who died on December 8, 1926, Horace J. Wolf of Rochester, who died on February 17, 1927, and C. D. Spivak of Denver, who died on October 16, 1927. On behalf of the Committee, the Executive Committee has adopted the following resolutions as expressive of the esteem in which these men were held by us and by the community at large: Julius Levy of Baltimore The Executive Committee of the American Jewish Committee has learned with deep sorrow of the death of Julius Levy of Baltimore, Maryland, a member of the General Committee since 1920. Mr. Levy always took an active interest in the organization, responding to all calls for aid or advice, and gave the Committee at all times the full benefit of his influence and standing in his own community. The Committee regards his death as a distinct loss, and extends to his widow its sympathy in their bereavemept. Jules E. Mastbaum of Philadelphia The Executive Committee of the American Jewish Committee has learned with deep sorrow of the death of Jules E. Mastbaum of Philadelphia, Pa., who was a member at large of the Committee since 1922. Mr. Mastbaum was beloved by the entire population of his native city, which profoundly mourned the sudden death of a distinguished citizen. He was a leader in Jewish educational and philanthropic activities both here and abroad, giving to them without stint of REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 317 his means and his time. It has truly been said of him that while his public benefactions were numerous, his private benevolences were conducted on a large scale of which only a few intimate friends were aware. He was a man of great personal charm with a genius for friendship. During the years of his membership in this Committee, he was keenly interested in and contributed generously to its work. The Committee regards his death at the early age of 54 as a great loss not only to the Jewish people, but to humanity as a whole. We extend to his mother, his widow, and his children, a sincere expression of our sense of loss and of our sympathy with them in their bereavement. A. J. Sunstein of Pittsburgh The Executive Committee of the American Jewish Committee has learned with deep sorrow of the death of A. J. Sunstein of Pittsburgh, a member of the Committee since 1923. Mr. Sunstein was highly respected and esteemed in his own city, being an active worker in its commercial and philanthropic affairs. At the same time, he was deeply interested in the welfare of his co-religionists in all parts of the world, and was an active member of the Committee, participating in its councils and extending material support to its work. We extend to his family our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. Horace J. Wolf of Rochester The Committee has learned with deep sorrow of the death of Rabbi Horace J. Wolf of Rochester, New York, a member of the Committee since 1917. Rabbi Wolf was regarded with affection and esteem by the people of Rochester, of which city he had been a public-spirited citizen since 1910, participating actively as a member and officer in many civic and philanthropic bodies. His splendid services to the community at large endeared him to Jew and Gentile alike, and he was a noble representative of the best qualities of Jewish manhood. We extend to his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy. C. D. Spivak of Denver The Executive Committee of the American Jewish Committed has learned with deep sorrow of the death of Doctor 318 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK Charles D. Spivak of Denver, Colorado, a member of the Committee since 1914. As a physician, Doctor Spivak devoted his entire life to the alleviation of suffering. He was especially interested in the condition of the Jewish tuberculous and for the last twenty-three years of his life served unselfishly as a member of the medical staff as well as secretary of the Jewish Consumptives Relief Society of Denver. At the same time he maintained an active interest in Jewish community life, and helped to promote all constructive causes. He spent a considerable period in Poland in connection with the medical work of the Joint Distribution Committee where he rendered meritorious service. His death removes from our midst a man of lovable personality and a self-sacrificing humanitarian. We extend to his family the sincere expression of our heartfelt sympathy. 2.

Your Committee regrets that it cannot report more than partial success. The total of new sustaining members enrolled was 490, and their aggregate contribution $13,498.83. In addition, 233 former contributors who in 1926 gave $2,923.50, this year gave $6,554.00, a net increase from this source of $3,630.50. The cost of these accretions which are to a great extent, likely to be repeated annually was $4,456.19, covering salaries, printing, postage, mailing, etc. Your Committee has reached the conclusion that it needs a permanent Membership Secretary, whose sole function shall be, under the supervision of the Finance Committee, to carry on continuously the work of enlisting new Sustaining Members and obtaining from other sources as well, the funds needed for the support of the Committee. Following is a list of the Districts showing the total amount received from each during the fiscal year just closed, compared with the total contributed during the preceding year: District Territory Contributions Received for Fiscal Year Ended Oct. 31, 1926 Florida, Georgia, N o r t h Carolina, South Carolina II.

These increases were due to the personal efforts of members and sustaining members in these districts. In District Number VI, which includes the State of Michigan, the amount for 1927 is actually greater by $2,500 than the amount stated above. An arrangement, however, has been made for quarterly installments of the contribution of the Detroit Jewish Welfare Federation of $3,333.33, and only one-fourth of this had been paid at the time this report was made up. Much of the increase in District Number XII was a result of the personal efforts of Mr. David M. Bressler. In District Number XIV, the increase noted was due almost entirely to the contribution from Mr. Felix Fuld. In connection with the Census of Jewish organizations which the Committee has been financing, several contributions are deserving of special notice here. The New York Foundation, which has cooperated with the Committee on several previous occasions agreed to contribute $3,500, onetenth of the estimated cost of the work. Other special contributions, made in view of the increasing needs of the Committee, were $3,333.33 from the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, Michigan, $2,000 from Mr. Felix Fuld, of Newark, New Jersey, $500 from Mr. Paul Baerwald, $500 from Mr. Henry Ittleson, $250 of which is to be regarded as an annual contribution, $200 from Mr. Ludwig Vogelstein, of which $100 is to be regarded as an annual contribution, $500 from Mr. Joseph Leblang, $700 from Mr. Felix M. Warburg, of which $200 is to be regarded as an annual con- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 323 tribution, and $400 from Mr. A. M. Heinsheimer, $200 of which is to be regarded as an annual contribution. The report of the auditor of the Committee's accounts is appended to this report. It shows that there were received from Sustaining and Contributing members a total of $35,865.03. The contribution of $2,000 from the New York Foundation, interest on bank balances and income from other sources totalled $2,148.13, making a total of $38,013.16. Of this sum $17,699.38 was expended for the maintenance of the Committee's office. This amount does not include 4,456.19 which was the cost of the effort to increase the sustaining membership and revenues; expenditures for other purposes include: 1. The Committee's appropriation to the Bureau of Jewish Social Research. . . 8,500.00 2. Our contribution to the Foreign Language Information Service 500.00 3. Miscellaneous expenses in connection with compilation of the American Jewish Year Book 156.86 4. Expenses in connection with the printing and distribution of pamphlet on Henry Ford's retraction and apology 1,624.92 5. The cost of the Census Work 5,832.82 6. Salary of Committee's agent at Geneva.. 750.00 7. Miscellaneous Special expenses 254.28 The total expenses paid and accrued were Being in excess of the receipts of the year. $39,774.45 138,013.16 By $1,761.29 Since the close of the fiscal year, however, the sum of $3,730 has been received from Chicago, as a result of the efforts of Mr. Rosenwald, and $1,393 has been received from the State of Connecticut as a result of the efforts of the district members in that State. Furthermore, there are still $2,500 due on account of the contribution of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, and $1,500 due on account of the appropriation of the New York Foundation. Had 324 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK these sums been received before the close of the fiscal year, there would have been a credit balance of $7,361.71. Your Committee takes this occasion to thank all those who contributed toward its support, and especially those members who made personal efforts to secure contributions. It is hoped that the example of these members will be followed by others during the coming year, to the end that the Committee may be able to carry forward the important tasks upon which it is engaged or may during the year assume. Respectfully submitted, The Executive Committee. APPENDIX I CENSUS OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS HARRY S. LINFIELD, Ph.D., Director, Department of Information and Statistics. Bureau of Jewish Social Reserch. 1. T H E PROGRESS OF THE WORK.—The census of the Jewish denomination is a part of the United States decennial census of the denominations of the country. The preliminary work of the census of Jewish denomination began in June, 1925. In April, 1926, Doctor Cyrus Adler, accompanied by the writer, conferred with the United States Director of the Census, and at this conference the work of the census of the Jewish denomination was arranged. Early in July, 1926, the writer was appointed United States Agent. In October, 1926, a memorandum on the probable cost of the census of Jews, totaling $30,000, was presented to the American Jewish Committee. Finally, in April, 1927, a staff was employed and the actual work of the census begun. 2. THE IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVES.—The census of the Jewish denomination seeks primarily to ascertain the names and addresses of Jewish bodies (congregational, educational, charitable, social, etc.), together with certain other data including "membership," and the names and addresses of rabbis. For us the work involves the following: (a) Supply to the Government of correct and full information on the Jewish denomination for the Government's forthcoming publication on the denominations in the United States; (b) The revision of our own directories of Jewish national organizations, of local organizations, of rabbis, etc.; (c) The gathering of statistics of Jews in the country and their distribution. Recently it has been decided to add: (d) The publication in the forthcoming American Jewish Year Book of two articles to be written by Doctor Linfield which will summarize the results of the census. REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 325 3. THE WORK COMPLETED.—By November 8, 1927, a total of 3,145 schedules were received: 2,508 from congregations and other Jewish societies; 462 schedules giving the number of Jews in the towns but stating that there are no Jewish societies in those towns; and 175 schedules conveying the information that the Jewish societies about which we inquired are out of existence, or never existed, or are private organizations, and the like. The schedules received from the Jewish organizations contain information about their respective branch societies, or affiliated societies, if any. Numerous schedules sent to us by federations, national organizations, and important local organizations contain lists of non-affiliated societies known to them to exist in their respective cities. The field work is not yet completed, but we hope to complete it by the middle of December. In the meantime the schedules are being edited and transcribed with the view to tabulation and summarizing. 4. OUR SPECIFIC TASKS AT THE PRESENT MOMENT.—In addition to the editing of the schedules and their transcription, the following tasks specially engage our attention at the present time: (a) Census of Jews in Small Communites. In 1916 only 825 localities reported Jewish inhabitants. Our lists of such localities have increased to 2,300, as a result of the cooperation of the Jewish national organizations and our use of directories. This figure is exclusive of over 1,000 rural places (towns of 2,500 inhabitants or less). Each of the urban or rural places on our lists contains the name of a Jewish resident with whom we correspond. Concerning the towns which have small Jewish communities, but task is to find out, through correspondents, the number of Jews in the localities which are on our lists and to estimate, by the use of statistical methods, the number of Jews in the localities which are not on our lists. Special attention is being paid to those localities which are sitnated in territory adjacent to large cities. (b) Census of Jews in Large Communities. The ascertainment of the number of Jews in the large Jewish communities offer difficulties. This is especially the case with the City of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and seven or eight other cities, having 50,000 Jews or more. To date, information is available, to determine, on the basis of school attendance, the number of Jews in the following cities: New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Dr. Mann of Chicago has promised to send data for the City of Chicago. No such data will be available for the cities of Baltimore and Los Angeles. The case of a few other cities is not yet determined. Our present task is to examine all the available statistical information for each city which has a large number of Jewish inhabitants, with a view to determining the number of Jews on the basis of all the data which is available for the respective cities. (c) Enumeration of Jewish Organizations. It is our plan to use canvassers to complete the enumeration of the Jewish organizations in the ten or eleven large communities, namely, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Newark, and possibly Los Angeles. The preliminary work of the preparation of our lists of Jewish societies by the use of city directories, etc., has been completed. We are now engaged in zoning those cities and in allocating the Jewish societies to their respective zones. Each can- 326 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK yasser, when engaged, will be assigned a zone or zones together with a list of the known Jewish organization situated therein, so that he may be in a position to verify and to complete our information and to search out new Jewish societies. In all cities other than the eleven cities enumerated above, we are enlisting the services of a correspondent for the work of verifying and completing our information and for searching out new organizations. 5. CO-OPERATION WITH JEWISH ORGANIZATION.—We are continuing to receive the co-operation of Jewish organizations, specifically the national organizations, the federations, and important local organizations. The growth of our lists of Jewish societies and of towns having Jewish inhabitants, was due chiefly to their co-operation. At present we are especially calling on the co-operation of the Rabbis in the various communities. 6. COMPLETION OF THE WORK.—The actual work of the census did not start until April 1, 1927. Only a portion of the work could be done during the summer months. Since the fall our staff has been greatly enlarged and the writer has been giving a great deal of his time to the work. It is hoped to complete the work by the end of the present calendar year. APPENDIX II JOINT PALESTINE SURVEY COMMISSION TERMS OF REFERENCE New York, June 1, 1927. To the Right Hon.

REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 329 It is scarcely necessary to add that the recommendations of the Commission should take, into account among other things the conditions peculiar to Palestine and the distinctive characteristics of its population: Sincerely yours, (Signed) Louis MARSHALL, Ch. WEIZMANN. SPECIFICATIONS A Joint Palestine Survey Commission having been designated pursuant to agreement to make a scientific and thorough survey and investigation of the agricultural, industrial, commercial, economic and financial conditions of Palestine and adjacent countries, and related subjects, it has been determined that the general lines of inquiry to be pursued are the following: I. PHYSIOGRAPHICAL AND GEOLOGICAL. (a) The general climatic conditions of the region throughout the year as affecting agriculture, horticulture, fruit growing and animal husbandry, and in their relation to the public health, are to be studied. (b) The topography and geological and other characteristic features of Palestine and adjacent countries, as bearing on the economic development of the region, are to be carefully noted. This will embrace a geographical study, including a consideration of the diversifiedcharacter of the land extending from the sea plain to the mountains, of the various harbors and water courses, of the highway system, the facilities for advantageous inland and foreign transportation, the possibilities of developing hydro-electric power, of obtaining water adequate for irrigation, and of increasing the now available potable and commercial water supply by the sinking of artesian wells and otherwise and the construction of reservoirs and aqueducts. (c) Soil analysis. This will involve the ascertainment of the nature, qualities and characteristics of the soil in the various parts of the region, its chemical and mineral constituents, its adaptability for the growth of forests, orchards, cereal and other crops, truck farming, forage, and such other products for which markets ekist or can be created. (d) Mining and other possibilities. This relates to the ascertainment of the sub-surface resources in the various regions, including the development of oil wells, quarries, and the production of minerals, metals and other substances possessing valuable physical or chemical properties. This would include a consideration of the utilization of the waters of the Dead Sea and the feasibility of reforesting the mountain slopes and other lands not adapted for agriculture. In respect to each of these subjects it is important to secure the fullest statistical information available, which it is appreciated will be dependent, to a large extent, upon data to be derived from Government and other authoritative reports. 330 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK II. DEMOGRAPHY. (a) An accurate account of the inhabitants of Palestine and adjoining regions, dealing with the composition and characteristics of the population, its various race stocks, their relations to each other, their respective standards of living, occupations pursued, languages spoken, and the literacy of the several elements. (b) Vital statistics; giving such information in tabular form as is accessible relating to births, deaths, marriages, divorces and health conditions. (c) Tabular information as to immigration and emigration annually during the past ten years, according to sex, age, lands of nativity and occupations, the present method of distributing immigrants, their employment, living conditions, economic status and financial resources. III. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES AIYD POSSIBILITIES. The ascertainment of the area of land in Palestine and adjacent countries suitable for productive and profitable use and cultivation for: (1) cereal and other usual crops; (2) the growth of citrus and other fruits, including dates, figs, olives, bananas, and small fruits; (3) vegetable and other products of truck farming; (4) grazing, pasturage and forage; (5) dairying; (6) the growth of sugar, cotton, tobacco and grapes (7) the incidental manufacture of wine, cigars and cigarettes and of vegetable oils, and the canning or preserving of fruits; (8) animal husbandry, including poultry farming and the extent to which these several forms of cultivation and other related activities are economically practicable. In each instance statistical information so far as accessible, or such data as are available, should be collected for the purpose of determining to what extent these various forms of agriculture and allied industries have been conducted in the past, the cost of the land and buildings employed therein, the expense of development, the methods pursued and the results attained, and the use, cost, need and availability of fertilizers; also to what extent additional arable cultivable or grazing lands are available, and at what cost, for additional development, and the districts where such lands are located The quality and marketability of the various products enumerated, the extent to which they may be respectively improved and the degree to which the methods heretofore adopted may be advantageously varied: or modified, should be ascertained, due regard being had to the suitability of the soil in the various districts for that particular form of agriculture now practical or which may be advantageously substituted with a view to the introduction of such methods as will best correlate soil and products. Information should also be secured as to the character of farming and other implements used in connection with the various agricultural activities, the extent to which irrigation is now employed or is necessary REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 331 or practicable or may be successfully extended, to what degree and how existing methods of irrigation may be improved and at what cost to the distributor and the user of the water supplied. The feasibility of dry farming in the various districts should also be carefully investigated, •with a statement of the results to be reasonably anticipated and the probable cost incident to the system recommended. Attention should especially be directed to the establishment of proper standards for the maintenance of a high quality of products and to the introduction of the most approved forms of planting, harvesting, packing, grading, storing, transporting, and of domestic and foreign marketing. In connection with cattle-raising and dairying, attention should be given to the breed of cattle best adapted for home and other markets, their suitability to climatic conditions and their susceptibility to or immunity from cattle diseases. This also applies to the raising of horses, donkeys, sheep and goats. It is also desirable to ascertain the amount now invested by Jewish organizations and Jewish settlers in land, buildings, improvements, equipment, tools and live-stock; the nature of the prevailing landtenure and the general provisions of the contracts under which settlers are operating; the living conditions of the settlers; the total area under cultivation, the yield per acre of the various kinds of products, the unit prices obtained and amounts realized for crops, fruits, dairy products, cattle and other of the animals above specified, during each of the past five years. Special attention should be given to the various classes: laborers, their efficiency, and their rate of compensation. IV. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITIES OF PALESTINE AND ADJACENT REGIONS. This involves a study of: (1) the existing industry and commerce of Palestine; (2) the raw materials, native and imported, available, and their cost, compared with like materials in other countries; (3) the amount of capital involved in industry and commerce; (4) the supply of suitable labor and its cost; (5) foreign and domestic markets for manufactured products. This will necessitate a classification of such industries as are now or which have been carried on in Palestine during the past ten years, the extent and the degree to which the various undertakings in that field have proven successful or unsuccessful, and the reasons for such failures as may have occurred, so far as ascertainable; the number of Jewish and Arab workmen now engaged in the various industries, and the average number employed in the various industrial establishments. The labor problem generally and particularly in connection with these several classes of industry, including the building and other trades, should also be thoroughly considered in its various aspects. This includes a consideration of the several classes of labor available and the cost and efficiency of each, the standards of living of the various classes of employees, their hours of labor, their expertness, and the cost of the various classes of labor, and especially by way of comparison with 332 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK the cost of like labor in those countries where goods similar to those produced in Palestine are manufactured for disposition in markets with which Palestine will have to compete. In respect to Palestinian commercial activities, it is desirable to ascertain to what extent merchandise has been or can be profitably disposed of at home and abroad. It would also be useful to ascertain to what extent hydro-electric power produced or about to be produced will be available and at what cost to the consumer. Careful attention should be given to the relative extent of urban as contrasted with agricultural development, and consideration given to the special problems growing out of past experience in connection with building operations and with respect to unemployment. V. BANKING AND FINANCE. This calls for the ascertainment of the capital resources as supplied by: (1) banks of loan and deposit; (2) land or mortgage banks; (3) public or private trust companies; (4) credit facilities. In each instance it is desirable to secure reliable information as to the amount of capital available, the terms and conditions on which loans are made or credit is extended, including the cost of obtaining loans, the rate of interest and the security required, the relation of demand and supply, the term for which loans are obtainable, the percentage of losses sustained by the lenders, and the promptitude with which payments have been made by the borrowers. This also necessitates an inquiry regarding the extent to which the introduction of new and improved methods of banking and the extension of credits may be feasible without involving substantial risks to the lender. It will likewise be desirable to ascertain whether, and if so to what extent, a coordination of the various capital resources is practicable. VI. PUBLIC HEALTH AND HYGIENE. This will involve a study of climatic and other conditions affecting public health, the maintenance of an appropriate Jewish health service co-operating with governmental and other agencies, a survey of hospitals, clinics and dispensaries, of nursing, public and private; the extent to which endemic diseases exist or have been ameliorated, the adequacy and potability of the milk and the water supply, and the possibilities of public health education in personal and public hygiene; the development of adequate facilities for infant and child hygiene, and other methods of sanitary control, and the subject of sewage disposal. VII. ACCOUNTING, AUDIT AND BUDGET. There is to be a detailed examination, with a report thereon, by qualified accountants of all available records to ascertain the receipts, the sources whence derived and the expenditures made in connection with the carrying on of the various official Jewish activities conducted in or for Palestine during the past ten years, their plan of organization, methods of management and operation, and their respective assets and liabilities. A budget is also to be prepared which will so far as practic- REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE 333 able indicate the expenditures reasonably required to carry into effect such a programme as may be regarded as necessary and practicable to effectuate the conclusions reached by the Commission as the result of the survey to be made as herein provided.

The feature of the evening was a fascinating discussion by the eminent English novelist, Mr. Louis Golding, on the subject of Creative Art in Jewish Life. Mr. Golding called particular attention to the remarkable help which the Jewish Publication Society has given to creative authors the world over. He emphasized the fact which has been inadequately appreciated, that the storehouse of knowledge which the Society has made available serves as an invaluable guide for the Jewish artists in all lands. The work of the Society during the preceding year was reviewed by Dr. Cyrus Adler, the Chairman of the Publication Committee, in the absence of the President of the Society, who was unfortunately taken ill. The last annual meeting of the Jewish Publication Society of America was largely given over to the interesting ceremonies connected with the publication of the History of the Jewish People, at which Mr. Abraham Erlanger and the authors, Professors Max L. Margolis and Alexander Marx, were the special guests of the evening. At the present meeting, therefore, it is due to the members that they have a report of the publications and some of the other activities of the past two years. Since the meeting held in March, 1926, the Society has published the following works, exclusive of reprintings: An English translation of Sholom Ash's novel, Kiddush Hashem; the History, already alluded to; the very interesting work on Travels in North Africa by Nahum Slouschz; the two Year Books, volumes 28 and 29; and two works in the Schiff Classics Series, the Hebrew Ethical Wills by Israel Abrahams, and the Ta'anit of the Babylonian Talmud by Professor Henry Malter. The earlier volumes mentioned were distributed to all the members. The volumes of the Classics are published in a small edition and are sold to the members and to others. There has likewise appeared the 346 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK sixth volume of Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews, completing his Notes to that very valuable work and leaving a seventh volume, which will be a very careful index, thus making this important collection really accessible to all readers and scholars who are interested in the great legendary literature of the Jewish people. You will observe that of the publications of these two years, one was an historical novel, and one a book of travels. The History covered in a single volume the entire record of the Jewish people from the beginning to modern times. Both of the Year Books contained notable contributions in addition to surveys and statistical matter. That for 1926-27, being the year of the Sesqui-Centennial, had a brief outline of the History of the Jews of America from their settlement in this country in 1654 to 1787, and a well illustrated article on the architecture of the Synagogue, beside biographies of Israel Abrahams, Kaufmann Kohler, Henry Maker and Ephraim Lederer, all of whom had been intimately connected with the work of the Society. The 29th volume contained biographies of Oscar S. Straus and Israel Zangwill. In passing I want to point out that there is no annual volume of equal significance for Jewish reference purposes published anywhere. The History was of course our most notable production of the past two years and has evoked a great number of reviews and letters. There have been criticisms here and there of particular points, principally in the modern period, always dangerous to treat, but upon the whole we feel satisfied that an important contribution has been made not only to Jewish literature in the English language but to the entire Jewish world. The interest in the book is evidenced by the fact that we have received applications for its translation into French and into Hebrew. We have entered into an arrangement with a well-known publishing firm in Paris, at their request, and likewise with a publishing house in Jerusalem. In the latter case the publication in Hebrew is aided by the Society through the continued generosity of Mr. Abraham Erlanger. The Classics Volumes too, now that they total five in number, are beginning to be increasingly appreciated. Abrahams' volume of Ethical Wills has brought to the attention JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 347 of the world a type of literature which is almost exclusively Jewish and of the finest import, and Maker's Ta'anit is textually an epoch-making work, whilst the translation itself is charming and gives the reader an insight into one of the most interesting tractates of the Talmud. The Society contemplates publishing in the near future a volume of essays by Professor Louis Ginzberg, and a juvenile book by the late Abraham S. Isaacs. The Year Book for 1928-29 is likewise in preparation. The efforts in the direction of publishing the Series of popular commentaries to the Bible and the Jewish Community Series are now being revived. These plans, formed many years ago, had to be suspended owing to our then financial conditions. While we are by no means affluent I am happy to say that we meet this year under better financial circumstances than any time in the course of the past five or six years, and I gladly ascribe much of this improvement to the energetic and able conduct of our office by our Secretary, Doctor Julius Grodinsky, who has been with us since July, 1926. The balance sheet, as of December 31, 1927, will be presented to you. It indicates a surplus for the year of $3,986.42 and lest you get a wrong impression from this statement I would point out that at the end of December, 1927, our total debts were in the neighborhood of some $60,000, and as these were more than $80,000 in the previous year, it means that we have carried on our work and reduced our indebtedness during the year about $20,000. Since January 1, 1928, we have further reduced our indebtedness by $8,000. and we hope to progressively reduce this debt during the course of the present year. The total membership at the end of the year was about 8,995 and we have made arrangements which I trust will increase both our membership and our sales, particularly in the large city of New York. There has always been a considerable turn-over in the membership and during the year 1927, about 1000 new members were added to our rolls. Mr. Miller has on frequent occasions referred to the need of a proper working capital, the absence of which has always been our most serious handicap, and he suggested the sum of $100,000. as requisite for this purpose. While but a very limited effort has been made thus far we have received indi- 348 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK vidual subscriptions in the amount of $1,000 each, to a total of $25,000, conditioned upontheentireamountbeingsecured. Speaking now only for the year 1927, there were distributed to the members about 25,000 volumes, and in addition thereto, the Society sold another 25,000 volumes. It is interesting to consider the kind of books that people buy because after all this represents their voluntary act and not the choice of the Publication Committee. Among these 25,000, of course, the largest number was the Bible, but the new History was entirely sold out and a second edition was published; Graetz's History is still a good seller; among the miscellaneous books the biographies, even,though they are old publications, sold the best, and altogether the general theory that novels or childrens' books are most popular is not borne out by our experience. The people who want to read Jewish books apparently want to read serious ones. Since the creation of the Society, forty years ago, there have been 138 separate titles which contain our imprint and as some of these books range from two to five volumes you will see that we have probably averaged durjng the whole period nearly four volumes a year. I am not prepared to state on the basis of any definite statistics how many copies we have actually distributed but I am quite sure that it would run well over two million volumes. The number alone is significant. Of these, 140,000 have been the Translation of the Bible, which has now reached its seventh impression. I have briefly referred to all the departments of our work except the Press. Our own volumes of the Classics are printed on it and we have executed orders for the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Hebrew Union College, the Dropsie College, Brown University, Harvard University, the United Synagogue of America, besides private publishing firms who have given us their Hebrew work to do. This Press is a distinct addition to the Jewish cultural life of America and not yet fully appreciated. The endeavor has been made in this report to state the facts without either undue optimism or pessimism. Had the conditions been rosy the Trustees would probably have felt like making the fortieth annual meeting a celebration. We prefer, however, to leave it to our successors to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary. JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY 349 This Society is one of the most potent factors in the educational movement of the Jewish people in America, and indeed has a distinguished place in the entire English-speaking world. In spite of its ups and downs it has for forty years steadily continued to issue publications which, in average distinction, will compare favorably with the output of any Society or publishing house in the world. One of our Trustees, Mr. Julius Weyl, at a meeting a few years ago said that the greatest gamble in any business was in the publishing business. The wisest professional readers never know whether a book is going to take or not. Our proportion of books which take has been very high. For an educational institution the aid granted us has been less, I think, than for any other Jewish institution in America. We have gone along under severe handicaps, it is true, with occasional distinguished gifts, but always without capital. I feel that we have not been granted the support financially and morally to which we are entitled. On the other hand, we gratefully acknowledge the unselfish labors of the Publication Committee and the Classics Committee who plod their way through dozens of manuscripts before one is accepted. The Synagogue, the School, the fraternal order, every movement in Jewish life will find us their best aid if they are willing to make use of us, because in the last analysis these institutions will break down unless the elders and the youth of the community have a knowledge of the history and literature of their people. An ignorant Jewry is inconceivable and we are prepared to furnish the information if only the Jewish public is willing to receive it. We are publishers, not propagandists, but we feel that we have the right to expect every Rabbi, every teacher and every communal leader in America to be our propagandists even without asking them. 350 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK MEMBERS ALABAMA Alexander City Schoenbaum, O., Box 57 Mobile LIFE MEMBERS Brown, Leo M., Box 953 Hammel, Mrs. M., 930 Government Kahn, S., 250 Church Andalusia Berman, S.
