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.

year of the 300th lunar cycle of 19 years, and the fifth
year of the 204th solar cycle of 28 years, since Creation.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688
BY HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN
THE purpose of the present article is to present in brief
outline a review of the most significant events of interest to
Jews during the period dating from April 1, 1927 to which
point Doctor Linfield's article "A Survey of the Year 5687"
in the preceding volume of this publication led, up to the
middle of July 1928.
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

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5688

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

many years on the Odessa Committee, and in later life translated his Auio-Emanzipation into Hebrew.

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.

AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK
Not only do the Jews live in every state of the Union but
the canvas showed that the Jews are widely distributed
within the states. 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.

Although'the distribution of Jews was found to be wide,
it appealed evident that their density was light except in the
large cities. 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%. The following table shows the percentage of Jews among the various classes of cities, towns,
villages, and in rural territory.

The preceding table gave the density of the Jewish
population in the various classes of places, taking each class
as a whole. 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.

'In all the tables, the figures for the total population of the rural territories and of the
small urban places of 2500-25,000, are those of the census year 1920. 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.

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.

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

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

Adding the combined number of Jews of the eleven
cities to the number of Jews in the 57 other large cities of
100,000 or over, we estimate that in 1927, a total of 3,553,600 Jews lived in the 68 cities of 100,000 or over.
5. 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:

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:

1917

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.)

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

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.

A perusal of the percentages that the Jews constitute of
the total population in the states shows great variation from
23.05% in the state of New York and 9.39% in New Jersey,
to 0.63% in South Dakota. 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%. The table
below gives the distribution of the Jews in the cities 25,000
or over on the basis of the divisions as modified and their
subdivisions.

It would appear, therefore, that appreciable differences
exist between the densities of the Jewish population in the
three divisions, North, South and West, except that Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia belong insofar
as density of their Jewish populations is concerned to the
North rather than to the South. 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.

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:

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.

b. 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.

The above table shows that the density of Jewish settlement is the same in the West as it is in the South in the
group of cities of 2,500-25,000, as a whole, whereas, as we
noted before in the rural territory, the density of the Jews
is less in the West than in the South. 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.

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.

If we were to subtract, in each case, the region of highest
density from the North, that division would closely approach
the South and the West both in the matter of density of
Jews and their distribution. 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

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.

3. 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.

(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.

(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.

IV. 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:

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.

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

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.

2. 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.

AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK
Summing up the results of our canvass as related to the
distribution of the Jews and their density in the rural territory and in the urban places of the various sizes, we note
that the spread of the Jews to the places of 25*000 and over
has reached 100%, and that also to places of smaller size the
spread of the Jews is already considerable, but the spread of
the Jews to the rural villages and to the unincorporated
rural places is still limited in scope, the penetration of the
Jews in the rural unincorporated districts being especially
slight. 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.

V. 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

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 estimates of 1887, 1997, 1907, 1917, and 1927 may
be compared from the point of view of the density of the
Jews and their distribution among the major divisions in
the country. 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).

NOTES
NOTE A.
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:

The percentages for both, places and Jews, of each division were then
applied to the states within each division. 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:

•The estimated number of places having Jews and the number of Jews in them are
minima due to the fact that in the course of the application of the percentages of the
divisions to the individual states, fractions were lost, as a result, the sum total of the
number of places having Jews in the states within a division, were less than the totals
that would have been attained had we applied the percentages of the samples directly
to the numbers of uncanvassed places. 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.

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.

To determine the number of places having Jews and the number of
Jews among uncanvassed places in the United States as a whole, the
conservative figures of the three major divisions, namely North, South,
and West, were added and the result accepted as the sum total for the
country 1as a whole, in spite of the fact that this procedure affected
changes.

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:

To determine the density of the Jews in those places in the United
States as a whole which have been estimated to have Jewish residents,
the figures obtained for the three major divisions were added, and the
sum total was adopted as the total population of the estimated places
in the United States as a whole. 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.

JEWISH POPULATION OF UNITED STATES, 1927
167
NOTE D.
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:

The city of Detroit, though not one of the cities of the East, appears
to have the same percentage of foreign-born Jews of Yiddish mothertongue and their children as do the cities of the East, namely 75%. The
number of Jews on the basis of mother-tongue in the city of Detroit is
thus 80,070 Jews as follows:

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

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:

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.

JEWISH CONGREGATIONS IN THE
UNITED STATES
A Preliminary Statement
BY H. 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.

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.

STATISTICS OF JEWS
247
A. 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.

•Estimate of 1923
The table given above shows that in 1927 Jews formed 3.5% of the
total population in continental United States compared with 3.2%
estimated in 1917. 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.

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%.

Of the Jews who live on the American continent, 4,381,250 dwell in
North America and the West Indies, where they constitute 2.96% of the
total population, and 236,455 in Central and South America, forming
0.42% of the total population. In North America the Jews are concentrated in Continental United States (3%) and in Canada (1.43%).
In South America more than 92% of the Jews live in Argentina, where,
however, they constitute only 2.09% of the total population.

C. 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.

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.

From 1881 to 1898, 533,478 Jews entered at the ports of New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore. 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 1908-1927, for which years we possess complete statistical
data, 1,040,628 Jews were admitted to the United States, constituting
8.97% of the total number of immigrants admitted. 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.

• Year ending June 30.
During 1899-1927, for which years we possess statistical data, 29,979,
Jews were debarred from entering the United States, 1.6% of the
number of Jews who were admitted; while the percentage of total
debarred to the total admitted was 2.36%.
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%. During
1927 the percentage of the total deported to the total net increase was
1.26%, while the percentage of deported Jews was only 1.6%.

JEWISH IMMIGRATION DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1927
During the year ended June 30, 1927, 11,483 Jews were admitted to
the country, about as many as during the previous year; the number of
Jews that departed was insignificant, namely, 224; and the net increase
through immigration was thus only 11,259.
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.

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%).

STATISTICS OF JEWS

F. 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.

Table XXVII below gives the number of immigrants and emigrants,
Jews and non-Jews, and the number of persons refused admittance during 1927, by month. With regard to emigration, it will be noted that the
government of Palestine classifies persons who permanently leave the
country in two groups, viz.: (1) emigrants, Palestine citizens, and (2)
returning immigrants, aliens who are permanently returning to their
countries of origin.

THE M E M B E R S OF THE AMERICAN J E W I S H COMMITTEE:
Your Executive C o m m i t t e e begs leave to present a brief
account of the most i m p o r t a n t of the m a t t e r s related to
t h e objects of the Committee, to which a t t e n t i o n has been
devoted during the past year.

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

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

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

hatred, prejudice and antipathy because of differences of race,
religion or social position.
With best regards, I am,
Very cordially yours,

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.

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.

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.,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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,

LAGATIUNEA REGALA A ROMANIEI,

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

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.

3.
FINANCES
During the past year a systematic effort was made during a number of months to increase the Sustaining Membership and revenues of the Committee, in harmony with
your unanimous vote at our last meeting that the budget
of the Committee for the year be made up on a basis of a
fund of $100,000. Under the direction of the Finance Com-
REPORT OF AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE
321
mittee assisted by Mr. Victor Rosewater, an endeavor was
made to secure the cooperation of the District Members to
secure such a fund. 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

It will be noted that there were considerable increases in
the amounts received from Districts I, IV, V, VI, XII, XIII,
and XIV. 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

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.

JOINT PALESTINE SURVEY COMMISSION
TERMS OF REFERENCE
New York, June 1, 1927.
To the Right Hon. Sir ALRED MOND, Bart., M. P.,
Dr. LEE K. FRANKEL,
FELIX M. WARBURG, Esq., and
Dr. OSCAR WASSERMAN.
GENTLEMEN :
A Joint Palestine Survey Commission, upon which you have had the
goodness to accept membership, has been created, pursuant to an agreement entered into by the undersigned, for the purpose of ascertaining,
by means of a survey and investigation conducted on scientific lines, the
resources, economic conditions and possibilities of Palestine, to facilitate
the framing of a comprehensive and systematic programme for future
constructive work in Palestine and for the guidance of a reorganized
Jewish Agency.
With this end in view, the Commission is requested to inquire into
and report upon the following subjects, and any other related matters,
which, in its discretion, it may deem to come within the scope of the
purposes for which it has been formed, special reference being had to the

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 above enumeration of subjects to be investigated and of details
mentioned under the several heads is not to be regarded as exclusive,
but may be added to or modified from time to time

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE JEWISH
PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA
The Fortieth Annual Meeting of the Jewish Publication
Society of America was held at Dropsie College, Broad and
York Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., on Sunday evening, March
25, 1928.
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.
