Election Day, June 25th, 1923
At the Conference of Religious and Welfare Workers which met in Washington last week to assure Secretary Weeks that preparedness is essential to American safety, were Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron, of Baltimore, and Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the Jewish Welfare, Board, The latter presided over the sessions, while the former was a member of the committee which, from its height of spiritual leadership, declared in a series of pronouncements, against "any attempt to deny the support of the churches to the welfare of the army and navy under the cloak of religion, and in the name of false pacifism," and against pursuing peace "unarmed and undefended, the quickest way to invite war."
Mind youj this happened June S, 1923, not in the war-wild days when such men were propagandists as now, but with the better excuse that few can keep cool heads at a time when men run in packs. Then most of them were pitiful spectacles, doing mere lip service to that age-old commandment "thou sh'al.t not kill," trying to out-shout conscience and teachings with deafening oratory in which they sought to square theory and practice. Later they were even sadder sights in their efforts to show what humanity had gained in democracy, in face of the fact that the United States itself, with its political prisoners and no freedom of speech, is one of the most reactionary countries on the globe. Now their energy on behalf of armament is excessive and contradictory, considering their former expansive promises about no more wars.
When such a rabbi travels to Washington to encourage a new war by provision of weapons for it (just because the country happens to be in a state of peace, such as it is) it may be inferred that the community he left behind him needs ho voice for the poor, the sick, those oppressed by miscarriage of justice, the, underpaid, the overworked, or for prison reform and the like. When a rabbi in a country which already spends more than 85 per cent, of its income on war and only 3 per cent, of it on education throws his influence on the side of further costly preparedness which will yoke posterity, he removes himself from the category of men committed to. the cause of education and spiritual leadership into the department of potential munitions manufacturers. As such his church deserves to lose its hold on its people, and his; pulpit its power for good, and that these things may be happening in Baltimore as elsewhere can be no subject for tears, but rather for hearty'Satisfaction.

In Europe anti-Semitism breaks out in one form or another almost :daily. Now there are anti-Jewish-riots in Rumania, and in Vienna there is contemplated an anti-Semitic Internationale which will be more "adequate" than anything heretofore at work against the jews. But in America with Fair Harvard fair again and rational on the subject of Jewish students, and the hot weather down south more than likely arresting the ardor of the Ku Klux Klan, anti-Semitism is at such a low ebb, and so confined-to merely annoying forms that we have no right to complain at all considering the comparative comfort most of us enjoy all the time; Then, too, we never could claim the Klan as ours entirely since we have good company in the Catholics and Negroes which it hates.
Summer anti-Semitism is purely social and means that certain camps won't take the kids while certain hotels refuse service to the parents, while on the other hand hundreds of thousands of parents and children go through life without experiencing more than being called bad names that are only irritating after all. On this continent there are not nearly so many opportunities denied Jews- for. self-development wherever they want it as there are Jews denying themselves opportunities which await them as well as those of-any "other, race.
The cry of anti-Semitism is raised perhaps too quickly by Jews who seem to have everything and enjoy everything possible, and who are thriving with all the robustness of any class. It is often those loudest in their denunciation of what is really �the mildest sort of anti-Semitism, who are the most active in keeping from their own. dubs and cliques fellow-Jews just a little farther behind them in
the stream of immigration.
