There are two kinds of U. S. Jews. One kind (in its own words) is composed of "Americans who are Jews''-Americans who, as individuals, practice the Jewish faith, or, if they are not religious, admit their Jewish ancestry. The other kind is a smaller but more articulate group of "Jews in America"-Jews who have not only a common religion but a common culture; who believe they are members of a scattered nation; who tend to approve Zionist aims toward a Jewish homeland. Between these two groups there is deep-rooted animosity. Last week, as has happened...
Month ago an Arab bus in northern Palestine was fired on. In a nearby shed, British officers found three young Jewish Fascists, loaded with bombs, revolvers and rifles. British emergency regulations, prescribing the gallows for possession of arms, have been applied against Arab terrorists. Last week a British military court showed it could be equally stern with Jewish terrorists. The court condemned two of the young Jews to hang, sent the third to an insane asylum. Sole hope of clemency remained with Major General Robert Hadden Haining, commander of the British Palestine forces, who must confirm the sentences. If confirmed...
...Americans of all races and creeds to abjure attempts to arouse one group of the population against another and to reject all propaganda directed against the reputation of any group." The Rev.

Brooklyn. Last fortnight the Jewish Examiner nominated for "Jew-Baiter No. 1" Dr. Patrick Scanlan, managing editor of the Brooklyn Tablet, Catholic diocesan organ whose letter columns have lately been full of discussions of "Jewish Bolshevism." Dr. Scanlan has particularly incurred Jewish displeasure by recommending that Dr. Albert Einstein be sent back to Germany, "where persecution might again impress him with its heinousness"-because Dr. Einstein joined Princeton professors in an appeal for lifting the arms embargo on Spain...
Jersey City. The Jersey City Jewish Community Center recently ousted from its building a Jewish congregation headed by an anti-Hague rabbi, Benjamin Plotkin. Some local Jews called him a Communist. Said the American Hebrew last week: "For Jersey Jews deliberately to fan the flame which may ultimately consume them seems the most reckless kind of communal suicide." Similarly, Jesuit America has warned Jersey City Catholics against allying themselves with Boss Frank Hague, a Roman Catholic, on the grounds that Hague tactics may be used elsewhere against Catholics (a warning, however, not heeded by numerous Jersey City priests and Catholic...
