The sixtieth birthday anniversary of Chaim Nachman Bialik, the Hebrew poet laureate, will be celebrated in Cleveland this evening at the auditorium of the Cleveland Jewish Center. This will be a city-wide celebration in honor of the distinguished poet of the Hebraic Renaissance, arranged under the auspices of the Cleveland Zionist District in conjunction with the Senior and Junior Hadassah, Keren Hayesod Women’s Club, Masada, and Avukah.
“Indecent journalism must be driven out of Jewish life,” declares the current issue of “Opinion” in a vigorous editorial dealing with an article released by the Seven Arts Feature Syndicate entitled “Emanuel Neumann”. The editorial goes on to say, “An aroused Jewish opinion must safeguard the interests of American Jewry from yellow journalism and yellow journalists.”
Commenting in detail on the article in question, the editorial observes that “so insidious is its character and so dishonest is the form in which it is cast, that public notice must be given to it.” It also republishes a letter addressed, on the same subject by the editor of “Opinion”, to the feature service concerned, which concludes with the admonition, “Some weeks ago you wrote about an all-Jewish cabinet and what they might do if they gave all their time to Jewish causes. Perhaps one of the reasons why great Jews can’t and won’t give all their time to Jewish causes is because of malign attacks such as this one of yours upon every effort they make and upon every service they render.”
