A reception, at which leading Jews of Berlin were present, was given here yesterday for Abe Cahan, editor of the New York Chicago Jewish Daily Forward, and Alexander Harkavy, noted Jewish philologist of America. The reception was given by the Sholom Aleichem Club, and was held in the home of Jacob Leschinsky.
Mr. Cahan spoke on America, describing the achievement of American Jews in trade, industry and culture, and said that the part played by American Jews in the development of an American culture is still great, in spite of the economic crisis, anti-Semitism and the stoppage of immigration.
Dr. Tscherikower greeted the American guests. Among those present were Prof. Simeon Dubnow, noted Jewish historian; Dr. Julius Bruzkus, and other Jewish leaders, who discussed the danger of a decline of Polish Jewry, if the Pilsudski policy in the event of the continuation of the systematic barring of Polish Jews from the economic life and the education of the country, in order to create a great Polish middle class is effected.
