WHY ALEXANDER BEFRIENDED

THE JEWS

New York.-The .unusual friendship for the Jews consistently manifested by the late King Alexander of Jugoslavia was the result of the role played by a former chief rabbi of Jugoslavia in sav­ing Alexander's father" the late King Peter, from assas3ination. This hither­to untold chapter of history is revealed by Abraham Jacob Gross, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who recently returned from Jugoslavia. Mr. Gross, in a letter to the Jewish Morning Journal, tells the following story:

"In 1919 King Peter's throne was in danger. His enemieil were plotting to slay him, and his friends deserted him. Unable to find refuge anywhere, Peter decided to seek safety in the home of the then chief rabbi of Jugoslavia, Rabbi Alcalay. He reasoned that no one would look for him in a Jew's house. In Rab­bi Alcalay's house he not only found a haven, but was provided with the means of fleeing the country. Noting that the King's beard made him. look like a Jewish merchant, Rabbi Alcalay prevail­ed upon him to dh 'guise himself as a Jewish merchant. Together with the Rabbi, the King slipped out of Jugo­slavia and managed to reach Paris where his children were studying. As a result. of this incident the King and the Rabbi became intimate friends. Both of them are now dead, but their SOilS

continued this friendship. When Alex­ander succeeded to the throne he did not forget Rabbi Alcalay's service, and invited Alcalay'.s. son, who became chief rabbi to join the court circle. The two men became fast friends, and as a re­sult of this relationship Jugoslavian Jewry enjoyed fifteen years of unusual prosperity and peace."

EUCL I D AVENUE TEMPLE BULLET IN

MAX W ARBURG'S "F AREWELL SPEE CH"

Poignant lllustra tion of Jewish Status in Hitler-Land

The Paris Tageblatt of November 4th carried the report of a banquet given in honor of Max Warburg, senior di­rector of the Hamburg-American Line and head of the Hamburg Banking Firm of that name. Max Warburg, tOg'ether with Albert Ballin, transformed the Hamburg-American Line from a few tranu> steamers into the greatest mer­cantile fleet in the world.

Adolph Hitler felt the Jew, Warburg, as the head of this great fleet, a thorn in his flesh. Word was sent to Hamburg that he be removed. The painfu lne'~ s of this task was so keenly felt by his co­directors that it was decided to give a banquet in his honor-the idea b!'ing to act as if now, in his old age, his task being' completed, Warburg would be thanked for his great services and would retire.

AS·.3embled at the banquet table were the heads of Germany's great shipping industry and government marine officials. They were assembled to witness the downfall of the great old man of the House of Warburg.

At the beginning of the banquet MI'. Warburg asked if he might say a few words. Surprise and dismay were to be seen on the faces of the official speakers, but Mr. Warburg being the guest of honor, his request could not be refused.

Mr. Warburg arose, scanned the faces of those about h im and with a smile [ ironical and contemptuous said:

"Gentlemen, when I look about me, I find, kindly excuse my frankness , not a single man who has done anything of importance for the German Shipping In­dustry. The great and mig'hty Shipping Industry is primarily the work of two Jews. The one is the deceased Albert Ballin, the other is this man who has the

honor of standing befor·e you. "It is not my habit to speak about my­

self, but as I know that you want to tell me something and are perhaps ashamed to ·say it, I shall a llow myself to help you."

A deadly silence prevailed. Then Mr. Warburg continued:

"If you were here in my place and I in yours, I would say:

" 'My deal' MI'. Warburg, it is difficult for us to part from a man who together with Albert Ballin created and made great our corporation, The Hamburg­American Line. It is difficult for us to lose in you a citizen who, in the War, made such great sacrifices and rendered such service. And in addition we cannot forg'et that at the end of the War it was you and you a lone who, out of only ruins, recreated with your energy and your money the German Shipping Industry.

"'And if we-new people here-mu.3t separate ourselves from our old co-work­er, then it is our fault and not yours.

"This is what I would say if I were in your place. However, the situation being what it is, you must now permit me to withdraw and bid you farewell, until such time when you will once again need me."

So spoke Max Warburg. Then the great banker folded his napkin, bowed coldly and left the banquet hall.
