JEWS ON JEWS.

• [To zaz Enron or THE " SPECTATOR."]

Sin,—Your Jewish correspondents may find food for reflection in the following extracts:—

" I sometimes think that, when I retire from my profession. I may do something for Judaism, but it will be on lines WY different from those of Claude Montefiore, for I am convinced that Judaism will never be the religion of a monotheism which is to supplant Christianity. It is essentially a religion for a particular race; deprive it of this characteristic and of its historic garment and you make it cool, lifeless and insipid." The late Arthur Cohen, K.C., quoted in the Jewish Guardian, Oct. 15, 1920.

"If Christendom abandons the folly and the wickedness of anti-semitism, Jewry will be willing to think more accurately and more wisely about the founders and the sacred.books. of Christianity."—Mr. Claude G. Montefiore, Jewish Guardian, Oct. 15, 1920.

"NO one, for instance, would call a child of Japanese or Indian parentage a person of English nationality on the strength of being born in this country, and the same considera- tion is applicable to the Jews."—Jewish World, Sept. 22, 1915. "Jews who pretend they can at once he patriotic Englishmen and good Jews are simply living lies. The patriotism of the Jew is merely a cloak he assumes to please the Englishman." —Mr. B. Felty in Jewish Chronicle, Dec. 8, 1911.

" Judaism is not a religion merely, like Catholicism or Protestantism; it is a brotherhood, a race if you lake; and that it will remain so long as there aro two Jews left in the world."—Joseph Dulbey, M.D., J.P., in Jewish Chronicle. "The horror with which thousands of our Russian-born youths regard the idea of service in the British Army must not be attributed to mere reasons ,of personal slackness, it has deep moral foundations."--W. Jabotinsky, Jewish Chronicle, June 30, 1916.
