New Yorki Jan. 19. "The Republi canism of. the United States is the nearest approach to the ideals of the prophets of Israel ; thatjias ever been incorporated in the form of a State,'5 declared Oscar S. Straus, Ambassador to Turkey, in an address delivered last night at the second annual council of tneiUnion of -American Hebrew Con gregations, held at the Hotel Astor. "America is peculiarly a promised land "Wherein the spirit of the teachings oi the ancient prophets inspired the work of the fathers of our country." ' v Mr. Straus spoke upon "America and the Spirit of American Judaism." His address follows: "The spirit of American Judaism first asserted itself when Stuyvesant the Governor of New Amsterdam, would not permit the few Jews who had emigrated from Portugal, to unite with the other burghers in standing guard for the protection of their homes. When the tax collector came to Asser Levy to collect a tax on this account, he asked if that tax was im posed on all the residents of New Am sterdam. 'No was the reply, 'It is only imposed upon the Jews because they do not stand guard.' 'I have not asked to be exempted replied Asser Levy,' am not only willing, but I de mand the right to stand guard.' nIatnghr"tSe" JewVhaye asserted" and exercised as officers and in the ranks of the Continental army and in every crisis of our national history from that time until the present day. The American spirit and. the spirit of American Judaism were both nurtur ed in' the same cradle of liberty, and united together in origin, in ideals, and in historical development. The closing chapter of the chronicles of the Jews on the Iberian peninsula forms the opening chapter of their history on this Continent. It was Luis Santangel,- 'the Beaconsifield of .his time,' assisted by his kinsman Gabriel Sanches, the Royal Treasurer of Ara gon, who advanced out of his own purse - seventeen thousand florins which .made the voyages of Columbus possible. Luis de Torres, the inter preter as well as the surgeon and the physician of the little fleet., besides several of the sailors who were with Columbus on his first voyage, were Jews. --- "Looking back through . this vista of more than four centuries as Amer icans-and as Jews, we have reason to remember with justified gratitude the foresight and signal services of those Spanish Jews who had the wisdom to divine the far-reaching possibilities of the plans of the great naVigator, whom King and Queen, Dukes and as 'a ' ?$?&XKr&'Pj fall v M OeOROE itf'j&?
