recalled (he went on) that a Jew,
named Jesus of Nazareth, like
wise thundered a social and moral
message from a mountain top, the
elevation of which was not too
high for Jews.”
An interesting sequel to the Confer
ence was that the 460 students present
adopted a resolution condemning at
tacks upon Jewish students in univer
sities in Posen and Vienna and pro
testing against anti-Jewish feeling in
American colleges a n d expressing
their earnest determination to work
against its expression in our under
graduate life. I believe those students
meant every word of those resolutions
and if we had more similar groups
working for a practical attitude of
goodwill toward the Jew, the Goodwill
Movement would get on much faster.
The unfortunate thing is that the
greatest obstacle toward goodwill is
found in so many Christian homes
where sons and daughters are fed
prejudice with their food. Sometimes
consciously, sometimes unconsciously.
Here’s a personal word to the Jew
ish magnates in the moving-picture
business. Perhaps some kind friend
will send it along to some of them.
Instead of the “Cohens and the Kel
lys” and “Abies Irish Rose” and all
the rest of the insulting clap-trap and
nixnox that merely parade the uncul
tured side of an uncultured group in
Jewry, which advertises to the nation
that of such are all Jews made, I have
a suggestion to make. That leaf tak
en from the romance of Miss Patter
son in Baltimore who fell in love and
married Napoleon’s brother, made a
very interesting, though a trifle dis
torted movie. So I suggest that the
story of Rebecca Grata, the famous

the thought should be to show th

get from looking at the crude subject
now used. Maybe Hyam Salomon

There is plenty of material there for
