THE JEW WHO INTERPRETS FRANCE (Continued from Page 7) ough study of the man. ‘•Voltaire’* is in striking contrast to “Disraeli” or even to “Lyautey." It is unfair to Maurois not to point out that his rich biographies are dependent upon details. He does not have ample opportunity in the present work to digress with effect on the contradictions in Voltaire, to emphasize the fact that later generations revered him for what he was not. However. Maurois has not been misleading. He has written what is primarily an outline and has given the main facts. It is for the reader interested in Voltaire to continue. For all his cosmopolitani»m, Andre Maurois makes certain that his devotion to France shall never he impugned. That is essential if he is to retain the esteem of his countryman. That, perhaps, gives him a special standing with the English, who make a fetish of loyalty. Ever since “The Silence of Colonel Bramble,” which marked Maurois' official entry into the literary world, he has been regarded as the ambassador of France to the An glo-Saxon world, the mediator to adjust differences, to harmonize disparities. He has been eminently successful. The re actionaries in France have no love for this upstart Jew who is France's best selling novelist, but the general reading public of the country looks up to Maurois as the best interpreter of its aspirations as well as its passions. He is similarly accepted abroad because he not only knows the material but is able to crystal lize it. It is a fitting rebuke to the coun try which produced the Dreyfus Affaire that Andre Maurois should today be at the top of France’s literary ladder. Copyrighted I9JJ for Tub Sew muss Iskabi.iti A LIFE (Continued from page 5) good American doctrine but good Ameri can fact. Every disfranchiser of the Negro practices it; every American who drinks a beverage containing more than one-half of one per cent of ethyl alcohol practices it too. I suppose, not having been home for several years, that American Jews are not guilty of this sort of civil disol>edience, else how can I understand the horror of certain among them when I counsel not disobedience to the courts or laws of the land, but the establishment, with the con sent of the government, of rabbinical courts to adjudicate in such quiet private and uneconomic matters in which theo retically Christian courts outrage our in stincts, our religious traditions, our ethical perceptions? No, it is evident to me that no American Jew has traffic with a boot legger or even takes a drink when it is offered to him. He will not practice civil disobedience. Or does he, after all? Has he fallen so low that he will cheerfully practice civil disobedience if only a comfortable ma jority of Gentiles approve his action and yet shiver and tremble to ask anything, however excellent and harmless and even noble, for himself? Is he quite satisfied with this ape-like attitude of pure imi tativeness? Is he quite happy to adjust his life, even to its most intimate details, according to modes and habits and com mands that are strictly and forever out side himself? Will he ask nothing, he nothing, seem nothing on his own? ITte reproach that he deals in merchandise that is second-hand is a trivial and a foolish one. I*he reproach that he lives entirely a second-hand life is grave enough. I know his fears and his hesitation and I understand them well enough. He may safely begin to put them aside. For the liberties that I am asking him to demand and to take are not as revolutionary as they seem. The world today is in the trough of a reaction comparable to that l»etween Waterloo and the July revolu tion of 1830. But precisely, as then, de spite its passing seeming triumph, the legitimate, monarchist Christian state was doomed, so is the political, nationalistic, unitary and centralized state doomed to day. 'I*he future belongs—despite Mus solini, Horthy—to the state of economic cooperation and cultural pluralism. Do not take my word for it. Ask any well- instructed economist or political scientist. Only, if he is an American university professor, assure him first that he will be quoted neither to his dean, his president, his trustees nor his pastor. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL (Continued from page 16) American Revolution? Or the French? Or the Russian? Surely you must have. “Didn’t you ever hear of the Ku Klux Klan, that stupid but brutal group of cowards who went about beating up wom en and defenseless men and then died a quick death after leaving a disgraceful blot on American history? Your regime in Germany, I venture to predict, will end on the ash heap in the same way. “I hear that you are planing periodic broadcasts to this country in an effort to make friends with America. You’re much too late. If you could be here in New York today and see the demonstrations against your conduct in Germany, a sup posedly friendly country, you’d know it.

Jews and Gentiles alike, denouncing you everywhere. “In the last few years the war has been forgotten and such figures as Einstein, Dietrich, Vicki Baum, Schmeling, house hold names here, have made Germany beloved in the U. S. Now you’ve undone it all in a couple of months. . . . You just lived a few centuries too late, I’m afraid. You’d have been a big success in the Spanish Inquisition.” If we were directing the anti-Hitler protest in this country we would present the marshal’s baton to Winehell. . . He has done more than any one else that we can think of to make “La Hitler” look foolish. . . .
