But we may neither hold the government nor the (Nazi) party responsible for them! To the contrary, we are led to believe, thanks to the of ficial information given out by the Im perial Chancellor, that he will—even as Mussolini, liberate the national-socialist movement of all traces of anti-Semitism." Across the chasm of racial hatred, which was deliberately created by the Hitlerite party, this Jewish rabbi extends the hand of sympathy and understanding to the torturer of human beings, to the sanguinary prosecutor of fellow-Jews for the sake of a united front against com munism and atheism, a very instructive spectacle indeed! And I)r. Lewisohn speaks of ”a stern and dignified silence" on the part of Zionist and orthodox group! At the moment when the Soviet Union is the only State in the world which sin cerely seeks to eradicate anti-Semitism, to use the words of Mr. Morris Kothenherg, the President of the Zionist Organization of America, and when in reality anti- Semitism has reached the vanishing point in the countries comprising the Soviet Union through the creation of economic conditions in which anti-Semitism withers away automatically, some German Jews make a common front with the bloody as sassin of their poorest brethren, with the hrown-shirted vulgarian who burns books, who proscribes research and whose "bravi” snatch out their revolvers the CITY MOST ATTRACTIVE RATES EVER OFFERED ON THE BEHRDWALKI ’AS Li AS ROOM .BATH & ALL MEALS 'TWoffecr/JP/arn, £ rn iLSO .

T. WEST, Monogee [18] moment they hear the word culture men tioned. And Dr. Lewisohn seeks to explain all tnis urutality with some value mysterious subconscious •‘ill-understood’’ group psy chology as it Hitler were some sort ot in escapable scourge sent to earth by the ele mentary demons trom above or below. And as if Hitler and his movement did not inevitably emerge from a certain de termined combination ot objective cir cumstances as tne very emcacious instru ment oi repression in tact in tne nanus ot a irigutened ruling class, wmen in desperation had to suspend the operation ot democratic institutions and save its valet Hitler carte blanche to apply any remedy and every remedy to arrest the radicalization ot the lower middle classes and their tusion with the workers. One of the "procedes” chosen by Hitler was the invocation of the lie ot racism in or der that the masses, worked into an in sane fury, would proceed to tear each other to pieces, instead of calmly taking stock of the real causes of their misery, which are the irreconcilable economic con tradictions in the system, and taking stock to unite, Jews and non-Jews alike, to sweep away exploiters and oppressors and built a better world in the place of the putrid mess of war and destitution. "Hatred and aggressiveness are pri mary taetors," Dr. Lewisohn tells us, thus putting the horse before the cart. The torturers in brown shirts are consequently but poor instruments of blind forces, who are acting on purely impersonal motives, it is the sight of long noses which is re activating dormant ancestral memories. Imponderables and the irrational de termine the course of events and the na ture of phenomena. Dr. Lewisohn pre sents us with an interpretation of history which bears a close resemblance to that theory once advanced by Boehrn-Bawerk’s of a universe peopled with an innumer able quantity of odorless, intangible and invisible gnomes who produce all the phenomena, social and natural. Just try to prove this isn’t so! Or try to prove that the trinity is not one in three and three in one! Fact of the matter is, of course, that the march of evolution, as it really is, displeases and disquiets men like Dr. Lewisohn. They see the struggle ap proaching when they will be forced out of their comfortable dream-castles. Before that calamity arises the bourgeois intel lectuals redouble their efforts to dope the masses, Jewish and non-Jewish, with the opium of racial nationalism and religion and distorted psycho-analysis, so that the masses may for a time longer waste their energy in fighting each other on false issues. While that struggle lasts the bourgeoisie retains its privileged posi tion, of course. All this brutality is really "due to legendary memories of the nations," the Doctor says with finality, “constantly re voked by the presence of the recogniz able difference from themselves, and the defenselessness of the Jewish people." How satisfactory! No room for argu ment left, you see. Are the Jews different in the USSR? Are they less helpless than in Germany? Today the Japanese chauvinist press is “hetzing" against the Jews of Biro-Bidjan. Have the sons of Samurai and of Jap anese bankers also ancestral memories about Jews playing at the back of their heads? And the Flemish peasants who are being roused against the Jewish ref ugee immigration by the Flemish nation alists, have they memories of earlier con tacts with Jews? Japanese imperialists, Rumanian Cuz- ists and Czarist pogromchiks they all se lected the Jew as the saving victim and so does Hitler in this hour. But they look for scape-goats because they need scape-goats!

This |) av j Slusky did from the first hour of hi-. ar . rival in Augusta. In addition to man posts of responsibility, he has for thir-. five years been a director of the Hehre* Orphan Asylum, of Atlanta, Georgia. No account of Mr. Slusky’s life wouk be complete without mention of his f a ? r ily. Mrs. David Slusky has alwav* her absorbed in her husband’s affairs, and her unwavering support and encouragt ment constitute a large factor in his mh cess. Mr. and Mrs. Slusky have one child, their son Mosc, who is following his father’s footsteps, assuming man\ nf the business responsibilities of the firm r David Slusky Sc Son, as well as taking up a large portion of the burden of chi responsibility borne by his father for long a time.

THE GORGEOUS DESTKOUK (Continued from page 9) In The Hooligan at The Gate, in whir* he paid his respects to the motion P" ture, he wrote one of the greatest piece* of invective that the language boa*t* Nathan, who fulminates against motion pictures every night from his Olvrapu* wrote a superb article on that exqui'itf child, Lillian Gish! All of which prose* that which Irving Babbitt and Eva D Gallienne never suspected or will ever admit, that the gorgeous destroyer is «*- cessively human. The first time I met Nathan I wa- wit" him in a party of four, the other tw being a Broadway theatrical producer ar.: Mencken. The only thing I could worm out of Nathan concerning the stage WJ ' that "A1 Jolson makes me laugh my head off," and that the plays of Charley Hoyt had not been ranked high enough a* g ( " v American satire. When Nathan gets away from th; drama he has immense fun with America and the world in general, but there i* * r indifference at bottom about these mat ters that he never shows when he is o' 1 his real job—the theatre. The ind ence seems to me to be a bit too sti lie*- His paradoxes sometimes creak (like - >n,f of my own). I can too often see th< ma chine working, and the belts and t® r wheels are not always oiled. But it a in the day’s work and the sum ton I <lt Nathan’s work in the field of the d ami especially makes for taste and cu of which we have little enough in A n* r ' ica at the present time. * THE SOUTHERN ISRAEI TE
