Lehman’s Fourth Term
Herbert H. Lehman, governor of the State of New York
since 1932, has just been re-elected by the people of the
Empire State, Thus he, a Jew, will be the first executive
to serve under the amended constitution of the State of J
New York, which provides an office term of four instead of
two years.
Lehman’s re-election is important. Not only because it
puts him right with such illustrious predecessors as Allred E.
Smitht and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Nor, because the
majority of people supported a Democrat in the face of a
rising Republican tide.
It is important because it showed clearly and unmistak
ably that the principle of democracy is more than a mere
word in this country.
It is important because it demonstrated to the whole
world that the “dirty business” of race prejudice and perse
cution, injected into the contest by foreign interests, has no
place in the minds of the majority of the American people.
So a dissappointed Nazi press will have to destroy the
headlines which had been prepared by orders of its guiding
spirits, headlines which were to announce to a misled German
public that “the American public has thrown off the yoke
of Jewish oppression.” And the amounts spent so lavishly
for a slimy whispering-campaign against Herbert H. Lehman
will have to be charged up to profit and loss. Or maybe
credited to experience—if Nazis ever learrr anything from
experience.
Southern Jewry proudly and cordially salutes the new
governor of the State of New York: Herbert H. Lehman.

Two Tales
Pete the barber is an Italian.
That it to say he is an Italian from
that iemote time when Italy was
an organ of civilization in the so
cial body of the world. In his.time
in Italy the memory of Garibaldi
was more heroic than Caesar’s.
He is a good barber, indeed
(with a chair in one of the best
hotels) and I know him also as an
exemplary citizen of the United
States. His long sojourn in this
country has served to enlarge the
friendly tolerance which is an in
heritance of his Italian spirit.
Were Pete still living in Italy
it would be very hard for Mr.
Mussolini to put him in a totali
tarian strait-jacket. If Mr. Mus
solini said. You must hate some
people with a total hate since they
are not of our blood, Pete no doubt
would answer: “I can’t hate peo
ple who have done no harm to
me and, besides, 1 think this better
blood thory is all baloney any
way.”
When, recently he heard about
the misfortune of a certain Aus
trian Jewish family in Vienna Pete
felt horribly distressed. He was
aware of a special reason for help
ing them: He knew their relatives
in the United States; they are, in
fact, his neighbors in the suburb
in which he lives.
The relatives were nice people,
indeed, and were among Pete’s
best friends. If Pete though in
the least of racial differences be
tween him and them it was only
to consider how lovely it all was:
He and they were friendly people
together, despite corpuscular dif
ferences. The fact is, though, that
Pete was aware of no differences
at all.
When he heard what their kins
men in Austria were suffering Pete
felt a pain that was personal, as
if it were one of his own people
who had been hurt. That such
things should be going on in the
world, he thought; that people who
had been righteous all their days
should be made to suffer as if
they were criminals.
Pete felt it was for him to rescue
these Jewish people. (They were
a father, mother and child.) Some
thing has got to be done, he said,
and somebody has got to do it.
Thank goodness, America has been
generous with him, what with the
chair in the good hotel that he had,
what with the savings he had been
able to gather.
Pete said that he, with his little
wealth, would be a cheap little
man if he did not do all he could
io help this family escape. Their
relatives in America were poorer
than he and could not give the
guarantees that would enable them
to emigrate to the United States.
Yes, he was the one to do it.
Pete has made himself sponsor for
the Jewish family; shortly they
will arrive here. . . “And,” says
Pete, “if they don’t make good in
America I can take care of them.
I’d rather feed them than let them
suffer in Austria. But I’m not
worried. They were hard-work
ing, successful people in Austria."
About the same time that I
heard about Pete the barber 1 met

in Germany, an immigrant of 15

Mr. Dietrich was distressed
about a matter. He had received I
a letter from his sister in Germany i
but he couldn’t do anything about
it. Oh, he said, if only I were a

The letter from his sister had to j

physician in Germany. In her
town she had been a beloved phy- i
sician in all the years she prac- j
tieed. People venerated her not
only for her skill but even more
for her gentleness. She was friend
and physician both.
Mr. Dietrich’s sister had known
her a long time and was very
grateful to her. She had brought

that reason she was grateful.
