PAGE FOUR THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Infant Lives Saved by Straus' Milk Stations Now Property of N. Y. City The Fear of Anti-Semitism. Those who are students of Jewish history and character, are at all times conscious of the large part played in them. by the fear of the anti-semite and his machinations. Throughout all time, the Jew has been faced with the chicanery and the malevolence of people who either did not understand him, or who did not wish to. Constantly beset with suspicion, hate, misapprehension, or downright wickedness, the Jew was oftimes given to shape his acts and thoughts with a view to the favorable notice of the non-Jewish world. Lomb yom'ru ha-goyim—what does the gentile think? was a question frequently asked by this or that Jew- ish group. Do not demand this right; or put your honest Jewish principle in some other phrasing; or -concede this insistent Jewish ideal — were some of the ways in which the fear of anti-sernitism deflected the true current of Jewish thought. To be sure, we should have no apology for the mood, albeit we can fully understand it. The position was degrading to Jewish character and idealism, and frequently occa- sioned a just self-disrespect.
