THE ANTIDOTE

According to press report, Jewish
organizations in the United States
I have voted $1,000,000 to counteract
defamation of the Jews. If every
.1( w behaved himself as he should in
keeping with the regard that he owes
, to the reputation of his people, there
would be no need to fight slander. It
would defeat itself. You might as
well try to decry flowers as to oleo-
fame good men. It is true that Me
world is illogical in judging the Jews,
condemning the }11101} because of the
few. Since this is so the wiser thing
I would be to reduce or eliminate this
1. few. Instead of }pending money to
I tight the foul mouths of others, let
the Jews spend even more to educate
!, and inspire their people religiously
anol they will be enabled in time toe
challenge defamation to attempt its
i worst. The antidote to detraction is
duty.—The Supplement.
