"Anti-Semitism is the Social-
ism of fools," it has been said.
And what is National Socialism
and the Third Reich but the con-
secration and the sanction of this
axiom? It is true that one can
be an anti-Semite out of con-
viction. Anti-Semitism then
becomes, if we adapt a phrase of
Heeine's, not a faith, but a mis-
fortune.
But what shall we say of anti-
Semites who for 20 years have
been walking all the paths of
Israel," and who make a profes-
sion of their antipathy and a
profitable business of their hat-
red? What can be said of skill-
ful professionals who throw on
the market Jewish legends, stor-
ies and novels, and all the time
exploit them to provoke bitter-
ness against Jews, impale the
Jewish treasures they have dis-
covered—so they say—on a Swas-
tika? What shall we think of
such authors who enrich them-
selves morally at the expense of
their victims, strut abroad
tricked out with plumes stolen
from Jewish authors?
I am not thinking now of the
latest book of the Brothers
Tharaud, When Israel No Long-
er Rules." The press, in prais-
ing this work so full of admira-
tion of "Handsome Adolf" and
his followers, and of malignant
scorn for the victims of Hitler's
Aryan regime, asks very naively,
"Are the Brothers Tharaud anti-
Semites, or not?" As if this hook
and its companion volume "When
Israel Rules" could possibly
have left any doubt on this ques-
tion.
No, I am not contesting the lit-
erary ownership of the anti-
Semitic effusions of the Thar-
auds in these two books.

MENDELE'S "MARE"

But I am concerned now with
the "Wandering Mare," which
was written in October, 1932,
and published the following
April. This mare, as it happens,
is an old friend of ours—it is in
fact Mendele Mocher Seforim'e
mare. And Mendele, the "grand-
father" of Yiddish and Ilebrew
literature, Shalom Jacob Abram-
ovitch, to give him his full name,
was born in Lithuania in 1836,
and died in Odessa in 1917, and
in 1873, 60 years before the Hit-
ler era, he published his symboli-
cal tale "The Mare" ("Die
Kliatsche").
And the plot of Mendele's
blare was published in French
in Paris in 1911 by AI, Pines in
his "History of Yiddish Litera-
ture" including the phrase, "The
Wandering Mare," adopted by
the Tharauds.
The Tharauds meet their mare
in the middle of the Warsaw
Ghetto, one Eve of Sabbath:
"It is the mare of the Jewish
tale, the Prince of Israel trans-
formed into a beast by the spells
of Asmodeus, the mare that is
called the Wandering Mare,
which children are forever chas-
ing from the common with stones,
because the common is reserved
for the Christian beasts of the
village; the mare that tells its
woes to Isrolik the Fool, one of
those spirits of the Ghetto, whom
hunger is always giving him
hallucinations." •

of WSAI radio station, who dis-
cusses personal problems. It seems
that Mr, X did not feel at liberty
to intrude in a matter having to
do with Jewish race and religion,
and so to me he sent the question:
Dear Mr. X: I am desperately
fond of a young lady who undoubt-

Protestant, 1, Ilebrew. I fear mat-
rimony at the expense of the sea-
fling of the narrow-minded. I shall
not hesitate to do as my mind and
heart speak if such a decision
should be corroborated by you. Can
such a marriage be happy?

Upon hearing this, some of the
Jewish leaders fall out and return
to their cities, for they say, "We
can not afford to put ourselves in
the position of being agreeable in
any matter. Our reputations as
disagreeable persons will suffer."
But the masses of Israel are so
happy to discover one point of
agreement that joyously they en-

I ANSWER IIIM:
My dear sir: But would you
hestitate to marry if I should say
to you, "No, don't marry her!"
You will marry her, nevertheless,
and if Jehovah Himself spoke to
you, "My son, do not marry her,"
you would marry her.
And even if the supreme rabbi
of all the rabbis raid it, "Do not
marry her," still you would marry
her.
And in fact, should the supreme
rabbi intervene, I should ?ay to
him, "My dear friend, have you
ever attempted to subdue • fire by
a sermon, or a powerful wind by a
word, or have you ever commanded
the tide to recede? ... Then why
do you attempt to subdue a young
man's love which is as hot as the
fire and. like the wind and tide, is
not to be turned back?"
I might even organize all Jewry
to save you from this marriage,
summoning the multitude; "My
friends, this young man and his
progeny must be saved for Israel.
He seems to stand uncertain and
we may yet save him. Let us march
to save him for Israel."
And from far and near the hosts
of Israel march to save you. For

Aye, the trampling feet of Israel
resound on all the roads of the land
as they march upon the city in
which you reside. And Jews who

before now go arm in arm with
their neighbors, at one in the com-
