The anti-Semitic scare which
is so rampant at this time
throughout the world appears
to have blinded many people
even in friendly countries like
the United States, Great Brit-
ain and France into believing
that "danger is around the cor-
ner." There are sonic propa-
gandists who want us to believe
that we may even expect massa-
cres, and we have heard an ex-
citable speaker tell us that when
America does become anti-
Semitic her efficiency will lead
us to worse troubles than our
people have ever experienced
in most backward European
countries.
History should teach us that
these warnings are unwarrant-
ed, and the scares into which
we are in danger of being led
are false spectres.
The fact is that historically
experience tells us to be more
confident and to be more at
ease about the Jewish communi-
ties in western countries. Where
there is a tradition for liberty
and justice we have less to fear.
There may be an occasional
outburst of hatred against our
people in this country and in
France and in Great Britain,
but it is hardly fair that we
should yield to despair and to
fright, when as a matter of
fact we should be encouraged
by experience.
A point in proof of our con-
tention takes us back almost
300 years. When Sweden in-
vaded Poland in 1655-58 Polish
Jews had occasion to experience
a great contrast in the attitude
of two peoples. When the
Swedes entered Poland they
treated the Jews like human
beings. It was a civilized army
which had replaced a backward
and bigoted group whose perse-
cutions of the Jews became by-
words in the history of that
period.
'The very important History of
the Jews in Russia and Poland
by S. M. Dubnow contains an
interesting paragraph with ref-
erence to this period in Polish-
Jewish history. To quote Dubs
now:

"The Jews were the only

We have a modern counter-
pact to this interesting story of
17th century Polish-Jewish his-
tory. It will be remembered
that during the war, when the
Germans invaded Russian and
Polish territory—and this must
be said in justice to the Ger-
mans in spite of the present
inhumane acts perpetrated
against the Jews—the Jewish
communities similarly found
themselves suddenly confronted
by soldiers who treated them
like human beings. As in the
case of the invasion of Poland
by the Swedes, the moment
the Germans were driven out
of Polish - Russian territory,
waves of massacres followed
because the Jews were accused
of having fraternized with the
Germans and of having aided
their cause. Even after the
war, one of the reasons given
by Poles for anti-Semitic out-
bursts was that Jews were al-
lies of Germany—and the only
cause for such an accusation
is the fact that the Jews speak
a language which is akin to

German.
It may be stated in refutation
of our contention that Ger-
many, as a Western country,
has shattered hope placed in
civilized nations as a result of
the new Nazi philosophy; that
there, too, the Jews can point
to a tradition (or emancipation
and a certain amount of lib-
erty. But there is a rut dif-
ference between the traditions
of Germany and those of this
country, France and Great
Britain. It must be remembered

Compared with the historic
attitudes which mark the back-
ward East European countries,
the lands which have a tradition

dises, and to raise • scare in
these lands of pogroms being
just around the corner is much
more than an exaggeration of

which is unfair to true lands of
liberty, and the creating of a
spirit of fright can do only
dm-age to our present position.

All arrangements have been completed for the opening of
the new branch of the United Hebrew Schools in the Mac-
Culloch Public School, located at Buena Vista and Wildemere.
Sunday, March 3, has been set as the opening day. The hours
of teaching will be the genie as in all the branches of the
Hebrew Schools, after public school hours. The first session
mill take place at 4 p. m., the second at 5:30 p. in.
A study of the Jewish child population of the upper Lin•
wood section reveals that the section bounded by Davison on
the North, 'I uxedo on the South, Fourteenth on the East and
Dexter on the West, has a Jewish school population of 2,686
children. The opening of this branch has come as a result
of the many requests from parents of that section.
'1 he news, therefore, that classes will immediately be
opened in the MacCulloch School, which, according to the
euryty, happens to be situated in the most thickly populated
Jewish section of that neighborhood, was received with enthu-
s:asm. The parents of that section are urged to register their
children immediately. without any delay. Registration will be
helm! on Sundays at the Math Yeshurun Synagogue, located
at 2625 Tyler, and on week days in Room 1106, at the Mac-
