Youth Must Also Act
The Anti-Semites' Technique
In an important introductory chapter to
Konrad Heiden's "The New Inquisition,"
in which a factual statement is presented
by this eminent German on the anti-Semi-
tic horrors perpetrated in Germany, the
distinguished historian Hendrik Willem
van Loon sounds a warning against apathy
and lethargy in dealing with Nazis and
Nazism and calls for action in fighting the
menace that will also strike us "unless we
wake up to the seriousness of the moment

Mr. van Loon is of the opinion that "Hit-
ler knew perfectly well that he talked non-
sense when he began to agitate for a race
of pure Aryans, for there is no such thing
as a 'pure' Aryan and never has been. Herr
Hess, too, his trusted ghost writer, must
have had his tongue in his cheek when he
