trated solely on the persecution
of the Jews, there might be
gone reason for other groups—
Protestant, Catholics and Neg-
roes, to mention a few—to steer
clear of the argument. But anti-
Semitism does not have for its
sole end the persecution or erad-
ication of any single group. Its
vicious ends are manifold and
strike deeper than ninny Amer-
icans are prone to believe.

"The usual purpose of anti-
Semitic campaigns is to divide
our people, to take the minds
of discontented sections of our
citizens from the real causes of
their misery, to distort, in al-
most every instant, the real rea-
son behind economic crises, and
to band together the population
in support of the program of
the reactionaries, who are con-
ducting the anti-Semitic cam-
paign in the first place. Even a
casual reading of history will
reveal that reactionaries have
always adopted the policy of
Jew-baiting, of Negro-baiting or
Catholic-baiting.
"The Jewish question, as I
have said before, is one that
demands the attention of every
American citizen, be he Chris-
tian or non-Christian. In addi-
tio to the humanitarian aspects
of the dreadful situation, there
is the necessity to preserve and
strengthen o u r watch-guard
against encroachments upon our
liberties and our precious herit-
age. Anti-semitism is a shield,
an excuse. It attempts to con-
ceal the real motives of its pro-
ponents.
"The whole cause of democ-
racy is at stake and all thinking
Americans must begin to con-
sider the Jewish question, rather
than continue to ignore it."
