November:
"If we let go and let our
hearts guide us exclusively in
the midst of the endless tales of
cruelty and destruction, we
shall soon be in the booby-hatch.
But that, my good friends, is
exactly what little Adolf would
want us to do.
"If in this terrible crisis we
allow our emotions to get the
upper hand, we shall be lost.
No decent human being can hope
to survive the hideous things
that are happening today to his
fellow-menfor more than just
so long. Ate
r he will go
to pieces. Our doctors tell me
that one of their main difficul-
ties today is the widespread curse
of insomnia, in and by itself not
really a disease; but it weakens
our resistance, and therefore is
a direct invitation to all sorts of
unwelcome microbes.
"People should follow the ex-
ample of all intelligent physi-
cians, who have long since real-
ized that if they permitted them-
selves to become entirely wrap-
ped up in every one of their
patients, they would soon go
stark mad. They have trained
themselves to think of their pa-
tients in an entirely impersonal
manner, as scientific objects
rather than as close personal
friends. That is exactly the at-
titude we ourselves will have to
assume if we wish to survive
this present ordeal of fire. We
must, however difficult it may
be, learn to think of ourselves
as spectators at a gladiatorial
combat. We must imagine our-
selves as being seated comewhere
on the grandstand of history.
while the greatest conflict and
the most appalling drama of all
time is being enacted right be-
fore our eyes.
"Only by being wholly and
intelligently sane, shall we be
able to decide what we must do
to prevent this European con-
flict from spreading through the
bleachers. I realize that such
counsel may sound extremely
selfish in order that at the right
moment we may step in and
say: 'Enough is enough, and
now get out, all of you, so that
we can clean up this mess and
rearrange the arena for a some-
what different form of enter-
tainment, a little more to the
liking of truly civilized human
beings."
"Here is an extra bit of ad-
vice which may do you some
good. I am not going to ask
you to keep away from your
radio or your newspaper, for I
know that you won't do it, any-
way. But after every new cloud-
burst of evil tidings that has
just descended upon your unwil-
ling ears, tune in on some sta-
tion which will give you a few
minutes of Mozart or Bach or
Mendelssohn, or whoever hap-
pens to be your favorite 'com-
poser. Their melodies will soothe
your soul.
"In the end, of course, there
is only one real solution for all
our troubles, anti the name there-
of is Peace. But while the war
rages, why not try my remedy?
'You will be surprised at the
results.' And remember our duty
to mankind at large—to preserve
ourselves as well as we can for
the day when America will have
to carry on the work of the
world."

Testimonial Dinner Given in

Member Who Has Volun-

"You're in the navy now," was
the theme of a dinner given in
honor of Jack Helfand, member
of the staff of the Non-Sectarian
anti-Nazi League who has joined
a naval unit, by the executive
committee of the League, at the
Hotel Paramount.
Mr. Helfand, who has volun-
teered for service in the Navy,
will leave for the training base
at Newport, R. I. He has been
with the League over three years.
In a brief talk in which he ex-
pressed his appreciation for the
testimonial, Mr. Helfand pointed
out that he had volunteered for
the armed forces of his country
after his work with the League
had convicted him of the need
for preparedness against poten-
tial Nazi threats to our democ-
racy.
"More so, perhaps, than the
layman," said Mr. Helfand, "I
have become convinced through
the revelations of Nazi intrigue
unearthed by the League that
the danger to our country is even
greater than the general public
