Purely Commentary

Prof. Goodenough's story of Philo Judaeus de-
serves lengthy review. It is a splendid volume.
It is marvelous as an introduction to the study
of the Jewish philosopher's life and work for stu-
dent and teacher alike, for layman and rabbi,
for Jew and non-Jew.
Author of another volume on Philo, Dr. Goode-
nough's current book, issued by Yale University
Press, New Haven, Conn., deals with Philo as
Jew, as merchant, as interpreter of events of his
time, as negotiator with his neighbors. There are
valuable quotations from his works and interest-
ing comments on ancient history. It is excellent as

Seldes' "Witch Hunt"

George Seldes' "Witch Hunt" is of great value
for those interested in the present political and
economic conditions in this country. It is a mar-
velous expose of a situation which seeks a scape-
goat, and finds him in redbaiting.
Mr. Seldes goes to extremes, especially when
he seeks to discredit the Roosevelt program as
leaning towards witch-hunting. True enough, he
gives the President credit for having given this
country a great program for social betterment.
But Mr. Seldes believes that Mr. Roosevelt is
making an about face and is leaning towards the
royalists. He does not prove this point.
But he does prove that there is grave danger
in America from those elements who are out to
find or to create a bogey under the guise of red-
baiting, when as a matter of fact in many in-
stances it is an effort to destroy the union labor
movement.
"Witch Hunt" is an indispensable book in the
study of the libertarian movement. Those who
are concerned that democratic ideals should pre-
vail must read this important book.

around to looking into his own activities. How-
ever, it is interesting to note that a comparatively
unknown persons aptly replied to the President:
`Where there is muck to be raked, it must be
raked, and the public must know of it,
that it may mete out justice . . . Publicity
is a great purifier because it sets in motion the
forces of public opinion, and in this country pub-
lic opinion controls the course of the nation.'
The speaker is now Chief Justice Hughes."
George Seldes' "final word to consumers of
newspapers" is: "Eternal vigilance," said Thomas
Jefferson, "is the price of liberty." This is also
our final word. Without such vigilance we are
lost. And vigilance can not be silent.
