mation because of their erudition or
knowledge but rather because of their
prejudices, ignorance and capacity for
hatred. This slender, tanned, middle-aged
westerner as he is described, testified
that he quoted from the Congressional
Record, broadcasts and metropoiltan
newspapers. He merely repeated anti-
Semitic diatribes and seditious utterances
of those who were authorities to him.
It is cold consolation for us who have
had to endure these anti-Semites that
this one is a self-confessed ignoramus,
but his ignorance of this law will no
doubt end his career as a publisher. The
country will hardly miss his brilliant out-
givings.
Unrealistic Resolution
The resolution of Louis Lipsky offered
at the Emergency Session of the Amer-.
ican Jewish Congress, requesting that
accredited representatives of the Jewish
people be permitted to participate at the
coming peace table in all matters affect-
ing Jewish interests seems to us to be
an unrealistic proposal.
Who are these accredited representa-
tives to represent? Certainly the Jews of
America numbering nearly 5,000,000
need no Jewish representatives. We have
equal rights politically, economically,
culturally and religiously with all other
peoples in the country and we need no
other than American representatives. The
tiated peace, promised the German peo-
ple that they would be treated justly
in economic matter. Perhaps the German
people are skeptical of British assurances
because Britain has in the past profited
by her military victories, but we are in
a different position. At the end of World
War I we did not profit from the war.
We refused to accept even a mandate.
We fed the starving Germans. The older
inhabitants of the Reich who are on the
home production front remember this.
We loaned them billions of dollars to
rebuild and expand their industries and
utilities.
Our moral authority is great and our
good faith is unquestioned among mil-
lions of older Germans. We should take
advantage of conditions that now prevail
in the Reich, by assuring them that we
will not impose an unjust and vengeful
peace.
If we do not do this, then trapped,
desperate, hopeless people will fight on
because they have been told countless
times by Goebbels and Company that a
worse fate awaits them than anything
that has happened in the history of
Europe.
A speedy ending of the war is devoutly
wished for by everybody. If the victory
can be hastened by breaking German
morale, we would be remiss if we did
not do everything in our power to achieve
his result.
No More Monkey Business!
