ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
In a new motion picture re-
cently released by the Joint De-
fense Appeal, Quentin Reynolds,
noted foreign correspondent, au-
thor and radio commentator, de-
clares that it is the duty of every
Jew in America to support the
Joint Defense Appeal and the
fight against anti-Semitism. The
picture stars Mr. Reynolds as
narrator.
The film, a 30-minute pictorial
analysis of anti-Semitism, de-
cribes in detail the work of the
American Jewish Committee and
the Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith in fighting the evil
of bigotry and racial find religi-
ous intolerance. The work of
these two agencies is made pos-
sible by contributions to the
Joint Defense Appeal.
Entitled "Linked in Freedom's
Cause," the film shows how the
two defense agencies combat the
un-American elements, exposing
their plans and safeguarding our
traditional American liberties.
Interested Jewish groups who
want to see this picture and to
hear the complete narration of
Mr. Reynolds, may obtain a loan
of 16-mm. sound prints of the
film by making a request to Ja-
cob Schwab, Public Relations di-
rector, Joint Defense Appeal, 119

BOOK REVIEW

(Continued from Page 5)

short stories for their naturalism and psychology and Tolstoy's "War

and Peace" and Dostoyevsky's "Brothers Karamazoff" for tense and
deep delving into human soul. While I have read these books several
times, I can reread them again and again.
When I feel like delving into depths of human emotions, I can
open either of these two novels, which I would consent to replace
with either Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" or any novel by Emil Zols.
of the series of Rougon Mackart. I would then follow it with a
work little known to the Western or English reading public--a
book entitled: "History of My Contemporanian", by Vladimir Koro-.
lenko, another Russian. This autobiography shows more the human.
ism of its author, who is known as "Russia's conscience", but like
its author it creates a feeling of benevolence and forgiveness for
human faults and defects. Of all the love stories I still prefer the
old melodramatic "La Dame auz Camelias", by Alexander Dumas,
the story known in this country as "Camille" and in opera as Tra-
viata. The simple story about a prostitute who falls in love with
a man of respectable classes and nobly gives him up still is able
to jerk out a tear from these hardened eyes.
I may not appear sincere when I claim that among the 10 books
I would select I name Shopenhauer's "The world as Will and Idea",
for it keeps me from becoming self satisfied and an escapist and
helps to bring out my will Inclined as I am to admire and conscious-
ness, for as Shopenhauer words it: "Consciousness Is the mere sur-
face of our minds, of which as of the earth, we do not know the
inside, but only the crust", and "The will is the strong blind man
who carries on his shoulders, the lame man who can see".
That leaves me three more books to choose from several thous.
ands. I will then take "Jean Christoph", by Romain Rolland, "Grouth
of the Soil," by Knut Hamsun, and "The Villa on The Rhein," by
Bertold Auerbach.

These are not the best books in the world literature although
they are all works of first class writers; I chose them because I like
them best. But, as the Latins used to say: "Quot homines tot opinions."
Everybody to his taste.

"OLD GOLD" IS BACK
On another page of today's is
sue is an advertisement of "Old
Gold" cigarettes. This, in itself,
would not be a cause for com-
ment, were it not for the fact
that amongst the first victims in
the 2nd World War was adver-
tising in the foreign language
press.
We are sure our readers will
join with us in welcoming back
"Old Gold" as the first cigarette
to enter the foreign language
press in the new era following
the war and believe that they
will show the same friendly con-
sideration to this well known ad-
vertiser as they do to all those
