HILLEL KAUVAR THESE DAYS, the American public is prejudice-conscious. The President's Commission on T N Civil Rights has focused national attention on the injustice that is being perpetrated on minority groups. Prejudice may be defined as "a mental decision based on other grounds than reason or justice." It is a disease hard to. diagnose; it resembles an imaginary illness that only a skillful physician can detect.

If you do not have the same law and the same judgment for all groups equally—then you are prejudiced. There are various grades in prejudice: the harmless kind, such as prejudice against the color of wallpaper, or the dis- like of certain foods; and the dangerous prejudices that have a devastating effect upon our felowmen. The evil effects of prejudice may be noted, (1) upon the victim; (2) upon the people who hold the prejudice; (3) upon society as a whole.

The effect of prejudice upon society as a whole is evil, for so- ciety depends for its continuance, on the cooperation of its mem- bers. Tensions and hostilities due to prejudices between dif- ferent groups in a community, prevent it from making progress; development and progress can come only through cooperation, not through strife. If peoples will not work to- gether, they will be exploited against each other with the re- sult that the standard of living will be reduced, and the moral standard will be lowered. People of every race and na- tionality have contributed to the richness of our civilization, and if minority groups are prevented from making this contribution, we are denied the personal rich- ness that comes from the min-' gling of peoples. • PREJUDICE ROUSES the worst instincts within us, and thus hurts the perpetrator; the victim of prejudice may lose his life, but the evil-doer loses his soul. Prejudice and hate corrupt character, undermine s o c i e t y, breed war and obliterate the de- cencies of civilization. I have no panacea for the plagues of hate or bigotry or greed—or the mal- adjustments of life. But I should like to suggest these remedies: • • We can reduce the evils of prejudice by fostering good- will, and by detecting and eliminating prejudice. In order to neutralize prejud- Prejudice affects the whole ife of its victim. It often forces him to live amidst squalor and dis- ease, and denies him the oppor- tunity to earn a livelihood. • • • PREJUDICE MAY be a pin- prick of social discrimination, or a sword-thrust of economic boy- cott, or a political disability al- lowing a minority group only. the Best Wishes for Passover 10328 DEXTER • ISRAEL'S INDUSTRY SERVES ITS FARMS: A skilled machinist at a factory in Israel examines parts for agricultural machinery.

Gets asic Department ice, it is well to look at the record of every case and to find out the true facts, because judgment can- not rise higher than the level of information. Truth is the best means of dispelling the fogs of fanaticism and of slander, and will be an antidote for poisonous propaganda. Each one can test his own measure of bigotry and prejudice by the simple test of brotherhood. The words of the Jewish sage will help us keep our balance, namely, "Do not judge your fellow-man until you have come to his place," and "What is hate- ful unto thee, do not do unto another."
