Refuse to Let Rooms To U. S. Jewish Students Editorial The American Way vs. Vandalism Miami's rabbis are correct in rejecting the proposal of the Jewish War Veterans to provide armed protection to houses of worship which are believed to be threatened by additional acts of terrorism by vandals who have been at large in recent weeks. The Justice Department and the Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation have stepped into the picture to' assist local authorities in efforts to preserve order, and the Jewish community should place faith in these law- preserving bodies. We would be in a bad way indeed if it were to become necessary for individual groups to resort to their own means for the protection of life and property. That would mean the end of the American way of life and the beginning of an era of reaction. We refuse to believe that our democracy has failed so thoroughly that it cannot cope with vandalism and that private bodies will have to assume responsibility for their own. protection. On the contrary, we believe that order will be restored through the due processes of the law. The Tsarist conditions, when Jews were compelled to organize self-defense groups, still are within our memory. We recall vividly the heroic, albeit frantic, formation of squads which held vigil against pogromists in Russia. The Jews of those days were untrained, unused to handling weap- ons. Yet they were compelled to organize for the protection of their families and their neighbors. But that was in Russia, where the massacres were engineered by the government itself, where JeWs had no chance either in or out of court, a where the authorities themselves encouraged looting in order to share in the wholesale robberies that followed the attacks upon the Jews. We would be untrue to our position as American citizens if we were to dare compare the sporadic occurrences in Miami to the pogroms in Russia. They are as distantly re- moved as Russia from the United States, as slavery from freedom, as injustice from righteousness. Yes, the Miami rabbis are right. We have faith that the Floridian incidents will end and that the American way will prevail, and the Jewish War Veterans have convinced us in our opinion by dropping their impractical plan. U. S.
