Recalling This friendship for
and visits with Clemenceau,
Baruch recalls: "When he took
me to meet his friends, he in-
troduced me as the 'Prince
d'Israel.' He ,would say, 'You
know, Baruch, your people are
a great pleople when they are
great. They seem to rise to a
finer spirit of service in the
cause of humanity than any
other people. I always pro-
tested earnestly and -,sincerely
that I have never believed
Jews were any better or worse
than other people. I have al-
ways felt that human beings
everywhere react in much the
same way in similar circum-
stances. Human emotions are
the same in all of us."
He never failed to protest
against anti-Semitism. Baruch re-
lates his experiences with •Ignace
Jan Pederewski, "hailed as one
of - the world's great pianists,
pleading the cause of reborn Po-
land with the same fiery elo-
quence he displayed on t h e
keyboard." At this point Baruch
tells the following:
"Once I attended a meeting
with this patriot and his col-
league, Stanislaw Grabsk i.
Grabski complained at great
length that reports of Polish
pogroms, in which many Jews
had been killed and brutal-
ized, were exaggerated. 'When
you stick them with a pin,
they cry as if stuck 'with a
bayonet,' he said scornfully,
to explain the mounting pro-
tests against these outbreaks
of hate and violence. 'Why
stick them at all?' I asked."
* * *
The references in the just-con-
eluded Presidential campaign to
the elder Henry Cabot Lodge
must arouse special interest in
Baruch's thorough dislike for the
grandfather of the 1960 Republi-
can candidate for Vice President.
