Aiken's Inspired Editorial One winter day several years ago, William A. Aiken and his friend Mac Grogan were driving peacefully to the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph, where both were advertising department em- ployes. Suddently. they noticed a nauseating display on a wall—and then several others in various parts of the city. Swastikas decorating the slogan Jews Go Home" was the greeting that met their anguished eyes all along the route to work. Aiken was outraged. and Grogan. a Jew, was sick with disgust. When they got to the office, Aiken relates that his Jewish friend was - in a blue funk, holding his head in his hands, staring at his desk, and not saying a word." To WILLIAM A. AIKEN cheer up his co-worker, he sat down and spontaneously penned a five- paragraph note. When Grogan read it. he immediately recognized its extraordinary quality and insisted that it be submitted to the paper for publication. Birth of An Editorial That was the origin of an edi- torial so moving and eloquent that it has since been picked up by editors from Maine to California who hailed it as "The Editorial of the Decade." Aiken recently re- ceived an award from the Young Judean Lodge of Trenton, N.J., where the editorial was published in a daily newspaper and by the local English-Jewish press. When it appeared, readers in- sisted on learning more about the writer, and Aiken was traced to Seattle. where he now lives. In describing how he wrote the piece, Aiken said he hadn't planned it for publication. merely as a let- ter to a friend, to let him know he didn't have to "go home" that he was home. It was, he said, "pure- ly an emotional thing." Aiken's celebrated editorial fol- lows: "A Reply to Scrawlers" "Jews go Home"—well now, this is nothing new. Never in the past have you ever taken this gentle suggestion to move on. But Heaven forbid, suppose just this once, you thought that expression of a few sick people actually ex- pressed the conviction of all the people in this wonderful land of ours, and all of you started to pack your bags and leave for parts unknown. Just before you leave, would you do me a favor? Would you leave your formula for the Salk Vaccine with me b e f ore you leave? You wouldn't be so heart- less as to let my children con- tract polio? And would you please leave your knack for government, and politics and persuasion and liter- ature and good food, and fun and love, and all those things, and would you please leave me the secret of your drive to succeed? And please, have pity on us, please show us the secret of how to develop such geniuses as EM- stein and Steinmetz and oh so many others, who have helped us all. After all, we owe you most of the A-Bomb, most of our rocket research and perhaps the fact that we are alive today, in- stead of looking up from our chains and from our graves to see an aging, happy Hitler drive slowly by in one of our Cadil- lacs. On your way out, Jews, will you do me just one more favor? Will you please drive by my house and pick me up too? I'm just not sure I could live too well in a land where you weren't around to give as much as you have given to us. If you ever have , to leave, love goes with you, democracy goes with you, everything I and all my buddies fought for in World War H goes with you; God goes with you. Just pull up in front of my house, slow down and honk, because so help me, I'm going with you, too. Tyrants It is worthy of observation. that the most imperious masters over, their own servants, are at the same time, the most abject slaves to the servants of other masters. —Seneca.
