All the totalitarian states, Italy, Germany and Soviet Rus- sia, made music part of the political education of the masses. Modern music in the West is considered an expression of the moods of the times and music is neither created nor per- formed in a social vacuum. Richard Wagner knew this. He composed his lyrics and music in order to ex- press the yearnings of the Germans for something superhuman and, at the same time, to mold them into a unified nation to which Jews could not be- long. Wagner created that kind of intellectual under- pinnings for the Third Re- ich. Nazism without Wagner is simply unthink- able. It was Hitler's kind of music — bombastic, de- structive, debasing. Wagner's concept of fire and flames, destruction and desecration is completely alien to Jewish thought and teachings. For the Jew the end of the world can never come. Sure, when Wagner's music was in vogue, Jews were among his ardent followers. They de- veloped a strange under- standing and apprecia- tion for this new accumu- lation of sound. Running after everything that is new, some of them felt so deeply for his mystical figures that they named their sons Siegfried or gave them other names straight out of Wagner's perceptions. Only a few months ago, at the Vienna Opera, a Jewish professor went on stage and tore an anti-Wagner article written by another Jewish professor into a thousand Campus Caravan NEW YORK — Five members of the North American Jewish Students Network recently com- pleted a month-long, eight- state, 6,000 mile tour of small campuses to meet with unaffiliated Jews. The group visited schools -in Alabama, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir- ginia and Ohio. pieces. The audience went wild and could not applaud enough. If emotions run that high, we know we are in trouble. The question remains• only whether self-respect and conscious living as a Jew will win out. It is an uphill fight. ternational Center July 11-13. The conference is being organized, the Spe- cial Committee an- nounced, "in cooperation with the Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization, the Organ- ization of African Trade Union Unity and the World Peace Council." Blum said that the Spe- cial Committee did not issue a report on the financial as- pects of the upcoming con- ference as the rules of the UN require, and it is also illegal because it lacks Gen- eral Assembly authoriza- tion. He accused the Special Committee of bias against Israel, charging that many of the 18 members of the committee represent coun- tries that trade with South Africa on a much larger scale than Israel. He said that the decision to hold the conference was "the height of its (the committee's) anti-Israel campaign." "The entire resolution is a travesty," Blum said. "We demand that this illegal de- cision of the Special Com- mittee on Apartheid be re- scinded forthwith." 1(.
