ANTI-SEMITISM DISCUSSED:
Samuel Talks on Jewish Future
"Are we merely objects of history,
or can we offer the world something
constructive?" With this question,
Maurice Samuel began his analysis
of "The Jew in the World of Tomor-
row," Sunday, in a filled Rackham
Ampitheatre.
F
i
l
Samuel castigated those Jews who
continually bemoan the sorrowful
fate that has fallen upon their race
throughout history and more recent-
ly in Europe. It is true, he said, that
the Jews have suffered more than
any other group, but grieving over
their tragedy will get them only pity
from the world, and not acceptance
as partners by other peoples.
"What Is a Jew?"
Samuel asked, "Just what is a Jew?"
He defined a Jew as "a person who
cannot prove he is otherwise," thus
including even those who are thor-
oughly assimilated. "We are about
25 per cent descendants of the Pales-
tinian Jews of 2,000 years ago, and
that is something no other group
can claim. We have a certain com-
munity of religion and we have a
common fate and destiny. We also
are obstinate in maintaining our
identity," and he concluded, "we are
not quite a people."
In looking into the reasons given
for anti-Semitism, Mr. Samuel men-
tioned an economic reason, that a
larger percentage of Jews, as com-
pared with other peoples, live in ur-
ban areas working in professional
and business fields and do not live
on the land.
Appeasement Worst Course
"Some Jews," he declared, "believe
that they themselves cause anti-
Semitism. They believe that behav-
ior, the lack of assimilation or as-
similation itself cause anti-Semitism,
as if Moses brought down from Mt.
Sinai, not the ten commandments,
but Emily Post's 'Etiquette.' The
worst thing we can do is to try and
find a mode of behavior that will
placate anti-Semites. That is ap-
peasement.
"The reason for anti-Semitism is
that the negative forces of this world
see in the Jewish tradition a great
democratic force. But even the Jews
are split just as others are," he said.
"We are the bearers of a tradition
that is the complete negation of the
Nazi dream."
Reactionary Efforts
In reference to the recent out-
breaks of anti-Semitism in some Am-
erican cities, Mr. Samuel called them
"the last frantic effort of the reac-
tionary forces in this country to win
this war morally as they see the Nazis
and Japanese losing it .militarily.
"The contribution of the Jew to the
world must be a contribution to the
land in which he lives and to the
progress of the world at large. The
American Jew must realize his part
in shaping American democracy and
in working for a democratic Jewish
homeland in Palestine. Only on this
constructive level," Mr. Samuel con-
cluded, "will the Jews win what they
want."

Speech Clinic
Will He Held
This Summer
A free speech clinic for a group of
approximately 12 war veterans and
civilians havingspeech defects will
be held from July 10 to Aug. 18, Dr.
Ollie L. Backus, assistant professor of
speech and acting director of the
University Speech Clinic, announced.
Veterans will be given preference
in selecting applicants, and all appli-
cants must be interviewed by mem-
bers of the speech clinic staff. Con-
trary to peacetime practices, no chil-
dren will be accepted.
Sponsored by the speech depart-
ment and the Extension Service, the
program is being held in connection
with the regular summer session.

fects will be held six hours a day,
five days a week, for six weeks.
Patients with loss of speech due to
brain injuries, loss of voice, hearing
deficiencies with or without defective
speech, and articulation defects
caused by facial or mouth injuries
will be treated.
Feature of the clinic will be train-
ing in lip reading, for which adults
of the community and University
students who are hard of hearing
may enroll.
The program is designed not only
as a public service, Dr. Backus said,
but also as a part of the teacher-
training and research program of the
clinic.

Second Price
Survey Held
Merchants Show
Fewer Violations
Improvement was shown by local
merchants in their observation of
OPA regulations according to the
price survey held the week of April 3,
Mrs. Henry C. Branson, price clerk,
announced yesterday.
In this second survey, 76 of the
164 stores checked were in full com-
pliance with the law, in contrast to
only 18 out of 182 stores complying in
the first check.
Violations on New Items
At the same time these 164 stores
were checked on 'ten new items, with
68 found in compliance and 96 in
violation.
Those merchants found violating
the regulations for the second time
are to be called in to meet with the
county price panel. Friday night some
of the Ann Arbor grocers falling into
this class met in conference with the
panel and pledged themselves to full
obedience in the future. If it is
found on a third survey, to be held
shortly, that they break this promise,
their cases will be referred to the
Detroit enforcement office.
Charging Illegally
Violations of as much as 15 cents
on an item above the ceiling prices
were recorded in the second survey.
Of the 88 violators discovered at that
time, 41 were reported for charging
unlawful prices, while 67 were guilty
of posting irregularities.
In the check on the ten new items,
96 violations were recorded, 53 on
prices and 69 on posting.
The local price panel went to Ypsi-
lanti last night to hear the violators
in that area.
