THE MICHGA-N DAILY TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1944 musamm" - 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." ' r_ *k I- You're Not a Hayseed, if you carry one of the new straw purses from the Made- moiselle Shop.

I I I LILL I I I p 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. Classes for patients with speech de- 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. Co.

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.
