INSIDIOUS ANTI-JEWISH
PROPAGANDA.

The modern press has a way all
its own to carry on an insidious
propaganda against those that have
incurred it's displeasure, or the dis
pleasure of those in control of af-
fairs. No direct preachment, no
editorial comment is necessary. The
news columns are utilized, and the
fertile imagination of the scribes
supplies the news, gives it the prop
er coloring, judiciously drops word
here and there, and the trick is done.
That the Jew is the arch-hend
that has let loose the peril of Boil
shevism upon the world has be-
come automatic with the gentlemen
in control of our press. Nothing
will convince them of the baseless-
ness of this idea. Trotzky looms
large upon the journalistic horizon,
and Trotzky, of course, means all
the Jews. What brutes these Jew

understanding will prove the former
human, and the latter non-exception-
al. What more can any writer hope
to accomplish than to portray her
characters without exaggeration?
It might also be in place to men
ton that Eliot does not speak Of the
Jew as problem, although she does
deal with the Jewish problems. In
fact, she gives presentation of the
hope for a restoration of the Jew to
Palestine, which, in the light of re-
cent events that bring the establish
ment of Jewish homeland nearer,
is little short of prophetic. Added to
that is the beautiful presentation at
the hands of master in imprisoned
portrayal. Could the novelist see
how fully the sentiments she put
into the mouth of the idealist Nor
decai have been realized, how large
a part those very aspirations have
come to play in the heart and mind
of myriads Of, Jews and countless
non-Jews, she would feel that her
approval of Daniel Deronda" was
indeed justifed.-C. D. M.

GEORGE ELIOT.

Saturday, November p, will be
the hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Mary Ann Evans, who, un-
der the nom de plume George
Eliot" has given to English litera-
ture the finest novels of any of Eng
lands many gifted women, and in
deed some of the finest fiction in the
language. But the anniversary
should be of interest to the Jews, be-
cause in George Eliot we have per-
haps the most sympathetic and the
fairest representation of the Jew in
English literature. What impresses
the student of her writings, both
prose and verse, is the fair treat
ment she accords the Jewish char
acters; also the degree of her famil-
iarity with things Jewish. The nov
elist declared that before she wrote
Daniel Deronda" she had read no
less than two hundred books, main
ly on Jewish topics.
That she is fair to the Jew is true
in every sense of the word. She
saves them from being monsters OF
wickedness, as is too often the case
with the Jew in literature. But she
also spares them from figuring as
paragons of virtue. After all that is
what the Jew asks, and nothing
more. We want to be considered
lust as we are-with our faults and
with our virtues. Sympathy and

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

ish Bo1sheviki are can best be told
in detached news items.
A girl, supposedly leading spirit
among the Russian Bolshevists, is
captured by the anti-Bolshevik
forces. Her guilt is detailed, con-
sisting of innumerable brutal, cold
blooded murders committed by her.
But before the gruesome story is
concluded, hint is dropped that
she comes from the ghetto.
It may interest the reader to
know that the correspondent who
sends out this poisoned item to the
world bears a Polish or Ukrainian
name. The Jews in this and other
countries have not been silent re-
garding the many outrages perpe-
trated against their kinsfolk by
Poles and Ukrainian reactionaries.
How can such Jewish plants and
protests be counteracted? The
press furnishes the means. An item
about the brutalities of some Boil
shevist girl from the "ghetto" is at
the present time worth more to our
enemies than all the vaporings of
all the Jew-haters here and abroad.
1t is the most damnable anti Jewish
propaganda that has ever been de-
vised.

columns of the Jewish Chronicle are
full to OVERLOOKING with the protests
of indignant correspondents against
Mentors" attack. And the worst
of it is that the indignant correspon-
dents practically admit that his de-
scription is true to life and his ar
raignment we'll deserved But it is
one thing to know it, and another
thing to proclaim and to publish it.
The Truth, after all, hurts. The in
dignant correspondents also point to
the fact that Birmingham Jewry's
condition is not at all unique; that
London, Manchester and Glasgow
are in no way different. That is sad.
What are the causes? Some
would blame it on the type of Eng
lish Jewry's rigid unyielding official
orthodoxy others on the destructive
spirit of liberalism or Reform that
has of late manifested itself. Some
lay the blame at the door of the spir-
itual leaders who fail to lead; others
at the door of the communal leaders
who often mislead The truth is
that the causes are the same that
have brought on similar process OF
disintegration in all the Jewries of
the Western World.
They are found in the new spirit
of the times, the unsettled condi-
tons that now prevail in every prov
ince of life, the swinging of civilized
humanity's pendulum in the direc-
ton of a Grass materialism, and the
continued pressure upon Jewry
from without, the Jews endless
struggle with his environment.
And what will remedy the evil !?
We ask our anti-Zionist friends to
tell us and to enlighten us.

TIPS.

Ten young ladies, employed in the
check rooms of Chicago '1oop"
hotel, are suing for their tips, which
average about $1,000 daily. We
learn that the hotel keeps the money
as part of it's income The girls
claim that the extras" were given to
them personally for various services
rendered.
A small Jewish restaurant on the
West Side, run on the cooperative
plan, does otherwise. 1t absolutely
prohibits tips. Signs, plainly
printed in English and Yiddish,
state that fact. The walters are
paid a just wage and expect no tips,
which, in Socialist circles, are
equivalent to an insult. They con-
slider the taking of a tip as lower
ing themselves to the level of mental
before master.
The more we think it over, the
more do we applaud the restaurant
attitude. How many people would
give tip if they knew it went to the
firm instead of the girl in the check
room? We imagine very few. Jews
are prodigal with tips-in public
places-but we hope this lawsuit
will open their eyes. Let us dis
courage tips. If hard to break with
custom, it is the correct thing to do.
Let us pay for honest service, that
and for that alone. DIR. Rudolph l.
