than his own efforts would ever have
been able to arouse.
A remarkable statement which was
issued this week by James N. Rosen-
berg, who for 10 months acted as
European Director for the Joint Dis
tribution Committee, tells us of a
much more efficient way of combat
ing anti-Semitism. The work done by
the Joint Distribution Committee, to-
gether with the American Relief Ad-
ministration, to mitigate the suffer-
ing of the Russian Jew and non-Jew,
the millions of children fed and thous-
ands of intellectuals saved from STAR
walton by these two institutions
this work, we learn from Mr.. Rosen-
berg's statement, is proving to be a
most effective means of combating
anti-Semitism in Russia and of de-
finitely doing away with the terror
of pogroms which hung over the Rus
sian Jew as Damocles' sword. Here
was way, through the positive noble

JEWS POOR PROPAGANDIsTs

JEWS POOR PROPAGANDIsTs
The Jew is usually depicted as an
excellent propaganda, as one who
will only too loudly draw the atten-
ton of the public to his activities.
Many who mean well to the Jews
warn them against getting into the
limelight too often and too obtru-
sively.
1t may indeed be true chat Jews
are loud in their defense, but it would
be mistake to call them efficient or
clever propagandists. Whenever
Jew is wronged his brethren are GER
tainly ready enough to protest loud
ly against the injustice. If the Jew
is accused of Bolshevism, or if an
INSCRIPTIONS owner of wealth as
Henry Ford makes anti-Semitic agita-
ton his hobby, an unlimited flood of
Jewish replies and of either invective
or apologize literature follow. The
loud and violent replies given by
Jews to Ford's attacks have done
much more to attract attention and

propaganda of the deed, which is
more convincing than the best speech
or leafiet. Defending the honor of
the Jew against the attacks of ignor-
ant or malicious anti-Semites who,
as experience has shown, are not ac-
cessible to argument, is a fruitless
task, indeed. The Jew defends him
self too much. He tries too little to
tell the public what he is doing, how
he lives. Instead of negative, apol-
ogetic defense, it would be the more
subtle, efficient method (and surely in
better taste) of reaching the under
standing of the good elements among
the non-Jews if he were to adopt the
more positive method. - Gershon
Agronsky.

longer hair. Fashion, brothers, fash
ion is the arbiter of woman's dress;
not serviceability. Women don't

BILE: not bit of it but because it is
the Fashion. Goodness gracious, way
in the '60s and '70s women tried
to wear boomers and pantaloons be-
cause the originators really believed
they were sensible but they couldn't
put, 'em over. But let some French
actress or French model wear any
article of apparel regardless of how
extreme and it becomes the fashion.
But I will end right here because I
know that am treading on ground
that even angels would fear to tread.
Norman Hapgood has this to say
in the latest issue of "Hearst's Inter-
national" "Reactionaries and radicals
are often equally sweeping. The radi-
Gals who have accused Harvard of re-
action in the Jew problem are talk
ing noise. 1t is the business of a
University not only to distribute
knowledge but to maintain culture.
The Jews have an intensive culture of
their own. The Jews will approve of
a sieve that will add cultural tests TO
mere tests of industry, but they, like
all liberals, see moral and intellectual
death in discrimination by race.
Moreover as matter of fact is there
any such emergency as President Low
ell thinks? The Crandgent committee,
now at work can be trusted to face
the question of cultural standards
with advantage not only to the Chris
tians but to the Jews as we'll; not
only to Americans Of long residence
here, but to newcomers whether
Poles, Russians, Italians or French
Canadians. They will no doubt find
some test that will protect University
standards without singing out one
race" -
/ am pleased to see Mr.. Hapgood
feeling so comfortable about the mat
ter; I cannot say that I sympathize
with his position.
l have been criticized for criticizing
Henry Morgenthau. There is no
doubt but Mr.. Morgenthau is very
useful citizen and good Jew. Like
most of US he has weakness for
publicity that frequently makes him
the. target for criticism. In his desire
to keep himself on the front page he
occasionally does indiscreet things.
For example he never had any bust
ness to be the head of the Commits
sion to investigate the Polish atroci-
ties. And am of the opinion that
some of his friends advised against
it; but he couldn't resist the lure of
publicity, and the fame. In the mat
ter of the Austrian rehabilitation he
was criticized and he ought to be.
The worst anti-Semitic country on the
face of the earth deserves scant con-
sideration at the hands of any Jew.
Mr.. Morgenthau called on the Pope;
that's nothing. So did former candi
date Cox, who has somewhat the same
weakness as Mr.. Morgenthau. Each
made quite news item of it. That's
pardonable vanity. In instances of
