Random Thoughts
BY Charles III. Joseph.

Hearst's International Magazine had
increased since the appearance of
Hapgood's articles attacking Ford,
and he told me that he could not get
enough to supply the demand: that
he had just come from the general
distributing magazine agency and had
taken every single copy they could
get and these would be sold in a
couple of days. And pointing to Nc
Clure's Magazine, which is running
one of these inspired Qualifications of
Ford's life, he said that that maya
zine was decreasing and that he
could not sell them. He further am
plified his statement with the remark
that "the people were fed up to the
neck with Ford and were tired of his
advertising himself" I am interested
to hear from McClure's Magazine just
what has been the effect of this play
ing up of the Worlds Greatest Ego

I am in receipt of lengthy COM
munication from an Austrian noble
man, Count Vandalin-Muiszech de
Prade who it seems has fallen from
his high estate before the war and
is now homeless and penniless and he
attributes his misfortunes to the fact
that he has championed the cause of
the Jew in that country. His friends
turned their backs on him and what
ever he has touched seems to have
led to misfortune. Thanks to a Mr..
Gottfried of New York he was able to
obtain money for roof over his head
but he has nothing for food for him

paragraph appears I shall have COM
plete details of the whereabouts of
this unfortunate man so that anyone
who is interested may obtain full in
formation. His story seems to bear
all the earmarks Of authenticity and
if it should prove that he is a martyr
to the cause Of the Jew then it would
be a gracious act on the part of some
of our people to help him.

VIENNA ANTISEMITIC "SONG
OF HATE''

Vienna q. C. B.)-The "Michel,'
pronounced anti-Semitic publication,
which also appears in Leipzig and
Prague, publishes song expressing
its wishes with regard to the future
of the Jewish race:
Lord God, again let Moses come
That he may lead his brethren home
Into the Promised Land.
Then let the sea once more divide
And like two walls on either side
Ordain that it should stand.
And then when it is surely seen
That all the Jews are in between
Then let the sea upon them fall
That peace at last may come to all!

A well meaning but wholly mis-
guided Jewish lady of Buffalo, N. Y,
writes to the editor of the "Jewish
Daily News" advocating the estab-
lishment of two Jewish Universities
because among other advantages
"Jewish students would be more at
tached to their religion and would
not eat ham sandwiches in school.
Moreover, the students would not be
forced to be backward in their stud
holidays and the Jewish spirit, would
of course, prevail in a Jewish institu-
ton"
I am afraid the Jewish lady wants
to assist our worthy anti-Semite
Hilaire Belloc in his ambition to Sc
gregate the Jews in every field of
life. This is America and not Pales-
tine and there is no reason why Jews
should become thorough-going sep
aratists and hold themselves aloof
from those activities which are pecu-
liarly American and in which every
American citizen should participate.
I am afraid that persons holding the
views of the young lady from Buffalo
would be in favor of distinct garb
for the Jews. I would advise course
in Americanization for Miss Edith
Safren.
An astonishing result has been dis
closed through the votes of over

were in favor of it's modification to
include light wines and beer and
$4,000 were in favor of it's repeal,
thus indicating 100000 votes of the
100000 votes cast as opposed to the
present Prohibition Amendment.
When one realizes that these votes
comes from the so-called "better ele-
ment" which includes teachers,
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, bust
ness men, bankers and others in the
higher walks of life the result is all
the more remarkable. One can ina

to hear from McClure's Magazine just
what has been the effect of this play
ing up of the Worlds Greatest Ego
fist.
Mary Austin, the we'll known au-
thor writing a criticism of Ludwig
Lewisohn's cup Stream" for "The
Dial' makes this rather interesting
and significant statement: "The Jew
has tremendous sense of tribe. Once
he has given his heart to the tribe of
United Staters, he looks for that
quick, constant response from the hui
man elements of his environment,
need for which has been created in
him by centuries Of enforced solidari-
ty. Instead he finds the cool space
that insures the tap-rooted American
against invasive intimacy. During
it's first centuries America was large
ly populated by men motivated by the
desire for non-interference. Some of
us can recall when the actual spacing
of the crowd in Western streets was
sharply expressive of the feeling gen.
eralized in the cliches of the mining
camps as Don't Crowd Me-" Later
accessions to the population from
thickly- populated tribal-minded CEN
trail Europe, are chilled to the mar
row by the failure of personal re-
Spouse, but their efforts to overcome
it by ELUSIVE familiarities produce in
the native born disposition to goose
flesh of the social surfaces. If, as
happens in the case of young Levi
sohn the situation is pointed by some
such incident as his tacit exclusion
from the Greek Fraternity organized
among his schoolmates it is sure to
be interpreted in terms Of social OBJ
duracy."
Frankly, when I read the "Dial' I
am kept busy carefully sorting over
the sentences I read in a bewildered
attempt to get at the heart of their
meanings. After considerable CROP
ing believe that I have gained some
light on what Mrs. Austin is driving
at, but I think her premise is wrong.
There is a natural antipathy to alien
peoples; and that holds true whether
the German happens to be the native
and the American the alien or the
reverse; even the dogs of CONSTANT
pay oI1AAAliy VII JoNA WA o.N
and discourage the "invasive init
macy" as Mary Austin says of out
side dogs. I don't believe the anti
pathy to the Jew in this country has
been due to the fact that the Ameri-
can wants lots of room to stretch and
resents the crowding familiarity OF
the emotional Jew. There are a
great many reasons deeper than that

world. Of course there is always the
natural antagonism to outsiders"
squatting on what we believe to be
OUR territory. Naturally the Jew is
intense in his tribal expression; he
wants to be at home and to make
himself at home in the country and
among the people to which he has
come. He would like to mix with his
neighbors but his neighbors won't
mix with him. For Miss Austin's
benefit I beg to remind her that the
