Reading Aloud

Have you the disagreeable
habit in your home of insist
ing upon reading aloud to
others what interests you, even
though they are reading some
thing to themselves?
The one who reads thinking
ly does not want to be dis
turbed.
The one who reads aloud
usually is trying to support
some previous statement he or
she has made and takes the
opportunity to declare it again.
Some make the claim that
they are better able to under
stand the printed word and it
makes a stronger impression
upon them when they read
it aloud.
Such a person has little con-
sideration for others, but is
trying to impress his or her
own mind with what is read.
A very selfish way to get re-
suits, and usually it drives
other readers from the room.
This may be an explanation OF
why so many young folk prefer
to read or study in their own
rooms, rather than remain with
the family circle.

AND NEVER COME BACK?
If you would, you'll probably
have your chance. This country
has come to the point where
many hold that it will either
have to go agriculture or go
bust. There are far-reaching
schemes afoot for promoting in

ing jobless folk out into it.
These schemes are fostered by
those who despise city slums;
think sweat,shops are an un-
mitigated evil, and believe that
normal people love the beauty
Of growing green places.
All Of which sounds perfectly
dandy, and, undoubtedly, you
agree with them. Haven't you

THE meetings at Madison
i Square Garden, in New
York, and elsewhere, in ref
erence to the treatment OF
the German Jews, were more
in the nature of an appeal
than a protest. Never at a
public meeting in New York
since the war have so many
tributes been paid to the
genius, the culture, the
achievements of the German
race. The evident feeling
among some in Germany that
there has been a revival of
the propaganda Of hate of
war days is clearly a mis-
Interpretation and a mis-
understanding. Speaker after
speaker spoke with keen ap-
probation of the fine quail
ties of the German race and
Of it's immortal contributions
to science, literature and the
arts.
The revival Of a hymn of
hate now would be impos-
sible. I happen to be one
who never chanted it even in
the days when it was popu-
lar. Everyone is more or
less embarrassed by the re-
membrance of it now.
To the friends of the Ger
many that manfully faced so
long in patience the i'm
possible terms imposed upon
her, the tragedy in the pres
ent situation is not merely
that Jews have been mis-
treated but that events have
played into the hands Of the
very few who have continued
the wartime prejudice.
As many Americans are
thinking of Germany as are
thinking Of the Jews.

Two Observations
On Present Situation

There are just two obser-
vations to be made on the
present situation. One is
that governmental circles
in Berlin appear to center
their indignation, not on in
dividuals of the brown
shirts who took matters into
their own hands and at
tackled Jews without provo
cation and without the ap-
proval of government, but
upon those in other lands
who have been shocked at
these attacks. If the attacks
made which have injured
Germany were made in vio-
lation of the policy of the
government it's indignation
should be centered upon
these mischief makers.
Another is, that no one
is attacking Germany or the
German people, but only
that small element among
them which the government
says has brought discredit

Government Denied
Any Outrages

&3Ay VNVA o6OS
All this can be speedily
wiped out by having it
made clear that the Jewish
people are not to be made
the objects of prescription
or persecution. It manifestly
is absurd to deny that indi-
viduals, unfortunately in
brown shirts, did attack and
persecute Jews because they
were Jews in the days i'm
mediately following Hitler's
assumption of suprem e
authority. The government
has denied any completely
in these outrages. 1t prom
ised to end them.
Unhappily on top of this,
despite the claim of officials
that the Jews, unmolested,
are following the even tenor
of their way, we have the
statement from what ap-
pears to be quarters close
to those in power, that a
tremendous boycott is to be
organized against Jewish
merchants; that many Jews
are to be excluded from the
advantages of higher educa-
ton; that only a limited
number are to be permitted
in the learned professions.
This, of course, is perse-
cution.
It is condoned as a meas
ure of retaliation against
the appeals of other nations
in the Jews behalf.
1t is not convincing to
deny in one breath that
persecution has existed or
is contemplated, and in the
next to say that a policy of
prescription will be adopted.

Meeting at the
Garden

Returning now to the
enormous mass meeting at
Madison Square Garden! In
the presence Of such a vast
throng, most of it touched
with deep emotions, there
always is the danger that
the speakers may give way
to emotionalism and to re-
grettable expressions of re-
sentiment. It is remarkable
that the speakers kept them
selves within proper bounds
and uttered not one single
syllable derogatory of the
German nation or the Ger
man people.
The hymn Of hate that is
so hateful now, as I thought
it was in war days, was not
heard either from the plat
form or from the audience.
The meeting was marked by
restraint, the speeches were
phrased in the language of
reasonableness and fair play,
the great throng was orderly
and serious as became the
occasion.
AS one Of the friends of
Germany and the great Ger
man people, I hope that Hit
Ter will renounce any policy
OF reprisal or persecution on
the Jews and that under his
dictatorship Germany, which
has suffered so much and
deserves so well, can be set
IN the pathway of pros
perity and peace.
Meanwhile it is just as
we'll for us to remember
that we of America are not
without sin. How absurd
the meeting in Madison
Square Garden would have
been five or six years ago
when the hue and cry
against Americans because
of race and religion wa.
being raised, and persecu-
ton and political proscrfp-
tlon were on tap!
But our Constitution pro-
hlbits such prescription, and
our laws and courts are q
protection against persecu-
tion, and the whole move
ment was hostile to the
fundamental principles of
Americanism.
