reviews of John L. Spivak's
articles in the New Masses,
Plotting the American Pog-
roms."
Since early in 1884 there has
ben an avalanche OF anti-sem-
itlsm in the universities and col
leges of America.
What the majority of students
and professors do not know is
that there is a secret organiza-
tion directed by German ex-
change students to carry on pro-
Hitler propaganda and develop
the hate the Jew creed. Work
ing with this organization are
Nazi agents and one hundred per
cent Americans in the patriotic"
organizations such as the Order
of '76.
The name of this student fas.
cist organization is the Paul Re-
veres, with headquarters in Chi
cago, which has branches in al
most every college and universe
ty in the country. including Yale,
Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Col
umbia and Northwestern.
The Paul Reveres are organic
ed within the student body in
secret cells OF four students to a
cell. The activities of the Paul
Reveres have developed open race
hatred on many campuses and at
Harvard and Yale open Organiza-
tions of Nazi groups is directly
traceable to the Paul Reveres.
Literature Is distributed attack
ing Jews and Communists, urg-
ing students to be "as good eiti-
zens to our country as Adolph
Hitler is to his. Let us all be Am
erican Hitlers," and attributing
the economic crisis to the Jews.
Good will" tours are arranged
for students and professors at
special rates to Germany where
they are filled with Nazi anti-sem-
itic propaganda so that they can
come home and spread the Nazi
creed.
Selling Anti-Semitism to the
Farmer
Even the farmers of America
have not been exempt from the
attention of Nazi agents in Am
erica. Farmers, particularly in
the South and Middle West, are
as bewildered as workers and
business men by the crumbling
economic system and have fallen
for anti-semitic preachings as the
cause of their predicament.
1t will surprise most farmers
and liberals to know that Milo
Reno, head of the Farmers Holi-
day Association, has been one of
the foremost leaders in spreading
anti-semitic propaganda among
the farmers. Reno worked with
the anti-semitic organization that
is known as the American Fas-
cists, or more commonly, the Cru
saders for Economic Liberty, or
the White Shirts, which cooper
ate with Nazi agents in the U. S.
Reno went through the farm
ing. area of the middle west tell
ing groups that the Jews were re-
sponsible for their troubles. He
aroused so much anti-semitism
that Jews appealed to Henry
Wallace who called Reno's atten-
ton to his results and Reno de-
cided to break away from the
White Shirts.
What Can Be Done Alb out
Anti-Semitism?
What is to be done about
anti-semitism in America? First.
what is it? 1t is a part of the mo-
bilizaton of all the reactionary
forces against threatened prole-
tartan revolution. 1t attempts to
organize the middle classes by
using the Jew as a scape-goat to
protect the interests of the cap
italists against the awakening
working class. That anti-semitism
is an economic question is proved
by the fact that while hundreds
of Jewish revolutionaries in Ger
many have been murdered, not
a single big Jewish banker has
been appropriated. Wealthy Jews
helped finance Hitler's rise to
power. Fascism is directed
against the producing masses
and not against the Jewish mass
cs. The Jewish question and anti
semitism can only be solved by
the class which strives toward the
fall of the exploiter-class: the
working class. In the Soviet I'm
ion there is no longer a Jewish
question. There it has been solv-
ed as part of the question of
national minorities. Only there
is it possible for the Jewish peo-
pie, freed from all forms of ex.
plDitatiOn and oppression. to de-
