Famous Sayings

what Americanism really IS was
provided by-of all things-that
riot between American Legion men
and Nazi members of the German
American Bund in New York the
other day.
After the dust had settled, q
pugnacius Nazi was hauled off to
court to answer charges Of carry
ing concealed weapons-he was ac-
cused of having a trench knife in
his belt. All things considered,
you might have supposed that this
son of the Fatherland would get
pretty abrupt treatment in the
court.
But it didn't work out that way.
Tried before a judge who was
himself an American war veteran,
and defended by a Jewish lawyer,
the German was found not guilty
and discharged And the judge, in
discharging him, remarked on this
strange combination of facts and
added:
This situation in an American
court proves the worth -whlleness
of Americanism, a fair application
OF the law to all defendants re-
g9rdless of nationality.
Now there are, when you stop TO
think about it, precious few places
in the world today where a thing
like that could have happened;
which is just another way of say
ING that exact justice as an alb
stract quality is honored in only
n handful of countries nowadays.
There are too many passions loose
in the hearts of men for the
spirit of fair play to get much
chance to exert itself.
1t would be going altogether too
far. of course, to say that all
American courts, at all times and
places, display the even-tempered
fairness which marked this case IN
New York. We have a long and
sorry record Of incidents of the
opposite sorts.
is there all the time for US TO
shoot at and bcause it is there
We do hit it now and then. AT
