The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1939-10-06

No doubt you are all familiar with the steadily growing
anSemc propaganda that being circulated in this cOun
try Every Jewish paper gives an elaborate portrait OF
events both in Europe and in this country Not only do the
Jewish papers give those horrible events but they are also
featured in daily whose interest just In news
Some of us might be skepcal and question the
of their statements If only ESQ of this is true it is still
horrible picture to have happen in our 1889
Those who have followed the investigations of the Dies
Committee must readily admit the progress that is Oeg
made by this anti-Semitc element.
In the past all that Investigations and publicity have
done is to bring to light part of the machinery that is tunc
onng undermine very existence There nothing
in our present that prohibit free speech and freedom
of thought and sincerely hope that there never VIII De
occasion whereby the privilege OF free speech Will De
prohibited Therefore, there is nothing that can be cone
in that direction to eliminate this propaganda
Heretofore it has been the opinion of the Jews as
whole to live quiet moral fe to be law abiding citizen
and shrink from any kind of publicity In that way SET
example that all Jews would be judged by nGlv,oua
questionable what strides this has accomplished IN
eliminating the differences of the two groups and to come
understanding whereby all men OF all denOmna
items meet common ground, and live In harmony:
This shrinking within ourselves has more or less Dut
barrier around which it hard for outsiders 10 pe"e
trate and equally as hard for us to pull down.
One of the best ways OF judging an lndVloual Is ny
the type neghbor he makes Therefore let us assume
that are being observed We leave in the morning ana
go work. in the evening when come home we m1gnt
read WHILE make too much noise around the
hood and at respectable hour turn the gn OUT Ian anu o 81

But living as an example of good citizenship mas not gone
anything to offset the growing anti Semitic teeng FrOOl
think it would be reasonable to believe that the yer
conducted themselves just the same as we are
Oday-and would be reasonable to believe that there d.
ways was an antSemtic group there just as there
is here,- would also be reasonable to DeheVe Ina !~
