The last twelve months has not
given us, 1 am afraid, much
ground for optimism. The evil of
which 1 wrote has been accentuat-
ed by the agitation, in many ways
as artificial as the original, a.
gainst the unhappy refugees from
Germany. Their entry into this
country in increasing numbers has
been made the handle for renewed
attacks on our co-religionists. The
customary allegations have been
made that they are taking the
bread out of the mouth of the ma
tive Englisman, that they are
stealing his job, that they are re-
ceiving from charity money which
would otherwise have gone else
where. All these charges, which
have been shown to be baseless,
have supplied our enemies with
more pabulum for their campaign
of racial hatred and, at the same
time, it has caused us to take re-
newed steps to fight this evil and
to bring home more and more to
the English people the dangers
which await any acceptance of so
vile an theology. We have con-
tinued, as in the past, to produce
counter material, material which
has been widely read and which,
l am convinced, has done much
good, but we have been also con-
fronted with renewed propaganda
from Nazi Germany which has not
hesitated to proclaim, day in and
day out, that the only obstacle to
an understanding with Germany
are the Jews. We have, therefore,
had to combat not only the usual
anti-Semitic attacks, but we have
had to show how wicked and base
less has been the pretence that
the Jew has any loyalties to serve
but that of his country and peace.
1t has been our duty to make it
perfectly clear that if anyone
stands to lose by war, it is the
Jew, that peace alone can save
the world, and that the smoke
screen behind which it is hoped
to stampede this country and 9TH
er democratic countries into an
acceptance of conditions which
would make the Nazis a dominant
power on the Continent of Europe,
and doom for generations to come
the hopes and aspirations of all
llberty-loving peoples.
At the same time, the line of
activity which we adopted orig
nally is still one to be followed
with little variation. It seems to
me that as civilized men, we are
more than ever right in attacking
antl-Semitism and those ideologies
which have as their basis discrim-
nation against every race and

DREAMY DRIVING
OFTEN is FATAL
Many Accidents Caused By Persons
Dreaming At The Wheel

Dreaming" while driving un-
doubtedly causes a good many auto
mobile accidents. 1t probably causes
a good many accidents which are
charged to other things. What we
cali "carelessness" for example, US
ually is only a kind Of dreaming" g."
We are careless because we do not
take the trouble to look ahead, to
think ahead, and to plan ahead.
When we are dreamy" we don't
want to take the trouble to face
facts as they are. We would sooner
slide along. take ! chance, permit
ourselves to be whiffeted by all the
winds that blow.
There may be proper place for
dreaming" but the place certainly
Is not while driving an automobile
The dreaming habit IL you happen
to be afflicted may be a little diff
cult to overcome. The best way TO
get rid of a bad habi: Is to displace
IL with better habit. substitute for
your dreaming a habit Of better OBJ
servation. Watch "the other fellow"
Study better methods of driving.
