HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREET INGS to Little Miss Maria Schoettler and we hope she has lots and lots of fun and lots and lots more birthdays.

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-09-27

speech accepting the Republican
nomination, sounded his party's
keynote on the problem when he
said:
"The story of the barbarOus and
worse than medieval persecution
of the JeWS-a race that has done
so much to improve the culture
Of these countries and our own
IS the most tragic in human his
tory"
It is possible that in the year
SOL there will rise in America a
third party-one that would ap-
pease the Nazis, and at the same
time attempt to break down the
birthright of Americans-the Bill
Of Rights. If such party rises
with it's leaders men like Charles
A. Lindbergh whose attacks upon
the Jews have been real, if thinly-
yelled = American Jews should
welcome it. For when you bring
these people into the open, they
are not so formidable. They can
no more stand the light Of day
than can things you will find by
turning an old stone.
On almost the first day of the
year 500 the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency established a complete
news bureau in the National Press
Building here, for it was recOg-
nized that Washington had be-
come full-fledged news center
of the worldwide tidingS that af-
fected JeWry everywhere.
If there were new massacres in
Poland, it could be confirmed in
Washington.
If a South American Republic
adopted secret restrictive meas
ures against Jewish immigrants,
it could be learned i'm Washington.
If the Intergovernmental Com
mittee met in London, and decided
/ to allow refugees to leave Eng
land, the news would come from
Washington.
If there was trouble in the Philip
pines or among the ten thousand
Jewish refugees huddled in Shang-

AS each lamp went out of Eu-
rope, as the torch of freedom was
stamped out successfully in Po-
land, Norway, Holland, Belgium,
and France, the Importance of the
Washington bastion grew, until
now it is the fortress in which is
concentrated all the hope of hui
mainly and civilization and Jewry.
This fortress cannot be success
fulIv attacked from without, I'm.
less it is first undermined from
within. In Washington, in the year
500, there was fought a hidden
battle, a campaign to protect this
bastion from the native Benedict
Arnolds, fed with funds from the
Nazi enemy without.
This campaign is by way of be-
ing won.
From the Washington vantage
point, this writer has seen the tide
of anti-Semitism in America rise
to an unprecedented height during
the year 500. And now, at years
end, he is seeing it fall. The waves
broke against the rock of the Bill
of Rights that has stood for 1913
years. And they were thrown back
into the sea by the increasing
knowledge of the American peO-
pie that anti-Semitism is only
another name of HitIer's first Wea-
pom, and that all that America
stands for, Hitler stands against.
The tide ebbed away.
William Dudley Policy, the
American Streicher, flooded the
country with publications Witty
ing the Jews. The Dies Committee
turned its spotlight on Pelley, ex-
posed him as a cheap charIatan, a
stock racketeer who had found a
new racket in anti-Semitism, and

whatever following he may have
possessed drifted away. Finally,
the law caught up with him, and
he yet may have to serve a term
in Jail.
The German American Bund
leader, Fritz Kuhn, stuck his neck
too far into publicity's spotlight,
and was jailed as a common thief.
COughlin beat his chest on the
radio until the brOadcaSting in
dustry could no longer tolerate
him, the Catholic Church itself
could no longer stomach his raw
ings, and his audience faded.
In Congress, Rep. Jacob Thor
kelson followed the Nazi party
line, reprinted more than 100000
words of scurrilous literature in
the Congressional Record and
then was erased from the Ameri-
can political scene by lis own con-
stituents, who refused to renom-
mate him.
These were hopeful signs, in the
year 500, that America, while the
rest of the world was reaching its
nadir, was waking up.
But most important of all, prob
ably, was the stand that the lead
ers of the nations two great pol
itical parties have taken on the
worldwide Nazi attempt to wreck
and ruin the Jews.
All his life President Roosevelt
has fought against intolerance,
and the year 500 is marked by
the presidents repeated warnings
against the Nazi doctrines, and by
his positive action to save the
''hunted people" of Europe from
the pOwer-mad cOnquerOrS.
And Wendell L. Willkie, in his
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1940-09-27

But the biggest news from
Washington concerned what was
happening to America, for Ameri-
ca became the rock fortress of civ
ilization.
When President Roosevelt told
the IntergOvernmental Committee
on Refugees that before this war
was over between ten and twenty
million homeless people would
wander the face of the earth, it
was news that affected every Jew,
everywhere. For we were to bear,
the brunt of the mass migratiOns.
And when the American Red
Cross began to send supplies to
Poland-after months of delay be-
cause the Nazis wouldn't let the
Red Cross distribute these sup
plies to Jew and Gentle alike
it was in Washington that the de-
cisions were made.
Every event that affected Jew
ry in 500 either began here, or
was reflected here, or ended here.
The "black year" 500 is over.
and the issue as to whether Jewry
shall be driven from the earth has
not yet been decided. It may be
decided in the year that comes.
Already, the Observant can see
a faint light in the sky, for it is
becoming apparent that so long as
democracy lives anywhere, it will
live everywhere. So long as this
! baStiOn stands, Hitler has not won.
