in the furtherance of what we all
hold dear-a contribution to some
worthy cause in philanthropy, the
arts, the sciences or education; a
generous or kindly deed of the
simplest sort. American Jews are
not only Jews; they are also
Americans, divided, like other
Americans, on all political and
social issues. Just as there is no
"JeWish vote" in a political cleo
ton, there should be no club of
''Jewish Republicans" Jewish
Democrats" or Jewish business

3. Whatever you do in the field
of public relations, be sure it is
an effective step in keeping right
thinking Christians on our side.
It is not our fellow Jews who need
convincing. The main point is to
prevent the enemy from making
he2dway among our fellow Ameri-
cans.
Let sober judgment, not
righteous indignation, control
your actions. In other words, don't
fall into the enemy's trap by ac
cepting his own chosen issue of
anti-Semitism-the issue on which
he is delighted to have Jewish
replies" Remember that the pro-
vOlzing of such Jewish replies"
is part of the game of the Nazi
agents themselves in stirring up

BY RICHARD C. ROTHSCHILD

to be apologize and defensive
Remember that very few are in
terested in Jewish defense except
the Jews themselves; the great
mass of Americans are interested
much more in the defense OF
America as a whole. Moreover
apOlOgeticS are usually discounted
in advance in advance, and hence
convince no one. This applies to
all sorts of lies, innuendOeS, and
scurrilOus propaganda against the
Jews-speakers, anti-Semitic lit
erature, vicious letters to the
press, mass meetings, and all the
rest of it. The temptation every
time is, of course, to "dO some
thing" about it; and "dOing some
thing" often means tanning the
flame of just the wrong issue, a
Jewish issue. Direct replies to
attacks may give you an emo
tiOnal safety valve; but such emo
tiOnal outlets are far too costly in
terms of effective action. (This
does not mean that there may not
at times be need for some PAM
phlet or book for distribution to
editors, ministers, or other mold
ers of opinion in order to explode
Out-and-Out Iies.)
5. Remember that the attack
on un-American groups must not
be a distinctly Jewish attack,
which would only accentuate the
false idea that the issue is "Jews
versus non-JeWs." Rather it must
be an attack by a widespread
American public opinion fully
aroused to the danger of foreign
forces which are destructive of
true Americanism. The fight is
to keep the seeds of foreign in
trigue out of our country, to
protect America from the poison
which has affected Europe. We
must not allow our people to feel
that opposition to Nazism involves
us in entanglements. We want
none of it here.
6. Don't argue "racial" equali-
ty. The whole race idea only
helps Hitler establish his "Aryan
myth.
Z. Beware of hastily conceived
legislation to outlaw the enemy.
Remember that any such legisla-
ton may dangerously curtail free
dom of expression in other direc-
tons. Freedom of speech is the

individually, our duty is to keep

u. S. Textile Mills
Putting On The Heat

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-R-The
nations textile mills are putting
on the heat" at every usuable loom
to raise production to the point
where heavy government and civilian
demands for fabrics of all sorts can
continue to be handled with dis
patch, Worth street reported today.
Textile district observers said the
huge government defense program
and heavy civilian buying had re-
suited in withdrawal of some wooden
piece goods producers from the mar
ket. In the cotton textile field, mill
operators were bucking skilled labor
shortages at many points by train
ing new hands.
Three shifts a day, putting pro-
duction of a 24-hour basis, have
been adopted at many textile plants
and are being installed at others as
fast as personnel can be assembled.
If orders continue at their present
rate, operations in the wooden field
at present levels may continue
throughout 1911, some merchants
think.
