in the wing of the art department
of Catholic University for several

Turn back the calendar to pre-

You would see an amazing variety

For during the last three-quarters

greatest industrial areas grew up
in Germany, Northeastern France

Western Poland. In peace time op-
Grafton it is rivaled only by the

States and England.
What were the reasons for this
development?
Just as in the case of Japan's silk
industry or the Malay Peninsula's
rubber production. the answer lies
primarily in a favorable combina-
ton of geographic factors. Central
Europe is well stocked with impor-
tant raw materials. it has a ready
supply of coal and water power, and
even before the expansion of rail-
roads its long rivers could carry
the finished goods to market.
To get the proper picture of this
region, do not look at Germany or
her neighborS as separate countries.

sive. In most respects it was
comparable to the program which
Mussolini had already initiated in
Italy, the chief difference being
that Hitler seemed bent on re-
crossing with greater thorough
ness and speed. He came of a
people who were peculiarly gifted
for thoroughness, and his own fire.
netic nature made him demon
for speed. Besides-and this may
we'll have been the most telling
factor, he was sincere. Hitler,
unlike Mussolini, was no mere
careerist. Repression to him was
more than an expedient. 1t was
a matter of principle.
Hitler believed that mankind
had gone astray. Ever since the
dawn of modern times the race
had been painfully struggling to
develop its intellectual faculties
and curb its passions. 1t had been
laboring with all its might to be
rational" The prevailing philos-
ophy had scorned fanaticism and
bigotry, and had insisted that
people must think things through,
see both sides of the question-in
short, be scientific" And most
people who were at all educated
had actually tried to follow that
prescription, or had at east known
that they ought to try. But not
Hitler. To him the whole idea of
rationalism seemed perverse. He
was a mystic, and insisted that
intuition was a far surer guide to
truth than cogitation. The fact
that this made him appear an
eccentric merely proved to him
previously mankind had been mis-
ed It revealed how much dam
ege had been done because the
schools had set out to "enlighten"

The Germans succumbed to Hit
Ter for the same reason that the
Americans elected Roosevelt, and
the Russians accepted Stain: they
believed he could save them. Hit
Ter, too, had a program, and it
seemed to appeal to the Germans
precisely because it was the oppo-
site of both Roosevelt's and Stall
ms. The latter two, though pro-
foundry dissimilar, had at least
one thing in common: they were
headed in the same direction.
Both aimed to make the machine
fulfill it's promise; both sought to
make life more abundant and ur-
bane; both were obviously pro-
gressive. But Hitler's program p
that was just as obviously regres-

;za He could read and write, ana
he could count; he had the cum
ming born of persecution and the
daring born of desperation. There
he was at an advantage now. All
the talents bred in him by forty
generations of urban life were able
to flourish with the triumph of
urban enterprise.
The Jew became the arch-capl-
talist the arch-socialist, and also
the Northumberland. For the city
did more than bring forth factor
les and slums. 1t spawned uni
versities, academies, conservator-
les. libraries. Consequently the
lew was able to move in on these,
too. It was no accident that he
became a leader in the arts and
the learned professions. Now that
the Machine had come into the
world, there was more time ana
money to devote to cultural pur-
suits; and ninety-nine out OF every
hundred Jews-at least in the
West-lived right around tn
places where that devotion was
most holly pursued. 1t was as
natural for the Jews to become
prize scholars as it was for the
sea-girt Swedes to become prime
scholars.
And that helps to account for
the queer violence of Hitler's hos
tility to the Jews. He preached
anti-Semitism for more than mere
demagogic reasons. He genuinely
believed that in fighting Israel he
was as he put it, working in the
spirit of the Almighty Creator"
For to him the Almighty Creator
was in a quite literal sense pa
gan god-that is deity of the
pagus, the countryside" And
Israel had become the living SYM
boil of the city. Therefore Hitler
had no choice. The restoration of
the primeyal way of life necessar-
lily entailed the destruction of the
culture bred in cities, and that in
turn absolutely required the oblit-
Grafton of any influence welded
by Jews. The man who had once
been denied scholarship in vi
emma may have been deranged;
but he was consistent.

THE MODERN SPIRIT
Whatever else the Jews may
have been, first and foremost they
were a symbol. They more than
any other group on earth bespoke
the modern spirit, for to that spir-
it they owed their very life. Not
their existence, of course-that
dated from ancient days-but their
life as free humans. Such life
virtually ceased for them in the
medieval era, and it was not re-
newed again until the dawn of
modern times. And that was why
they were such devotees of the
modern spirit. In a certain sense
they were the spirit incarnate-
with all it's faults as well as vir-
tues.
To benighted folk the Jews had
always appeared to be a sinister
element, and in one small sense
this impression was correct. The
Latin sinister means left, and
there is no denying that the Jews
were inordinately prone to be
leftish. There was a reason. At
the time of the French Revolution
it was solely the radicals seated on
the left benches of the Estates
General who urged the emancipa-
ton of the Jews. And this re-
NAMED true in France and every-
where else from then on. Always
and everywhere it was the forces
on the left that spoke up for the
Jew. Naturally so, for those
forces believed in progress, and
they recognized that the Jew was
peculiarly adapted to help that
cause. Nor was this solely be-
cause Jews knew that reaction
brought them persecution. The
gypsies knew too, yet they never
became agents Of progress. The
American Negroes knew it. so did
the Hindu untouchables, vet those
clements and countless others that
stood to gain under the auspices of
progress nevertheless remained
stubbornly conservative. The de-
clsive factor in the case of the
Jew seems to have been that he
was conditioned for progress bv
his natural habitat. Progress was
primarily a product of the citv
and the Jew was primarily a CITY
creature.
That explains his spectacular
advance in the Machine Age. In
6ustrialism, it must be remember
ed, arose in the cities, so the lew
was able to rise with it. He was
already at home in the cities. and
had been at home in them for at
least a thousand years. Ever
since the Dark Ages, when the
law had forbidden him to own
land, he had had no other wav 70
live save as a trafficker in goods
or gold. Consequently, when the
Machine arrived he was all pre-
pared to climb aboard. Industrial
ism required capital, and he was
the man to advance it; Industrial
ism produced wares, and he was
the man to sell them; Industrial
ism agglomerated workers, and he
was the man to help them organ

champion typist is that he must
not be afraid to work. Mr.. Hoss-
field typed for four hours a day
for five years before he won the
contest in which he was required
to type for one hour from un-
familiar copy. He told us the out
standing factor in typing was ac-
curacy and to to obtain accuracy
we must have correct position,
rhythm, concentration, and the
elimination of useless motion.
In today's exhibition he first
typed some warming-up exercises,
and then wrote a one minute test
from copy, totaling 139 word with
one error. He next demonstrated
a graduated increase in speed
from 40 words a minute and last
typed a memorized speed sentence
for half a minute totaling 124
words. He demonstrated rhythm,
how to insert paper, how to return
the carriage, and how to save
time in changing papers.
