| The voice comes to my right ear
in the headset I turn to the flight
commander beside me in the pilot S
perch forward. He's talking to me
in the planes phone system.
His finger points ahead, to the
right There lies long black cloud,
stretching out all of 10 miles like a

The pilot speaks again. This time
he's giving orders to the plane &C
companying us, a mile or more off to
the right. He uses the inter-plane
phone system This time his voice
hits my left ear.

The flight commander smiles, ex-

We are hurtling eastward over
the North Atlantic. Earlier in the
morning-much too much earlier for
late sleeper-We had gathered in
the cabin of the operations officer
aboard a huge floating air base. Its
position is secret, but it's some
where in the North Atlantic"
There the whole squadron received
final instructions for an assigned
mission. Specific orders were secret.
But broadly, we we're told to cover
part of the lanes travelled by Ameri-
can merchant ships and war vessels
plying between the United States
and new Army and Navy bases in
Iceland.
We had taken off at 3:45 am. in
dark, choppy seas and flown for an
hour or more to meet the dawn. The
sun peeped over magnificent red
Chinese pagodas outlined in the
clouds. When I saw them I Won
dered why all aviators aren't poets,
but my commander had other ideas
on his mind. He said we could
have picked a better day.
$50 Miles Per Hour.
With that line squall in front of
us, know what he means. But our
two 1000 horsepower engines churn
us steadily toward the storm at $50
miles an hour. The commander ex-
plains the squall is not too black
for safe navigation, so we will skirt
the end of it and remain oh our
course. In a few moments big
chunks of fog hit us.
I look for our companion plane,
can't find it. Neither can the flight
commander. Then the voice comes
again:
I'm at II. Can't see you. Let
me know If you climb" Calm and
easy it is, like the voice of fellow
who'd casually dropped collar but
ton. He might have added, Darn It'll"
The flight commander takes his
transmitter, glances at the sea of
instruments in front of him.

Of John Brown at $50
BY the Associated Press.

BY Ine ASSOCldleQ e1eSs.
BRUNSWICK, Md, Sept. 16.-
The vest that John Brown, the in
surrectionist, wore when he was
hanged at Charles Town, w. Va,
is worth $50-and the State of Mary
land is going to collect tax on that
valuation.
The vest became tangled up In
litigation when it bobbed up as part
of the estate of Brunswick man.
Orphans Court officials called in
several experts to fix the value of the
item.
Officials said it undoubtedly was
authentic. Investigation indicated
that the former owner, Charles C..
James, received it from man whose
father was jailer at Charles Town
while Brown was in custody.

ly prove one part of Mr.. SamuePs
thesis and thereby cast doubt up
on the other part. They openly de-
clare that Christianity is but one
manifestation of Jewish "interna-
tiOnalism and pacifism," and that
it is this spirit which they oppose.
But avOwing their hatred of the
whole Judaic- Christian tradition
so openly they cast some doubt
upon the part of the thesis which
maintains that the Jews are Os-
tensibly hated as "Christ killers"
because they are secretly hated as
"Christ-bringerS."
I do not pretend to be able to
supply an alternative explanation
for that part of Mr.. Samueps the
sis which seems to me to be du-
bious. would not even claim that
it is wholly wrong. I am merely
left in a quandary.

Is Anti-Semitism Hatred
Or Christian Religion?

ultimate truth of the Judalc-
Christian ethic in tn cir hearts.
That is the thesis of the important
book, "The Great Hatred"
Displays Profound Thought
If we examine these two prOpO-
sitiOns carefully we must admit
that Mr.. Samuel h as presented
them with great force and plausi-
biIity. There are prOfundities in
this book which put it in a differ
emit class from all the vapid sOciO-
logical and psychological analyses
of trace prejudice" in which moth
ing is achieved but the discovery
that if only all people were as in
teIIigent as we are there would be
no race prejudice. Here quantita-
tive distinction arises to a quail
itative one. / think he is right, too,
in insisting that the mania which
makes the lies in the ''PrOtOcOls
of the Elders of Zion" plausible to
millions of people cannot be an
swered simply by proving these
documents to be fOrgeries.
This leaves out of account why
millions of people should be ready
to find these obvious lies credible.
Mr.. Samuel is properly scornful of
all the railroads.&c. liberalism
which thinks that it can under
stand and meet this mania by lit
tie more enlightenment. I would
go a little beyond his scorn by in
sisting that the ordinary sweet
ness and light" approach to these
problems fails to understand the
tragic realities, not only of what
he calls the mania of "anti-Semi-
tism" but also of the ordinary race
prejudice of which "anti-Jewish-
ness" is one manifestation. (The
use of the terms "anti-Semitism
and "anti-Jewishness" to designate
these two types Of bigotry seems
to me a little arbitrary but there
is nothing arbitrary about the dis
tinction itself.)
But that brings us to the second
proposition. Is the reaf basis of
anti-Semitism.- a. hatred. Of the
Christian religion and civilization

self, does not dare fully to express
itself? I am convinced that this is
at least part of the truth.
Jew Innately Peaceful
believe that the Nazi tribalists
hate the Jew partly because the
Jew is one of the creators and a
very obvious and vivid symbol of
the universal elements in our civil
lization. I agree with him that it
is silly for well-mannered Jews to
suggest or imply by their conduct
that this beast might be beguiled
from his fury if only the Jews of
the Ghetto had better manners and
took more frequent baths. I think
he is right too in suggesting that
the uneasy conscience of the pro-
tagonists of force a d brutality
finds a foil in the innate peace
fulness of the Jew.

By REINHOLD NIEHBUHR

Editors Note: Here is sig
nificant article written by
one of Americas most emf
nent liberal thinkers, dis
tinguished Christian author.
It fearlessly analyses Maui
rice SamueTs thesis of anti
SemitiSm.
There is a basic difference be-
tween anti-JeWish sentiment and
anti Semitic hallucinatiOn. The
former belongs in the general cat
egOry of racial prejudice and racial
friction, which characterize all col
Iective relations of mankind. The
latter is a "mad disparity which
occurs in no o t h er instance OF
group intolerance"
The real basis for the fury of
the Nazi against the Jew is that
he sees in the Jew the most obvi-
GUS symbol of the whole Judaic-
Christian civilization with which
he is in mortal combat. The Nazi-
fascist claims to hate the Jew as
a "Christ-killer" but his real hate
is directed against the Jew as the
"Christ-giver;;" and it expresses it.
self the more violently because
it must express itself indirectly. 1t
is the revolt against the conscience
of western Judaic- Christian civil
cation which is not yet prepared to
admit the nihilistic character of
its rebellion to itself. For tn e
same reasons covert and overt ap-
peasers a mong both Jews and
Christians appear. These are the
people who sense secret affinity
between themselves and the prota-
gonists of brute force, because
they have themselves denied the

LII I'm q queSClOn Is aSk0U WHY
then communism, which is also in
revolt against the whole Christian
civilization, does not require the
mania of anti-SemitiSm as vel1i-
Gle of its fury, Mr.. Samuel has a
very profound and convincing ans
wer. He declares that on the one
hand cOmmunism'S attack upon
Christianity is completely con-
SciOus and abOve-bOard and there
fore does not require this subter-
fuge. On the other hand, cOmmu-
nism is not an attack upon Chris
tan culture and civilization in the
same sense.
It does not worship power for
its own sake and it does not ex-
alt the tribe against the total COM
munity of mankind. It is in fact
an effort to realize the universal
istic and equalitarian elements i'm
bedded in the Judaic- Christian
culture, however sadly it may have
corrupted these ideals in actual
practice. Both of these answers
have validity, but I think the Sec
ond has more validity tn a n the
first. Communism is a secularized
version of the messianic hope. I'm
fortunately this hope is corrupted
by the utopian illusions and these
finally betray the communist to
accept a Stain dictatorship as the
realization of the classics soci-
ety."
Perplexing Part
In questioning the complete val
idity of Mr.. SamuePs first distinc-
ton between faSciSm and cOmmu-
nism, one arrives at the most per-
picking part of his whole thesis.
The communists, he declares, do
not require anti-Semitism as a tool
of their revolt against our civiIiza-
ton because their opposition is
overt rather than covert. VERY
well. But by the same token the
German ought to be less anti-Sem-
itic than the Italians.
The Italians, who have accepted
full anti-Semitic program only
under German pressure, have de-
veloped a fascist worship of force
and of nation on the soil of Cath
Ole Christianity. This Christianity
may not be loyal to it's own princi-
pies; nevertheless the fascists have
not dared to break with this Gull
ture completely. They offer lip
service to it, while they seek to
win the young people away from
Christianity. If the psychic COM
pulsions which Mr.. Samuel des-
cribes were primary they ought to
manifest themselves strongly in
the italian case.
The Germans, on the other hand.
have become more and more open
in their opposition to the entire
ethical and religious structure of
western civilization. "Da s
Schwarze KOrps" becomes increas-
ingly venOmOus in its attacks not
only upon Jews but upon Christ
ians both Catholic and Protestant.
1t is true they were more circum-
spect before they came to power.
But they are not cautious new. The
fact is that the Germans complete

lined the steps that have been
taken by various District officials
and the War Department toward
obtaining the school for this pur-
pose. Mr.. Wender contended, and
the members concurred, that the
Southwest Health Center was avail
able for such purposes and had. in
fact, been recommended. In addi-
tion, It was learned. $1,000 would
be necessary to renovate the school
for examining and treatment of the
soldiers. If such an amount is to
be used it should be spent at the

the logical place, it was added

Another discussion that brought
about lively debate was the plan to
widen Independence avenue S.W.
between Seventh and Twelfth streets
and ultimately convert the property
for park Identification purposes.
Several property owners in the sec
tion involved voiced objections to
the proposal, resulting in the associ-
alton authorizing the Executive
