TT HAPPENED
THIS WEEK
GENERAL MACARTHUR
BY MILTON BROWN, JTA

GENERAL MACAKTHUK
General Macarthur, in a letter
10 an American-Jewish publication
This week, declared that he found
Il difficult to comprehend that a
racial problem should exist alto
gether." 81 have never been able
TO understand racial differentiat-
lon or the arbitrarinesS which is
based upon chronological distinct
IONS"
It is good to have such a letter
at this time, for the wave of Nazi-
SIN may lead some Jews to be-
lieve that there are no decent
minded people left. We hear SO
much about anti-Semitism that we
forget that there are many friend
ly people left that there are still
sane people to be found.
THE DUTCH AND THE JEWS
The underground of Europe too
has revealed this fact. The reaction
Of the Dutch toward the NaZi re-
StrictiOns against the Jews has
left little to be desired. A recent
reporter on the Dutch situation
comments that many of the Dutch,
when the Jews were thrown into
concentration camps, expressed
surprise. So little marked were
the differences between the two
groups, that they had not even
known that these people were
Jews. And even many of the rank
anti-Semites have been cured of
their anti-Semitism. One Dutch
capitalist, who had been somewhat
|anti-Semitic according to this
same reporter, remarked that the
''Nazis have taken away my prop
|erty and even my remnant of anti
|SemitiSm."
BUDDIES
Similar reports have come from
all parts of Europe. It is difficult
TO establish just what stock is to
|be put in all of this as a perma-
|nent achievement of the war but,
nevertheless, it is probably that
we underestimate the good will to-
wards the Jew that has now been
released. People who have gone
