one another less than we imagined. Ke-
ports from the Netherlands are Illus
trotive.
The Nozis in the Netherlands, tor
instonce, have been decreeng unPeos-
ontness for Jews. Dutch Quis|ines have
been helping in an attempt to spread
ont-Semitism among the Dutch Peo-
Die. What is the result? Let the "Dutch
GoebbeIs," Max BIokzijI, tell it: "All
kinds Of people now act like Jews and
show their sympathy with Them" This
is part Of complaint attributed to this
Nozi follower by Editor Stoppelnon OF
the Netherlands News Digest" who
GETS frequent reports from Holland.
Other significant developments in
clude new custom reported from
Amsterdam, where it evidently has
become fashion for stout-heorted
Dutchmen to roise their hats to Jews
forced by the Nozis to wear Stor OF
Dovid embIems. In other towns the
people have shown their sympathy with
prosecuted Jews by elping them to
carry their Luggage to the station when
complying with evacuation orders, and
by many acts Of kindness.
The reaction of the Dutch people to
Noz onti-Semitism has amounted to
much more than an expression Of deri-
sion for the occupying forces. 1t has &C.
tuoIIy helped to protect Jews against
sterner measures which have been in
fIieted on them elsewhere, according
to Dutch reports And it is said to have
wiped out the lost foint traces Of any
pre-wor Dutch, onti-Semitsm.
This is understandable to peoples
Of the United Nations. Governments

conscious Of differences Of interest,
race and culture are now finding COM
mon virtues as they bottle the evil Of
Noziism. Not only in Holland but else
where, the Jew and the Gentle ore find
ing fellowship in opposing brutal racial
fctions, as in France, where gentle
youths are weorine yellow hondker-
chiefs to match the yellow Stors Of
