DETROIT DIARY

MONDAY: II is a nice balmy day
which is very nearly spoiled at 8
am. as l make conversation with
fellow human being while waiting
for a car. He reminds me again
that there is a nice anti-Semetic
propaganda machine in Detroit
spreading its venom among factory
workers, and l am no little dis
turbed, for too many Negroes are
beginning to say Jews are respOn-
sible for this or that. Any way,
this fellow begins by telling me
the Jewish religion caused the war
and goes on to say that Jews
should be made to take on what he
called American religion or get
out of the country II appears that
i know more abou. religion than he,
for when l ask which of the many
are American religions, and what
religion couldn't be traced to the
Orient, hes stuck, but nevertheless
sticks to his point that Jews are
responsible for everything At

interested party who read about
the Smith family being in need OF
help and she asks whatever became
