world. If there is one thing we
Jews should have learned through
out our many centuries of perse-
cution it is patience. Patience
and persistence. Now we are
learning, from men like Wallace
and other leaders of militant
democracy, a new lesson: Plan
ming. Plan it, persist in it, and
have the patience to keep on per-
sisting, in spite of Mans moral
lethargy and the tyranny of
habit. If the world is ever to be
made a decent place to live in, for
Jew or Gentle, it will be through
the progressive leadership of such
men as Norris and the movement
that is now taking shape. Other
leftward movements may offer us
more fire-breathing oratory and
more attractively pat schemes of
social and economic salvation, but
history has way of by-passing
such neatly blue-printed utopias
and reaching it's goals by other
roads. It may well be that it is
through the practical application
of the spirit of democratic fellow
ship in such projects as world
Twas" and international high
ways and anyways, and by the i'm
plementing of the Four Freedoms
and the Five Democracies through
world order based on economic
and political justice that we shall
yet build the better world we
are now fighting for.
Even that effort may fail, for
Reaction is still strong and will
not give up without a fight. But
if it fails and we go down with it,
we shall at least have the clean
satisfaction of knowing that we
fought a good fight, and went
down fighting.

A movement is on foot to unite
all liberal elements behind a pro
gram of affirmative militant
democracy and against the forces
of Reaction. George w. Norris Of
Nebraska has been asked to head
the movement. Active in the
movement are said to be Philip
Murray, President of the CIO
leaders of the National Farmers
Union, and the Union for Demo
cratic Action, as well as progress
Sive elements of American indus
try and management.
IF present plans mature this is
to be no mere debating society or
paper organization with a letter.
head and a mailing list. It is to
be something very much like a
Peoples Party, political move
ment for the prosecution of a
peoples war looking toward a
peoples peace. 1t could become a
broad home front capable of TAX
ing the offensive against the re-
dictionary bloc that has lately
sprung into life again and is
threatening to wipe out every So
cial gain of the last decade and
saddle us with another, and even
worse, peace than that. of 1918.
For us Jews the emergence of
such a movement at this time is
the best kind of good news. The
program of the new organization
has not yet been announced, but
we can easily imagine what it will
be. 1t will be the living voice of
those millions upon millions in

whom President Roosevelt stands
as a symbol of democracy and the
very embodiment of the Atlantic

Henry Wallace's Five Democracies
taking shape in action. AS human
beings we have stake in all
these things. AS Jews we have a
special interest in one of those
democracies, namely, "ethnic de-
mocracy."
Such a setup holds out to us
the promise of a political home
where we can hang up our hat,
roll up our sleeves, and go to work
with the vigor of deep conviction.
We Jews, with few exceptions, be-
