however, he expresses conf
dence that the diplomats at

ory solution in their conserva-

He refuses to believe that the
rowdy and disruptive tactics
in Potzdammer Platz are de-

Stain olotov board Of strategy

Likewise he attributes anti
American demonstrations in
Korea, Japan, France and
Greece to local and subordinate
commissars instead Of to "Uncle

To the Editor,

Your issue dated Nov. Plat

Ordinance" which your city saw
fit to reject, and in the opinion
of this writer rightly so.
Every Jewish community has
in their own hands the machinery
for enforcing this vital Jewish

mistake in reporting sympathet-
ically the story of the girl being
accepted into Judaism at the He
brew Union College. I fear it will
tend to encourage intermarriage
since the girl took the Jewish
faith in Difference to the young
Jewish man she was about to mar
ry. Young Jewish men, thinking
of intermarriage, may say: 'Well,
that's an idea. I'll have my girl
turn Jewish and that's easy
enough, and then it will be all
right for me to marry her"
Don't you think that to be a
Jew is more than a matter of TAX
ing the faith? 1t has to do with
great history, with an outlook of
life, with a common blood stream.
You can't really be Jew unless
you are part of the social, histor-
ical and biological complex that
goes with being a Jew.-E. B.,
Chicago.
Nazis Said So
Oh, my dear E. B., I am awful
ly sorry to hear you speaking al
most like Hitler in his racial BIZ
gothry. He, too, said that being
Jew was separate blood iden-
tity that must be set apart. He,
too, spoke of blood as a test of
merit. (Mind you, E. B., I am op-
posed to intermarriage in prin-
ciple but for other reasons than
alleged blood differences.)
I have reason to know that
among Jews you are not alone in
your similar ideas - similar to
Hitler's, that is - of being Jew
ish. In their flight from Nazism
many of the Jews have taken for
protection the very racism that
they abhorred in their enemy. In
consequence, quite forgotten
among many Jews are essential
things in the making of a Jew:
That body of ideals we inherited,
Torah and prophets, the compass
Sionate spirit, the aspiration to-
ward brotherhood, the social
ethics of our teachings.
It's Not Blood
What is a Jew? We have be-
come badly mixed up on that.
Well, let's take the case of this
particular Jew named Segal of
whom I can speak from intimate
knowledge.
He can't work up any pride of |
special blood, but he can't be too
sure that his blood hasn't been
adulterated in the course of the
ages. Segal is sadly conscious of
invasions of Romans and Huns
who behaved much as soldiers al
ways have. Can he affirm, without
prospect of contradiction, that in
his blood there is no Roman, no
Vandal?
A Way of Life
Happily, Segal was brought up
as well as born among people who
were Jewish in the sense of spir-
itual and moral values. In the
time of his youth being Jew was
an identity that concerned itself |
very little with the idea of sep
arate race or nation. He learned
that to be a Jew was to live by
Torah and prophets. 1t had to do
with God to whom one bowed in
the prayers of the morning and
evening. On Friday nights a cou-
pie of angels were supposed to
accompany his father from the
synagogue to the Sabbath table.
To be Jew was a mark that
prohibited young Segal from be-
ing like some of the bad kids of
the neighborhood. If he descend
ed to unbecoming behavior, any
