There are many ignorant or
malicious things sometimes said
about our beliefs concerning
Christ and their affect on the
attitudes of Christians toward
Jews. I ask you not to believe
those things; they are lies and
they are said to divide us. No
man can have my faith concern
ing Christ, his life and death,
without loving him and loving
the people who produced him, the
Jews. No man could have my
faith concerning Christ, his life
and death, without desiring to
help, to befriend all men without
exception: white, black, Gentle,
Jew. Always remember that
Catholic Bishop took time from
busy day to come and tell you
that. l did not send a represent

Bill Levner, imaginative public
relations counsel of the Council,
and the illustrations are by A.

to-, and succeeds, in answering
the lies about the Cohens {.
Levner's approach is simple, wit

to distribute Levner's book by
the millions -.
Speculations
1t is eight years since Jabotin-
sky died Would he be Min
lister of Defense were he alive to-
day? :. Wonder why Captain
Gordon Canning of Britain paid
more than two thousand dollars
for Hitler's bust, which in Nazi
days adorned the German En-
bassy in London? Alfred
Werner, in an interesting article
IN the Congress Weekly, claims
that Sir Oswald Mosley's fascist
hordes are coming back very
strongly in England -. How
come our Anti-Defamation Lea
que never mentions this move
ment? It is an open secret that
Mosely exports tons of anti
Semitic material to the U.S.A.
Why did the big commercial pub
hSherS refuse to issue Lyman
Goldin's "The Case of the Naza-
rene Re-opened" If Simon
and Shuster, instead of selling
pulp stock philosophy in the mil
mons, had undertaken Goldin's
book, they would have struck
mighty blow against the clerical
roots of anti-Semitism Was
II necessary for Rabbi Abba Hill
lei Silver, in his capacity as
chairman of the Zionist Emerg-
ency Council, to reassure the big
movie moguls that the Zionists
hao no connection whatsoever

friendship. I would not send a
scholar to prove that our doc
trines do not make us your enc
mics. I come myself to pledge
my personal affection and offici-
ally to declare there is nothing
in my faith to make us enemies
of you. It is all the other way.
I can and do pledge to you the
friendship of my people"
The Archbishop said there is all
too much prejudice in the United
States. Judging by the amount
of anti-Catholic literature and
talk loose in this land" he said,
Judging by the movements of
various kinds organized against
Jews, Negroes and others, a stag
gering percentage of people in
even this privileged country, still
hate millions of their fellowmen."
Asking what could be done
about "this lamentable state of
affairs" he said: "Can anything
be accomplished by increased in
terfaith parleys and like ventures?
I have my doubts. In
the last analysis, people will learn
best within the house
hold of their own spiritual fam
lilies. They will give most sin
cere attention only to those who
speak for God as they understand
God. Hence, the great need for
moral education on the basis for
respect and for brotherly
charity, education to be given by
our own to our own within our
own traditions"
Archbishop Cushing said there
must be more and more religion,
which he called the foundation
stone of every independence to
which you, as free men, lay claim.
It underlies all our human dig
nifty, our political democracy, our
hopes for faith and freedom.
"Hence to the list of those who
threaten freedom, of those who
the values which you
and 1 hold dear, must be added
not merely the Fascist, the Nazi
and the Communist, but also the
atheist. If the American concept
of the sources of our dignity and
freedom be true, then the atheist,
the man who denies God in theory
or in practice, is as much the
enemy of the American way of
life as is the Totalitarian, Black,
Brown or Red. The Fascist or
the Communist denies our hber-
ties today; the atheist comedies
them, perhaps, today, but he is
obliged to deny them tomorrow
because today he denies the
source whence they proceed.
Those who love liberty, therefore,
as you love liberty, will protect
their liberties and those of their
nation by the means that you
have chosen: by religious means,
by an increasing faith in and love
for God"

NIGHT ............ All of the brothers
and sisters too for that matter,
were discussing the Joe Louis,
Jersey Joe Walcott fight when we
gathered for our weekly sitting Of
fish and beer up on the north end
of the stroll on last Saturday night
One thing in particular that was
discussed among the brothers was
what that announcer had to say a.
bout brother Louis after the fight
was over and everything. 1t seems
that among the many things the
announcer said about the Bomber,
he found time to say that Louis
had been credit to his country
This was the main point that the
brothers was discussing. They
said that Louis should have been
given the title of Senator at :
Large or something. In the first
place, the brothers all seemed to
think that Louis had done more
for the country through his office
of Heavyweight Champion than
whole lot of them shore huff Sen
ators that's really supposed to be
making the country a better place
for all the folks to live in, and at
the same time add to its stature
and integritity in the eyes of all of
them other Nations scattered g.
round over the world. Yassuh all of
the brothers was saying that they
was mighty proud that the announ
Ger said Louis had been a credit to
his country instead of saying that
he had been a credit to his race.
Not that Louis hasn't been credit
to his race (The brothers argued),
but that a whole lot of people
might not know that by saying
that he would have meant the HUI
man Race, and not any Blue Black
Red, Green or Yellow Race in par
ticular. Yassuh, all the brothers
credit to the Human race. Most Of
agreed that Brother Louis was
the brothers was trying to figure
out just what brother Louis was
going to do now that he had put
aside his royal robes of Kingdom.
Well, this subject just naturally
didn't bother us much, cause know
ing brother Joe like we does, we
figgurs that no matter what he de-
cides to do, he'll make out alright
