I! choice is a take Of an experience
in Spain.
) He had encountered a group of
Basques, a Spanish Christian
! minority who are the object Of
some discrimination in the do

vited the group to dinner and
during the repast, some of the

Basques. you know things about

'I'll tell you how I came to
know all these things" retorted
the Floridian. ''You see, my an
cestors once lived in Spain, but
were expelled in 1892" Cat the
time of the Spanish Inquisition.)
"Ah." softly sighed one of the
Basques. IF only my ancestors
had been expelled"
This seems to me precious
story to remember when Jews
complain of all the harassment
they have been subjected to. 1t
has been bad, but there have been
good sides to it. For one thing, we
Jews have had much an advant-
age in the way of travel. Some
times it has led us down pleasant
lanes. You don't have to join the
Navy to see the world if you are
Jew. Ferenc Molnar once said that
no Jew should possess more prop
>erty than he can run away with.
We have other advantages. If
you are a Jew. you have less
chance of getting tuberculosis.
However. you have more chances
than the non. Jew of getting dia-
betes. / don't know that there is
any profit there.
1t seems to me the principal adj
