Catholics has been met by Catho-

from all parts Of the nation. The
Archbishop himself contributed
the vestments to be worn by the
officiating priest at services In the
chapel.
And let's hope that not one
Jewish voice will arise to deplore
the Catholic altar which Brandels
has caused to be set up as neigh
Dor of its own Jewish altar and
the altar of the Protestants.
Anyway. at Brandeis the breth-

with respect for one another. as
brethren should. And thanks to

about all this.

Peronists will be at the hands of
General Lonardi's Provisional
Government it is hard to say. But
if the new regime is at all under
standing, it will take into account
their small number and what is
more, the half-heartedness and
nervousness of their utilization, so
obvious to anyone, even to Juan
Peron, who never did take their
fealty for granted. On the other
hand, with the opening of the
prison gates, and the reinstate-
ment of academicians, journalists,
doctors and jurists, many a Jew
ish name will reappear and Jew
ish talent will again flow into the
bloodstream of the country.

have erected building on their
Waltham campus, and they have
asked our Archbishop to dedicate
this building as a Catholic chapel
where our Lord will be present in
the Blessed Sacrament.
Catholics of Boston: In the
name of the Immaculate Mother
Of God. this must not happen! Our
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament
must not be betrayed again into
the hands Of that people who
cried out. Cruelty Him! His
blood be upon US and upon our
children?"
To me this has the sound of a
call to another crucifixion and I
was glad to hear that Boston did
not respond to it. Boston Herald
Travellers reporter, Ar h u r
Stratton, wrote in his paper:
There was an incident on the
streets of Boston yesterday. Cur
sorry evaluation would call it an
ugly one, but it wasn't. It did
more to test a community's eX-
pressed beliefs in interfaith and
was more poignant than a hun
dred good will dinners. The un-
told thousands who witnessed
some part of it during the day
met that test as only God-fearing
people would meet it.
"A misguided handful. by sign
and handbills. sought TO pit the
Catholic against the Jew. II ended
in a scuffle that was seen by per-
haps 1000 men and women on
fremont street about 2 p. m.
But that wasn't important.
What mattered was the reaction.
And the reaction was that the nest
can't be befouled and years of
tolerance and mutual respect
swept away. Jew and Gentle
stood side by side in that crowd
and registered shock and disgust
that anything like that could hap
pen on Boston's fremont street
. . There was no hate in anyone's
eyes.
1T was a thorough test at the
sensitive street level of what all
faiths have promised each other
over the years at public gather
ings."
Boston's Conference of Chris
tians and Jews condemned the in
cident of hate literature flying
over Boston streets "A de-
spicable action" it said
'"scurrilous and untrue statements
that in no way represent the
Catholic Church or the Catholic
people of Boston"
Same week Brandeis' Catholic
chapel was dedicated by Arch
bishop Cushing of Boston: he
celebrated the first Mass there.
II am delighted with the action
of the authorities of Brandeis Uni
versity," the Archbishop said.
''For far too long a period, in
many of our institutions of learn
ing, religion has been excluded,
due, in large part, perhaps, to the
unfortunate and erroneous belief
that a purely secularistic ap-
proach to education is more con-
formable. to the American tradi-
ton"

Argentine JewrY Under Peron
may follow?"

may fo11oW!
Thus Argentina's Jews shrug-
ged off Peron in the last few
years, their spirit seeking sane
tuary more and more in Zionism
and in identity with Israel. There
is no doubt that Israel is Guilt
waiting Argentina's Jewry assidu-
ously. One need only spend a day
at the Israel Embassy in Argen-
tina to become aware of this. The
ordinary diplomatic work is sup
plemented by immense efforts in
m any directions. Ambassador
Leon Kubovi and his staff are
councillors, psychologists, adj
visers, and guides to the per-
picked. The Embassy building,
stately and luxurious (the gift of
group of jews, is both hostel
and clinic for the harassed. Ar
gentine Jews feel realistically that
if it is too late for them, the par
ents, for Aliyah, it is high time
for their children to go. The Latin
American investments, their mos
havim and kibutzim, largely Ar
gentinian, far greater in proper
ton to those of our own country,
attest to this line of feeling and
thought.
The last two decades have cata-
pulled the Argentine Jewish COM
munity into prominence. The de-
struction Of East European Jewry
has made Buenos Aires the second
largest community in the Dia-
spora. Because of its isolation
from the Catholic-pervaded Gull
ture of the country, and the cul-
tural vacuum induced by Peron,
Argentina's Jewish community
has retained a good deal of the
color and rhythm of the native
landscape from which it derived:
towns and villages in Bessarabia,
the Ukraine, Poland, Rumania.
There is warmth and sinplic-
ity in the Jews of Argentina
which in more spiritually hospit-
able chimes are more rapidly dis
sipated. There is an eagerness and
piety for q Jewish cause which
sophistication is quick to corrode.
A lecture on Bialik is still an
event. A Yom Atzmaut celebra-
ton fills the sports arena with
tens of thousands. In the absence
of spiritual leaders such as &C.
companied our mass migration
here, men and women who lit up
our paths in the New World with
great humanitarian causes and
enduring Jewish signposts, the
Jews in Argentina have done the
best with their own resources: a
network of Jewish schools from
kindergartens to day schools and
teachers seminaries; an elaborate
Yiddish press; a flood of Yiddish
books.
incidentally, Buenos Aires has
become the hub of Yiddish pub
fishing, and many a writer and
poet sends his manuscript all the
way from New York and Tel Aviv
for publication. There is still a
partisan battle over the division
of Yiddish and Hebrew in the
curriculum. But even the nom
nationalist schools feature He
brew. There is a wide import of
teachers from Israel and lecturers
from New York. The Yiddish
theater is holding its own. There
are Hebraica circles for the youth.
It is a community of sentiment
and nostalgia, with its heart and
