was disturbed on reading
the letters entitled Anti
Semitism Rears Head
Again" to find that such "a
misconstruction had been
placed on the recent, in
famous outbreak of anti
Jewish acts. Let me explain.
l realize that the Jewish
people and the rest of the
world cannot forget the wrong
done by the Nazis before and
during World War II. 1t is,
however, of prime Importance
that we realize that there is
now facing us all an even
greater threat than that once
posed by "Aryan supremacy"

on Adenauer's birthday said:
only the Communists are
interested in making Hitler's
ghost walk. One main aim is
to separate Germany from
the world. That is why the
recent incidents, deliberately
planned by the Communists,
have been used to suggest to
millions in Europe and
America that Hitler is rising
from his grave and that anti
SemitiSm is once more ram
pant. It is an interesting fact
that at the same time this is
being put about in Europe
and America, the Arab states
are being told that they must
not trust Germany because
Of her recent sale of arms to
Israel. Germany is painted
as anti-Jewish to Americans,
pro-Jewish to Arabs. 1t is
crude. contradictory and will
fail"
In the light of the coming
summit conference, where
Western unity is matter of
life and death to millions, it
is important to understand
the true nature and origin Of
the revival of anti-Semitism
across the world.
Clever men are using the
hurts and hates of the past,
the fears Of the present and
Of the future to divide the
West and make us vulnerable
to the shifty, evil tactics of
world communism. Either we
find an answer to the bitter
ness and blindness in our
hearts or, through that bit

more terrible even than Ma

nations and destroy the free
dom for which so many gave
their lives.

William S. White, in his
article "NATO Problem in
West Germany" analyses the
problem of unification OF all
Germany. His objections
seem to be only personal and
purely emotional, which he
considers unwise, but which
he ogniZes are wide
spread among the sufferers
of German bestialities and
their most horrible atrocri-
ties; he advocates, however,
that such feelings must be
forgotten. 1t seems to us that
as much as our personal
griefs for past SufferingS can
be forgotten and that we
might forgive our wrongdoerS
and suppress our sentiments
of revenge-we cannot and
we must not forget history,
its records and the lessons
which it teaches. For CEN
