Y' +V ef -unique-f u i . , X frl.E WORLD f0DAf Pick up your morning paper. The headlines--what are they? Germany prosecutes the Jews--Czcchs :ive up t0'Ger- many--Japan advances to Iankow--Labor Disputes--all this makes up our life today. Perhaps one day closes with that labor dispute settled. Lhat does the dawn of tomorrow bring? Perhaps something a great deal more serious. With awe and meekness I dread the coming day. Hot just tomorrow, but the da' after and after. Q So many unbelievable things are happening in this world which we American citizens call, civilized. Civilization must advance, but not by this way, of war and strife, and greed! Although the Jews may be looked down upon, remember one of the ten commandments, HLove thy neighbor as thyselfn. If I remember correctly, the Jews have no nation of their own, but just their raceg they have not a country to turn to for refuge, no guiding hand to lead them in their present troubleg nothing left for them, but to be kicked out of their prosperous businesses ite which we give due creditl in to the paths of men to be kicked about as deadly rats! It is beyond my knowledge to comprehend why the people here in our country feel as they do toward foreigners. Hot only the Jews, but toward any race. he must not forget that we, our- selves, are foreljners. Turn back the pages of history books if you doubt me. Tre indian, we find, should be where E2 stand. But is he? No! Ie has become definitely ex- tinct, because of the greed, and jealousy of the white man. The pages of our Histories are carefully turned under when we try to find the cause. pad why! Because one of the leading nations of the world today, Great Brltian, bore the crusade, and now she is ashamed to admit lt! I was very much interested in the headlines, UPresident Calls Ambasador Komen in the paper, during the past few days. I wondered why the frosident should take such an im- mediate interest in this situation, and why not so much in the HCzcchH trouble that mifht have caused another Uwar to end all warsn, where thousands of American young men would have been used for targets and heard of no more. I recall the statement of my former teacher who said that ?resident Roosevelt had Lis family treo removed from Carnegie Hall bo- cause a branch of Jewish blood was showng he being afraid of the opposition that night arise from the people he was jovornlng. Maybe this ansmors Ly question--why nPresident Calls Ambasador Komen. Civilization must advance, but the turning point will come when He calls us for that civilization where no greed, no war, no strife shall existg where the Urats' of men will pay for life with life!
