throughout those districts wo are told and foreign missionaries and others were stripped of their possessions even to the shoes on their feet it is related in the same dispatch that a russian emissary and a shang hai paid agitator appeared on the scene and set the place in flames we read then those who live in shanghai han kow tientsin etc may have no idea how the communists behave when they capture a town but the canton ese know very well what tho reds did when they were in control of can ton on december 11 1927 the most densely populated part of the city was reduced to ashes and

happens to be greenblatt he experiences obstacles which would not come his way did he bear an anglo saxon name if the quota system in colleges and universities exists to prevent the do minance by the jew of the tone of the undergraduate life of the college it is out of place in a professional school where the best competence and ability must be secured and trained for the public good discrimination can not be justified on grounds of common sense why penalize society and the public weal by excluding keen ly alert and intelligent possibilities from making their potential contribu tions to the general good the jew is of course an indivi dualist he tends to an originality andin- dependence which mystifies battles and often flouts the easygoing group action of typically nonjewish society but such individualism and instinc tive independence are valuable assets in life especially in the sientifio world where all the sedulous train ing of the student is designed to as sist him to an independent and fresh view of evidence such discrimination says dr gavin makes for the development of all those things against whlh our religion is doing battle embitterment of life contriction of personality frustration of vocation cramping and paralysis of capacity incentico and creative pow ers it offends every principle o fairness it flouts every canon of social integrity and honest dealing of man with man hut its evils do not stop here and this is a point to be remembered the instances momentous in num ber and appalling in the aggregate where antisemitism operates in hos tile discrimination against the jew socially politically economically or culturally do the jew less harm great as it is than they do the non- jew the stultification ot principle and the release of evil instincts are corrosive and subversive of the es sential qualities of christianity the clipping and paralyzing effect ot nonchristian actions by alleged christians vitiates the effective pow er of their faith in their lives how can jews ever respect or love the religion ot christians who ex perience in daily life such unchristian treatment from the protest followers of christ to maintain peace
