a ground, not to mere polite tolerance, but to recon¬ ciliation. There is no country in the world more pro¬ pitious for the settlement of the world’s Jewish Prob¬ lem than is the United States, but it cannot be settled along the old line of the Judaization of the United States, nor by its de-Christianization either. The work of the Anti-Defamation League is positive to Judaization and negative to settlement.
There is nothing that Jewry, acting through the B’nai B’rith, does so well as to hold Mass Meetings and attack “The Merchant of Venice.”
Mass Meetings may be described as the Jews’ great American pastime. The New York Kehillah, that is, The American Jewish Committee, can on one day’s notice organize Mass Meetings in every city in the United States. They are mechanical devices, of course; they are not so much expressions of the Jewish mind as they are attempts to impress the non-Jewish mind. There is a great deal of theatrical calculation in them. This column could be filled with the dates and places of Mass Meetings held within any seven days on any question in which the Jews had decided to coerce or accelerate public or, as it usually is, official opinion. The Mass Meeting, it appears, can still be made to seem real to the political official whose vote is sought.
