UNDERTONES
By Abraham J. Brachman
Ours it became to build the kingdom come not out of death but
out of life. Ours is the living God. Though he is Master of the
dead also, it is not for the purpose of being ruler of the world of the
dead, but only because death is part of life. In the future God will
judge the dead and will restore them to life. But it is God of the
living that he is. And even as to the dead it is the soul that lives on
It is a long time until humanity will have become good enough
to have earned the Kingdom of God. Many cataclysmic and catas-
trophic changes will have had to come about first. Why they are
necessary is not too clear. Is it
as punishment for the wickedness
that exists and has existed since
In Judaism the Kingdom of God has long been the goal of re-
ligious living. There is a certainty that it is coming, yet we are
to bring it about with our religious living. History will bring it
surely, yet it is not the certain end of slow evolution. It is not the
zenith of a slow ascent of the mountain of the Lord. It is not a
hillside climb leading directly to heaven or a heavenly world. It
does not mean that life will continue to improve slowly. It is not
that humanity progresses bit by bit to the ideal goal. The Kingdom
of God exists now, only we have not yet brought it about on earth.

Many new movie houses have
been constructed since Israel’s in-

100 theaters in the Jewish State.

Israel censorship has functioned
for the last several months. An es-

British, 15 French, 15 Soviet, and
35 from other countries. Approxi-
mately 200 newsreels are reviewed
yearly, including 100 from the U.

There is much that can be said about Mr. Greenstein’s report
as it reflects the dangerous currents and undercurrents in that ac-
cursed land. We are in complete agreement with him when he says
that ‘it is imperative that the occupying power recognize in anti-
Semitism the rejection of the democratic principle and as the unmis-
takable sign of the resurgence of German nationalism in its most
vicious form” and when he warns that “the generation which grew
up during Hitler regime has been schooled in the leadership principle,
and unless there is decisive rejection of Hitlerism by those elected to
high office the German masses will continue to nurture the hatreds
planted in them by their former leaders.”
Mr. Greenstein has made an excellent record as advisor on Jew-
ish affairs. If his report does nothing more than to alarm the free
world to the dangers implied in the German situation, he will have
earned an enviable name as an American and Jew.
This adds up to one pertinent phrase which it would be well for
all Americans—Jew and Gentile—to ponder during this holiday season:

Only God can save this situation and he cannot do it in the midst
of things as they exist and as they are headed. Perhaps he did not
in the first place intend that this world in the state that we know
could. turn out good. Or perhaps it was an experiment, one more
experiment added to the many he had tried previously and which
turned out bad. Or perhaps the choice was man’s and he turned to
evil beyond recall, chose the bad when he might have chosen the
good. That is why he was made man and neither angel nor beast,
— that he might have the choice of evil or good. If he chose the good
he would have more blessed reward than the angels who are limited
in their choice and in their activity and only exist a little while. If
he chose the bad he would suffer in expiation, which beasts do not.

A MOVE TOWARD REAL FRATERNITY
A good Chanukah gift was a decision by the National Interfra-
ternity Conference to recommend elimination of restrictive member-
ship provisions.
At a time when our country has proclaimed itself as the cham-
pion of world democracy, we can hardly afford to have the finger
of inconsistency pointed at us by that segment of humanity which
by its very nature is the core of forward movements throughout the
world, the student body. The evil of discrimination in college fra-
ternities has probably been a greater factor in stimulating general
bigotry than the work of the crackpots and the lunatic fringe elements.
If the educated man can indulge in such practices, the uneducated
naturally finds in that phenomenon a wedge for rationalizing his own
behaviour.
The student body in this country may not be playing the role
similar bodies are playing in the rest of the world. Yet the fact cannot
be denied that practices by student bodies have profound influence on
the rest of us.
It was, therefore, gratifying to see the interfraternity confer-
ence make a dent in the struggle against discrimination. We de-
liberatly use the word “dent” because, in our opinion, the resolution
calling for elimination of restrictive clauses in fraternity organiza-
tions did not go far enough. A resolution calling for the repeal and
abolution of all provisions in college fraternity constitutions against
any student because of religion, race, color or creed would have been
more salutary from every point of view. The moral effect of a firmer
stand might well have become an incalculable factor in eradicating
discrimination in circles where it has no right to exist in the first
place. Yes, this is a good Chanukah gift.
HAVE WE FORGOTTEN SO SOON?
The naive amongst us who are likely to be moved by stories of
German collective shame” over the Nazi atrocities against Jews are
in for a rude awakening. The truth of the matter is, as Harry Green-
stein, former advisor on Jewish affairs to the U.S. occupation author-
ities reported to Secretary of the Army Gray, that Germany is reek-
ing with anti-Semitism, that powerful German groups are using every .
possible device to wreck the property restoration program and that J
nationalism is rampant in all its ugly manifestations. .

Thus it has been since the world began and thus we can easily see
is the world headed in our day. No other end is possible with all
the evil that exists, with all the trouble in nature and all the mean-
ness in man. Wherever we look we see only bad in sight, and only
worse in store, today, tomorrow, and next year worse, and the next
decade and generation still worse.
