Important Question
Technocracy nnd Anti'Scmiti«;m
After wc hid cxlnustcd the pos<iibili- tits of Itchnucr Ity—thit is of itj. dis cussion, It was only natural th it ue sbouhl Come agiin to the subject of anti- Seniitisni
Why do the heathens rage' asked X "Aren't you rather late in the day with such a question ?" wc asked. "Hojic you : are not going to spring any new-fangled theories about anti-Seinitisin. Maybe you're going to prove that Technocracy is the cure for anti-JSeuiitisui, and that it is caused by too much machinery."
"IDon't  try  to  get   funny,"   replied  X: "Your  jokes   are  another   deiiression   to mc.    I am serious.    We Jews have been discussing  anti-Semitism   for  tWo thou sand   years,   but   we  don't  know   wha^ causes.it yet.   I'll give ypu four-five-six , —oh any number of guesses." Reasons For It "Well,"   we  replied,  "anybody   knows what is the cause of anti-Semitism.   The cause of aiiti-Scniitism is that Jews are all business people—all capitalists,"
"Guess again," said X. _ "Well, if that isn't why Jews arc di.s- liked, it is because they are mostly So¬ cialists, Bolshevists, radicals."
"Wrong again. Guess some more," said X.
"Well," we replied, ' "maybe we are disliked because of our inanner.s. We are too self-assertive." "Guess again," said X. "Well, if it's not because we are too assertive, it's because we arc too obsequi¬ ous."
. "All your guesses so far arc wrong, but keep it up.*'
^ 'Well, I  should say possibly we are disliked because we are too international." "Guess again."
"Well, maybe it's because we are too nationalistic—Zionistie and all that sort of thing." "Guess again."
"Well,   perhaps   wc  are   too   clannish, sticking   together,   ahd  elinging   to  our own traditions," wuess again." "Perhap."; it's because we arc too as¬ similative.     We   ape  our  neighbors  too much.    We adopt non-Jewish names, and some" of ns appear to be complimented when mistaken for a non-Jew." "Guess agaiii.*'
"Well, maybe it's because wc are too much of what Spinoza called, a God-in¬ toxicated people. . We set too mneh of a store upon religion." ¦
"Giiess again."
"Well, if that's ivroiig, you certainly can't deny that there are an awful lot of Py atheist.'; among Jews.   Who is the Presi¬
dent of the American ..\thcists; Associa¬ tion? A lew bv the name of Lewis. And maybe   this   irreligious   tendency   begets displeasure." j At Last We Guess Right
"Guess again," continued X. "Well, if all those guesses are wrong, I suppose the reason is because wc have rejected  Christ." "Guess again," said X. "Well,"   wc   said   wearily,   "wc   have mentioned every other possible cause.   If those are imt right, maybe," we said dis¬ gustedly, "it's because the Jews gave the wijrld their Christ."
"At last," said X, "without realizing it yourself, you have stumbled On the reason."
"What!" we said. "We were only joking. You don't mean to seriously say that the world dislikes the Jew because the Jew gave it its Chri.st?"
"I mean nothing else but," said X, who besides being a philosopher likes tb read the stories of Octavius Roy Cohen in.the Saturday Evening Post.
The Theory Explamed
"And how," we asked, "my dear philosopher, do yon explain it? . The world regards its Christ as its greatest good. Why should it dislike the peoptC- who gave it its greatest good?"
"T.h;it shows how simple you are," ex¬ claimed X. "I don't know really why 1 permit myself to talk to you, and prob¬ ably when I explain it to you, you won't understand, but I'll explain it to you by simply asking what is the feeling of the debtor toward the creditor, especially where the debt is so large it cannot be liquidated. I think you'll agree with me that the debtor has no particularly warm feeling towards the man whom he owes," A Non-Cancellable Debt
"Now the Jew gave lb? Christian world not only its God—its Christ, but its Virgin Mother of God and its apostles. The debt of the Christian world to the Jew is too vast—it's non-cancellable, and the Christian naturally feels for the Jew in the same way that any debtor feels towards the non-cancellable debt of a creditor. It can't pay such a debt, so the feeling which it would normally have against itself for this unrequisited obli-' gation, is released by venting it against the Jew."
"It is not tny theory, I would have you understand," said X. "The theory was propounded forty years ago, "by Daniel De Leon.
"And by the way," said X, "you will note that the theory too has some rela¬ tion to Technocracy. One of their prem¬ ises is that the world is - toiwy turvy, because the world is laboring under too vast a burden of debt. So likewise anti- Semitism is just in the last analysis a mutter of debts and credits.
"That ought to give you f<Kid for some thonght," said X, .^earching for his cigar hi his coat pocket as he was preparing to leave.
The cigar however was placidly being smoked in our mouth. * "What's the idea?" said X.
"Well," we explained, "we have a dis¬ like for a:nylio<iy who gives us intellect (Continued on page 2)

Views on Zionism
Hie fcdlowiug later by A W Rob inq, 7n Simtti 18th street, a reader of tht Cluoiialc for maiij years and a stu dent well informed on Jewish affairs, is behig published herewith without com- nn^nt. It is basc<l upon an ad-drcss de¬ livered by Rabbi Jacob Tarshish Mon¬ day evening, Jan. Dth, at the East Broad Street Tcniple, on the occasion of the installation of the ncwly-elccted officers of Zion Lodge No, ll'2, B'nai B'rith. The Chronicle would like to publish the views of other.'! on this subject, and also wel¬ comes a rebuttal from Rabbi Tarshish. The letter reads as follow;s:
Columbus, Ohio. January 13, 1933. Rditor Ohio Jewisii Chronicle, City. Dear Sir:
At the last B'nai B'rith meeting, Rabbi Tarshish strcsse<l the fact that the Jew¬ ish people, as a whole keep too niuch to themselves instead of mingling freely with the Gentiles, and thus remove the main barrier wbich keeps Jew and Gen¬ tile apart.
It probahly would be well to remind the rabbi that if such h condition exists it is not altogether the fault of the Jews. I believe he will bear witness that the Reform Jews whom he represents have repeatedly made attempt after attempt to embrace their fellow Americans of non-Jewish faith, but have always been kept at arm's length. Some of their rabbis, and Mr. Tarshish is one of them, are already hoarse proclaiming from the tree tops that although Jesus was not the Son of God, he was the' greatest Jew that ever lived, the same Jesus in whose name oceans of Jewish blood has heen and still is being spilled.
Following Mr. Tarshish's reasoning some of his former flock are so modcrn- . ized that they even celcbi-atc the birth of Christ as their neighbors do, and in many a Jewish house Christmas trees with all the seasonal embellishments could have been seen the last holidays standing sentinel in' the windows, pro¬ claiming to the world that we are not un¬ like our Christian neighbors, and that their joy is our joy, and their God— also a good friend of ours.
Docs the rabbi really believe that this aping .and fawning will' cement true brotherly affection hetween Jew and Gentile? Does he really believe that this spitting in our own faces will endear us iu the eyes of the non-Jewish multitude? Of course not! We are being hated not because we do not join their lodges, their clubs, and so following. On the con¬ trary, we are being detested because we break our necks in trying to crash into their company, when we are unwelcome and not wanted.
, The Jews in Germany also thought as the rabbi docs, and they did ?. splendid job in assimilating .themselves with the genuine Teutons, who liked it so well that at the last election about fifteen millions of them voted lor the total extinction of the "Ost Yude" together with the "Ger¬ mans,of the Mosaic faith"    .   .    .
It might interest the rabbi to know that a few weeks ago the Salvation Army presented a boxing show at the Audi¬ torium. There were about twenty par¬ ticipants in all, and among them one Jew¬ ish boy, whose mere entrance into the ring . creajiwl a symiihony of'1)005 and cat-calls, intehninglcd with.the cry of the age.4—"Kill the jew," etc. The crowd probably numbered over live thousand, and must . have contained tlie so-called' best people of the city, as this was a charity affair, and uo doubt there were hundreds there who arc thrilled with the rabbi's w*eekly good-will talks, aiid who by tliis time should have learned from these talks that there is no earthly reason why Jew and Gentile should not live in peace and harmony together. But somehow it docs not work. Here was a mob, the majority of which would have 'gladly paid double the price of admission ii they could be affordeil the pleasure of seeing the Jewish boy cut to ribbons, .^nd was it hecause the crowd had any¬ thing personal against the boxer? No! It wa 5the Jewish angle that was bother¬ ing it, and it threw overboard all the fine talk it heard from the rabbi as so much paprikosh.
Although the rabbj spoke as eloquently as ever, he was far from convincing tl]at his panacea would cure all the ills ^ve Jews are suffering from, hut he would apparently be willing to go to any length as long as the Zion movement would come to a stop, whicli reminds one that immediately after the Wlfi riots in Pal estine. Rabbi Tarshish made the hroad and prophetic statement that political Zionism was dead, and that no more than the ItiO.OOl) Jews in the land at that time will ever be allowed to settle there , Fortunately, Ra.bbi Tarshish is not as ro(kI a prophet as he is a siwaker, and since then additional fifty thousand Jews liave settled in Eretz Isroel and many more are on the way there, the only place on earth where the Jews at this time are .stca<lily growing in political, educational and  industrial  influence.
How much better would it be if a man of the rabbi's talents would instead ot constantly praising Jesus and his teach¬ ings <levote his time to sublimate Zion¬ ism, the noblest exi>eriment within mem¬ ory of men, and instead of now and then give a dig this grandest of move¬ ments remember that thanks to Zionism once again will "Out of Zion eome forth the Law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem," but this can only come to pass when we will realize that to be a good Jew one must also be a convinced Zionist, for a Jew without Zion in his heart is like a flower without fragrance.
