THE JEWISH ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WORLD WAR BY ISAAC UNTtaMA3. Associate Bachelor of Arts. Editor TTMCf: Whatever views may have bren hell by ihi individual Jewish rltisrn about the desirability of ihe Unit.-d Slatf-s' participation In the present world war, all voices are now hushed once the step has been taken arid 'the cause announcer!. All thousrhtful Jews bfin to re-

j ahzp now that we have pone into this j cruel business without hat or malice toward any particular renle. but for ! the benefit of r.umanitv. and to mK

the "world safe for democracy." I' must confess that at first I couldn't Quite understand why the United States, the country of real freedom and liberty, should compel her children to Kive their blood for a. couse that, as it seem-

i ed to mo, did not concern us the least j bit. It was only after I read the farm us speech of President Viin on

j the declaration of war that my enihus-j I iiism rose to the hirh.vt rtcrri lf-ish

Patriotism, if I mav iii.ist- it .irrnrrl- f

ins to my own, is of the highest. ! Already Jewish men are enlisting in

! the army and navy. There is a large i j contingent of my Jewish brethren in j these two hrnnrhe of the cerv.re ripht I

now. Even in our city, Indiana Harbor,!

a small Jewish community as it is. has riven her share in a far greater percentage than any other nationality. Furthermore, they were at Vera Cruz, and in large numbers on the Mexican border. We appreciate very much the kindness shown us by the American people, and we consider ourselves as part and parcel of the entire American body. Some of us are even descended from ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. Some of them stood by the flajr in the war of 1S12. In the

North and South Jews fought side by side with other Americans in the War cf Secession. Also the Spanish-. interican war cost many Jewish live. I venture to state thit there is not a hrart that beats truer to the 1'mted States than the Jewish. This faithfulness, 1 believe, is par-' ti'-ularSy true of the present war in which the American people h.ive proudly and bravely raised the banner of de

mocracy. The whole origin of Jewish life goes back to this fundamental thought of democracy. Most people Imagine that democracy was born in Greece, for the very word Is of Greek

origin, and Athens was supposed to be

the most democratic city in the world As a Jew, proud of my heritage, I know it better. A thousand years be

fore Athens came into existence with

its 20,000 free men and 400. 000 slaves, the children of Israel lived under as democratic a form of government as

ever existed. Why. then, were the

children of Israel reTeasei from Egypt

ian bondage if not for the sake of making them a free and democratic

people? Why were the Ten Commandments given in the Wilderness? Israel

would have chosen to receive them within her own borders in the Holy

Land. God gave these holy words in the desert, no man's land, to emphasize

the fact that these Commandments

were for all mankind. When the peo-!

pie of Israel wanted to honor their j

leader Moses, they did net call htm ;

king, but Moses our teacher. When

the children of Israel, to their weak

ness, Asked for a king. Samuel without

fear refused them, and when Saui was

finally selected, his rule rested so light

ly on the reople, that the Israelites followed a shepherd youth, David, as

his successor instead of Saul's own

son. Democracy is opposed to royal rule. When Rehoboam taxed, the people unduly, the men of Israel revolted and formed another kingdom. A royal head with autocratic government was never essential to the government of

Israel.

Today, when democracy is fighting its

greatest battle, I as well as all the

Jews who are taking refuge under the

great principles of American democracy, stand, foremost in emphasizing the duty of the hour. When the hour shall come and call on any one of us to take his part in the battle of democracy, not one will hesitate for a moment to Join the ranks of lovers of democ

racy and fight, as we did in all our

history, the battle of humanity and democracy.
