supplies his heat through furnaces, his water through sprinkling cans.

Foes of Nazidom.
HE veteran Rabbi Stephen Wise
of New York has been reason
ably outspoken in his views on Nazi
treatment of his own co-religionists
and the practitioners of other faiths
as well. And one of the most ven
erable prelates of the Catholic
church in Europe, while discussing
the same subject, hasn’ t exactly
pulled his punches, either.
So what? A friend just back from
abroad tells me that in Berlin he
heard a high government officer
fiercely denounce these two distin
guished men.
About the mildest
thing the speaker said about them
was that both were senile. Some
how or other, the speech wasn’ t
printed in the German papers—
m aybe by orders from on high.
Well, far be it from this inno
cent bystander to get into religious
arguments and besides I have no
first-hand knowledge as to the Chris
tian clergym an’ s state of health, al
though, judging by his utterances,
there’ s nothing particularly wrong
with his mind. But I do know Rab
bi Wise, and, if he’ s in his dotage,
so is Shirley Temple. And I risk
the assertion that he would be per
fectly willing to have one foot in the
grave if he could have the other
on H err Hitler’ s neck.
