In a speech broadcast over Station WBNX last night, Sidney H. Reiss, speaking under the auspices of the Young People’s League of the United Synagogue, warned that the world today is like a powder keg.
“Just a little match applied at the right place and we may all be smashed to minute atomic particles,” Reiss declared. He deplored the spirit of uncertainty in the air.
“Broadly speaking, three philosophies of civilization are struggling against each other.” Reiss continued, “One the right we find Fascism. In the Center is Democracy. Over on the extreme left is Communism.”
