Anti-Semitism is described as “a danger to the republic” by Vincent Sheean, noted foreign correspondent, in an article in the magazine “Look,” appearing tomorrow. He appeals to the ” American people to destroy “social anti-Semitism” within which, he says, political anti-Semitism is nurtured.
Adding that anti-Semitism is not a danger to Jews alone, Sheean states: “Experience has abundantly shown that anti-Semitic prejudice, once it gets organized into a party, is the ally of every reactionary force, utilizes any and all methods and develops straight into violence as a way of action. The ballot box is too slow for the anti-Semites and their colleagues – the Fascists in general. The club or revolver suits their temperaments better. The democratic state is explicitly recognized as their permanent enemy.”
