IT PAYS TO BE IGNORANT:
With a softening of our social at-titude
toward Germany and a softening
of the brain as well, the decision has
been made to shelve all the Nazi atro-city
films. Perhaps the strategists be-lieve
that if former Nazis were com-pelled
to see some of Hollywood's cur-rent
crop of B releases, there would be
more flicker flinching than a double
features' worth of atrocity films.
With the documentary visual proof
out of the way, the Germans may now
feel free to proclaim a "We don't know
from borscht" movement. And just in
case they do, don't go calling them "su-permen,"
this time. The idea is not
new.
Actually, it's as old as the hills,-
that is, if the hills are 90 years old.
What we're trying to say is that back
in 1855, a political party known as the
Native American Party or American
Party was founded in opposition to
steadily increasing immigration. Its
aim was to make a twenty-five year
residence necessary for citizenship, and
to decrease the number of foreign born
office holders. At first it was a secret
society, and its members, when asked
about the movement replied simply,
"We know nothing," the Aryanized
phrasing of "We don't know from
borscht."
It may or may not be of special
significance that when the group was
finally deactivated, the northern Know-
Nothings cast their votes with the
Republican party.
OBSERVATION OF THE WEEK:
*Whatever else Britain might have
done, is doing, or intends to do on the
Palestine issue, we sincerely doubt that
her royal palm will ever be able to take
a hand in shaping the Hebrew language
as it has been able to do in forming
the Indian tongue.
As an illustration of British indoc-trination,
"lack of wealth" in the
Indian language means "great riches."

MY HOW TIMES HAVE
CHANGED DEPARTMENT:
Twenty years ago, Johann Gomboes,
brother of the notorious anti-Semitic
leader in Hungary committed suicide
because of his disappointment at the
failure of anti-Semitic policies in Hun-gary.
* * *
RIPPLING RHYTHM:
The atom bomb proponents who have
argued with the opponents as to releas-ing
the components should listen to an
exponent named Arnold Leese.
Leese, British anti-Semite, whose
scurrilous bulletin "Gothic Ripples"' is
widely circulated among bigots, sug-gests
that "the strongest weapon you
have against Bolshevik Russia is anti-
Jewish propaganda."
That's one Leese we wouldn't mind
seeing expire.
SIGN OF THE TIMES:
The Fish and Wildlife Service has
reported that the nation's rat popula-tion
is now about 130 million.
- that's roughly about one rat to
every person in the country.

WE NOMINATE FOR HAPPYDALE:
The returned soldier who applied for
a divorce on the grounds that while
he was in the army his wife changed
her sex.
And to a male, of all things.

LOW LIFE TRIVIA:
In his antology, "Ants and Men,"
Dr. C. P. Haskin carries a step further
the parallels between ant and human
communities. The expert says that some
ant communities are totalitarian and
some democratic.
We wouldn't be a bit surprised if
Westbrook Pegler attempts to prove
that the totalitarian communities are
built by the Red ant.

AD LIB:
We still insist that the want ads car-ry
more laughs than this column ever
will. For proof, we offer the following
gagbuster that appeared in a Philadel-phia
paper last Sunday:
"Student-veteran. Desires part-time
position. Married, afternoons only."
What a guy !

Portrait of Brandeis
Although Emmet Lavery was primar-ily
interested in dramatizing the life
of Oliver Wendell Holmes when he set
out to write "The Magnificent Yankee"
which Arthur Hopkins brought to the
Erlanger January 20, he was careful to
include an understanding portrait of
Holmes' friend and colleague on the
Supreme Court bench, Justice Louis
Brandeis. As every jurist knows, it was
Holmes and Brandeis together whose
dissenting opinions rocked the court
during the turbulent twenties and
adumbrated the course that democracy
was eventually to follow under the
guidance of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
For the role of Brandeis Mr. Hopkins
selected Richard Bowler, a veteran ac-tor
who lists among his recent assign-ments
"Porgy and Bess" and Agatha
Christie's "Ten Little Indians."
Lavery allows Holmes to express his
viewpoint on racial prejudice in a scene
of "The Magnificent Yankee" wherein
Henry Adams expresses his misgivings
about President Wilson's appointment
of a Jew to the Supreme Court. Even
the Court itself might not be too dis-appointed,
he suggests, if the Senate
refuses to confirm the nomination.
"Nonsense," replies Holmes. "A few
of the brethren may not be keen for
Brandeis. But it's his ideas they are
afraid of-not his religion.
"If Brandeis had never fought the
utilities, if he had never taken the part
of labor, if he hadn't been quite so
successful at it, they would have called
him a nice Jew-and accepted him.
"The Jews have given a lot to this
country and one of their prize con-tributions
is Louis Brandeis-and if I
were Wilson I'd hang on until hell
freezes over-and then skate on top
of it."
