tlite WfeOTBLE MAKERS
_, OMMENTS varying from one extreme to the other are beiii^ ^^^P. about the recently published b6bl: "The Trouble-Makers" by Arnold Forster and Benjamin Epstein, which is the new report of the Anti-Defamation League on intolerance in United States. (Doubleday & Co., New York & Toronto).
The iinpiiration that the book gc*^ too far is made by Boris; Smol^, editor of the Jewish Telegraphic A^ri^, while Phineas J. Biron, another syndicated    A&glo-Jewish columnist, claims the b^k doesn't, go far enough. The former questions witether it is "good policy to immortalize the-.^philosophies' and utterances of anti-Semitic demagogues and^^^ pots in book form?" Birb^ other hand criticizes the book for limiting itself to "the allTtop-weU known second string anti-^mitic troublemakers."
These apparently conflicting opinions are not surprising because "The Trouble-Makers" is a cpntroversiaj volume. The new ADL book should ^rtainly hielp to Open the eyes* of fair-minded people to the dan^irs of anti-Semitic and racist pfopagaflda. Nevertheless thp two extrefn«l of ci^it-icism which we have cited both bear further consideration.
The substance of the Smolar critic-isin is that it isn't a good idea to repeat at length the libels originated by the cabal of racist propagandists. This would appear to be a sound con-; sideration if it properly follow^ up. However the jTA editor suggests further that the ADL book "cohcen-. trates too much on the negative side and ignores almost entirely the positive side." By this he means that the book does not deal with improyechents ill the fiefd of race relatidnslali the easing of discriminatory practices that have occurred in some fields. No one -
can disagree with the need to document the positive side of ra<» rela-

the strti^giei Was jhipinhgi, but there is dfsb.spead| significance in the defeat of the Jewish people in that tongrpdsif era. The defeat was only partly due to the fact thbt the Jews were greatly Outnumbered. (And We can see frorh Israel's recent victory'against overwhelming Arab armies that unify of purpose can sonietinhies bvercorhe the greatest odds.)
But in ancient Judaea unity was lacking. Too many Jewish leaders, members of the priesthood and the aristocracy sought the favor of Rome, and wanted peace even dt the price of enslavement of the people. This lack of unity between the people and those who stood at the helm was decisive in leading to the defeat of the nation. '
Unity in armed sti-uggle brought modem Israel b victory. But disunity in the pedceful upbUildiHgi of thd Jewish state, con enddnger the existence Of the new ndtioH Of Israel. And lock of unity cdh olsb ehddrtger the heces§dry Hibvem^ht to protect the rights (and the Jives) of Jews Whei-evei- they rhdy liVe.
Seeking the fqvpr of latter-day "Rqmans" bt any price is OS dangerous today as it was in ancient Judoed..
