...everyone knows, Clarence Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays, shrewd lawyers, are friends of all races; in fact, in 1925, they defended the source of all races at the famed "monkey trial" in Dayton, Tenn. Mr. Darrow has saved the lives of two young Jews, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold; Mr. Hays has defended the civil right of many a Negro. Last week the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced that these two potent champions would press the suit of Blanche S. Brookins against the Pullman Co. and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway for damages...
Henry Ford: "In reply to Merchant Nathan Straus's charges that I have traduced the Jews (TIME, Dec. 6), the Dec. 25 issue of my Dearborn Independent will repeat accusations against the 'International Jew.'

English feeling, unfortunate though it be, is none the less vivid. There is absolutely no foundation for such a condition--unless one-accepts the Nathan arguments; officially the two English speaking countries were never so close as today. And yet continental travellers admit that German welcomes, in spite of the late war, are as warm or warmer than English. The explanation may lie in Mr. Nathan's expose of the national prejudices...
