Negro and Jew
Fight for USA.
Friday night under the groat klieg lights of
Madison Square Harden two powerful fighting
machines danced around on the canvas ring
flicking lefts and rights at each other in one
of the better boxing spectacles of the year.
Friday nilit under the great flag of the
United States two men a Negro and a Jew
pounded each other with leather cushioned
Mows demonstrating, perhaps, in the most
down to earth fashion just what the man on
the street means when he says, "I live in a
democracy."
From the crowd filled Garden came the
raucous cheers and booes of 50,000 Americans,
and from around the millions of radios in pool
halls and country clubs, shacks and mansions,
trailers and hotels, arose the cheers and booes
of thousands of other Americans Scotch,
Irish, English, Czech, Russian, Jew, Chinese,
Japanese, Dutch and all the other nationalities
composing the population of a country united
under the stars and stripes.
The cheers were for Private Joseph Harrow.
The cheers were for Abraham Simon. Hoth are
members of persecuted races in other parts of
the world and, yes, there are those in the
United States who would also persecute them.
Hut if there can be such a thing as a haven
for the dusky peoples and for the sons of
Israel it is between the mountains ami broad
plains extending from Maine to California.
The Irishman in Indiana didn't lay his two
bucks on Joe Louis because the man in the
other corner was a Jew. The Pole in Nebraska
didn't want Simon to have his right arm lifted
in the fisticuffical manner of denoting the
victor because Louis was a Negro. No. both
f them chose their man like they would their
particular brand of cigarettes because they
thought he was the best.
And when the first was all over, when Ale
.Simon struggled to his feet too late, the referee
instead of counting to ten might well have said,
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
States and for the republic for which it stands
one nation, indivisable, with L1HEKTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
