THE JEWS IN WORLD HISTORY.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—May I, as a Jew, protest against the disgraceful state- ments you have allowed Mr. Alan Porter to publish as the views and ideals of Judaism ? What right has he, a Gentile, or possibly that worst of renegades, a Jew ashamed of being a Jew, to assert what are the views and ideals of a race he so obviously despises ? Perhaps it is absurd to be indignant at such a travesty of history and common sense, but when one remembers how easily the man in the street is gulled, one hates to see a paper of so high a standard as the Spectator used to barb yet another poisoned arrow at a people persecuted as no other has .evcr been, though in spite of it all, and of Mr. Alan Porter, it still survives because it is the chosen people.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ONE OF THEM.
