Cantor on Coughlin

A good Jew is Comedian Eddie Cantor, born Izzy Iskowitch on Manhattan's East Side. He helps Jewish charities raise funds, runs a camp for poor children at Cold Spring-on-Hudson, N. Y., has endowed a fellowship at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Sober and articulate, Eddie Can.tor last week addressed a convention of B'nai B'rith in Los Angeles as follows:

"For the first time in my life I am afraid. We are living in precarious times. You know the situation in Europe as far as Jews are concerned; but I doubt if many of you know how close to the same situation we are in America.

"Father Coughlin said in Detroit a few months ago that Jews have only three enemies to fear--Bernard Baruch, Eddie Cantor and the motion picture industry.

"Father Coughlin is a great orator but I doubt that he has a sincere atom in his entire system. We Jews have nothing to fear from good Christians. We are their brothers and sisters. But I am afraid of people who pretend to be good Christians. You must unite to protect yourselves."
