Beard's belief. : ; Phase of Revolution The-rise of Hitler in Germany is described by Dr. Spann as just one phase a reactionary phase in the revolution that has been in progress since the World War. He pointed out that after the French Revolution there was a return of the Bourbon dynasty for a time, and that after the up heavals in England there was a return of the Stewarts. Even if the Hohenzollern family re turned to Germany, he would attach little importance to it. Asked what kind of a speaker Hitler was, Dr. Spann replied sarcastically that he was force ful, but that many people can make a lot of hot air. Traces Jewish History Spann traced some of the phases of Jewish history-to fur nish a background against which the present events in Germany might be judged. He recalled that for centuries Jews have lived apart and have not been assimilated by the countries in which they lived, thus making them to be looked upon as aliens. He also rioted that in the mid dle ages usury was the only field of endeavor open to Jews. This, combined with the fact that nat ural selection growing out of protracted oppression, has pro duced a keen race, has made present-day Jews financially prosperous. Others grow en vious, Spann believes, and at the same time consider them aliens growing rich while "the fair haired youth" does not. All this, Spann thinks, underlies anti Semitic feeling. Before the war there was no more of this feeling in Germany than elsewhere; Spann pointed out that at that time Germany showed less discrimination than American institutions do now. But as a result of the country's post-war distress, Germans have looked for a scapegoat. Even u it does no good, the profess declared, there is an emotional relief in saying, "That man &cd that man and that man are tb cause of all the trouble," aj then in giving them a kick.
