MILLINERY—THIRD FLOOR THE GERMAN SITUATION (Continued from page II) One of the tragedies of the rise to power of the Nazis was the double sui cide of Walter Schaeffer and his wife in Berlin. Schaeffer, noted radio tech nician, was chief engineer with the Ger man national radio company for two years. He was dismissed from his post when Hitler came in. Because he was removed from the work which meant most to him, he killed himself in despera tion. Ambassador Frederic M. Sackett, who left the Berlin Embassy at the very height of the anti-Jewish outrages by Hitlerites, issued a statement upon his arrival in France, en route to America, asking for sympathy with Germany. He said: “It would seem a pity if these incidents should be seized on as the occasion for a general condemnation of the German Government and if there should result from that movement of condemnation a real anti-semitic movement in Germany. When any government arrives in power by means of a political campaign of the intensity of the Nazi campaign, it is al ways difficult in the beginning for it to prevent excesses by its partisans. In the United States, action during the past week laid emphasis on what could be done by the State Department. Dr. Stephen S. Wise went to Washington, in company with Bernard S. Deutsch, con ferred with Undersecretary of State Phillips with a view to some official ac tion to halt the Nazi boycott. The American Committee on Religious Rights and Minorities, consisting of Jews, Catho lics and Protestants, resolved to send a commission to Germany to study anti- Semitic propaganda. The same Com mittee issued a report some years ago on the status of anti-Jewish feeling in Rumania. The Committee pointed out that the “members were less concerned about reports of physical outrages than they were about the economic and social reprisals against the Jews in Germany. Fears were expressed that the reprisals policy of the German Government would bring about international conse quences far more serious than the present situation.’’ Throughout the nation, private and public protest meetings and conferences continued to be held. Governors con tinued to issue statements expressing their sympathy with the position of the Jews in Germany. In New Jersey, the Legis lature adopted a resolution calling upon Roosevelt to act immediately to save the Jews in Germany. Students and facul ties of universities throughout the nation adopted resolutions denouncing anti- Jewish persecutions in Germany. The Board of Aldermen of New York City unanimously adopted a resolution asking the United States to make “vigorous and proper representations.’’ The situation in Germany was made the basis of appeals for funds by various Jewish organizations. The American Palestine Campaign emphasized that Palestine is the only country in the world where Jewish immigrants may come as “of right and not on sufferance.” The Joint Distribution Committee appealed for funds to supply relief to refugees front Germany and for Jews in Germany. Th Hias made similar appeals. The Ameri can Jewish Congress asked for funds to “wage vigorously the great battle against "anti-Semitism.” What was considered generally the most effective condensation of the present situation in Germany was an editorial appearing in the New York Times, which aroused widespread comment for its em phasis on the fact that there is a “larger question" involved than merely the Jews. The editorial read in part as follows: (Please turn to page 16) Their Many Friends "Best Wishes ENDICOTT JOHNSON Extends To Passover Holidays Better Shoes Everybody ENDICOTT JOHNSON CORP.
