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:
