for the Defense of Jewish Rights and its
affiliated bodies take such further action
as may be necessary to carry the fore
going resolutions into effect.”
Washington, I). C.—In an unequivocal
attack on the German Nazis for their
treatment of the Jews, Mrs. Edith Nourse
Rogers, Congresswoman from Massachu
setts, gave the House of Representatives
one of its most dramatic moments as she
said: "Our forefathers fled from oppres
sion to New England. We from that sec
tion especially sympathize with any per
secuted race. Our heritage demands that
a protest he made. The action of the
Hitler regime is so contrary to our ideas
of justice and good government that we
cannot at first comprehend the severity
and cruelty of it all.”
London—Franz von Papen, former
Chancellor of Germany, whom Jewish
leaders in Germany held out as their
strongest defense against the anti-Semit
ism of Chancellor Hitler, of whose cabi
net he is a member, has now publicly
taken his stand with the Jew-baiting poli
cies of the Nazi leader. In an interview
with the London Evening Standard, Von
Papen justifies the program of Jewish
proscription in the Reich and says: “It
is not realized in England to what length
the Communist danger has gone in Ger
many, nor do the English know what it
feels like to have one’s native country
practically in the control of Jews, large
numbers of whom filled important posts
of State that should he filled by Germans.”
Berlin—Among the twelve German au
thors whose hooks will no longer he
handled for sale by the German Book-
dealers’ Associations are Emil Ludwig,
Lion Feuchtwanger, Ernst Glaeser, Ar
thur Holitscher, Alfred Kerr, Egon
Kisch, Ernst Otwalt, Theodore Plivier
and Kurt Tucholskv.
Bucharest—The Nazis are attempting
to create an anti-Semitic Internationale,
which will have as its sole aim the com
plete elimination of Jews from every
sphere of political, economic and cultural
life, according to a statement made here
by Mayor Dubarsky of Bucharest upon his
return from a visit to Paris, where he
said he saw the preliminary stages of a
French branch of the organization.
▼
London—It was the Daily Star of To
ronto, Canada, and not the London Daily
Star that was banned from circulation in
Germany, the latter ha- discovered. The
action of the Nazis is attributed to a se
ries of articles on the Reich that has been
contributed to the Canadian daily by
Pierre Van Paassen, who is character
ized by the Hitlerites as "a Dutch Jew.”
Van Paassen is not a Jew, however, hut
a Catholic, who at one time studied for
the priesthood. He was horn in Holland,
went to America at an early age and
served with distinction in the Canadian
Army during the war.
▼
Geneva—A petition calling upon the
League of Nations to use its authority in
safeguarding the rights of the Jews in
Upper Silesia has been handed to the
Director of the Minorities Section of the
League by Dr. Leon Nlotzkin, Zionist
leader, on behalf of the American Jewish
Congress, the Committee of Jewish Dele
gations and a group of other Jewish or
ganizations. The special plea for the
Ofi |
Jews in Upper Silesia is basi
treaty entered into between Pol nd
Germany for the guaranteeing 0 f ( !
rights of their respective nationa i n a,,
area.
London—The League of Nati n»
called upon to assure fair pla t0 (5>
Jews of Germany in an address
at a Scarborough meeting by Da\id 11 0
George, former British Premier. Hr <«.
nounced the “abominable treatn ent
the Jews by the Nazis, declaring the
every principle of civilized so< iety hi:
been outraged thereby. He declared, ho*
ever, that it would he a mistakr to cm
fuse the Jewish problem with the <ji»
armament problem as it refers to (if;
many. He said that sympathy must «] H
go to the Germans for the aborninar..
treatment given to them by the Allies
New York, N. Y.— The most signih.y
gesture of social action ever undertake
by the Christian church of America ■
credited to the National Conference •
Jews and Christians which obtained the
co-operation of 1,200 clergymen thro -
out the United States in signing a vigor
ous denunciation of the persecution o:
Jews in Germany. Twenty-six denomim
tions in forty-one States and Canada wrr
represented on the list, which included
whites and negroes alike. The statemenr
of the attitude of the American Chur'*
was drafted by Dr. Harry Emerson Fov
dick, leading New York pastor, and »s-
submitted to all the clergymen for the;:
signature.
The statement which they signed and
which will be sent to ministers in tier
many reads, in part, as follows:
"We, a group of Christian minister*
are profoundly disturbed by the plight of
our Jewish brethren in Germany, rhi
no doubt may exist anywhere concern
ing our Christian consciences in the mar
ter, we are constrained alike with >
row and indignation, to voice our pro
tests against the present ruthless per*
cution of the Jews under Herr Hitler*
regime.
"We acknowledge the existence of ra
cial and religious prejudice in America
against which we have repeatedly takr
our stand, but all the more on that ar
count do we deplore a retreat fro*®
gains once made in Germany while
continue to struggle for human right*
the United States.
“For weeks we waited patienth. retu*
ing to believe stories of a State pol '
against the Jews. Now, however, has r.t
in our possession testimony to the fact*,
which seems to us unimpeachable,
cannot forbear speaking. Herr Hitler tV
years has preached relentless hatred
against Jews. One of the fundament!
doctrines of the Nazis, explicitly ackno*
edged by them, is that the Jews are p
sonous bacilli in the blood of German
to be stamped out like a plague.
the followers of Herr Hitler ha\e p r ' v
claimed they now practice. Systematica
they are prosecuting a “cold program
inconceivable cruelty against our Jew* 5
brethren, driving them from position*
trust and leadership, depriving them
civil and economic rights, deliberate
condemning them, if they survive at i
to survive as an outlawed and eic'"
municated people, and threatening J® 1 *'
with massacre if they so much as protr*
It is our considered judgment that tk<
endeavor of the German Nazis to hum;-
ate a whole section of the human
ily threatens the civilized world wiA**
return of medieval barbarity.”
