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.

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.” [18] « THE SOUTHERN I SR A U 11
