American Jews, in their concern with

Opposition to the convening of a World

The T-nferrnce also suggested the cre-

Samuel Schulman of Temple
I. New York, a veteran in re-
aism. was the hero of orthodox
one point he fought and de
motion intending to place the
onference on record as opposed
n f? courts for safeguarding and
regulating kashruth. On the same day,
he attacked a motion condemning the
effort to introduce Yiddish into the New
York school curriculum.
An attack upon Jewish operators of
sweat shops was contained in the report
of Rabbi Edward L. Israel, chairman of
the social justice commission, who con
demned Jewish exploiters of labor as an
“element unworthy of membership in a
group which has held for thousands of
years the social justice of Israel.”
New York, N. Y.—Chancellor Adolf
Hitler of Germany thinks that criticism
with regard to his anti-Semitic policies
should hardly come from America, whose
own record in that respect is not quite
blameless. 'I'hat is what he told T. R.
Ybarra, noted journalist, in an interview
for Collier’s Magazine. Pointing out
that America has rigid immigration re
strictions, Hitler asked, “Why cannot
Americans be fair enough to admit that
we Germans have the same right?
“We don’t want Jews from Eastern
Europe. It is for us Germans to decide
this matter,” the Nazi leader declared.
“Whatever violence there was is now
past. Perfect calm reigns in Germany.
Not a street has been destroyed, not a
house. If only all Americans could come
over here! They would look about and
ask themselves where is the revolution,
where is this terror, where is all this
destruction and chaos I’ve heard about?”
In giving his own impressions of life
in Germany after an impartial examina
tion, Mr. Ybarra remarks in his inter
view: “At the time of my talk with
Hitler, there was no indication of a ces
sation of anti-Jewish persecutions. “He
then lists the various well-known steps
by which the Nazis are uprooting Jews
from the life of Germany. He felt as
though, he was sitting on “the rim of
a seething volcano” while in Germany,
the journalist reports.
Berlin.—Reiterating the hostility of his
organization to Jews from Eastern Eu
rope and Zionists in general, Dr. Max
Naumann, president of the Federation
of the Nationalist German Jews, ex
pressed sympathy with the Hitler Govern
ment and urged his associates to co
operate with the Nazis, at a meeting of
the Federation. He expressed the belief
that a method would be found whereby
the nationalist German Jews would be
come part of the life of Germany. He
deplored the fact that in recent weeks
certain of the decrees of the Government
had hurt “many Jews German in feeling”
as well as “Eastern Jews and Zionists
whom our Federation has always re
garded as aliens.”
New York, N. Y.—Forget and requ-
diate “racial solidarity,” graduates of
the School for Jewish Social Work
were told by Joseph M. Proskauer, Ameri
can Jewish Committee leader, at the
seventh annual commencement of the
school. The difficulties of the Jewish
situation in Germany have been multi
plied as a result of “racial solidarity,”
the former New York Supreme Court
Justice told the men and women who are
to administer Jewish social service ac
tivities in various communities. The
happiness of world Jewry is threatened,
Mr. Proskauer said, because of “the
tendency on the part of some Jews to
emphasize and transmute the cultural
and religious tradition into a solidarity
which sets us apart—which makes us
a separate and unique people in respects
in which we have no right to be separate
and unique.”
