London.—A hill designed to offer these
Jews of Germany who have fled from
Hitlerland an opportunity to heroine citi
zens of the Kritish Empire bv promoting
and extending citizenship in Palestine has
been introduced into the British House
of Commons by Commander Oliver
Looker-Sampson. Mr. I.ocker-Sampson de
clared that “if the League of Nations
does not act, the British Empire at least
ought to stand by Jewry in its trouble.”
His bill, he pointed out, would prove to
be a practical extension of citizenship in
Palestine to those Jews who want it and
a confirmation of British duties.
The I.ocker-Sampson bill was offered
while Professor Albert Einstein sat in
the visitors’ gallery of the House of Com
mons. In urging the passage of his bill,
Mr. I.ocker-Sampson referred to Einstein
when he charged Germany with bullying
a small minority and suppressing “the
cream of her culture. She has even
turned away her most glorious citizen,
Professor Albert Einstein. Today Pro-
feessor Einstein is without a home and
when he is asked to put his address in
visitors' books in England he has to
write ‘without any.' The Huns have
stolen his savings, plundered his place of
residence, and even taken his violin.
How proud this country must be to have
offered him shelter at Oxford.” The
spirit of frightfulness that overwhelmed
Belgium is now being turned to the per
secution of a helpless handful of people,
Commander I.ocker-Sampson said.
Simultaneously with the introduction of
this measure, the Daily Herald published
a statement calling on the Jews and the
world in general to quickly find place for
400,000 German Jews, either in Palestine
or elsewhere. The Daily Herald points
out that Brazil, Turkey, Australia, Per
sia, Tunis, Morocco, France and the Ar
gentine have already announced their
willingness to permit the entry of Ger
man Jews.
Berlin.—The world-wide Jewish boy
cott of German shipping has “severely
hurt the Hamburg-Ame rican's business
and is continuing to hurt it and German
shipping generally so greatly that the
volume of business is constantly falling
back,” Dr. Max von Schinkel told the
stockholders of the Hamburg-American
Line at a meeting at which the entire
board and Marius Boeger, managing di
rector of the Line, resigned as a protest
against the company’s coordination with
the Nazi regime.
When the time came to elect new mem
bers of the board all of the Jewish mem
bers, including Max Warburg, brother of
Felix M. Warburg, were eliminated, be
cause of the government's policy of anti-
Semitism.
Madrid.—Leon Trotsky, once an exile
in the United States from Czarist per
secution. may return to the United States
as the first Soviet Ambassador to Amer
ica. A report to this effect became cur
rent here after the announcement that
Spain had officially recognized the Soviet
Government. Trotzky, exiled by Stalin,
is now in France for medical treatment,
but it is understood that he is about to
make his peace with Stalin who will
then appoint him Soviet Ambassador to
Spain and later, when the United States
extends recognition to Russia, transfer
Trotzky to the Washington embassy.
Mexico City.—Because the anti-Ger
man economic boycott fostered in Mexico
bv the Union of Jewish Merchants has
resulted in a decline of ten per cent in
the import of German goods. Walter
Zechlin, German Ambassador here, has
made a formal protest to the Mexican
government against the boycott. He
claimed that the boycott is contrary to
Mexican law. The protest, regarded in
local German circles as a warning, points
out that there can be no objection to
individuals boycotting a country, but when
an organized group sponsors it that it
is unlawful. While the Mexican gov
ernment has not yet replied to the con
sul’s protest it is unofficially reported that
the government agrees with his stand.
Anti-Jewish agitation has been spread
ing throughout Mexico as a result of the
protest of Germans here to the Federa
tion of Merchants.
Berlin.—Germany, once the recognized
musical center of the world, is rapidly
becoming a second-rate musical nation
as the Hitlerites continue to oust eminent
conductors, composers and players be
cause of their unwillingness to accept the
Hitler gospel. The 75-year-old veteran,
Karl Muck, has resigned from the con-
ductorship of the famous Hamburg Sym
phony because he could not acquiesce in
the ideas of the Nazi chieftains and be
cause he declined to accede to the politi
cal coordination of the Hamburg Sym
phony and the Hamburg Opera. At the
same time Wilhelm Furtwaengler, con
ductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Or
chestra, is finding it increasingly difficult
to obtain the usual representation of for
eign artists for next year’s season. For
eign musicians reply to all invitations
with “regrets" while Germany’! own
musicians, remain abroad either because
they are Jews or because they are other
wise regarded as undesirables by the
Third Reich.
London.—Confident that the world-wide
economic boycott by Jews of German
goods and services will not only be con
tinued on an efficient basis while the
Nazi persecutions last but that it will cut
Germany's export trade by half, Samuel
Untermyer, president of the newly organ
ized Jewish World Economic Federation,
will leave here Monday for the United
States after two weeks of intensive ac
tivities in behalf of the Jews of Ger
many.
Mr. Untermyer is of the opinion that
the unfairness of the Nazi policy could
be made manifest by obtaining an opin
ion from the World Court in support
of the validity of the German promise to
respect minority rights given during the
negotiations on the Versailles Treaty. He
indicated that such an opinion would be
sought.
In the meantime, Sir Robert Mond, un
cle of Lord Melrhett, has replaced the
latter as chairman of the Jewish World
Economic Federation, Lord Melchett be
coming chairman of the Federation’s.
Berlin.—Plans to strengthen the Nazi
propaganda in the United States are ex
pected to be worked out at a conference
here between Nazi chieftains and T. St.
John Gaffney, former American consul in
Dresren and now a leader of the "Friends
of Germany,” an z\merican Nazi organi
zation, who is on his way here. Before
coming here Gaffney is expected to meet
the ex-Kaiser at Doom, Holland. Gaffney
was dismissed as American consul by
President Wilson because of his pro-Ger
man sympathies. Gaffney is now asso
ciated with America's Deutsche Post, the
Nazi organ in America.
Washington.—The appointment of three
citizens in each of the 48 states to direct
the expenditure of the $3,300,000,000 fed
eral public works fund in the states found
two states with Jews on these advisory
boards. They are W. P. Adler, of Iowa,
and Paul Mazur, of New York.
