IE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE* NATIONAL and FOREIGN 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.
