Delegates from every part of the United States discussed during the three days’ sessions the problems in membership, fund-raising and cultural work confront ing the 175 Units of Junior Hadassah and laid plans for the year to come. Miss Sulamith Schwartz, the National President of Junior Hadassah addressed the convention at the opening session. Junior Hadassah reports for the year a contribution of $35,452.50 towards its three Palestinian projects: the Children’s Village of Meier Shfeyah—where 100 children live a happy life free from the usual institutional stigma;— Pardess An na, an orange grove; and the Nurses’ Training School. In addition, Junior Ha dassah contributed $10,681.49 to the Jew ish National Fund—the fund which pur chases land in Palestine in the name of the Jewish people. In America, Junior Hadassah has dis tinguished itself in many ways during the past year. 'The organization shows an increase in membership and continued progress in its cultural work. Miss Esther Hrill of Chicago was con vention chairman. Stockholm, Sweden—The rise of the Nazi movement was given a severe check when the Swedish government issued an older barring the wearing of political uniforms effective at once. A ruling tightening the restrictions on the posses sion of lire-arms is also interpreted as being directed against the Nazis who have been gaining strength so rapidly in Swe den that King Gustav is reported to have gone to Austria for a first-hand study of Chancellor Dolfuss’ method of dealing with the Hitlerite agitation. Mail and newspapers to Swedish citizens have re cently been subjected to a sharp censor ship in Germany through which they have to pass. As a result the Swedish postal authorities have arranged with Czechoslovakia to have mail and news papers from Prague reach Sweden by a route which will avoid Germany. Amsterdam—For participating in po litical activities in the Heerlen mining district, two Nazis have been expelled from Holland simultaneously with the promulgation of a police order announc ing that all foreigners living in the Heer len section will not be permitted to cross the Dutch frontier to take part in Nazi exercises in Germany. Violators of the ruling will be expelled from Holland. Istanbul—Fifty German-Jewish profes sors and scientists exiled from Germany have been engaged by Turkish universi ties with the understanding that they must learn the Turkish language within two years and they must not engage in any private practice. New York, N. Y.—Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky has earned the unique distinction of being recommended for appointment as chief justice of the new Family Court by the Protestant Episcopal Mission So ciety. Rev. L. E. Sutherland, superintend ent of the Mission on Bleecker Street, has written to Mayor O’Brien, saying that the contact his organization has had with Magistrate Brodsky had convinced him of the Magistrate’s worth and under standing of human problems and his tine social vision. Berlin—Either through design or acci dent, the ambassadors to Germany from all the principal nations of Europe will find it impossible to attend the conven tion of National Socialists to be held at Nurenberg on August 30. All of the for eign envoys have been invited but few of them will be present. United States Ambassador William Dodd will be occu pied with presenting his credentials to President von Hindenburg and with the ensuing diplomatic functions. The am bassadors of England and Austria are on leave, while the envoys of France, Po land, Czechoslovakia and Roumania will be detained in Berlin by pressing duties. Of all the great powers only Italy may be represented by her ambassador. Berlin—In an article in the Voelkische Beobachter, Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler’s personal foreign minister, makes a bitter attack on Lord Melchett and on the Zion ist Congress. He declares that Lord Mel chett and the Zionist Congress are organ izing a boycott against Germany and charges that the plan to settle 200,000 German Jews in Palestine is a scheme to deprive Germany of an opportunity to revenge itself on the German Jews for any measures Jewry outside of Germany may take. Rosenberg warns that Germany may bar all Jews from leaving Germany and contends that all measures taken against the Jews are in conformity with German law. T HE SITUATION I N G E R M A N Y (Continued from page 4) an individual tragedy of several scores of thousands of Jewish men and women; it is the collective tragedy of a people whose choice ideal is being smashed. In a sense, it is probably the most poignant and pitiful thing happening in Germany at present. There may be events more spectacularly cruel in Nazidom, but noth ing more mean than this meanest of all the Nazi acts. The history of Jewish persecution has never known anything more perverse than this. The least useful part of the Jewish community is privileged, the most useful persecuted; the rich and ostentatious, who more than once brought shame upon their people, arc exempted, the poor and humble, who always worked and suffered in silence, are stricken down; Jewish finance is spared, and labor is uprooted; big business is tolerated, and professions are exterminated; all that is non-produc tive in Jewish life is left undisturbed, while the most inhuman attack is directed against everything which is non-parasitic. Whether the Nazis are conscious of the underlying principle of their Jewish policy, or not, it is a concentrated effort to drive the Jews back to the Ghetto, not only politically and socially, but above all economically; back to the mediaeval occu pations. The Nazi movement lays claim to Labor sympathies and to a certain revo lutionary spirit. There are some people who even take this claim seriously, and think and speak of the Nazis as of mis guided but sincere revolutionists with Labor inclinations. The pitiful tragedy of Jewish Labor in Germany, more than anything else, exposes the fallacy of such a belief. What people with the remotest Labor sentiment, let alone a healthy Labor instinct, could be guilty of such a das tardly crime against working men and women? What movement with the slighted affinity to social progress, let alone Revolution, could go so completely back to Mediaevalism? Copyrighted 1933 for The Southern Israelite C. H. K0NEMANN.
