NATIONAL and FOREIGN
^ illiam Randolph Hearst, world promi
nent newspaper publisher, extended to
U. S. Jewry the following message that
appeared in all Hearst publications:
"I hope this New Year will inaugurate
a new era of liberty and enlightenment
through the world. At present the world
seems plunging back into the Dark Ages
of bigotry and cruelty, of prejudice and
persecution.
“The duty of America should be to
keep our part of the world bright with
the light of liberty, cleansed of the black
hatreds and evil antagonisms which breed
like bats in the dark of ignorance and
intolerance.
“Education and understanding will
make us a race of brothers living in mu
tual affection and mutual appreciation.
“ Thus may America become an example
to the rest of the world, leading it back
to the light and showing it not only the
moral but the material benefit of toler
ance and freedom.”
Vienna.—Two estates in Gaming and
Ybbsitz have been turned over to the
Austrian government by Barons Louis and
Alphonse Rothschild, in connection with the
liquidation of the Creditanstalt, of which
Baron Louis Rothschild was president, and
Baron Alphonse a large stockholder. Both
Rothschilds sacrificed their stock holdings
in the Creditanstalt to facilitate its liqui
dation. The cession of the two estates
will make it possible for the Austrian
government to colonize several hundred
settlers.
Amsterdam.—The bill passed by the
lower chamber of the Dutch parliament
to limit the number of foreign students in
Dutch universities does not mean that the
government intends to curb the right of
asylum in Holland, according to an an
nouncement by the minister of education.
While the measure was understood to be
a means of preventing the influx of hun
dreds of students fleeing from Germany,
the minister declared it will be applied
only in the case of extreme necessity to
prevent the matriculation of foreign stu
dents at the expense of Dutch students.
Berlin.—The epidemic of suicide among
the most prominent German Jews who see
no hope in a Nazi Germany has claimed
as its latest victim Professor Max Als-
berg, one of Germany’s most brilliant crim
inal lawyers, and a noted playwright, and
Professor Edmond Foerster, director of the
clinic for nervous diseases at the Uni
versity of Griefswald. Professor Alsberg
killed himself in Switzerland, while Pro
fessor Foerster died in Berlin.
Amsterdam.—The president of the Am
sterdam court has issued a ruling that
propaganda urging the boycott of Ger
man goods is legal. The decision was
made in connection with a suit against
the chairman and secretary of the Dutch
Committee Against Terror and Persecu
tion in Germany by the management of
the Dutch Industries Fair at Utrecht. The
management of the fair had sought an
injunction to prevent the committee from
circulating leaflets outside the fair gates
urging patrons not to buy German goods
which were on exhibition at the fair. Al
most simultaneously the lower house of
the Dutch parliament enacted a law for
bidding the wearing of uniforms by po
litical parties.
JOSEPH T. ROBINSON (Senator) on
the floor of the United States Senate de
nounced the Hitlerite persecution of the
Jews in a speech which precipatated
strong criticism of the German govern
ment’s anti-Jewish policies by other mem
bers of the Senate.
Pittsburgh.—The Carnegie Institute of
Technology has announced that three ex
iled German-Jewish scientists have been
appointed to its faculty. They are Pro
fessor Otto Stern, former head of the In
stitute of Physical Chemistry at the Uni
versity of Hamburg; his aide, Professor I.
Kstermann, and Professor Ernst Berl,
former professor of chemistry at the Uni
versity of Darmstadt.
Vienna.—Neither race nor religious in
tolerance will have a place in the new
“Christian German State on a corporative
basis with authoritarian leadership”
planned for Austria, Chancellor F’ngelbcrt
Dolfuss announced. He said that the new
state should not be referred to as a Fascist
state, but will be fitted to Austrian needs
and spirit without imitating the Italian
model and certainly not the Hitlerite
model. The new state will be open to
members of the old parties, he explained.
The Chancellor emphasized that Austria
must consider “a man’s soul above all
questions of race or nationality.”
The Chancellor’s statement is expected
to allay the widespread anxiety in Jewish
circles which had developed when it be
came known that he expected to dissolve
the Socialist administration of Vienna and
name Prince Ernest Starhemberg as city
commissar. Starhemberg, who was once
an associate of Adolf Hitler, is an avowed
anti-Semite, and if he became ruler of
Vienna the lot of the Jews would be none
too happy.
New York.—Three more German pro
fessors who will join the faculty of the
University in Exile which opens here in
October, have arrived. They are Max
Wertheimer, professor of psychology at
the University of Frankfurt; Professor
Ernest von Hornboste, former head of the
department of music at the University of
Berlin, and his son, J. Hornboste, former
professor of physics at the same univer
sity.
