'Phe American who does not realize this has neither mental honesty nor knowledge of our history.” Mr. Smith further declared that he has “always suspected that some of the more drastic provisions of our (immigration) laws and some of the national quotas which were established were fixed on the basis of fantastic Aryan theories rather than American principles.” New York—An organized effort to counteract the effect of the anti-German boycott in this country has been started by a new group calling itself the Com mittee for Better Trade Relations With Germany. The committee, which has its headquarters in the office of H. A. John son, American representative of the Leip zig Fair, consists of Mr. Johnson, John Schroeder of the North German Lloyd, E. Schmitz of the German Tourist In formation Service, and I)r. A. Degener, secretary of the Board of Trade for Ger- man-Amcrican Commerce, has already circularized 5,000 firms dealing with Ger many whom it expects to enroll as mem bers. The circular contains the recent protest of the Steuben Society against the boycott, a similar protest by the German- American Board of Trade and a sum mary of a speech by Dr. Schmitt, German minister of economics.

Montreal—The congress of Canadian Jews will hold its first meeting in On tario on January 27, 1934. General dis trict elections of delegates are to be held throughout the Dominion on November 21. There will be a total of 221 dele gates. Eastern Canada is entitled to 67 delegates, 59 of them from Montreal. Ontario will have 90 delegates, 46 of them from Toronto; Western Canada will be represented by 37 delegates. Mexico City—Aroused at a new out break of anti-Semitic propaganda in all parts of Mexico, which is being financed and supported by Nazis, Mexican Jewish organizations are organizing a commis sion to call on the Mexican government with a lequest to act promptly to halt the “slanderous, lying llitlerist propaganda.” Moses Rosenberg, editor of Der Weg, Yiddish weekly, has revealed that the Nazis are using a Spanish-language peri odical for spreading lies against the Jews and for urging anti-Semitic legislation on the government. He charged that Ger man firms in Mexico are seeking to in fluence the Mexican press by advertising and that all firms with German man agers, even those not owned by Germans, have become links in the Nazi propa ganda machine. A mass meeting of nationalist Mexicans directed by Nazis was recently held here. The anti-Jewish agitation, which is strongest in the provinces, has taken the form of special papers, pamphlets, bill boards and leaflets. At the same time the anti-German boycott is growing, even among non-Jewish firms. German Jews here are, however, holding themselves aloof from all anti-Nazi activity for fear of reprisals against their relatives in Ger many.
