Reports Fascists Gaining
In The United States
Chicago (WNS)—Fascist activities
have made tremendous gains in the
United States, Professor Robert
Morse Lovett, of the University of
Chicago, told the second United
States Congress Against War and
Fascism. Notwithstanding the im
mense strides by Fascist movements
local authorities have done nothing
to curb them, Professor Lovett as
serted. The Congress closed with
the adoption of a resolution de
nouncing the Nazi regime for its
persecution of Jews and others.
Abandoning Anti-Jewish
Policy Says Wm. Hearst
New York (WNS)—"The whole
policy of anti-Semitism in Germany
is Much an obvious mistake that I
am sure it must soon be abandoned
in fact, I think it is already well on
the way to abandonment,” William
Randolph Hearst, newspaper pub
lisher, declared on his return to New
York on the 8. S. Bremen after a
three month’s stay in Europe during
which he spent some time in Ger
many and Interviewed Hitler. Con
demning dictatorships, Mr. Hearst
reported that in his opinion Hiller
appeared to be popular with the
masses chiefly because of "his ad
vocacy of a united Germany cap
able of resisting encroachment of
injustice from foreign powers."
Asked whether he thought the
German people approved of Hit
ler’s Jewish policy, Mr. Hearst as
serted that "I do not think that dis
crimination against the Jews is
considered desirable by thinking
Germans generally. I do not think
that this is one of the policies
which has given strength to the
Hitler administration. I think it has
been very definitely a weakness,
rather than a strength, at home in
Germany as well as abroad." Mr.
Hearst also expressed the opinion
that “the Jewish economic boycott
should be exceedingly serious for
Germany. I think Germany made a
great mistake in regard to the Jews
as I have said before in interviews.
Furthermore, I cannot see any reas
on for any hostility to the Jews in
Germany."

Soviet Union Welcome#
Qualified Jew Refugees
New York (WNS)—A new and
hopeful epoch for the suffering
Jews of Eastern and Central Europe
opened when M. A. A. Troyanovsky,
Soviet ambassador to the United
States, told a delegation of Jewish
business men, editors and econom
ists. in effect that his government
would look with favor on the set
tlement of qualified Jewish refu
gees and other Jews from foreign
countries In the Soviet Union, es
pecially in the recently proclaimed
autonomous Jewish republic Biro
Bldjan.
In the first official expression by
a spokesman for the Soviet Gov
ernment on the possibility of open
ing the gates of the U. S. S. R. to
Jews from other countries, Am
bassador Troyanovsky told a dele
gation from the American Commit
tee for the Settlement of Jews in
the U. 8. S? R. that he was Inter
ested In and symphathetlc to a
plan to settle Jewish refugees and
other Jews from foreign countries
in the Soviet Union. The importance
of this statement to world Jewry
can hardly be over-estimated in
view of the closed door policy of
practically every other country in
the world.
Ambassador Troyanovsky's far-
reaching statement, which was made
in response to a memorandum sub
mitted to him at the Consulate
General of the U. S. S. R. by the
delegation of the American Com
mittee for the Settlement of Jews
in the U. S. S. R. means that the
Jews of ^Eastern and Central Europe
to whom the gates of West Euro
pean lands, America. Australia,
South Africa, and Oanada are clos
ed by stringent Immigration quotas
can look forward to new homes in
the Soviet Union.
The delegation’s memorandum
pointed out that it was the aim and
purpose of the recently established
American Committee for the Settle
ment of Jews in the U. S. S. R. to
facilitate the settlement of Jews
from other countries in the Soviet
Union. particularly in Biro Bidjan,
and to inaugurate a fund7raising
campaign for this purpose. The
memorandum laid stress on the
tragic plight of the Jews in the var
ious countries of Eastern and Cen
tral Europe and emphasized the
urgency of finding suitable terri
tories where these Jews may be re
established economically under a
friendly government.
Ambassador Troyanovsky inform
ed the delegation that he viewed
with considerable interest and com
plete sympathy the problem of Jews
whose situation is such that it is
necessary for them to migrate, and
who, by training, vocation and in
clination. are fit to settle in the U.
S. S. R. Among those in the delega
tion submitting the memorandum to
Ambassador Troyanovsky were W.
W. Cohen, chairman; Reuben Brain-
in, veteran Jewish writer, who ex
tended the greetings of the Com
mittee; James Waterman Wise,
editor of Opinion, who was spokes
man for the delegation; Dr. Marcus
Nadler, Dr. Henry Moskowits, Dr.
Jew# Who Join Crusade
Against Hollywood Jews
Kansas City, Mo. (WNS)—Jews
who have joined the crusade to
clean up Hollywood and who agree
"solemnly and unreservedly when it
is charged that the Jews of Holly
wood have had no purpose except
to deluge the world with a ‘river of
filth’ " have “performed a doubtful
service to their people," accprding
to John C. Moffitt, movie critic of
Kansas City Star. Mr. Moffit points
out that the Jewish producers of
Hollywood “have done many fine
things. Few of these fine things
have made money. Perhaps that is
why they have had to make some
things that were in bad taste—Just
to pay for the good ones. It speaks
highly for their integrity that in
spite of the fact that constructive
and Inspirational subjects seldom
make profits these Jews continued
to risk their fortunes in them. That
the Jewish leaders are willing to
admit the faults of their brethren in
the movies makes them seem fair
minded men. But when they ab
jectly refuse to speak honest words
in regard to the worthy things Jews
have done in Hollywood they are
guilty of either a lack of informa
tion or of a timidity that usually is
foreign to leadership." Mr. Moffit
reprinted parts of the recent debate
on whether Jews should Join the
clean film crusade syndicated by the
Seven Arts Feature Syndicate.

will continue the fight for the en
actment of such a federal law until
Congress acts.”
