They are rather refreshing. After all, man has a kick in this universe too. Arc we not all more or less invited fii'cstii un the fflohe, come here not of any vdliliiin {if ourown? Let me quote a translation of one of these Cliassidic prayers. "Good morning, Master of the Universe. I, Levi Yitzhok of Bcrditschef, have cume to hold Judgment with you concerning Your People, Jsrael. . What have you against Israel ? Why have You imposed Yourself upon 'I'Dur people Israel? ICverywhere You say, 'Command the Cliildren of Israel' Everywhere—'Speak to the children oi Lsrael!" The Russians—what do they say? That their Emperor is Master. The Germans—what do they say? That their Kaiser is ruler, But I, Levi Yitzhok of Bcrditschef, say 'Magnified and sanclilkd be the Great Name.' It seems to nie, that this contentious¬ ness with God, that these prayers are far from being blasphemous and reveal the warm conception of God that Jews have. They felt so near to God, that like any good friend they could give him a calling down. And yet Christian theologians tell 1 lis that tlie Jewish concept of God was too distant, lacking the warmth of the Christ concept. The Autograph Hunter A good story is being told of a young Jews, who but recently were high in the professions in Germany, are novf turning to carpentry, plumbing, stone cutting, brick laying and other manual trades as means of making livelihoods for themselves and families, Ralibi Irying F. Reicliert of San Francisco, wlio has just returned from a visit to that country, de¬ clared in a report submitted yesterday to Dr. Jonah Ii. Wise, National Chairman of the German, Relief Campiiign of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Com¬ mittee which is seeking $3,000,000 to aid the stricken Jews of that laiid. Rabbi Keichert went to Germany at the request of the chairman of the fund raising com¬ niittec. The teachng of trades, the establsh- mcnt of vocational schools and the pro¬ vision of food and clothing will he part of the program of relief and reconstruc¬ tion, Rabbi Reichert said, that will be carried cin by the German Relief Com¬ mittee with funds that arc being supplied by the American Jewish Joint Distribu- tiqii Committee and other fund raising agencies throughout the world, supple¬ mented by their own contributions. He said tliat although the problem of physi¬ cal relief at the present time is an im¬ portant one, it will assume gigantic pro¬ portions on or about October 1, and added that the chief task of American Jewry at this moment will be to raise as much money as is possible to help alleviate the physical suffering that will confront the Jews in Germany because of„the lack of food, clothing and shelter. In making public Rabbi Reichert's re¬ port, Ur. Wise announced that campaign.s arc now being held in over ;l(lO Jewish communities throughout the entire coun¬ try. As a result of these cfTorts. hi pointed out, three-quarters of a millinn dollars has, already been raised toward tlic *2.(K)0,000 goal.' O this sum N. York Jewry has subscribed $;i8t),00() in a campaign that is now beiuj; conducted fi ^I,0'6(),(IOO under the direction of Dudley D. Sicher and Allie S. Freed. Rabbi Reichert's report in part fol¬ lows : "The Germain Jews are meeting this .situation with a fortitude and heroism that beggars description; Their courage in the face of a hostility, that is bitter and relentless takes one's breath away. One of Germany's leading Jewish citi¬ zens told me without the slightest -sug¬ gestion of bravado, that he wished the Nazis would murder him and a fei;jf other Jews in cold blood, in order that the and unemployment insurance, will abso¬ lutely be cut off from Jews. German Jewish loaders, as wuH as Jewish leaders in b'riincc, lingland and Czecliu-Slovakia, .arc seriously concerned about this ini- pendiiig problem. It can only lie met ':y tb-;; overwhelming generosity uf Jews in ctiiintries outside of Germanv. "The movement to establish vocational schools and other schools of instruction for Jews who arc denied entrance in the regularly constituted Gernian institutions of learning, is well organized and mak¬ ing splendid progress. .^ I am not at liberty to divulge the names, of outstanding German Jewish ed¬ ucators, world renowned figures, who are directing this enterprise, but I can assure American Jewry on the basis of my con¬ versations with these men that their pro¬ gram is sound, constructive and far- sighted. They fully realize that the present conditions in Germany are not temporary and they arc laying their plans for a program extending over many decades. "In this connection it is noteworthy and pathetic to note the vast number of men and women who have been debarred from their professional careers as lawyers, judges, physicians, professors, engineers, etc., who are clamoring for an oppor¬ tunity to learn .a manual trade or farming iu order to prepare themselves practically for tho task-of earning a living on a much lower social scale than the one they fomierly occupied. Jews ^vlla once held respected positions of dignity and honor in the leading professions are turning to carpentry, metal working, plumbing, brick-laying, stone, ctttting and. other manual trades. The projected curricu¬ lum of the schools now being established will lay emphasis upon this type of vo- catioiial training. "As far as I can sec, thi; situation of (German Jewry is absolutely hopeless. Re¬ gardless of such political chaiigj^s as may occur within the next few yearsj so deeply has the feeling pf hatred been implanted in the contemporary genera' tion of Germany, that it will be impos' sible for the Jew in that country to live on a plan of mutual respect and tolera¬ tion with his non-Jewish neighbor for decades and perhaps generations to come. Moreover, the expatriation of 600,000 Jews is an utterly impossibli: task. ICven if Jews can be gotten out of Germany at the rate of 10,000 a year, which is a most optimistic maximum estimate, the great bulk of the Jewish population will remain behind. Their problem will have public interest hi other countries might to be solved in Germany. The chief task be attracted by such spectacular action to the. Nazi brutality which is more de¬ grading in its slow starvation methods of strangulation than such slaughtei: could possibly be, , "I spent many hours in the various cities that I visited in the headquarters of the German-Jewish Relief Commit¬ tees. They have been organized with ad¬ mirable speed and efficiency and they are performing an heroic service to the thou-, sands of Jews who have no other place to turn for advice, assistance and phy¬ sical relief. In Frankfurt-au-Main and in Berlin I personally interviewed scores of men and women who had been sum- ' marily dismissed from their positions in industry, government and the professions, whose financial assets were tightly frozen and who vvere in desperate need of mone¬ tary assistance and friendly counsel. The of American Jewry in the present crisis is to raise as much money as possible in order that the great tragedy of German Jewry may be somewhat alleviated by an assurance of the minimum physical re¬ quirements of food, clothing and shelter.''

Envoys to World Boy cott Conference In Preliminary Parley LONDON, July iS—The American delegation;to the Jewish Economic Con¬ ference summoned by Lord Alfred Mel- chett, chairman of the Council on Trades and Industries, to formulate a program for a strong world boycott of products of Nazi Germany, has decided to con¬ vene the conference in Amsterdam on July 20. The conference, which was to have opened in London on July 15, was postponed Ijy Ixjrd Melchett, until the Fall in order to allow more time for preparations. The American delegation, which con¬ sists of Samuel Untermyer, noted New York attorney; Dr. A. Coralnik, jour¬ nalist and president of the American League for the Defense of Jewish Rights, and Col. J. George Fredmari, past commander of the Jewish War Veterans, has communicated with the boycott groups in the various countries request¬ ing them to send their delegates to Amsterdam.. The delegation emphasized that it had taken the initiative not because it was in opposition to Lord Melchett but because it felt that a preliminary conference at Amsterdam was essential to coordinate the boycott and discuss questions which possibly the delegation will not have an opportunity to raise when Lord Mcl- chett's conference is convened, siiice the delegation may not be able to remain in Europe for that length of time. iBULLETIN" BERLIN, July 17—The central au¬ thorities today lifted the ban set last week on the withdrawal of funds of Jewish rtjlief organizations on deiwsit in banks here. All the relief organization ac¬ counts which had been blocked by this order have been released with the ex¬ ception of'those of the medical advi-sory bureau, which was raided last week and still remains closed at the brder of the Secret Police. Nazi Press Campaigns to Justify the Impending Seizure of Jews' Property BERLIN, July 17—A strong attempt to convince the German public that Jew¬ ish tMuigraiits from Germany arc engaged in anti-Nazi actrv'ities and arc conducting a campaign against the interests of Ger¬ many abroad, is being made by the Nazi press following publication of the cab¬ inet decrees authorizing the confiscation ,>i" priLincvty of Germans who have .fled ;ibroad. Under a banner headline, "What Our l-Cnimigrants Do in Paris," the Voel- kisclier Beobachter, Hitler's own news¬ paper, carries a five-column article on ils first page describing the activities of tjie Jewish Relief Coinmittce in Paris, it alleges that the German Jews in Paris are indulging in all types of anti-German activities, issuing publications, organizing anti-German protests and meetings and spreading "atrocity" propaganda regard¬ ing the maltreatment of Jewish women and the cutting off of thcbcards-of aged Jews. It al.'^ti accu.'ics these German Jews 'A having smuggled their property out of Germany and of having converted it into cash. Assails New York Times The Lokal Anzcigcr, emulating the Voelkiscber Beobachter, features a first page story from its New York corre¬ spondent, August Thai feld,' giving the impression that the Jews are the chief instigators in the United States against Germany and alleging tbat the "Ameri¬ can Zionist press," with other Jewish or¬ ganizations, is spreading information detrimental to Germany, thus infiiienci:^ senators, congressmen and others in high Government posts. The New York Times also receires its .share of the attack in .this paper. Adolph Ochs, publisher of the newspaper is de¬ scribed as a "Jew from Germany who went to the United States In war-time ahd is now fiercely engaged in campaign¬ ing against Germany with all kinds of atrocity propaganda." This-provocative article, which seeks to establish an atmosphere justifying the not-far distant confiscation of the prop¬ erty of Jews, concludes with the'assur¬ ance the United States, too, will become anti-Semitic because "the average Ameri- , can is an anti-Semite from the cradle." ready," said lihnan, with a third?"
