Coty,
France's   Leading   Anti- Semite, Dies
PARIS (WNS)—The death of Fran¬ cois Coty, millionaire perfume manufac¬ turer and newspaper publisher, removes from the public scene France's leading anti-Semite. For years Coty waged a bitter campaign against the Jews in his three newspapers. Le Figaro, L'Ami du peuple and L'Ami du Peuple du Soir. A bitter foe of all radical and liberal move¬ ments, Coty linked Jews and Communists indiscriminately. His vindictive drive against the Jews precipitated some years I ago a spontaneous world-wide Jewish boy I cott on his perfumes. Two years ago he was sued for libel by the Jewish War Veterans of France, who received a judg¬ ment. With the advent of Fascist ten¬ dencies in France Coty devoted part of his huge fortune to organizing the Solld- arite Francalse, a. Nazi-like movement whose menibers wear blue shirts and cn- gage in Jew-haitlng.

»y Abram I. Elkus
This morning word came to nic of the death of Max J. Kohler, colleague and friend (if many years' standing, and co¬ worker with me both In the councils of the American Jewish Committee and the B'nai B'rith. It was hard to realize that he had passed from among us; it is always Iiard to adjust one's self to a severe, perhaps irreparable loss. I felt [his death more keenly because to the last 'he did not abate one jot In his public- spirited labors. The newspapers, in fact, report that his death was due to over¬ work,
I can well believe it. I remember that .some twenty-five years ago, when wc first worked tdgethcr in behalf of Jewish Im- niigranls. he impressed me with his thor¬ ough-going, conscientious method of pro¬ cedure. It was a time when numerous deportations were threatened because of a ruling by the new. Commissioner of Immigration of tlie Port of New York. We both instituted proceedings in behalf of four immigrants about to be deported; and before the trial was concluded the commissioner reviewed the findings and the immigrants were admitted; and an important precedent was established. As far back as that cplsode-^lt was In the first decade of this century—it w.ns un¬ mistakable that in Max J. Kohler the American Jews had an extraordinarily able and conscientious champion.
He was indeed the champion of the immigrant par c.vccUcucc. There was hardly a cause of any importance involv¬ ing the rights of Immigrants to these fihorcs within the last score, or more years in which Max J. Kohler did .not make mntc important, and frequently all-im- [purtant, contribution.. His entire life, in fact, was the strongest rebuke to those' demagogues and dccriers who prattled so heedlessly of divisions among the Jews, qf German Jews versus Russian Jews, and inore 'such nonsense. They knew that no one more than Mr. Kohler rejected these unwholesome barriers'; that, while he was, in fact, born of German-Jewish parentage, hls" battles were concerned with the East-European immigrant, who at that, time was conn'ng to the shores of our country in large, numbers.
He was a philanthropist in the true sense of the word, giving of himself un- stintlngly to the causes that he held dear. He spared no pains when he had a prob¬ lem of law to decide or a brief to pre¬ pare; It is not to be wondered at that his advice was sought by various quarters. The cases he argued before the United Slates Supreme Court and before lower federal courts marked him for the expert ill immigration law tbat he was. A judge 'could rest,assured that in his preparation of a case Kohler had examined every authority.
The toial number of cases that lie took on without fee, but simply out of desire to help, will never be known. I know he had many of them: ¦ I know they obtained his undivided attention although they were charity cases. They were on that account a labor of love with him.
It still surprises me to review the many organizations with which he was associ¬ ated.. And for Mr. Kohler to be with 'an organization meant that he gave of his best abililies. He did not set any value on empty honors. Work, achievement service to his people—these were the thing.s that mattered. It held true in his association with the American Jewish Committee, with the Baron de Hirsch Fund, with the Judaeans, with the Ameri¬ can Jewish Historical Society, with the B'nai B'rith, and with many another or¬ ganization.
Courage was, the mark of his entire life. He did not hesitate to espouse un¬ popular causes. His views sprang from an Intimate knowledge of the facts. He was in no small degree a scholar, although j professionally he was a lawyer engaged in| the day-by-day tumultuous practices of the law. In that very practice, moveover, he exhlbite<l certain mental traits of thoroughness, or research, of complete documentation which led him almost im- [lerceptibly into the field of historical re¬ search. We were for many years asso¬ ciated in the Judaeans, before whom he presented many original and significant papers. I do^not know of any collected book of his writings, but I feel sure that

with life under the rule of the new tem¬ porary Fascist Chancellor, Prince Ernst Ruediger von Starhemberg; a former as¬ sociate of Hitler and himself a notorious anti-Semite. Consoling themselves with the thought that Starhemberg's regime can scarcely be worse than a Nazi gov¬ ernment, but possibly better, Austrian Jews arc prepared for almost anything. Even if Kurt Schuschnigg assumes the Chancellorship, Priiice von Starhemberg, as leader of the Hcimwchr, would be the de facto dictator.
Although Starhemberg cannot be. re¬ garded as a blessing to Austrian Jewry, he is believed to be opposed to violence and the Aryan laws. On this score the new regime may be regarded as an im¬ provement over a possibility of a Nazi I regime. Starhemberg, however, lias a:|i~ ¦ nounced that he will adhere strictly to the policies imtlated'by Dollfuss, which ineana that Austrian Jewry, may expect ail intensification of the economic anti- Semitism which Is already tightening around its neck. The new Chancellor favors the numerus " ciausus, and the Elimination of Jews from the professions and business.
Ill a number ot respects the new ])o- litical developments In Austria may ulti¬ mately redound to the advantage of the Jews. Starhemberg, as a protege of Mus- .solini, will unquestionably do 11 Duce's bidding, and the Italian dictator is known to oppose anti-Semitism of any kind he- cause It damages the reputation of Fas¬ cism, In other words, Austrian Jewry looks to Rome rather than to Vienna for protection.
Starhemberg's complete political and fi¬ nancial dependence on the great powers may also cause him to temper his per¬ sonal anti-Semitic leanings. He cannot afford to antagonize world public opinion by persecuting Jews or any other element of tiie population. The determination of Italy, France and England to maintain the independence of Austria at all costs is ¦ another factor tfiat may prevent any aggravation of the Jevfish situation here. The diplomatic rule that what happens In any one country Is strictly an internal matter and no concern of the world (rig¬ idly adhered to when Germany launched her anti-Semitic drive) will be forgotten In the case of Austria, because Europe will not permit Germany to swallow up Austria. Tliis is generally accepted here. Joint foreign intervention in Austria might,, be another factor likely to save Austrian Jewery from the fate of Ger¬ man Jewry. ...;
Although conditions throughout Austria are still unsettled and the future compo¬ sition of the government uncertain, Jew¬ ish life goes on much as it did before. Not many Jews are leaving the country. The Zionist Organization, however, has been besieged for immigration certificates to Palestine. Jews from the provincial centers are pouring into Vienna, which escai>ed most of the warfare of last week. But by and large Jewish life goes on much as it did before. There Is of course a marked undercurrent of tension and uncertainty as to the future, but so far as your correspondent has been able to determine the recent upheaval passed without a single serious. anti-Semitic in- udent.    Both sides were too busy with
