Moacs—Moses 1
Tlioiigli tlic nomination of Robert Wo.ses for the New York gubernatorial face .still bangs in the balance as this is written, we feel justified in pointing out that it was 'way back in last Ivtay that wc niontioned Mr, Moses as a very likely prospect for this Republican Empire'State iioiniiiation...Which reminds us to mind you that a year ago wc told you \v!iy this same Mr. Moses didn't become a candidate for the city hall job now held Iiy Mr. La Gtiardia—vizi, the Moses nomination was blocked by a whispering campaign to the effect -that he had been converted.. ..OfTicially, we understand, Mr. Moses' religious afTiliation is with the Ethical Culture Society, the founder of which was Dr, Felix Adlcr, a Jew, while its membership includes numcroui Aryans...Incidentally, Mr. Moses' pa- tronyn\ic has led at least one political cartoonist to describe bim as the logical person to lead the N. Y. Republicans out of the wilderness...
Mu&iings .We are happy to note that the New York Deutsches Volkstheater has'an¬ nounced that it will not let its offerings be colored by political, propaganda and tliat at least one of the plays planned for production this season is the work of an exiled German Jewish dramatist, ...A hundred and two years ago, W. W. re¬ minds us, the government of Lower Can¬ ada, now known as the Province of Que¬ bec, set a precedent for all the rest of the world by according complete political emancipation to the Jews...A justifiably indignant Baltimore reader has sent in a clipping of an ad from one of that city's papers wherein the reader is advised to purchase a certain product because, among other thipgs, it is put out by a hundred- per-cent Gentile concern... And one of Brooklyn's political candidates complains bitterly about a whispering campaign that is making headway against him because his descent is pure German.,. This World Changes
Bernard G. Richards, former executive secretary pf the American Jewish Con¬ gress, now holds a similar position with the non-sectarian Anti-Nazi League...^ While Elias Ginsburg, once one of the master minds of this Samuel Untermyer outfit, now is in charge of the anti-Nazi exhibit sponsored by the Congress and scheduled for October 20...The plan, wc hear, is to charge admission to this ex¬ hibit, which is supposed to show boycot (ers how to find good substitutes for Nazi-made goods...Is it expected that the admission chiarge will bring larger crowds to the exposition?...William Z. Spiegelman no longer is the associate publicity director of the Congress.. Those who have been wondering why Ezekiel Rabinowitz is no longer the chief executive of the non-sectarian Anti-Nazi League will learn here that his resigna¬ tion was "accepted" because he recently used some very undiplomatic language in telling a lady committee member that she didn't know beans about the proper way to carry on a boycott.. .The Palestine Economic Corporation, which owns a substantial interest in the King David Hotel of Jerusalem, doesn't appear deeply concerned about the recent dismissal of all Jews from the staff of the hostelry... Perhaps, however, it is more- perturbed by the rumor that the P. E. C. itself will soon be forced to give up its sharehold¬ ings in the hotel...
An Courant Maurice Samuel's novel "Beyond Wo¬ man," out oiily last week, already is cre¬ ating a furore ..in literary circles... Lud¬ wig Lewisohn has told us that he con¬ siders it the brainiest novel ever produced in this country...Lewisohn's own new book, "The Permanent Horizon," is dedi¬ cated to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, which won't prevent Dr. Wise from reviewing it personally in an early issue of his son Jimmy's Opinion..iHave we told you that Meyer W. Weisgal is now in Holly¬ wood, hobnobbing with the great movie moguls and trying to put over a deal tbat will again split the news columns wide open?...A new standard in social service publicity is being set by Aaron Fishman, Manliattan attorney, who has created a mag called Convalescence and dedicated to the work of the Jewish Home for Convalescents at Grand View on the Hudson... Have you seen the Penitence Seals sent out by the Religious Recon¬ struction Committee of the Union of Or¬ thodox Jewish Congregations ?... They sell at a penny apiece, and the funds ob¬ tained from their sate are to be used to advance the welfare of Jewish spiritual institutions.,. Our midwest correspondent tells us that Judge Lewis Drucker of Cleveland, once known as a confirmed bachelor, is about to marry Mitzi Harri- (Conttmied an page ST)
Wm. Randolph Hearst Sees
Nazis Abandoning Anti-
Jewish Policy
NEW YORK (WNS)—"The whole policy of anti-Semitism in Germany is such an obvious mistake that I am sure it must soon bo abandoned; in fact, I think it is already well on the way to abandonment," William Randolph Hearst, newspaper publisher, declared on his re¬ turn to New York on the S. S. Bremen after a three month's stay in Europe,1 during which hcispcnt some time in Ger- ' many and interviewed Hitler, Condemn¬ ing dictatorships, Mr. Hearst reported that in his opinion Hitler appeared to be popular with the masses chiefly be¬ cause of "his advocacy of a united Ger¬ many capable of resisting encroachment of injustice from foreign powers."
Asked whether he thought the German people approved of Hitler's Jewish policy, Mr. Hearst asserted that "I do not think that discrimination against the Jews is considered desirable hy 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 Ger¬ many as well as abroad." Mr. Hearst also expressed the opinion that "the Jewish economic boycott should be ex¬ ceedingly serious for Germany. I think Germany made a great mistake in regard tp the Jews; as I have. said before in interviews. Furthermore, I cannot see any reason for any hostility to the Jews in Germany."

Untermyer Protests to Hull Against Rumored German- American Trade Treaty
NEW YORK (WNS)^Takiiig cog- nizanze of the widespread rumors of ne¬ gotiations for a German-American re¬ ciprocal trade treaty which would open American markets to German goods and thus break the boycott, Samuel Unter¬ myer, as president of the Non-Scctarian Anti-Nazi League, formally protested against any, such treaty in a letter to Secretary of State Hull. Pointing out that there have been numerous rumors that the State Department is negotiating with Gernijany for a commercial, pact Mr. Untermyer declared that he has in¬ formation that five German cotton mer¬ chants, acting for their government, are now in this country with authority to buy large quantities of cotton against pay¬ ment in American merchandise.
"These reports, if true, are now sufti- ciently definite to justify us. in entering i\  formal emphatic protest against any such agreement or any further negotia¬ tions looking in that direction, as contrary to the best interests of the country," Mr. Untermyer declared.   Regardless of what agreement might be made between Ger many and this country it will be impos' sible to "overcome the righteous, country' wide   trade-resistance   against   German I goodb"    because    "outraged    Catholics, I Protestants, Jews, labor unions and wo- j men cannot be compelled to buy them," Mr. Untermyer asserted.
Reverting to Mr. Hull's recent state¬ ment that such measures as the anti-Nazi boycott would cost the United States five dollars in exports for every dollar's worth of goods kept out of this country, Mr. l^ntermyer said that this is a "glaring inaccuracy" since last year the United States sold to Germany only $1.15.worth of goods for every dollar's worth bought there. He also asserted that "the uni¬ form result of our past experience ir commercial and financial transactions with Germany ever since the war has been disastrous to, us. When Germany has not defaulted upon its solemn obliga tions, or repudiated them, we have been paid either in 'stage money' or depreci¬ ated currency,"
Mr. Untermyer further declared that Mr. Hull's "views on the refusal of Amer¬ icans to purchase Nazi goods, as a pro¬ test against the persecution by the Third Reich of its helpless minorities sounds very much like qualified approval of the Hitler-Schacht policy that has thus far resulted in the repudiation by Germany of more than a billion dollars worth of bonds owned by American investors; has deprived the latter of some $70,000,000 annually due them as interest on their holdings, and has caused a decline hi the market value of American-owned German bonds of almost one-third of a billion dollars."
The protest ended with Mr. Unter- myer's insistence that "judged by past experiences of our dealings with Ger¬ many, which have cost us literally bil lions of dollars, the less goods we sell that country, and the less business we do with it, the better off we will be."
Rabbi Max C. Currick to Occupy Temple Pulpit Friday, Oct. 12
Many arc anticipating the visit of Rabbi Max C. Currick, of Congregation Ashe Chesed, Erie, Pa., who will occupy ihe pulpit of the Bryden Road Temple on this coming   Friday  evening,   October   12th,
Rabbi Currick is one of the distin¬ guished men in (he American Jewish pul pit, an able leader, a lucid thinker and a man of scholarly achievements. He has attained a pre-eminent success in his own ministry in Erie where his name is a household word for all. that is typical of a fine and wise spirit.'
Rabbi Samuel M. Gup of the Bryden Road Temple has been appointed by Dr. Samuel H. Goldcnson, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, to be one of ten delegates to attend an important meeting of tho Synagogue Councit of America, which will be hel,c! at the Temple Emanuel Community House, New York City, on Sunday af¬ ternoon, October 14,
Representatives of the three great branches of American Jewish religious life will be present, in the spirit of co¬ operation and friendliness, to solve many of their common problems. These or¬ ganizations, which will scud ten dele¬ gates each, include the Central Confer¬ ence of American Rabbis, representing the liberal wing of Judaism in America, the Rabbinical Assembly of America, which includes the conservative rabbis, and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis, which comprises the orthodox rabbinate. In 1926 these three rabbinical bodies formed the Synagogue Council of Amer¬ ica. Ever since that time, this council has been functioning as a vital Jewish agency. In this council religious diver¬ sity is recognized. This agency was cre¬ ated because of the complexion and bur¬ dens of the Jewish population of America and because of the recognition of the value of organization and collective ac¬ tion, to meet the various situations which confront them in common.
This synagogue council has within it the possibility of developing as the re¬ cognized religious voice ol all religious Jewry in our country. It may ultimately become the vehicle of attaining religious unity in American Israel. Religious di¬ versity may remain, but the'council may prove to be the instrument for initiating a program that will make for composite unity.
