Many Catholics Join in Anti- Nazi Boycott, Demonstrate in N. Y.
Our gowrper. having cMmIc*! out a wcek'ft viicntion. we are fortunato to bi> able to pre' sent, thrQUfb the courtly of Tbc New York Mirror nnd with the coopet^Uon of Walter WInchcII. Bon Hctbt, fammia playwright and author, A» guemt «dumniKt^Tlic  Editor.
In tlie uld dnys, wlicn tlie world was pushing ihtm around a bit, thc Jews > lairw why tlicy were hated. It was the j reward for being a Jew. GodSoved you ! but tiie goyim hated you. And this i seemed to thctn fair ciiuugU.
But today, when it is obvious that God loves nobody—least of iill the Jews —thc haired of the goyim is a little more complicated and infinitely more difficult to bear.
Religious folk don't mind being Iiatcd. They, as a rule, embrace the hatred of. the Infidel a.s a testimonial to thdir piety and a test of tlicir spiritual valor. And if need be they go singing, rather smugly, iO tticir death, leaving the world to the devil and his niyrmiddiis-
The Jews today, alas, are not a rer- ligious but a social folk. Thc continua¬ tion of the old persecution finds them therefore unarmed. -As a religious folfc» they were as spiritually valorous as any Old Guard, and they held their heads high against cahimiiy and carnage. ' As a social folk, however, they are a rather new phenomenon and tlicy haven't learned how to tal?e a snub. Even when the snub is adifiinistcrcd by so declasse a human being as thc androgynous Hitler.
On tlic other hand, I suppose that no¬ body could have hurt thc Jews as much as Germans. And the blame, sadly enough, belongs to the Jews. When this lough and cantankerous religious sect be¬ gan to sufTer its first great spiritual dis¬ solution in thc early 19th Century, il learned lo walk as a world citizen on German soil. It learned a.new language almo.st overnight and this language vras . an amusing distortion of the German tongue.
In the course of a half century all the Jews in thc world began to seem like Germans, whether they wanted to or not- because tlieir nomenclature and tlieir language were related to the German.
And, in their new born ambition to 'iccomc world citizens rather than syna- .goguc recluses, this pleased a goodly part; of the Jews. They became proud of the Kulturc, their worldliness, their . similarity to Germans. '
It IS the present tragedy of the Jew i that he had fo pick out Germans to Imi¬ tate. He presented as a gift to his-flat- . headed stepmother her two great arts— Music and the Theatre. And in return he borrowed the stifiF and irritating man- . ner.<i of Europe's most parvenuc and in- feriority^riddcn race. In his naivete as a world citizen,'he thought these manners were pretty hot.
It is this repudiation by the stepmother tliat spreads pain and confusion in the Jewish .soul, at least in the German Jew¬ ish soul
XFAV YOKK, N. Y, (WXS)—An in¬ dication uf how high feeling is running among the Catholics here because of thc Nazi drive agaiiist their co-religionists in Germany was seen in the demonstra¬ tion by 25 members of tlic Campion So¬ ciety^ Catholic group, before the German consulate here. Thc delegation did not succeed in, seeing the Consul General, as planned, but left at thc consulitc a vigor¬ ous protest against tlie Nazi ;pcrsccution of Catholics, Jews and other religious groups.
The Non-Scciarian Anti-Nazi I-caguc to Champion Human Rights, calling iipoii Congress and the President to express indignation' at the brutality of the Nazis, resolved also to ask that the gdvernmcnt give oflicial sanction to the boycott of German-made goods.' At the offices of thc League it waij stated tliat since the beginning of the recent Nazi drive many thousands of Catholics have joined in the boycott of Nazi goods.
The Commonwear, Catholic weekly, has called upon the Catholics 6f Anierica to boycott the Olympiad to hc held at Berlin next year in a strongly worded editorial which scores tlie tactics of the Nnzi govcrnincnt. "Wc summon each and every organization identified with the Church to make it clear to its mem¬ bers that participation in the approaching games means cnilorsement of wilful and vi()Ient persecution/' the editorial says at one point, and at anotlicr declares that the official Nazi literature "is xiqt merely anti-Semitic and brutal stiilT, but is pagan to the core."

Anti-Semitic And Anti-Catholic Campaign Not Abating In Reich
Mid-summer as T write. So I to speak of poets—of Jewish "Threaten' Legislation lo Oust Jcw.s"-- such is the headline of an Associated Press despatch from Berlin that stabs rite from thc front page of my moriiiag paper. And it almost secnis to me tliat it would be well if those maniacs in Ber¬ lin would try to make good this threat. For the other countries, the other cco^ iiomic systems, would tlicn be forced to intervene—cither to help the half mitlibn' men, women and children within Ger¬ many or to help them toward a well adjusted immigration. But maniacs have a certain astuteness; they need the ob¬ jects of their delusions; if the objects were gone, to what could their insanity attach itself?...Let us speak of poets nevertheless...
Is it not ironic that precisely in Ger¬ many Jews have become modern poets? Dazzled by a sudden light, tlicy rushed toward it like midges in a summer night and sang and singed their wings. How sombre that seems as a phenomenon in retrospect today I How far we are from Heinetoday; how little he can ever again mean to us—cither his ironic references to his Jcwishnc-ss or the bitter and empty half-remorse of his last dreadful years, or. above all, his triumphant: "I am a I Gennan poet, well knoWn in German lands..." Though driven forth from Germany his love and longing never died and many an Aryan, before 193;j, forgave him much for the sake of those verses: "Dcnfc ich ah Dcutschland in der Nacht!"

Jerusalem (WNS-Palcor Agency) The laying of the cornerstone of the Habimnh Art Theater Building, for the only Hebrew theater groiip iii the world, by thc High Commissioner for Palestine, Sir Arthur' Grcnfelt Wauchope. marked a new era in the cultural life of raiasccnt Palestine. After only a few weeks of campaigiung, some 11,001} pomids have been raised toward ,the erection of thc building which will he part of the new civic center proposed for the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv.
In October of this.year, the Habimah Theater group will mark its seventeenth birthday. During the years it lias grown from a small struggling group in Russia, wandering after its , exile, from Russia throughout the world, seeking a perma¬ nent home, until eiiough furals. were raised to send tlie group to' Palestine, where it has gone from success to suc¬ cess.
In the first fifteen years of their ex¬ istence, the playirs presented some 1,500 purformances in'about 1^5 cities. The desire to make concrete Uicir aim of a distinctly individual Hebrew culture has been brought before every type and form of audience in the civilized world.
Their new honie will mark the begin¬ ning of tlie modern period in their ex¬ istence, It has. been designed esiwcially for them by architects famed for tlieir achievements iu other countries. The building -is on grotmd .donated- by thc [city of Tel Aviv and will belong in effect to thc municipality, to be used free by the Habitnah players.

A Survey of the German Sit-
tiation. Based on WNS
News Reports
By ROBERT STONE
Ncw.s reports and dispatches rot with¬ standing, thc Nazi campaign against the Jews, Catholics and liberal sections of thc Protestants does not show any signs of abating. Much ado lias been made in connection with Hjalinir Schacht's ad« dress on the occasion of the Finance Min¬ ister's dedication pf a bust of Chancellor Hitler in the Kcichsbankhallc,. Berlin. His words were interpreted by foreign correspondents as hnplying Dr. Schacht's strong disapproval of the Nazi anti- Semitic campaign. The only sciitence in the German financial wizard's speech which refers indirectly to the recent dis- turb.'mces' in Germany stated:. "B'ut we cannot permit the weight of:this task to become unbearable by avoidable' disturb¬ ances of any kind whatsoever." It is thc view of aiithqritative observers ¦ of tiie German situation that thc interpretation of Dr., Schacht's .speech'has been in¬ spired from official Nazi sources in order to couiKcMct the growing reivcntmcnt against the Mazi anti-Semitic and anti- Catholic policy.
A survey of recent developments in Germany does not give any hope. to those who sec.a change of policy as re¬ gards discriminatory measures -by the government. As a matter of fact, the anti-Semitic campaign lias even spread to thc Saar district, where Jews are sup¬ posed to be protected in accordance with a special pronouncement by the German l^overnmcut some time ago..Reports.froni the Saar district tell of the dissolution of all Catholic youth organizations, while an aggressive campaign of insults is car¬ ried' on against the Jews without any interference by tlie autliorities.
The columns of Julius StrcicIicr's"Der Stuermer" have not shown any signs of relenting in their campaign. , Aryan girls associating.with Jews are listed on thc front, page of.. Der Stuermer, and the slogan tliat "thc Jews are tbe ruin of Germany" is. still' displayed 'above the masthead. In Halle the police arrested 7 Jews and <i Gentile women on "racial disgrace" charges. The Brcslau police issued a report that they bad arrested 221 "racial disgrace" offenders since July 13. In .ill sections of Gennany the'po¬ lice forces have been strengthened not only against; possible, incidents, in "non- Aryan" districts but to maintain order among the Aryans themselves, who arc showing definite' signs of discontent be¬ cause of the rising foo<l prices. ars
Count von Helldorf, Berlin's new po¬ lice commissioner, has given strict or¬ ders "in the interests of order" to Se¬ mitic-looking iiicn and women to Slay at home. The municipal press issued special bulletins \vaniing Jews .igainst coming to Berlin, ".is this influx is entirely un¬ desirable and contrary to the Reich's policy." The sanic anndunccment also makes it clear that needy Jews will not receive any public relief, but only healtli care.
Thus Ihc Jewish population of Ger¬ many is in the tragic position of being virtually expelled from certain cities and rcfased adn)itt.incc to others. In other words, the Hitler regime Jisks tlie Jews Of .Germany to commit a collective Hou¬ dini act and to evaporate into thin air. An incident in Berlin illustrates tlie new methods iiitrpduced by Count von Hell¬ dorf. .\ member of tlie secret police, while on duty, shot and killed Werner Neumann, a Jewish clerk. Tlic official report expLiincd that the police officer shot in sclt-defe^^e, because the Jewish clerk had kicked him.
There are. however, signs of the Ber¬ lin iKipulation losing interest in the anti- Semitic campaign of Julius Streicher's Stuermer. It is the general opinion that as a show it lias failed. This, however, lias not relieved the tense atmosphere. The Voelkische Bcpbachter, Hitler's own organ, called, on the leaders of thc Schiitzstallcl (the Black Corps of the Storm Troops) to hold themselves in readiness for all eventualities. Rumors tbat a purge ia in tiie making and that outstanding leaders of the Steel Helmets will be the victims arc still curr«'nt.
Tlie rciily of tiie American Depart¬ ment of State in coimection with the' Bremen incident was hailed in the Ger¬ man press as a great victory, although tiie document as issued at Washington shifts 3 giKxl iiart of tiie blame to the officials of tiie sleanisbip line. In G«r- ivany, Iiowever, the Nazi jounialbts in¬ terpreted' the Washington note as an apology.
