'^ Just after daivn I got home from twenty pretty gruelling hours on the train. In a large middle-western city I had started the local, drive for the,Jew¬ ish National Fund, Everyone, especially my hosts, had been kiiid and; charming. The people had been deeply fired by pur great, liccd and purpose and had given gencroiisly. Various domestic, pleasures and duties filled the day of; my,return. At last, after dinner,, half-aslcep I took up the accumulated papers.;. On the front page of thc Jewish Morning Journal I saw these headlines: "Jews Suffer Hun¬ ger in Germany on. Account of the Hit- lerian. Boycott," I read and read. "One can witness scenes there bf Jewish wo¬ men and children collapsing in the streets from starvation." My throat contracted and the blood shot to. my .head. I put the paper down,. It seemed to me that^ tired as I was, I could bear no more. It would do no one any good; it would only impair my usefulness, modest'as it is, to thresh through "another sleepless night. I determined before going to bed to read something neutral and soothing. Something for ¦ a, quiet lipur.

NUREMBERG .(WNS) — The last vestiges of .the cmanciiration- which freed the, Jews from the ghetto disappeared in Germany when a cowed and submissive Reichstag unanimously voted a series of "Jew laws" which.brand the Jews of Ger- ma'ny as an inferior people and reduce them to a status of political, economic and social. slavery.', In the most sweep¬ ing anti-Semitic.measures adopted since the Nazi regime came into power two and a half years ago, the Reichstag, nieeting in, the capital of Jews-baiting, completely vindicated the violent .policy of Julius Streicher and the extremist wing of the party by bringing to realiza¬ tion virtually, the entire anti-Jewish phase pi the Nazi, party program. The new laws, which become effective January 1, provide"; (1) Marriages between Jews and German citizens are forbidden; (2) extra-marital relations between Jews, and Germans are prohibited; (3) Jews are not. permitted to employ in. their house-: holds.German servants under the age of '^5; (4) Jews are forbidden to fly the swastika, but hiay display the Zionist blue and white flag; (6). Jews are de¬ prived oi German citizenship which is to be accorded only to those of German blood, those maritally related to Germans or those who by their conduct earn the right to the honor of citizenship; (C) the swastika, which , General Goering Grilled the "anti-Jewish symbol of the world" is proclaimed as the sole and offi-, cial flag of the Reich.
These laws vvere announced in a brief but fiery speech which Hitler delivered before the Reichstag. . In the course bf bis address he plainly admitted that the Reichstag was called, to meet in,Nureni- bergbecaiuse "it is intimately connected" with the "Jew laws",.denounced the Birodsky decision^ and warned that if the 'new laws did not put, th6 Jews in their place othcl" measures would be "taken. "The insult to'the German flag, in: the United : States, for : which ,the United States apologized in dignified form, shows how far the international Jewish agitation has progressed," he said, "It is an illustration of the feeling of Jewry, eyien in an official capacity toward Ger- niany, and an effective.confirmation of the

correction of our National Socialist legr islation which from the begitinirig aims at preventing once for all similar inci¬ dents. Should there be necessary, how¬ ever, further emphasis of this in our con¬ ception; then it is amply explained by thc renewed boycott of Jews starting against Germany. The German people have ber come impatient because German Jewry, encouraged by international propaganda, believed it could, stage similar protests in Germany.  .
This international unrest .in the world,, unfortunately seems to have a>vakened a. conception among Jewry in Germany that now perhaps the time has come to coi^- front Jewish interests .with Gernian na¬ tional interests. Serious complaints have been launched from numerous sides about the. provoking behavior of individual members of, this case, So in the remark¬ able increase of and conforriiity in the complaints a certain plan of action be¬ came apparent. .This conduct climaxed demonstratibns-which occurred in a Ber-; iin movie house against a harmless', foreign, film through which, .however, : Jewish : circles believed themselves' hurt. In order to reach an amiqable relation: ', between.the German people arid;tlie Jews,, thc gbvernment Will, try to bring about legal regulation. The law, wliich will be-read by, Goering, constitutes, howrever, oiily an attempt at legal.regulation. How¬ ever," should, this not work we wiir have , to take it up orice again. If Jewish agi¬ tation;, with in arid without Germany con¬ tinues we will "then examine the situation again'. ¦ ,   ¦ ¦-'' ;' "-,¦',,'.--..'..   ,
"Now I propose to the Reichstag the acceptance'of the laws which party com¬ rade  and   Reichstag   Presidcht, Goering: .will read, to yoiU.: .The first aiid second . laws bear a vote of gratitude to the gov¬ ernment  under   symbol : of -which   Ger^ many, regained her freedom, in that it ful¬ fills an important point of the program : of the National Socialist party.   The sec¬ ond is an attempt at .the legal regulation of.a problem, which if it fails, niust be . turned oyer to the Nazi party for final solution.    The National  So.C'alist party, arid witii it the. German natioriy istands , behind all three laws, . I .request you en¬ dorse these laws,"
Roger Babson Warns American Jews to Slow Up Commercial Activities
: NEW YORK (WNS)"A warning to the Jevys of America to;slow down the pace of their commercial activity because "it is often far wiser .to drop out of a picture temporarily than to stir up un- nccessary.animosity" is sounded by Roger Babson, nationally known economist and financial adviser^ in a special letter mailed out to his clients on August 26th, Ad¬ mitting that his editorial board had urged him not to publisti his. letter because ."it iTiight sti,r up a hornets'-nest among our Jewish clients" arid "n>ight cost us: sub¬ scriptions" although "personally webeliev.e in everything you have said," Mr. Babson prefaces his letter with a denial of in¬ tolerance, a review of ..the discussion at thc recent Williamstown Institute of Human Relations and tx denunciation, of the treatment of Jews in. Germany as "in- hufnan, unjust and, certainly urichristian" if "these reports are true."   .
He then goes on to say that "fear and hate remain great underlying forces" that "in a few months a demagogue can de¬ stroy what constructive statesmen have been years in creating," that "movements against a race are contagious" and that although he has "enough confidence'in the character of the American nation to feel sure it is civilized" it is "not beyond imagination to picture some cheap politi¬ cian popping up and trying to arouse the rabble *to throw the Jews out of Amer¬ ica'." Emphasizing that "it is important for members of every race to deliberately guard against what mighty arouse, ani¬ mosities" arid praising "the energy, in^ ' gcnuity and perseverance . of tfie He¬ brews", and their "Willingness to work harder and make greater sacrifices," Mr. Babson asserts that "there are iridividuals of your race—and of my, own, the Yan- Ikees^wlio have resorted to sharp and unfair business practices, which the real body of our peoples do not approve. Was it not the dishonesty and hoggishness pi I a small minority of the Jews in Germany
that gave ^'our foes a handle for attack , ahd brougiit persecution to so mkny of your race?"   ¦
.   Warning that "any group which is suc-r cessfui ultimately becomes  a target for persecution'' and that "the same reaction,, from which the banks and utilities are now suffering could;be switched against the  Jews,"   Mr.   Babson. said,   "I   hope, therefore, that the ovetwhelriiing numbers of you who stand for what is right and , best will make a resolute effort.to over- . cpme anything that,might footer animosi-  1 ties.   Anybody .is giving you bad, advice who says that true power is. got,by fur¬ ther 'edging in' on Wall Street or Main Street or even in Washington, until the" world once niore comes to its senses..^ ¦ It is" often wiser, far wiser to drop-out of a picture temporarily rather than to stir * up unnecessary animosity. True power is not got by buying up real estate, corpora¬ tions and organizations. In aiiy social up¬ heaval, showy possessions are liabilities rather than assets.   There are times when a.cyclone cellar is safer than a castlel' The real protection is not high-sounding office and financial pomp.    It is good¬ will,   'Better have grass grow under your feet than have it grow over,your head/". The letter is concluded with an appeat to "concentrate on developing better hu¬ man, relations between ourselves and our fellow  citizens"   and  to   "back  Up   the! spirit  and  ideals  typified  by this  Wil-. liamstown confereuce,"
