WAR BULLETINS
An interesting sidelight on the Fascist front in the battle between the Hearst papers and the New York Post is this. 'The Hearst editorials are written by Benjamin De Casseres, the collateral de¬ scendant of Spino?a', and the Post edi¬ torials arc scribbled by a brilliant young Philadelphia Jew named Feinstein ..Be¬ lieve it or not, Hearst, because of his anti-Communist campaign, is enjoying the support of a lar^e portion of the J'ewish bourgeoisie, who are unwilling to admit that they are supporting the forces which will eventually turn against them . . . Rabbi Louis L Newman, trying once more to intimidate his rabbinical col¬ leagues because they endorsed the Pales¬ tine Labor movement, commented, in a recent' column—which most editors, dis¬ playing excellent judgment, threw in the wastebasket—that the Histadruth (Pales¬ tine Labor organization) is actually sponsoring May Ist celebrations in Pales¬ tine in which Jewish children participate ...'fhis, according to Newman, is the height of radicalism.. .And, incidentally. Rabbi Newman, Joe Erainih never held a Zionist job...The only connection be ever bad with the Zionist organization was when, seven >ears ago, for a period of a few nionths, he was the assistant editor of The New Palestine...

What is the debt tbe Jewish women of the present generation owe to the nc\t^ What are their duties as mothers, Jews and  .'\iiicricans?
At its Triciiiiial Coincntion to bo held in the Hotel Ronsevcit ,it Now Orleans March lOtb tn irith, the National Coun¬ cil of Jewish Women will attempt to <lcfiHc tho^e duties, imt so much for others to follow as for Its own mem¬ bership of over 10,000 women in the United States and Canada. At thc same lime, the Council is coniUicting a mem¬ bership campaign for those who wish to join its program.
The convention program has been planned with the further development of the Council's social service, welfare, legislative and educational program in view. Sounding thc keynote will be Prof. Kduard C. Lindeman of the New York School of Social Work, noted author and teacher, who will speak on "The World Today", at the opening session of tbe convention Sunday eve¬ ning, March 10th. On Tuesday thc convention will hear an address by Ilarry L. Lurie, director of the Nation¬ al Council of Jewish Federation and Wel fare Funds who will speak on "Economic Adjustments of the Jew". Leo W. SclnVarz, director of the New School of Jewish Education, will speak Wednesday on "Translating our Jew¬ ish Heritage". Winding up this phase of the program will be Dr. Abram L. Sachar, national director of the Hillel Foundations in American Universities. He will speak on "The Jew in the World Today".
In line with this part'of the program, there will also be a semhiar on racial relations conducted by the National Conference of Jews and Christians. The seminar has. been arranged by Dr. Ev¬ erett R. Clinchy, director of the Con¬ ference. Taking part in the seminar with Dr. Clinchy will be Rabbi Louis Bin- stock of Temple Sinai of New Orleans and Monsignor Peter M. H. Wynhoven. The seminar at the convention will be the culmination of a tour through sev eral southern cities to he made by the three clergymen, under the auspices of the two organisations.

The ieminar will be an informal meeting and discussion dealing with problems of common concern to Prot¬ estants, Catholics and Jews, and to aid in the promotion of good will 'among the mothers in American . community life. The threc speakers will take part as individuals who wish to work * for lnipro\emcnt in the community and not as representatives of any organizations. The discussion will be an occasion of study and exchange of experience, not for debate or for securing commitments to specific proposals. The chief purpose is to arrive at a common understanding of the cause of difficulty in racial rela¬ tions.

MORRIS LOPPER
Since February 28, the date when the Hilltop Building aud Loan Association -and The Franklin Savings and Loan As¬ sociation announced that the government had approved their preliminary applica¬ tions to convert into Federal Savings and Loan Asiiociation, "Federalization of Building and Loan Companies" ha.'s been the most important and most dis¬ cussed local subject. There is hardly a family in this community which is not vitally interested in local building antl loan companies The people of Colum¬ bus have more than sixty-five millions of dollars on deposit m the local liuilding and loan companies. '"
Although thg commnnity did not ex¬ pect any noticeable progress within the first week, we are pleasantly surprised to learn that the two local institutions are well on the way toward their goal.
In intiuiring of Morris Lopper, at¬ torney for the Hilltop Building & Loan Association, regarding this prog¬ ress, Mr. Lopper stated: "The effect of our announcement made February 28 was more satisfactory than we dared hope for, taking into consideration this is a new program, suggested at a time when there is a noticeable lack of confidence. Those depositors, whom we have con¬ tacted during the past week, are liappy. The result, is improved morale and in¬ creased confidence. We are happy to state that during the first six days fol¬ lowing our announcement 54% of our depositors mailed their consents and agreements to exchange the present cer¬ tificates of deposit for new accounts in the new proposed associations."
"I repeat what I stated to you last week,—that we expect to be open for normal building and loan activities im¬ mediately upon the receipt of our charter from Washington. When we announced that the conversion should be completed within 130 days, many persons expressed the thought that we had overestimated our proposal. However, we are pleased to announce that in our opinion, our con¬ version into Federal Saving and Loan Associations should be completed before the 60 days have expired."

Bl^RLINrWWSI—A ii(?w backfire in¬ tended tn cnnvlnce Ameriean commercial .itirl industrial interests that the anti- Na/i bojcott in the United States is allegedly doing as much damage to \mcrica as it Is tu Germany was startal here by Dr. Julius Lippert, Nari com¬ missioner for Berlin, with an address before a meeting of the' American Chamber of Cointnercc in Berlin in which hc denied that the Third Reich had crushed the Jews economically. In the firit olTicial plea against the boycott to American business men by a high Na¬ zi spokesman, Lippert urged that the boycott be called <ifT, and declared that it was based On "false assumptions" since the Jews were the equals of Ar¬ yans in the business world of the Third Reich. At the same time he admitted that the boycott had had a catastrophic effect on Germany's foreign trade.
That Lippcrt's appeal was just one . more piece of propaganda wa;? quickly apparent because bib- speech coincided with the publication of a warning to all Jewish publishers still doing business in Germany to dispose of their properties before they are ouste<l from the Reich •Association   of   Gfrrman   Publishers   of

.Attempting to defend the Nazi re¬ gime's anti-Semitic policy, Lippert ex¬ plained that ""what the National Socialist
state had to contend with was thc cir- cuntslance that certain Jewish elements h.ul striken for, and in some instances actually had attained, not only a position of economic privilege Irtit one of exercis¬ ing an influence upon our political and cultural life which was intolerable. To resist that was not only the right but thc duty of thc leadership of the German IHiople, but this need not afTect, the eco¬ nomic interests of the Jewish minority In Gerniany, insofar as those composing that minority show a willingness to rec¬ ogni/e certain cultural necessities and to manifest a corresponding sense of re¬ sponsibility."
He then went on to say that Germany "would gladly btiy American products now to fhe same amount as previously, if only we were given chance to pay for them in German merchandise. But this, unfortunately, is not possible in the de¬ gree that could be desired, because o'f consecjuences arising from a boycott movement, which is based upon complete¬ ly false assumptions an<l which arises from a whipping-up of untruths by a small American minority that has made its influence felt. Lippert added that the boycott had caused Germany to drop out as the Oest customer for American cotton ahd hinted that Americanf agriculture and industry would be further affected by a continuance of the boycott
New York (WNS)—Cables exposing thc falsity of the statements made by Dr. Julius Lippert, Nazi commissioner of IBerlin, who told the American Chamber of Commerce in Berlin that the boycott should be called off because it was hurt¬ ing American interests were sent to the Chamber of Commerce by the Non-Sec¬ tarian Anti-Nazi League and the Ameri¬ can Jewish Congress. The cable from thc Congress, denouncing Lippert's state¬ ments as mendacious and untrue, was read by Dr. Stephen S. Wise to an audi¬ ence of 2,000 women attending a recep¬ tion given by the Congress women's division to Dr. Albert Einstein. Mayor Fiorcllo H. LaGuafdia, who spoke at the reception, also referred to Lippert's speech which he said clearly discloses "thc type of mind now in control of the unhappy German ¦ people." The cable from the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League declared that the real reason that Ger¬ many is buying less from America is that Germany lacks the cash to buy. The cable also cited the warning to all Jew¬ ibh publishers to sell their businesses as refuting Lippert's assertion that nothing had happened to the German Jews eco¬ nomically.     '
