(Special Cable to Ohio Jewish Chronicle)
ADDIS A3ABA (WNS)—Word re¬ ceived here that the holy city of Aksum, the, VJcrusalem of Ethiopia," had fallen before the Italian invadcts, created con¬ sternation because .-Vksuin is npt only the sacred city of Ethiopia but the reputed resting place of the Ark of the Covenant. According lo an ancient Ethiopian tradi¬ tion the "Ark of.the Covenant," which is revered here as the true Ark of the Cove¬ nant mentioned in^thc Old Testament, was brought to Aksum by Meiielik; the re¬ puted, son- of the Queen of Shcba and King Solomon, from' whom the royal faniily of Ethiopia traces its descent. Un- confirpied reports here state that the Ark, which Hs described as two feet high cov¬ ered 'with gold' aiid gems, may be carried into battle by the Ethiopian priests. There is also a story going the. rounds here that a group of wealthy French Jews is attempting to insure the Ark against pos.sibIc damage diiriug the war, Aksum .is also sacred to the Ethiopians for other reasons.

We all remember the wiseacres (maybe we. were 'amoiig them) ; who said that Mussolini coiild not last.. They said that it was top late, in history for dictators; they said, that the Italians were.in fact a liberty-loving people. Now it is 1935 and the portentous shadow of the Italian tyrant looms over Etirope. And there were otljers who said that the Soviets could not last. Today the U.;S. S. R.'is one of the most powerful and, apparently stable, states, in the world. Tourist parties go every summer from America and Western'Europe to take in Russia from Moscow to the Caucasus. .The tourists' arc not shown the remnants of the liqui¬ dated classes in labor camps, nor the re-, maiiiing /.'H/n/'j, who did riot perish, in the Ural wilds! No, things have away of. blowing over. Extermination works. The dead are silent; ^
By the same token the Nazi regime in Germany may last. ForeyCr? No. But we have nothing to do with forever. If .it lasts ten years more; if it .lasts, five years'more—that will be quite enough. For I repeat: extermination yvorks." The dead are'silent. But we'are apt to over¬ look a possibly more . dreadful truth: degradation degrades its objects and bate renders hateful. So it, is entirely can- ccivnhle that if the wars of the next few years are "localized," tourist parties from America and ^Western Europe will he conducted through the "new" Germany .as they arc now through the "new" Rus¬ sia arid these tourists will not see the thousands who have been tortured to death or the remaining concentration camps, and the children of the Clhristian liberals and democrats and pacifists who have been murdered will not look diffei*- ent from other children. to the tourist'^ eye. .¦"' ^' ' ¦ - .'
But what these tourists -through the 'new" Germany will see is an outcast- group, a pariah-groiip, a group of people more foqlly degraded than Negroes are in the "Jim Crow" sections oi'-JHr Sauth, people who slink through the street wine-

With the appeal of Brnno Hauptmann denied in the New Jersey coiirts, and thc various aiigles of the case being exploited in nation-wide periodicals, the Agudath Achim Guild will .present a. discussion oE^ the most timely and important topic of the present day. The speaker of tbe occajjibn'will be. Kciineth p. -Tooill, managing editor of the Ohio State Journal. Mr. Tooill was aii cye-\vitness of. the trial of Bruno Hauptmaiin,-covering the. event for his newspaper. ; His reports aiid. editorial comments wete recognized as one of-the best of all newsiJapcrmcn covering the case. It was only by dint of zealous effort and a desire to; give the Jewish .coni- irimiity the best in speaking entertain¬ ment that:.the Guild was able to obtain Mr: Tooill, viho will describe the trial frqni begiiming to end, with Observations, -on conspicuous sidelights. The meet|ng will be held in the newly remodeled so- cial hall of the synagogue. -

BERLIN (WNS)^Undcr the impetus of an openly expressed boast that .Ger-- many will be rid .of all her Jews within five years, a new campaign has. been started to niakc the economic liquidation of the Jews as complete as is their po¬ litical, 'pr<ifcssii)u;d and social; degrada¬ tion. : The kpyiKite of thc new. drive was sinmded by l'ri)f.' Mcinricli Hunkc, busi¬ ness manager of the Gernian A^v'ertisiillS, Council, hi the influential periodical."Ger¬ man Economy." Without niinciiig words ' Huiike declared ."we ijannot permit the existence of an ccnnoniic basis of power from which attempts niay.be made, to will influence ovci" the life of our people. Nobody can expect us as National So¬ cialists to buy from a Jew. nor can we acknowledge a Jew, as a leader of our enterprise. In olden times the first sym¬ bol of the victory of a people was the lilieration of its racial .comrades from alien, servitude. It is equally obvious that German men cannot acknowltdge a Jtw as their business chief. If, beyond that, the Jewish problem is acknowledged in the professions and not merely in the newspaper and film branches, for which cultural aims are decisive, then, the Jew¬ ish problem must be, acknowledged for all busiriess." ' '
This new but by no means unexpected development has caused panic-stricken^ Jewish business men to flood the news¬ papers with advertisements offering their , businesses and clienteles for sate at sacrl- . ficial prices. . Virtlially every paper. is: full of notices announcing the sale- of businesses because, of "special circum¬ stances," a euplionio.us phrase the mean-,^ ing of which .is kiiown to everyOnei Jews. who ¦ still manage to hold on to their/ establishments often find themselves ex¬ cluded from 'their operation and manage-; ment. In cases where Jews have been unable to dispose; of their property in Germany, tHey are offering to exchange^ them for property abroadp In thie smaller towns the situation is far worse than ui ', the urbjin areas.' ..Thousands of Jews are; actually .facing starvation- in the provin¬ cial ccriters because their, business is be¬ ing boycotted and Aryan shops refuse to; deal with. them. ¦
