0. A. Denies Reich Exodus Plan Aims to Stimulate German Trade
NEW YORK (WNS)—While Ameri¬ can Jewry continued to be stirred by tbt^ London report of a plan for a mass exo¬ dus of Jews' from Germany .and the lifiuidatioii of their ,pruperty through a scheme allegedly involving Jewish li-i liancing of German exports, the exccu- tivc coiiimittee ot the Zionist Organiza¬ tion of Anierica categorically duiiied that there is a plan on. foot to flood the mar¬ kets, of the world with German-made goods as a iiicails of stimulating, the emi¬ gration of Jews from Gcrniaoy. Aftcf j coiiferring via transatlantic tcleplioiic with Simon Marks, one of the three Eng¬ lish Jews, coming to this country to dis¬ cuss thc reported plan, a sub-committee of the Z. O. A.'s. executive, cominittce; issued the denial over the signatures of Morris Rothenberg, president, Louis Lip¬ sky, honorary president, and Dr.'Stephen S..Wise.   . ¦'¦-    ¦¦¦..¦,¦¦
The statement reads:    '
"In connectioii with the report which appears iii tljis morEiing's New York Times regarding the approaching visit of, a (lelcgation of three British Jewish leaders, consisting of Lord Bearsted, Si¬ iiion Marks and Sir Herbert .Samuel, ivc are authorized by Mr. Marks to deny .categorically the accuracy, of the Report which states that a plan is contemplated whereby the emigration Of,.jews from Germany is to be stimulated tlirough a world-wide distribution of German-made goods, :     .
."Mr. Marks, in denying the report, slated that the purpose of the delegation is to hel^ in the raising of funds whereby the large-scale settlement of German Jews in Palestine may be facilitated. Hc added that.there was no basis what¬ ever for. attributing to tlie' delegation an intention to lauiich a scheme which would flood the world markets with the manu¬ factures, of ,tlie Reich.
"In behalf of.the Zionist prganlzatiqn of America we reiterate ,6ur conviiztion that the raising of, funds to. rescue the Gerinan Jewish population and to settle as niany of theih as may be possible; in Palestine is ¦ the, supreme - and imperative task before world Jewry today.
"It, is unthinkable, however, that Jews will .participate in any such scbeiric as has been reported in the press, under which German Jews are to be lield'aS hostages uritil they are ransomed .by Jew ish money to be used in stimulating Ger¬ man trade. ¦ .
"Any, proposal to>' solve ¦ the Jewish problerii in Germany must take into con-: sideration the recommendations' submitted last week by Mr. James G- • McDonald in his letter of resignation ¦ as High Commissioner for Refugees from Ger¬ many, in which he urged the solution of this problem, at Its source and that the League of Nations, as the representative of civilization, intercede with the Ger¬ man Government On behalf of thp "op¬ pressed Jews of Gerniany."
Notwithstanding the sensational nature (if reports cmat^ting from London and Berlin W'itb regard to, the proposed plan, it was recalled here that the liijuidation of the property of Jews leaving Ger¬ many has been discussed by the exjierts comniissioa of the League of Nations; It was pointed out here that the present plan is nothing new but rather an exag¬ gerated interpretation ,6f a proi>oscd in¬ ternational' bank for the liquidation of German Jewish property!

XKW YORK (WNS)—High praise iur Jiinics G. McDonald as the League. .ui Nations High Com missioner for Ger- nuui Refugees was voted at the 29th an¬ nual meeting of the Ariierican Jewish CommitU'c. ill a resolution to be com¬ municated to tlie League of Nations, ex¬ pressing tilt: hope that. the League, to whicll Mr. IFcDonaUl expressed his pica for interccsjsion to avert existing , and impending tragedies, wilt act in coiifor- iiiity with its priiicfplcs to call the Nazi govLTiimclit before the -bai: of interna¬ tional justice, Thc resolution Was moved by- former Supreme Court Justice Joseph M.

There may also be another reason for' the discarding nf the term' 'Aryans,' namely, that it liad been rcpndtntcd as a racial de.signatiirfi by the entire scien¬ tific world. ¦ In thi.'; connection it. is in-, teresting to note that according to tbe terms of the 'Law for the Preservation of Gerinan Blood and Gcrnian Honor,', marriage wil li ' Pei-sohs v f Gerinan or racially related bloqd' is forbidden Only to Jews, and not to Negroes, Asiatics, or; -American  Indians.
"The , likelihood of even more drastic irica.'iures by the Nazi regime," .the re- I.'oft pointed out, "was plainly slated by Herr Hitler in his address to thc Rcich-

McDonald's Resolution
The McDonald resolution reads as fol¬ lows: "Ori the occasion of his -resigna¬ tion fts High'Commissioner for Refugees (Jewish and other) coming from Ijcr- many, the American Jewish Committee extends to Mr. James G. 'McDonald its gratitude and; its appreciation for his. unstinted and courageous effort? 611. be¬ half of those ¦ thousands who have been forced to flee frohi oppression. ¦ Carry,- ing through his-sppointcd mission: under the most adverse conditions, Mr, Mc¬ Donald gave to the great task which he undertook a. wide experience in public affairs and a wholehearted desire to en¬ list the sympathies and the aid of the entire wbr^d in the, cause wliich .he so fa;itlifuny served. The Amcrlcari Jewish Cpriimittee expresses the hope that the League of Nations,', to;, which, Mr. AIc- Donald • addressed his strong and noble plea for i liter cession to 'avert existing and impending tragedies,' wiUactin con¬ formity, with its priiiciplcs to call the (German National Socialist Gavernnicnt before tiiE bar .of international justice."
The events in Germany occupied- tlic m.ijor part .of the executive committee's report which dreiv attentipn to.the threat of stillmore drastic measures against the Jews of Gerniany and pointed out.that while for foreign corisumption thc Nazis have, for the present, abandoned their pseudo-scientific race dogma as a justifi¬ cation for their assault upon the Jews, the. attacks have: in fact becoiiie intensi¬ fied, particularly since the passage of the Nuremberg decrees, depriving the Jews of ¦ citizenship. "The Nuremberg iaws," the .report declared, "no longer refer .i^ ;'Ap'au.s' and 'non-Aryans'—terms which were previously employed to give the Nazi- decrees an air of scicnliiic' make- believe,. Instead; the terms are 'persona bf German or racially related blood,' pn the one hand, and 'Jews' on the other, n'his change in nomenclature may be ex¬ plained by the fact tliat the Nazis found the distinction between 'Aryans' and 'lion-Aryans' offensive to the population tif   other  countries,   particularly  Japan^
Semitic agitators were exposed as cranks ; and racke'tecrs whose irresponsil>le incita- , tions made them the laughing-stock pf the deceiit-riiindedpeople of the country^. At the same time. the agitation -is cbn- tiniiing and in some sections of the coun-, try is thriving as a result of .unsettled ' economic and political conditiorisL   These: raovcmerits are  fostered by ' adventurers. with variod ino,tives, who seek'; to capi-~. tali2e discontent, for the promotion of pernicious   doctrines   directed   primarily against  the  Jews,   but  also against  the-; fundamental   principles   of   pur   diemoc- racy, ,   The   high   tension   prevailing   in ' some parts,of the country as a result of. existing economic  and   poh'tical   factors, ¦ the imminent election canipaign, and the continued .propaganda, of malicious ant*i- Jewish -libels, make it imperative that all liberal forces in .this country be on their guard more than ever the. forthcoming , year." '
Nazi propaganda in the United States wis described as having' suffered a de-' cline. The chief -factors in this tlecjtine . were given as: ",(1) the open opposilipn of. representatives of the decent andre- spectable German American elements in various parts- bf the country, which, in' one way or another, dissociated them¬ selves from the Nazi movement; (2), certain acts on the ijcii-t of the Nazi- leaders here which outrage public opin¬ ion, such as acts of vaiidalisrii against (Confitiued on page -l)   ''..
