''To Hell With the Boy¬ cott/' Says Head of Kress Stores
SEATTLEyWASH. (WNS)—"To Hell with Mr. .Untermycr's boycott," was the blunt comment of multi-mil¬ lionaire Claude 'W. Kress, head of 235 five-gn-ten-cent stores hearing his name, in an exclusive interview witH ^hc: Seattle .Jewish Transcript.' Asked why he, a Presbyterian elder and one who prays in'church on Sunday to the Prince of Peace, sells- German- made goods o'n, the other days of the week, which puts money in the hands of persecutors and war-makers in the Nazi regime, Mr. Kress said; "We handle merchandise the people ^ant. We take the stand that if they doh't like our hierchandise policy, they can stay out of our store." Reminded that his. New York stores were.re¬ cently picketed for handling German- goods; Mr. Kress declared, "Mr. Un- terincyer knows^our attitude. To Hell with his boycott. I^doh't like the man. I've received insulting, letters ¦ from him abdytythe boycbtt.^ But as'ldng a a Kress is. at the head o'f oiir stores we will carry. German goods.".
TRAVELING   RIGHTS CURBED   IN  GERMANY
BERLIN,(WNS)—While German Jewry is ¦ again betbming excedingly nervous' over recurrent reports pf new discriminatory legislation, the Nazis do not appear to be . in any hurry about announciung a new anti- Jewish decrees "because.. they afe achieving tlieir anti-Jpwish objectives through nevv administrative ordinances which arc less conspicuous but equally effective. The latest of t.hcse ordi¬ nances are those Curbing the right of jews to travel. Tliere have been many instances in which German Jews were foi-bidden to go to or through Austria. The new Austro-German pact, which was intended to boost travel to Aus¬ tria, applies only to Aryans. Restric¬ tions , regarding the return of Jews from foreign countries have also been tightened. Jewish:emigres miist spend a year in a special concentration camp immediately after their return and must leave the country after their re¬ lease. vOf late Jews seeking .to re¬ turn to Germany have encountered difficulties,; even when they are not emigres ; but, have only been tempo¬ rarily resident or in business abroad. Such Jews . require special perntits even for a temporary visit. Often they run the risk of arrtst. They also find that when their passports expire they are- renewed ..for only short terms.

When Assimilation Failed
Reflections on the Book of Esther
By BERNARD HELLER
Particularly timely because of the current discusaion of asaimila- tionism as a courae to be followed by American Jewry is this article hy tho director of the University of Micliigan Hillel Foundation, who sees in the Purim story an account of an attempt at assimilation.
—the Editor.
Whether the Book of Esther de¬ picts fact or fiction is a question on which biblical scholars arc divided. SdmC.believc it tb'be a tale with a purely imaginative setting; at best they characterize it as a historical rd-^ maiicc. Others aver that the book re¬ cords definite historical , happenings. Leaving aside the question of the actuality of the data presented in the book, however, I see it as, revealing psychological and.'sociological facts which in themselves are true. Between th'e lines pne cin detect tendencies of Jewish , behavior which history' has shown to be characteristic.
The Book of Esther' presents a pic¬ ture of the fate that befalls a Jewish group which deliberately veers its course to avoid Jewish identification. Before" the advent of Haman the Jews seem to have fared well in Persia. .There is no hint in the story of their being subjected t0:any discrimiiiatiori. Even after Haman came into power Jews were permitted to live in thc capital,. Shushari. iAhasuerus, though not very keen of J intellect, seems to have been a.tolerant monarch. Morde¬ cai "sat in the king's gate," the Bible tJells us—a phrase, usually identified with a judiciary institution and office. All in all, the indications are that the Jews enjoyed economic, civic, political and even social equality with the Per¬ sians. When the'I king's officers, are §cnt out to search.for a maiden to be-r come the queen they are not instructed to avdid the maidens of any particular group; when Esther is brought before Ah^sueriis he doesn't even inquire as to her race or religion.
How did the Jews of Persia de¬ mean themselves hi this attnosjpHere of -lH?ttk»»?v~Wi^'i'«ff6Ct^ did it have; upon their national, cultural and re¬ ligious, loyalty?
I see an answer' to this, qiiestion in the fact that.the name of God is,not mentioned even once in .the entire story,, a phenomenon that cannot; be duplicated in any other biblical book. The name of its outistanding Jew, Mordecai, is a derivative of, a Baby¬ lonia deity, Marduk. The heroine seems to have preferred to change her Jewish namci' Hadassah, to one linked to theSPersian goddess Astartie. Esther needed little persuasion to marry. Ahasuei^us, who not only was a non- Jew buf a weakling, a puppet in the hands of every ccfurtier who caught his fancy. The story 'does not even suggest that she entertained'any deep affection for Ahasuerus. Yet she be¬ came his consort, and, at the command of. Mordecai, deliberately hid her Jew-r ish origin.
The Midrash seems to confirm .this view of the Persian Jews of that time as assiTnilationists. One Rabbi informs us that Haman was sure of the suc¬ cess of his plan because he observed that.the Jews .were utterly indifferent to and neglectful of the dictates .of tiieir faith. Haman and Ahasuerus, the Rabbi. remarks, were conversant with Jewish history. Jehovah foils the plans of Israel's enemies only when Israel remains true to the Torah. This, they perceived, .was not the case with the Jews of Persia.
GOEBBELS SAYS ONLt
"MOSCOW AND JEWS"
WANT WAR
We must not be too harsh with the assimilationists of that and succeeding periods. True, many may have suc¬ cumbed to ignoble motives. Thc lure of position and power must have prompted many to give up the customs dear to their fathers. Many may have thoughtlessly allowed themselves to drift along with the cufrent. To others this may have' seemed the wise course to pursue; It is not difficult to imagine the Israelite of Shushan. ruminating on this question..'_
"We are now Hving in a land which grants us civic and political equality, he may have said to himself. "We are not restricted in, economic opportuni¬ ties. The cultural and social advan; tqges of Persian life have been made accessible to us as. to any other cit¬ izens. We must not Jeopardize the privilege by cleaving to the strange idea^-. and outlandish modes of oiir forefathers. We must not let ourselves appear as a people alien.in spirit and bizarre in mien; We must, above all, be cpnscious and proud of our Persian allegiance.. If we-must consider our¬ selves diflicrent and .distinctive let it be, purely in matters religious, the ex¬ pression of which it would be wise to restrict to special occasions and to a more or less attenuated form."  .-
Some individuals, indeed, may have gone further: "The millennial era has dawned in the blessed land of Pfirsia. Good, will prevails. Superstition is ,dn the wane. Shall we stigmatize the vast majority of our. fellow Persians as benighted heathens? .Do they-hot in¬ clude cultured and philosophically, minded people to whom the images are but visible symbols of eternal verities'? Ek) they^ not Conceive their cult and ritual- as pedagogic devices tomake vivid ideas that^are."cfieri^hed by all men? In such an age of progress and enlightenment is it not the height of folly and arrogance dn'the part of the Jews to remain exclusive and maintain that they,have a mission? Will not such an attitude and such affirmations tend to arouse.the ire of our Persian neighbors and endanger the liberties and.rights we prize so highly? bo we not by-such a course, imperil the very positions which we have, achieved in tlje economic, political, cultural and social life of the Empire?" . The invalidity of; this reasoning was revealed by a hot uncommon incident. A Jew, Mordecai; eminent in the po¬ litical life of Persia met an ambitious rival, Haman, who came of different racial stock,; The latter captured the fancy of his Weak and capricious.mon¬ arch, who elevated him to the highest post Within the gift of the king. Feel-, ing himself.insecure in the face of his Jewish—and perhaps more-^lcver-r-^an- tagonist, or prompted by the vain de¬ sire to command the obeisance of all, Hamari plotted for the destruction of not merely his rival, but of the entire group to which hebeldnged. The sup¬ posedly, liberal klng,aci:epted his cruel plan with astounding readiness. No scruple arose to halt his sanction. All memory of invaluable service which Mordecai had rendered even to the person of the king was completely for¬ gotten, - .

BERLIN (W.NS)—Only "Moscow and the Jews want war," Propaganda. Minister Goebbels told .20,000 cheer¬ ing Nazis here'in a speech in which he declared that Germany has nd desire for war and tliat other coun¬ tries fear to attack her. Thc Jews and Russia seek war, he said, be¬ cause "only through war could Europe become ' really ripe for Bolshevism." The Propaganda Minister also said that "Jews are not wise They are only clever if you think they arc. Wc do not know any decent Jews."
Anti-Semitic Agitation In
Alsace Brews Over New
School Law
PARIS <WNS)—A deliberate dis¬ tortion by the Catholic clergy of the new school law and tlie exploitation of the Catholic sentiment against this law by the Fascist Croix, de Feu have given rise to an alarming anti Semetic agitation in Alsace-Lorraine whichsome observers believe'may be come as serious as the agitation at the tfnie. of. the Dreyfus case. Pre^ mier Leon Blum is being made to bear the brunt of the attack which is led by Monsignpr Karl Ruch, Bishop of Strasbourg; An, Alsatian paper has called Blum a "Jew atheist" who is ; driving" "a slinking Jewish bargain.''' "Alsatian "Yjouth"' warns Bluni that "orthodox people will dp-- pose with the /fiercest, energy the snatching of the crucifix from.our school* by the hands of the atheist Jew . . . Blum, with numerous Jewish co-religioriaries and secretaries in his miniistry and administration, wants to strike a fina! blow, at orthodox Al¬ sace. But this attempt will fail: If Blum wants a fight he will have one." . The ..agitation is^ predicted dn decree raising. the^ school-leaving age in Alsacc-Lorrainb, where the cur¬ riculum includes four, hours of re- Hgioiis instruction'and -fdiir hjoiurs of. German .weekly, so. as to bring it in harmony with that in the rest of France. The decree provides, how¬ ever, that the , schobl-leavlng age, which is now 14, .may be. raised or else religious instruction dropped so as not to penalize school children in Alsace-Lorraine. The' choice given has been ignored .\in the agitation which seeks- to convey the impres¬ sion .that' the decree alms at elimina¬ tion  of religious  instruction.
