Minority Should Look To Majority
When Assailed Says Mrs. Roosevelt
BEHIND THE NEWS
Bespite the seeming calm in Washington Uncle Sam is plenty worried over tho establishment of a Fascist Stato in Brazil. . . The Stato Department has its fingers crossed against the thought that other Latin-American republics may follow that oxample. . . And just for record's soke it ought to bo noted that all bnt ive of twen¬ ty Latin-American countries nre complete    or    quasi-dictatorships
• •. Ono of tho strango paradoxes of th© Brazilian Fascist set-up ip that Dictator Getulio Vergas has long been a personal ?nemy of Plinio Salgado, fuehrer of the onti- Semitic Fascist Integriliata Parly . . . Vargas has openly supported the Italian Fascists in Brazil, but has turned a cold shoulder on the Nazi propagandists who aro finan¬ cing Salgado. . . As a resiill ol tho Brazilian coup all American diplomatic officials in Latin Amer¬ ica are reported to have been given orders to make ^n immediate sur¬ vey of the extent o£ Nazi and Fos- cisfc activities in the countries to which' they ate accredited. . . To counteract Fascist sentiment south of the Eio Grando Uncle Sani vfill fioon launch hia own radio station, to make direct Spanish and Portu- gueao broadcasts to latin America . 1. . This by way of a «ounter-at~ traction to the pro-Fascist and pro- Nazi programs heard in South and Central America from Rome and Berlin. , ,
WHAT HAPPENS HEBE
Wo have seen evidence which leads us to believe thot Baron Monfred von KiJUngcr, Nazi con¬ sul-general in San Francisco, not
, only is tho chief of Nazi propa¬ ganda on the Pacific Coast, but pulls the -wires that control Nazi doings in Mexico and Canada. . . Killinger, we are informed, won tho Pacific Coast job on the strength of his "achievement" as a jaeraber of tho co^irt that imposed the death sentence on, Holmuth Hirach, the naturalized Awerioaii
;." Jovt whoift the i>r<Wia beheaded ja •Tune. ,. Any day now tho Con- gtessional Record will publish a list of a hundred names of pro- .lilazi agents on the Pacific Coast finked to Kjllinger. . . And in consequence, of thia expose the State Department may able for hie recall. . . Tho activities of Colonel Edwin Emeraon, paid -wiitcr for the Nazis and Washington corres¬ pondent of'the Voelltischa Boe- bacl. er, wU be exposed within the next thirty days. . . That so-collcd National League Against Com¬ munism, with headquarters at 113 West 67th Street, New Yorli;, and 936 Market Street, San Francisco, Is merely a cloak for tho anti-Se¬ mitic ahcnanigana of Pelley's Sil¬ ver Shirts. . .Ditto for tho Anti-
• Communist League headed ' by Colonel Smythe. . . Who is it that permits Nazis to run their affairs on U. S. Eovemmcnt property?  Last week Fritz Kuhn ad¬ dressed a raoetlng of the anti-Se¬ mitic White EuBsians on board the V, S. S. Hlinois, a governraeni. training ship anchored in the Hud¬ son River off 7Sth Street. , . And on December igth the German-Am¬ erican Confetence will stage o ba¬ zaar in New York's 71st Regiment Armory, which belongs to the Em¬ pire State. . . Our report last week that Oswald Garrison Villard Would apeak before and after Fritz Kuhn on a New York radio stotion in order to denounce him was slightly premature. , , Villard was invited to speak, but refused, say¬ ing ha'd rather "tntroduca a rattle¬ snake", . . So Kuhn  didn't speak

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS— ' "I should bo very sorry if any minority did not have the right to look confidently to tho majority at all times for complete juntico whenever it is assailed."
This was one of the ringing li¬ beral statements made hy Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt in an inter¬ view granted to Edward E, Gruad, Managing Bdiloc of tho B'nai B'rith Magazine. The interview tiok piece in Champaign, 111., where The Firat Lady of the Land waa the initial speaker at a series of open forum' lectures sponsored by the B'nai B'rith Hillcl Foundation at the Univeraity of Illinois.
Mrs. Roosevelt, in the interview, which will appear in full in the forthcoming December issue of the B'nai B'rith Magazine, approved of tho principle whSreby each minor¬ ity in the country is allowed peace¬ fully to cultivate and develop its own peculiar traits and genius while lomaining an integral part of the nation ns a whole. She took a firm stand in favor of peace, not based on isolation, but "in con¬
junction wilh others." Concerning di.scriminalion against Jews and all otlicr minorities, ahe said.
''The Amoricnn people an a whole do not entertain such prejudices. It ia only a minoiity that does. We Iiave much less of that kind of prejudice lioro tlian exiata else¬ where in tho world. My ad i ice to minority groups that suffer from it is to ignoie, ao far as possible, tho minority who practice it. Of course, we must havo education —a great deal of it:—against such un-American practices. But no minority should allow itself lo be¬ come embittered by them. It .should not withdraw unto itself be¬ cause of them. That does not im¬ prove conditions. Of course, I ad¬ mit that for a minority group to glow embittered and to witlidraw itself is the natural fil'iit' reaction. But it Should not yield to that first im()ulsc. It should hold its head high with pride, and rotnin a normal attitude of good will to all other groups. Ib should remem¬ ber that, afier all, its detractors form only a small minority."
.HACKENSACK. -N. J. (WNS)— An obiter dictim which may have a far-reaching effect if it becomes a precedi3nt was handed down by Common Pleas Judge J. Wallace Lcyden when he told 124 newly naturalized.citizens in Beilin Coun¬ ty Naturalization Court that in his opinion mcmbersbip in the pro- Nazi German-American Bund was suHicient ground for denying citi¬ zenship. He made this statement when he learned that 15 German applicants  were  atnons  the  new
citizens, all of tl^e Germans specifically denied bcins members of the Bund and disavowed Nazi sympathies. Judge Lcyden said, *'you can't be both an American and a German. You must be either one or the other. I con¬ sider membership in the German- American Bund sufficient grounds for denying' citizenship. It seems obvious that a person believing in dictatorships cannot, also believe in ths American form of govern¬ ment." „

Dr, Prinz, who lives at « Preston Road, Great Neck, Long Island, occupied the principal pul¬ pit in Berlin before he left Ger¬ many after the Gestapo had made it clear his departure would be welcome because of the agressive manner in which he defended Jew¬ ish interests in the Reich.'

"Wigllmare of Fear"
Says
Mazi Jisdge Hkls Ai New Laws to Elmpate Jem Freai Trafe'' ""
BERLIN (WNS)—A broad hint that the, long-rumored—thua far postponed economic measures ag¬ ainst German Jows in trade and in¬ dustry may be enacted in 19J8 was given by a Nazi judge in a Berlin comb who was called upon to rule in a suit brought by a Jew against non-Jews for violation of a busin¬ ess contract. The judge declared that Jews arc still permitted to earn a living in Germany but pre¬ dicted that in 1938 thoy will bo completely eliminated from Ger¬ man economy.
Meanwhile, the Reichsbank re¬ vealed that a new agreement has beep made with Jewish organiza¬ tions to permit German Jewish emigrants going to countries othor than Palestine to export a limited portion of their capital. Hitherto, only German Jews bound for Pal¬ estine had been able to take their capital along' through o spe'cial transfer agreement. The new arrangement permits Jewish emi¬ grants to tako a maximum of 00,000 marks ($20,000). Of thia sum 10 percent may be taken in cash and 30 percent is to be paid to them over a long period of yeara. The balance ia allocated to emigrant taxca and other govern¬ ment levies.

Dorlvost night still reigns over the major pnrtions of those human beings l^hom wo Salute as brethren for whom wc have a responsibility.

Every fec-^ ble lio and imbelievable injustice that the world has vomited out of its mpafc pervcisQ sickncaa against the Jew ia now being spewed forth again by the labblc and by tho rabble leadeit. Nobody knows when we shall be freed from th&ie things in any land, bul all of us Icnow aa long as our people suffer from them it is our duty to sustain Iheir morals by helping meet their physical needs. I can only say that theJointCistribution Commit¬ tee is by no means ready, to stop, the J. D. C. is by all means comit- ted to find more means to carry out its work of relief and recon¬ struction in European landa be¬ cause it is facing more difTicultles. We in the J. D. C. need more money. We need raore.men. We need more sympathy."

But I am certain'that if wo Jews cling to our faith and practice, leading honorable lives, helping our fellow- men, whoever they may. be, irre¬ spective of race, color or creed, We will again triumph over our enem¬ ies aa Moses did in' times gone by. We have only one anawer to Hitler, and tliat is our self-respect, our love of God and man. We aro not a military people and we cannot answer our enemy with giins even if we could. But with such an attitude we shall survive, as we have in the past, long after o«r persecutors have been forgot¬ ten." ,

RABBI ZELIZEK'8 SERMON
Rabbi Nathan Zelizer will speak at the Eaat Broad street Friday, December 3, at 8 p. »i. on the 'theme—"Our Own God", a Chanu¬ kah, sermonj Cantor Eugene Got¬ tesman will sing.. All are invited to attend.
promicnt Catholic clergy and laity, many of whom also remain anony¬ moua, tho 3S-pagc pamphlet has " received ths approval of noted Catholic religious and political leaders in various countries, in¬ cluding the United States. Chair¬ man of the national attitudes com¬ mittee is Dr. Carlton J. Hi Hayes, tho noted historian.
Most of the pamphlet is devot¬ ed to an analysis of the tradition- :\l Catholic attitude toward Jews, the Jewish religion, racial anti- Semitism, Jewry's rejcctio;i of. Jesus, etc. In a concluding chap¬ ter, entitled the "Duties of Chris¬ tians," tho pamphlet declares from Ita exposition of tho Jewiah prob¬ lem, "one may readily deduce that it is the boundon duty of every Christian today to expose, whcrc- fever and whopever thia may bo necessary, all the errors inherent in thi^ practical side of the con¬ temporary Jowiah question. It ia likewise necessary to deny one's support to an^ anti-Semitic policy and, where the possession of po¬ litical influence maTces this pos¬ sible, to combat all ant-Semilie moves. Whilo it is necessary to introduce measures for. the pur¬ pose of economic recovery, for tho reconstruction of the social order, fop the Christianization of our in¬ tellectual and cutural life, experi¬ ence has shoivn that 'legislating against the Jews* does not in tho least contribute toward the attain¬ ment of those ends. On the con¬ trary, by ostracizing tho Jews, incalculable damage, temporally and spiritually, is done to tho na¬ tion. Such laws are enacted only for the soke- ot providing a scapegoat 'Ad to^unite the people against an allegedly common foo instead of striving for positivo aima. 'This applies to all riationa ^yliich'-lesisl.'ite pgainst Jews.and. so-called 'non-Aryans.'],As ciu'is- liana we must exert ourselves to the utmost in order to dispel tho prevalent poisonous atmosphere of falsehood and hate. Wherever Iho tile Christian himself ia deprived of his rights nnd ia without political intlucncc, he should assist in in¬ dividual cases, c5peci|illy and pri¬ marily the Christian non-Aryans who wander through the world to- day a homelcaa 'people. These ahonlJ be helped by the dreation ol possible aettlements, by tho es- tablislimcnt of a world-wide em¬ ployment service and similar prac¬ tical meaaurea. To theso wo ore first obliged to ahow consideration, because they are our brothers and sisters in the' spirit and in tho faith; it ia they who hove suffered moat of all from the current anti- Jc\viah legialation in Germany.
If in this pamphlet we raise our voice against the .errors in vogue today regarding the Jewish ques¬ tion as a myatery of'faith, we do ao because these errors ultimotely, threaten the lifo ot our faith, and also on occount of the un-Christian. hatred prevalent in public life, where inatead ot the deaired order enviaioned by tho Paalmist; 'Jus- tico and Pcaca have Iriaaed,' wa have today an unhappy 'friend-foe- relation' which constantly demands a new object of its hatred as soon as ona 'foe' has been disposed of; in this way it tries to perpetuate its war. . We protest, further, against the ostracism of thq Jews ond tho special measorea againat them whicji arp alao directed ¦ ngainat all of us, because tbey are neither protective nor justifloblo defensive mcaiiurcs; they ate aim¬ ed only at dcfanfiiition and destruc¬ tion. Wa roiao ou.r voice in protes,t againat all this, although there may still bo soma who will soy that, white tha Jews may now suf¬ fer unjustly thoy have no right to expect us Christians to defend them, since they were silent when the persecutions in Mexico and Russia were at their height, and that, with few exceptions, they are still ailent today and will probably continue to be ailent. This may be disputed; but even if it were true, it offers no reason why we should (le guilty ot tbo aamo boycott of silence ot which Pope Pius XI complained with jus¬ tified bitterness. Do not Truth and Justice deserve to^be championed st all times? yor this reason we havo conteased and teatifled. On thia question todoy, every^ Chria- tian ahould also contcas and tes¬ tify out of obedience to tha Word of God." '
