NEW YORK:—"Christianity is Iiound to suffer if Germany should be permitted to regain control over the former col onies," said Captain G. Egerton Harriman, Executive Secretary of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League, 20 West 47th St. "This statement is issued as a result of the recent meeting of the Nazi Colonial Policy Congress held in Vienna tor the purpose ot discussing the .stand of the Third Reich in regard to project¬ ed plans for missionary activi¬ ties in the event Germany's colonies should be returned," continued Captain Harriman.
Professor Rodonwaldt ot Heidelberg University is quoted as having said at the Congress, "The bringing of Christianity to the heathen of Africa and Asja means a fatal breach be¬ tween him and his traditions. An attempt to establish a na¬ tive Episcopate and clergy must be sharply condemned in the National Socialist theory ot race."
Professor Rodenwaldt further stated that as soon as the Third Reich regains control ot her colonies she will prohibit Christian Misalonarics' activi¬ ties and demand unconditional protection for the heathen tra¬ ditions and customs such as licensed traffic in women, po lygamy, and the assignment of female children to prospective husbands at birth.

Epstein, Mrs. David de Sola Pool and Miss Juliet Benjamin of New York. Morris Margulies, Secretaty ot the Zionist Organization, is Secretary of the Steering Com¬ mittee.
Dr. Goldman injected the first issue into the meeting when he urged that the Zionist Execu¬ tive to be elected by tho Con¬ gress be composed ot members chosen on the ba,sis ot their personal merit and not as part of party representation. It was the view of the American Zion¬ ist leader that the critical slLua- tion facing Palestine demanded tlie best men the Zionist move¬ ment could produce without the handicap of having to sat¬ isfy party demands and inter¬ ests.
Support- for Ihi.^ view was voiced by Dr. Abba Hillei Silver of Cleveland, while opposition was expressed by Jacob Fish¬ man of New York, who felt that unity in Zionist ranks was a primary requisite at this time and that a disturbance of tho system that has prevailejl for
manj' years in llie post would not 1)0 wise. He also felt that each parly was at tlie present time offering the best candi¬ dates it could malce available.

TORONTO (WNS).—Alderman Stewart Smith charged Belgian Baron Ampin with dissemina¬ ting anti-Semitism in St, Agathe, Quebec, and that "the latest manifestations of anti-Semitism are directly caused by Hitler hirelings who play on local pre¬ judice to raise high the antl- Canadiah flame of racism and hatred." In a speech to his constituents following hia nom¬ ination, Alderman Smith said that the anti-Jewish demonstra¬ tions in St. Agathe recently can be attributed to the activities of the Baron Ampin. "This for¬ eign fascist," said Smith, "oper¬ ates Nazi propaganda from tlie Domaine D'Esterel and under his influence local pro-Nazis and anti-Semites are attempting to force Jewish residents to sell their holdings for ridiculously smalt amounts." Alderman Smith concluded that "It is essential for the well-being of the whole Canadian people that the Dominion government im¬ mediately Investigate this rat- hole of Intrigue \vhich goes un¬ der the name^ of the Domaine D'Esterel, as well as the charge that Werner Haag is the im¬ porter of racial strife In the Laurentiana."
