Priest Hits Feeling Of Sympathy For Jewish Persecuted
NAZTI STUFF
If Hitler's radical advLsere, to wliom he lias been listening of late, succeed in persuading liim to embarlt on a •\var, you can bel your last .shirt that there'll be a civil uprising against tho Nazis in Germany . . . Naziland may have an effective air force, but it's having its troubles in tlio "war of the air ivave-s ... Not only is the ambulant German anti- Fa.scist broadcasting station man¬ aging to penetrate into German radio sets at frequent intervals, but Gei-man-language short-wave broadcasts from the U. S. also are enabling tho Germans to hear thing.s Hitler -would like to keep from their ear.^ ... In his efforts to reinstate himself Dr. Goebbels Is readying ritual murder propa¬ ganda . . . The Gestapo^got hold of a photo of a mohel preparing to perform his function—the boy was the child of a photographer, 'vvho couldn't resist the tempta¬ tion of making permanent record of his son's birth—and the pic ture is now being published in the Reich ¦with captions designed to arouse another "spontaneous outburst of popular indignation" . . . German factory -workers are ., thinking back -with longing to their old Jewish bosses, nov/ re¬ placed by Aryans . . . Jewish 'bosses weren't allowed to lowpr wages even. IC business turned -^ISE, 3'rtif 'iib'^^'Bilch '"festri'ctiqns hamper the new Nazi owners .,. The stoiy about Schmeling hav- .ing become persona non grata in Naziland is just a super-public¬ ity stunt to prepare the way for Max's return to tho American Ting and to break the boycott against him. FOREIGN FI<ASH£S
Nothing worth while will re¬ sult' from the negotiations be¬ tween the Nazi higher-ups and tho spolce.smcn for the refugees ... It seems that Hitler doesn't really want to get vid of the Jews ... He needs them for strategic diplomatic reversal stunts ... It was very noble of the Countess Haugxvitz-Rovent- low (Barbara Hutton to you) to donato a thousand pounds to the British fund for retugees from Naziland, but we'd like it oven bettor if she'd arrange to have the 'W^oolworth chain, source ot her millions, cancel their con¬ tracts wilh manufacturers in totalitarian states . . . Scandi¬ navian business firms are up in arms against the attempts on the ¦part ot nosey Nazis to gather de¬ tailed information on their bank accounts and racial background . . . Every movie star has a double or so, but Magda Lupescu of Rumania is credited with no less than a dozen, whom she -uses to throw her political enemies oft tlie scent . . . But it must be rather inconvenient for King Carol to see all those red- 'heads floating around. YOF SHOIJIjP know

Coughlin said that "sane Americans will not subscribe to a proposition ot hurtling this na¬ tion into v«ir for the internal, religious or racial difficulties extant in another nation." Tlie priest remarked that such Americans "are generous with their sympathies for the perse¬ cuted wherev^er they exist. They aro opposed to any policy design¬ ed to create a world war for the sake of revenging the ill treat¬ ment meted out to any Jew or group of .Tews resident in Ger¬ many or elsewhere, as long as tliose Jews or groups of .lews aro not American citizens or na¬ tionals," he added.
About 500 persona piclccted offices of WMCA to express their disapproval ot the radio sta¬ tion's refusal to broadcast the addresses of Coughlin.

of jQWieh otfortB' on behalf of Palestine and "a reconsercration to the program of upbuilding Palestine."

In con¬ sequence Monsky said, the Jew, "as the victim of totalitarian out¬ rages occupies an heroic role in the present crisis which con¬ fronts our civilization."

NEW YORK (WNS)—.A plea tor tho strengthening of Jewish religious Institutions in America as the best an.'iwer to the false racial theories propagated in Germany and Italy was made by Dr. Cyrus Adler of Philadelphia in his presidential message before the thirty-second annual meeting ot the American .Tewish Com¬ mittee. Representatives of over 300 communities throughout the country, affiliated with tho American Jewish Committee, also heai-d tho annual report of the Executive Committee presented by Morris D. Waldman, secretary. The annual report, prepared by the American Jewish Committee, reaffirmed its strong adherence to the principles of American democracy, and in part .said:
"In the united struggle of all men tor tho preservation of the principles ot democracy, some problems aro sometimes lost sight of in the larger problems ot society as a whole. Our efforts to better tho situation of Jews abroad and to foster better understanding at home have not been from a narrow sectarian view point. We have been moved by a deep faith in the sacredncss of human personality, symboliz¬ ed and fostered by our religion; indeed by all religion. We have vigorously supported the basic principles ot American democ¬ racy—freedom of thought and speech and freedom of con¬ science." Referring to those who persist in reiterating the "false charge, borrowed from the Nazi propagandists, of a link betweeii Jews and Communism," tho re-- port said: "Your Committee, along with other responsible Jewish   esaatii'iaiiimg—A?.A-

Miss Dorothy Thompson was honored at a dinner arranged by the American Committee for Chris¬ tian German retugees. AU faiths were represented' in the gather¬ ing of nearly 2,000 prsons. Miss Thompson, in acknowledgment, said her efforts on behalf ot the refugees had been motivated by a "sheer instinct of self-preserva¬ tion." She said it was impossible to live fully today without being clear in one's mind about what really matters. "First and fore-, most among those things," said Miss Thompson, "is the privilege of every human being to make out of himself as much as he possibly can. I conceive that con¬ ception to be tho basis of all democracy and all freedom." ., Most of the .$15,000 raised for the American Christian Commit¬ tee for Refugees, came from Jews. Dr. Guy Shipler, editor of the Churchman, wiio read the names ot donors and amounts, paused at one point to ask: "Where are  the Christians?"
