The purpose of the conference was to discuss what action to take in view of the an¬ nouncement that the German Gov¬ ernment has refused .point blank to negotiate with Mr. Rublee "he- cause Roosevelt's recent addresa contained severe attacks on the Reich." Tho refusal was conveyed to the oihicals of the Committee by the British Foreign Offlce which received the information from its Berlin embassy to which the Reich made known its decision.

¦yellow Badge Revived

VIENNA (WNS)—The yellow badge, ancient symbol of Jewish degradation, waa revived^ in Nazi Auatria when the Nazi district governoe'of tho province of Stoler- mark ordered all Jews, both men and women, to -wear a yellow badge on their clothing aa 'a mark of identllleatiou. By the same decree Jewish children -were ordered to wear three-pointed hats, 8"nothor ol4 ghetto syrab^

We cannot prevent our people from having an opinion in rcgatd to wanton brutality, in regard to un- dcmoerntio regimentation, i in re¬ gard to misery inflieted on help¬ less peoples, or in regard to viola¬ tions of accepted Individual rights All that nny government, consti¬ tuted as youra and mine, can pos¬ sibly undertake is to help make sure that tho facts aro known and fairly stated. No country where thought ia free can prevent ^very fireside and homo ¦within ita bord¬ ers from considering tho e'vidcnee for itself and rendering ita own verdict; and the sum total of these cenelusions of educated mei^ and women will, in the long run, he- come the national verdict."
NEW YORK (WNS)—"It is time for some American to rise and aay that if we really desire to defend democracy, the one posi¬ tive and practical way open to us Is not simply to take the lead in the immediate refugee problora, but, if neceaaary, to tak'^ it over," Anne O'Hare McCormick, member of the editorial staff of the New York Times, declared in a column in that papeV, Pointing out that "it is highly, unpopular even to. whisper in that fhe United'States —on its own terms, of course, and under conditions carefully fixed and rigorously carried out—could distribute over this continent all the citizens kicked out of Germany on racial grounds," Miss McCor¬ mick said "there are about half a million of them, Jews and Chris¬ tiana, and we have at least 10,- 000,000 of our own citizens on re¬ lief. Suppose they did not come empty-handed, aa they wouldn't, be¬ cause the German government is desperately anxious to trade with ua and could bo'forced to make a deal releasing funds for their resettlement. Suppose a great proportion brought special akills, training and talent that would en¬ rich the communities In which they settled. Suppose, aa has'actually happeiTed in Belgium, that the refu¬ gees started new businesses and gave more jobs than they took.
"Nevertheless, at the haSt, let¬ ting down the bars would mean a sacrifice. But public opinion in this country is heing prepared for greater sacrifices. Last week the President and the Secretary of Stato spoko tn terms widely inter¬ preted as aligning ua against the dictatorships if the teat comes. Daily we aro heing prepared for the incalculable aaerlficea and the oven more Incalculable results of another war for democracy. All tho refugees together would not cost the price of one major battle. They would not produce ths eco¬ nomic strain and dislocation of a weok of war. But that is not the main point. Nor is it that this continent could support'twice its population, that prosperous coun¬ tries are crowded countriea, that America flourished when it was absorbing a million imralgi'ants a year, 'fhe point, eloquently ar Eucd hy Dorothy Thompson, is that this ia a political problem, It is the occasion for a politicul demonstration. Why not turn the apotlight away from the Nazis and what they do to Germany and throw it on a free government rescuing Germans and vindicating its own racial structure'? All the words in tha vocabulary, all tho guns in the armament race will not defend democracy as safely, cheaply and Impressively as one spectacular gesture qf sacrliice on tho pait of a democratic people."

BEBUN (WNS) —In a bittee attack on Pope Pius for his oppo¬ sition to German ond Italian rac¬ ial theories, Julius Strcicher'a anti-> Jewish paper, Der Stuermer, as- eases the Pope of permitting him¬ self to be used as a "front" by worid Jewry. Entitled "The Popa Against the Divine Law," the ar¬ ticle states: "there are three funda¬ mental races, the ¦white, the yellow and the black. The Jewisb com¬ munity is the result of a mixture S(Ccomplished during centuries be¬ tween white, black and yellow men. In their efforts to conquer human!- ¦ ty tho Jewa have found open pro¬ tection in the Catholic Church. The Pope has adopted the false idea, propagated by Jews ¦with, the aid of Marxists and .Free Masons) of equality of races. But the at¬ titude of the Popo is not a sur¬ prize for thoae who know, tho final aims of 'Vatican policy."
