Jewish Student Body To Raise Refugee FundAtO.S.U.
TlERUN (WNS)—Docvees degijjncd to force Jewn in Germany into coTnplete economic nnnihllation Imd begun to * materinlize when Jcw.'i crowded banks to deposit stocks, bonds and other Bccurities. Germany >vn5 cautioned by the United States through itg embia&ay in Berlin that the,rights of American Citizens were to be fuUy protected against any infringement' through the Reich's anti-Semitic decrees, These decrees further dimmed pi-ogpecta of any Nazi cooperation in re- sottlemont of German Jews or of permitting thein to leave with suffi¬ cient funds to establish themselves elsewhere.
This lack of cooperation has gravely complicated the work of the Inter-Governmental committee working on the refugee, question in London. .It was understood that the British Embassy here had .also made known to the German goVeramont London's attitude on the pro¬ tection of Biitish interests.
Must Submit Prot»erty To Nazi "Trusteeship" The decree ordering coinpuhory sale of real estate and buainesg of American .lows as well as-those of German niationalifcy is. being applied in.direct contradiction to the terms of the, 1923 German-Amori-j can treaty which guarantees the right of property and of doing busi¬ ness to all American citizens in Germany, in return for similar guar¬ antees for Germans in th^ United. States.   As a    special. concession, therefore, American Jews in Germany are riot, being asked to turrt overto.a Nazi "trusteeship" their valuable securities or property. Ueich To Bolster Expurts Through Jewish Emigration Confirmed reports that the Nazi iGovemment has worked out a pj-pject to link the emigration of German Jews  from the Reich  with the drive to increase German exports, calls for the departure of all Jews -within two years.
Sounding out several governments on the program, which means to bolster Germany's financial. condition, the project calls for bilatei'al agreements to be negotiated with various countries prepared to accept Jqws as immigrants and fixed amounts of German goods in excess of those handled in current trade.
Jewji would be permitted to leave with a small part of their for¬ tunes in tho form of "goods coupons'* and would receive in ihe coun¬ try of destination a sum of money in the currency of that country in exchange for the coupons* Funds now being raised in various Iflndti £ot the relief of refugees might be used to finance the project. The plan is said to overcome the objections of foreign countries to receiving Jews who might become public charges but without-costing Germany any of her small fund of currency. It would also sei-ve to stimulate Germany's foreign trade.
Nazis Victorious in Memcl- flections MEMEL (WNS)—The local Jewish community numbering be¬ tween 5,000 and 6,000 have seen tho handwriting on the wall following ¦the Nazi election victory in this district and already . hundreds have emigrated. Those who remain'are arranging their affairs so that they tnny be able to leave on short notice.

BERLIN (W,NS)-~The only Jew¬ ish newspaper permitted in Berlin, Jucdischcs Nachrichtenblatt, (a news sheet of two pages) carried an urgent appeal, under the im¬ primatur of the Propaganda Min¬ istry, to the world In general and the United States in particular to "open the barriers" to Jewish emi¬ gration from Germany. Leo Krein- dler, editor dt the publication, said in his appeal: "In view of so many bitter' disappointments and the failure of so many autliorities In the world there must arise among the Jews in Germany a feeling, that the world is willing to ex tend to them a certain amount of pity,' but that tbis sympathy ends when practical solutions come into Qiiostlon." ,
*'We Imagine," the appeal says, that the' great colonial powers and the United States, could quick¬ ly provide Jews from Germany temporary refuge, be it.ever so primitive and that in the trans¬ plantation of temporary immi¬ grants to other lands an indeflnite occupation could occur, according to Individual atfltability,"
Germany will undoubtedly favqr such an enforced emigration if Such procedure will pay dividends but the government ia unwilling to release any Jewish possessions along with emigrants. The finan¬ cing of tho proposed eraigratton would, therefore, remain a burden on the outside World.

His appeal for German cooperation in holping refugcea emigrate hfta brought no response. The support of the Earl Baldwin Fund for the victims ol I'eligious   and   racial   pcraecutlon was urged as an imperative need for  immediate  aasistanc^by  the i Archbishop   of .Canterbury,- Lord I Rothschild, Clement R, Attlee and Sir Ala*U Anderson at a meeting representing all faiths. Lord Roths¬ child said that the use of the word *fmedieval"'to describe the tortures inflicted on the Jews in Germany was on insult to the past.

LONDON (W N S) —Limitation of Jewish immigration into /Pales¬ tine ia important^ to peace in the Holy Land was the view expressed in the House of Lords by Lord Harlech ^ who contended that the Jewish National Home had become egarded as a haven for people fleeing fi^om ^persecution. -Lord Harlech said he had hoped to see P' ¦'stine grow slowly and on sure IsSndations over a long period of time. ^

NEW YORK (WNS)—A Catholic and an Epiacopfllian prolate joined with high government officiala in a strenuous protest meeting against rcHgioua lind racial porsccutton in Nar.i Germany. The Citizens Rally Against Oppression, called by Mayor F; H. La Gufttdia was at¬ tended by four thousand people crowded into every inch of Carnegie Hall including all available space fol' standees,,while outside, in adriz- ".ling rain, an estimated 10,000 who had thronged the concert haU in fu-
tile eiFort to gain entrance, stood for hourB liatoning to tho proceedinffs being broadcast through loiid speakers. Others listened in to the tadjo broadcast. The meeeting took on added significance in that although its purpose was a protest in behalf of the Jews of Germany, not one Jew was present on the platform, and what issued fottli wns a con¬ certed voice of indignant Christianity towards the disintegration of modern civiliy-ation.
The. opening prayer, delivered by Bishop-Stephen J. Donahuft of the Roman Catholic Church, and the benediction, given "hy Bishop William T. Manning of the Protestant Episcopal Church, both asktSd tho help of Divine Providence in guiding the errant nations b^ck into the paths of brotherly love.
Mgr. Fulton J, Sheen of Catholic Univeraity, Washington, in a.btil'- liant utterance which moved the audience to rise out of their ae^ts. in apptouae, stressed the three-fold purpose of the mass meeting, sayins; that to he justified and reasonable it should be: 1^-sincere, 2-^Ameri-.
"Only those who

As Americans "we are no mors obligated, to choose between Fascism and Communism than between: larceny and burglniy."
Mayor La Guardia, chairman of tho meeting, in introducing thft fust speaker, Victor F. Uidder, publisher of the Now York Stnats-Zei- tung, expressed "noirow and sympathy with the vlctima ot oppression iA crntial Europe." The world today, the Mayor said, was protcstiTiff against a *'mental disease, determined not to permit that disease to spread or become chronic."
Mr. Kidder, long a leader among the Ger man-American citizenn, and one who, a» the Mayor described him, had been opposed to Hitler- ism from the beginning, said: "What this meeting needs lo do Ik t« make us aware of the dangers inherent in the situation in Germany, and the importance of our working together to prevent similar hap¬ penings in the United States."

William E- Dodd, former ambassador to Germany, in the key siate-
meat of the meeting, declared that the work done by   the   American

been responsible for the rise of Hitler and the conditions in Germany
today.

NEW YOKIC (WNS)—The Ca¬ tholic College Press Association, speaking for 17,000 Catholic college students recently adopted a reso¬ lution which says;
"In this tragic hour for tho Jew in Germany, Catholic students are impelled to express their deep anxiety over the rising tide of anti-Jewish feeling in the world. They hold that lanti-Semltism, re¬ peatedly denounced by the Pope as un-Christian and immoral, is also a ci'ime against true Ameri¬ canism and democracy.
It is impossible for Americans who believe in God and liberty to lemain Indiiferent to this surge of racial intolerance. Racism, the doctrine propagated by the tbtalist dictatois, attacks the dignity, the rights ^nd liberties of the indivi¬ dual man; it ia based upon, a scien¬ tific absurdity; it; denies .man's apiritual/nature.
