"We believe the republican form of government to be the most desirable for our nation and for countries of similarly democratic traditions.. .

Henry Ford, who recently at¬ tacked anti-Semitism and warn¬ ed anti-Jewish organizations against using his name in con¬ nection with anli-Semitic lilera¬ ture, Cameron said: "As to ra¬ cial emlly such as a few would excite against the Jew, there ,c^n be no two, opinions.

Vigorous as Mr. Cameron was in his attack on anti-Semitism, even more violent was the tong¬ ue-lashing which he bestowed up¬ on professional Jews "who pro¬ fessed to save their fellow-Jews from the Gentiles." Character¬ izing them as parasites who are responsible for keeping antagon isms alive, he urged that they

Ivreeyoh To Present "A Brivele Der Mamen"
IVEW VORK (.IPS)-Still tak- Ing pot-shots at the Roosevelt Administration and still defend¬ ing the anti-Semitic America First Committee of pre-Pearl Harbor days and Charles A. Lindbergh, who opposed the 'Admlnislration defense efforts and called the Jews responsi¬ ble for the war, the New Tork Daily News, former Isolation¬ ist tabloid, asked that Lindbergh .ind former America Firsters lie given better war jobs.
Under the title "How's Unity Doing?" the News, in an editor¬ ial in the February 15th issue, said: "Ex-Colonel Chas. A. Lind¬ bergh, most famous of the is¬ olationists in private life, of¬ fered his services. . . . Lind¬ bergh's offer, instead of being received enthusiastically and in a let-bygones-he-bygones man¬ ner, was top-loftily referred to Ihe Third Under-secretary to the As.sistant Secretary of War, or somebody, and our most em¬ inent flier and aviation expert was told he would have lo wait his turn, and eventually an ot)- scure civilian research job was to.s.sed   to  him."
Continuing  in  this  vein,   the
News    declared:      "Ex-America
Firsters   are  still   being   called
I^ort traitors at heart by assorted Ad-

The I'lews overlooked the In¬ expert preQlcUons ot Xilndberefh. on the present -^ar.anAJtbe tife^'' up of America First with Ns groups, gnd the fact that Lind¬ bergh had resigned his com- mlsison with the Americaii armed forfces in protest against President Roosevelt's actions In preparing the United States for war. He had also asserted that England, with United States aid could not possibly win against  German  might.
