Congressman Warns Against Gentile- Jewish Rift
WASHIXOTON (.IPS) — Tho preaching of anti-Semitism, to set Chri.slinn against .lew in Am¬ erica i.s one of Ihe devices of Hitler agents in Ihis enuntry. it was a.s.serterl in the House by Congres.sman \Vij|i;ini H. Fiarry of Queens. New York.
"Whenever and wherever this malicious propaganda rears its ugly head we must fight it with the weapons of truth." the Con¬ gressman asserted. "We must re¬ mind the spreader.^ that .lews are conscripted for military service on an equal hasis with their fellow citizens of other races ond religions. We must remind them that .3e\vs have been prominent in American life since Colonial days and are not newcomers to the American .scene."
Mr. liarn,- wained against agents who would liltc to sepa¬ rate "the Gentilo'^ of America from their fellow American Jews hy a gulf of hate. The trend of this recent propaganda is to ere ate the impression in the minds of American Gentiles that the .Tews are not patriotic and are nol assuming their responsibili¬ ties for winning this war."

u6iai Hatreds and prejudices'Is one of the Fascists' favorite de¬ vices for dividing their foes, H. V. Kaltenborn, noted radio com¬ mentator and journalist, urged his nationwide Sunday afternoon radio audience to report to the federal Bureau of Investigation any persons who continue their anti-Semitic activities during time of war.
"Anti-Semitism is always un- American," Mr. Kaltenborn de¬ clared. Telling his listeners that after the first lull induced by America's entry into the war the subversive elements of our land were now again becoming more bold and open, he warned that any suspect utterances by per¬ sons who before Pearl Harbor in¬ dulged in anti-Jewish activities should be viewed with the ut¬ most gravity.
"Watch the anti-Semites," he stressed. "Report them if they try to spread their poison now." The Justice Department, he add¬ ed,.Is fully equipped to handle such Individuals, as evidenced by the recent arrests of such persons as William Dudley Pelley, perhaps the most prom¬ inent of this country's antl-Sem¬ ltlc pro-Nazis.
NKW VOHK fJPS) —Declar¬ ing that the United States' *' wa r a i ms" a re "hased on ou r concept of the just treatment of our follow man" and "on the freedom of the individual and the freedom from all things that deba.se him." John J. McCloy, Assistant Secretary of War, said that the spiritual heritage of Jews .serves as an inspiration for all men to fight for freedom.
Speaking over CBS on a spec¬ ial Pa.s.sovor program sponsor- e<l hy the Jewish Welfare Hoard. Mt. McCloy stated that "the story of the early oppress¬ ions of Jews is deep within the memories of all of us. When¬ ever men take courage to free them.selves from the darkness of oppresHion, almost uncon¬ sciously thoy draw deeply up¬ on lhc spiritual heritage of the .lews, as preserved in the Hlhle.
"*I am." he asserted, "talking to Jews, hut I do not talk to you as Jews, merely as Americans or seekers after freedom who happen to be Jews, There aro others of us who happen to be Protestants or Catholics, but the significance of this fight in which we are engjiged Is as significant as the founding of Ihe  country   itself,"
Other speakers included Dr. David de Sola Pool, Chairman of the Jewish Welfare Board's Anny and Navy Committee on ieUglPUS^:AGMYit]
