(leliherale pro-Axis sen¬ timents are spread all over the pages of dozens of pro-Axis pub¬ lications In the United States which are still being publish¬ ed despite the war, the New York Herald Tribune charges in an article signed hy John G.

in a factual expose of pro- Nazi newspapers in the United States, the Tribune reporter de- <-lares: "While proclaiming their Americanism and warmly em¬ bracing the principle of free speech and press, these maga¬ zines and news sheets grind out a steady lino of propaganda against Britain, Russia, the .lews, Communists, President Roo.sevelt, Wiaston Churchill, .members of the American Cab¬ inet and most other Washington war officials."

Rogers    asserts    that "perhaps the most influential of the  publications  is    Hoclal  .Ius. lire," which  "is    generally    be licvei!   to ha\'e a  circulation   of al)out    200.000    copies."

NEW VORK IWNSI —Senator Edwin C. .lohnson of (-oinrado characterized the recent sink¬ ing nf Ihe "Struma" with Ihe loss of 7f;8 .lewish refugees flee¬ ing from Nazi persecution as "mass murder" and said "It was the result of acts of stupidity, callousness and cruelly visiled upon an innocent group of iho.se who should have been their pro- teclors."
Mr. John.son spoke al a me¬ morial lo the "Struma" victims which was arranged by the Am¬ erican Emergency Commiltee for Zionist .Affairs. In keeping wilh the occasion the plalform was draper! in black, and the 'El Moleth Rachamin," tradi¬ lional prayer for Ihe dead, was chanted liy Cantor S;imuel K.int- arof.
Dr. Slephen S Wise read a icli'grani to lhc meeling from Dr. Albert I'^inslcin in wfiich Ihc eminent scienli-l d<'(l;ired that "the ¦Struma' disaster tran¬ scends iiolilica! considerations. It sirikes at the heart of our civliizalion."
Senator .lohnson vigorously disavowed any it icntion to "de¬ nounce the great commonwealth of nations known as Britain, the gallant ally with whom Am¬ erica Is proud lo be associated in the common struggle against the forces of evil. It Is because of our, great, .faith In Britain, It
'^^titjrfnir^'ofef-dbBmoit 'caille^iSs this'cto'se,'<)f'htimahlty—that we are here tonight."
The White Paper policy for Palestine, Senator Johnson said is of the same brood of appease ment and "could only have the effect of .strangling the Jewish National Home which the Bal- ifour Declaration was pledged to promote." He expressed as¬ surance that "the real Britain, the Hritain with whom we are Joined In the sacred covenant of partnership, the Britain of Winston Churchill, grieves with us in our sorrow and bristles in anger wilh us al this protest." The formu¬ la which governs the ottlcials of Palestine, he charged was "appease your enemies, sacri¬ fice your friends."
Referring to the present plight of European Jewry, Sen¬ ator John.son declared Ihal the war had its inception against the Jewish people. "If this war," he   conlinued,   "Is   won   by   the
