Winne.r of the Pulitzer prize ah

Ili wrer's reputation for accurae ■ . and ver-
acity is unquestioned. The messages he
brings from Germany are, therefore, of
great importance and should be heard by
as many as can possibly be accommodated
at the lecture hall chosen for his Detroit
visit.

visit her is of particular importance. Ile

of freedom 111(1 equalit ■ ;Ind by presenting
the true facts in the horrors perpetrated
against Germany's Jewish population he
has been directly responsible for arous-
ing public opinion against the Ilitlerites.
The Jewish (mmunity welcomes Mr.
Alowrer with an expression of gratitude
for the great service he has rendered the
cause of liberalism, and for the manner iu
which he has come to the defense of Jew-
ry's elementary human rights.

The Myth of Jewish Unity.
Michael Ilaiper takes the rich Jews of

America to task, in an article entitled "The
United Front of the Jews," in the current
issue of The American Spectator.
Relating it personal experience, of being
called upon to prepare the text for an anti-
Hitler motion picture, Mr. Ilalper
\
his own disappointment, and the dis-
appointment of the movie producer, when
the rich Jews whom they had considered a
part of an united Jewish front against the
German metiace refused to finance their
project.
Mr, Rainer goes into detail •io eXplain the
plot outlined from actual occurrences )11111
facts. Ile relates how his employer con-
sulted Carl Laefunde and other movie mag-
nates, and all agreed that the picture would
not only prove It great moral triumph but
that it would also make. money. Imagine
their consternation when Jews refused to
support them with a measly hundred thou-
sand dollars. Ilalper's job was done be-
cause the producer realized that he
couldn't put the picture through. And
lialper thus describes this movie man's
realization of the failure of his project :
Ile realized he could get no money.

Ile realized that jilt because a lot of
wealthy Jews had it ou :1 plalf111111 in Mali.
son Square Garden an a protest again-t Hitler-
ism was no guarantee that they would shell out
any American dollars for ea anti-Hitler pic-
ture.
He realized it wasn't practical because many
of these rich New Yolk Germatihlew s had cash,
interests in Germany and didn't want any
strong, anti-Hitler phdure to can, "complica-
tions. "
Geschavft is Geschaeft.

Is it possible that personal financial in-
terests of Jewish leaders are responsible
for their lethargy and indifference. to Jew-
ish suffering in the present tragedy, and to
the dangers which face Jewish civil and
political rights throughout the world?
Time and again, the charge has been
made that Jewish owners of department
stores continue to purchase German-made
goods because of personal financial inter-
ests in Germany, or because :they are anx-
ious to save their dollars which are on de-
posit in Nazi-controlled banks. This charge
has been leveled with particular emphasis
against Macy's of New York.
Insofar as there is an effort by Jewish
merchants to save their cash possessions in
Germany, there is ground for defense of
their actions. As long as they :ire unable
to take their money from the Nazi banks,
and are instead saving their deposits by
taking from Germany their equivalent in
merchandise. they are harming rather than
helping Germany. Would it have been
better if they had left both their money
and their merchandise in Germany? Of
Course not. Having no other alternative,
they take merchandise, and by that much
deprive the Nazi-ruled Germans of certain
possessions which would have been theirs
had these merchants been foolishly stub-
born to refuse a substitute for the money
they are not permitted to take out of Ger-
many.
But is it possible that their cash interests
also cause them fearfully to withhold their
support from movements which would
cause the unification of Jewry in behalf of

their

less fortunate brethren and jor the

defense of Jewish rights? Are we to believe
that selfish motives are to he ascribed tothe
existing indifference and to the failure that
is being experienced in the raising of large
sums for relief purposes and in preparation
for the defense of our human rights as citi-
zens everywhere? Is it possible that such
selfishness and indifference is to be ascribed
to the total disunity which rules American
Jewish life?

American Jewish Committee's Work.

‘Then the complete story of present
occurrences in Germany will be written by
the historian, it will be the American Jew-
ish
Committee that will undoubtedly
emerge as the body that has done the most
good ill sanely defending .Iewish rights and
in counteracting the insidious propaganda
that has been spread in this country
against our people.
Our authority on this point may he ques-
tioned, particularly in view of the fact that
the American Jewish Comaiittee (loss not
publicize its activities. Perhaps this is the
best thing that can be said to the Commit-
tee's credit. It has a definite task to per-
form, and it does its work without pleading,
for the plaudits of fickle audiences and
without shouting its glories from the house-
tops.

By publishing the "NN'hite Book" listing
the crimes of the Nazi government, the
American Jewish Committee did a distinct
service to the cause of justice and in de-
fense of the Jewish position ill Germany.
The recent publication of the pamphlet,
"The Voice of Religion," containing editor-
ial comments and expressions of 1)11111 ion Ill
condonitlat ion of Ilitlerism by Christian
clergymen is another accomplishment
which stands out definitely to the credit of
the Anwrican Jewish Committee,
It is perhaps natural that this body
should be ill position to do the !mist good
without resorting to excessive public fire-
works. The connections the Committee has
in European countries, including Germany.
make it exceptionally well suited for the
job of defending the rights of our people.
NVe had occasion to see proof of the . Com-
mitt ee's work when it came to our service.
in !orating two distinguished German Jews
who ar e being persecuted by the Nazis. We
made use of the Committee's services at
the request of a non-Je•. who expressed
anxiety over the fate
d
were located — one ill Italy,
but now seeking refuge in this country. and
the other having been found to be on trial
for a crime he could never have committed
and is therefore in great danger. Both nom
are outstanding figures in the scientific
world. There is hope that something may
be done for them.
Thus, an unheralded piece of work goes
on. in spite of the 'act that it is not gener-
ally known, and in contradiction of the
charges of inactivity occasionally leveled
against the American Jewish Committee.
The complete story, when told, will relate
the true facts,

Welcoming the Refugees.

Former German Consul Dr. Paul
Schwartz is quoted as saying that 351 refu-
gees from Nazi persecutions have thus far
been admitted to this country, and that of
these, 300 are Jews.
It is to be regretted that the number does
not run into the thousands. Speaking at a
Hadassah meeting in Philadelphia. Dr.
Stephen S. Wise of New York stated:
"Let America admit live to ten thousand
refugees yearly just as a token of friend-
ship. If that is too much to ask. then I
am sorry. not for the refugees, but for
America."
We agree with Dr. Wise. We feel that
there is justification for the demand that
the traditional haven of refuge for the op-
pressed should open its door for the suffer-
ens, Jews and non-Jews. This is America's

chance to redeem its ancient glory.

How is the desired Jewish unity to be

situation?
Perhaps the present trying problems will
force action. All hope is not gone, and
there is yet reason to believe that the hour
will produce the desired tool able leaders.
Until now' We have failed to provide for a
