Hitler's Order to Schmeling.
The proposed heavyweight boxing match
between King Levinsky of Chicago and
Max Schmeling of Germany is off. Adolf
Hitler has objected to one of his citizens
fighting a Jew, and the bout has been can-
celled by Schmeling's Jewish manager, Joe
Jacobs.
Those who still entertained hopes that
Jewish sportsmen may have a chance at
the forthcoming Olympic Games scheduled
to be held in Berlin in 1936 now know what
they may expect from Germany's bigot.
In a cable to the New York Times as to
what the world may expect from Germany
in 1934, Frederick T. Birchall, head of the
Times European bureau, states that:
Everything that will aid the program for a
militant, strong Germany is officially com-
mendable; anything that hinders it is officially
unpatriotic and punishable. All else in the
national progress is merely Incidental, except
possibly the Jewish question, which is under-
stood to be a personal obsession of the Chan-
cellor.
descent; must be at least 21 years of age, re-
sponsible before the law and with professional
training, with "qualifications required for the
task of spiritually Influencing the public." The
candidate is Ineligible if one or more of his
grandparents were of Jewish blood.
After a year's apprenticeship one may ap-
ply for entry on the professional roster of
editors. If it's 0. K. with the district organi-
zation chiefs, and if Goebbels doesn't veto it,
the editor may take a job. The district leader
can erase the editor's name from the roster
for certain named causes, but the applicant
may appeal to the so-called Press Court, ex-
cept as he may have been blackballed by
Goebbels.
The set-up of the "Press Honor Courts,"
authorized under the law, is remarkable. They
are to "protect the editorial profession" and
there is to be one for each district. In these
courts all violations are to be tried. A pub-
lisher may serve notice on an editor on ac-
count of his policy only if it violates the "pub-
lic duty" or the regulations under the law. If
the paper violates the rules in regard to proper
editorial practice he may be reprimanded, suf-
fer a fine or a month's pay, or have his name
stricken from the professional roster. Goeb-
bels will make the rules and from five to seven
judges will sit. These will rank as "judges or
high civil sergeants." Their power is corn-
plete, except as Goebbels may put in a word.
Indeed, the Minister of Propaganda and Public
Enlightenment may act independently of the
courts if "he deems this vital for the public
welfare."
Persons not enrolled as editors and posing
as such shall be punished by fine or imprison.
ment up to a year. "An editor who demands,
lets himself be promised, or accepts money or
other compensation In return for violating
paragraphs 13 or 14" (to handle news truth-
fully and not to weaken the state or offend
German honor or dignity) "shall be subject to
imprisonment or fine." I have vainly searched
the law, however, for definitions of "truth" or
"dignity," but dare say any German editor who
wishes to survive would know what Hitler and
Goebbels expect editors to write and print.
Whoever offers compensation to an editor to
gain influence contrary to paragraphs 13 and
14 is subject to prosecution under the bribery
of the press law. A publisher who employs an
editor not enrolled in the professional roster
is liable to a fine or three months in jail. Who-
ever threatens an editor to compel him to shape
his policy contrary to paragraphs 13 and 14,
is subject to imprisonment on the charge "con-
straint of the press." And "if the act is com-
mitted through abuse of the editor's depend-
ence because of his position as an employe,
the punishment shall not be less than three
months in prison;" also loss of civil rights. A
publisher who violates the rules in reference
to his relationship with his editors can be de-
prived of the right to operate his plant. The
law partially annuls the Reich Press Law of
1874, but the effect of this is not clear.
The whole absurd, confused and incredibly
hypocritical law is capped by its final pars-
granh reading as follows: "The Reich Minister
of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, in
cooperation with the other Cabinet Ministers
concerned, may promulgate regulations for the
administration of this Act and for the transi-
tion from the code valid heretofore." Which
means, of course, complete dictation, utter
press subserviency and erection of an impene-
trable smoke-screen behind which Hitler may
operate brutally and falsely, while pretending
that his code stands for "truth" and "dignity."
But what else is to be-expected from a
man whose government emphasizes race
purity in dogs but digs up evidence against
its opponents in the graves of Jewish
grandmothers? How much decency are
we to expect from , a state one of whose
leading spokesmen — General Hermann
Wilhelm Goering — issues an order that
"non-Aryan horsemen or drivers will mot
be allowed to take part in horse shows or
tournaments anywhere in Germany?"
Luckily, there is a clause to the latter or-
der that horses owned by non-Aryans may
be entered in such shows.

Nazis Bar Jewish Journalists.
Der Deutsche, organ of the German
Labor Front, recently carried a story under
the following headline:
"The German Press Will Be Freed from
the Jews by Jan. 1."
The story itself told of the official Nazi
statute which made a law of the rule al-
ready practiced for many months which
excluded all Jews from employment as
journalists. Having been announced by
three government agencies—Ministry of
Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda,
Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of
Justice—this law carries unprecedented
weight. It makes two exceptions to the
rule: Jewish front-line war veterans may
apply for positions on newspapers, and
Jewish writers may work on Jewish news-
papers.
The promulgation of this law serves to
remind us of the "Editor's Law" pro-
nounced in Germany a short time ago. We
prefer not to make comment upon it, leav-
ing it to an Aryan. Marlen Pew, editor of
Editor and Publisher, the American news-
man's professional paper, had this to say
in his comment upon the law promulgated
in November:
We had the dubious experience of reading
the full text of the new German "Editor's
Law," reflecting the stupid and umbrageous
chauvinism of Adolf Hitler end his understudy,

reader, I shall not inflict upon you this windy,
muddle-beaded document of violent and defin-
itely noted ism Most of it would not even
make sense to the average American newspaper
worker. It Is but another device of a brazen
dictator to rob the press of his land of every
vestige of intellectual freedom and make more
complete the blind subservience of his people.
Here are points in the new law: Writing, re-
porting and editing, or supply of pictures, be-
comes professional work, regarded under the
law as a "public office" and subject to govern-
mental regulation. From start to finish the

"Hitler Does Wonders."
Addressing a rally of the Federation for
Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies
of New York, Otto Kahn, banker, whose
Jewishness has never been taken seriously,
and who is understood to have been affili-
ated with a Christian church, sounded the
plea to his audience "to reaffirm their loy-
alty to Jewry in the face of a bitter and
ruthless persecution." He continued to
state "this is the time indeefl for every one
of us to heed the call of the blood which
courses in his veins and loyally and proudly
stand up and be counted with his fellow-
Jews."
Here is one instance which warrants the
adaptation of the Chassidic melody to Hit-
lerism and when we may say: "Hitler tut
wunder."
The elevation of Henry Morgenthau, Jr.,
by President Roosevelt to the post of Secre-
tary of the Treasury, following brief serv-
ice as the acting secretary of this important
governmental department, is a recognition
of tried ability about which the President
Is well informed. The intimate friendship
which has existed for years between the
President and the new Secretary of the
Treasury attests also to our chief execu-
tive'e recognition of Mr. Morgenthau's
ability. Mr. Morgenthau's fellow-Jews
wish him well and trust that he will be
successful in his new duties.
Brown-shirted Revisionists mounted the
platform of a meeting hall in Montreal
where the seventieth anniversary of the
birth of Afenachem Ussishkin, international
head of the Jewish National Fund, waa to
be observed. The result was that the cele-
bration was disrupted. A noted leader was
thus robbed of a deserved honor, and his
cause was harmed. Jewish reactionaries
must learn to avoid brown-shirted methods.
