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-
bela will make the rules and from five to seven
judges will sit. These will rank as "judges or
high civil sergeants." Their power is com-
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-
etraint of the press." And "if the act is corn-
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 para-
graph 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 codo stands for "truth" and "dignity."

[ American Fascism in Embryo

By HAROLD LOEB and SELDEN RODMAN

[MOWS NOM

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.
If it is true that "whom the gods would
Mr. Pew's verdict expresses the senti-
destroy they first make mad," then we shall
witness plenty of fun in the hell that is ment of the American journalistic frater-
nity. We must come to this conclusion
called Germany.

Jewry's Great Losses.
World Jewry suffers a severe loss in the
death, during the past week, of Jacob
Wasserman and George Alexander Kohut.
Both have made definite contributions
to literature. Dr. Kohut has especially con-
tributed works of a lasting nature to Jew-
ish scholarship and learning. The list of
his literary works—all of a Jewish charac-
ter—which appears elsewhere in this issue,
reveals a versatile mind which will be
missed by our people.
In the death of Wasserman the world
loses one of the outstanding novelists, who
had been a source of pride to Jewry. A
great weaver of stories, a charming per-
sonality and an idealist who was anxious
to reconcile loyalty to Judaism with a
loyalty to the land of which he was a citi-
zen, Mr. Wassermann has earned the es-
teem not only of the world's outstanding
literary critics, but also of the millions of
his readers and of his own fellow-Jews.

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 Naz!
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-
m an'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 nod umbrageous
chauvinism of Adolf Hitler and his understudy,
Dr. Goebbels, minister of Propaganda and Pub-
lie Enlightenment. Have no fear, indulgent
reader, I shall not inflict upon you this
windy,
muddle-headed document of violent and defin-
itely craud men. Most of it would not even
make geese to th e 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 freed6m and make more
complete the blind subservience of hit people.
Here are points in the new law: Writing, re-
porting and editing, or eupply 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
Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlighten-
ment is established as high priest of the bust-
nese. He decides what is • political or non-
pol.tiral newspaper or periodical. An editor
must be ■ German Citi2C11, of Aryan descent
and not married to • person of non - Aryan

when we take into consideration two fac-
tors: The manner in which American cor-
respondents in Germany have covered the
German news, revealing the Nazi imbecili-
ties and cruelties; and the successful battle
that the press conducted for the guarantee
of the freedom of the American press in
the NRA code for our newspapers.
But while the German regime stands
condemned, Jews, especially the Jewish
professional men„continue to suffer. One
professional group of Jews after another is
being deprived of the right to practice its
profession. The tragedy is becoming more
acute. But aside from occasional con-
demnations and expressions of sympathy,
the world remains indifferent to the despair
of German Jewry. The doors of practi-
cally every country in the world, remain
closed for these unfortunates. Thefein lies
the test of world sympathy. Once again,
we are compelled to the belief that only if
we help ourselves will we also be helped
divinely.

"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 indeed 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 Menachem Ussishkin, international
head of the Jewish National Fund, was 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.

n. Weenie snick Is a mond from nu New lannall•

When Adolf Hitler, after re-
fusing to play second fiddle to
von Schleicher and von Papen,
turned the full blast of his prop-
aganda trumpets upon the tiny
state of Lippe, the whole world
(and Germany in particular)
remarked that the man was a
fool and that the Nazi move-
ment had come to the end of its
tether. Whether this attitude,
the sort of wishful thinking that
had rendered intelligent men
unprophetic, was the result of
blind fear or whether the ex-
ample of Italy had already be-
come too much a matter of
"history," is betide the point.
The question now is: Will the
rest of the world, and for our
purposes, America, be able to
cope with the menace of fas-
dam? Bismarck was right when
he laughed to acorn the oft-
repeated proverb on learning
things by experience. The clever
man, he said, learns things by
the experience of others.
Our government has been
careful to extract from the en-
voy of Soviet Russia the most
exacting promises in regard to
communist propaganda. But al-
though there are now some hun-
dred and three separate fascist
organizations operating in the
United States, a few of them
financed by German money and
at least one preaching loyalty
to Hitler and his barbarous
ideas, not a promise has been
exacted, not a protest lodged,
with the government which con-
stitutes such a menace to world
peace.
THOSE WHO REVOLT

One of us found himself last
month at a symptomatic meet-
ing. Unofficial representatives
were present from Social Credit,
the American branch of Major
Douglas' economic school, from
the Continental Committee on
Technocracy, from the Farm
Holiday and Farmer - Labor
movements, as well as two for-
mer anarchists, an Equitist, •
disillusioned banker, the former
head of the disbanded New Na-
tional party, a militant liberal,
R Seventy-Sixer and tha presi-
dent of the Crusaders for Eco-
nomic Liberty, One belief only
seemed to be shared by those
present, giving the meeting a
basis for unity. All felt that the
present monetary system had
outlived whatever usefulness it
might have had in the past.
The agreement ended there.
The majority were evidently
trying to preserve for the new
order what they called economic
liberty, and what seemed to
mean the freedom to buy and
to sell, to receive interest and
to lend money. The Techno-
crats, who considered the free-
dom to be all important, and
the right to sell for profit and
to practice usury anachronisms
In this age of potential plenty,
were clearly in the minority.
Most of the individuals pres-
ent expressed, in varying de-
grees, the unrest among many
members of the middle class
which is prevalent throughout
the country. "Middle class" is
loosely used to cover that vast
heterogeneous body of Ameri-
cans who are conscious neither
of their proletarian nor of their
capitalist status. Many mem-
bers of this class, victims of the
systems, no less than are the
industrial workers, are revolt-
ing against it. Fascism, which
is essentially conservative be-
hind ,a smoke-screen of reform
and hate, makes its appeal to
this embittered multitude on
two counts. In the beginning,
as in the cases of Hitler and
Mussolini, it makes an essenti-
ally radical appeal. It attacks
the bankers and other vested in-
terests of the profit system, urg-
ing unity of the working and
middle classes. Then it attacks
the existing working-class move-
ments on the ground that they
intend to take away from the
middle-class what little stake
that class still retains in the
profit system. In so doing it
plays directly into the hands of
the bankers and industrialists,
who then deliberately finance it
and lead it further and further
to the right.
Sonia varieties of Fascism are
local, some have branches in
many parts of the country, some •
have sprung from the remnants
of the Ku Klux Klan, others
have spontaneously arisen to
meet a momentary crisis or a
labor threat. The organizations
about to be described are typi-
cal.

THE KHAKI SHIRTS
The Khaki Shirts (U, S
Fascist) are, or were, led by
"Commander-in-Chief" Art J.
Smith. The movement grew out
of the "Bonus Army" march
on Washington and reached its
finale on Oct. 12 of thirs,year
in Philadelphia. The capture
of the national capital by an
"army," supposedly of 1,500,.
000 trained Khaki Shirts, had
been scheduled for the follow-
ing day. At first the plan had
been to make Smith himself
dictator, but by October the less
ambitious scheme of investing
Franklin D. Roosevelt with the
Job had been adopted. Publicity
at any cost seems to have been
the method. Smedley D. Butler,
Huey Long and Louis McFad-
den were said to be hand in
glove with Smith. When the
day arrived, only a few hundred
men turned out, and Smith
jumped out of the window as
the police entered his headquar-
ters. Embezzlement of funds
and a good-sized "shirt racket"
were exposed by the disgruntled
"generals," "colonels" and less-
er officers (if any).
The Khaki Shirts published a
newspaper. Like most of the
other fascist organizations about
to be described, they freely cir-
culated under the governmental
postal frank Congressman Mc-
Fadden's speech attacking the
Jews. They have disappeared
for a time. Some of their lead-
en are in jail. But the sa me
was true of a certain Austrian
corporal after a no less trivial
piece of high comedy in Munich,
anno 1923.
ORDER OF '76
Unlike the Khaki Shirts, the
Seventy-Sixers avoid publicity.
Their work is done underground.
Organizers are sent to trouble
centers and members there en-
rolled. Their leader keeps him-
self in the background and calls
himself organizer rather than
chief. They have no program
except a general antipathy to
certain phases of capitalism such
as racketeering, banking, poli-
tics. Hatred of Jews was for
a time their mainspring. To get
around the fact that Jews are
actually a minor factor in Amer-
ican banking, they have told
prospective members that Mor-
gan and other prominent finan-
ciers have traces of Jewish
blood.
This organization started in
New York and claims to be en-
rolling 200 members a day. Ira
method of holding them is to
assign specific tasks to each in-
dividual. These consist largely
in petty espionage. Information
is being compiled in order to be
ready for "the day." Although
it is to be doubted whether they
uncover much "inside dope" on
the bankers, they are successful

posing petty graft—and in
