AUSTRIA
The threat of revocation of the
citizenship papers of Jews natur-
alized after the war finally came
to pass last Wednesday when the
government deprived 78 natural-
ized Austrian-Jewish citizens of
their citizenship rights. The gov-
ernment move, which was not un-
expected in view of Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg's known desire
to deprive post-war naturalized
Jews of at least part of their
rights, is expected to affect at least
30,000 Jews who became citizens
of Austria after 1919. It also
raeans that henceforth no Jew can
became an Austrian citizen. Thou-
sands of Jews will lose jobs as they
lose their citizenship.
This step by the Austrian gov-
ernment is reminiscent of the Nazi
government's early steps against
so-called Eastern Jews who mi-
grated to Germany during the
World War or immediately after
it. It definitely puts the lie to any
statements made in the past, or
that will be made in he future, by
Chancellor Schuschnigg regarding
the reassurance of the rights of

Jews.

blessing instead of the handicap
that was shortsightedly predicted
for it."
Referring to the coming meet-
ing in London the preface of the
pamphlet states:
"As this book goes to press an-
other Non-Sectarian World Con-
ference is to be held at London
on Nov. 25 to intensify and co-
ordinate the boycott between the
various countries at which out-
standing leaders of every race
and creed and of organized labor
from all parts of the world will
be represented."

There is mit forward the idea
that should the boycott be suc-
cessful in obliging Germany to
recant in her treatment of liberals
and her race discrimination, it
will have been shown that an ef-
fective substitute for the horrors
of war "has at last been found";
that it will have been demon-
grated that economic eanctions
are effective upon a nation
against whom they are directed.

spoke of them as a group as con-

others not so good—but declared
the group in no sense differs from-
the Protestant or Catholic officials
some of whom are excellent and,
others who should be eliminated.

But when he spoke of Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau Jr. he emphasized his love
and admiration for the man. In-
sisting that he knows Mr. Mor-
genthau better than 99 per cent
of the Jewish people, he declared
that Morgenthau is the finest and
aisles man in Washington, that he
honors him for his sincerity and
honesty and that if ever he were
removed from the Cabinet it
would be a good reason for turn-
ing against President Roosevelt.
Father Coughlin found two
points on which to criticize the
Jews;

not advertised them with their ,
protests.

Fascism in this country, and is

Returning again to the prob-
lem affecting German Jews, Rev.
Coughlin insisted that Jews should
fight for their own rights wher-
ever they are, although Jews
throughout the world should pro-
vide funds for relief. Whatever
is done, he advised, the United I

Involved in this controversy with

opposed the interference of the

The Mexican Catholics, he main-
tained, should fight their own bat-
tle for their own rights, although
American Catholics are justified
in supplying the means for such
a battle for justice.

First, they emphasize the Jew-
ishness of a person in public life,

it is interesting to learn that
the several hundred Jews have
more than a thousand employees,
the majority of them Costa Ri-
cans, men and women and, of
course, non-Jews. Every peddler
employs at least one non-Jew. It
appears, however, that this revival
of business and industry had in-
voked the majority and envy of
a small group of Costa Rican
merchants and landowners and
this group is responsible for the
wide anti-semitic attacks which
are being made in a number of
local Spanish papers. This group
also circulates the "protocols" and
other anti-Jewish literature. The
Jewish settlers feel that they are
lonesome and separated from
World Jewry and although the
President of the Republic seems
to have liberal tendencies they
are somewhat panic-stricken be-
cause the Jews are accused of be-
ing Communists and undermining
the foundations of Christianity.
The Jewish community has three
institutions, a Zionist Organiza-
tion, a Jewish Center and a Free
Loan Fund. In view of the situa-
tion, the Costa Rican Jews have
united and have created a Cen-
tral Jewish Committee for the
purpose of protecting their in-
terests. Nevertheless, they have

Reich Officials Put "Protocols"
On School List

BERLIN (JTA)—Virulent an-
ti-Semitic books, including Dr. Al-
fred Rosenberg's "Protocols of
the Elders of Zion and World
Politics," the late Theodor
Fritsch's "Manual of the Jewish
Problem" and Dr. Guenther's book
"Raciology of World Jewry," last
week were Added to the list of
books for use in German public
schools. Dr. Bernhard Rust, Nazi
Minister of Education, issued the
order.
It is thought that the inclusion
of these notorious anti-Semitic
books in the list of books used by
children in the schools is the di-
rect result of the appeal recently
issued by the Nazi firebrand, Dr.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, asking Ger-
mans to read books by Nazi au-
thors and to help develop the
"new German literature." Dr.
Goebbels recalled the fantastic
bonfire of last year in which the
books of all Jewish and liberal
writers were burned. He urged
Germans to build a literature,
"just as they had destroyed one."
Use of the books named, it is
held, will poison the entire gener-
ation of German school children,
who may grow up ignorant of the
fact that the anti-Jewish material
they have read has been com-
pletely discredited in the outside
world.
