N. C. J. C. News Service Writer

American Jews were heartened
this week by the news that Chris-
tian leaders are taking the initia-
tive in attacking anti-Semitism in
the United States. Representa-
tives of five synods of the Ame -i-
can Lutheran Conference appe
ed to their clergy and laymen to
"take a firm stand against toe
slander and falsehood" being d
seminated in this country.
The statement is being inter-
preted not only as a significant
appeal to the fairness of the
American people, but also as et
least an indirect attack upon the
anti-Jewish program of the Ger-
man Nazis. Aa is well known. the
Lutheran Church is the largest
religious group in Germany.
These American Lutheran lead-
ers declare that "a persistent pro-
paganda of Jew hatred has bein
carried on in this nation for sev-
eral years. Anti-Semitic propa-
ganda, they say, has "been fos-
tered and fed by thousadds of
pamphlets, books, periodicals and
radio addresses ... Most of these
are based upon ... malicious and
fictitious fabrication , , ."
Perversion of Christianity
As Christian ministers, they
state anti-Semitic propaganda is
a perversion of Christian teach-
ing and irreconcilable with the
life and spirit of Jesus Christ
Profound sympathy is also expres-
sed for the firm stand taken by
many pastors in Germany against
the Nazi regime.

Memorandum Asks for Min-
ority Rights Protection;,
Dr. Wise Is Signer

GENEVA, December 17, 1936.
—The World Jewish Congress on
Dec. 17 submitted over the signa-
ture of Dr. Stephen S. Wise,
chairman of ita executive commit-
tee, a memorandum to the Learns
of Nations, asking it to take ac-
tion to protect minority rights.
The memorandum asks that the
principle of minority rights pro-
tection be made universal and ap-
plicable to nations already mem-
bers of the League and nations
which may be admitted to League
membership from time to time.
The memorandum calls atten-
tion to the tragic plight of Jews
in various parts of Europe, the
mounting deterioration of their
rights and the increase of dis-
crimination and attack upon
them.
Nazi Germany Is charged with
responsibility for launching a
world-wide propaganda directed
against the Jews which, the mem-
orandum points out, is tolerated
by the League of,Nations despite
the fact than It is incompatible
with the principles on which the
League is founded.
