Problem of Refugees Remains Acute; Dr.

On the occasion of the fourth anniversary
of the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the
Nazi party, efforts are being made through-
out the world for a renewal of the boycott of
German-made goods in order to strike at the
common enemy where the present regime
can be most seriously affected.
Jews and non-Jews throughout the world are uniting
again at this time in an attempt to undermine the rule of
the Nazis and to prevent the spread of Hitlerism in demo-
cratic countries.
The League for Human Rights of Detroit, which is
promoting the boycott of Ger-•
man goods and services here, is
redoubling its efforts in order to
advise the public against the pur-
chase of goods manufactured in
Nazi Germany and to stop the
flooding of the local market with
German-made articles. The league

Urge U ***** ing of Hitler
PARIS. — (WNS) — Estab-
lishment of a German People's
Front through a union of all Ger-
mans in and out of Germany who
are opposed to the Nazi regime
is called for in a proclamation
issued here by 73 world-famous
German refugees on the eve of
the fourth anniversary of the
Hitler government. Emphasizing
that "the brown tyranny can be
broken only through the union of
all Germans who are willing to
fight for freedom and justice."
t h e proclamation summons all
Germans in the Reich and in
other countries, regardless of
political, economic or religious
opinions, to unite in a German
People's Front. The proclamation
declares that this new People's
Front is not intended to be a new
party but a union of all "those
willing to stake their efforts for
the liberty and prosperity of the
German people." Affiliates of the
People's Front are assured of
complete freedom of opinion for
their own political, religious and
economic ideologies.
The proclamation also outlines
a nine-point program which in-
cludes the following demands:
freedom for all the Nazi regime's
victims now in concentration
camps, revocation of all terrorist
laws; punishment for all those
responsible for the Nazi govern-
ment's crimes; complete freedom
of press and assembly; absolute
freedom of thought, conscience
and religious worship; an imme-
diate end to race incitement; the
discontinuance of all forms of
war propaganda ; election of
Judges by the people and protec-
tion of the individual against ar-
bitrary legal decrees; full right

TO SHOW "THIS IS
THE LAND" FEB, 6-7
MEXICO CITY (WNS) — His
youthful belief that assimilation
would cause an automatic disap-
pearance of the Jewish problem
has been shattered by the develop-
ments of the last century, Leon
Trotzky, exiled Soviet leader, who
is now living in Mexico City, de-
clared in a statement published
in Der Weg, Mexico City Yiddish
paper. Expressing regret that he
had never learned Yiddish and
hence had been unable to keep
in close touch with Jewish affairs,
Trotzky said that "declining cap-
italism had everywhere led to a
bestial nationalism, of which anti-
Semitism is an integral part. This
is why anti-Semitism has emerged
in the most highly developed cap-
italistic countries of Europe, as
for example in Germany."
Commission Leaves Palestine
JERUSALEM (WNS — Palcor
Agency)—With Sir Harold Mor-
ris and Sir Morris Carter having
left Palestine, all members of the
Royal Commission sailed for Eng-
land together from Port Said on
Jan. 24. Their investigation of
the administration of the Pales-
tine Mandate will not be con-
cluded by that time, however,
since it is expected that supple-
mentary hearings may be called
in London.
The actions committee of the
World Zionist Organization, su-
preme governing body of the
Zionist movement, has been sum-
moned for a meeting in Jerusalem
beginning April 13.
During the first half of 1936,
the Jewish Colonial Trust earned
from its activities a profit of
£318,000, it was reported by La-
zar Braude, chairman of the man-
aging committee of the Zionist
bankiegsinatitution.. -
This profit was additional to
the gains accruing to the Colonial
Trust from its shares of the An-
glo-Palestine Bank which have
doubled in value. The trust holds
practically all the voting shares
in the bank.
The Government Ims instruct-
eel officials not to employ on
any of its projects Arabs who
enter the country illegally. It
is understood that the instruc-
tions are • result of the evi-

In behalf of important agencies
which depend for their support
upon the Detroit Jewish com-
munity.
"I am impressed by the plan
for the Trade Council because it
provides for greater efficiency
and better divisions of labor
among our volunteer workers. It
rives us a chance to plan more
freely and less hurriedly than in
previous years. It has so many
excellent qualities that it is im-
possible not to be impressed by
its possibilities."
