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.

MIZRACHI DINNER ON SUNDAY NIGHT 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 (PLEASE TURN TO PAGE I) 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.
