BANKHEAD SAYS U. S.
WON'T FORSAKE JEWS
Growth of Order Outlined
by Retiring President
Alfred M. Cohen
WASHINGTON.—Welcomed by
President Roosevelt, and ac-
claimed by Speaker Bankhead as
"sleepless sentinels on the fron-
tiers of freedom," more than 1000
delegates and guests of Bnai
Brith, assembled for its general
convention, rededicated themselves
Monday to protection of America's
heritage of democracy from its
mortal enemies, communism. fas-
cism and nazism.
Addressed to Alfred M. Cohen,
retiring president of the order, at
a testimonial dinner honoring
him tonight, President Roosevelt's
message, read by his son, James
Roosevelt, was as follows:
"It gives me great pleasure to
extend greetings to the members
of Bnai Brith on the occasion of
the triennial convention of the or-
ganisation.
"For almost • century Bnai
Brith has effectively served the
well-being of American Jewry and
the nation. Its philanthropic
achievements are permanently
enshrined within the walls of hos.
pitals, orphanages and homes for
the aged which bless humanity in
every section of our land.
"Its endeavors in the realm of
education exhibit a far-sighted un-
derstanding in the problems of
the younger generation. No less
important is Bnai Brith's program
of Americanism which fortifies the
effort to keep America safe for
democracy, while its program of
good-will strives toward harmony
among the component elements
comprising our American society.
"In the conflict of policies and
political principles which the
world witnesses today, this nation
romaine unshaken in its devotion
to the ideals and the institutions
of democracy. Except in so far
as we deplore ill treatment of hu-
man beings anywhere, the domes-
tic policies of other nations are of
no concern to the United States.
-Wiess,--Joewevee,- alien - influences
seek to undermine the foundations
of our own institutions we become
definitely concerned.
"This country, for its own
guidance and for the guidance of
othe r nations if they will follow
it, has ever held aloft the torch
of freedom. Our conception of
freedom embraces complete liberty
of conscience and of thought,
freedom of education, freedom of
the press, the right of free speech
and of assembly. On that con-
ception of liberty all of our hap-
piness as a nation has been built."
Speaker Bankhead's address
was broadcast over an internation-
al hookup on the Mutual system.
Jews are historically the first but
never the only sufferers from op-
pression and persecution, he said;
and the Jewish crisis today is
"inextricably bound up with that
of freedom-loving peoples every-
where."

U. S. PROTESTS AGAINST NAZI
DECREE TO EXPROPRIATE JEWS
Conference of 33 Nations to Study Repatriation
of Refugees to Be Held in Evians, France,
on July 6
On Wednesday the State Department disclosed
that a vigorous protest against the Nazi decree for
the expropriation of property belonging to all Jews
was filed with the German government by Ambassa-
dor Hugh 12. Wilson.
The Wilson note, filed on May 9, was couched
in unusually strong terms, charging that the Nazi
decree is "discriminatory."
Word was also received from Washington this
week that the intergovernmental conference to study
repatriation of refugees from countries of oppression
will take place in Evians, France, on July 6. This
conference will be attended by spokesmen for 33
European and American governments who accepted
the invitation of President Roosevelt and Secretary
of State Hull. Italy is the only country that rejected
the invitation.

Warned not to be overconfident of results during the last week of solicitations, work-

and Friday that unless a concerted effort is made to reach every prospective contributOr
the campaign may result in failure.
With approximately $325,000 raised as this issue of The Detroit Jewish Chronicle
goes to press—a shortage of more than $65,000 of the campaign goal of $390,700-it was
pointed out to the hundreds of workers that the most difficult task in the drive is to be ac-
complished in the concluding five days of solicitations, since most of the larger contribu-
tions are already recorded.
Unprecedented enthusiasm marks this year's drive. All attendance records were broken at the opening dinner
on Sunday evening, with more than 1,000 in attendance. The daily report luncheons drew large audiences, and each
gathering generated additional enthusiasm for the drive and a greater response to the campaign's objectives.
Not only the workers, but the community at large has been found to be responsive to the campaign appeals,
and the leaders and workers are heartened by the increases that are being made over last year's contributions.
Luncheon meetings of workers will continue next week, with Louis Lipsky, chairman of the administrative com-
