A MILITANT STAND
ON FASCISM URGED

Defend Democracy
•

In a most illuminating address
devoted to an analysis of Fan-
dm and Fascist tendencies in
this country, Prof. Samuel M.
Levin of Wayne University, in
an addresss before the adult dis-
cussion group of Shaarey Zedek
last Sunday morning, urged that
Jews adopt a more militant atti-
tude in dealing with anti-Semi-
tism and advocate greater co-
operation with labor groups.
Prof. Levin advocated legisla-
tion against the libeling of a race
and the prohibition of uniformed
gangs like the Band. Pointing to
the strong stand against Fascism
taken by both labor factions in
this country, he declared that
labor offers the strongest opposi-
tion to anti-democratic groups
and that greater cooperation
should be given the labor move-
ment in this fight.
Pointing out that Fascism is a
new force—the term was not yet
listed in the 1924 dictionaries—
and that Judaism is the oldest in-
stitution in existence. Prof. Levin
described the present battle as
the new pitted against the old
principles. He pointed out that
modern civilization is Judea-
Christian and that Fascism's fight
ageing t modem civilization's
agencies must, therefore, also be
directed against Christianity.
The characteristics of Fascism
were described by Prof. Levin as
inveterate opposition to democ-
racy, deification of the state, it-
is anti-rational and takes a stand
against reason, it glorifies power
and force and is opposed to or-
ganized labor.
The state-managed anti-Semi-
tism of Germany was described
by Prof. Levin as being founded
on mob psychology. Nazism, he
said, makes the mob conscious
not of Jewish contributions but
of propaganda about deceit and
destruction. He branded as fool-
ish any notion that people will
not yield to such propaganda
when hammered into the minds
of the people.
Expressing faith that the Fas-
cism of Europe can not be plant-
ed on American soil, Prof. Levin
nevertheless warned that there is
danger of our going astray be-

This is a time for sacrificial giving—and the

Allied Jewish Campaign is the test of our gener-

osity.
This is a time for personal service anti for lib-
eral contributions.
There are definite Obligations today demanding
that every Jew should give without considering the
previous contributions. The standards of devotion
to sacred causes are of necessity much higher today
than they have ever been in the past.
Dr. Abba Hillel iIver, who together with
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise heads the United Jewish Ap-
peal for Refugees and Overseas Needs, made the
following important statement during his visit here
last Sunday:

"I have been surprised to note certain in-
stances in which contributors are giving only
50 per cent or 100 per cent more this year in-
stead of 500 per cent and more. There may be
occasions in which a contributor gave the maxi-
mum last year and cannot possibly do more in
1939. But that is an exception. All the rest of
us ought, as a token of our special capacity for
understanding the extent of the problem, give
without regard to past records. Every leader
should realize that an extraordinary enlarge-
ment of his own giving means more than the
dollars from himself. It means that thousands
of additional dollars are added to the cam-
paign total since the entire community is stimu-
lated to contribute on a similar scale of sacrifi-
cial generosity."

Those who can give only twice as much as last
year, or half as much snore as last year, must be
considered the exception to the rule.
Those who constitute the rule must give more
than twice as much as last year.
The message contained in the special appeal—
"Where Next, and Who, Next?"—elsewhere in this
issue of The Chronicle speaks volumes in defense of
this rule: "Except for the grace of our good fortune,
we would now be with them(the persecuted Jews
overseas), for we are all one in historical back-
ground."
Therefore, to give double of last year is not
enough. It is necessary to think in terms of giving
500 per cent and more.
This is the new standard of giving and of liv-
ing—for the American Jews.

PARIS (WNS) — The Jour-
nal Official published new decrees
issued by the French government
which provide for the untilization
of aliens living in France, par-
ticularly refugees and "stateleSs"
persons, in the event of war. The
decrees make military obligation
mandatory and the measure to
use aliens in defense plans was
received with joy by refugees and
stateless persons, who have demon-
strated their willingness to serve
France in wartime. Another
measure ordered foreign organiza-
tions to register with the Interior
1111finistry which plans to issue per-
mits to those allowed to continue
00 a means of curbing Nazi activi-
ties and suppressing anti-Semitic
propaganda. The decrees impose
the same military and other obli-
gations on stateless and refugees
as cover French citizens.
These new measures were de-
cided upon following a special
Cabinet committee conference, pre-
sided over by Premier Edouard
Daladier, after adoption by the
full cabinet of decrees aimed at
regulating the status of aliens in
wa rti me.
Meanwhile, the League to Com-
bat Anti-Semitism issued an ap-
peal to the Jewish population, in
view of the growing international
tension, to refrain from political
discussions in public places. The
appeal called on Jews to main-
tain a passive attitude and not to
reply to provocative remarks.
The decrees issued by the
French government calling for
military conscription of aliens liv-
ing in France and which impose
wartime obligations on refugees
and "'stateless" persons were fav-
orably received. Thousands of Jew-
ish refugees offered their services
to France without waiting for
conscription as provided in the
decrees. Meanwhile newspapers
reported that a fund amounting
to 800,000 francs had been raised
by aliens living in France for the
purchase of airplanes to -be - turned'
over to the war department as
proof of their willingness to serve
France.

Refugee Haven in Alaska Seen
Possible
WASHINGTON (M'NS) — De-
partment of Interior experts, in
submitting their report to Secre-
tary Harold
Ickes on the pos-
sibilities of settling European
refugees in Alaska, suggested such
a project would be beneficial to
the territory and to the United
States if properly planned and
privately financed. Commenting on
the report Mr. Ickes pointed out
that lack of man power and capi-
tal now stood in the way of de-
velopment of Alaska. He empha-
sized, however, that the depart-
ment had recommended no specific
settlement plans and that the prob-
lem involved question of national
defense and immigration beyond
the jurisdiction of the Interior De-
partment.
