OF PROTESTANTS TO
ALL VICTIMS

Urges Refugee Colonization of
Alaska as Necessary for Ter-
ritory's Growth

The leaders of the United Jew-
ish Appeal asserted that when the
gift was first conceived it was
their intention to have it present-
ed through His Eminence, George
Cardinal Mundelein, who in the
minds of Americans had been pe-
culiarly associated with the no-
ble struggle for religious ideals.
In communicating to Dr. But-
trick the decision of the United
Jewish Appeal, Rabbi Silver and
Rabbi Wise declared that it was
felt "appropriate and fitting that
a fund of $125,000 should be
put at the disposal of the Prot-
estant Churches of America as an
acknowledgment on our part of
the sympathy and support of the
leaders of the Protestant
Churches for all victims of reli-
gious and racial persecution."
"We realize that the problem
of the refugee is by no means a
Jewish one, but that it includes
members of all faiths who have
suffered most cruelly from the
tyranny of those governments
whose programs are foreign to
American thought and the Amer-
ican way of life," they said.

While the Jewish people have
suffered more perhaps than any
other people from the actions of
a "malign racialism," Bishop
Sheil observed that the "painful
problems growing out of this in-
human, ungodly fanaticism are
by no means exclusively Jewish
problems." These problems, he
added, are of profound and vital
concern to Catholics, Protestants
and to men of good will every-

that it could be solved "only by

PROTESTANT
ACKNOWLEDGMENT MADE
BY DR. BUTTRICK

Acknowledging the gift of the
United Jewish Appeal to the
Protestant Churches of America.
Dr. Buttrick said that the "one
sufficient answer to cruelty is a
resolute compassion," adding that
war, hate and revenge ultimately
Proved to be "a stultifying re-
sponse" which deepened bitter-
ness. "The one sufficient answer
to intolerance is good will. Your
gift is a clear token of good
will. In its lighted imagination it
will kindle many other lights
across our present darkness until
a new day shall break."
Expressing the hope that the
generous action of the United
Jewish Appeal will encourage
men and women of every faith
to
make "prompt and compas-
sionate provision for refugees of
(very faith," Dr. Buttrick de-
clared that the refugee problem
is "a Primary American task and
opportunity, in which you are
giving splendid leadership.
Dr. Buttrick said that the fact
that the funds raised by the
United Jewish Appeal were in-

Pogroms Initiated in Poland by
Nazi Military Heads

LONDON (WNS) — The reign
of terror against Jews in Nazi-
occupied Poland was directed and
enforced by the general staff of
the German army of occupation,
according to reliable information
received here from sources in
Poland. German soldiers, the re-
port said, were forced to carry
out the orders of the general staff
who planned the extent and the
severity of pogroms in various
sections of the occupied territory.
Pogroms in Lodz, Warsaw, Kra-
kow, Rodom and in other cities
and provinces were set off in
this fashion, the report revealed.
German soldiers, in many in-
stances, were outspoken in their
denunciation of excesses and vio-
lences against the Jews, but for
the most part, the report stated,
the orders were carried out with
dispatch and brutal thoroughness.

ures are reported to have been
introduced in Soviet areas. They
include three-year prison terms
for refugees caught crossing the
frontier. Polish currency will be
invalid starting Jan. 1 in the
Soviet territory. The measure will
further aggravate the position of
refugees there.

WASHINGTON (WNS)-
There is less racial and religious
prejudice in Alaska than in any
section of the United States and
the citizens of the Far North
will gladly welcome refugees to
increase the population "so long
as they have the same rights to
become citizens as any other im-
migrants and are economically
able to sustain themselves," said
Anthony J. Dimond, Alasa's vote-
less representative in Congress on
his return from a flying tour of
his immense territory.
Pointing out that most of the
present residents of Alaska came
there from other places, many
from northern European countries,
he said there is no prejudice
against aliens. "We take a man
for what he is and not for what
his forefathers were or where they
came from," he declared. "Amer-
icans must not underestimate the
difficulties of Alaska for colon-
ization," Dimond said, "immi-
grants must receive complete sup-
port for one year and partial sup-
port for two years more.
"But if we could make use of
our tremendous timberland for
pulp mills," he said, "We could
take care of many thousands im-
mediately. The European war may
cause a situation by which Alas-
kan pulp mills could compete with
the mills of the Scandinavian
countries in supplying pulp for
this hemisphere."

the Polish areas including Kalisz,
Sieradz, Koin, Kolo, Unijow and
the Suwalki region.
The refugees further reported
that a reign of terror in the city
of Chelm, which has a Jewish
population of more than 25,000,
brought pogroms and plundering
of Jewish property. All Jewish
leaders were arrested and several
were shot. More than 2,000 Jews
were rounded up in the market
place, driven to an unknown des-
tination, reportedly the Soviet
frontier, and ordered to find their
way to some settlement.
