Riot Is Threatened If
Arrested Klansmen
Are Detained

NEW JERSEY (WNS) —
Twenty hooded members of the
Ku Klux Klan burned a 30-foot
cross outside a Jewish synagogue
in Roselle, N. J., terrorizing the
Jewish population of that area.
Two of the Klansmen were ar-
rested by local police and paroled
for hearing on disorderly conduct
charges.
Dr. Young, presumably the
Hudson County Klan leader,
warned that there would be a
"riot" if the two Klansmen were
not released when they come up
for trial.
According to The Hour, anti-
Nazi weekly, one Klansman said
that if the burning of the cross
outside the local synagogue "does-
n't shut the Jews up, we'll cut a
few throats." The Klansmen dis-
tributed leaflets which stated
that "all Jews are Communists
or Communistic."
At Midvale, N. J., 50 Klans-
men were booed by a larger
group outside the hall of the Jun-
ior Order of United American
Mechanics where the Klan had
called a meeting. Borrowing a
cue from the K. K. K., the anti-
Klan demonstrators burned a fiery
circle on a near-by hillside
throughout the meeting.
Arthur. M.
state commander of the Klan,
said: "We are not here to at-
tack Roman Catholic Churches
or Jews on their faiths, but we
are not afraid to criticize either
their un-American attitude to-
ward the Government of the Uni-
tetd States." Bell said that the

Perversions of Hitler
Exposed by Rauschning

Former Confidant of Nazi Leader Reveals
Attitude of Cruelty as Expressed
at Party Conferences

Adolf Hitler speaking:
"Conscience is a Jewish inven-
tion."
"I can well imagine that there
is a future for bacterial warfare
• . . The results would not be
immediate. It would take several
weeks, if not longer, for an epi-
demic to appear. Perhaps we
shall introduce bacteria at the
height of the war, at the mo-
ment when the powers of resist-
ance of the enemy are beginning
to fail."
"We must be ruthless. We
must regain our clear conscience
as to ruthlessness. Only thus
shall we purge our people of their
softnc ,s, and sentimental philis-
tinism."
"For our people it is decisive
whethi they acknowledge the
Jewish Christ-creed with its ef-
feminai e pity-ethics, or a strong,
heroic belief in God in Nature,
God
our own people, in our
destU
in our blood."

the theories of Nazism and their
destructiveness. In his new work,
which has already created a sen-
sation in England under the title
"Hitler Speaks", he describes
Adolf Hitler and his henchmen
and gives verbatim reports of
private conversations he had with
them. We get an insight into the
views not only of Adolf Hitler
but also of Goering, Goebbels,
Hess, Forster, Himmler, all im-
portant factors in Nazism, as
well as of the purged Roehm.
It develops from the record of
these conversations that Hitler
had serious designs on Latin
America. "We have a right to
this continent", he said, "for the
Fuggers and Welsers had posses-
sions there . . . If ever there is
a place where democracy is suici-
dal and senseless, is is South
America."
Herr Rauschning informs us
that the word "equality" seemed
to lash Hitler into a fury. On
one occasion Hitler "exclaimed
jubilantly": "They regard me
as an uneducated barbarian. Yes,
we are barbarians! We want to
be barbarians! It is an honorable
title. We shall rejuvenate the
world! This world is near its
end. It is our mission to cause
unrest."
And Goering had said: "I have
no conscience. My conscience is
Adolf Hitler."
Again and again, Hitler re•
ferred to the Jews. Of particular
interest are the following para-

Tel Aviv Marks
30th Anniversary as
All-Jewish City

TEL AVIV ( W NS—Palcor
Agency) — The all-Jewish city
of Tel Aviv celebrated its 30th
anniversary with a reception
attended by 31 of its founders.
Speakers recalled the early days
of the small Jaffa suburb which
has come to be known as the
"Miracle City" of modern Pal-
estine.
Established in 1909 by a
group of pioneers headed by the
late Meier Dizengoff, who serv-
ed as its mayor for 26 years,
the city known as the "Hill of
Springs," was intened to serve
merely as a convenient residen-
tial center for Jews engaged in
business and commerce in the
Arab city of Jaffa. But its
sand dunes soon gave way to
modern structures and rapid in-
dustrial development, with the
result that today its population
numbers 200,000 Jews who are
engaged in a large variety of
industrial and commercial pur-
suits.

take place next Wednesday morn-
ing, Feb. 21, at 9:30 o'clock.
Construction and administration
of the structure, to be known as
the Rose Sittig Cohen Memorial
Building, will be under the direc-
tion of the United Hebrew
Schools, which will use the two-
story building to accommodate ap-
proximately 500 children in this
newest unit of its communal
school system. Center activities,
under the supervision of the Jew-
ish Community Center, also will
be housed. There will be eight
classroom. Classes will be on the

Fills Important Need

The erection of a school build-
ing in the northwest section fills
a great need. According to care-
ful studies made by the manage-
ment of the schools over a period
of a few years, it has been def-
initely ascertained that this par-
ticular section has a Jewish school
population of over 4,000, while a
very significant part of this large
number is receiving any Jewish
education. Two hundred are now
housed in the Hebrew School
branch in the McCulloch public
school, located in that section, and
a little over 100 attend the Cen-
tral High School.
Parents who want to get ad-
vance information regarding the
accommodations of the school, the
hours of teaching, etc., may do
so by calling the main office of the
United Hebrew Schools, 1245 W.
Philadelphia Ave., Madison 8770.
Information regarding Center ac-
tivities may be obtained by call-
ing the Jewish Community Cen-
ter, 8904 Woodward Ave., Madi-
son 8400.

Great Tribute Is to Be
Paid Memory of
Leader

The memory of the late Joseph
II. Ehrlich will be honored by
the planting of an Ehrlich For-
est in Palestine.
This decision was reached by
a committee composed of spokes-
men for all organizations and
movements with which the late
Mr. Ehrlich was affiliated.
The forest will be planted
through the Jewish National
Fund, the agency that redeems
the soil of Palestine as the in-
alienable property of the Jewish
people, on land of the Jewish
National Fund.
William Friedman was chosen
chairman of this memorial proj-
ect, with Abraham Cooper and
Harry Cohen us co-chairmen.
Lawrence W. Crohn is treasurer
of the committee.
A call is being issued this week
to the entire community to par-
ticipate in this project and to
make possible the speedy comple-
tion of the forest.
The planting of forests in Pal-
estine has become recognized as
one of the outstanding tributes
paid to noted world leaders. Until
now forests have been planted
in memory of Dr. Theodor Ilerzl,
George Washington, Thomas Man.
aryk, Lord Balfour, and only a
handful of other men, including
several living personalities. Among
the latter, Fred M. Butzel was
selected for honors on his 60th
birthday and a Butzel Forest is
being planted in Palestine.
Contributions for the planting
of trees in the Ehrlich Forest
will be accepted at $1.50 per
tree. They may be sent to the
office of the Zionist Organization
of Detroit, 1044 Penobscot Bldg.,

the Women's Division of the
Congress on Wednesday evening,
Feb. 21, at 8 o'clock, at Central
High School, Tuxedo near Lin-
wood. Admission will be free and
the meeting will be open to the
public.

Dr. Perlzweig, who arrived in
this country three weeks ago, is
making a tour of a number of
important centers of Jewish pop-
ulation in this country to bring
home to them the facts concern-
ing the Jewish position abroad,
the needs of Jewish life, the
work of the World Jewish Con-
gress and what European Jewry
expects from American Jewry.
He addressed the national con-
ference of the American Jewish
Congress during the week-end of
Feb. 10 to 12 in Washington.
As the head of the World
Jewish Congress movement in
England, Dr. Perlzweig has
served as its political representa-
tive in important consultations of
interventions not only with the
British Government but with
other governments of Europe and
has assisted in bringing about
some diminution of the oppres-
sion directed against Jews.
In the months before the out-
break of the war, he made a
tour of Europe, where he was
received by leading statesmen,
including the late Prime Minister
of Rumania, M. Calinescu. As a
result of this intervention, M.
Calinescu was moved to amelior-
ate the position of the Jews. Dr.
Perlzweig was the first Jew to
be received by a Minister of Ru-
mania in four years.
In Jugoslavia he secured from
the Prime Minister, M. Tevetco-
vitch, a statement affirming the
