Mr. Sadowski:
Mr. Speaker,
Hitler and his Nazi beasts have
gone completely mad. Since our
victory over the Axis in Tunisia
and Africa, Hitler's rage knows
no bounds. He immediately placed
full blame upon the Jews and
announced his determination to
exterminate every Jew in Eu-
rope.
From the Polish Morning
World, a New York daily Polish-
language paper, conies informa-
tion from the Polish government
in London telling of the new and
terrible annihilation, extermina-
tion and mass murder of thou-
sands of Jews in the cities of

rope is openly giving vent to his
rage and is going to satisfy his
lust for revenge upon those re-
maining bedraggled, hungry and
hounded Jews in Europe. Some-
thing must be done, and done
immediately, to save at least some
of these poor unfortunates.
Churchill is now here in Wash-
ington. Let this Congress appeal
to him and President Roosevelt.
These recent reports of this
new reign of terror should make
every one of us shudder. The
Nazis are combing the cities and
Jews are shot down in the streets
or in their homes, or are slain
in huge gas chambers. It is a
campaign for complete annihila-
tion and extermination. Surely
something must be done to try to
help these unfortunate and de-
fenseless people.
Our military and diplomatic ex•
perts should be instructed and
given full authority to act. They
must effectuate a plan for action
to save the remaining Jewish
people in Europe. Without doubt
Palestine offers the most practical
haven of refuge.
It can be
