Jewish Prisoners
Freed in Reich

PARIS—Thousands of Jewisn
internees in the Bergen-Belzen
camp have been liberated by
British troops which captured
the area near Hanover in which
the camp is situated. It is esti-
mated that about 60,000 persons
—Jews and political offenders—
are in the concentration camp.
The internees will not be re-
leased from the camp until a
detailed registration of all the
people held there is completed
by the military authorities. In
the meantime, it was established
that there are 1,500 typhus cases
and 9,000 cases of other diseases
among the internees.

C apitol Letter

WASHINGTON.—When the Su- His lead article in the first issue

" preme Court speaks, Con-
gress stops and listens. Lower
courts take note, lawyers file for
future citation. When a member
of the Court steps down from his
high place and, on rare occasion,
speaks out, his remarks are giv-
en special attention. But when
a member warns against fascism
in the United States, that calls
for more than ordinary listening.
Associate Justice Hugo L.
Black recently told a distinguish-
ed dinner gathering in Washing-
ton that "it will not be enough
to stamp out anti-democratic
practices in the lands of our ene-
mies. The conditions which cre-
ated fascism there must not pass
unnoticed here. Their first, and
most dangerous symptom, is al-
ways the same everywhere—an
abandonment of equal justice to
all—the placing of some groups
in a preferred class of citizen-
ship at the expense of other
groups. True democracy must
continue the war on all such be-
liefs."
The occasion for these trench-
ant truths was the presentation
to Justice Black of the Thomas
Jefferson Award of the Southern
Conference for Human Welfare.
It was a particularly appropriate
time for the Justice to point out
that democracy, like peace, is
indivisible. Harmful parasites and
insects are kept from entering
the country through the efficient
plant quarantine methods of the
Department of Agriculure. Equal-
ly injurious ideas find much less
difficulty in entering and in tak-
ing root in sometimes fertile soil.
Witness these examples, which
occurred recently, not in some
foreign land, but here in this
one.

included a proposal, from a
prominent psychologist, he said,
to restrict professional training
of a particular "racial group'—
to prevent their "dominating"
the profession. When several
members of his editorial board
resigned in protest, and a storm
broke around the editorial cham-
bers, the professor was reported
to have apologized profusely for
the statement, which "escaped
editorial scrutiny" in the hurry
to make a deadline.
That puts education two ups,
and brings us to a Cpl. Kawo-
moto and the five shots. The
shots were fired at the corporal
by some Californians who fig-
ured an American uniform is not
an American uniform when as-
signed by the army to a Japa-
nese-American. Secretary of War
Stimson seemed to think other-
wise. When asked at a press con-
ference about the reported shoot-
ing, he forthrightly condemned
such attacks based on ancestry
as an "inexcusable and dastardly
outrage against an American sol-
dier who, like millions of others
of many different racial back-
grounds, has demonstrated his
loyalty to his country."
Justice Black has found it nec-
essary to repeat the elementary
warning that a government which
denies the essential dignity of
man leads to fascism. In accept-
ing the Jefferson gold medal the
Justice urged "each of us in our
own way" to join the constant
struggle for democracy, summed
up in Jefferson's own words,
"Equal and exact justice to all
men, of whatever state or per-
suasion. religious or political."

Seeks to Bar
Germans From
U. S. for ioo Yrs.

NEW YORK.—Representative
Samuel Dickstein, chairman of
the House Committee on Immi-
gration and Naturalization, de-
clared that he would introduce
legislation in the near future
designed to prevent the entrance
into the United States of nearly
all Germans for the next 100
years.
Mr. Dickstein discussed his
plans for such a law at the an-
nual meeting of the Ort Coun-
cil of Organization at the Hotel
Pennsylvania. The organization
helps Jewish refugees and war
victims by training them for new
jobs.
The only Germans he would
permit to enter this country, Mr.
Dickstein said, are those who
have been the victims of Nazi
persecution. The quota now per-
mitted Germany, he added, should
be divided among other European
nations with small quotas.
He attacked the present immi-
gration quotas set up in 1924 as
basically unfair to certain coun-
tries. His committee now is in-
vestigating the situation, he said,
and will soon make recommenda-
tions to Congress that will do
away with the present "discrimi-
natory" provisions.
M. Maldwin Fertig, chairman
of the council, also addressed
the meeting, pointing out that
the Ort has completed the 65th
year of its program of training
Jewish men and women in indus-
trial and agricultural skills.
The organization's 1945 cam-
paign quota was announced by
Dr. David Lvovitch, international
vice president of the World Ort
Union, as $2,450,000, of which
$1,550,000 is to be raised in the
United States.

more alive today than ever be-

Asserting that "we must re-
new our faith in democracy,"
Justice Murphy declared that
"one cannot be Christian and be
anti-Semitic.'
Warning that "the hate now
draped over the earth may find
its way to this nation, in a dif-
ferent and perhaps unforseen
way," Judge Murphy said :
"Should it come in the form
of anti-Semitism, we must be
vigilantly on guard. Anti-Semi-
tism is anti-labor, anti-Christian,
anti-Constitution . . . Spritual
upheavals don't happen over
night. Europe for a decade, even
before the rise of Nazism, was
propagandized by wicked forces.
Hitler made anti-Semitism an in-
strument of international poli-
tics."
While urging vigilance against
the rise of bigotry, he declared
that "there is more tenderness
and good will here than anywhere
in the world" and that while
"the evil-doers may have their
hour in the sun" the American
people as a whole will not fol-
low them. He said "the greatest
sin of the people of Europe was
that they failed to act with firm-
ness" against the forces of evil
and that "we must act on time"
against any manifestation of or-
ganizer bigotry and anti-Semi-
tism.
