Margolis For Overseas Relief NEW YORK—"The strong in- terest which Jews south of the Rio Grande have in aiding their suffering co-religionists in liber- ated Europd is expressed in their eagerness to participate fully in the work of the J.D.C.," Miss Ger- trude D. Pinsky who has just re- turned from four of nine Latin American countries, declared. "The 125,000 Jewish refugees who came to Central and South America since 1933 have become fully integrated into the life of the general and Jewish communi- ties in which they live," Miss Pinsky told a press conference. "Not only have they been instru- mental in improving economic conditions in some areas, but their presence has helped to stimulate, strengthen and rejuvenate Jewish life in some of the countries," Miss Pinsky said. Reporting on the J.D.C. pro- gram in Latin America before she leaves for Paris where she will serve the Joint Distribution Com- mittee as a child-care specialist, Miss Pinsky pointed out that dur- ing the first six months of this year the Jewish communities of 16 Central and South American countries raised close to $200,000 for relief of overseas Jewry. In some countries the Jewish refugees who arrived since 1933 outnumbered the existing Jewish population. More than 5,000 Jews settled in Bolivia since the rise of Hitler; Bolivia had a pre-1933 Jewish population of only 150. Chile now has 12,000 Jewish re- fugees, whereas prior to 1933 there was a Jewish population of 8,000. Now Available! Airy, Spacious Hall For Card Parties, Dances, Games, Banquets.

Rabbi Wise recalled that he had first warned aginst Hitler in 1922 soon after the assassination of Walter Rathenau, the Jewish for- eign minister of the German Re- public, when the American ambas- sador described Hitler as the leader of the gangsters who mur- dered Rathenau. Eleven years later in January, 1933, Hitler became chancellor. Five days before that, Dr. Wise revealed, he sent an emissary to consult with 30 prominent Jews in Germany regarding the Nazi menace; 29 made a contemptuous reply and declared that Wise should not meddle in European Jewries. Now out of the 30, only one is alive, the others were killed by the man, who they said would never come to power. Lists Congress Aims Dr. Wise listed the ideals of the Jewish Congress as: Equal rights, a Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine and Democratic unity. "I claim nothing for myself as a Jew which is not equally the right of every American citizen," declared. the rabbi. "Whenever an American is hurt unjustly there I am hurt. "There is really only one Jew- ish right, the fundamental right of the Jews to live on, to live as a people, "We in Jewish life need Demo- cratic unity. We had a gleam of it at San Francisco when we united on the Human Rights Declaration." Dr. Wise declared that the Jew- ish Congress, which has just been reorganized, would work with other minorities, with labor and with other Jewish groups to safe- guard the rights of all American citizens without regard to race or creed. He declared it was the business of statesmen to keep 7 'danger from the doorstep.
