LISBON (JTA) — Jews and
'Aryans" alike, who are intern-
ed in Spain as political refugees
from Germany or Nazi-occupied
countries, are now being handed
over to the German authorities
by the Franco government for
transportation to Eastern Euro-
pean territory for forced labor
there. No distinction is made be-
tween men and women, the re-
port says. All interned refugees
are delivered by the Spanish
police to a special Gurman re-
"cruiting office established in
Spain for the purpose of secur-

There's a vital issue here —
namely, whether or not the Amer-
ican Jews as a group can produce
evidence of the fact that we are
doing our part. If the time should
ever arise, there must be facts
and figures to show that the Jews
of America, the Jews of Michi-
gan have done more than their
share in buying United States
War Savings Bonds and Stamps.
No one is forcing you to buy
United States War Savings Bonds
and Stamps . . . that's one of the
privileges you enjoy under a de-
mocracy. No one is using force,
but there's a moral conscience
that should be utilized to see that

human being." For that right, no
sacrifice is too great. Frankly, the
sacrifices you are asked to make

cant as compared to the hard-

today in war-torn Europe, etc.,
