Bishop Oxnam Hits Bigotry,
Warns of Spread of Nazism

Americans Who Discriminate Against Jews Are Nazis, He
Writes in October American Magazine; Claims
Intolerance Springing up in U. S.

NEW YORK, (JTA)A plea for Americans td beware of
the seedlings of intolerance, bigotry and greed prevalent in the
U. S., is made by Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, president of the Fed-
eral Council of the Churches of Christ in. America, in an article
in the October American Magazine.
. _Bishop Oxnam says he wishei it were so, as "we contentedly
"imagine now that Germany is deStroyed and the vicious leaders of
the Nazi party dead or imprisoned, that Nazism has perished from
the face •.of _the earth." But, he writes: "Nazism is not merely a
political philosophy or a system of government. It • is a condition
of the human heart, a state of mind.
• "It i„,s man's inhumanity to man masquerading in a brown or
a black shirt, or even in the white collar of respectability. This
state of _ mind breeds sin,., bigotry, intolerance, selfishness, greed,
cruelty, Godlessness. In Germany we saw Nazism in full flower—
a poisonous flower. We saw it in its organized form. In .America
we see only its little seedlings, here and there, unrecognized for
what they are. Beware of them.
"The man who excludes .a Negro from any of the privileges
of this democracy, who connives with a real-estate agent to exclude
a Jew from a neighborhood, who sets up barriers against any
human being because of his race or his creed, is a Nazi. He is an
oppressor of peoples, an enemy of freedom, a bigot. He is laying
the foundation for lynchings, riots, and the enslavement of his
fellow man."

South African Nationalists Agitating For Expulsion of Refugees
J O H A N N E S B URG, South Africa, (JTA)—German-Jewish
refugees who were admitted to South Africa on temporary visas
after they fled from the Nazis, and whose permits were extended
during the war,' are concerned over the increasing agitation by na-
tionalist elements, who are demanding that they be ousted.
Many of the immigrants served in the Union's armed forces
and others have established industries and commercial enterprises.
Most of them want to become naturalized. The refugees are plac••
ing their hopes on Prime • Minister Smuts and his United Party,
since Smuts has frequently voiced his sympathy with, and admira-
tion for, the Jews and is aware of their contributiAms to South Africa.
