US Group Distributes
Anti-Semitic Leaflets

NEW YORK, (JTA)—An
American pro-Hitler party
which calls itself the Nation-
al Renaissance Party, is dis-
tributing anti-Semitic leaflets
in connection with Hitler's
65th birthday.
The so-called party, headed
by James H. Madole, with
headquarters in Beacon, N.Y.,
disseminates leaflets attack-
ing "international Jewish
communism" as a "danger to
Aryan civilization." The
sheets assert that Hitler was
the first "Aryan statesman"
to fight this "mortal enemy
of mankind" and attacks the
Western Allies for opposing
Hitlerism.

"On this day, new basic rights
will be added to those which
hospitable countries granted to
the victims of persecution seek-
ing asylum on their soil. These
basic rights have now been cod-
ified and even extended, in the
social and economic fields, by
this convention. It will supersede
former international agreements
concerning refugees. It estab-
lishes a new travel document for
them. It entrusts the UN High
Commissioner with the super-
vision of its application."
In addition to the seven
above-named countries that have
ratified or acceded to the con-
vention, the following states
have signed it: Austria, Brazil,
Colombia, France, Greece, the
Holy See, Israel, Italy, Liechten-
stein, Netherlands, Swede n,
Switzerland. Turkey, and Yugo-
slavia.
It puts refugees on an equal
footing with nationals in the
right to public relief, the prac-
tice of religion and elementary
education. It establishes the
principle that refugees should
at least be granted treatment
not less favorable than that ac-
corded to foreigners generally in
such matters as "the right to en-
gage in wage-earning employ-
ment."

Camping As a Road
To Good Citizenship

w 0

The United Nations High Com-
missioner for Refugees, Dr. G. J.
Van Heuven Goedhart, said:
"This 22nd April will deserve its
modest place in history. Al-
though it will not be marked by
celebrations or parades, it is a
day of great significance to hun-
dreds of thousands of people
who, although living in differ-
ent countries, have one thing in
common: they are refugees.
