Two Jewish Financiers Presaged
Churchill's Greatness, Letter Tells
Sir Winston, Churchill's long
and strenuous political career -
has had many ups and downs. A
reminder of one of the "downs"
is found in a letter preserved at
the American Jewish Archives,
the historical research institute
on the Cincinnati campus of the
Hebrew Union College - Jewish
Institute of Religion.
It was written by Sir Ernest
Cassel, distinguished British Jew
of German origin, to Jacob Schiff,
one of early 20th-century Amer-
ican Jewry's leading personali-
ties.
Both Schiff and Cassel were
important figures in the world of
finance—Schiff in New York and
Cassel in London.
Cassel, whose intimacy with
King Edward. VII brought him
social eminence, corresponded
regularly with Schiff, and on Nov.
15, 1915, in the dark days of
the First World War, he. wrote
to . Schiff:
"You will see that Winston
Churchill has left the Cabinet
and' is going to rejoin the
Army. I • am very sorry, as I
look upon him as one of our
best men. With faults, I think,
but who is without them? In
initiative and working power I
place him more highly than
anyone left in the Cabinet."
Churchill had resigned from
the British Cabinet two days be-
fore this letter was written.
The association between Schiff
and Cassel had drawn closer
some years before when Cassel
rescued Schiff's daughter (later
Mrs. Felix Warburg) while the
families were mountain climbing
in Switzerland.
Both men were great philan-
thropists, but when it came to
Jewish interests their paths di-
verged.
Schiff was the outstanding
Jewish layman in America in his
day; Cassel was estranged from
Judaism, although his grand-
daughter, Countess Mountbatten,
who • was connected by marriage
with , the British Royal Family,
showed herself warmly sympa-
thetic to Jewish causes.
`No Crime to Call Yourself Nazi'
Virginia Upholds Rockwell Char
The ,State of Virginia has de
fended its issuance of a charter
to the American Nazi Party
headed by George Lincoln Rock-
well after Gov. J. Lindsay A1 7
mond had come under attack
of Joseph
F. Barr, national exec-
.
utive director of the Jewish War
Veterans.
Ralph T. Catterall of the state's
corporation commission said, "It
is not a crime to call yourself a
Nazi; criminality stems from acts
and not from words."
The commission had issued the
charter to Rockwell's group on
March 14 as a matter of routine,
according to the commissioner.
"Approval of the charter is auto-
matic to all who file proper .
papers and pay statutory fees,"
he said.
Barr had first requested Al-
mond to "review the- charter in
terms of the history, conduct and
avowed purpose" of the Nazi
party.
The charter states its goal is to
gain political power "by all legal
means."
The party's headquarters is
based in Virginia, according to
Rockwell, with 96 members.
"There are about 500 other mem-
bers throughout the nation," -says
the self-styled fuehrer, "plus sev-
eral million who are with us."
:Barr complained to Alinond
that the charter gives' Rockwell
grounds to contend his movement
is a legal party with laWful
status in Virginia while it "incul-
Cates the foreign subversive
ideology of Nazism."
:Meanwhile, a reply from Cat-
feral" further incensed Barr to
the point of filing another protest
with Governor Almond. •
:-Catterall had written Barr,
"What would you .say if Bnai
Brith applied for a 'charter and
we turned it down until evidence
was presented that none of the
incorporators entertained any
opinions that we did not agree
with?"
. Barr, in his letter to Almond,
termed Catterall's expressions "an

He explained that he was w ting
the governor personal b ause
the issue was one "fo t e hid

and not for Catterall, w ppar-
ently does not apprecia what
the term 'public policy' means."
He emphasized that Virginia's
defense of the charter as "legal"
was a desecration of the graves
of the thousands of soldiers who
lie buried in Arlington National
Cemetery near Rockwell's Nazi
headquarters.

ADL Opposes
US Loans for
Church Schools
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
Anti - Defamation L e a g u e of
Bnai Brith announced support of
President Kennedy's program of
Federal aid to education and its
opposition to either grants or
loans to elementary and secon-
dary schools outside the • public
school system. At the same time,
it urged an early court • test of
the constitutionality of, govern-
ment s loans to parochial schools
so that "the issue of separation
of church and state can be _re-
moved from the discussion of
p'ublic policy in relation to such
loans."
The announcement was made
by Henry E. Schultz, national
chairman of the League,. follow-
ing action taken by the organiza-
tion's national executive com-
mittee. In arriving at its decision,
Schultz declared that the League's
executive "urged all Americans
to be extremely sensitive to ef-
forts which circumvent, dilute, or
chip away at the basic concept of
the separation of church and
state."
"We believe that independent
schools and' church controlled
schools also have important con-
tributions to make to American
life. But these contributions must
be made independently and not
with the financial assistance of
government," Schultz said. He
emphasized that "the public
schools are the public's business
and the private schoolS are not."
"We believe that the granting
of government aid to private, sec-
tarian or parochial schools would
inevitably set up a race among
religious groups to establish
competing school systems. Such
a development would inevitably
weaken the public schools as a
unifying force in American life,
and as a place where young
Americans of diverse backgrounds
learn to live together," the ADL
Meader stressed..
