lied an anti-semitic news agency and

of all central European countries.

Henry Ford is cooperating with the
anti-semitic organization in Switzer-
land. If these statements be true,
that is to say based on facts and we
are inclined to believe that they are,
then we know at least what we have
to do at the present juncture. 1t will
be our business to watch closely the
happenings in Switzerland and to
keep our own government we'll in

able that pressure will have to be
brought on the Swiss government to
deny the right of asylum to anti-sem-
itic conspirators on Swiss territory. 1t
may be our business to see to it that
the anti semitic conspirators be driven
from Switzerland. Our first task must
be to cause the dissolution of the cen
trail anti-semitic organization in Swift
zerland. When this organization is
once broken up, then we may be able
to meet our deadly enemies separate
ly and it stands to reason that it is
easier to beat him separately than
when united. The American Jewish
public must be greatly obliged to DR..
O. Green for the valuable informa-
ton he brought to the American Jew
ish leaders, concerning the organiza-
ton of the anti-semitic movement in
Europe.

NEW YORK CITY WITHHELD
FROM DISTINGUISHED
GUESTS

Alderman Louis Zeltner, Moritz
Grauberd and Sammuel R. Norris, in
troduced resolution in the Board of
Aldermen which extended the free
dom of the city to the distinguished
Jews from abroad. The resolution was
however, blocked by Alderman Bruce
M. Falconer who pretended to be ig-
norant of the identity of the visitors
and claimed that until he learned
more about them he would object to
the motion. No amount of argument
having dissuaded the unenlightened
Alderman from his stand, the Board
found itself compelled to carry the
resolution over for a special meeting
which is being held on Friday morn
ing. Leading Jews in this city are
convinced that the attempt Of Mr..
Falconer was deliberate and was
prompted by nothing less than an
anti-Semitic sentiment.

If they Can't Have the City They Can

New York q. G. b. Servlce)
The failure Of the Board of Alder
men of New York City to extend the
freedom of the city to Professors AL
bert Einstein and Chain Weizmann,
two of the most distinguished living
scientists and undoubtedly the most
prominent Jews alive today, prompted
the Senate of the State of New York
to adopt resolution granting them
the freedom of the entire State of
New York, according to a dispatch
from Albany. The resolution was in
troduced by Senator Nathan Straus,
Jr., and read as follows:
"Whereas, Albert Einstein of
Switzerland and Chain Weizmann of
Great Britain are now visiting our
State; and
whereas, the purpose of their visit
is to cement the bonds Of unity be-
tween the United States and her
neighbors abroad in the great strug-
gle for human progress and happi-
ness, and especially to unite the old
world and the new in establishing a
cultural centre for the Jews of the
world in Palestine; and
"Whereas, the achievements of DR..
Einstein in the spheres of physics and
astronomy have commanded the at
tention and the admiration of the
entire civilized world, and the record
of DIR. Weizmann as a chemist during
the World War has made the people

history of the forged protocols OF
the Elders of Zion. Bernstein
traces the story to a German
story originally published in 1870
and contained in a novel by Her
man Goedsche who wrote under
an assumed name. In support OF
his claims Mr.. Bernstein repro
duces some original documents
and reprints which have never
previously appeared in English.
Mr.. Bernstein then shows how
the Protocols were revived IN
Russia with the idea of counter
acting the threatening advance OF
revolutionary progress. 1t IS
characteristic of Mr.. Bernsteln>s
book "The History of a Lie" that
he makes no reference to the
owner of the Dearborn indie
pendent.

"Whereas, it is the desire of the
Commonwealth of New York to make
these distinguished visitors feel that
every true American heart goes out
to them in cordial welcome; there
fore,
"Be it resolved, that (if the Assem-
bly, concurs) the people Of the State
of New York extend to DR.. Einstein
and DR.. Chain Weizmann and their
associates the hand clasp of fellow
ship and a heartfelt welcome"
By the time the Senate had adopt
ed the resolution, the State Assembly
had already adjourned. It's sponsors,
however, expressed confidence that
the House would follow the example
of the Senate and unanimously en-
dorse the act of honoring these noted
guests to America.

 to Cotton Farmer
By Associated Press

Washington, June 2S.--Methods, Of affording relief 10 the cotton growers of, the south were considered at a meeting today of senators. from the southern states with Secretaries Wal lace and Hoover
 The situation confronting the cot ton growers was canvassed from all angles and it was agreed that some means of relief must be immediately attempted. The two cabinet members were said to have agre d to the sus sestion forwarded by the southern senators that means be found to en- able banks to mak an extension on the cotton paper now held and also to place additional credit at the hands of the growers.
 The general belief of those partici patng in the conference was des- cribed as favorable to consideration of the plight of the cotton growers imm ediateIy. the situation facing tho cattle growers otHthe west having been alleviated. It was not believed that additional legislation would be necessary and it was thought that action by Congress should he avoided iu tho interest of speed.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
 ANTl-BEER MEASURE
 By Associated Press

Washington, June 22.--A threatened tangle over anti-beer legislation was cleared away today by the house judi ciary committee which unapim ously reported the Willis-C Campbell bill, designed to prevent promulgation of beer for the sick regulations by the bureau of internal revenue.
 Machinery. was immediately set in motion for it's early passage by the House, probably on Monday. As the measure embraces only the uncon- troverted sections of the Volstead supplemental bill against which pro- tests were made by industries per mited to use alcohol, practically all opposition was removed, and leaders said the House would pass it in an hour and by an overwhelming vote.
 The committee adopted an amend ment by Chairman Volstead to meet q situation created by recent decision of the supreme court which held in effect that revenue laws applicable to the manufacture, taxation and traffic in intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes were no longer in force.
 The amendment would specifically continue in force all su.h legislation, both as to beverage and non- beverage liquors. Prosecution under an inter- nal revenue law, however, would bar prosecution under any section of the Vo'stead act for the same offense.
