Marches on Washington Are Over.


One of the important matters in con-
nection with the use of troops to eXpel
the bonus marchers from the Capital
is the precedent thus established, and,
in the same connection, decision as to
what future policy will be adopted by
the authorities in dealing with new
groups of "marchers" who may decide
to come to washington.
Whether there will be new march
of khaki shirts" or other groups as
sembled under other banners remains,
of course, to be seen. Press dispatches
report sporadic attempts here and there
to organize such movements and some
small bodies of men are reported
actually to have started.
If, as In the case Of other marches"
new movements gain adherents and
substantial bodies Of men approach
Washington, a plan should be adopted
In advance for dealing with them.
The Governors of the States should,
In the first place, use every means at
their disposal to discourage any such
movements at the outset. Many Gov
ernors, in the case of the bonus pill
griInage, facilitated the movement by
the provision Of necessary transporta-
ton through the States, while some Of
the railroads followed suit by permit
ting use of freight trains to carry the
marchers.
But since that time the situation
has changed materially. The resort to
use Of troops in Washington to get the
remnants of the army out of town
has emphasized, as nothing else could,
the dangerous results of permitting the
congregation of new groups in the Cap
ital. And if any one ever actually be-
Iieved that there was semblance of
logic or reason to justify such pill
grimages to Washington for the
presentation of petitions or demands
upon Congress, the mere fact that Con-
gress has adjourned removes that ex-
euse The only purpose of marches
upon Washington now will be that of
infaming the sentiments Of the people
against the Government, of creating
disturbance and of inviting disorder.
The authorities in the States and In
the cities should use all the lawful
means at their disposal to prevent the
congregation of new groups bent upon
such pilgrimages and, as matter OF
common sense, should withhold from
them any such material encouragement
as the provision of food and transpor-
tation.
Should the groups, despite such in
reference, reach the Capital, however,
the events of the past few days indicate
the nature of the policy that must be
adopted TO stop them. II they have
no visible means Of support, II they
have no quarters on private property to
house them and If they lack the means
OF providing themselves with food and
of complying with all sanitary and
other regulations of the municipality,
they should not be permitted 10 enter
the city.
The end of tolerant dealing with
itinerant tramps and idlers, as well as
bonus marchers, has come. The police
are clearing the streets and the parks
OF the city that for many months now
have been occupied by idle men. This
laws against soliciting aims and against
vagrancy are to be enforced. And If the
Governors of the States have not lost
their reason, there will be no new oc-
casion for calling out the soldiers.

Hitler Denounced
For Anti-Semitic Stand.

Israel's Messenger, Shanghai-Anti-
Semitic agitation in Berlin is taking
greater proportions, largely as result
of the activities Of Hitler and his satel
lites, who are damaging GermanyS
reputation and credit abroad. The
modern Haman wishes to learn nothing
from history, ancient or modern. He
is bent upon challenging the fate of the
old Haman, whose execution on the
gallows as a result of his intrigues
against the Jews is narrated in the
Book of Esther and which We read in
the synagogues last month.
Hitler, while rising in glory for a
while, sinks hopelessly in pride. Mean
while, we cannot help drawing the at
tention Of our readers to- two items
filtering from Berlin.
Item one: THE city OF Berlin ap-
proves plans to erect and maintain
much-needed dental clinic with funds
donated by Julius RosenWald
Item two: The University of Berlin
is ordered closed after an anti-Semitic
attack in which six students are Seri-
OuSly wounded"
What a '.beautiful' picture! And yet
not bad one when we come to think
OF the manner in which We Jews con-
tribute our share toward humanizing
our neighbors who think i'll of US re-
ceive the best and return the worst!
How long is this drama going to last?
When will the world begin to realize its
folly and get reconciled to the Jew?
There may be Joy in suffering, because
suffering Is part of the divine idea"
but there must be a limit to Israel's
martydom. The length of our Gaiuth
is sapping our energy and vitality and
leaving behind many scar and lar.
