A great nation gone back to the
dark ages of religious and racial per-
secution-that is the spectacle which
Nazi Germany presents today. On
the other hand, it drives out the lands
greatest men; and on the other, it
forbids Catholic boys to go on hikes,
as Catholics. Can malicious imbecil-
ity go much farther?
Mussolini's mobilization for a row
with ETHIOPIA is bringing some Of the
results suggested on this page weeks
ago. Wholesale prices in that coun-
try have climbed from an index of
260 before Mussolini threw his Afri-
can fet to an index of 325 now. No
corresponding increase in wages has
been heard Of, nor is there anything
to show that the rise has stimulated
production.
The Italian worker never has had a
generous diet Now, he must draw his
belt tighter because III Duce" seeks
glory in tropical Africa. If Mussolini
could be persuaded to lead his troops
in person, all might soon be well.

Comment On World Events

The Nazi government of Germany
has renewed its drive against Jews,
Not so many of that race are being
murdered now as when the NaZi en-
thusiasm was fresh; but they are be-
ing clubbed and otherwise maltreat-
ed on the streets; and the govern
ment boycott on their activities is
making it even more difficult for them
to earn a living. Yet those who leave
Germany are not allowed to take
money or property with them. They
are almost literally between the devil
and the deep sea.
The strangeness of this medieval
persecution is as striking as it's VIC
iousness. Germany is prosecuting the
Jews-but surprising proportion of
German genius and talent of the last
so years has come from Jewish homes.
Einstein, foremost mathematician Of
the world today, is a German Jew;
Willstatter, one of the worlds fore
most chemists is another; and both
have been driven into exile by the
insane brutalities Of the Nazis.
Both were offered personal immu-
nifty to return and resume their teach
ing in Germany; and both refused.
Einsten's answer to the proposal that
he return to the country that was

robbing, imprisoning and numbering
his people is said to have been pictur-
esque as well as forcible.
While exceptional men, these are
not at all exception cases. Germany
has long suffered from the Difference
to big business which reached its
height in this country not long ago;
and Albert Ballin, chief shipmaster
and one of the big financiers of Ger
many, was also Jew. So was Paul
Ehrlich, discoverer of the salvarsan
treatment for syphilis, and Maximil-
ian Harden, the only German publicist
and editor who kept some elements of
sanity during the war period, was not
only Jew but a Polish Jew.
Yet the lunatic malice of German
Naziism is not turned solely against
the Jews. Workers of any creed have
to bear a part of this bedevilment;
and the abolition of German labor
unions and the confscation of their
funds was one of the first blessings
which the Nazis conferred on Ger
many. The latest step Of the insane
regime is to forbid all youth and
athletic societies which have a relig-
ious flavor. The Catholics are feel
ing the club just now, but the Luther
