GERMAN JEWS NOW STRIPPED
OF 95 PCT. OF WEALTH AND
FURTHER DEGREES ISSUED
Liquidation of All Jewish
Business Places Is
Now Called for
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR.
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Dec. 6. (UP)-Eco-
Monies Minister Walther Funk
last night issued decree author
izing the forced liquidation of all
Jewish business places, real estate
and other property in the Nazl
drive to eliminate 100000 German
Jews from economic life.
The decree came as informed
quarters revealed that many Jews
were being forced to make "vol-
untary contributions" ranging up
to $4,000 in some instances in
order to obtain passports for es-
cape from the anti-Semitic cru
SADIE.
Funk's decree permitting the
use of force to "Aryanize" Jewish
property becomes effective as OF
Dec. 3 and before next Sunday all
Jews must surrender their securi-
ties to the Reich Foreign Ex-
change bank, after which no Sc
curity sales will be permitted with
out Funk's special permission.
Jews refusing or failing to sub
nit to the liquidation of their hold
ings will suffer the appointment
of trustees, appointed by Reich
authorities, who will take over the
property.
In order to sell property, all
Jews must obtain government ap-
proval in order to "curb destruc-
tive and irresponsible specula-
tors" ".
Jews were said to have been i'm
formed by Nazi authorities in sew
eral cases that they were under
"pass sperre" passport ban) and
when they protested that their pa
-pers were in order and that for
eign visas had been assured it was
suggested that voluntary con-
tribution" might lift the ban.
Funk's new decree empowering
authorities to order Jews to liqui-
date their businesses, real estate
and other property was believed
to mark the approach of Chancel-
lor Adolf Hitler's promised "final
solution" of the Jewish question.
1t was expected, in its final eff
feet, to completely eliminate Jews
from economic life and prohibit
them from owning property.
The stringent DEGREES. including
forced sales of property, the
new voluntary contributions" the
$400,0O0,000 fine and $200,000,-
900 riot damages assessed against
them and conversion of their prop
erty at almost ruinous devisen
foreign exchange) rates, were es-
timated to have stripped them of
about 95 per cent of their original
holdings. s.
This will have the effect of slow
ing down emigration to other
countries, whatever international
plan of mass migration may be
decided upon.

.FAVORS 4-YEAR
TERM FOR ALL
co. OFFICERS
State Senator-Elect Prince
Holds View But Metz
Committed as Yet

Although he has made no def
mite commitment on the matter,
Senator-elect l.. B. Prince, who
next month will be sworn in as
state senator from the 9th dis
trict, is inclined to favor four
year terms for all Henderson cOun-
ty officers.
Since four-year terms for Sher-
ifs and coroners have been APP
proved by voters of the state, only
three county offices here are not
on a four-year basis. They are
county commissioner, tax collec-
tor. and surveyor, the last a minor
office.
The offices of register of deeds
and clerk of the superior court
have been previously placed on a
four-year basis, and the sheriff
and coroner were added by con-
stitutional amendment in the No
vember election.
Mr.. Prince stated that he had
been giving considerable thought
to the proposition since the pub
LEGATION of an editorial in The
Times-News on the subject. He
stated that he had held number
of conversations with people with
reference to this.
He is inclined to the belief that
the terms of all county officers
should be the same.
Mr.. Prince expresses the opin-
ion that all officers should have
the same terms, and that all coun-
tv officers should be elected at the
off-year election, when there are
no gubernatorial or presidential
candidates to cloud the local is
sues. He is of the opinion that
better local officers can be elected
when local issues alone are the
subject of the campaign.
In his conversations on the sub
ject, Mr.. Prince says that he has
found few people opposed to four.
year terms for the remainder OF
the county offices.
While he is opposed to legislat-
ing longer terms for county Of
fees as a matter of principle, Mr.:
Prince pointed out that this could
be accomplished only by legisla-
tive act.
County officials would give pct
ter service on a four-year basis in
the opinion of Mr.. Prince, since
they would be able to thoroughly
familiarize themselves with their
duties in this longer period, and
the county would be saved the eX-
pense of local election every two
years. ~.
In expressing his views in this
connection. Mr.. Prince stated that
he had not conferred with l.. L.
Burgin, county representative IN
the general assembly, and that the
views expressed were his own and
not necessarily those of his col
league.

ABIDING FAITH
INDEMOCRACY
Touches Caustically at
Chapel Hill on Regimen
tation, Dictatorships
ENLARGES UPON
HIS LIBERAL VIEWS

CHAPEL HILL, Dec. 6. (UP).
Liberalism in government is here
to stay and birth. wealth and po-
litical position no longer carry the
mdisputable right to govern,
President Roosevelt told the ma
ton yesterday in an information
ally broadcast address.
Speaking before the political
forum of North Carolina Univers-
ity where he received an honorary
degree of doctor of laws, the
chief executive reaffirmed the
liberal philosophy of the New
Deal and said that his strongest
conviction is his abiding belief
that the security and well-being
Of the people "can best be served
by the democratic processes which
have made this country strong
and great"
To some observers the speech
carried a decided 1910 campaign
ring although the president at no
point mentioned his possible cam
didacy.
Mr.. Roosevelt stopped off here
enroute to Washington from
Warm Springs, Ca, where he
spent Thanksgiving. He had been
expected to talk on the interna-
tionaf situation but, except for a
few caustic remarks on regimen
tation and relationships, he con-
fined his remarks to domestic is
sues and the future.
Of the international situation,
he said:
There may be those in the
world who believe that a regl-
mented people, whose every
thought and action is directed by
one man, may give some type OF
people q security which is pleas
ing to them. But whatever con-
victions | have, none IS stronger
than my abiding belief that the
security and wal-being of the
American people can best be serv-
ed by the democratic processes"
The president drew on the
words of three men now dead,
Presidents Woodrow Wilson and
Theodore Roosevelt and Associate
Supreme Court Justice BENJAMIN
Cardozo, to elaborate his liberal
philosophy.
The tpitome of what these men
believed in, he said, is first, that
the American people have, and
must have, a definite objective
for the improvement OF govern
ment, for the Improvement OF So
cial and economic conditions;
second, that these detectives must
be carried out by definite action,
an dthira, that in the attaining OF
them, the president and the goVc
eminent and the people as a
whole must have two essential
uualities-first sense of proper
ton and perspective, and second
goodwill and a good sense OF hu-

cratic party was due to the
