PITTSBURGH, Nov. 25.-Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York,
deplored today what he termed
"brutalities" in Germany and urged
Americans to help rescue the vic
tins of Nazi oppression" and pre-
serve "our democracy against the
vicious forces seeking its destruc-
ton"
In a message to the annual con-
vention of Junior Hadassah, young
women's Zionist organization, the
Mayor declared no group of repre-
sentative citizens could meet today
without considering the tragic
plight of our fellow men in Ger
many" He added:
"All true Americans must feel
deep sense of outrage at the brutali-
ties directed against an innocent
and helpless section of the German
population and brand this brutality
as a war upon humanity and a
challenge to civilization.
What is happening to the Jews
OF Germany is symbolic of the
method and purpose of Nazism which
is seeking not only the destruction
of the Jews but the downfall Of
civilized society.
while the most brutal crimes
have been directed against the Jews
the Nazi war is also directed against
Christianity. - hope that Amer

voice their adherence but volunteer
their support to a program for the
rescue of the victims of Nazi oppres-
sion and for the preservation of our
democracy against the vicious forces
seeking its destruction"

await the outcome of the "fateful
conversations" between Chancellor
Hitler and Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain on the explosive
Czech crisis.
Don't allow yourselves to be

Better to Fight Now
Than Later, Is View
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

PARIS, Sept. II Q.N.S0.-The
patience of France neared the
breaking point today as the Brit
ish cabinet ponderously debated
the Czechoslovak crisis and re
ports from Central Europe told
of a growing German determine
tion to see the problem solved only
as Reichs-Fuehrer Hitler wants It,
with no compromise.
The growing popular feeling
that if France must fight lit will
be better to do so now than later
was reflected in the Echo De Paris
by Pertinax, well-informed COM
mer.tator, whose views often rep
resent those of the foreign office.
Oct. / Deadline
In his conversation with Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain at
Berchtesgaden, Pertinax said, Hit
ler gave Britain and the rest Of
Europe until october l to settle
the problem or he would under
take to do so by force.
Editors Note-In an erCluStre
dispatch from London yesterday,
international NetUS SerUtce re-
Uedled that Hitler had demanded
return of the purely GermGnic
regions of Sudeten CsechoSloU1ktG
6y that date or Germany 1DOuld
use all the means at her COM
ndnd to GchieUe this end.)
Warns of Peril
Granting of Hitler'S demands,
Pertinax warned, will mean real
ization of former Kaiser Wilhelm's
dream of "Mittel- Europa" under
the domination of Berlin, with
the downfall of the French and
British empires inevitable if the
democratic powers now capitulate.
Pertinax took sharp issue with
observers who believe Britain
and France have something to
gain by waiting.
From this moment onward"
he wrote, "all discussions in
the crisis should be dominated
by the British and French
general staffs. They should de-
termine just how the military
power of Germany and Italy
is distributed on one side and
the full strength of the western
powers on the other.
France Won't Yield
ut must be determined how
things will shape up if these
two elements clash with one
another, Franco British policy
should be adapted to the teach
ings of the military Staffs.
IF it is necessary to fight, 1t
will be better to do so now than
later. Unless my knowledge OF
the French people is wrong, they
will not now consent to capitula-
ton"

BERLIN, Sept. 17-Q.N.S0,
Relentless American police have
finally caught up with DR.. Ignatz
T. Griebl, fugitive from New York,
who is under indictment with II
others for espionage in America.
Griebl, labelled principal con-
spirator" in the sensational spy
case, underwent a long quiz by
three American detectives at a
secret session in Berlin yester-
day, but, realizing the futility Of
trying to extradite the fugitive,
the Americans were forced to re-
lease him.
DEPOSITION SOUGHT
Circumstances Of the meeting
indicated that a bargain may
have been struck between the
detectives and Griebl, since he
left Berlin last night and pre-
sumably went to Vienna.
He consented, under a guaran-
tee that he would not be molested,
to talk with the Americans.
They endeavored to extract
sworn testimony from Griebl for
presentation to the U. S. courts in
the form of deposition. Whether
they succeeded was not ascer-
tanned.
