All Faiths Urge
Establishment of
Refugee Haven

William Randolph Hearst's plan
for the resettlement of refugees
from Central European persecu-
ton in former German colonies
in Africa won praise from coast
to coast today from Jews, Catho,
lies and Protestants in all walks
Of life. >,
1T is a wonderful plan" said
Bernard Baruch, chairman OF
the War Industries Board dur
ing the World War, and out
standing American industrial
list, Except that it should not be
limited solely to Jews. 1t should
be a refuge for all people, colors,
creeds and races for all
refugees.
UNDER A MANDATE
sand it ought, as Mr.. Hearst
says. to be under the mandate
of England, France and the
United States. 1t should be a
refuge for everybody, just as
this country was as founded by
our forefathers."

during which German anti-Semitic
activities were severely criticized.
The British parliamentary de-
bate has had the effect of adding
fuel to the anti-British campaign
here. At the same time, it has
somewhat lessened the campaign
against the United States.
Der Angriff, Propaganda Minis
ter Goebbels' newspaper, led a
general press counter attack today
against Great Britain. It enumer-
ated a series of incidents intended
to illustrate the alleged inhuman-
ity of British colonial methods.
At the same time, however, the
propaganda minister denied re-
ports published abroad that Chan
cellor Hitler might summon the
Reichstag in a special session to
take action in connection with
resentment over the British atti'
tude as expressed in yesterdays
debate on the colonies and aid for
refugees.
Despite resentment over state
ments abroad, Nazi quarters main
tanned today that any outbursts
against the Jews ION public or
private initiative" will be forbid
den because the Jewish problem,
it was said, must be SOLVED
legally"
Nevertheless anti-Jewish steps
continued to be taken today.

for an African homeland in for
mer German colonies, plus those
that may be obtained from Por-
tugal and Belgium.
Lieut.. Col. Julius I. Peyser,
Washington lawyer, said:
ut is a good proposal, and
: should be considered very serl.
: ously by those who have the de-
. cision to make.
/ II would be satisfied with any
plan that would give the retu-
gees the opportunity to live"
. Morris Simon, another well
known Washington attorney
pointing out that the selection Of
q homeland involved technical
ties which could be answered only
by those familiar with the coun
tries involved, declared:
II think Mr.. HearSt's plan is
one of the finest expressions of
. kindness and humanity that I
have heard.

suggestions made for the relief

require a tremendous amount of
work and detail"
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, who visited Palestine
several years ago in the interest
Of prosecuted JeWry, said:
Although I am committed to
the rehabilitation of Palestine,
I believe that there is much to
be said in support of Mr..
Hearst's plan. 1t has a great
deal of merit"
Representative Sol Bloom, Jew
Ish Congressman from New York
declared:
1T think the plan which Mr..
Hearst presented over the radio
on Saturday night explains
thoroughly what should be done
to provide a homeland for per-
secuted Jews.
COMMITTEE NEEDED
ITO those who might object
that Africa is an out-of-the-way
place I would like to say this,
remember that Jerusalem also
is in a far-away place. The only
thought I have is that the ma
tons of the world should unite
for future protection of that
land, to prevent its being built
up by the Jewish people and
later having someone come
along and say Well take it
now"
IT think also, after studying
Mr.. Hearst's speech, that a
humanitarian committee COM
posed of every industry, farm
ing, business, should be formed.
Let them look up every angle OF
Mr.. Hearst's plan and decide II
this is the solution to the grave
problem the world has today at
her doorstep.
II also think Mr.. Hearst could
serve as an advisor to this po-
tential committee, to. give Valu-
able ideas and advice.
Ending, would like to say
that I believe the Jewish people
of the world owe this man sin
cere thanks for the great work
he has done for humanity in
presenting this plan to the
world"
"a GREAT IDEA"
Rex Beach, well-known author
said:
Its a great idea. Any posi-
bility of finding a homeland for
Jewish refugees should be care
fully considered"
The Rev. Charles MacFarland
secretary of the Fedora
Council of Churches of Christ, de
clared:
MIR. Hearst is right when he
says the civilized nations have a
high moral obligation to get the
Jews out of Germany and help
them find a place where they
can earn a decent and respect
able livelihood"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-11-22


these proposals give us jews a
feeling of gratitude in the know
ledge that people, such as Mr..
Hearst, are taking the plight Of
the Jews into consideration.
"The only hope for the Jew,
in my opinion, is from decent
thinking, humanitarian Chris.
tians."
Representative Bruce Barton, OF
New York, well-known author and
advertising man, had this to say:
. 1.-THE problem of refugees is
too great for any one country to
possibly handle alone. Such
plan as Mr.. Hearst's, which
, would be an international I'M
. dertaking, is undoubtedly the
only approach to the problem"

BARON LOUIS SEIZED
Among those expected to be hit
by the latest blow against the Ger
man and Austrian Jews, it is be-
lieved here, is Otto Rothschild,
one Of the Viennese representa-
tiveS of the international bankers.
Last March, following the an
nexation of Austria by Adolf
Hitler, Baron Louis de Rothschild,
head of the Viennese branch Of
the fabulously-wealthy family, was
arrested by the Nazis. In october
it was reported the price Of his
release from the Hotel Metropole
in Vienna, where he had been in
protective custody" was 100000
pounds sterling, about $3,000,000.
ALTERNATIVE PRISON
Whether the ransom has ever
been paid is not known. At the
time the money was demanded by
the Gestapo, the secret German
police, it was reported the alterna-
tive for the nobleman was i'm
prisonment at Dauchau, one Of
the most dreaded Nazi concentra-
ton camps.
The Viennese Rothschilds, who
owned Credit-Anstalt, largest bank
in the Danube region, nearly went
bankrupt before the Germans
took over Austria. A near-panic
in May of 1881 was averted by the
government when loans of large
size were made to the financial
institution.
