HINT-OF- THE-DAY
To Keep Eyes Sparkling

Eyes-the windows of the soul
are the most important feature Of
the face. To keep the eyes clear
and bright requires constant atten-
ton, especially if you are outdoors
much during the day, or work in
an office under artificial light.
An eye wash is as important as
a soap and water cleansing for your
face. Make it habit to cleanse
the eyes in the morning, as regular
ly as you cleanse your skin.
An excellent eye bath is herbal
compound that soothes and cleanses
the eyes in a magical way. There
is an eye cup attached to the top
of the bottle.
Another phase of eye health and
beauty has to do with your eyelids.
Crepey eyelids detract from your
beauty and can be prevented. There
is cream especially blended for
the eyelids which really does the
work. You simply smooth it on the
lids and leave it there over night.
It helps replenish the oils which
have dried out and restores the nat
ural, youthful skin texture.

WASHINGTON. - Press service
wires and cables and radio from
abroad have been clogged for sew
eral weeks with hundreds of thou
sands of words about the plight Of
the Jews in Germany; about the
abuses visited upon the Jewish race
by the European mailman, Hitler,
and his camp followers; about the
humanitarian pleas Of our own Pres
ident, Mr.. Roosevelt, for appease-
ment of the conditions. There has
been what I believe to be one of the
greatest waves of emotion, waves of
resentful national sentiment, that
this country ever has known. / re-
call none like it, none as overwhelm-
ing, none as deep-seated as that
through which we have been pass
ing, and in my opinion our nation
should have resented such outrages.
While no one with a heart can fail
to grieve to a greater or less extent
about the indescribable harshness,
the unforgivable meanness of Hitler.
it occurs to me that we should begin
to temper these waves of emotion
somewhat. There are other factors
to be considered, factors and conse-
quences of the thing that is now
called "the Jewish problem" that
require calm reasoning. In other
words, let us say that America is
and must remain for Americans,
and charity, while it is sweet, can
not be exploited, or carried to ex-
tremes simply because we feel a
sadness for group upon whom an
injustice has been sent. Like mill
lions of other Americans, am hope
full that some way will be found to
aid the Jews who are being driven
out of Germany, but I am unwilling
that we, as nation, shall create
additional and unwarranted difficult
ties for ourselves by extending
helping hand. Therefore, the United
States must not be the goat.
1t is one thing to render aid. It is
quite another thing to inject into our
own bloodstream of national life adj
ditional elements without knowing
what those elements are. After all,
the damage is something that we
did not cause; the injured are peo-
pie who have no knowledge of our
way of doing things and may never
cooperate with us, and we must
prevent being dragged into the 9TH
er fellows fist fight.

Purge of German JeWs an
Exposition of Mad P0lver

suppose there are very few per-
sons in the United States who do
not believe that Hitler's purge" of
German Jews constitutes a blot
upon modern civilization. / know
that leading Germans in the United
States wish there were ways and
means to stop the action. There
can be no defense of the outright
seizure of $500, 100000 of money
from the Jews of Germany under
the guise of a ''fine" although there
is lesson of warning in it. Like
wise, none can convince me that
Hitler has kept his underlings free
of graft and corruption in this or
other dictatorial actions. Those in
power in Germany are garnering
the gold for themselves-or else we
are witnessing the activities of
angels whose purposes we, as hui
man beings, are unable yet to un-
derstand. do not believe they are
angels. The purge" of German
Jews, therefore, must be accepted
as the exposition of mad power.

movement to maintain support for

any place or at any time, there

Those causes, however, do not
help us in the solution of the Jewish
problem. The unwanted race is SIM
ply the victim and a knowledge of
how its members have had the suffer-
ings brought upon them adds little or
nothing to the search for a method
to protect their lives. Where are
they to 60? That is the real ques-
ton. Hitler doesn't care where they
go or what happens to them. Some
one else has to lead the way. Our
nation has joined in that leadership,
and rightly so. But we have policies
and principles and traditions which
must be respected. If, in our eager
ness to help the German Jews, we
should transgress those established
principles, then we, as well as the
Jews, will have to pay penalty.

Refugees Likely to Create
A Disturbing Influence

In consideration of whether we
ought to let a deluge of refugees
enter, I cannot help thinking of a
possible spread of trouble. For ex-
ample, if our definite national posi-
ton of protest against Hitler's poll
cies should bring retaliation, every
Jewish refugee allowed in this coun-
try would be clamoring for the Unit
ed States to take revenge on Ger
many and Hitler. Their influence
would be great because they could
tell what happened to them and give
an idea of what is happening. You
and and millions of others would
believe first hand Information.
There is no doubt about it. The
germ of trouble could be incubated
ten times more rapidly; instead of
staying out of European troubles,
we would be pushed in deeper and
deeper.
AS far as relations between Ger
many and the United States are
concerned at the moment, all that
can be said is that the United States
has let the world know of its dis
approval. When Ambassador Viii
son was recalled, it was just the
same as saying to the world of ma
tons that Uncle Sam hasn't any
respect for Hitler.

Only Congress Can Let
DoIUn immigration Bars

Behind the scenes of the irnmi-
grafton restriction also was deter
mination on the part of Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania,
then a senate power, to prevent in
PRODUCTION into the United States Of
all kinds of "isms." The senator
foresaw the spread of radicalism by
means of entry of the European
backwash and rubbish. There was
not much discussion of this phase
because our government did not
want to offend any foreign nation.
1t was basic reason, however, and
it is too bad that it was not given
more public consideration.
Fortunately, there can be no
change in the number of foreigners
admitted from any nation without
action by congress. The United
States can take only so many
something like 10000 a year-of
those purged Jews, unless congress
amends the law. And when say it
is fortunate that there must be ac-
ton by congress before there can
be a change in policy, mean no
differences.
I believe Mr.. Roosevelt is emf
nently correct when he says that
there must be Homeland" estab-
lished for the Jews. The British
tried to make Palestine that sort of
a base, it will be remembered, but
they failed because Arabs don't like
Jews. This experience then would
seem to point to the necessity for
the Jews being colonized quite
alone." If the United States can ex-
tend help in doing that job, there
ought to be no criticism of the
course, even if it involves financial
assistance. It would be a charity
worthwhile, and charity that would
not involve us later on. repeat that

the case of a racial question, es-
pecially with regard to the Jewish
race.
We ought not kid ourselves. There
are many persons swearing ale
glance to the United States who do
not like Jews. Those persons may
be otherwise good citizens, but they
distrust Jew because he is a Jew,
making no distinction between in
dividuals. 1t is stating nothing new
to say that there has been almost a
steady undercurrent of criticism Of
Mr.. Roosevelt from certain quarters
because Jews have been given
prominent places in the New Deal.
! think it is not stretching the imag-
ination at all, therefore, to point to
the Jewish problem as one that may
become involved in politics at some
future time, although I hope it new
er does.
Mr.. Roosevelt has proposed re-
moval Of some of the immigration
restrictions as a means of bringing
into this country more German Jews
than our immigration laws now per-
init. In so doing, he verged on poll
tics himself. Any one familiar with
the debates on immigration policies
in the early 1920s must recall the
severity of that battle. The issue
was whether we, as nation, were
going to be haven for all corners and
just hope that they would do things
the American way, or whether we
should restrict the number coming
here to live to number which could
be absorbed into our national life.
Labor unions and most employers
favored the restrictions, and when
we think of the number of unem-
ployed in the last five or six years
people fed and clothed by the fed
eral governmental appears that
we allowed too many to come in. 1t
seems we could have excluded all Of
them to advantage.
