FOUR PIckETS JAILED AFTER
DAW00D Warrant Is ISSUED
Minister Flags Jewish Exploitation Of Race;
Levels Blast At Congressman Dies, Committee

The Rev. A. C. williams. pastor
OF Metropolitan Baptist church.
Hastings. near Palmer. makes the
following answer to an Associated
Negro Press article which was pub
lished in a recent issue OF the De-
troit Tribune. The Rev. Mr.. VIII
liams writes:
Last week there appeared in the
Detroit Tribune an article under
the signature of the Associated
Negro Press. discussing proposed
congressional committee probe in
to the Negro's anti-Jewish cam
paign. The article stated that this
supposed anti-Jewish movement
among Negroes Is led by some Ne
groes who are playing directly in
to Nazi-Fascist hands by staging
anti-Jewish campaigns. 1t stated
that in Chicago within recent
months, there has developed an in
tense anti-Jewish attitude led by
the editor OF small give-away
weekly paper called Dynamite"
aud that the movement resulted
.l.,xnly from dissatisfaction with
Jewish owners OF stores and apart
ment buildings on the South Side.
The article stated that the congress
sionaI committee. headed by Re-
preventative Martin Dies. Texas
Democrat, intends to find out
whether the movement Is being IL
nanced by Nazi-Fascists propon-
cnts.
The article swings out from the
Chicago instance into a discussion
OF the general conclusion that
when Negroes assume an attitude
OF opposition to the exploiting
methods which most Jews prac-
tice upon them throughout the
country. they play into the hands
OF the general enemies OF the Jews
and OF Democracy. It further
claims that the Jew has been the
Negroes benefactor wherever the
two have met with each other In
the world OF economic struggle. ]
think that the conclusion Is far
fetched and illogical. Anyone who
knows anything OF the experience
OF Jews In relation to Negroes In
our various American urban GEN.
tiers knows that the Jew has no re-
spect for Negroes. and Is guided by
no sense OF ethical obligation. This
may or may not be the Negroes
own fault. but the quicker Negroes
come to realize the fact that the
Jews generally do not believe In
nor respect anybody who does not
believe In and respect a dollar the
better It will be for him.
The Jews as a people are not
generally responsible for this type
OF psychology which characterize
their conduct. 1t has been forced

Defective teeth and infected ton

The children had been examined
