He is tremendously fond of

BARONESS Won BELOW, who
ID is noted for her dry wit and
sparkling humor and also the
faculty to command any Situa-
tion, found herself completely
out-generaled the other night at
the Cuban Embassy party. 1t
seemed that the Baroness was
chaperoning a nephew of hers
from Charleston, S. c., to this
particular party.
Also, as the Baroness re
marked along about 2:30 in the
morning, she had most unhap-
PLY mentioned the fact that
guests at the Cuban Embassy
were oftentimes asked for break
fast. This was the best news
that the Baroness nephew had
heard in years, and very
promptly he vanished fro m
sight into the ballroom. Natu-
rally, the Baroness could not go
home without her nephew and
he no idea of going, so she
stayed far beyond the time she
had set for her departure.

Rabbi Minda emphasized the

emphasis on racial differences and
the clamor for uniformity Of race

Catholic Paper
Hits American
Race Hypocrisy

NEW YORK (C) - American
hypocrisy on the Jewish issue in
Germany was scored by The Com
monweal, 1856 Fourth avenue,
Philip Burnham and Edward Skill
lin, Jr., editors, Catholic weekly
review of literature, arts and pub
lie affairs, in its issue of December
2. In its leading editorial the mag
azine gave considerable space to a
full discussion of the Nazi atroci-
ties, and concluded as follows:
However, though Jews are not
a race, the colored people are. 1t
is blood that identifies them. And
though Nazi Germany and Fascist
Italy are the outstanding preach
ers of racial intolerance today, we
make bold to assert that the United
States is the outstanding practiser
of racial intolerance. There are
100000 Negroes in the United
States as against 100000 Jews in
Germany and $4,000 in Italy. We
need not detail here the well-known
facts of racial oppression in Amer
lea - Observation-Disclosures, social
ostracism, economic discrimina-
ton, educational, cultural and n.y.
gienic neglect, religious segrega-
ton, ghettoism, lynching and the
rest. They are so well known that
we are callous to them. The still
small voice of conscience has been
stifled in their regard. This is our
national shame! 1t is ardently to
be hoped for that the present crisis
of the Jews will provoke wide
spread self-examination Of con-
science in America and efficacious
resolution to mend our ways. Can
we point out the mote in brothers
eye, while there remains a beam
in our own?"
