Refugees Likely to Create
La Disturbing Influence

In consideration Of whether we
ought to let q deluge Of refugees
enter, I cannot help thinking Of q
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
country would be clamoring for the
United States to take revenge on
Germany and Hitler. Their influ-
ence would be great because they
could tell what happened to them
and give an idea Of what IS hap
pening. You and I and millions Of
others would believe first hand In
formation. 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 thai
can be said is that the United State!
has let the world know of its dis
approval. When Ambassador vii

Only Congress Can Let

Behind the scenes of the immi-
grafton restriction also was a deter

David Reed of Pennsylvania, then
a senate power, to prevent introduce
ton into the United States of all
kinds of "isms." The senator fore
saw 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.
It was a 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

there must be a 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 II 1t involves financial
assistance. It would be charity

Purge Of German Jews an
Exposition Of Mad Power

Purge Of German Jews an
Exposition Of Mad Power
I suppose there are very few per-
sons in the United tSates who do
not believe that Hitler's purge" of
German Jews constitutes q 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 $400,000OO0 of money
from the Jews of Germany under
the guise of "fine" although there
is a 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 else we
are witnessing the activities Of
angels whose purposes we, as hui
man beings, are unable yet to un-
derstand. The purge" of German
Jews, therefore, must be accepted
as the exposition of mad power.
Some weeks ago, had occasion
in these columns to talk about the
so-called peace of Munich" I said
then that Hitler was not through;
that there would be further exhibi-
tions as he and his henchmen
Unanswered this way and that in
order to maintain the iron grip of a
dictator. The drive on the Jews is
a part Of that general scheme, a
movement to maintain a support
for the dictatorship, for, it is known,
should Hitler's grasp be broken at
any place or at any time, there
would be a bloody revolt in Germany
again.
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 suf-
ferings brought upon them adds lit
tie or nothing to the search for q
method to protect their lives. Where
are they to go? That Is the real
question. 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 thai
leadership, and rightly so. But we
have policies and principles and ira
ditions which must be respected. #
in our eagerness to help the Ger
man Jews, we should transgress
those established principles, ther
we, as well as the Jews, will have tc
pay a penalty.
