LONDON, Nov. 12-British re-
sentiment at Germany's widespread
campaign against Jews threatened
today to halt Prime Minister Cham
berlain's laborous efforts to force a
lasting peace in Europe
The British governments swift
reaction to the burning and looting
of Jewish property in Berlin and
other German cities indicated Brit
ain might yet find occasion to quar-
rel with the nation she narrowly
missed fighting two months ago.
The indignation at the most re-
cent antiJewish outburst in Ger
many will be focused in Parliament
Monday when Maj. Clement R. Att
lee, Labor party leader, asks the
government for information on the
attacks.
1t was believed certain that dis
cuSSlon of Germany's colonial claims
the thorny problem which Mr..
Chamberlain proposed to tackle
would be seriously hindered by the
latest example of Germany's treat
ment of her own minority prob
lem.
Britain's Independent Labor party
wrote to Herbert Won Dirksen, the
German Ambassador to London. de-
nouncing Germanys treatment of
Jews as "a throwback to the Jungle
by which "the human family has
been disgraced."
Requesting the Ambassador to re-
ceive an Independent Labor party
delegation, the letter protested
against the barbarity and bestiality
OF the attacks on Jews which occur
red in Germany during the last few
days"
Sir Archibald Sinclair, Liberal
party leader, said in an address at
Northampton last night that the
German campaign against Jews
showed that Britain could not hon
orably turn over to Germany ANY
OF those primitive peoples in Africa"
1t was understood Sir George
Ogilvie-Forbes, British Charge DAFT
faires in Berlin, already had been
Instructed to seek an explanation of
an article in Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels' newspaper
Der Angriff suggesting British poll
ticians were implicated in the as
sassination of the German diplo-
mat, Ernest Won Rath, in Paris last
Monday by young Jew.
Another indication of the British
governments concern was seen in
the reception by r. A. Butler, par
liamentary undersecretary for for
eign affairs, of Jewish leaders in
Britain who went to the foreign Of
flee to state their views on certain
questions" arising from the anti
Semitic riots in Germany.

Congress Rule Is Final
On MemoriaI-Tree
Issue, Says De|ano
Commission Head Thinks
Destruction Estimates
Have Been Exaggerated

Despite the regrettable loss Of
trees doomed by the proposed erec-
ton of the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal. Frederic A. Delano, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, pointed
out today that Congress has directed
the erection of the memorial on the
Tidal Basin site and apparently
nothing can be done to set aside its
will
The number of trees is no doubt
"greatly exaggerated" in some quar-
ters. he said.
Mr.. Delano pointed out the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission cannot and does not
seek to make an issue of the cherry
trees.
Il bucked this thing for months
and succeeded in modifying the orig
inal plans for the memorial" Mr..
Delano explained. What more can
be done? Congress has ordered
the memorial built and. while no
doubt great many trees of all
kinds will eventually be destroyed
or transplanted within the site,
which is a very large one, I believe
the number reported is greatly exag-
gerated"
COncurS With Cammerer.
In this opinion, Mr.. Delano con-
ours with Arno B. Cammerer, di-
rector of the National Park Service,
who was the first to make public
an estimate of 600 trees of various
kinds, within the boundaries of the
memorial site. Included in this
estimate were 800 cherry trees,
mostly along the Tidal Basin, l26
American elms and several other
varieties
Mr.. Cammerer reported at the
time a great many of these trees
would probably be left growing al
though others would have to be de-
stroyed or transplanted.
Mr.. Delano stressed today that
plans for the landscaping have not
been made and as a result nobody
can tell now just how many trees
actually will be affected" Included
In these plans, he said. are the drive
ways within the area and the roads
entering it
L do not believe all of the 600
trees will be affected by any means"
Mr. Delano added
May Add More Cherry Trees.
The only ones directly involved on
the foundation site, he said. are So
cherry trees which apparently will
have to be tranSplanted and a few
others to be cut down The num-
ber reported to be DESTROYED was 20.
Mr.. Delano expressed the opinion,
AS did Mr.. Cammerer on Thursday,
that when the plans for landscap-
Ing are finally approved and trans
planting carried out, there will prob
ably be more cherry trees within the
vicinity of the site than there are
now.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission no doubt will
have an important voice in designing
the landscaping of the memorial
site. The commission had opposed
erection of the memorial on the
Tidal Basin in the first place and did
all 1t possibly could have done to
modify plans for the protection of
the basins contour and the cherry
trees along the south shore.
Since the plans for the construc-
ton of the memorial were duly au-
thorized by Congress after long con-
sideration, Mr.. Delano feels nothing
more can be done to change them.
