 Holy Rome

ROME, May Adolf Hitler be gan his week as a guest of Italy by paying homage to the nations King and Unknown Soldier.
 While his visit to the soldiers tomb was inferentially criticized by the Deacon, Hitler laid wreath on the memorial stone and then went to Capitoline Hill to salute the monument to fallen Fascists.
 Hitler and Mussolini talked pri- 'vately twice. Spokesmen said they discussed each others colonies.
 In the meantime, Pope Plus was quoted by the Vatican newspaper as saying it was "a sad thing that the insignia of another cross that is not the cross of Christ" was hoisted in Rome yesterday on Holy Cross Day.
 When Hitler arrived yesterday the city was blanketed with the swastika of the Nazis, and cheering thousands acclaimed the German man of the hour.

State Department Is Confronted
 With Problem in Relief Plans For German, Austrian Refugees
Social, Political, A SD ec cts Involved, Also Avoidance of Rdising Anti-Semitic Feel ing in Countries Which Now Do Not Hdve Such Conditions
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 4.-One of the problems faced by the State Department and public figures in extending relief to German and Austrian refugees is to avoid rais- ing an anti-Semitic feeling in those countries which now do not have it.
 From one viewpoint it is strictly relief problem, but those han ding it have been confronted at all times with it's social and politi- cal aspects.
 For instance, it is reported here that many "Aryan" Germans have been prevented from entering this country in recent years because they were unable to solve either the complexity of getting out of Germany or of getting into the United States.
 What, then, might be the effect of having boatloads of Jewish ref ugees arrive in the United States and perhaps in South and Central American countries with all inter- ference cleared out of the way?
 One source interested in the re- lief movement said it would be no kindness to the Jews in the long run to give them temporary relief from Germany and Austria only at the expense of creating new centers of anti-Semitism in other parts of the world.

DIFFICULT AT BOTH ENDS

Here is sample of the diffi- culty both refugee and ordinary emigrants face. When a citizen ct Germany leaves that country te take up residence abroad-in other words to emigrate-he must pay tc Germany a tax of 50 percent o1 all he owns. In addition, he car take out the remainder only ir small portions over many months.
 Much of that is prompted by Germanys monetary stringencies but the net result is restraint upon emigration. A further re- ytraint is that most countries, in- cluding the United States, require emigrants to have either enough money of their own to get start in their new home, or to have rela- tives and friends able and willing to keep them from becoming pub lie charges.
 Tn one way, of course, the prob- lem of the refugee is different from that of the ordinary emigrant. The present crop of refugees, predomin- antly Jews, no longer feels happy or even ssfe in Austria and Ger many. They feel they have to get out. restrictions or no restrictions

ciety adopted the following resolu-
tions, commemorating the life Of Dr..

Whereas, we have lost member,

Be it resolved, that though life on
earth is now memoir, let us find
comfort and cheer in his represen-
tation of the finer ideals of life on
earth, a model that should justify
the envy and pursuit of any man.
Let us find consolation in his right

rows, their health and happiness,
and the friendly and worthy reward
privilege Life's memories of DR..
Leeper will endure from generation
to generation as man of high in
tegrity and great charity. BLESSED
be his divine spirit and eternal hap
piness in heaven"
Therefore, be it resolved, that his
name be perpetrated by inscribing
these resolutions upon the minutes
of the Morgan County Medical sicety,
that copy be sent to the family Of
Dr. Leeper, and to be published in
more by recalling when occasions
present themselves in our discourses
and conversations, suitable COM
ment upon his righteous devotion
to suffering humanity.-Signed E..
