trifle gray, little heavier, and some

they take off their hats, but they all

In view of some of the murder trial
verdicts, move to lock up the juries

Many a candidate who felt sorry for

there are lot of voters who do not deal
in George Washington's speciality.
The other day we talked with a
couple of buns, and they said that the

Concerning World Refugees
Roosevelt-Hull Program Seen Effort to Deal With
Situation Dipomatically and Politically

stitution with sufficient prestige and
authority to act as diplomatic
agency, between the countries which
are enforcing emigration, and those
countries which would accept immi-
grants, providing that the conditions
under which they enter are such that
they could become economic assets
rather than liabilities
Compromise Seen Possible.
Several experts who have had expe-
rience in dealing with the transfer of
emigrants and capital from Germany
to other countries, believe that it is not
impossible to reach some sort of COM
promise with the German government,
under which the capital of German
and other Jews, now blocked in Ger
many, and still amounting to millions,
may be used to finance equipment for
colonization projects. This might ac-
tually be to the economic advantage of
Germany as well as to the economic
advantage of the emigrants and the
countries to which they may go.
Greater selectivity is also necessary.
Most countries, including our own
could take with advantage certain
kinds OF workers. To an extent, also,
the problem is one of retraning Some
Of that has already been done, particu-
larly with Jewish emigrants to Pales-
tine.
But there are many sorts of skills
for which there is actually demand,
that require considerable intellectual
training. or are better or more speedily
acquired by those who have had an in
tellectual training.
Best Minds Involved.
That, of course, is one of the trag-
edies OF the refugee problem of our
era. Among the men and women
who are now seeking new homes, are
some Of the finest and best-trained
brains; people who are genuinely
creative. and whose contributions
therefore to any society are far greater
than the compensation they will ever
receive. A man like DR.. Neumann of
Vienna, who at last account was In
prison for having contributed to the
Fatherland Front of Chancellor
Schuschnigg cannot, in any country,
take away somebody's else's" Job. be-
cause he is sui generis. He is one of
the half dozen greatest oral physicians
in the world
To admit that the whole round earth
has no place left for men and women
OF peculiar and expert skill, once the
doors Of their own land close behind
them, is to admit that the whole round
earth, as it is at present organized, is
colossal and incurable failure.
That, We are not yet prepared to
admit.
Therefore, the attempt of Secretary
Hull and of President Roosevelt. to
rally the governments of all countries
to some concerted thought and action,
should be welcomed and assisted in
every possible way.
1t Is an attempt to bring some order
into a condition rapidly approaching
chaos, and not only our sympathies,
but our wisdom and common sense
should welcome it.

mechanism that even attempts to deal
with it as whole, and as a political,
rather than humanitarian problem
The activities of the Nansen Com
mittee, which unless renewed next
month expires at the end of the year,
are limited and in no wise cover the
problems of new political emigrants.
The Office Of the high commissioner
for refugees coming from Germany
also expires unless renewed. and also
has strictly limited authority.
Million Persons Affected.
1t has been estimated that the ap-
plication of the Nuremberg racial laws
in Austria will affect nearly million
persons, or almost one-sixth of the
population of that country, whose
livelihoods thereby will be drastically
affected. And the steps that Germany
has already taken since the annexa-
ton Of Austria indicate that many
monarchists. Catholics and persons OF
other groups will at least try to find
refuge elsewhere.
The outcome of the war in Spain
will also create new refugee problem
inevitably, whichever way the die is
cast
The immediate popular response to
the Presidents appeal to all countries
to join in a movement to deal with
the problem. indicates that in some
quarters his move has been misunder-
stood. There is a strong fear in all
the countries still open to emigration,
that the barriers will be let down. and
they will be flooded with newcomers
at time when many Of their own
citizens are employed.
Matter of Self Preservation.
Actually what prompted the Presi-
dent was, no doubt, a keen sense Of
self-preservation. The world. as it is,
in a place of unrest and agitation,
with desperate people taking desperate
measures in the attempt merely to
survive, and millions of people wander
ing more or less aimlessly, and batter
ing at every conceivable door, being
passed from frontier to frontier. will
centainly do nothing to help restore
world order.
Nor can any democratic country
wash its hands Of the problem, II it
wishes to retain its own soul. The
spectacle of acute human suffering,
arbitrarily imposed, incurred by thou
sands in defense of the very ideals
which are the ones we are supposed to
live by, cannot be regarded with equa-
nimity or Indifference, unless We are
prepared to admit that the ideas no
longer have validity. A defeatist atti-
tude toward the refugee problem be-
comes a defeatist attitude toward de-
mocracy itself.
Obviously what is needed is a pro-
gram and efficient organization. to deal
with the whole matter automatically
and politically, to coordinate and
better direct the private humanitarian
agencies already in the field and to
handle the whole problem on an inter-
national basis. That means an in
