 Senator Borah's Ideas
 In Washington, Senator William E. Borah, Republican, Idahp, rank ing minority member of the foreign relations committee, said he would support 8 resolution protesting Ger man treatment of Jews, but declined to discuss withdrawal of diplomatic recognition of the reich.
 "If a resolution were introduced protesting the treatment of the Jews in Germany, stating the grounds I think 1t ought to state, I would support it, or I might sup- port 1t, stating my own grounds, !" Borah said.
 Senator King Anxious
 King said: If no one else offers 8 resolution of protest, I certainly shall do 1t. will offer a resolution, condemning the course of Germany as violative of international law. Then, if Germany persists, I would favor severing diplomatic relations with her. A man does not continue associations with a neighbor who is always stealing, always robbing, al- ways cruel, always yindictive and cowardly.
 "The same principle might apply to relations between nations. I can not help but believe that an aroused world sentiment against the cruel treatment of Jews and Catholics by Hitler will be 50 strong that he will be compelled to cease these peTseetlr tions. In the end, this course (e{ presenting rainorities) has always contributed to moral degradation. and that moral degradation has led to political and econeEaie ruin. No nation ean long continue such a course of oppression and survive. History bears this out. This cpurse bears in 1t the seeds of ovegthrow.a '

 Secretary Ickes Speaks
 Ickes said: There can be no peace # national policy adopts as 8 der liberate instrument the dispeSsieil all over the world of millions of helpless and perseeuted wanderers with no place to lay their heads. There can be no peace if humble men and women are not free to think their own thoughts, to express their own feelings, to worship God.
 'These assaults are at the bottom not assaults against Jews alone nor against Catholics alone. They are assaults against reason, they are assaults against civilization. There have been attacks not only against the people from whom Jesus sprang; there have been attacks agains tthe very ideals for which he died."
 Hoover, LandOn
 MT. Hoover said he did not believe the German people as a whole ap- proved the prosecutions.
 Tt is our hope" he continued, "that those springs of tolerance and morals of human compassion which lie deep in the German people may yet rise to the control of Germany. But in the meantime our condemna- tion of their leaders should be with- out reserve. They are bringing to Germany moral isolation from the whole world"
 Landon clasSed the prosecutions with ''brutalities practiced else where in Russia, Italy and Spain. He said 'These inhuman actions be- long to another age."
