Experiences In Escape From Poland

wife and one-year-old boy while
travelling through Poland. He was
later seen at Revno, barefoot and
ill-clad, cleaning barracks for a
piece of bread.
I did not know the limits of hui
man misery when I thought that
the Zbonszyn tragedy (the isola-
ton of several thousand deportees
from Germany in the 'no-man's-
land at the Polish border in No
vember, 1881 was the worst that
human beings could possibly en-
dure. Compared with our situa-
ton Zbonszyn seemed a paradise.
How enviable the fate of the
Zbonszyn people was" an engineer
from Poznan exclaimed when he
asked me for shoes and underwear.
He was formerly a millionaire and
owner Of three big factories, and
had at that time shown much in
terest in the relief work for refu-
gees at Zbonszyn. Now his wife
and only child had to be fed at
one of the kitchens established
by the ]. D. G.
There can be no comparison be-
tween the Zbonszyn tragedy and
that of a town named Pultusk.
The fact that all the Jews of
Pultusk were ordered to leave the
town on 20 minutes's notice was
not the worst calamity that befell
them. I am sure nobody would
believe the full story of what hap
pened there. Yet Pultusk was
only a little episode of what hap
pened in Poland.
There were $4,000 Jews in Jaros-
law, $4,000 in zamosc, more than
10000 in Wloclawek and 10000 in
Ostrolenka who were given only
a few hours-in some cases min
utes-to leave their home towns.
No fewer than so smaller towns
could be added to this list.
Within few hours IS townships
were burned down completely.
More than 100000 Jews who have
lost family members and all their
property are now without a home
and suffering from hunger and
cold on Soviet territory; 10000
Jews were evicted from their
houses within few hours; the
homes of more than 100000 Jews
were destroyed by fire. The moral
and physical sufferings of the
100000 Jews who remained I'M
der German rule are indescribable.
No one who has not seen the

present horrible tragedy of Poland
unparalleled throughout the ages
can realize it's full extent.
In WiIno the J. D. c. has COPIED
with the situation. Nobody suffers
any longer from hunger in this
region, nor will anybody, we hope,
suffer from cold after the distrlb-
ution of warm clothing.
Our relief work is also being
partially extended to all the other
area. Our colleagues in Warsaw
are displaying great heroism in
their work, but relief there is not
sufficient.
In few days tens of thousands
may perish from starvation and
exposure if relief is not forthcom-
ing.

A slight relaxation of week END

was due largely to what Poles re-

intended to support Poland fully

within the Free City.

for a specific explanation as to the

Emphasis was given in the Polish
press to assurances of British and

BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
In an answer to Secretary of the
Interior Ickes' recent magazine
article, "I Want Roosevelt for a
Third Term" Gen. Hugh S. john
son said today that Secretary Ickes
didn't tell the real 'why'-which is.
simply, that if Mr.. Roosevelt doesn't
continue. Honest Harold will be
out ="
Gen. Johnson's reply, mo Third
Term appeared in the magazine
Look, which also published Secre-
tary Ickes' article.
There is perhaps no word in the
English language adequate to de-
scribe how completely and finally
and irrevocably out Mr. Ickes would
be-" continued Gen. johnson.
90 Mr.. Ickes is not a Dem
ocrat. He used to be a Republican,
but ran out on his party twice
to be Bull Mooser in 1912 and a
Democrat in 1882. Neither a Re-
publican nor real Democrat Pres
ident would therefore lose mo-
ment in booting Mr.. Ickes"
Gen. johnson said Secretary Ickes'
brief "boils down to a demand that
the personal government of Mr..
Roosevelt be perpetuated because
only he-out of l30OOO,00O people
is competent to govern. That is the
justified conclusion of his meaning.
1t is also exactly what the third
term tradition and every safeguard
for democracy in the Constitution
itself were designed to prevent.
NO man and no small group of
men are indispensable to this coun-
try-least of all those who have

By the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 3-The United
States House of Representatives
action in passing the Bloom neu-
trality bill, containing a modified
form of mandatory arms embargo.
brought gloomy reaction yesterday
from the French press.
The pessimistic comment was
lightened only by the hope for a
change in the legislation before its
final adoption. The bill now is be-
fore the Senate.
Claude Vivieres, writing in the
Centrist LOrde commented on the
gravity of the action for the Brit

what it be, the blow is grave"
Grave above all for the democ-
acies who risk in case of a Euro

Some newspapers laid passage of
the bill to American reaction against

japanese Threaten
10 Seize britain's
Tientsin Concession
Would Take Area as Last
Resort If Other Plans
Fails to Work Out
Bv A. T. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
TIENTSIN, July 3 (by radio>. -
The japanese army will not hesitate
to seize the British concession as a
last resort if the British continue
their uncompromising attitude to-
ward the Japanese demands. l was
told today by Col. Yoshikazu Harada,
chief of staff of the Tientsin garri-
son. Col. Harada, who is an engag-
ing. dynamic member of the younger
officers group of the army, is re-
puted to be the directing figure be-
hind the Tientsin blockade.
Under what conditions would
you consider such drastic step?"
I asked him. The colonel replied
that the army still has many other
plans for forcing the British nand,
but declared that such a hostile act
as British economic retaliation might
necessitate Japanese occupation of
the concession.
Demands Well Known.
Col. Harada confirmed that the
five demands of the Peiping pro-
visional government, announced yes
terday, agree substantially with
japanese requirements These de-
mands are well known and need not
be repeated, but they include in
sistence upon financial cooperation
between the British and puppet au-
thorltles, joint suppression of anti
japanese elements and finally "ioint
control within the concessions by
the authorities of both the pro-
vlslonal government and the con-
cessions.' The latter point involves
the surrender of British soverelgnty
and obviously has little chance of
acceptance.
I asked Col Harada why the
Japanese Army was discriminating
against the British when it was
well known that the United States
was also assisting the Chungking
Central Chinese) government. He
responded that while the United
States may be helping Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, it is also helping
Japan
Pessimistic About Talks.
Indications are that Tientsin
militarists have had their ears
knocked down by Toxic, frustrating
their plans for independent action
to embarrass the impending Toxic
conversations. The Tightening of
restrictions which had been planned
for today has been indefinitely post
poned.
1t is expected that the situation
here will drag along, with little
change, until the success or failure
of the Toxic talks is indicated. There
is general pessimism regarding the
possibilities of successful outcome
although some japanese believe that
the increasing gravity of the Eu-
ropean situation may bring British
surrender here.
American businessmen here are
taking an estimated daily loss of
more than $4,000 as result of the
japanese blockade.
