blegram from Palestine itself en-
phasizing the interest with which
Palestine Jews themselves, are
looking to the American body
served to strengthen this convic-
ton in the minds of the delegates.
Opening the convention at
public session in the Syria
Mosque, DR.. Solomon Goldman
called anti-Semitism the chief in
strument of Hitler in building the
Fifth column to demoralize a
country from within preparatory
to the march of his troops. The
same device, said the president of
the Zionist Organization, is also
being employed in America. Let
us proclaim to America" said the
speaker, that anti-Semitism is
the universal Fifth column of Hit
lerism. He who is an anti-Semite
is Hitherto. He has learned in
the international school of hatred
and anti-democracy which has it's
headquarters in Germany, the art
of bewildering public sentiment by
appealing to the anti-Semitic bias.
There are thousands of this brand
in America. They have set up a
smoke screen of anti Semitism
and behind it they are training
Storm Troopers, obtaining militia
ry secrets designating landing pla-
ces for parachute troops, fostering
hostility against the United States
in South America, advertising the
triumphs and extolling the virtues
of the Nazis, weakening the NOR
ale of this country and in general,
preparing for the final victory of
Nazism. That smoke screen we
must help to dispel."

Over Half EurOpe's
Jews Now Under
Soviet Domination

LONDON (JTA)-More than
half of Europe's nine-and-a-half
million Jews-roughly 100000,
with the accession of Bessarabia
and northern Bukowina by Ru-
mania to Russia-are now under
Soviet domination.
There are some 10000 Jews in
Bessarabia and approximately
$4,000 in northern Bukowina.
Besarabia's principal city, Chisi-
nau (Kishinev), has a Jewish pop
ulation of $4,000 while Cernaud
(Czernowitz) in Buwokina mas
some 10000.
Approximate Jewish popula-
lions for other Soviet-dominateo
territories are: Soviet Russia, s.
100000; Soviet Poland, 1,5OO,OOO;
Lithuania, 100000; Latvia, $4,000
and Estonia, 5000.

close TO 1,OOO delegates repre-
senting virtually every state in
the Union were present at the OPP
ening session of the convention
which it was generally agreed
met in the most critical period
of the history of the Zionist move
ment. Among the speakers were
DR.. Solomon Goldman of Chica-
go, President of the Zionist Or
ganization of America, DR.. Steph-
en- S. Wise, Louis Lipsky, Eliezer
Kaplan, treasurer of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine, and Judge
Morris Rothenberg. The session
was notable for the presence of
many distinguished refugee Zion
lists, from countries where h e
Zionist bodies have been liquidated
by the ascendancy of Hitlerism.
With the Zionist movement in
America being virtually the only
major group of it's kind untouched
by the Hitler surge, leaders en-
phasized that the American group
must shoulder not only it's own
share of the Zionist task but that
of the countries whose leaders are
suppressed or are in exile. A ca

Week In Review
NAZIFYING FRANCE
M MILTON sROWN. J.T.A.

NAZIFYING FRANCE
Now that the Petain Govern
ment has capitulated and signed
crushing armistice agreement,
the Nazis, holding twO-thirds of
France and dominating the rest,
are proceeding with the Nazifica-
tiOn of the latest territory to fall
into their grip.
One of the aspects of the Ger
mans programmes used in Aus
tria. Czechoslovakia and Poland
is to foment anti-Semitism, hop
ing thus to help keep the popula-
ton divided and divert the anger
of the population which normally
would be turned against the con-
querors.
Already the German radio re-
ports anti-Jewish demonstrations
. in France. According to these re-
ports, IL Jews were injured and
a synagogue destroyed in a DEM
OnstratiOn in Toulouse; Jewish
shops were wrecked in Lyons; i'm
another town crowds attacked a
Masonic lodge hall where Jews
had taken refuge.
The J.T.A.'s chief European cor
respondent, Boris Smolar, re-
ported after his arrival in Lisbon
that on June 10, the day before
the German occupation of Paris,
some fifth columnists began STIR
ring up anti-Jewish sentiment
among the depressed Frenchmen
in the Jewish-populated sections
around the Rivoli and the Place
de la Republique, blaming Jews
for the war. AS a result, some
$4,000 Jews, who did not have
means for evacuation and in
tended to remain in Paris, were
obliged to leave their homes and
try to flee Paris on foot.
One of the most shameful claus
eS Of the armistice agreement in
Paragraph 10, which states that
the French Government is to
hand over all German subjects in
dlcated by the German Govern
ment who are in France or French
overseas territory" The effect of
this is to place thousands of Ger
man refugees, some of them ac-
i've anti-Nazis, in jeopardy of
being turned over to the Nazis.
What made the plight of the
Jews in France more desperate
was the fact that virtually all es-
cape was barred for them. It was
reported that Spain admitted a
trainload of 600 Poles and Jews,
Out aside from this none was be-
ing admitted to Spain, Portugal
VI Switzerland, thus leaving them
trapped in France.
CHRISTIAN FRONT DECISION
"A setback was given to Amer
lcaS anti-Fifth column drive by
tne failure Of the jury in the
~nrlStlan Front trial in Brooklyn
Heaeral Court to return any con-
ncuOnS. Nine of the IA men tried
4Or seditiOn and theft Of Govern
u'enC arms were acquitted and
disagreement was reported on the
OWers. There is little prospect Of
new trial for these five.
me effect of the decision, which
zane at the close of a 12-week
1ial, was to give encouragement
70 Christian Front activities.

IT IS equally true that he is known

The Ants, therefore. would much
rather have him on the platform
committee than Daniels, who would

J The single post isn't worth much
lighting for, when the convention
business as 4 whole is taken into

that they must be on the alert and
! ever-Watchful to prevent the Old
Guard conservatives from getting
control OF any important function o!
! the party-and drawing up the plat
! form is certainly one Of them despite
| the fact that little or no attention is
! paid by the public to political plankS
and still less by the politicians after
they have been used in getting office.
/ Unless there does develop at least
ia modicum Of controversy over this
issue there is Scant likelihood of any
fireworks in the Tar Heel delegation
! Once upon time there was talk
of opposition to Lon Folger as ma
tional committeeman. but this seems
to have been talk only.
Once upon time there seemed
some possibility that the delegates
might have something to say about
