World Jewry Gains
In Fight on HitIerism,
Dr.. Goldman SAYS
No Longer Isolated in
Bottle Against Menace.
Jewish Congress Is Told

The American Jewish Congress
last night heard at its opening
session an encouraging message that
the position Of world Jewry has
changed for the better since the
democratic powers have finally
stood up against Hitlerism."
DR.. Nahum Goldman Of Geneva,
Switzerland, chairman Of the
Administrative Committee Of the
World Jewish Congress, brought
this significant word to the more
than 400 delegates assembled at
the Willard Hotel from 20 States:
I'VE are no longer isolated in
the fight against Hitlerism. The
democratic powers, after years of
hesitation, have finally realized the
menace of this regime not only
to them but to human civilization.
They have finally stood up
against Htlerism, and the SYM
pathies of millions of other peo-
pie are with them. We are neither
the isolated fighters nor the pio-
neers OF this fight any more. We
are within the ranks of tens of
millions Of other men and women" i"
Lipsky Strikes Keynote.
The keynote Of the 2lst annual
congress was struck by the Admin
istrative Committee report, a sum-
mary of which was delivered by
Louis Lipsky, vice president of the
Congress.
AT no time in its history" he
said, has American Jewry been
faced with greater tasks and great
er responsibility. At no time has
there been greater need for union
and q greater need for the demo-
cratic way"
The report. as read by Mr.. Lip
sky, declared that anti-Semetic
organizations issue propaganda
seeking to show that Jews brought
about the World War and involved
America in it and that Jews "are
carrying on secret Vaccinations to
cause this country to side against
Germany again" The past year
also has seen the launching of a
movement to boycott the Jewish
merchants Of the greater New York
City area, the report said.
"1n the United States, the VIC
torious march of the Nazi Army
has encouraged the anti-democratic,
Jew-baiting organizations to more
and more aggressive adventures, !"
Mr.. Lipsky read.
Strong Counter Movements.
The report added, however, that
these threats to American tradi-
tons are being met with strong
counter movements throughout the
country" It cited activity by
Catholics, Protestants and Federal
agencies.
A lively discussion on whether the

From Indianhead to Budds
Ferry, south of Quantico, Va, came
the toughest work of all. The course
customarily covered in 80 minutes
demanded constant attention for 3
hours and IS minutes. Even the
tough prov of the Southland ap-
peared to quake at times as the
3O5-foot ship butted the ice, its en-
gines throbbing at what normally
would have been a 12-mile-an-hour
speed. The Southland could have
rammed ahead faster, but the skip
pers were fearful of loosening wood
work in the passenger cabins. There
was no rest. Constantly the vessel
forced its way slowly ahead OF
churned backward for another try.
Once past Budds Ferry the path

In that time the Southland con-

than the normal requirement. Al
all times $50 pounds of steam was
blown through the ships strainers
to prevent dangerous caking with
ice.
The trip back, starting Friday al
1890 pm, was child's play by COM
parison. The cleared channel could
be followed If necessary. The ice
even though sometimes a foot OF
more in thickness, offered no for.

readily to the hull of the confident

1880 am. yesterday the Southland
once more lay in Washington wa.

could have made the return trir
even quicker.
So the Southland should be for.

OF
MOTOR TAXES
Growth of Motor Vehicle
Ownership Makes Protection
of Tax Revenues Imperative
1,457 NEW VEHICLES

Motor vehicle ownership is ex-
panding in Delaware at such a rate
as to make imperative the com
plete and permanent stoppage OF
diversion of motor tax revenues tc
purposes other than highway use
Fl. Y. Daniel, Secretary, Associat-
ed Petroleum Industries of Della
ware, declared.
"Automotive ownership is show
ing a sharp advance in Delaware, :
Mr.. Daniel explained. Last month
l ,457 new motor vehicles were reg
istered. That many of these regis
trations represent new owners is
evident, as in the same period, 289
operators licenses and 1,261 in
struction permits were issued.
AS motor vehicle ownership ex-
pands, tax revenues increase and
there is a consequent greater use
Of improved highway facilities. AS
a result, diversion of motor reven-
ues to purposes other than high
way improvement now works a
hardship on more Delaware citi-
zens and is responsible for a condi-
tion where adequate maintenance
of our highways and their proper
expansion may be sharply curbed.
condition which must not be per
mitted to exist.
Exactly 255 new commercial We
hicles We're registered last month,
showing healthy business upturn.
These vehicles are largely owned
by Delaware business and industry
and highway transportation costs
must, if they are to exist in com
petition with other states, be kept
at low cost.
Delaware faces a critical condi-
ton as a result of continued diver
sion of motor revenues which has
attracted nationwide attention.
Obviously, there is only one solu-
tion and positive cure for the mat
ter and that is in the passage of a
Constitutional Amendment in the
1941 Session of the Legislature
which will prohibit, for all time, the
use Of motor tax revenues for any
