In an effort to prevent Jews
from escaping from Denmark, the
Nazi authorities have issued an
order prohibiting Jews to leave
the country. Nazi newspapers in
Denmark have started a furious
propaganda campaign, charging
that Jews are chiefly responsible
for the present strained relations
between Denmark and Germany.
Many Jews in Copenhagen are
liquidating their businesses and
have their belongings packed,
ready to leave for Sweden immed-
lately if they can succeed in Sc
curing Swedish visas. They are
determined to violate the Nazi or
der prohibiting Jewish emigra-
ton, since they are certain the
Jews of Denmark will soon face
the same fate as Jews in other
NaZi-held countries.
Deportation Of All Jews From
Norway Expected
A report from Norway reveals
I that almost half of the entire
Jewish population there has eth
er been imprisoned or interned by
the Nazi occupational authorities.
Of the approximately 800 Jews
in the country, less than 800 are
still free, the report says. The
mass arrests of Jews in Norway
is believed to be only a prelude
to the deportation Of all Jews
from the country.
1t was established here this
week that the announcement
made over the Nazi-controlled
Oslo radio that the chief rabbi Of
Copenhagen and five leading
members Of the executive Of the

The Jewish spiritual and lay
leaders Of Denmark are remain
ing at their posts in Copenhagen,
anxiously watching the situation.
They rely on the King and on
their Government to protect Dam
ish Jewry from further and more
drastic anti-JeWish measures by
the Nazi occupational authori-
ties.
At the same time it was learn
ed here that in Norway the Nazi
authorities, in addition to arrest
ing Chief Rabbi Samuel, as well
as ten Of the most prominent
Jewish leaders in Oslo on charges
Of espionage, have also arrested
many leading Jews in Trondheim
and other Norwegian towns on
the same framed-up charges. The
property Of all arrested Jews has
been confiscated by the German
authorities.

HADASSAH CONVENTION
CLOSES

Mrs. lamar de Sofa Pool was
reelected president of Hadassah
after a heated session provoked
by her announcement that she did
not wish to run for reelection,
because of the delegates adoption
of the resolution repudiating the
Ichud program. Since she has
been a leader of the fight to have
the Ichud policy endorsed by the
Hadassah, Mrs. Pool said she dld
not feel that she should continue
as president after the organiza-
tion had demonstrated that it DIS
agreed with her on this ISSUE
However, she was eventually pre-
vailed upon to accept the nominal
tion and was elected. MISS JUL

retary of the Hadassah. Al the

Judge Levinthal opposed the
idea of making Palestine a BIZ
national state. He advocated a
policy of cooperation with the
Arabs 'in the spirit of the under
standing laid down in the Feisal-
Weizmann agreement and in the
Felsal-Frankfurter correspond
ence." He demanded that Jews
have control over Jewish immi-
grafton after the war and called
Tor holiness in land acquisition.
Deploring the fact that the
British Government rejected the
plan for a Jewish Army, Judge
Levlnthal demanded Jewish

mand deems their presence neces-
sary" He emphasized his dis
satisfaction with the "belatedly

"By action unanimously taken by

Commission was created for the

simultaneously with others through
out the country, under a proclama-
ton issued yesterday by 1t. Gen.
j. L. De Witt, commanding the
Western Defense Command.
Gen. De Witt withdrew curfew and
travel restrictions, in SO far as they
applied to Italians, to make military
regulations in the Western Defense
Command conform with Attorney
General Biddle's order exempting
Italians from civilian regulations
governing enemy aliens.
Both orders were effective at one
minute after midnight.
Gen. De Wits order also extends
to aliens Of enemy nationalities
during their term Of military service
in the armed forces of the United
States"
The restrictions still apply to
Germans, Japanese and persons Of
Japanese ancestry. The curfew
order requires enemy aliens to be
at home between 8 pm. and 6 am.
Travel restrictions limit them to

those who - oppose any steps
that contemplate the unity Of two
great Christian bodies. History re-
peats itself, and contentious and
voluble minorities stay the progress
OF movements designed for the
greater spread Of Christ's Kingdom.
They would halt movement in
consonance with the declared will
Of Christ and for the greater glory
OF their own insular point of view
imperil the church in the time of its
gravest crisis"
Bishop Freeman argued that "if
these two eminently Christian
bodies cannot be made to see eye
to eye in such time as this, it is
practically hopeless for them to find
the grounds OF agreement In days
unmarked by disorder and strife.
Similarity In Beliefs.
Both churches stand without
reservation for the deity and lord
ship of Jesus Christ" he said. Both
churches believe in and adhere rev.
erently to q sacramental system.
Both churches are boldly aggres-
sive in missionary service. Both
churches declare from their pull
pits that there Is none other name
under heaven given among men
whereby We must be saved, saving

only the name OF Jesus Christ. These
are major considerations, not minor.
-" = It is upon these major matters
- that they seek unity. >
Their peoples, in all the great enter
prises that concern human better
ment and well-being, are deeply
united and their fellowship is finely
Christian.
Unity must begin somewhere and
the time for it to begin is where
all Christian bodies are faced with
grave perils and an apostate world.
"'' Nothing could be more tragic
than to attempt to resist forces that
under God may usher in a new
world, more consistent, more true
to the Divine pattern than any that
has gone before. - = We need to set
all the Christian forces at work to
help shape a new world that is
struggling to be born"
Never More Urgent.
Bishop Freeman closed his ad-
dress with the affirmation: LET us
believe, and back our belief by our
words and acts, that out Of q uni
versal catastrophe Of blood and de-
struction something better than the
world has ever known is to issue.

Bishop Freeman Calls

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

By JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.
Addressing a congregation which
filled the transept and finished por-
,tions of the nave at Washington
Cathedral yesterday afternoon, the
Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, called for
religious unity in behalf of "a dis
tracted and confused world" Spe-
cifically, he advocated organic union
between Episcopal and Presbyterian
churches along lines now being
formulated by the joint commission
of the two bodies" for presentation
to both denominations.
Bishop Freeman began his sermon
by. conceding that under normal
conditions people can get along
reasonably we'll pursuing their sepa-
rate and individual ways. They can
segregate themselves into groups
and coteries, have their party pass
words and shibboleths.
But, he said, "a world condition
has been precipitated today that
is fraught with grave consequences,
consequences that vitality affect, not
only our so-called Christian civiliza-
ton and our American way of lifel
but the very security of the church
and its Christian institutions. = +"
Today the. church, like other time
honored institutions, Is brought face
to face with conditions whose omi-
nous portent is a terrible threat to
their security and continuing infiu-
ence and usefulness.
Issue Has Been Made.
'Let there be no mistaking the
designs of wicked and malign forces
to strike, and strike with force,
systems and institutions that have
long stood as the high expression
of Christian civilization.
The Christian church must reckon,
and reckon seriously with what is
at stake in this world conflict.
An issue has been made between the
chief and coveted things of our
Christian civilization and concep-
tion of human life and human gov
ernment that Is utterly at variance
with all that we hold and believe.
There can be no compromise, no
negotiated peace between good and
evil" "
For years, Bishop Freeman ex-
planned, men of diverse minds and
training and tradition eagerly have
sought for some ecumenical basis
that might issue ultimately in the
unity of Christendom. With in
