Russian Jews
Heavy Sufferers
In German Defeat

Istanbul (JPS)-Russian Jewry
hAs been dealt the heaviest blows
in the Russian winter campaign
which resulted in the defeat of
the German hordes, according to
Russian and Turkish newspaper
reports.
The Nazis killed 600 Jews be-
fore they left INSTRUMENTATION,
and they took with them thous-
ands of other Jews, mostly
youths, for forced labor, the U. S.
S. R. press reports on the basis
of information received from So
Wet guerilla fighters. The Soviet
government gazettes have. verified
earlier rumors that the Germans
are abducting Jews for forced Ia
Dor.
The Red guerrilla bands have
also revealed that the Nazis have
elected all Jews from their homes
in the cities of Berditchev, Gomel,
Mohilgev, Zhitomir, Minsk, Pskov,
Orsha, Krementshug, Nikolaiev
and other cities to make room for
Nazi soldiers for the winter. The
Soviet Government asserts that
many frozen bodies of Jews had
been found as a result of the Ger
man practice.
In the city of Yefreimov the
Russians freed 1000 Jews who
had been seized by the Nazis for
slave labor. In the Cremea the
Germans have made the Jews dig
trenches and build Notifications
under severe Russian fire.

The League is in possession of
copies of a Christmas greeting
folder printed with the signature
the Loyal Copperheads of Amer
ica," headed by former active
America First" worker. This
folder was sent out during the
first few days of this week as a
Christmas greeting to former ac-
tive members of the America
First" Committee in New York.
Persons receiving this Christmas
card, the League revealed, had
been previously active in Amer
lea First" though never members
of the "Copperheads."
The name 'Copperheads" was
adopted last fall by a group COM
posed of followers of Charles A.
Lindbergh. On the West Coast it
is known as the National Copper
heads" headed and founded by
Ellis o. Jones, a writer for the
Deutscher Weckruf und Beobach-
ter, now defunct organ of the
German-American Bund, who was
recently under investigation by
the Department of Justice after
he had made a speech, following
the declaration of war, violently
assailing President Roosevelt. The
Deutscher Weckruf on several oc-
casions urged it's members to join
the Copperheads.

Future World Must
Bar Religious
Persecution

VATICAN CITY, (JTA)-Relig-
ious persecution and oppression of
minorities must have no place in
the world of the future, declared
Pope Plus XII in his annual
Christmas Eve message.
AS two points of a five-point
program for future world peace
the Pope listed:
1. No oppression of minorities.
2. No persecution directed a.
gainst religious sects or churches,
because faith is one of the rights
of mankind"
"There can be no new order
without freedom and equality of
rights of all people," the Pope
said. cit is for the great Powers
to collaborate so that no fresh
evils may arise for mankind. 1t
is not the first time" he contin-
ued, "that people are involved in
a fight for something which they
think will be new and better
order and for which people have
been thrown into misery which, in
fact, turns out to be a stupid, vain
distortion. The principles of free
dom and equality Of rights for all
people must underlie that new
day."

Heroic Palestine

Some American Jews are so as
tigmatic about Palestine that they
can't seem to understand that
they are actually being unpatri-
otto and un-American in failing to
pay proper homage to the Jews in
Palestine who are defending one
of our most vital ramparts. It's
all right for seIf-cOndemning Jews
to dismiss as unimpOrtant the
pioneering Jews in Palestine. But
when those same fighting Jews
in Palestine become, as they are,
an integral part of the chain Of
steel that will finally construct
Hitlerism in this world, the de-
famers of Palestine had better re-
main quiet or else earn the Odium
of enemy aliens"

Week In Review

Last week, there was a war

those irrespective of their ORR

lie that Kelly fought for the
wish cause as much as the Pal

But to say this is not to imply

long as averages run above forty
cents pound, and that is the record
OF last week There was no sound
justification for imposing these re-

that limits have been set for com

the schedule has to that extent been

For our own part, we never could
see objection other than in the tstct
that tobacco was singled out for cell

been covered by the umbrella, props
have been knocked from under the
