A Document Struggled Out Of Holland

pity. God and history will con-
denim us, will declare us accom-
plices in this mass murder If at
this moment we look on ana
keep silent.
The Netherlands has been hard
hit and deeply Inundated. Now
we shall have to prove that even
under pressure we have not lost
our honor or silenced our con-
science, or allowed our beliefs &c
become powerless.
We therefore demand that our
citizens shall sabotage the prepar'
atoms and the execution of this
mass deportation.
We expect that Secretaries-Gen-
eral, burgomasters and high offic-
ials shall jeopardize their posi-
tons by refusing to assist the
German occupying power.
Whoever remains Indifferent
will find it difficult to justify his
present attitude after our liberia
ton.
We rely upon it that everyone
in a position to do so will sabo-
tage these sadistic Nazi measures
more especially State officials,
policemen and railroad personnel.
Finally: we ask all Netherland-
ers to launch a protest addressed
to the Commander-in-Chief of the
German Armies in the Neither
lands: Air-General Frederick Chris
Hansen.
Do not allow yourself to be de-
tered by the idea that it is all
useless anyway. A silent Holland
is worse than a beaten Holland.
Were it true that we are power
less (but that.is not SOL then our
protests would speak with an even
stronger voice of our outraged
feelings, our ideas of humanitar-
ianism, justice and brotherly love.
In this way the vanquished can
show that they are stronger than
the conquerors.

tan Pharaoh who had all Jewish
male children killed, and by the
action of Herodus the anti
Semitic whom order to kill Jesus
murdered all infants-in-arms of
Bethlehem. Now, thousands of
years later, Hitler and his bench
men have taken their places in the
ranks of those tyrants.
Official Polish information
states that total of 100000 Jews
have already succumbed to Ger
man cruelty. The same fate a.
waits our Jewish co-citizens. The
life of non-Jews working in Ger
many is a hard one but when the
laborers are Jewish, it means the
naturalization of the menaces
which the Nazis have uttered time
and again. It means the complete
humiliation of the Jews.
With disgust and indignation
the Netherlands people have wit
messed the introduction of the
anti-Jewish measures. Our nation
is paying deeply for not having
protested against the seemingly
innocuous Jewish declaration.
(This Jewish Declaration" is
evidently the Nazi decree of jan
uarN IA, 1941 by which all Dutch
Jews were ordered to register
within six weeks time. The de-
cree stipulated that persons with
only one Jewish grandparent
would be classified as Jews. Also,
if such a grandparent, though not
a Jew by birth, had belonged to
Jewish congregation his descend
ents would be regarded as Jews.
Failure to register was punishable
bv heavy fines and imprison-
ment.) It is our common fault
and we do not exclude the Jewish
Council itself our enemies
have at their disposal detailed IN
formation regarding the Dutch
Jews. For the previous German
measures had one purpose only:
to segregate the Jews from all
other Dutchmen, to exclude all
contact with them and to under
mine our sentiments of sympathy
and solidarity.
In this they have been more
successful than we know and are
willing to admit. The Jews are
to be quietly wiped out and we,
who witness it, are to be deaf,
blind and dumb. We may not
hear their grooming, we may not
see their despair; we may not give
utterance to our disgust and our

COMPELS REJECTION
OF ANTI-JEWISH LAWS

London (JPS)-Opposition on
the part of King Christian and the
entire Danish Parliament was so
great that the pro-Nazi cabinet
was compelled to reject Premier
Scavenius' plan to introduce anti
Jewish laws early in 1943 in ac-
cordance with an order issued by
the German government. A report
from Stockholm states that Sea-
VENUS was obliged to withdraw
the measure following it's reject

In the beginning Of July, 1912,

threatened wholesale deportation
of all Dutch Jews to the Nazi-
made ghettos of eastern Europe,
more especially in Poland. In al

ers printed a pamphlet on yellow
paper and swiftly distributed it
throughout the land. This fact
has been mentioned in short dis
patches from London; but the
compete text of this remarkable
document was not available before
now. It has just been received in
New York and it may be called as
noble and courageous an example
of Dutch firmness as any hitherto
reported. The document reads, in
part:
Fellow countrymen: The de-
portation of all Jewish citizens be-
tween the ages of 16 and AZ is the
final link in the long chain of in
human measures of the last few
weeks: the Yellow Star; the
requisitioning of all bicycles be-
longing to Jews; the ban on enter
ing the homes of non-Jews; the in
terdiction against the use of the
telephones, trolley cars or trains;
the ban on buying in other than
Jewish shops and during other
than stipulated hours, etc.
On July Is, 1912 at 1870 a. m.
the first group of Jews is to as

at Amsterdam. After that date
1.2OO Jews will be forced to leave
daily. From Westbrook, in Drente,
where the unfortunate people will
be selected" a minimum of 1000
Jews will be deported at one time.
Specialists in this sort of hang
mans work have arrived from
Prague to expedite the deporta-
ton as much as possible. In all,
some 10000 Jewish Netherland-

our country.

18Th Century Neutrality
Obsolete, Ball Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Sept. 8.-Senator Ball,
Republican, of Minnesota, speaking
here today in behalf of legislation
to form postwar world peace or
ganization, declared that neutrality,
in the 18th century sense, is as
obsolete today as so-called isola-
tionism."
Senator Ball is one of the sponsors
OF resolution urging that the
United Nations complete an organi-
zation now that will insure postwar
peace. He addressed the Atlanta
Kiwanis Club.
No one nation In the world is
strong enough to assure peace and
security for itself, by ITSELF" Sem
ator Ball declared. "The League
OF Nations outlawed aggression, but
depended on the forces of individ-
ual nations to make 1t stick. That
simply did not work. No nation
alone was willing to fight to keep
the peace Of the world unless it was
threatened directly
What is needed, he asserted, Is
"a task force that can and will be
ordered into action Immediately
