ing able to devote it's full ener-
gies to the task of eliminating
anti-Semitic statements from text
books, it is compelled to waste
time and resources on exposing
those hush-hushers who hope to
save Jewry by removing from
sight anything that might irritate
the friendly anti-Semites. These
appeasing groups, if they perserve
in their policy, will inevitably
have to agree to remove the Jews
from sight as the next phase of
their efforts to please the anti
Semites who tell them, at good
will palavers. that I'VE like the
Jews, but
THE PROTESTANT has always
taken the position that anti-Semit-
ism is Christian sin, that the
exposure of anti-Semitism should
not make Jews feel uncomfortable.

posure is intended to annoy and
shame those anti-Semitic Fascists
who masquerade as good Ameri-

A day looms when the hush
hushers, who, Notwithstanding
their record of total failure, de-
mand a monopoly on all activity
pertaining to Jews in this coun-
try, will realize that the Fascists
do not and will not differentiate
between them and those noble
bearded Jews depicted by Arthur

organizations which. instead of
hitting the prejudice-mongers at
tempt to appease them, the Text
book Commission launched a pub
lie educational campaign to tear
down the curtain that screens
those self-styled opponents of good
will who, while giving lip service
to democracy condone the very po-
litical acts which engender pre-
JUDGE, hatred and discrimination.
The Textbook Commission es-
tablished by THE PROTESTANT
fearlessly threw the spotlight on
the widespread anti-Semitic con-
spiracy that operates subversively
without opposition or hindrance.
In cooperation with expert public
relations minds, the Textbook
Commission prepared a national
advertising campaign designed to
drag the underground anti-Semit-
ism into the open and to round up
liberal Americans into aggressive
fighting units. Yet no sooner had
the first full-page advertisements
appeared in Chicago and Philadel-
phia than the Textbook Commits
sion found itself the target of at
tack-not only from the anti
Semitic power stations, but from
Jewish and Christian-Jewish good
will organizations. A swarm of
snipers was let loose against THE
PROTESTANT. Jews and Christ
ians were warned not to support
the Textbook Commission.
When these attempts to under
mine support failed, the National
Conference of Christians and Jews
seconded by the Anti-Defama-
ton League and under the guild
ance of Judge Joseph Proskauer,
President of the American Jewish
COMMITTEE, who In turn acted as
representative of so august a
parsonage as Archbishop Spell
man, very definitely proclaims
that the elimination of anti
Semitic statements in American
textbooks was an accomplished
fact. Why, therefore, pay atten-
ton to the Textbook Commission
established by THE PROTEST
ANT, a body which actually uses
controversial methods that would
irritate those guilty of spreading
falsehood and calumnies in Sunday
School and parochial school text
books?

To cloak this failure with facade
of non-existent success is. how
ever inexcusable and must lead to
fatal consequences.
In the past decade. during
which these organizations have
grown into impressive institutions
with high-salaried executives di-
recting the defense of Jewish
rights. anti-Semitism in this coun-
try has reached proportions that
surpass the scope of anti-Jewish
hate in Germany in the days i'm
mediately preceding Hitler's as
sumption of power. This is not
the hysterical statement of an
alarmist. To deduce anything else
from the overwhelming evidence
supplied by the confidential poll
would be dishonest. When 81 per
cent of those questioned in the
poll answered that they would
support a campaign against the
Jews-which means that one out
of every five Americans is ready
to join in an anti-Semitic crusade
one cannot but conclude that
anti-Semitism is triumphant in
this country And for the benefit
of those who labor under the de-
fusion that Catholics, as a relig-
ious minority. are the victims in
stead Of co-perpetrators of activi-
ties of religious intolerance. it
must be stated that Catholics and
Protestants are anti-Jewish in ex-
actly the same proportion, accord
ing to the breakdown of the polls
figures.
The hush-hush policy of good
will organizations has produced
lethargic impotence among those
groups and individuals who would
if they were encouraged-ag-
attack the systematic
spread of anti-Semitic propa-
ganda in this country.
There are. unquestionably. a
great many individuals-so some af-
passively with organiza-
tons presumably fighting racial
others totally unattach-
feel very keenly that it is
growing very late and that it is
high time to counterattack the
enemies of democracy. But their
genuine desires to stand up and
fight Fascistic anti-Semitism is
curbed by those profess
sional good-willers. Jewish and
non-Jewish, who point with an air
of authority to the great advances
racial and religious brotherhood
has made in this country:
SILENCE Don't speak of
growth of anti-Semitism
Speaking of it produces it
We have ways to achieve results.
Leave it to us ="
This is the advice proud and
self-respecting Jews receive from
the general staff of Jewish and
non-sectarian organizations whose
program is to fight anti-Semitism
and defend Jewish rights.

Moscow Pact Criticism
Quoted by Miss Sumner
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Repre-
sentative Jessie Sumner. Republi-
can, of Illinois declared yesterday
that some Washington officials pri-
Nately criticized the Moscow agree
ment as "a victory for the Axis"
and believe its effect will be Simply
to transfer Europe from Hitler to
Stain"
They say because it was agreed
to let the first Allied nation that
reaches liberated country occupy
it until elections are held, the effect
is; simply to transfer Europe from
Hitler to Stalin," Miss Sumner said
in an address to about 1000 persons
observing the 25th anniversary of
the founding of the Polish republic
She said some Washington quar-
ters believe that Stain will be
the first to reach most countries
and will use the elections to seize
control of each country the way
Hitler did in Austria and Stain
himself did in Poland.
They argue that those Europeans
who fear both Hitler and Stain
may now fear Stain more than
Hitler because Hitler is already
doomed to defeat by overwhelming
Allied forces, while Stain will rule
Europe after his own fashion, with
his rule guaranteed by the new
Allied organization:'

Bismarck, Former Envoy
To Rome, Reaches Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 22.-The ar
rival here of Otto Won Bismarck
envoy to Rome, who was replaced
just before the italian capitulation
posed diplomatic mystery today.
Bismarck and his Swedish-born
wife were reported by the Stock

Berlin Saturday night. He refused
to see visitors.
Grandson of Germany's great
Iron Chancellor" Bismarck, Otto
Won Bismarck formerly held diplo-
matte posts both in London and
Rome.
Some thought he came to Sweden
only on a visit with his wife, the
daughter of a prominent Swedish
architect. But there was specula-
ton that he might have been as
signed to Stockholm for a new
German propaganda effort, or that
he left Berlin because he was in

Desperate Resistance
Forecast Unless Reds
Treat Poles as Allies
By the Associated Press

| Ds VIC AocoSAatCu ACoSs
Polish sources that cannot be
otherwise identified declared today
that the Russian Army must enter
Poland as an ally, and not as a
conqueror, or face desperate re-
sistance by the Poles themselves.
Determination to fight back unless
the Soviets re-establish diplomatic
relations with the London Polish
government-in-exile was voiced in
responsible quarters here as Red
troops plunged closer to the old
Polish frontier, established in 1921.
Despite recent statement by
Constantin Oumansky, Soviet AM
bassador to Mexico City, indicating
Russia still recognizes the western
boundary drawn with the Germans
in 1899, the Poles maintain that only
the prewar frontier is valid. \
The Polish position as stated by
an authoritative source, who re-
quested anonymity pending clari-
fication of the stand to be taken by
the Allied high command, is:
l. If military necessity requires
Soviet occupation Of Polish terri
tory, there must be an understand
ing between the two governments
based on the resumption of normal
diplomatic relations and on the
principle of sovereign equality.
(The Russians severed their re-
lations with the exiled Polish gov
ernment early this year after the
latter had requested an Interna-
tional Red Cross investigation of re-
ports that the Russians had killed
thousands of Polish officers near

be considered a test case of the

Extremists in Japan
Work Against Reds,
Soviet Journal Says
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Nov. 22.-The Soviet
labor magazine, War and the Work
ing Glass, asserts that extremist
elements" in Japan have worked
against Russia in behalf OF Ger
many.
Without elaboration, the publica-
tion said yesterday that Japan had
been pushed into war despite a
shortage of materials, then added
I'm their hopes of a victory of
Fascist Germany over Europe, these
extremist elements in Japan also
inspired various anti-Soviet plans. y
(The statement was one of the
strongest to come through Rus
sian censorship in recent months.
Russia and Japan signed a five
year neutrality pact in Moscow
in l941 and Russia has kept her
hands off in the Pacific war;
Americans Hold Initiative.
The magazine, discussing the Pa
ciflc war at some length, said the
initiative rested completely in the
hands of the American armed
forces" and that the situation was
far from favorable to the Japanese.
At home in Japan, the publication
declared, Premier Hideki TOTO has
replaced a policy of brute force"
with one of "skillful demagoguery"
through attempted appeasement of
moderate, financial and aristocratic
elements, the new policy being de-
signed to draw the people of the
conquered countries of East Asia
to their side"
Persecution of Church Denied.
The magazine then added:
Losing faith in the possibility of
a favorable outcome of the war
being waged all over the immense
spaces Of East Asia, the japanese
politicians obviously are looking for
new ways to keep their political,
military and economic supremacy"
In another article the magazine
declared. the status of the Russian
Orthodox Church in the Soviet
Union constituted a final refutation
of charges Of Soviet persecution of
religion.
Election of Metropolitan Sergei
Of Moscow as patriarch of all Rus
sia and setting up of the Holy
Synod were attributed to the

Despite this accolade, the BIC re-

been called off by the Vichy radio
without explanation-the second
time this has happened in two

This action caused considerable
speculation in view of recent re-
