PREDICTS CONGRESS-
IONAL ACTION IN DE-
NUNCIATION OF
NAZI ATROCITIES

New York (JPS)-Senator AL
ben w. Barley, majority leader,
intends to submit for approval by
both Houses of Congress a resolu-
ton denouncing Nazi atrocities a.
gainst the Jews, it was stated by
Congressman Emanuel Celler at
the 58th annual meeting of the
Has here. Congressman Celler
urged that Alaska be opened for
Jewish colonization.
In discussing the failure of the
United Nations to provide a haven
for the victims of Hitler's perse-
cution, he asserted that England
is "a far greater offender than we
are when it comes to the exclusion
of immigrants, particularly Jews.
The Homeland and the Common
wealths, the Crown colonies and
the inundated territories are her
matically sealed against refu-
gees" the Congressman charged.
Mr.. Celler urged that both Great
Britain and the United States, re-
define their respective immigra-
ton policies.

Why NaZiS Are Still

STOCKHOLM (JTA)-"We can

ganda," the Helsinki daily, Sano-
mat, comments editorially this
week, discussing Hitler's recent
address in which he reiterated his
threat to exterminate the Jews.

of a raging war, would not have

Are Giraud's Anti-Semitic Laws
In North Africa Ended?

Washington (JPS)-With a des-
perate attempt being made by
French High Commissioner Cen
eral Henri Giraud, and particular
ly his American advisers, to win
back pro-democratic sentiment in
the United States which has been
alienated because of the retention
of the Vichy atmosphere in North
Africa, competent observers here
still questioned whether the anti
Semitic laws have been complete
ly abolished in North Africa. This
skepticism prevails despite wide
ly heralded statement from AL
giers by General Giraud broadcast
by the Moracco radio of which the
gist was that "a decree signed in
Vichy is not valid in French At
rica."
Vigorously attacked by liberal
reporters attached to Allied head
quarters in North Africa, General
Giraud made public an order of
the French Civil and Military
High Command rejecting the Of
fetal journal of Algeria which, on
March 2, 1913, had published two
DEGREES dated Oct. 10, 1912 as is
sued in Vichy relative to the sta
tus of Jews who are natives of
Algeria. "This publication was
made without my authority" said
the General, while M. Bouny, a
Director of the Government Cen
eral of Algeria was relieved OF his
post for permitting the puDllca-
ton.
Hope that the anti-Semitic laws
would eventually be Withdrawn
was seen by some interpreters IN
the last section of Giraud's state
ment: "a decree signed in Vlchy
is not valid in French Africa. Inc
German occupation has interrupt
ed the free exercise of national
sovereignty. We must draw tne
logical consequences. All that is
necessary will be done"

gime, saying: What is needed
is a salesman who will convince
them General Giraud and his
associates) that the cause of the
United Nations is just. They al
ready know that that cause will

Mr.. Middleton had also previ-
ously reported that the American
Minister in North Africa, Robert
D. Murphy, was finding it diff
cult to obtain repeal of the anti
Jewish laws because he was on
friendly terms with many of the
people when he was preparing for
the Allied landings.

The United Nations have
pledged that they will liberate all
the Nazi enslaved people, they
have pledged that they will permit
the liberated people to live as de-
cent human beings after the
chains of their oppressor have
been broken. Here is a chance to
show the world, and especially
the millions of unfortunate VIC
Tins of Nazi brutality, that we
are going to live up to our prom
ise."
At the conclusion of his address,
Mr.. Capozzoli arose to say: "All
the United Nations should join in
an effort to obtain, through neu-
trail countries wherever possible,
the release of Jewish victims and
others who will unquestionably
meet the terrible fate which mil
lions have already met. Our own
country should lose no time in in
itiating whatever steps may be
productive of this result. I have
no doubt that every decent Amer
lean will stand four-square behind
his Government in this effort"
No further mention of the SUBJ
ject was made in the House that
day.
Mr.. Dickstein, appealing to the
Americanism of his hearers, ask
ed, during his formal address: "Is
there anyone here, anyone who
has a heart and a conscience, who
would dare to say mo- to the out
cry of people in such pain and
agony? Is there any human being
who would dare to break faith
with millions of innocent fellow
beings who are going through the
tortures of hell because their fore
fathers dared to give divine law
to the world, because their proph-
cts dared to give ideas to this
world upon which basic part Of
our civilization rests?
America and England must do
something to keep faith with all
these unfortunate victims of our
common enemy. They must do
everything in their power to save
as many human beings as posi-
ble."

Millions of people are being
slaughtered today and nothing has
been done, nor has this Congress
gone on record to express its
views on this question since this
wholesale slaughter was started"
he declared.
1T is most unfortunate that in
the treatment of this grave prob
lem, affecting so many millions of
human lives, there is such painful
distinction between the silence
shown by the American people at
large and the energetic and enthu-
siastic efforts and expressions on
the part of the people of Great
Britain" he told his colleagues.
Il am appealing to you today
not because my people are getting
the worst of this, but on a human
basis, following the policy that we
have pursued since the time of
George Washington, in assisting
