Repatriated Aboard the Gripsholm
NEW YORK, June 8.-During
eight months as a Hitler prisoner
of war I have seen Germany from
inside and outside her prison camps
have travelled through fortified areas
and over her railways from Brenner
Pass to the Polish Corridor, and am
convinced that she still expects to
win the war.
She is counting on stopping the
Allied invasion, forcing a stalemate
and an eventual, negotiated peace
which to every German would mean
victory.
Her warlords tell the German
people and those of Nazi satellite
countries that:
l. Germany has at least 4,000, 900
crack troops in the west, backed
by powerful Notifications.
2. She has saved a minimum of
5000 fighter aircraft alone to meet
the invasion, deliberately letting the
Allies believe there Is a shortage
3. Her bombed-out war factories
are being rebuilt in new locations
by captive workers as fast as they
are smashed.
4. Communications systems, great,
fast electrified railways, are virtu-
ally intact except in the Berlin and
Northern French districts.
5. The high command claims 300

Tunnel, Democrat, of Delaware told
q reporter the Democrats were not
going to sit idly by and let the

"T don't want this campaign COM

cause that organization happens to
be supporting President Roosevelt
for fourth term" Senator Tunnel

"If we are going to investigate

Mr.. Hillman, who wrote Senator

Ter had charged.
Mr.. Hillman put the CIO COM

Hillman called on the New York

What They Are Saying On The
Argentine Situation

Under the headline ''Why Not Catholic DelegatiOn?"
The American Jewish World weekly newspaper of Mime
apOls and st. Paul, edited by L. H. Frsch cOmments
1.-The suggestion has been made in the press that the
American Jewish Conference send a delegation to the
Argentine to study the plight of the Jews there and OBJ
tain the facts that not obtanab any other way be-
cause of the strict totaarian censorship This is what
was thought to be effective method of studying the grow
growing fascist spirit in the official circles there The
can people and the American Government
1T is as effectve-and impractical-a suggestion
as the one in the popular fable about hanging the bell in
the neck OF the cat. The question how it be done?
Will the Argentine government which has gone far
to forbid the publication of President ROOseves report
Congress cOndemnng the persecution of Jews other
minOrities in Europe permit Jewish investigation COM
mittee from the United States?
1--WE wonder whether this may not be tried effectively
Many leading Catholic chuchmen have repeatedly express
ed their for the Jewish victims of Nazism The
Pope himself has number of times condemned the perse-
cution of the European Jews
"The Argentine is Catholic country The great mass
OF its population is made up of pOus church people.
why not have the American Jewish Conference con-
TACT In informal and quiet the Catholic leaders
the United States and ask to their influence with the
Catholic authorities in the Argentine and ask them
er themselves behalf of the prosecuted minority not
only in the of humanity but also for the sake of the
moral and spiritual character of Catholic country?
The physical and mental pain of the prosecutions in
the Argentine is Jewish. But the moral responsibility

answers back at those who end
up with a review of ZiOniSm by a
Zionist with this remark: "Of
course, he gives a favorable de-
ScriptiOn of Palestine. He is pre-
JUDGED"
Of his book Maurice Samuel
says: What follows Tin the
chapters of the book is fusion
of research and reportage, record
and impression (of the Jewish
Homeland in Palestine). It is all
colored by my positive attitude
toward the enterprise, and to that
extent the reader will gather
something regarding one aspect of
the forces engaged; nevertheless,
the facts and figures are object
lively reliable. The truth about
the Jewish Homeland cannot be
told by someone Indifferent or
hostile to its fate, any more than
significant biography can be
written by someone cold to it's
subject. The intellectual problem
is at once subtle and simple; it is
not solved by concealing or deny
ing ones affection since affection
is a powerful instrument of re-
search. It is solved by strength
ening the affection so as to place
it beyond the reach of bribery"
What follows in "Harvest in
the Desert" is told in the authors
usual fluent style. Harvest in
the Desert" is prose poem sing
ing the song of democratic hero
ism in an awakened people, strug-
Cling to new birth and new Gre
alton.

The Protestant Magazine

The Protestant Magazine and it's Textbook Commission
ave by it's blunt articles against clerical fascsm and anti
omsm caused much embarrassment to Jewish circles
hat queer trio has spoken out against it, The American
pwish Committee, the defamation League of Bna
R'rth and the Jewish Labor Committee Although the
Jewish Congress refused to comment upon the
Magazine it agreed with the other three national Jewish
Oups that the Protestant Magazine should appealing
or material support from Jews and appeal to Christian
rOups for support.
This seems to be the basic cause for the protest
painst the magazines policy On this basis the statement
ssued by the Jewish Labor Committee is most compre
ensve The statement reads: 1T is the position of the
ewish Labor Committee that Christians it to them
elves and to the Jewish people to relentless strug
lie against antiSemitsm. To be effective in the struggle
hey must devise their methods recruit their following
the Christian world and look to Christian groups for
nanca support"
Whereas the other two groups (The American Jewish
Committee and the A. d: L. in their statements fail to go
the of the problem of Christian opposition to anti
Eemsm the statement of the Jewish Labor Committee
OeS make stab at the idea.
The statement expressed by the other two groups are
most interesting when considered through the viewpoint of
he Jewish Labor Committee. For the A. D. L. has been
behind several publications which appear under the blessing
Il non-Jewsh names. These publications highly pa
riOtic and high level They pretty and sweet
hey certainly different from the fiery brand OF journal
offered by The Protestant Magazine Apparently they
represent what the A. D. L. believes to be the Christian
pproach to combating ant-Semitism.
The American Jewish Committee seems to be in agree
en here. They chOOsy of their Christian attitudes
2 fighting religious bias.
(To date those journals and commentators, along
18th the Protestant which have developed policy of COM
ng antSemitsm by exposing the forces behind it have
ven very distastefu the American Jewish Committee
ne crusade carried by PM Walter Winche The Nation
md other liberal to have dspeased the Com
hittee)
The statements of the A. d. L. and the American Jew
eh Committee almost identical. They oppose The
Oestant Digest the grounds hat the periodical tends
arouse anmOsity and dstrut between the people OF diff
erent creeds
OF all this commentary the American Jewish Congress
men asked for opinion seemed to hit the nail in the
cad when it declined to comment Their statement goes
to say AS for differences which are said to have
risen between The Protestant and another Christian com
union the American Jewish Congress deems it the very
ence of unwsdom on the part of Jews to enter into the
Scusson of such differences"

Elbogen It is translated from
the German by Moses Hadas =.
EIbOgen was commissioned by
the Society to write the volume
on Jewish history as supplement
to Graetz's famous History of
the Jews, for the Society felt
that although Graetz was a great
historian and writer he could not
properly evaluate the events OF
his own day which is the
truth of all historians
A refugee from Hitler, Elbogen
shows the reader that the pres
emit German situation grew out of
seeds buried deep in the thought
and ambitions of 10th century
Germany Even as he traces
deep into the roots of German
anti-Semitism so also does he de-
velop the structure of modern
Zionism The book also deals
with the growing Jewish commun-

Stock Prices Narrow

NEW YORK, May l6.-A high de-

Cheering to financial quarters was
the idea that liquidation for inva-
sion insurance appeared to have
pretty we'll run its course, and the
feellng was that, with the arrival of
"D-day" and initial Allied successes,
the list might turn around and ne
gotiate a substantial rally. Exist
ence of huge idle investment funds
served as a trend bulwark, and nib
bling here and there was based on
earnings prospects and the belief
much lower levels were unlikely.

RICHMOND, Va, May 16.-Rev-
enue from the operation of the
Southern Railway Co. in 1943 to-
tailed S245 ,532 051, an increase of
40926,470. or 20 per cent President
Ernest E. Norris of Washington,
D. c., announced through the 50th'
annual report at a stockholders
meeting here today.
Net railway operating income
showed decrease from 1926, ,818
in 1912 to 35,744,757 or 1456 per
cent of the gross income, in 1943
Norris attributed the drop to higher
basic wages, increases in coal prices
and the increase in railway tax
accruals
Both freight and passenger reve-
nue. reached new high records,
freight bringing a 1892 per cent
increase and passengers a SO per
cent increase over the preceding
year. Passenger revenue constituted
% per cent of gross revenue.
Large as were the increases in
gross revenue, the 1943 increases in
operating expenses and railway tax
accruals were even greater" morris
said, reporting sl36, 6,6o4,153 for oper-
ating expenses and $70,437, ,236 for
tax accruals. These were 20.1O per
cent and 69.78 per cent more than
in 1912, respectively.
After deducting operating ex-
penses, which included sharply in
creased wages, and after taxes and
equipment and joint facility rents,
there was left but 1856 cents out of
each dollar of operating revenue to
meet fixed charges, finance capital
improvements, buy new equipment
