Jewish Race
Being Wiped
Out by Nazis
Hitler May Attempt TO Sal
wage Victory by
Murder

WASHINGTON, June l3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt told Congress that
as the final Nazi defeat approaches
"the fury of their insane desire to
wipe out the Jewish race in Europe
continues undiminished."
In transmitting the report for ar
rangements for caring for war re-
fugees, he said, This is but one
example of the many Christian
groups which are being murdered.
Knowing that they have lost the
war, the Nazis are determined to
complete their program of mass
determination. This program is but
one manifestation of Hitler's aim to
salvage from military defeat a vic
tory of Nazi principles the very
principles this war must destroy
unless we shall have fought in vain. =
The President outlined arrange
ments to bring about 1000 refugees
to the United States with temporary
housing at military camp near
Oswego, New York After the war,
he said, the refugees, mostly women
and children, will be returned to
their homeland.
