' New York, (J.T-A.)^In a "stater meht of belief," addressed to the heads of every institution- of higher learning in Germany, 142 presidents of colleges and universities and 77 of this country's leading social scientists in every section of the United States have signed a declaration inspired by the recent political developments in Germany affecting Jewish and other minority elements, •which: is being forwarded to the German • educators by the National Conference of Jews and Christians. ' Accompanying the s t a t e m e n t , which was characterized as being "in no sense a protest but rather a scientific approach to a problem and an appeal for common sense," are indidividual expressions of opinion from a number of the signers, as well as a declaration from Newton D. Baker, co-chairman of the National Conference. " I t looks now as though attention had turned away from the Jews to the Catholics. After . a while, it will be against some other group until those who are generating the hatreds will be in a minority. Then all of the victims will get together, constitute a majority, and the episode will end with the biter being bitten until he cries for mercy."

Milwaukee.—(J. T. A.)—The Central Conference of American Rabbis, which concluded its forty-seventh annual convention here, took a firm stand on a number of issues affecting not only the Teligious, but the social, economic and political life of the country. One of the highly interesting features of the convention was the paper on the concept of God in Jewish life and literature read by Dr. Bernard Heller of Ann Arbor, Mich. Defending the traditional Jewish concept of God, Dr. Heller criticized the school of Jewish thought which attempts to "dovetail the implied creed and implicit character of Judaism with the ideologies of modern Humanism, secular Hebraism and a non-religious or even irreligious type of nationalism.1 The Lind quartet consisting of and which claims that "allegiance to Cantor Joshua Lind and his three the Jewish people rather than to the sons, Maurrie, David and Pinchikel, Jewish religion is supreme and cardlias /been re-engaged for another ap- inal in Jewish life." pearance in Omaha due to their popThe conference went on record as ular, success last week-end. favoring recognition of Russia by They will be heard in a farewell the UnitedtheStates; commending Presiconcert at the Jewish Community dent Roosevelt's far-reaching social Center on Sunday evening, July 9, legislation program, social control of at 8:15 p. m. the profit system and other social The program will be entirely dif- measures; favoring the principle of ferent from last week's, and a fea- freedom of expression by the rabbi in ture will be a special arrangement the pulpit and in other fields; as conby Cantor Lind of "Eli, Eli." . demning sweat shop operators, particFrom here they leave for Holly- ularly Jewish employers in that catewood to fill concert and talkie en- gory as "representing an element ungagements.

Nazis Propose to Create Ghetto Union for Jews Berlin-—(J. T. A.)—In coni«<1tion with the announced prohibition against Jews as members of the new ''national labor front," a Government plan for the establishment of a purely Jewish workers' union has been announced. Such a "ghetto union" would not be likely to be of any help to Jewish workers, it is generally felt here. The workers appealed to the rest of the Jewish population for their support, pointing out that two-thirxls of the total Jewish population consists of workers and employees who will be most severely affected- •.
