GERMAN MASSES BEING DELUDED BY NAZI LEADERS Berlin (WNS) — In the hope of distracting the attention of tens of thousands of Nazis disillusioned with the failure of the Hitler regime to carry out its promises, the German government has launched a new and a concerted campaign against Jews, Catholics, Protestant insurgents and other uncompromising foes of the regime. The first step in the intensive drive was a warning to the Jews in the form of open incitation to pogroms by Propaganda Minister Goebbels. Addressing a mass meeting in the Berlin Sportpalast, Goebbels declared that "if the boycott (against Germany) were carried to lengths actually endangering our economic situation, it would not mean that we would let the Jews go free. No! The hatred, rage and despair of the German people would first df all vent itself on those who can be grabbed in the homeland. "If the Jews imagine that the bloodless course of tfie German revolution gives them the right to disport themselves ag-ain in their habitual impudence and arrogance and provoke the German people, let them be warned not to tax our patience too severely. We have spared the Jews, but if they think they can therefore re-appear-on the stage and in the editorial office, if they imagine they can again stroll along the Kurfuerstendanrm as if nothing at all had happened, let Them take my words as a last warning." Warning the outside world that the boycott was doing the German Jews the worst service possible, Goebbels asserted that all Germany knew that "if part of the outside world continues the anonymous boycott against German goods this is due to our own Jewish fellow-citizens. German Jews will be left alone by us if they will quietly and modestly retire within their four walls and if they will refrain from putting forth a claim to equal worth and equal rights with Germans. If they do not, they will have to blame themselves for the consequences."

So Declares Famed Author, Heinrich Mann, in Paris Symposium Paris, (JTA).—That a ^ "Economy in Thinking" is the oik kind of achievement the Hitler reg, me has brought to Germany is th» conclusion reached by Heinrich Mann in a symposium on the accomplishments of the Nazis, just published in the Revue des Vivants of Paris. "As to their original purpose, the establishment of a planned economy in agriculture, industry, and commerce, that part of their program they have completely abandoned," says the distinguished German exile. "In fact under Nazi rule Germany has reverted to the green trade and free exploitation of labor idea of 100 years ago. "They have succeeded in - regimenting people's thoughts, so that no one in Germany can say, read, or write, or even think, except what the Nazis permit. But the Nazi economic program has been entirely abandoned. According to the German experience, it is easier to curb the powers of the intellect than the powers of moneys Even Jews in high economic posts have not been disturbed. This is even true of the publishing field, where some of the larger publishing houses are still owned by Jews." Another accomplishment of the Hitler regime, according to Mann, is that the Germans have ceased to read books and even newspapers. They are too busy being drilled and paraded. And when they do read, the fact that the exiled Thomas Mann's works are read more than those of the "Fuehrer" and his associates, does not reflect well on Nazi literary achievements and raises the question •whether the Nazis have really won ovei German minds. The only German minds the Nazis have won over, ha insists, are those of the "youth under twenty years of age, as the latter, being immature and lacking Jin. critical judgment, are easily swayed * by vain promises and colorful phrases."

FOUND IN BARCELONA i 1ARRAN0 HIDEOUT Zurich (JTA) — A Torah scrollthat had seen the days of the Spanish Inquisition has just been discovered on an estate near Barcelona, where owners claim that their Jewish ancestors had resided on the same estate since the fifteenth century. The Barcelona correspondent of the Judische Presszentrale of Zurich, who recently visited the old Spanish-Jewish estate, reported that he was shown into a secret room in a subcellar in which the ancient Torah had been kept for centuries. The, room, which is windowless and located about twenty feet underground, had served as the meeting place for the Marranos of the district, who had secretly prr....::(3 Judaism for hundreds of years. Although it is over six hundred years old, the scroll is well preserved. It is kept in a special case built into the stone wall of the room behind a disappearing door, camonflaged with all the traditional mystery story atmosphere.

Goeibbels' opening shot was accompanied by new anti-Semitic onslaughts in his own paper, Der Angriff and Streicher's paper, Der Stuermer. Der Angriff launched a drive to "teach Jews to know their place" and called on its readers to communicate all incidents of "Jewish impudence." Admonishing its readers to "keep a close watch on them—in the streets, out in the open, in restaurants and places of amusements, at work and on trips— : everywhere they may appear individually but especially when in groups." Reappearing again after the ban of its inflamatory May Day issue, Der Stuermer continues its violent antiSemitic preaching. The sheet deLondon (JTA)—Most Rev.
