By Ali SEGAL

' • <: T h e Boss' Son >It came to pass that in the fullness of time (as I am told) Hitler came to heaven. To those -who •may at once protest that heaven JB*TIO place Hitler I should reply that this was also the opinion of most of those who abide in heaven. 'Though their earthly prides and prejudices and vanities have fallen away from them people still are quite particular there. Even the saints were not happy in the presence- of Father Coughlin who came to heaven about the time Hitler did. In the years before, the pure air of the interstellar spaces was made almost stifling by the venom of his voice. The saints were afraid of him and St. Theresa (who is of the Little Flower) had gone to her sanctuary to pray that Coughlin's soul might give itself only to justice and truth and kindness in heaven. .Yet the divine mercy of heaven IB lor everybody and so Hitler got in even as Coughlin did. And, indeed, afterwards when Goei*bels • came clumping on his short , leg he was admitted as welL Still there was no embracing o r Hitler as of a brother coming home at last. It is, indeed, the cuBtom -in heaven to embrace all the newcomers whatever their position on earth had been. Even men who "had been hanged were so pleasantly suprised by these brotherly 'manifestations t h a t they were glad to have been hanged..-" ':..- - "' ' "Oh, hanging was the best thing that ever happened to me," exclaimed many a hanged man as lie delighted in the friendliness of

heaven.

But Hitler stood unattended at the threshold of heaven. Even -the numerous Nazis who had died for him "had no Heils for their former Fuehrer, though he addressed them with gutteral commands: It was even the more painful to him that some of them laughed at h i m . (I am not speaking as one who approves of all this,.for I am really one who believes that in "heaven even' Hitler and Coughlin " should be embraced and kissed. I am merely reporting what I heard.) In, short, uobody liked Hitler. All the Czecho-Slovakians remembered the humiliation their nelf-respect had suffered at his hands. The Austrians recalled what a joyous people they were until he cam back to Austria. SpaniBh children hadn't 'forgotten even in the' everlasting 'sunlight of the celestial, gardens the horror of bomb raids that had killed them. (Some of them had bedn iilled "by Nazi bombers in rehearsal for even bigger slaughters.) --In .fact, a little girl who had '. r treen torn asunder by a bomb tembarrassed l i m by asking, "Are yon really the one-that did i t ? " "Ah, myr dear child," he re~ pliedv"we were only practicing/' Englishmen a n d Frenchmen •*ere mindful of the dreadful fears that darkened their days on earth on his- account. To be an Englishman or a Frenchman had been a matter of living by the day, for nobody could see as far a s tomorrow; except that against tomorrow one must get his gas mask ready, or one must see to it that the door to the underground : shelter was open, since tomorr'ow one might need it. (Englishmen and, Frenchmen had been -glad to escape to heavehfrom all this.) ..Americans knew him- as .the one whose existence in the world had put an end to the happy security Americans always had felt before. Until his time Americans liad had nothing to fear except '. poverty and hunger and the breadline and going on relief. Between the two oceans they felt safe at least from sudden death by bombs- their democratic way of life, which while far from perfect still was the best in the world,, was safe . . . The Jews in heaven (German Jews, American Jews, English Jews; all varieties of Jews) trembled when it became known that Hitler had arrived. Must heaven, too, have him? Was there no escape from him? Death had been BO good to them until now. - Death had delivered many of them from concentration camps. Death Jiad reunited families he • had dispersed. In fact, all heaven treinblad and Hitler stood deserted at the thres'hold. (I am not mentioning this in gloating spirit. No! I am a man who believes that in heaven bygones should be bygones. I am only the reporter faithfully giving what he has heard.) Now, as everybody knows, there are • mansions for everyone . in heaven. Biff mansions in which the brethren dwell together in peace. As is quite natural Eng* lishmen. like to dwell with EUKlishmen, Germans with Germans, Frenchmen with Frenchmen, Jews with Jews. Yet there is no hostility between these groups which mis together socially, as is only proper in heaven. When it came time for the angels to find a house for Hitler the tenants in all the mansions were afraid to have him in any of their houses. "We remember him . We're afraid . . . We remember the pain . . . We're afraid . . . We remember our dread of tomorrow which was always so dark . , We're afraid." The angels who are ever meticulous to preserve the happine3s

of heaven saw there was nothing

to do b u t to give Hitler a mansion to himself on the edge of .heaven. Where the winds meet at • the outer bastions of' heaven there stood Hitler's mansion. He •was alone in the vast immensity of his house. "Yet there was one in heaven who pitied him . . . •'He's so lorialy and I shall go to live with him (Continued on page 8.)

Pontiff Had Been Openly Opposed by Nazis

HAD SCORED RACISM Believe Pius XII Will Continue Policy of Predecessor "Vatican City (J'EA) -—A heavy blow was dealt to the forces of totalitarianism and racism when Eugenlo Cardinal Pacelli, Cardinal-Camerlengo and Papal Secretary of State under t h e late Pope Piux XI, was chosen as Pope in one of the quickest papal elections in history. The 262nd Pope, whose election had been openly opposed by the German press as t h e " h o p e of the People's Front and the Jews," took the name of Pope Piux XII — indicating that he would follow in the footsteps of the late Pontiff, who openly denounced persecution and racial doctrine. Pope Pius XH is known to be even more hostile to Nazism than was his predecessor. Der Angriff, organ of Reichsminister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, warned on Feb. 22 that "Cardinal Pacelli's policy wonld lead to a crusade against the totalitarian states" and declared that if he was elected the anti-Nazi cardinals, Verdier of Paris and Mundelein of Chicago" will return home victorious." * Responsible For Policy I t is the general belief that Cardinal Pacelli. as Secretary of State, was largely responsible for the "Vatican's strong attitude against Nazism and racialism. His views on current persecution, were made clears in an address to the Bucharistic Congress in Budapest last year. "Where how," lie asked, ^'are -Herod and Pilate and Nero and Diocletian and Julian the Apostate, first century persecutors all? Ashes and dust are these enemies of Christianity! Ashes and dust and all that they^ coveted, pursned and perhaps for a, brief instant savored of earthly power and glory. The same inexorable law of human frailty that overtook them will hold good for their cognizant disciples and their incognizant emulators — will lay them low and will reduce to dust everything that does not respect the law of fundamental harmony between the natural order fo things and the supernatural order." German Reaction The German press did no't attack the election, as expected, but in a recent pamphlet issued by the official Nazi ' publishing' house it was state that Cardinal Pacelli had used his influence to favor, "an implacable struggle against National Socialism." The pamphlet said that "Pacelli is responsible for the sharp attitude of the Vatican against the Rome-Berlin (Continued on page 8.)

OR. MOSES GASTER, SEPHARDIG LEADER, DEAD IN ENGLAND London (JTA) — Dr. Moses Gaster, retired chief rabbi of the Sephardic Community of Britain and a famous scholar, died this week at the age of 82. "Hacham" (Chief Rabbi) Gaster was known as "the grand old man of English Jewry." Born in Rumania, he was expelled from his native land in 1S85 for leading a protest movement against persecution of Jews. He settled in England and later rejected an offer of the Bucharest government to return to Rumania. However, he complied with a request of the Rumanian government to write a report on the British educational system, which was accepted as the basis of education in that country. In England, Dr. Gaster lectured at Oxford university and for many years played a leading part in Jewish secular and religious life. In later years, although almost completely blind and in poor health, he remained intellectually alert and took a close interest in Jewish affairs. In 1934, he created a stir by suggesting a League of Nations loan to finance wholesale emigration of Jews from Europe to America and Africa. Later developments proved his prediction that a large part of the Jews of Europe would have to leave. Dr. Gaster was associated with Dr. Tlieodor Herzl, founder of political Zionism, and was vicepresident of the first three Zionist Congresses. During:-the World War he was prominent in the negotiations leading up to the issuance of the Balfour Declaration by the British government. An enthusiastic adherent of the Hebrew language, he was responsible for the making of mechanical adjustments in the typewriter that made possibe tlbe marketing of the first Hebrew typewriter. He is survived by-his wife, seven eons 'and six daughters.

Establishment of Suggested Arab State Not Definite INVITE JEWISH PLAN

Arabs Claim Cabinet Had Approved Proposal for State By VICTOR M. MEJJSTOCK Chief of J. T. A. Foreign Service London (JTA) — A threatened breakdown in the Anglo-Jewish talks was averted when members of the British delegation and the political department of the Jewish Agency met at the St. James Palace and explored the possibilities of continuing the talks on a new basis. Colonial Secretary Mac Donald and Foreign Undersecretary Butler reaffirmed assurances given the delegation by Prime Minister Chamberlain that the Government was not committed to the suggestion for establishment of » Palestine state and invited the Jews to put forward their t>wn suggestions as a basis for further talks. The Jew, "however, intimated that they preferred to have new suggestions come from the Government. The Jews made clear their refusal to consider the previous suggestions and said that this was not the time for a final solution of the Palestine question, which, they hold, must result from _ a gradual evolutionary process over a period of the next ten to fifteen years. They stressed the belief that the Palestine mandate must continue and the solution of the question must come within the mandate's framework. Resume Meeting The British and the Jews met Monday evening in an effort to find a basis for discussion which would permit resumption of the formal sessions of the conference. The situation thus is that after a month.of discussions the AngloJewish .talks are back where they started from, recommencing from a new beginning, if the talks continue they are likely to be conducted only by the Jewish Agency Executive since the Jewish conferehce committee is dispersing. M. M. Ussisshkin, chairman of the., ^Zionist General Council, left for Palestine. Chamberlain was understood to have assured a delegation comprising Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Dr. Wise and David Ben Gurion, that they had drawn incorrect conclusions from the brief and incomplete suggestions put before them, and he generally repeated the arguments used by MacDonald when he met the Jewish leaders in private and sought to induce them to resume formal discussions on the basis of the British proposals. Resumption of even, informal talks is taken in well informed circles to indicate that the Government -was not committed to any plan yet submitted to either the Arab or Jewish delegation. Arab circles declared, however, that the plan to establish an independent state had been approved by some members of the British Cabinet, in addition to the British negotiators. During' the (Continued on page 8.)

BAN ON BARTER WITH REICH ASKED New York (JTA) — A conference of 950 delegates representing more than 700 organizations in the metropolitan area under the auspices of the Joint Boycott Council at the Hotel Astor recorded its opposition to "any barter or exchange scheme that may be projected to facilitate a flood of Nazi-made merchandise into this country." It also called upon tbe government to abrogate the cotton barter scheme "perpetrated by the Nazis in contravention of Section 303 of the Tariff Act" and to impose countervailing duties on all o u c h subsidized merchandise which "has and is being dumped on our shores. by the Nazi government." Tbe conference backed the council's plan to extend the boycott into Latin America in order to meet the Nazi trade menace in those countries. It also went on record as opposing "any plan which would violate the Nazi boycott and would make of the refugees export agents for the Nazi regime."
