FIFTH COLUMN DANGER SEEN

BY ROOSEVELT Warn* Against Those Who .

Sow Seeds of - Discord Washington (WNS)—Speaking to the nation over a coast-to-coast hook-up, President Roosevelt declared that "our national security is not a matter of military weapons alone" and warned the nation to guard against the "fifth column" which disseminates discord among the people.

"There is an added technique for weakening a nation at its very roots, for disrupting the entire pattern of life of a people," the President said.

"The method is simple. First, discord -— the dissemination of discord. A group—not too large —a group that may be sectional or racial or political :— is encouraged to exploit their prejudices through false slogans and emotional appeals. - The aim of those who deliberately egg on' tueBe groups is to create confusion of counsel, public indecision, political paralysis and eventually a state of panic."

"Sound national policies," he continued, "come to be viewed with a new and unreasoning skepticism, not through the wholesome political debates of honest and free men, but through the ciever«cfcemes of foreign agents."

"As a result of these new techniques armament programs may be dangerously delayed. Singleness of national purpose may be undermined. Men can lose confidence in each other and therefore lose confidence in the efficacy of their own united action.

Faith and courage can yield to doubt and fear. The unity of the state can be so sapped that its strength is destroyed.

"All this is no idle dream. It has happened time after time, in nation after nation, during the last two years. Fortunately Amer(Continued on Page 2.)

Paris (WNS) — Close to 80,000 Jews, including many refugees from Nazi Germany, escaped from Belgium before the invading Nazi army tightened its hold on that country, it was reported here. Approximately 15,000 Belgian Jews are now living in temporary camps in France.

The Jews who escaped from Belgium constitute about onethird of the total Jewish population, including German - Jewish refugees, in Belgium at the time of the invasion. Jews remaining in Belgium are for the most part young men fighting with the Belgian troops and elderly folks who were unable to stand the gruelIng trip to England and France.

Many of the B e l g i a n Jews reaching France are now in Angers, seat of the Polish government-in-exile and Europe's n e w "melting pot." In recent years, refugees from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, the Scandinavian and now the Low Countries have poured in increasing groups Into Angers.

The French government, it was reported, is attempting to move the refugees to Southern France in a move to alleviate the congestion. The government has advertised for doctors, engineers and technicians among the refugees, and a bureau has been opened to put refugee farmers into immediate employment.

Nazis Shift Polish Jews to Holland The Nazis have begun to transport the first groups of 150,000 Polish Jews, now doing compulsory labor in Germany, to t h e Netherlands to remove the debris caused by Intensive bombardments, it was learned on good authority here.

Many Dutch cities and towns were reduced to shambles by the Nazi air fleet a n d the task of cleaning and rebuilding the country is a gigantic one. The Nazi explanation for this move is that "the J e w i s h capitalists, who helped to destroy the Netherlands, will now be compelled to rebuild it." ' Meanwhile, it was stated, that the Nazis have released all Dutch soldiers but are,detaining in prison Jewish soldiers fighting with the Dutch troops. All Dutch newspapers, including the liberal "Telegraph," are now in N a z i hands and the first anti-Semitic stories have already made their appearance.

The book carries an inherent hallecge to contemporary au.hors &ai leaders of thought not to follow the popular will, but to mould it, and even to defy it. It is not honorable to cater to the popular taste wiieu it is low and corrupt, when it demands endorsement cf its base instincts and vile prejudices.

Book Review Breathless pace, * hero pensive Keep you rending "Spring Often' rive."

LIT'RY NOTE: A u t h o r of "Spring O f f e n s i v e " (Viklag Press) if Herbert Clyde Lewis, who at one time in his interesting career was on the staff of the late lamented Jewish Daily Bulletin . . . Lewis, a first-rate reporter, ha.s again turned out a novel of the sort you can't put down until finished in one sitting . . . His first novel, "Gentleman Overboard," told the story of a gentleman who falls off a ship in the mid-Pacific and swims and floats and swims apparently without end . . . And it wasn't until the very last page that you knew whether or not he would be rescued . . . The tension was amazingly well s u s t a i n e d throughout . . . Lewis uses exactly the same formula in "Spring Offensive" . . . B u t the hero this time finds himself marooned in t h e no-man's-land between the Maginot and Siegfried lines . . .

He is. the only living thing there when the Germans launch their long-threatened spring offensive . . . What Peter Winston, 23-yearold Indianan who joined the British army because he was bored with being jobless, thinks a n d dreams and does while the war in its full horror breaks all around and over him make some absorbing reading . . . "Spring Offensive" doesn't quite measure up to "Gentleman Overboard," but It packs a p u n c h that distinctly makes it worth the investment . .

REWARD: That reward of | 1 . €00,000 offered by Carnegie Institute President Samuel H a r d e n Church for the capture of Hitler prompted Aleph Katz, the office wag, to remark: "If Church can't get him, Churchill will."

FLAG: Lou Rittenherg, exec, ed. of the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, needed a picture of tbe Zionist emblem tar illustrative purposes . . . So naturally he called the Zionist Organization . , .

The ZO looked Around, scratched its collective head, land had to con> fess it didn't have a picture of the Zionist flag . , . Bitt asked the JWF and in tarn every Zionist orSMiMtlon in town . . . Not ono bad ft plx of the Zionist emblem . . . He finally got one -—at the Fablic Library . . .

New York (WNS)—The art collection of Sigmund Ojserkis of Atlantic City, N. J., which he donated to the United Jewish Appeal for Refugees a&d Overseas Needs, was placed OB publie sale at the Parke-Bernet and Coleman Galleries in this city, to air war sufferers and refugees in many parts of Europe and elsewhere.

Many valuable paintings by Dutch, French and Italian artists and works by American painters are included in the Ojstrkis collection.

Among the paintings in this collection is a Canvis by David Teniers, the younger, which is particularly significant at this time. It is a painting, dated 1672, depicting the "Taking of the Town of Utrecht." This work was once part of the collections of Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie,

Our Film Folk

By HELEN ZIGMOND Hollywood. — The LOB Angeles 1940 drive for the United Jewish Welfare Fund got a whirlwind start with a mass meeting of the radio and movie music groups.

Rudy Vallee opened the program with the singing of "Eili, Bill" . . and made a pledge to the Fund. Rabbi Magnin spoke briefly and fervently, as did Lewis Browne. J o h n N e s b i t t , wellknown in the radio field, now an M.G.M. narrator (a non-Jew) read a moving article on "The Road to Lublin."

In other cases individual employers have taken advantage of the ignorance and economic distress of the emigre to pay him a salary far below the union rates.

Often the newcomer has actually been afraid to join a union—an attitude springing from his middle-class ideology and from bis previous experience in Continental politics.

Palestine Projects In the year 1935 the Mizrachi 'Women started with the Beth Zeiroth Mizrachi in Jerusalem, a boarding school for girls from 15 to 18 years of age. The girls are given a technical education which makes them self-supporting. Th«re is now a school in Tel Aviv and one In Haifa, a girls teachers' seminary in Jerusalem, and a girl's training farm.'

The Tel Aviv School EIBO houses quarters for the Beth Chalutzoth Mizrachi, where a home is proTided for the unemployed refugee girls, and opportunities for earning is given them.

Mr. C. Q., otherwise known as Sammy Kaplan, presided over the program of the Y. P. A. meeting Tuesday night at the Jewish Community Center. The two teams, the Knights and the Fair Ladies ran a close race, but Lady Luck smiled on the Knights and they won, 162-144.

Such puzzlers as "Who s a w Cock Robin Die?" and "Who Was President a'Hundred Years Ago?" failed to baffle the contestants.

Joe Cohen found himself almost a man without a team when he unwittingly aided the Fair Ladies in making a score.

DAVID BLACKER—Business and MfcjmgiEg Editor LEONARD NATHAN Editor RABBI THEODGRI3 M. LEWIS • Book Editor FRANCES BLACKER • • Society Editor MORRIS AIZENBEItG—Sioux City Correspondent

A New British Colonial Secretary ' In the midst of world-fcliattering events in the war-torn continent of Europe, the lees immediate aspects of the British cabinet shake-up are bound to be overlooked. With the armies ol the world contending for mastery, even the most ardent Zionist is apt to display no more than passing interest in the new colonial secretary.

In the place of Malcolm McDonald, the man responsible for the most flagrant violations of the "Balfour Declaration," has been appointed George Ambrose Lloyd, first Baron Dolobran. To him will be entrusted the further Implementation cf the "White Paper" policy, If the British government intends that policy to be "carried out." Or under bis rule newer policies will be Initiated, policies of interest to Jews all over the world.

Much speculation has, of course, been rife as to what to expect of the new colonial secretary. .What are his own personal feelings regarding Jewish and Arab claims, regarding British promises and violations? Lord Lloyd has a distinguished record in the British colonial service. He occupied the extremely Important post of High Commissioner for Egypt from 1925 to 1929, the rosiest days of post-war British Imperialism.

Because of his familiarity with the situation lie would be named successor to Sir Arthur Wauchope as High Commissioner of Palestine. But on that occasion the troublesome job was taken over by the Governor of Sudan, Sir Harold MacMichael.

Just where Lord Lloyd's sentiments lie has become the favorite guessing game of those still able to focus their attention on Palestine. Perhaps the inability to tag him as pro-Arab or proJew promises bis incumbency will be one of objectivity.

There was a time when the Arab press definitely claimed him as one of their outstanding sympathizers, and as late as 1936 one Arabic daily pointedly referred to three pro-Arab- peers— namely, Lords WIntorton, Beaverbrook, and Lloyd.

Yet on other occasions he has shown definite friendliness toward the Jews. With Jewish leaders he was guest of the High Commissioner, and In 1938 promised aid to the Palestino nautical school on behalf of the British maritime league.

However exceptionally significant to the Jews la the appointment of 0. B. Hall who is an outspoken sympathizer of Zionist aspirations, as undersecretary for Colonies. Not only does he occupy this Important position, but will bo chief spokesman for the Colonial office in the House of Commons since Lord Lloyd, as a peer, cannot enter the lower chamber.

In view of the world situation, it must be expected that whatever happens in Palestine from aow on will be determined solely on the basis of British Imperial interests. The fate of the British empire is at stake, and Palestine's position, as the position of all colonies, dominions, and mandates, will be to strengthen the defenses of that far-flung empire. Unlike in past cabinets the personality of the man will have little influence on the policies to be pursued.

Senator Reynolds Objects Hearings on the recommendations of the Department of Interior to open Alaska to settlement by refugees has started with the objections of alien-baiting Senator Reynolds. To him the whole project is "just a smokescreen to bring thousands of aliens into the U. S. via Alaska" and he raises .the new war cry, "Trojan horse." .

Not only would Senator. Reynolds have the recommendations thrown out of- the committee rooms, but would prohibit the entry of any aliens into the territory, "to protect Alaska." .

But the warnings of Senator Reynolds had earlier been given lie by the contention of Secretary Ickes who asked that the idea be considered not on 'humanitarian' grounds but because toe proposition is good for business and good for the national defence and good for the American people. "We ought not to turn it down merely because it Ms -some humanitarian by-products."

Because Alaska is so sparsely-settled, Secre•tax? Ickea soe3 it as the Achilles heel of American defense and ae long as it lies uaexplolted by tbia country, it presents a temptation to other closer Efetioas, namely Japan and perhaps Russia.

Senator Reycelds' ebjectioES are essentially the fcatefc demagoEfc objections toe has raised ticae end time again to aliec entry into the United States. He h&s authored bills designed to plague all foreigners ia this country merely because of the misdeeds of a few. And the startling fact remains that co groups have been more active in behalf of Senator Key coles than those quaiei-Fascists who are today recognised as the real "trojan horse" of America.

Swastika Over Amsterdam To the hordes of twentieth, century barbarians have fallen eight European capitals, among them the jewel, Amsterdam. For Amsterdam to find itself in the hands of murderous bigots, is one of the great tragedies for our times, for this Dutch city has been the citadel of tolerance and freedom.] Since the Netherlands won independence from the Spanish rulers, the country has given refuge to Puritans, Quakers, the Hugenots, and tiie Jews. go many Jews came to Amsterdam following the introduction of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, that it soon was to all as the "Dutch Jerusalem." Here came Basnage to write his history of the Jews, the first since Josephus, with the aid of Amsterdam scholars. To the Jewish quarter came the prince of Dutch painters, Rembrandt, to create for posterity his priceless collection of Jewish types.

Indelibly associated with Amsterdam are the famous Jewish names of Tirado, Mendes da CoBta, Spinoza, Querido, Josef Israels, Mannasseh ben Israel, Zacuto, Belmonte— to mention only a few of an endless list. Scholarship and trade flourished. Jews helped organize the Bourse and were active in the affairs of the Dutch East Indies and West Indies Companies. They went forth as colonies and from the deserts of Curacao and Aruba and the" jungle of Surinam built flourishing settlements.

In Amsterdam was established the great diamond cutting industry, a Jewish monopoly, and the source of much of Holland's great wealth.

Holland has always been exceptionally good to its Jews, and the Jews have been loyal Netherlanders to the core. Crowning tragedy was that a Jew, General van Winckelman, had to be chosen for the sorrowful task of surrendering the nation that bad been so good to his people to one that was their scourge.

But the Dutch are not the Germans. Perhaps they should have resisted further, although the only result could be tremendous destruction and useless bloodshed. Their spirit is steeped in a tradition of personal liberty. It was the Dutch who'taught the liberal principles of Puritanism to our first English settlers. Fallen Amsterdam might be; over it may wave the flag of the conqueror, but there are some precious things that are never conquered and Amsterdam, is rich in those..

Forei HUNGARIAN ANTI-SEMITIC LAWS lite

(EDITOR'S NOTE: lias is 'second of * -series by. a correspondent on the effect* a>l the Hungarian anti-Semitic legislation.) . , .

BUDAPEST. Anti-Semitism in Hungary has not been limited to professionals and private business men, but is Bow being stringently applied to the merchants and artisans of the Slovak fan and Ruthenfan territories regained by Hungary after the f i n a l dismemberment of Czecho-Slovakia last fall.

Magyarsag, the local A r r o w Cross (Nazi) newspaper has just announced that the licenses of 2,430 merchants and artisans in three Ruthenian towns had been withdrawn. Needless to ay, every one of these licenses was a Jew. In Munkacs, near the Russian frontier, according to Magyarsag, 600 merchants of every description have been deprived of their licenses, along with 280 artisans.

In nearby Beregszasz, 350 have been deprived of their licenses, while in Nngvar 1,300 have been disfranchised.

Magyarsag, in scoring the administrators of the Jewish law for their "excessive leniency," points out that the proportion of Jews among the merchants and artisans of these northern towns is as follows: Munkacs, 62 per cent; Beregstasz, 30 per cent; Ungvar, 54 per, cent.

Only Manual Labor Elsewhere in Hungary, however, only Jewish holders of state monopoly licenses are being disfranchised — tobacconists, w i n e and liquor merchants, news-venders, etc. Jewish merchants and artisans in general have not yet been molested. No further licenses of any description will be issued to Jews, however, until the percentage of Jewish merchants and artisans—which now ranges from 30 to 40 per cent throughout Trianon Hungary — lias been reduced to the 6 per cent required by law.

For the young Hungarian Jew just out of high school, or for the Jewish employe or state licensee who has lost his job, this means that every occupation except manual labor will be closed to him from now on. Jews may no longer even hawk produce or merchandise through the streets, for all hucksters must have a license and all licenses are now forbidden to Jews.

Even to get a job as a common day laborer is becoming increasingly difficult these days. Employers are growing reluctant to employ Jews in any capacity, for fear of arousing the iro of local Kails and other anti-Semites, or of being fined for some technical Infraction of the "Jewish law."

Typical of the difficulties now being encountered by employers •who hire Jews, is the recent case

The refugees said that OsteEd was crowded with Jewish refugees who were unable to secu'/e passage to London. British ships, they said, were taking on only Jewish children.

Jewish Regiment in England According to unconfirmed reports in London ,the War Ministry is considering the creation of an all-Jewish regiment to fight with the Allied forces in France.

These reports state that if a euf ficient number of Jews ask to serve in a "Jewish regiment," one will be organized. The reports make clear, however, that the regiment will not serve in Palestine.

Meanwhile, reports have been circulating here of the possibility of the organization of a legion, to be commanded by a prominent American now in England, which will be made up of members of various nationalities. The War Ministry has announced that persons from all over theworld have volunteered to fight with the Allies.
