• Bueiios' Aires (JTA) — After an all-night session the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of 123 to 8, adopted measures designed to spike fifth column activities. The law, to remain in force until June 31, 1941, prohibits all'teride'ncious propaganda and activities of foreign elements contrary to the country's institutions. .

New details of .Nazi fifth column activities in Argentina are revealed in the press.

A German general, Niederfuhr, recently arrived here to conduct t h e s e activities, according to newspapers. There also arrived a Nazi agent named Maurer who once was arrested in France as a suspicious" character. Local newspapers publish letters from nonNazi Germans who complain of being forced to join German organizations.

Many Nazis occupy leading positions in the government. The chief of the Geological - T o p o graphical department of the Mine Administration is a Nazi named Grober. Recently police arrested three Nazis posing as itinerant workers in whose baggage there was found incriminating m a p s and other material. One of the arrested was a former officer of he Tacoma, supply ship of the Jerman pocket battleship G r a f Spee. . ' The fifth column uses antiSemitic propaganda as one of Its weapons, having changed the former "Jewish Communism" bogy to "Jewish Britain," ' with emphasis on the Jewish, Santiago, Chile (JTA) — Minster of Economics Oskar Schnake said that anti-Semitism in Chile s an artificial product' aimed at undermining the Popular F r o n t

Government. He expressed t h e hope that forthcoming immigration legislation would solve the problem of refugee entry into Chile.

Schcake made Ms statement to a delegation of the Poale-Zion, including- Dr. S. Yuris, a delegate from .Palestine,'during a one-hour audience. He expressed enthusiasm over the accomplishments of Jewish co-operatives in Palestine and said the Chilean government supported t h e Palestine/ Jewish homeland. . .;Washington (JTA) The government is disturbed. by reports' that a violently pro-Nazi and antiSemitic newspaper, Dlario Aler man, has begun publication in Mexico City, intensifying, appre-' hension of Nazi activities in that country prior to the July election.

Havana (JTA) — The new Cuban constitution contains clauses' prohibiting immigration of com-J mon laborers, providing for deportation within a year of alt aliens who entered illegally and permitting only natives or naturalized Cubans to practice profes* sions, except for foreign technicians who may be admitted by special legislation.

THE FRENCH FRONT It Isn't because the French are preparing for the day when they will want a scapegoat for their present troubles that they picked General Huntzlnger, an Alsatian Jew, to sign the armistice with Hitler, is it? , . . Did you know t h a t Senator Marcel Berenger, who initiated the negotiations for peace with Hitler, used to be the head of the Cagoulards, t h e French equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan, and a couple of years ago received a six-month jail sentence on charges of complicity in the bombings that took place in Paris at that time? . . . But we're sure you're not surprised to know that the most intransigeant member of the Iteynaud Cabinet, which reBigned in a body rather than make peace with Hitler, 'waa Georges Mandel, its only Jewish member . . Pierre van Paassen reminds us that Pierre Laval's Le Jour, at the time of Leon Blum's assumption of the French premiership, carried a streamer proclaiming "Bather Hitler than Blum" . , Laval, you'll remember, is the vice premier in the Petain Cabinet, and personally negotiated France's armistice with Mussolini . . .

WAR ECHOES Jews should have special eympathy with the Frenchmen who fled Paris . . . On the way they ran out of baking powder, and had to bake their bread without it, just aa the ancient Israelites had to do on their trek out of ]%ypt . . . All honor to Werner Kraus for refusing the Nazi command to give a most odious interpretation of Jew Suess—the central figure in Lion Feuchtwangcr's "Power," and 0 historical character to boot—and preferring to suffer the consequences of official Nazi ire . . . In case you didn't know it, until this recent incident ILraua was one of Germany's most popular actors . . .

Did you see Carl Zuckmayer's article, entitled "No Summer in Austria," in Harper's Magazine? . . . If there's anything yon didn't know about Nazi tactics in conquered lands, you'll learn i t there What is the big idea of changing the title of "I Married a Nazi," A new film now in production, to "The Man I Married"? . . . Doesn't Hollywood know yet that the European market is closed to its output, and that the only thing the movies can do is to turn out iilms the American public will like well enough to R e o p the screen industry out of the red? . . . A n interesting book in search of a publisher has just been completed by William Dodd, Jr. . . .

It is based on the diary kept in Berlin by his father, the l a t e American Ambassador there . .

If your local Bundits announce a speech by a Dr. Webster, don't be misled by the Anglo-Saxon-sound ing moniker • . . I t ' s just an alia of Dr. Gerhart WeStrick, who rereccntly came to this country "on business" . . .'Funniest item of the week is the report of the celebration of the French tragedy by o group off Chicago, sympathizers with the Nazi cause . . .

Plain Talk

By AL 6BSAL

LIVING 100 YEABS I had a birthday recently and people wished me one hundred years and all tbat sort of tMog. I am not going publicly to reveal the number of my years but they are enough.

It ia sufficient to eay that I am in middle-age and even if I lived one hundred years the number of the remaining years of my life would not be as many as those I ha,ve already lived. In short, it seems I have already lived most of my life.

Mrs. X was one of those who wished me a hundred years. I Mid to Mrs. X, "Does any of us really w a n t to live a hundred years?"

1 have always said before this that I don't care to live one hundred years. What for? At tbat age I shall be only an interesting antique, like some old sofa, that people will come to look at. They Will be filled with wonder to see me still toddling from here to there. They will be amazed to see ft thing BO old still breathing.

No, I have vigorously maintained, I don't want to live one hundred years for that. I am entitled to rest and why should I be Wade to live that long? After writing so many columns a fellow •hould be allowed to lie down and fold his bands and sleep forever.

Hope for Best Yet upon further consideration of Mrs. X's wish on my birthday, 1 began to change my mind. Well, I thought, perhaps I should live one hundred years. I can't go •way from the earth eo disillusioned as I am. Perhaps If I live a hundred years I shall see everything turn out all right and everything I nave believed c o m e

true.

•m-

I have believed that the righteous win every t i m e and the wrong-doers bite the dust. This was taught me from the beginning of my life almost. It was In the moral lessons I received in school. It was exemplified in the activities of the policeman on the beat. One day I saw him holding by the scruff of the neck a burglar be had caught in an act of burglary. With hia club he was fanning the burglar sharply on the Beat of his pants. Then I knew for certain that the wicked arc humbled.

I knew this even from the dime novels I read. The nable Dick Merriwell invariably triumphed over all the rascals who were his enemies. They had to eat the dirt they prepared against him.

On this teaching I grew up and by its light I guided my young feet. In consequence, I never became a burglar but, on the contrary, a most righteous youth. My conduct marks on school reports were always B, which meant excellent. For I knew, as I had been told, that the wrong-doer's wickedness devours him.

(This was proved to my satis^ faction when Bill Bloke the-bully who was always threatening to beat me up was sent to the reform school.)

I married and had three children and to them I taught the old lesson. The good, I told them, get the golden seat, while t h e wicked get it In the neck. There was a poignant example of this on our own street one day. A big brute of a dog had attacked our Innocent mongrel named B a b e and for a few minutes everything was looking dark for Babe.

Evil Punished : But, suddenly, with the mystical strength that virtue provides In great crises. B a b e turned against his persecutor and drove him into the street. It was even just then that an auto was approaching BO swiftly that there was no time for the brute to cave nls miserable life. Hio neck waa Cracked; I pointed sadly to the broken carcass X ."v "You ceo," I said to the children, "what happens so quickly to those that do wrong, hut our good Babe came through this with scarcely a scratch." . By this teaching my children grew up to be decent people and in no long time Ellen (she is my four mouths old grandchild) will be getting the same lesson. ; So unto my ripe years I kept on believing in the certain victory of the right and the humiliating defeat that evil-doers Buffered. This faith made me the righteous man who has never been arrested for anything, never eloped with other people's wives. " ' ' When the war began last September I was sure that the old

?•«• ft

THE JEWISH PRESS moral sanction wonld prevail. The orragant monster who w a s attempting to bestride the earth would be put down in quick time, I said. That was the good old moral law. This creature h a d committed all the Bins:'He had killed &ad robbed. He had givea false witness and had coveted. He k&d set up evil gods ia the world.

He had dishonored the aged and had plundered fafants of their in. heritanee. He had exalted in the pain he caused.

Surely, I thought, for him there can be only short shift in the moral law. Y e s , he would be humbled under the heel of the righteous. He would perish by the venom of his own hate. He would be chocked by his own greed.

Disillusioned So it can be imagined what disillusion I (like many another) have suffered to Bee the teaching of my youth confounded by the victories of the evildoer. Lo! His mechanized criminality s e e m s more powerful than the decencies and the kindness and compassion, than all the good that civilization has gathered.

It hurts a man's eyes to see this on his birthday after t h e many years of believing in the power of the righteous to undo the wicked. Has machinery revised the old moral law? I don't want to believe that. I shall try to stick to the old faith.

Yes, Mrs. X, I think I do want to live one hundred years. If I live that long I may see my faith proved true even against mechanized evil. In that time the arrogant may be brought down and the blood-thirsty drowned in the blood he shed. O Lord God, let me live to see this—even a hundred years.

If I live to see this then I shall know that the moral law still is valid as in my youth when the policeman caught the burglar in his act of burglary, when the virtuous Dick Merriwell overcame all the scroundels who beset him, when Bill Bloke the bully was sent to the reform school, when the righteousness of our dog Babe humbled the arrogant hound to the dust.

However, I pray for the sudden, speedy and miraculous downfall of the transgressor in our time. I should like to read some morning in the newspaper, "Hitler in Retreat." Then I won't have to live one hundred years.

Camp Jay-C-C Camp Corner Evening Programs at Camp How do campers spend their evenings at; Camp Jay-C-C? We recall' with delight costume parties, a Maccabiad, treasure hunts, cookouts, stunt-nite, and many other evening programs. One evening may be spent enjoying cal)ln stunts and the next evening may find everyone on top of the council hill playing games. Not city games, to be sure, but.a variety of outdoor, campy games that round out the day.

And then, there is the campfire program that everyone anticipates eagerly. Seated in a circle, watching a slow-burning log fire, campers are thrilled by a story of adventure, seasoned with reality.

Unfailingly appealing also Is a story of courage, daring, and hard-won success. M u s i c and song are also part of this event.

The heart of camp life is the campflre with its songs, stories, ceremony, and beauty. Amidst the warmth and beauty of the glowing campflre, in the council ring overlooking the river, .new friendships and idea,ls are kindled, priceless memories a r • shaped, and dreams of achievement are woven.

Evening Programs at Camp How do campers spend their evenings at Camp Jay-C-C? We recall with delight costume parties, a MaceaMad, treasure hunts, cookouts, stunt-nlte, and many other evening programs. One evening may be spent enjoying cabin stunts and the next evening may find everyone on top of the council hill playing games. Not city games, to be sure, but a variety of outdoor, campy games that round out the day.

And then, there is the campfire program that everyone anticipates eagerly. Seated in a circle, watching a slow-burning log fire, campers are thrilled by a story of adventure, seasoned with reality.

Unfailingly appealing also is a story of courage, daring, and hard-won success. M u s i c and song are also part of this event.

The heart of camp life Is the campflre with its songs, stories, ceremony, and beauty. Amidst the warmth and beauty of th« glowing campflre, in the council ring overlooking the river, jiew friendships and ideals are kindled, priceless memories a r • shaped, and dreams of achievement are woven.

Havana Meeting to Discuss Refugees Havana (JTA) — The newspaper El Pais recommended editorially that the forthcoming PanAmerican Conference in this city, called to consider western hemisphere defense, take up the question of the hundreds of thousands of refugees who will be streaming to the American continent as a result of Nazi conquests in Europe.

The editorial, indicating that it expressed the views of the Cuban foreign ministry, said that special attention should be given at the meeting to the question* of Jewish refugees who had found refuge in France and other European countries now under Nazi domination and who were now forced to resume their flight.

Eddie Cantor - * No Pussyfoote?

Welcome B*«.ai. B*rith A welcome, surpassing in warmth even a Nebraska July day, awaits the delegates to the Seventy-second Annual Convention of District Grand Lodge No. 6, the largest cf the organisatiaa'B districts. Unusual honor, it is felt here, has bees paid Omaha in its being chosen the eceae ef ibis important meeting, and we can assure the delegates that the city is outdoing Itself to live tip to its reputation of western hospitality.

While a light and gay side has been prepared for the visitors, the delegates are meeting primarily to consider the serious problems that are confronting the Jewish people today and to work out methods by which D'nai B'rith can make that burden lighter. There is much to be done, for these are critical times, and intelligent discussion rather than emotional outburst remains the best method for meeting the problem.

B'nai B'rith is unquestionably the most representative of American Jewish organizations, although to.our knowledge it has never made any official claims to such. Its well-integrated progran has been designed for the best Interests of -our people as Jews and Americans. Not representing any special group it has, in its ninetyseven years of existence, treated each aspect of Jewish life in the proper perspective.

For close to sixty years Omaha has had a strong B'fiai B'rith group and has become one of the most important B'nai B'rith lodges in the country.

While Omaha Jewry has derived great strength from the organization's program, it may also be fiald the organization has likewise derived much of HB strength from our local community. Henry MoMky, the international president, is a native ton; Sam Beber, president of the Junior Order's Suiveme Advisory Council, is an Omahan. Furthermore the local community -will give the District Us next president.

Omahans feel a certain possesslveness about B'aal B'rith, a pride in its accomplishments and ia tfte role Omahans have played in advancing the •iwiflt of the organization. It has been slightly five* a half century since the first District Lodge convention was held here, and though time has dealt harshly with this world in "which we live, II has not dimmed the affection existing between «he local community and the B'nai B'rith. This *nmlng meeting can only mean new strengthening «f lisa and new inspiration to both Omaha and

Philip Klutznick A welKestabllshed and vise tradition of Grand Lodge District 6, B'nai B'rith, has the first vicepresident automatically step Into the presidency •when the terms of office are concluded. It is a polios of equal advantage to the president and to the lodge. Both are given an opportunity to know eacU other. But even it he bad not served two terms- as vice-president, Philip Klutznick, slated to assume: the presidency, would be no stranger to B'nai ; As Grand'Aleph Godol of A, Z. A., Klutznick Infused this organisation with the fervor of youth.

Later as executive secretary of the Junior Order of> B'nai B'rith, he extended the scope of interest sad influence of the organisation so that today it is the moat important Jewish youth organization la the country. " ' •*" To the local Jewish Community, Klutznick has ^sT-cSed his time and effort generously. There has ast £ssn an important development in this comSUIBU$ that has not sought'his assistance and ,$rofitea"t>y it. He has served as a synagogue official, as an officer tit the Welfare Federation, the philanthropies, and the Center. He has been preslJ t o t of the Zionist organization; and under his leadership a new educational system was Instl1 luted In the community.

In 1933 an old custom put in a new appearance. In that year anti-Semitism began in Germany and with it the cataclysm that was to sweep with it the rest of the world. Shamefully we Jews remember the large protest gathering at Madison Square Garden where Al Smith arose and expressed his consternation at the activity of "pussyfooters in the Jewish camp, cowardly souls who feared to denounce the brown menace.

But not all Jews were "pussyfooting," not all Jews were .Baying "Let us not take risk." About this time there was a radio comedian who was very popular In this country. Everybody knew his large pop-eyes and about bis five daughters.

Eddie Cantor bad attained his popularity the hard way. He had worked his way up step by step from a poverty-stricken youth on New York's east sido to the greatest popularity enjoyed by any radio artist. Eddie Cantor is Jewish, proudly so, and he had all to lose, nothing to gain, if he spoke out publicly against the Third Reich and its Fuehrer. He didn't stop to consider the risk.

He spoke—at dinners, at meetings. He did what is peculiar to Jewish humor throughout our history—making light of our sorrows.

He used Hitler jokes on his radio program; in his skits on a vaudeville tour of the country. In his serious moments and in his lighter moments, he pointed out the threat of Hitlerism. No, Eddie Cantor -wasn't the only one. Outstanding rabbis and lay leaders in Jewish life warned, but then they didn't risk what he did; it was in their line of duty.

Through all this time and from long preceding it, Cantor did not lose sight of the tragedies which face us all the time, even in quieter times. Always he has given unstintingly of his energies, his art, his money that orphaned children might know some joy in childhood, that unemployed artists might have another opportunity, that intolerance and bigotry might be combatted. Hundreds of Jewish children owe their life to Cantor who gave huge sums to the Youth Aliyah movement.

Recently Eddie Cantor has been accused of waving the flag." But it is becoming increasingly evident to all that the flag he waves is something more than mere piece of cloth. It is symbolic of truth and art and enlightenment and morality and common decency.

New Prey for the Jackals Rumania, though over-run in -the first World War and its ruling house put to ignominious flight, came out of the peace conferences proportionately the greatest victor. Waxing fat on territorial acquisitions from its neighbors, Rumania for a long time was noted primarily In the American press for "the amorous escapades of its royal family.

To the Jews Rumania has always been a land of persecution and horror. The country's policies have been vacillating—one month the Jews had their hardships increased;...the next month they were promised some relief. Only Up service was given-the religious and minority clauses of the Constitution. The wealth of Rumania was a royal monopoly and to preserve itself the governing ;roup encouraged disunion among the people.

Since anti-Semitism promoted dissension, it too was recognized as an Integral part of Rumanian

Government Attempts to Make Scapegoat of Jews

Budapest (JTA)—Making the Jews a scapegoat for the population's chagrin over the Boviet entry, Rumanians under Nazi inspiration have launched violent' attacks on Jews in the Old King, dom, according to reports from Bucharest.

The Berlin radio reported approximately 600 Jews were massacred and many more wounded

by Rumanian troops in Galati.

The Nazi report claimed there had been "armed Jewish uprisings." y According to the Nazi account, Convention Chairman about 2,000 persons, "mostly Jews," from Galati and Bucharest calm and avoid unnecessary gathwho had gone to Soviet-occupied erings.
