London (WNS) — A new ser ies of anti-Jewish laws, considered inevitable since Itumiuiia e tered the Aids powers'-orbit, was announced by the Kumania Cab inet, headed by the violently antl Jewish, pro-Naai P r e m i e r Ion Gigurtu. The decrees are aimed at the virtual*elimination of Jews from all phases of Rumanian life.

The anti-Semitic code lists jill those who belong to the Mosaic faith or whose parents were u baptized Jews as Jewish. Others subject to the decree are persons who have Christian mothers and unbaptized Jewish' fathers1; illegitimate children of Jewish mothers; Jews baptized after the law goes Into effect, and. Jewish worn en married to Christian men and not baptized at least one year before the creation of the National Party.

The law separates the Jewish population into three categories: (1) Jews who became citizens in the old Rumanian kingdom, soldiers who fought for Rumania, or those who gained citizenship as the restflt of special services rendered to the country: (2) Jews who came to Rumania before Dec. 30,1918; (3) Jews who entered Rumania after Dec. 30,1918.

Jews in the f i r s t category, numbering about 6,000, retain all their present rights except that of posessing rural property. Jews in this category, however, comprise but a tiny minority of the half million J e w s remaining in Rumania, • Barred from Civil Service Jews in the other two divisions are barred from all civil service posts, may not act as public notaries or practice law or serve-on business boards.

Manchester Guardian said "his prescription for cure is less convincing taaa his diagnosis of the disease." The Christian W o r 1 d, however, viewed the author's suggestions as ccii&tructive aad termed the book an eloquent work on the present plight of Jews.

(Continued from Page 1.)

Jews in Greater Germany, Poland and other East European lands, and to refugees throughout the world. Describing the* work in Greater Germany, the report declared: "In expending 12,240/000 for aid to the Jews of Greater Germany (old Germany, Austria, Bohamia-Moravia, Slovakia, Danzig) , the J. D. C. enabled the emigration of full half of the 148,000 refugees who left those countries in the course of the year.

The total number of refugees who left German terltories from 1933 through 1939 was 432,000. With the aid of J. D. C. funds, 113,000 Jews in Old Germany, Austria, Bohemia-Moravia, Slovakia and Danzig benefited from relief and welfare programs conducted by the local committee In the respective countries."

For activities in behalf of the Jews of Poland, the J. D. C. expended 11,300,000 during 1939, a onslderable part of this sum after the -conquest of Poland by Germany. Prior to the war/ the funds were applied to constructive 1 program of economic aid, voca-

tional training, child care, medical aidT assistance to refugees who had fled from Germany into Poland and to cultural and religious institutions.

Referring to the work in behalf of refugees from Germany, the report declared: "The number of refugees on the European continent grew from 96,000 to over 175,000. At the same time, intensification of anti-Jewish policies in countries like Italy, Hungary and Rumania, deprived l a r g e numbers of additional Jews of theright to earn a livelihood. For alltypes of aid to refugees from Germany in European countries of asylum, the J. D. C. appropriated 12,859,300 during 19 3 9. The war naturally increased the J. D. C.'s burden ; in conducting these; program by limiting the possibilities of local contributions, in-creasing the cost of food and other commodities and ..necessitating stricter government control of refugees and other aliens. Approximately 10,000 refugees were enabled to emigrate from European' countries of asylum during 1931.

The J. D. C. contributed $424,250 to emigration agencies for these services.

"Programs of refugee aid were conducted in about 20 European countries of asylum; the major^expenditures were made in Belgium, France, Holland and Switzerland which harbored a combined total of about 100,000 refugees. In France, the - problem was complicated after the outbreak* of the war by internment of male refugees, the necessity of evacuating refugee children, and the aggr*» vated relief needs of East European Jews living in France."

FruUjr, August 9, 1940 attack of appendicitis, he says to play safe and— Call a doctor.

Remain quiet and apply an ice bag to the abdomen.

Refrain from taking a laxative, food, or medicine.

So important is this procedare which, Dr. Armstrong stresses, should be followed in every case of abdominal paia, that it will be brought to the attention of millions of American families during a nation-wide campaign against appendicitis in which the insurance company is participating.

Based on sound medical experience, the recommended procedure is reinforced by studies made by health authorities. These definitely prove that many deaths from appendicitis can be laid to selftreatment, and that some of these could be prevented if a doctor were called in time to provide proper diagnosis and treatment.

The use of laxatives, Dr. Armstrong says, has probably caused more appendicitis deaths than anything else except delay in having an operation.

Art to Be Sold New York (JTA) — Art works exhibited at the Jewish Palestine Pavilion at the New York World's Fair will be sold when the Fair closes because of the difficulty of shipping them back to. Palestine, it was announced.

The Western Hemisphere Acts Warned by recent events in L&tin America and this' country tbat we are facing a genuine danger from Fifth Column t&ctics, the nations of the PanAmerican union at their recent meeting in Havana decided to draft appropriate measures for the effective handling of German agents and spies. From one #n~d of this hemisphere to the other a series of Incidents have occurred to show the meed of constant vigilance if we are to protect our liberties and perhaps our very independence and integrity from foreign domination.

In Argentina, guns and ammunition Belonging to German groupa have been seized, &n3 the German government has had the extreme audacity of protesting the seizures. Officers from the scuttled battleship, Graf Spee, have been violating the hospitality of Argentina by engaging in propaganda activities. Certainly no self-respecting nation could permit this flaunting of public opinion. Vigorous action is necessary to'put Germany and heir representatives in their place.

An aftermath of similar incidents in Brazil has teen the'appointment of Dr. Frledrich Hied to tho Nail consulate in New York. The Anti-Nazi League has protested the' presence of Dr. Ried in New York and has given the Department of Justice startling evidence as to his propaganda activities -while In Brazil. The Brazilian government had requested his transfer after shocking revelations as to what he considered to be consular work in the Province of Rio Grande de Sul, a province of special concern to Brazil since it is populated primarily by Germans. " , .

Last week Panama was the scene of a wholesale round-up of suspicious Italian and German nationals. Drastic measures have been necessary to protect the Canal Zone •which la so vital to the American system of defenses. For years Panama has been the headquarters of hundredB «f known epies of Germany, Italy, and Japan.

Mexico, after tolerating Dr. Dietrich for much longer than his activities warranted, finally requested bis government to send him elsewhere since he was contributing eo substantially to tho Instability of the country. Here in the United States we havo become accustomed to Nazi temerity and are too complacent in the face of suspicious activities. Moat recent in the limelight is Dr. Westrlck, alleged economic expert, who is attempting to line up business men in this country to assist Germany financially. ; • .

German plans are no secret and the presence ot so many agents In this hemisphere confirms that those plane are to be carried out as soon as such an opportunity presents itself. Americans of both the southern and northern continents have a duty to be on the alert. What happened In Europe saust not happen here. »

What Can Coughfin Have to Say? Starting October 2, the summer-Bilent voice of Royal Oak will again go forth over, the airwaves to spew his usual hatred, distortion of fact, and' pure libel. Only a colossal egotism, only Immeasurable conceit would permit the owner of that voice to return to the airwaves after the drubbing he has endured at the hands of tho public for his obvious and unscrupulous attempts to acquire power and make himself an influence in presentday America.

Though he now assumes the air of the persecuted, Coughlin was certainly given-more than a fair chance. As long as he maintained some semblance of intellectual honesty, even though competent observers tore their hair over his halfbaked economic theories, he was given the respect due a priest* one who supposedly dedicated himself to God and. what else religion Btands for.

Certainly he has- not proven himself worthy ©f that respect. He has appeared as the most out gpolten champion- of Nazi doctrines and has aligned Stfmcelf with the most disreputable of. native Fascist elements. He bas advocated measures that •would undermine the principles of the American democracy and.is an avowed enemy of those principles. His magazine, blasphemously entitled "Social Justice," is a backwash of Nazi racial doctrine and sensationalism, plus the ravings of an 'ambitions'bqt mediocre mind.

By Ifla utter disregard of truth, he has sacrificed the respect due him as a priest and he baa

brought* nothing but discredit to tfce Church cf which "he is an official representative. He has done more to undermine the good feeling toward C&T tboHcism than perhaps auy ene person ia the history of this .country.

Hot-biBg CeagUin can say can fee of much importance. He iatends to devote liis radio talks, he says, to the issues and the mea of the present campaign. By icjectiHg his personality into tfce coming eieetioa, he gives it a filthy complexion it bats so ts.t avoided. His endorsement of Willkie is a soiled rag aboet the Republican candidate's neck.

If C&ugliliii would overcome his craving ambition and consider the good he would do by silence, he would certainly make no effort to return to the airwaves. He is, fortunately, having sosae difficulty in finding outlets ttace the Radio Cede is inhospitable to purveyors of bate. But there are enough unprincipled email stations to be bought and the winter promises more of his unholy mixture of politics, ciilcasicry, and ambition.

America as an Appeaser f'indbergb'e speech in Chicago proved once more the tragedy of a man stepping outside his (sphere of knowledge into, tbe morass of another.

One ia certainly in agreement with his advocating America keep'itself free of involvement in the present war, but the methods he chooses are shameful end unreal. Tbe blame for the war in Europe today rests on the shoulders of those who followed the appeasement trail.

Admittedly America has nothing to gain by interference In the present European war. Admittedly oar western civilization depends upon the American ability to etay out of the conflict, With sad eyes we witness what bas happened to the continent and what has even happened to democratic principles in Great Britain.

But cooperation with the Nazis, as Lindbergh aske, is impossible. It would be as shameful a tie-up as that between tbe representatives ot law and order in our metropolitan.cities and the gangsters. Certainly England and France went well out of their \»ay to cooperate with Germany. Sir Nevilo Henderson in "Failure of a Mission" relates the extremes to which .England went to preserve tbe peace, extremes that a self-respecting nation would never have sought. Britain's appcasers cooperated to the extent of giving Germany Czechoslovakia. Britain's appeasers were perfectly willing to turn over colonies to the Nazis.

German, foreign policy depends on lawlessness.

This is not new with the Nazis. Ever since the unification of the empire under Bismarck, Germany has provoked foreign crises to gain her own ends.,' She has set for heycelf the goal ot world domination and she will not be stopped by wishful thinking. ' It is/quite evident that when Lindbergh speaks of cooperation with the Nazis he is totally ignorant —or deliberately playing into their hands—of the full meaning of the war. One need only read Otto D, Tolischus' work, ''They Wanted War" to understand that the Nazis neither need nor deaire our cooperation. The Nazi dictatorship has set more than a war in motion. It is organizing a revolution on a world-wide scale, and if we are to preserve the values we hold dear, we cannot do so by cooperating with the Nazis. They are looking tor our weaknesses and when they find them, they wfll strike.

Nazis Report French City Is Scene ©f Outbreak ZURICH . (JTA) — The paper JEcIairear dc Nice reports that large-KC&le Jtati-Jewisk dem onstrntioiis occurred in that unoccupied French city, according to the German wireless. According to the report, large plate-glass wiit dows of Jewish-owned shops aad department stores were smashed by the demonstrators, who wrote slogans such es "liown with the Jew? and Freemasons" iit large red letters on the doors of shops and department stores.

Police arrested several deinon•tratore, who admitted they had taken part la the demonstrations, declaring that in their view the Jews were to be blamed for the national disaster, is was said. Police were quoted as stating that ft revolver shot was fired at shop windows'in two cases.

Publication of a provisional list <of Frenchmen who will bo denationalized and whose property will be conflspated was interpreted by the German wireless, in Vichy dispatches, as confirmation of ruinorB that "drastic measures are to be taken above all against persons of the Jewish race who engaged in activities detrimental to French national interests."

While the list, which the Gerinan reports said was not yet officially confirmed but was being Circulated In Vichy, c o n t a i n s liamas o£ s e v e r a l prominent French Jews, it ia not limited to Jews. However, the Nad reports lay emphasis on the names of Jews appearing on tho list. ' Baron Edouard de Rothschild and Louis Louis-Dreyfus, noted bankers, were named in the list, which was broadcast o v e r the French radio. (Baron Rothschild is in New York.)

Many Fled Those that have been namedmany of whom have fled to the United States — will not only loso their property but their French citizenship unless they appear before French authorities and give "good reason" for t h e i r flight frcm France at tho times of the . country's collapse.

"As a great part of those persons on the list are of Jewish race It appears certain that their interests in France will bo confiscated by the State unless they can prove that their interests served only France, which, according to opinion prevalent • b,ere will be extremely difficult, as it is found that the majority of French financial enterprises were owned

by Jews and therefore were not serving France alone but international interests," the German report said. ~ Other well-know persons whose names assertedly appear on the list are Louis Rosengart, maker of France's "baby Ford" automobiles; M. Levitan, France's most important hat manufacturer; Andre G e r a u d (Pertinaz) a n d Genovleve Tabouis, noted newspaper writers and editorialists.

Orders have been i s s u e d in France for tho immediate halting of repatriation of Jowa to German-held Alsace-Lorraine, it was reported. French Jewish shops at Strasbourg have been taken over by the German police who have posted .notices to this effect in the windows. , .

TO HEALTH AND ElAt'HUESS

Edward M. M. Warburg takes time out from campaign duties as Chairman of the Greater New York drive of the United Jewish Appeal to traia with the Business and Professional Men's group at Plattsburg. Son of the late Felix M. Warburg, Mr. Warburg is the National Co-Chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee.

The paymaster of bodyguard -was called, and he weighed Jeremiah's gold on a balance against shekels and pieces of silver, Baruch, who had cuccecded In obtaining permission to visit the prisoner every day, had to sit down forthwith and prepare evidence of the purchase according to law and custom. Hanameel, still unclear about what was happening, was paid tho full value of his land, the mount being reckoned according to the price obtaining during the last years Of peace. The sum total was seven shekels and ten pieces of {silver.

Then Jeremiah told his bewildered cousin to cast from his mind his belated Intention ot leaving the country, advising him to return home, to build himself a modest shelter on his old farm, to wait, and to hope. With tears in his eyes, Hanameel promised to obey, and Jeremiah dismissed him with the ringing words;

done, but their elmplo minds were puzzled by the contradiction between Jeremiah's prophecy and his action. Had the prophet not expressly foretold the end? Then why, if he was convinced ot the imminent downfall of Judah,.bad he purchased with his last remaining money a desolate and useless piece of land? It was not only tho simple minds ot the soldiers that found the contradiction surprising. Jeremiah himself was puzzled at the sudden transaction into which tho Lord had prompted htm to enter, and which filled him with a dreamy delight as if he surmised a change in tho divine plan.

By Franz Werfel ' Editor's Note: In the last days IM the siege of'Jerusalem hj the armies of Nebuchadnezzar, Ming of Babylon, a scene of gve«t dramatic force and historic significance was enacted in ©B© of the ancient city's bastions.

The Prophet Jercmi&ii, Ifsfiitmeel Ids cousin, and Baruch, ills disciple, took part in the action. As an ex' pression of t&\th in the future of Judaea and the Jewish people, Jeremiah, obeying a divine command,'there and then, entered Into a contract for the purchase of new land in Eretz Israel.

Against the background of the present war and its extension to 4he shores of Palestine, American Jewi> will congregate in the Synagogues on August 18th, for the observance of the 1,371st 'J'isha B'Av (commemorating the second fail of Jerusalem), and to respond to an appeal by the Jew* Jsh National Fund for the purchase of new land in Palestine as national and inalienable property.

The article below is from the .. pen of Franz Werfel, author of *'The Forty Days of Musa »agh" and of other famous novels, of whom it was reported in recent "dispatches from France that he had fallen into the hands of the Nazis and was executed. The article is culled from "HearkenUnto the Voice." Werfel's novel on the life of Jeremiah, published by the Viking Press, New York.

It is reprinted here with the permission of the publishers.

The great court of the guard, "which was also known as "the King's court of the guard," extended from the royal palaces to the northern wall that bordered on the Temple. It was the most spacious of all the courtyards and, together with its various rooms, stables, turrets and vaults, "Was used as service quarters and parade ground for the royal bodyguard.

• , A gloomy cell situated in one Of the walls was allotted to Jeremiah; there he lived among the soldiers whose generals were his mortal enemies. The men were " neither friendly nor hostile, but treated him partly with a condescending respect, partly with good-humoured mockery. 'Whatever their attitude, they all felt a secret awe of the uncanny Dtranger.

These soldiers performed ardu, ©us duties, yet their rations were iione of the best. The barley bread they ate was hard, and the . -flat loaves grew smaller and of i jpoorer quality from week to ./week.

Babylon, together with storming ladders of a novel type that projected above the walls of Jerusalem. A new attack bad been in progress for &ome weeks, with heavy casualties daily. Bateriag-reias and rocks hurled by catapults thundered incessantly against the walls, but without success. Jeremiah only half listened to what the men were saying, whether they were bragging of their deeds or giving a gloomy account of the fighting.

His thoughts returned again and again to Anathoth. lie could see the defective place in the wall that surrounded the estate, the threshold of the house where his mother's lamp had so often waited for him, the dark passage that ed to bis parents' bedchamber, and his own room where the almond tree had spread its branches on the night of his first vlgfon.

Never again would he journey to Anathoth!

But Anathoth came to him. And t came, as was to be expected, in the person of Hanameel. The worthy farmer, who usually presented such a neat appearance with his well-trimmed beard and simple but spotless garments, had for some reason become slovenly and ragged. His hair hung over his eyes, his beard was long and tousled. The rents and boles in bis dirt-encrusted clothes bore witness to the thorny undergrowth and mud through which he had made his way in the attempt to reach Jerusalem. Though the soldiers crowded round inquisitively, he squatted dawn on the ground beside Jeremiah, and they both sat silent for a long time, as befitted men whose hearts were full of anxious questions and answers to questions. Jeremiah was the first to speak.

"Hanameel, "my cousin and friend, I was thinking of my father's house when you appeared."

"Jeremiah, my cousin and friend," nodded the faithful Hanameel, "I knew well that your thoughts were of your home in Anathoth; there is every reason why they should be. Therefore, amid great peril and discomfort, I have crept into this city for the last time. Behold, I bring you a last gift from the land in Anathoth. It is but a lean portion.

A little sack of lentils, a little sack of dried figs, and a pitcher of last year's wine. More I could not brlng.y

"Distribute the lentils and the Igs and the pitcher of wine among these brave soldiers, my cousta! For there is famine ia the city and tha men go liungry.

Then, tell me the reason why my thoughts are of my home in Auatfaotii, and why you speak of the last gift from Anathoth."

Presents Given H^rtaineel did as Jeremiah bade him and gave the things he bad brought to the soldiers. Then he began to tell his ill news, relating one item after another without any change ia his calm voice.

"When Obadiah, your elder brother," be began, "was dying with agonizing pains in his bowels, he sent for Hanameel, for he was quite alone. The long war and the wrath of the Lord had scattered all bis family. Only the murderous screech-owl still ireinained, whose voice could be heard at night like a watchman on his tower calling out the passing hours of God's vengeance. In his last hour Obadiah spQke thus to me: 'Joel, the traveller, has been paid his due and has gone.

My eons have been torn from me by the war. My daughters and my daughters-in-law have taken their children and have departed: I hate been struck down by the Lord because of Jeremiah. Gird up your loins and go hence to speak to my younger brother in my name. Tell him that be, who has no children, Is now the father of the family and the master of an empty house.' . . . It is more than two months since we buried your elder brother. I bad already girded up my loins to set out and come to you when the great disaster befell Anathotb. The men of Babylon came and burned your bouse, with the Hall of Ablathar, tbe chamber of your parents, and many goods things that your mother bad accumulated. They took everything.that.was of any value. Tbey drove away the cattle, drank up the wine, devastated the fields, and Blew the peasants. My own farm did not escape the same fate. There too they pillaged and burned, as they did throughout the countryside so that there might be no place from which Jerusalem could receive food and supplies. I hid with some of my neighbors in the mountains and was In great fear, before I turned my feet towards you for the last time."

large rough Land upon the prophet's knee and demanded: "What will be tae end? Tell Hie! For la accordance 'with, year words efeall I order the rest of my days."

More and more soldiers had joined the group, until there was a dense rtEg round- the two cousins. Jeremiati kept his eyes closed and, to Ma misfortune, he forgot that they were not alone.

Though lie ejjoke very softly and almost tonelesely,, yet his dangerous words were overheard and understood by some of the listeners.

"This city, this people, and tMs whole land will be delivered into tb.6ft-liand of the King of Babylon/* "You have spoken," nodded Hanameel, as if he had expected to hear nothing less, "and I shall order the rest of my days in accordance with your -words. I shall leave this country, as the wise traveller Joel did long ago, and shake off the burden of this people and this God. But to you I return that which is yours, since I can no longer he responsible for it. My own fields and my pastures, moreover, I give to you, though the Boil lies fallow and is worthies® to you."

At the word "worthless" Jeremiah sprang to Ms feet.

A Retake "May God forbid," he cried in a liEgicg voice, "that fields and pastures fn the land of the Lord should be considered worthless!

You should be rebuked for this word, my cousin! Behold, I stand before you as a buyer. There is nothing to prevent you from castiag off the burden of this people and this God, that you may go hence while there is yet time. But I will buy your fields at their full value, that I may further increase my great inheritance in this land. You must obey me in this, for according to law the right of redemption is mine alone."

Jeremiah had spoken so loudly that a murmur of surprise broke from the crowd. His" eyes warned Hanameel, who was about to protest, to be ellent.- Gradually the worthy cousin realised that it was not a foolish offer made by a madman, but a symbolic act which the Lord had imposed on -His prophet when the word "worthless" was uttered, Jeremiah summoned the soldiers of the royal bodyguard who were standing (Continued on page 6.)

Jeremiah had listened intently without interrupting the tranquil flow of Hanameel's story.

"Verily, now I am the childless father of my family and the master of a houeo that has been burned down," he said after a long silence. But Hanameel laid his

Behind the Drive to Break Up Rackets ,

* JSpITOH'S NOTE: Behind the eensatlonally successful rackettbustlng drive In New York City was a Citizens Committee, and heading that Committee was a man named Harry F. Guggenheim. In the followIng article Mr. Beiclunau tells the Interesting story of now this prominent, civic-minded 'American Jerf helped break up racketeering in New York.

On a spring morning in 1936, a delegation of New York's most prominent citizens called upon Harry F. Guggenheim at his apartment. It was no cursory visit to pay respects to a former ambassador or famed aviation expert.

V It was a call to duty—to head the projected Citizens Committee oh the Control of Crime in New york.

Like many other civic-minded Individuals, Mr. Guggenheim had been shocked by the revelatlonsof an. Extraordinary Grand Jury sit. ting In New York County as to the aeplorable extent of organized racketeering in the wealthiest community in the world. \ . "Rackets which have grown up," a presentment read, "over many years in many aspects of New York industry, if allowed to continue, threaten the very life of the city's leading businesses.

The social cost of entrenched racketeering is staggering." The financial cost is equally great."

Two Grand Juries Two Grand Juries had been imp^anelled to ferret out the secrets •of this underworld domination 'which was strangling the city's life, hundreds of witnesses—willing and unwilling •— had been beard, millions words of testimony taken in a mighty attempt to end the era of "Pay Up . . .

Big shots, whose merest Vhlspers dictated the" price of bread, fish, clothing and other fltaffs of civilized life were broken as New York applauded.

In our country, this is the his' tory of many communities. There is a cycle—rackets start small, then flourish Into big business. public opinion smoulders, p'erhaps, for(years—and then comes the explosion. Follows thereafter, investigations, convictions and the rackets end—for a while.
