There can be no defense of the outright seizure of $400,000,000 of money from the Jews of Germany under the guise of a "fine although there is a lesson of warning in it Likewise, none can convince me that Hitler has kept his underlings free of graft and corruption in this or other dictatorial actions. Those in power in Germany are garnering the gold for themselves or else we are witnessing the activities of angels whose purposes we, as human beings, are unable yet to understand. I do not believe they are The purge of German angels. Jews, therefore, must be accepted as the exposition of mad power. Some weeks ago, I had occasion in these columns to talk about the I said peace of Munich. then that Hitler was not through; that there would be further exhibitions as he and his henchmen maneuvered this way and that in order to maintain the iron grip of a dictator. The drive on the Jews is a part of thnt general scheme, a movement to maintain a support for tiie dictatorship, for, it is known, should Hitlers grasp be broken at any place or at any time, there would be a bloody revolt in Germany again. Those causes, however, do not help us in the solution of the Jewish problem. The unwanted race is simply the victim and a knowledge of how its members have had the sufferings brought upon them adds little or nothing to the search for a method to protect their lives. Where are they to go? That Is the real question. Hitler doesn't care where they go or what happens to them. Some one ehe has to lead the way. Our nation has joined in that leadership, and rightly so. But we have policies and principles and traditions which must be respected. If. in our eagerness to help the German Jews, we should transgress those established principles, then we, as well as the Jews, will have to pay a penalty. Jewish Problem ' for United States Might Be Result The whole situation Is one which may contain a fir Jewish problem the United States. It is one out of which a political issue may grow.

We ought not kid ourselves. There are many persons swearing allegiance to the United States who do not like Jews. Those persons may be otherwise good citizens, but they distrust a Jew because he is a Jew, making no distinction between Individuals. It is stating nothing new to say that there has been almost a steady undercurrent of criticism of Mr. Roosevelt from certain quarters because Jews have been given prominent places in the New Deal. I think it is not stretching the Imagination at all, therefore, to point to the Jewish problem as one that may become involved in politics at some future time, although I hope it nev- WEEK i 4 - N ft bJ h . 4 v ' f ft I V' " 1 a few YORK. In NEW ago, this Europe, writer met a friend who had just interviewed Gen. Ismet Inonu, who is today Turkeys new i? V 4 i dicta-Dictat- I & -- ai jXa. s js. As smartest hombre I ever met, said my friend. He talked to me for two hours, frank and honest, looking me right in the eye and never holding out on anything. He was charming and brilliant and he didnt ask me not to print anything. I thought I had a great story. But, when I started to write it, there was just nothing there. I saw him several times after that, and realrt ized that he was a master in talk which left no commitments whatsoever. I saw cagey diplomats kissed off just as I had been. The man is a marvel of brains and ingenuity. The small, fragile, deaf, ingratiating General Inonu is the hero of the Turkish army, premier until a year ago, when he was mysteriously benched by Kemal Ataturk. There were rumors that he was engaged in international negotiations of such subtlety that he found it necessary to keep out of office and It was in 1920 that young Colonel Ismet joinejl Mustafa Kemal in Anatolia. By 1922, he had driven the Greeks out of Anatolia and Smyrna and in this period and thereafter he was Kemal Ataturks chief military aide. He added to his laurels, when, at the 1923 Lausanne conference, he ran rings around British and Italian diplomats and won for Turkey virtually its demands. He was one of few men who retained the confidence of Ataturk to the end. He was a firm and exacting and, at times, ruthless ruler of the army, and is said to lack none of the traditional specifications of the iron man. It is apparent that Ismet Inonu Is Intent on keeping Turkey diplomatically liquid, that he fully realizes the bargaining power of Turkeys hegemony over the Moslem bloc, and that he probably will use this and other strategic assets in making some shrewd bargains.

Mr. Roosevelt has proposed removal of some of the immigration restrictions as a means of bringing into this country more German Jews than our immigration laws now permit In so doing, he verged on politics himself. Any one familiar with the debates on immigration policies heart-to-hea- 1 in the early 1920s must recall the severity of that battle. The issue was whether we, as a nation, were going to be haven for all comers and just hope that they would do things the American way, or whether we should restrict the number coming here to live to a number which could be absorbed into our national life. Labor unions and most employers favored the restrictions, and when we think of the number of unemployed in the last five or six years people fed and clothed by the federal government it appears that we allowed too many to come in. It seems we could have excluded all of them to advantage. Only Congress Can Let Down Immigration Bars Behind the scenes of the immigration restriction also was a determination on the part of Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, then a senate power, to prevent introduction into the United States of The senator all kinds of isms. foresaw the spread of radicalism by means of entry of the European backwash and rubbish. There was not much discussion of this phase because our government did not want to offend any foreign nation. It was a basic reason, however, and it Is too bad that It was not given more public consideration. fortunately, there can be no change in the number of foreigners admitted from any nation without action by congress. The United States can take only so many something like 30,000 a year of those purged Jews, unless congress amends the law. And when I say it is fortunate that there must be action by congress before there can be a change in policy, I mean no inferences. I believe Mr. Roosevelt is eminently correct when he says that there must be a homeland established for tire Jews. The British tried to make Palestine that sort of a base, it will be remembered, but they failed because Arabs dont like Jews. This experience then would seem to point to the necessity for the Jews being colonized quite alone. If tire United Stales can extend help in doing that job, there ought to be no criticism of the course, even if it involves financial assistance. It would be a charity worthwhile, and a charity that would not involve us later on. I repeat that I believe there is real danger in letting down the floodgates for immigration whereas the other method would seem to be a humanitarian action again demonstrating our national sympathy for a downtrodden people. w. are now helping scores of farmers plow their fields. Here is one working in a field near Frague. During the crisis a widespread shortage of labor resulted in help from the army.

GEORGE HOTEL, S.lTTT 0 East 3rd South 75e - 1.50, With Bath Ji St, Reputable Convenient By LEMUEL F. PARTON r 9 er 11 most a ; Press service wires and cables and radio from abroad have been clogged for several weeks with hundreds of thou sands of words about the plight of the Jews in Germany; about the abuses visited upon the Jewish race by the European madman. Hitler, and his camp followers; about the humanitarian pleas of our own President, Mr. Roosevelt, for appeasement of the conditions. There has been what I believe to be one of the greatest waves of emotion, waves of resentful national sentiment, that this country ever has known. 1 re call none like it, none as overwhelmas that ing, none as through which we have been passing, and in my opinion our nation should have resented such outrages. While no one with a heart can fail to grieve to a greater or less extent about the indescribable harshness, the unforgivable meanness of Hitler, it occurs to me that we should begin to temper these waves of emotion somewhat. There are other factors to be considered, factors and consequences of the thing that is now called the Jewish problem, that require calm reasoning. In other words, let us say that America is and must remain for Americans, and chanty, while it is sweet, cannot be exploited, or carried to extremes simply because we feel a sadness for a group upon whom an Injustice has been sent. Like millions of other Americans, I am hopeful that some way will be found to aid the Jews who are being driven out of Germany, but I am unwilling that we, as a nation, shall create additional and unwarranted difficulties for ourselves by extending a helping hand. Therefore, the United States must not be the goat. It is one thing to render aid. It is quite another thing to inject into our own bloodstream of national life additional elements without knowing what those elements are. After all, the damage is something that we did not cause; the injured are a people who have no knowledge of our way of doing things and may never with us, and we must prevent being dragged into the other fellow's fist fight. st.
