Untermyer Issues Statement
on Non-Sectarianism of
Anti-Nazi Boycott
NEW YORK (WNS)—Answering Hitlerite charges, repcatctl often since the recent World Jewish Conference at Geneva, that world Jewry is responsible for the anti-Nazi boycott from which the German economic system is suffer¬ ing, Samuel Untermycr, president of the Nun-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Leagu.c to Champion Human Rights, has issued a statement in which he makes it clear that the boycott is not a purely Jewish activity.
"In view of the persistent, long-con¬ tinued misrepresentations of Herr Hitler for the last eighteen nionths," Mr. Un¬ termyer declared, "it becomes necessary to emphasize the,fact that this is in no sense a Jewish boycott except to the ex¬ tent that the Jews are participating in it with organized labor and Christian churches. The American Jewish Con¬ gress, which held the center of the stage at Geneva for a few days, is only one of 100 or more organizations that are participating in this boycott. There is to he an international convention at Brussels in October that will demonstrate the non- scctarian character of this movement. . "The Jews of the world number 16,- 000,000 souls, which is less than one-half of one per cent- of the world's population, hi America they number 3,000,000, No such trifling fraction could aloni; have accomplished any such result. This is a spontaneous and ever-growing uprising of civilization. Inclusive of all creeds and races.
"Our organization, which started the movement here,and abroad, is distinctly non-sectarian, although I .happen to be its president. Among its directors in this country are and have been from the be¬ ginning such distinguished national non- Jewish figures as Col. Theodore Roos¬ evelt, James W. Beck, George Gordon Battle, former Ambassador James W. Gerard, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia and others."
Mr. Untermyer further" pointed out that the anti-Nazi boycott movement ha? the backing of Catholics and Protestants because of Nazi endeavors to replace Christianity by paganism; of organized labor, because of the extermination of German trade unions and confiscation of their property; of Masons, whose lodges have been barred; and of women, be¬ cause of the setback the emancipation of German womanhood has suffered through Nazism.

NEW YORK (WNS)—Marcus ,M. Marks, former ' borough president of Manhattan, former president of the Na¬ tional Association of Clothiers and founder of the National Daylight Sav¬ ing Association, died here after a brief illness.   He was 7G years old.
Born at Schenectady, N. Y., Mr, Marks was educated at the College of the City of New York and after his graduation became associated with his father in the clothing firm of David Marks and Son. In 1800 he became the head of the firm, and in l!)13 he ar¬ ranged to he relieved of all detail work In connection with his business in order that he might devote himself to public affairs.   .        .
He was a member of President Roose¬ velt's Nobel Prize 'Committee of Nine on Indu.strial Peace, and in this capacity helped settle many industrial disputes. In 1913 he was elected borough president of Manhattan in the Mitchell adminis¬ tration, but was defeated for reelection in Wn. During his, term in office he established New York's first open mar¬ kets, formed a new joint trial board for trial of civil service employes and or¬ ganized welfare work among employes of the city. At this time and afterwards too he displayed much interest in immi¬ gration work and the improvement of the condition of immigrants.
It was while he was borough presi- .dent that Mr. Marks began his public advocacy of daylight saving-time for the summer months. After Congress adopted the plan as a war economy measure be¬ cause of the large amount of coal it would save Mr. Marks continued work¬ ing for the permanent adoption of dayr light saving time in the various states and cities, many of which have done so.
He was also the founder of the Tu¬ berculosis Preventorium for Children now located at Farmingdale, N. J., and the originator of the idea of the ex¬ change of students between the Unhed Statqs and Europe for the purpose of ¦ furthering international understanding. For 25 years also he was chairman of the conciliation committee of the Na¬ tional Civic Federa.tion, serving as me¬ diator in the settlement of many dis¬ putes.

Geneva Conference Votes For World Jewish Cbngress
American Jewish Committee Protests—National
German Jews Disavow Conference
GENEVA (WNS)—Concluding four days of hectic deliberations and argu¬ ments, the third World Jewish Confer¬ ence voted to convene the first World Jewish Congress in August 193fj, The aims of the Congress, which may he held in the United States, will include the cre¬ ation of a permanent body representing Jews cviirywherc to defend in the name of all Jewry the mutual interests and rights of Jewish communitieg wherever they may be. Interference in local Jew¬ ish problems and in religious affairs was specifically .excluded from the program of the Congress.
Before adjourning the conference cre¬ ated an enlarged committee known as the Conunittec of Jewish Delegations and the executive committee of the World Jewisli Congress of which Dr, Naum Goldman was named chairman. ' Ten places were reserved for American Jews and two for Canadian Jews. The con¬ ference adopted resolutions urging the intensification of the anti-German boy¬ cott, praising the work of James G. Mc¬ Donald, High Commissioner for German Refugees and demanding strict enforce¬ ment of the minorities' treaties and pro,- tection for the Jews in Germany. The executive committee of the conference was authorized to deal unofficially with the Soviet Union aboiit Judaism, Zionism and the Hebrew language in Russia.
The American delegation, headed by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, and Dr. S. Mar- gbslics sent a sharply-worded cable to the American Jewish Committee which had protested against the "alarming and dangerous reports" emanating from the conference and stated that the conference was by no means representative of Jewry. The . cable threatened a finish fight "against all who oppose" the "building of a Jewish community through, the ex¬ pression of the popular will.''
Dr. Margoshes annduneed that on the return of the American delegates a wide campaign will be launched throughout the country for democratic elections of delegates to the PJ-'tj congress. Leading Jews will take the stump and such prom¬ inent European Jews as Sholom Asch. Captain Dreyfus and one of the younger Rothschilds will be brought over to propagandize for the congress, he said. Tile conference also adopted a resolution
protesting against the recent munlers of Jews by Arabs in Constantine, Algeria. M. Pollack, a member of the French del¬ egation to the conference, stated that he had received a telephonic communication from French government quarters to the effect that every effort would be made henceforth to safeguard the life and rights of the Algerian Jews,
When word was received of the sud¬ den death of Dr. Victor Jacobson, who had been expected to join the conference, Dr. Nahum Goldmann addressed the meeting In a eulogy on the late Zionist leader.
NEW YORK (WNS)—Indicatlpns of a new fight over the Jewish Congress were seen in the blunt attacks made on the World Jewish Conference by Mor¬ ris D. Waldman, secretary of the Amer¬ ican Jewisli Committee, and by the Amer¬ ican Hebrew. Waldman denied that the conference represented American Jewry and denounced the "alarming and danger¬ ous enunciations" made by various speak¬ ers at the conference. "Nobody gave this group a mandate to represent anybody" he said. Sharply criticising talk of a "super-government of Judaism" and "a Jewish League' of Nations," Waldman as¬ serted that "all that Rabbi Wise and his fellow delegates have achieved is the un¬ told harm of giving apparent validity to the allegations of those who believe the 'Protocols, of the Elders of Zion.' Years of earnest endeavor cannot undo that harm."   ¦
BERLIN (WNS)—The League of National German Jews,'a small group of ultra-assimilationist Jews, informed Ger¬ many that they are bitterly opposed to the World Jewish Conference. In a tel¬ egram to Chancellor Hitler the League denounced the anti-Nazi boycott resolu¬ tion adopted at the conference, "the ex¬ tortionist decisions of the so-called Jev^- ifh World Conference" and declared that "the rootless, violent and extremist; Jews \vho have gathered in Geneva have no right to speak for Jews who have lived long in Germany and \yho have proved their loyalty to the nation. Jews who feci thenisclves Germans oppose every foreign interference in German affairs and hope that a solution of the Jewish problem on, a national basis will be- reached soon."
