From   the   Middle   West   wc   get   re¬ ports of tlic latest anti-Semitic pamph¬ let,   "Tlic   Plan   in   Action,"   authored hy one "Earnest Sincere," pnhtishcd hy the Brandt  Publishing Company of  El¬ gin,   II!.,   and   containing   a   rehash   of tlic "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"... It's said to be finding many readers... A Western correspondent siiggcstH that now that Samuel Untermycr has returned from  the  London anti-Nazi  conference he give some of his attention to Jewish advertisers in papets with pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic    leanings,     such    as    the Washington  Staatszeitnng of  Seattle... Another    gentleman    wants    to    know whether the Joint  Consultative Council of the B'liai B'rith, the American Jew¬ ish Cominittee and the American Jewish Congress was consulted by the Congress before that body submitted a memoran- dtiin oil' anti-Semitism in Austria to that country's  minister   in  Washington,  and sent a delegation to confer with him... Wc hear that the University of Chicago is   investigating  charges   that  a   quota¬ tion from Dolly Hitler's "Mcin Kanipf" is included in the German examination whicli all  candidates  for  the degree of Ph.    D.    are    required    to    take...The Keichsfuehrcr's debut in the 1035 British "Who's  Who"  recalls  that  prophecy .of the French lady astrologer, who a year ago predicted that  1935 would see the end of his power...Of course wc don't want to raise false hopes—but the story goes that this' very  lady predicted the World War in January, 1014.,. From the Pres.s By Ihc tinie you read  this yon will be  able   to order   from  your   favorite book; store' Professor Jacob R. Marcus' volume on  "The  Rise  and  Destiny of the German Jews" and an English trans¬ lation  of   Benjamin   Segel's   expose of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," about which the Berne libel suit centers. ... The   World   Almanac   and   Walter Lippmann in "TheU. S. in World Af¬ fairs," both quote the American Jewish Committee's book, "Jews in Nazi Ger¬ many," as the standard work on the subr ject...A   regular   digest   of   news,  and editorial  opinion culled  from the Jew¬ ish   press   is   being   edited   by   Joshua Goldberg,    executive    director    of    the American Jewish Congress, and is being distributed  among the members  of the Congress   Administrative   Committee... Plans are also being made, wc under¬ stand,   for   reviving  the   late   "Congress Courier"... Among  defunct  publications we   must   now,  class,   alas,   the   Jewish Examiner of Dallas, Texas, whose editor feels that the paper might well have sur¬ vived if the wealthy Jewish advertisers of liis town had cared-to cooperate..., A paper which has taken a new lease on life is Thq New Palestine, the Z. O. A. Aveekly,   which  in   its   enlarged   format and   under  the   managing-editorship  of Meyer F. Steinglass has become a reg¬ ular newspaper.. .For a while, incident¬ ally,   tife   new   N,   Y.   Nazi   sheet,  the Deutsche Eeobachter, was printed in the same  plant  where The  New  Palestine and the Brooklyn Jewish Examiner come into being.,.

and Judaism
NEW  YORK   (WNS)—"The objec¬ tives  recognized by the  New Deal are not only those of the Christian religion but also, of Judaism and  other sincere faiths recognizing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," Secretary of Agriculture Wallace told n gathering of  100 Protestant business and profes¬ sional men in an address called "A Chal¬ lenge   to   Protestantism,"   at   a   dinner given by the World AlHiince for Interna¬ tional Friendship Through the Ciiurchcs. Mr.  Wallace asserted that the emphasis of   Protestantism  on  individualism was no longer a service to society, and pointed out  that  "against the  New  Deal  have come   thundering   highly   individualistic business men, mostly of the Protestant background, but some Catholic and some Jewish, and all cast in the mold of 19th century economics and biology."   Plead¬ ing for a more social-minded outlook on the part of all faiths, Mr. Wallace urged the  enunciation  of  a more cooperative outlook hy religious groups, ' In support of his argument, he cited the Protestant social   creed  adopted   in   1908* by   the Federal  Council of Churches of Christ of   America,   the   papal   encyclicals  of Pope Leo XIIT in 1891 and of Pope Pius XI in 1931 and the declaration of social principles of, the Central  Conference of American Rabbis in 1928.    In his plea for a "reorientation of the whole Pro¬ testant outlook," Secretary Wallace said that   "the   experience   of   the   past   lUO yearis   would  indicate  that  there  is  no better   equipment   for   material   success in life than   the training   of a devout, Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox Jewish family."   As long as there was a frontier to be conquered, such training produced a truly social result, he declared, but with the passing of^the frontier he indicated that  such  training  is of doubtful value
for the achievement y'of "that which was done for this generation by our fathers and grandfathers,"
Council of Steuben Society Goes Over to Nazis
i   .    -    ¦¦ — ^ ¦ ¦
NEW YORK (WNS)—Nazism in America gaiifcd an important ally when the national council of the SteUben So¬ ciety, composed of American citizens of German origin, went over to Hitlerism, lock, stock ,and barret. After hearing Theodor Hoffman, national chairman of the Steuben Society, report on his five- week tour of inspection in Germany, the national council enthusiastically rati¬ fied Hitler and Hitlerism. The,, action of the council was entirely unexpected in view of the recent outbreak of hos¬ tilities between the New York State Council of the Steuben Society and the Friends of the New Germany. The lat¬ ter had openly challenged the Steuben Society to a fight for control of the German-Americans and Gustave Wie- boldt, head of the New York State Coun¬ cil, had accepted the challenge. But after Hoffman's glowing, report of conditions in the Fatherland, the 500 members of the council climbed aboard the' Nazi bandwagon with a whoop. In the course of his eulogistic survey of conditions in Germany, Hoffman reported as follows: "As to the German Jews, my impres¬ sion is that very important readjust* ments will be made in the near future. Jews have not been deprived of their citizenship right of franchise, as has been so often claimed in our press. All Jews have gone to the polls unmolested. Jewish business houses are patronized by all classes of Germans, including Storm Troopers and Schutzstaffel. On the winter relief 5,4,000 Jews were sup¬ ported."

Of the total amount, the sum of $1,- 450,000 or twenty-seven" per cent, was allocated for settlement and employment of .German Jews in Palestine. The bal¬ ance of seventy-three per cent was spent by various organizations, American and European, for aid and training of Jews in Germany, for repatriation of Jews to their country of origin, and for refugees in various lands.
The number of German Jews whu entered Palestine during this peribd from Germany and refugee countries totalwl 20,000, 12,000 of whom were people without means. ¦

"American   Hitler"   Warns
100,000 New York Jews
Due  for  Slaughter
NEW YORK (WNS)"-Aftcr hearing a witness testify that 21-year-old Ray¬ mond Joseph Hcalcy, self-proclaimed "American Hitler" and editor of the anli-ScniUic "HcMey's Irish Weekly," had told him that 100,000 New York Jews were due for. slaughter and that New York City streets would run fivers of Jewish blood, Representative Samuel Dickstein, presiding over the hearing of the Congressional Committee on Un- American Activities, ordered Healey "to get out of this building and take all your friends along with you.". Making his second appearance before the com¬ mittee, Healey again took the oath by giving the Nazi salute to the accompani¬ ment of shouts of "Heil Hitler" by a crowd of 200 Nazis. He refused to use the usual language of the oath and Iut sisted bn being sworn with the words "so help mc my Christian God."
Wearing   a   green   shirt,   black   Sam Browne belt, black boots and breeches, Healey again clashed with Representa¬ tive   Dickstein   who   finally   became   so , exasperated that he ordered him out of the room.    Healey declared that he is "advocating American  National   Social¬ ism.    I believe in America for Ameri¬ cans. ; I  am. advocating  American  con¬ stitution . against   the   visible   governy , ment'  from whom we have no redress, including the House of Rothschild.. I'm. a Hitler, but I believe in the Constitution of the  United States in my attempt to set up a Fascist, Gentile government.''
Throughout the questioning, Healey exchanged epithets with Dickstein while the Nazis in the room shouted "Seil" and the anti-Nazi retorted with "boo," Detective William F. Fall^ce- of the police department presented documentary evidence and photographs showing that Healey had been -. arrested several times. It was also testified that he had been expelled, from the. Civilian Conservation Corps at Thomaston,: Conn., for dis- • tributing Communist propaganda. At the close of the hearing, Healey's fol¬ lowers engaged in a brawl with anti- Nazis but prompt police intervention pre¬ vented any serious trouble. , Another witness was John B. Snow, a former employe of. a Wall Street broker¬ age house, who has been selling the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" from a sumptuously furnished suite in the up¬ town office of his former employer. Snow admitted selling the "Protocols" and concede<l that although he was be¬ ginning ¦to doubt their authenticity -he continued to peddle them. Although he has been distributing anti-Semitic liter¬ ature under the guise of fighting Com¬ munism, Snow failed to reveal any evi¬ dence of illegal Communist activities when questioned by Dickstein.
After hearing Healey and Snow the committee adjourned its, session until December 17th when public hearings will be resumed in Washington.
