Wild Charges Made Against Jews at Mexican Government Conf erence
JERUSALEM (WNS-Palcor Agency)—The brutal niurdcr of,five Jews, on March 13 and l't has shocked the entire counti'y into a realization of the extent td ,which lawlessness and terrorism had spread. Commenting on these killings, the Davar,, Hebrew daily, declares "The Jews have been ,outlawed. The police have revealed tio initiative in uprooting terrorism and forbid Jews to defend themselves. Kfar Hahoresh demanded four super¬ numeraries,, but thc Gpvernment re¬ fused. The Yishiv asks i what is the htimbcr of victims required for the Government to take decisive action in crushingf murder throughout the coun¬ try?" The' Hebrdw press points out that seventeen, Jews have, been killed, in addition to the Christian Stanislaw Sluga and numerous Arabs, since the official termination of-the Arab gen¬ eral strike of 1930.
The three deaths on March 14 oc¬ curred ¦ at Yavhicl, in Galilee, while the Jewish settlers were returning to their hpmes from a celebration party at a nearby suburb, The murdered Jews Were GedalyahulGeller, 34 years old, ,Zalman Bensasson, 32, and Ye¬ huda Eliavitch, 29. The twp killed on March 13 were -found stabbed and strangled by a searching party sent gut from their colony at Kfar Hahor¬ esh after they had failed to return with the flock which they were tend¬ ing. The dead were Hanoch Met,z, 21, and Shlomo Gafhii 28, recent jm migrants from Polahd. Their bodies were discovered' in thc King George memorial forest established by the Jewish National Fund.
The government, broadcast an:offer of a ,$5,000 : reward for information leading to the Kfar Hahoresh mur¬ derers. The settlers, have' declared that.the police did not arrive on tlie scene until two and a halt hours after they had been called, so that the as¬ sassins' traces' were hard to pick up. VVhen: the shepherds were killed,, the colony's herd of 320 sheep and 70 goats was stolen. The .Royal Air Force in Transjordan and:the Leban-, ese police were asked by the Palestine police to co-operate in finding the killers and i robbers. , The, , Lebaiicsc authorities were : tpld to guard tho frontiers. In the meailtiniE, the police reinforcements were sent north to head off the killers and also to strengthen tlie security in the north¬ ern settlements.
The fatal:,shooting of three , on March - 14 occurred just after , midr night. 'The three nien, all active in the Jevvish Federation of Labor, were re^ turning from an Histadruth party in honor of .Bensasson who. was planning to, settle in Kvutzah' Hassadeh. -Elia¬ vitch struggled with one of, thc mur¬ derers,' ari inquiry -showed, and svrested a rifle from him hut he was then, shot from the back by another ; killer. Eliavitch was the son of an. old farmer df Yavniel. Geller came to Palestine from Poland eleven years ago., Bensasson, a'rabbi's son, al'so .came froni Poland twelve years ago! . , Representatives of all the settle¬ ments in the Emek Jezreel attended the funeral of Metzand Gafni. The entire country joined in .mourning the loss of the five,farmers.     '
¦In addition to the liiurder of five Jews, a 'number of-Jewish centers were targets for, terrorists. Several bombs exploded in the Jewish quar¬ ter of Tiberias. One person': wis slightly injured froni one of the ex¬ plosions-and a part of the house, was destroyed. A number of other houses wer4 slightly damaged'bat there were no -injuriiis. Shots ivere fired at the Tiberias baths and also in Safed, Mizpah and Rosh-Pina. No injuries were reported.. Shootiiig -was also lieafd at Mishiiiar Hayarden. A Jeiy- ish laborer was stabbed by an Arab in a grove .at Kfar Saba but his con- dl*i6ii''-is:\not: considered dangerous. Two Arab shepherds, found rieair thi; scene of the .shootings at Kfar Hahor¬ esh, wcfedetaihed'^by police.   -
MEXICO CITY (WNS)—Exclu¬ sion of the Jews from Mexico because they are allegedly exploiters of Mexi¬ can labor, an' undesirable clement in the population, destroyers of morals and a danger to the country was de¬ manded in a series of ^addresses by government officials, spokesmen for thc Partido Nacional Revolucionario (the government party), leaders ofthe So¬ cialist youth organization and leaders of various professional and intellectual groups at a government-sponsored con¬ ference on vital and social statistics held in the,- library, of the Mexican, Congress: Jacob Lando, representative of the Jewish Chamber of- Commerce, was present when these anti-Semitic outbursts occurred and replied to them in a lengthy address.     '  -     '
The Jewish question was tossed into the discussion by Aiigelo Fallavencini, a prominent journalist, who was the chairman, after other speakers had de manded-measuresagainst English, Span¬ ish, Japanese and, Chinese aliens. Palla- vencini declared that the worst element, of the population are the Jews. He said that there .must be some good reason why Jews are being driven out of va¬ rious European countries and that if other natipns didn't want them there was np reason why they should be ad¬ mitted , to Mexico.' The chairman charged that the Mexican Jews live a separatist life, refuse to, assimilate and have brought no benefits, to Mexico. He insisted that in any discussion of immigration   the   Jews , shouldn't   be
considered. Advocate Lconcs, repre¬ senting the government party, insisted that Jews were not; desirable immi¬ grants because they do not assimilate but cautioned against :,thc development of racial hatred. He pointed out that the Jewish community in Mexico is sniall and consequently presents no problem but strenudjisly objected to the admission of,more Jews. Angeio Scrtuchc, an official 6f tlie government bureau' df statistics, accused the Jews o.f Seeking Mexican'! citizenship for their own selfish intelests, of refusing to give^ responsible jobs to Mexicans, of paying the loiyest wages and ot be¬ ing the \\ror5t elcinent pt the popula¬ tion. "It is to be rJgrettcd that the country is, flooded yiim them," he said. A : spokesman for , tBe Socialist stu¬ dents organizaliotis,-: marged the Jews with seducing Mbxiiljin servant girls and cried out that "^e, the Socialist youth, refuse to be, fiends with Jews. We don't want them in Mexico."
Mr. Lando reviewed the history of; the Mexican Jewry! cited the part played by the Jews ill the development of Mexican industry-and commerce, refuted the charges mat Jews are. ex¬ ploiters, and declarcdUhat they regard Mexico as their new fatherland. ,He protested against tlie anti-Semitic sen¬ timents - of spokesmen for the govern¬ ment and pleaded with Mexican youth not to let itself be .deceived by Nazi propaganda.: As h^ -was leaving the meeting room, Landd wils surrounded by a, crowd that shdiited "down,with the Jews."

JERUSALEM (WNS—Palcor Agcncy)-r-The Palcor Agency has loariied that„plah3 are beittg.made for a nation-wide general strike by all ele¬ ments of the Yishuv as a- protest against thc laxity of the Palestine gov¬ ernment in suppressing lawlessness. The Vaad LCumi submitted a state¬ ment to J. Hathorn Hall, Acting High Commissioner, for transmissioti to the British. Colonial Oftice, in which in¬ dignation and protest were expressed against the. failure of the government to .provide seciirity. Demands were voiced for an extension of the defense available for the protection of the Yishuv.     ;      .
A   lengthy   statement  outlining  its viev;'S. on'the current state of lawless¬ ness in Palestine was alsc) issued by the executive .pf. the Jewish Agfency which declared that a change in ad- mfinistrationi'was imperative for a res¬ toration bf order.  The statement read as follows;   "In view of the state of tcrrorishi the Executive of the Jewish Agency, feels it necessary to publish the following. The disturbances which began last year have not ended.   Lt. Gen. Dill informed, the forces on Oc; tober 12th that the strike and rebellion had been called off and expressed the hope that the campaign of murder was ended.    The  Jewish. Agency   regrets that the hope was not realized, apart froni a short period of relative, peace before the arrival of the Rpyal Com¬ mission and during its stay: Terrorism and murder have nof ceased. Recently they have increased,' eapeiiially in the North.   During the last seven weeks 12 Jews, 10 Arabs and 2 others have been killed and, there have been nu¬ merous attempted murders, 23 bomb¬ ings, 60' shootings,  15 highway rob¬ beries and 9 cases of uprooting.  The worst terror has been in Safed, where lawlessness has been imposed by, ter¬ rorists  who  have  established bound¬ aries between, Jewish and Arab quar^ ters. These cannot be crossed without the permission of the terrorist com mittee,. which impo^s duties for pass iicrchandise. ¦ The Jews of Safed are  unsafe.

Cardozo MarltB Fifth Year- on Supreme, Court
WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS) —While thc whole couiitry was de¬ bating tiie President's.Supreme Court reform plan,' Justice Behjam'in N.

Justice' Cardozo, whd ;wiil he 67 on May -¦!, was named to the high, bench March. U.,.Ip.J-4 ..by. former President Hiiover.." ' '
'IThe lawlessness is caused by the belief .ainong. the tcrro,rIsts' that thc government is not prepared and unable to protect the peaceful citizens. [ From the beginning of the,disturbances, the Jewish Agency has called the attention of the government to the danger of strengthening tliis belief by its attitude to the terrorists. The British forces from England returned, tlie govern¬ ment.not haviiig'used their services to put down the disturbances. The mar¬ tial law order has not gone into oper¬ ation until this, very daj', its only ef¬ fect being to invalidate' the emergency regulations. Law and justice have been weakened. No murderer.has ,suiTercd the supreme penalty. Hardly any have been tried.' Armed gangs have , not been disarmed and despite the'miiitary forces violence has gone unpunished. The Jewish community is willing to undertake self-defcrise if it is not re¬ stricted by the government. The main¬ tenance pf order is, however, a' duty of the governincnt. From experience the Jewish Agency. is convinced that security cannot: be improved unless there is a radical change in;the';admin-! istration. Otherwise,'terror will, in¬ crease and will; lead to future out¬ breaks. , A firm^ admiiiistration is im¬ perative for tiie restoration-of order." \' ''     .    .   "   -     .,    ''

NEW YORK (\VNS)-A ringing call lo the American people and the rest of the civilized world to stem N^azism's threat to democracy and to world peace by uniting in "the isola-, tion of Nazism" through'the economic boycott and the prevention- of further, financial credits to the Nazis went out froni Madison Square Garden where 20,000 people who packed Madison Square Garden to the roof-top at a huge anti-Nazi demonstration lindcr the auspices of the American Jewish Congress and the Jewish Labor Com¬ mittee J cheered wildly, as John L. Lewis, General Hugh Johnson, Dr. Frank Bohn, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and others joined in branding Hitler and Nazism as twin menaces to civiliza¬ tion. ,
The keynote of the tremendous nieeting was sounded by Mr. Lewis, head of the Committee for Industrial Organization, when he served notigc that ¦ organized, labor would fight Fascism and Nazism in this country, to the bitter end. Greeted by a tumult¬ ous pvatiori, the famous labor leader, who was making his first appearance at an antt-Nazi gathering, said that the fate of labor in Germany is "an object-lesson arid warning."- to Atner- ica and declared that the.only.meaiis to prevent Fascism in this'country is for the workers.to "find self-expres¬ sion in economic, in social and in po¬ litical matters. They'must become;cori- scioiis of their responsibilities and of their privileges. They must become articulate and they must be free from iridustHal oppression, so thpt they, may assume the power which is theirs'by right." If we can "establish industrial democracy in the United States," he declared, "we can insure the continu¬ ance of it-s political'democracy." Only a strong, wellrorganizcd, disciplined labor' moyenient can avert for America the fate ,of Gcrniahy, he.asserted.. <
Geri. Johnson's Address :
* General Johnson's plain-spoken and blunt dcnuncialion of Hitlc'r and the Nazis as "immbrar and indecent," his <;haracterization bf Nazi propaganda in America "as an evil which we sliouid trush in its begintiiiig as we would stamp out a nest of young rat¬ tlesnakes," his' unequivocal endorse¬ ment of Mayor La Guardia's remark that Hitler, is the greatest menace to ] world peace, his description of the Nazi leaders as "psychopaths," "usurp¬ ers," ''armed thieves in the night" who steeped in international dislion- csty'" brought the crowd to its feet cheering and whistlingf and shouting ill unparalleled enthiisiasm.
But the demonstration tliat broke but when Mayoi- La Guardia, who was not scheduled to speak, arrived, sur¬ passed'ev^erything that, had gone be¬ fore. At first he insisted on speaking from the box where a spotlight was thrown on him but he couldn't make himself heard over- the .tremendous thunder of cheering and applause- Final ly. he was.escorted to.the .plat¬ form, amid deafening cries-of "wc want La Guardia." After remarking that.the "hour is late" and."you"have hear;d some great addresses this eve¬ ning;" thc Mayor said," "I_noti; you "a're all spoiled and yon' insist upbn a speaker speaking through 'a'-micro,- phone. When I talk about injustice, oppression and a menace .to, peace.^T' don't - need amplification." Xntl 'a'g'aiti' bedlam i>rofee Ido'sfe.' Continuing,,. La Guardia depiared that "my, address,.of, a few days ago is uo novelty. ^ I've been saying the same thing for a long time and I expect to cbntiiuiC'to say it, and I. hope the necessity, for t^iat will be df biil^ shbrt duration! Icbme here thiVVveritiig'a's on'e of tli'e aodi''^ cnce. It may be difficult .fbrJ;56rtie' people to understand, No,.iii^tter .wjipt Hitler ma'y sayVpay no atteiitibii'tb' it because public opinibil bf'-'the'- vforlcl has decreed that Adolf.Hitler-kis'nat personally, ur .dipfprnatically ,'s»ti?^k- tionsfaeliig'." The latter German word is defined as' not having any 'lionor to defend.
Apart from the thVee 'jirhiCipaf spcSkei's, tlie highlight of the nieeting was the arrival of a delegatiop of :50{( from the German Workers Federation,
a group bf anti-Nazi Germans. Their entrance into: the hall with a uni¬ formed band leading them was thc \ signal for the first of the series o£ ovations -that shook the Garden , throughout the evening. In .and out-" side the Garden hundreds of police stood guard to prevent any possible disturbanc.es. Special police details at all gates examined every package ahd valise brought in by the audience lest, Nazis smuggle in stench bombs. The hall was bedecked with huge banners and sighs bearing such inscnptions as "Nazi goods are soaked in blOOd,'' "Nazism-breeds war," "Nazism crushes Ca'tholics, Protestants and Jews" and ''boycott Gerniany."
Drj  Wise,  Dr.   Bohn,  Dr.  Joseph Tennenbaum^ chairman of the Joint Boycott Council, B. Charney Vladecfc, chairman of the Jewish labor commit-. . tee,  and. Erika  Mann,  daughter  of . Thomas Mann, reviewed the record of four years of Nazism and called upon America.and the world to unseat the Nazi regime by the peaceful method of the boycott befpre Qermany arid Nazism plunge the world into war.   A long list of messages from the gover¬ nors of seven states, 13 United States Senators; 37 members of the.House of Representatives and many world- famous European leaders was read to. the meeting by  M.
