Washington JTA)—Leaders of all faiths rallied in support of the Rod Cross drive to raise 810,000,000 for war-ravaged Europe, with Babbl Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland taking the lead oh behalf of American Jews.

Rabi Silver •— co-chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, declared in a message to Red Cross Chairman Norman H. Davis that "the tragedy which has overtaken the peoples of Europe knows no boundaries of race or religion."

Catholic' Archbishop Curley of Baltimore and Episcopal Bishop Freeman of Washington emphasized that all religions must cooperate in support of the Red Cross, which ministers to all without respect to color, race, nationality or creed.

Help To Belgians, Dutch The Red Cross acted to help Belgian and Dutch refugees pouring into France and England from their invaded countries. Many are believed to. be German emigres who were quartered in camps in the Low Countries. Chairman Norman H. Davis announced $100,000 had been cabled to Paris headquarters for this mission. Assistance will be given, Davis said, through the French and British Red Cross societies.

Davis announced, in answer to numerous inquiries, that funds collected in the war relief drive will not be used in Germany, the German Red Cross having served notice that Germany would take care of her own needs. ' / Maurice Blsgyer, secretary of BJnai, pledged the full support of the organization - to the Red Cross" European relief drive.

PLANM SCHOOL Seen as Partial Answer to Discrimination Problem ^ New York (JTA) —A partial Answer to the problems of discrimination in medical schools may be provided by the planned establishment of a new medical college in New York City, to be supported " by prominent physicians and laymen, non-sectarian in character and with an eventual endowment of $25,000,000.

The idea of such a college, which has bee discussed for many years, came to a head when a group of sponsors, headed by Dr. Simon L. Ruskln and Dr. Anthony Bassler, petitioned the charter committee of the New York State Board of Regents for a provisional charter.

The stranding of many American students, unable to complete their medical studies in Scotland and other European! countries because of the war, is one of the immediate factors making establishment of such a college urgently necessary, according.... to Dr. Ruskin, who helped to work out the program together with Max D. Steuer, the attorney.

WOMEN'S DIVISION MET ON MONDAY

\ London (WNS)— Exhausted from continuous air bombings and Bhelljngs, the Jewish population of Amsterdam has fallen easy prey to a typhoid epidemic which has swept the Jewish quarter o£ that city, it was reported here.

While Jewish doctors a n d nurses rallied to combat the dreaded epidemic, the Mayor of Amsterdam issued an appeal for food. It was learned here that the invading German army had confiscated most of the city's food supply, leaving Amsterdam with insufficient food to meet her normal needs.

The epidemic in the Jewish quarter was attributed to the fact that Jews from all parts of the land rushed to Amsterdam aa soon as the Nazis started to march, hoping to secure safety in that city. The influx of Jews from the provinces, coupled with Inadequate food and water, resulted in the rapidly-spreading epidemic.

The Mayor has requested the Jews to abandon the Jewish quar(Continued on Page 2.)

Not oaly is Coughlin re ceiviag generous fiaancial subsid ies from the Masis but is als heavily indebted to them, especial ly to Goebells, for his spiritual inspiration ana cultural food, which he supplies to the American public claiming them to be original with him. The Nazi World Serv ice coming from Erfurt is at hi: disposal, and he uses its giganti falsehoods regularly and withou shame.

When one concludes reading thi amazing book, two v e r y simple question are uppermost. Why doe the Catholic Church tolerate such a priest, and why does the government permit him to carry on his scandalous activities? It is difficult to answer either question.

Why a scoundrel like Coughlin should be allowed to swindle the American public financially and religiously, is a real mystery.

Our Jewish defense b o d i e s which are so disturbed a b o u t Coughlin but about whom they do so pitifully little would be wise to examinine this valuable book and make it available to the public at large in a very cheap edition Ten or fifteen million copies of this small book would I believe end the Coughlin menace.

A New Cabinet for Britain His narrow "vote of confidence" In the House of Commons taken by Hitler to mean further British dilly-dallying, Neville Chamberlain betook himself to Buckingham palace to offer his resignation to the king. In his place comes Winston Churchill •whose erratic career was enough to keep him from responsible office for twenty-five years.

In the new cabinet have gone men. who enjoy the confidence of the British people more fully than those associated with Chamberlain's disastrous policy of "appeasement." What is remarkable about the whole affair is the fact that Chamberlain managed to flaunt public opinion for three years.

As the representative of vested interests, he was always perfectly willing to come to terms with, the Nazis. Sir Nevile Henderson in his significant •'Failure of a Mission," points out the series o£ rebuffs given the Chamberlain policy. But the former Prime Minister never seemed discouraged and refused to abandon a policy of compromise that became a great source of amusement to German officials. Every suggestion of his was met in Berlin with indifference or outright insult.

At a time when Britain should have shown it could m a t c h determination with determination it knuckled under to the demands of Germany—as shown in the dismissal of Eden from the cabinet at the behest of the dictators.

Chamberlain was pointed out as a man who •was no match for Hitler because he was too honest, because he was too true to his obligations. But What of the pledges to Austria and noticeably to the Czechs? What of his responsibility to the promises made both Jews and Arabs? In this his perfidy matched Hitler's.

Despite the fact Churchill has two notable failures to his "credit"—Gallipoll and the Norwegian campaign—he does enjoy the supreme confidence of the British people. He was the first to recognize the Nazi danger. Had he been Prime Minister during these years, many believe there would have been no war. He has strengthened confidence by appointing to his cabinet Britain's outstanding men, leaders of all parties and representatives of all classes.

Churchill assumes power at a critical moment In British history. The long-awaited offensive has begun, an offensive aimed squarely at Britain though the Low Countries are bearing the brunt of the battle. Only militant prosecution of the war can keep up the spirits of Britain at this time.

This is Churchill's task and it is not an easy one. '

time again by the armies of great powers. Spain, under the Woody Duke of Alva, decimated Us population acd established the same Inquisition that'created such, havoc among Spain's Jewries.

Louis XIV took Holland with Ms aavy, and Napoleon placed his trotter, Louis, upon the Dutch throne.

Long the citadel of religious liberty, it has given refuge to all persecuted peoples. During the days of the persecution on the Iberian penninsula, thousands of Jews came to Holland and today 23,000 liomeless Jews from Germany have been living there.

In the wake of the German army are 260,000 Nelherland and Belgian Jews. They have borne the brunt of refugee care and have risen nobly to the challenge of Hitler. Now they are being called upon for even greater sacrifice.

Again the Nazis must utilize a bald-faced lie to justify their violation of a people's neutrality.

No countries have been more strict in the enforcement of neutrality obligations—going against their own obvious self-interest to protect themselves from the excuse for invasion.

This la not an unexpected attack. The Allies knew it was the only way open for the Germans If they Intended to land the knockout blow they had been threatening. The Dutch have opened their dikes to flood the lowlands with water. But if the ferocity of this conflict continues, it will be blood that will soak the tulip beds of Holland and the famous poppies of Flanders Field.

TKe Vatican Envoy Although it has been almost six months since President Roosevelt sent Myron Taylor to the Vatican, controversy still ragea over the appointment.

An unceasing attack has come from various Protestant groups, and none has been more militant than the "Christian Century," one of the most liberal and least bigoted of American publications.

On the surface, it would seem that the controversy raging between the various Protestant denominations and the Catholics over the appointment is of no concern to us. But it must be remembered that the President was looking at the influence of religion when the appointment was made—not of any particular denomination but all religion.

To a certain extent we can understand the attitude of the Protestant groups. Regardless of our likes or dislikes in the matter, it cannot be denied that America is a Protestant state. It is predominantly Protestant in its religious affiliation, and the philosophy of the American government is basically an expression of the finest aspects of the Protestant Reformation.

Unfortunate suspicion between the two main bodies of Christianity has been kept alive by Illadvised acts of both sides. Considerable ill-feeling has been stirred by the position of the Church in the Spanish Civil War, and it cannot be said that the activities of Father Coughlin have allayed this suspicion.

The Vatican moreover is no longer a temporal state—as It was up until 1870 when our diplomatic relations with the Papacy finally ceased. We have no representatives accredited to the heads of other religious denominations—not to the Dalai Lama or the Sherr'f of Mecca. < •

BIBLE

Wkeu them pass through t h e waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow upon three; when thou walkest through fire, thou shalt not be burned.

Drop down, ye heavens, f r o m above, and let the skies p o u r down righteousness; let the earth bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together—I the Lord have created.

I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I am the Lord, t h a t doeth all these things.

TALMUD Rabbi Giddel was negotiating about a certain piece of land, when R. Abba went and bought it. R. Giddel brought a complaint about it before R. Zera, who forwarded it to R. Isaac Napcha. The latter said: "Wait until he comes up during the festival and we will discuss it with R. Abba." When R. Abba came during the festival, R. Naphcha said to him: "When a poor man is negotiating about a piece of property and another comes and takes it away from him, what is the law?" Whereupon R. Abba answered: Such a man should be called wicked.

"If so, then why did the master do such a thing with R. Giddel?"

I did not know about his negotiation." But now since you know it, let the master return it to him." Whereupon R. Abba replied: "I could not agree to sell it to him, for this is the first business and it would be a bad sign should I dispose of it in such a manner. However, if be desires to take it as a present, lie can have it." The consequence was that R. Giddell did not take the land as a present because it is written (r. 15:27) "He t h a t hateth gifts will live." And R. Abba did not take possession of it, because R. Giddel had negotiated before for It; so neither took possession of It, and It was therefore called "The field of the Rabbis."

Rabbi Elazar said: "E*ra did not leave Babylon until he established the purity of the Jewish families by careful investigation, and then he went to Palestine."

Rob eatd: "Whoever marries not for love, but only for the money the woman possesses—the money will not last very long, and the children of such a marriage will be degenerates."

Rabbi Samuel Bald "that In whatever a person disqualifies others it comes from. the very same thing of his own disqualifications."

The N a v y Department, which has its own excellent intelligence service, suspected that the Nazi press, in pointing at the Mediterranean, iiiul the Balkans, as a possible t h e a t e r ' o f war, was merely concealing with » smoke screen of words the movement of tthe Nazi H i g h Command. The Navy tteparttuicnt deduced that the next German tbrust was aimed at the Netherlands. Long before Holltojd confirmed this suspicion by partial mobilization, the Navy Dep&rtmeut had decided to base the fleet in Hawaii.

The reason for this is obvious.

Holland invaded, and t a k e n * leaves the Dutch E a s t Indies, richest prize in t h e Far East, without a motherland Japan, oil the pretext of "protecting" the In* dies, would certainly like to move in. The only thing to deter Japan would be the American battle fleet riding at anchor hi mid-Pacific.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the Nazi world policy, is reflected by the Trojan horsemen in the United States. For instance, on the same day that it was decided the fleet should remain in Hawaii, James True —* the notorious Jew-baiter — unleashed a blast at the government for "meddling" in the Far East.

Men like True are playing the Nazi game up to the hilt. Under the cloak of "isolationists," they have become Hitler's Fifth Column in America. Right now, we feel they're dangerous. They'll b» ten times as dangerous in another year, if the Nazi victories continue, and they openly seek the destruction of the Constitution, and the formation of a Nazi-type government.

The news from Cuba, that the island republic has banned all further immigration of religious and political refugees from Europe, is v i e w e d with sardonic amusement at the State Depart* ment. Cuban officials tried a million dollar grab of refugee bonds some months ago. The State Behelted. With this easy source of partment stepped in, exerted pressure, and tho confiscation was unearned revenue gone, it seems the Cubans are sulking —r and taking it out on tho refugees.

POLES SEEKING JEWISH VIEWS Anxious to Ascertain Attitude to New Polish State London (JTA) — Polish orities are anxious to ascertain the views of responsible Jewish organisations the world over regarding the future of the Jews in Poland following restoration of the Polish State.

The use of the term "negotiations" in connection with conversations between representatives ot the Polish Government and responsible Jewish organizations Is "obviously out of place" in regard to such questions as evacuation of "surplus" Jewish population, it was learned from authoritative Jewish quarters.

While the Angers Government has made no official statement of policy on the question, the subject of reduction of "surplus" Jewish population, it is understood, has been raised informally in Polish Government circles.

(Count Jerzy Potocki, Polish Ambassador In Washington, replying to a protest by the American Jewish Congress against the revival of the Jewish emigration issue, aid: "I am not aware ot any •uch negotiations which you mention."

Equal Status Desired The Jewish view, w h i c h has been made clear on numerous occasions, it is pointed out here, Is that the Jews of Poland should enjoy the same status as all other of the State. This equality of status would, it Is emphasized, preclude consideration of a section of the Jewish population as "surplus" and responsible representatives of the Jewish community could not consider any proposals derogating from full equality for Jewish citizens.

Polish Jewish circles, w h i c h have been keenly disappointed by the Polish Government's failure bo far to issue an official declaration of policy pledging full equality for the Jews in Poland, are distributed by the raising of the evacuation issue by official quarters. Polish Jewish circles report attempts to secure Jewish approval of a policy providing for Jewish emigration from Polish territories.

Revisionist to Cabinet Meanwhile the Jewish Chronicle reports the likelihood that Zionist-Revisionist will be added to the Polish National Council "In view of the fact that the Revisionists are believed willing to support a policy of Jewish emigration which is favored by the Polish Cabinet, to whom a solution of the Jewish problem lies still, as it was thought to be under Col. (Josef, Beck and company, in getting rid of the Jew." Reporting that the Jewish question had been lengthily discussed in last week's Cabinet meeting; the Chronicle states that it was decided to leave in abeyance for the time being the question of taking an open, c 1 e a r attitude with regard to the Jews and try to deal with the problem slowly.

The paper further reports that the Cabinet had sent out. a number of trusty representatives to put out feelers and approach various Jewish bodies in F r a n c e , England and the United States with a view to obtain information on their attitude and to try to establish contacts between t h e s e bodies and Polish official circles.

New Era of Cooperation Seen Paris (JTA — ) Jan Stanczik, Minister of Labor in the exiled Polish Government and a Socialist Leader, declared that anti-Semitism was not rooted in the Polish people and a new era of cooperation between P o l e s and Jews would begin with the restoration of the Polish State.

Stanczik spoke, together with other Government representatives, at ceremonies inaugurating a new home of the Association of Polish Jews in France, saying-he spoke both as a Cabinet minister and as a Socialist, he was warmly applauded by the Jewish audience when he asserted: "We are today In the midst of a tight between modern humanity and the dark middle ages. It is impossible to fight Hitler and approve simultaneously his inhuman racial theory and hatred against the Jews. Anti-Semitism is not rdoted in the psychology of the Polish people. Its main representatives are dissatisfied unemployed and intellectuals.

RELIGIOUS GROUPS IN U.S. UNIFIED BY COMMON DANGERS New York (JTA) — The European war has helped to unify Protestants, Catholics and Jews in this country in their approach to common dangers and c o m m o n problems, and to stimulate the movement for inter-falth co-operation. Director Everett R. Clinchy ot the National Conference of Christians and Jews declared in his annual report.

The report noted a decrease in anti-Semitism during the year, and ascribed this trend in part to the fact that "never before in Christian history have as many Sunday school teachers, clergymen and lay leaders been as determined to uproot anti-Semitism from the Christian heritage as now."

"The war, also," Dr. Clinchy added, "has served to open the eyes ot Americans to the fact that anti-Semitism leads onto antlChristianlsm. They are becoming increasingly a w a r e that antiSemitism Is an instrument in the 'Trojan horse' tactics used to divide a people so they may be rendered impotent in the face of attack."

Dr. Clincby expressed gratification over the support given the inter-falth movement by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders and organization.

V4 POPULATIONOF WARSAW STARVING Washington (WNS) — ReportIng to the annual convention of the American Red Cross, James T. Nicholson, Red Cross official and first American to be permitted In Warsaw by the Nazis, declared that "one-fourth of the population of Warsaw lack adequate food."

"Signs of malnutrition and hunger are evident there and in Cracow," Mr. Nicholson said. "One can see them in the pinched faces of children, tho very prevalent inflamed eye-lids, sores on faces and heads and the emclatlon of many of the aged. Even though food supplies were plentiful, m a n y would be without the means to purchase them."

"The relief needs," he continued, "produced by the invasion and the terrible bombardment of Warsaw are very great. They have since last October become intensified greatly by the mass deportations of the Polish populations from the Pozman and Pomeranian districts."

Foreign News Note (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of three articles by a special correspondent giving a comprehensive survey of the effects *' of Hungary's anti-Jewish legislation.)

BUDAPEST Hungary is perhaps the only non-belligerent, non-totalitarian country in the world today where there is a shortage rather than a surplus of doctors, chemists, architects, engineers, and other professional workers.

The Budapest evening papers of April 10, for e x a m p 1 e, announce t h a t the services of no fewer than 132 medical assistants are urgently required by the Orszagos Tarsdaloinbiztosito Intezet, the Government-controlled General Health and Accident Insurance Institute.

The explanation for this short- age of doctors and professionals Is neither a national emergency nor an epidemic, nor e v e n a boom; it is simply the result of Hungary's anti-Jewish legislation.

No Replacements From 3,000 to 5,000 Jewish professionals, technicians a n d clerks have been removed from their Jobs in the last year, but only 1,000 to 2,000 Gentiles have been found to take their places.

1 Logically, of course, the problem could be solved by permitting the re-employment of s o m e of the Jews already dismissed. But racism is not a logical philosophy, and the Hungarian public authorities refuse to allow Jews to re: tain their pobs or to return to •work, even where there are no Gentiles available to replace them.

Only in isolated cases where it Is vital that Jews continue to be : employed, have the authorities re' laxed their zeal. One example of such nonenforcement is the Municipal Hospital of UJpest, a suburb of the capital, where every staff physician in a Jew. None has yet been required to leave, however, because of the difficulty in finding Gentile physicians to re' place them. The latter, profiting ' from the artificial scarcity, are now receiving higher fees and aalarles than they were even able to obtain before, and naturally are reluctant to work at the Ujpest Hospital for less than they are able to get elsewhere.

The "sir per cent" law of Muy 1939, which superseded former Premier Bela Imredy's "20 per cent" law of the year before, proTides that the number of Jews en" gaged l'n professional and technical work be reduced by January 1.

1943, to six per cent — the pror portion of Jews to the population of Hungary. The same law also requires that the proportion of Jews engaged In independent commerce and industry be reduced, by >.the name date, to 12 per cent, or, i in special c a s e s , 15 per cent, I where the surplus is made up of j Jewish veterans of the W o r l d

\War.

i i1

Journalism Hardest Hit Though the law specifically allows three and a half yearB for

the carrying out of Us previsions, the public authorities in actual practice have been BO anxious to deprive Jews of their livelihoods that the six per cent provision has already been reached or exceeded in ail other professions, however, the percentage of Jews has been brought down to six per cent or under.

Journalism, one of the professions in which Jews were formerly predominant in Budapest, has perhaps been the hardest hit of all. Today, less than a year after the passage of the "six per cent" law, more than half of Budapest's 22 newspapers employ no Jews at all.

Eight employ only one Jew each.

Only the Pester Lloyd, semi-official German-language newspaper, and the liberal Esti Kurir continue employing any number of Jews, and even they may not employ as many Jews as before.

Az Est, a popular, Jewish-owned "boulevard" newspaper of a year ago, was forced to fire all of 40 of its reporters and editors and to replace its Jewish executives with Gentiles. Later it was forced to suspend publication, and only recently has reappeared under the name of Pest without a singe Jew on its payroll. lawyers Limited Law, a n o t h e r profession in which Jews were formerly predominant, has not yet been completely "Aryanlzed." But though well over six per cent of Budapest's lawyers are still Jewish, the Jews have been forced to limit their activities more- or less to those of solicitors. Budapest citizens, whateier their race or opinions, no longer fln.1 it CD-ivi-nteut to retain Jewish attorneys, even though it is still legally permitted. For it has become axiomatic in the past year that if your lawyer is a Jew you lose your case, regardless of its merits.

Even in commercial enterprises, where a 12 to 15 per cent limit IB allowed by law, Jews are being ruthlessly replaced without regard for either the percentage provision or the clause which givea employment until J a n u a r y . l .

1945, to bring the proportion of Jews In their employ down to the legal limit.

So great has been the pressure against the continued employment of Jews that many of Hungary's l a r g e s t financial organizations have eliminated their Jewish employees altogether. C o n c e r n s which no longer employ a single Jew include: Pestl Hazai Elso Takarekpenstar Egyesulet, a leading savings bank; Foldbiielinkclintezet, Hungary's largest farm loan bank; Futura, the leading Hungarian grain t r a d i n g and grain-exporting trust; Hangya. a leading producer's cooperative; and Kozponti, a credit cooperative.

Anti-Semltism^has also been applied to the Army, although the law of May, 1939, makes no mention of military service. A recent decree of the War Ministry, how-

lEFAIRINfi FOR EVIflWElE IN THE FAHH.Y

ever, prohibits Jews from attaining even non-commissioned officer's status and excludes t h e m from any branch of the service but the infantry.

But Jews are still required to perform two years' military service, just as they were before the anti-Jewish laws went into effect.

BRITAIN ROUNDS UP REFUGEES 3,000 Interned in Fear of "Trojan Horae" Activities Lodon (JTA) — Three thousand Germans and Austrians, all males aged 16 to 60 and many of them refugees from Nazi persecution, were in internment camps following a lighting swoop by the authorities percipltatcd by fear of a parachutist invasion coupled with "Trojan horse activities."

The aliens raids, which w e r e confined to the eastern- half of England and Scotland, were described as p u r e l y precautionary and not based on evidence against any particular persons.

Simultaneously, e v e r y male alien aged 16 to 60, neutral and friendly alike, who lives in the raided areas, was told he must report daily to the police, must not use any motor vehicle other than a p u b l i c conveyance and must not be out of doors between the hours of eight p. m. and six a. m.

The roundup was affected on orders of the Home office and was designed to remove possible

'fifth column" activities. E v e n German and Austrians who had satisfied the A l i e n s Tribunals that they were anti-Nazi were included among the internes, t h e only exemptions feeing invalids and the infirm. Iacluded w e r e doctors, dentists, Eiu.sieia.ns, lawyers, tradesmen and others.

TOE JEWISH PRESS,

Siegfried Wagner

By DANIEL L. SCHORR We have come into possession of a copy of a document of great interest.

The * document Is a denunciation of- anti-Semitism and intolerance wrltteia by the late Siegfried Wagner, only son. of Rich- ard Wagner. The latyer was a bitter anti-Semite and his ideas are •aid to hate had some influence on the direction of Adolf Hitler's political thinking. It is appropriate that this should be published now since May 22 marks the 127th anniversary of R i c h a r d Wagner's birth.

The elder Wagner, Respite the never-dispelled possibility t h a t his own father was Jewish, had an anti-Semitic obsession which would not have been so important had Wagner not been so great a composer. He propagated t h e View that Jews were not capable of any true art, that they were essentially foreigners wherever they lived, that their only interest in music was commercial, that they controlled the press — in a .word, he preached an early form of Nazi racialism. One who wishes more details of Wagner's antiJewish mania can read his pamphlet, "Das Judenthum in der Jtfuslk" ("Jewry in Music").

Mis views about the Jews were not shared, however, by, his son, Siegfried, as we are now able to show. In 1921, when plans were afoot for the revival of the Bay-, teuth Wagner festivals, which had been halted by the world war, there was some pressure from German anti-Semites for the barTing of Jews from participation.

The spokesman for a large antiSemitic group within the Bayreuth circle was a Herr Fueringer, Who wrote to Siegfried Wagner urging a ban on Jews.

Siegfried Wagner sent a reply, copies of which he made available Jo his friends, "with the request to spread it in your circles, but not make it public." Wagner died in 1930. In view of his death and the rise to power of Hitler In Germany, some of his friends have felt it appropriate to release the letter. Accordingly, it was published in the Basler Nachrlchten on February 20 of this year. This newspaper vouches for the authenticity of the letter.

Through the kindness of someone In Basle, the publication of the letter was called to our attention, and we are glad to publish the following translation: Translation of Letter Bayreuth, June 31, 1921.

Jtfy dear Mr. Pneringer: To your letter, which I found 4>n m y return home,, I must reply that I do not share your view.

We have among the Jews faithful, honorable and generous sup-

porters who have given us numerous evidences of their good intentions. Are we entitled to offend them? Should they be rejected on the sole ground that they are JewsT Is that human? Is that Christian? Is that German? No! To act thus we Germans would have to be quite different fellows; we should have consciences purer than a fountain-head. But we are not of this kind.

The lives of all great Germans bespeak the misery, indifference, baseness and stupidity which have been visited upon them by the German people. The "Festsplele" of 1876 to 1889 confirm what I have said. To cover the deficit my then ailing father had to travel to England and conduct concerts.

A paltry 150,000 marks was not available (in Germany.) A n d when later — thank God! — Englishmen, Frenchmen and Americans and other friends made pilgrimage to Bayreuth and alleviated the serious financial crisis, the German Philistine grumbled that foreigners were being given preference at Bayreuth. Well, why did he not come?

Only after my father's works had their triumphant introduction In Paris did Mr. German begin to note that Richard Wagner might be somebody and that he (Mr. German) could risk a trip to Bayreuth without compromising himself. So gradually t h e G e r m a n s came to Dayreuth.

Without tho foreigners, however, we would have been long since bankrupt. H a v e we Germans, then, tho right to bar others when they generously wish to contribute towards the resumption of the "Festspiele," I deny that categorically.

And if Jews are willing to help us it Is doubly admirable since my father, in his pamphlets, attacked and, injured them. They, had and have every reason to hate Bayreutli. Now it develops that despite my father's many attacks on: them they support his art with great enthusiasm.

Tho names of his earlier Jew-

ish admirers are all well known to you. Who came out in the press for my father at that time?

George Davldsohn and Dohm. You have also heard of Tauslg and HeioilCh Borges. Josef Rubinstein made the pianoforte arrangement of "Parsifal" and Levi conducted the first performance of "Parsifal." And if among 100,000 Jews there was only one who loved my father's work with heart a n d soul, I would be ashamed if I wanted to reject him because he was a Jew. ,~ On Bayreuth hill we wish* to do positive, not n e g a t i v e work.

Whether Chinese, Negro, American, Indian or Jew, it is all the same to us. But we could learn from the Jews how to co-operate, how to help. With envy and admiration I note how Jews support their artists, how they open the way for them. If I were a Jew all my operas would be performed In all theaters. This way I must wait until I am dead.

No, my dear Mr. Pueringer, we are to blame for the desperate conditions in our fatherland because we have no national pride, because we neglect our own men.

Is it necessary, in addition to all these bad qualities, to be intolerant, to reject men who mean well? Would you deny that among tho Jews there are men with honest enthusiasm f o r Bayreuth?

This group I need not and will not injure. I can enlighten you by citing the names of a large group.

In the selection of our artists we have never brought In the racial question. Voice, talents and

>I appearance were j& munities where there are B'aal ways pur standards. And to this B'rith ledges and auxiliaries,* principle we will adhere. Reiterating an earlier plea that I hope' that you wilt accept this statement with understand' ing. Bayreuth shall be a real work of peace.

Sincerely yours, Siegfried Wagner.

B'NAI B'RITH GIVES $2,500 TO RED CROSS Washlntgon, D. C. — B'nai B'rith has c o n t r i b u t e d $2,500 from its national Emergency Relief Fund to the new war relief campaign of the American Red Cross and has thrown the full force of its 125,000 men and women members throughout the country behind the drive, Henry Monsky, president of B'nai B'rith, oldest and largest national Jewish service and fraternal organization in the United States, announced yesterday.

Mr. Monsky declared that he was communicating with the officers of all B'nai B'rith District Grand L o d g e s and Women's Grand Lodges, urging them to advise their subordinate units to cooperate with the Red Cross' appeal In the more than 500 com-

tbe United States m&y -be kept out of war and once more pledging B'nai B'rith "to full devotion t o the cause of peace in America,'* Mr. Monsky said "it is not inconsistent with B'nai B'rith's prayer and hope that our country may, stay out of war to contribute to the Red Cross' war relief fund. As a token of its sympathy with and desire to be of assistance to the civilian populations in the new, war zones, B'nai B'rith, representing a cross-section from its Emer* gency Relief Fund to help inaugurate widespread relief measures for the war-stricken peoples of Holland, Belgium and L u x e m bourg, who only yesterday were giving shelter and c o m f o rt t0 many thousands of those who had previously been made refugees by Germany."
