Japs Persecute
Jews In Java
And Shanghai
London (JPS) —News issued by
the official German News Agency
reveals that the Japanese are fol
lowing in the footsteps of their
Nazi allies in regard to Jews.
The Nipponese in Java have ar
rested countless Jewish refugees
in the former Dutch possession
and have imposed a curfew for all
native Jews in the Dutch East
Indies. The curfew has been es
tablished from the hours of eight
in the evening to five in the morn
ing. Jews cannot leave their
homes between, these hours.
The Sassoons, one of the weal
thiest families in the world, have
had their property confiscated in
Shanghai by the Japanese Gov
ernment.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942
Rejects Plea For
Jewish Legion
London (JPS) —The request made
by the Revisionists in London for
a Jewish Legion in the Polish
Army serving in Russia has been
rejected by the Polish Govern
ment-in-Exile on the ground that
the Jews did not wholeheartedly
support the formation of such a
legion. The Polish Government
here stated that disunity on the
issue forced the Government to
consider the proposal inadvisable.
ANTI-JEWISH PERSECU
TION USED TO DESTROY
POLISH ECONOMY
STOCKHOLM (JTA)—The per
secution of the Jews in Nazi-held
Poland, besides serving Hitler’s
anti-Jewish policy, is also calcu
lated with a view of destroying
the foundations of Poland's eco
nomic system and reducing the
country to one huge agricultural
territory producing food for Ger
many, the Krakauer Zeitung
reaching here this week declares.
The Nazi paper says that by
driving the Jews from important
Polish provincial towns, the Nazi
administration transforms these
towns from trade centers where
Jews were the commercial ele
ment supplying the peasants of
Norway Forbids
Priests To
Baptize Jews
Geneva (JPS) —The Quisling
Government in Norway has for
bidden priests to baptize Jews who
want to give up their faith, ac
cording to a story emanating
from a Nazi source. The Norse
Government has also cancelled all
baptismal certificates issued dur
ing the past twenty-five years.
Those certificates which go back
more than twenty-five years will
be decided individually.
TWO SOLE STRUMA
SURVIVORS GRANTED
PALESTINE ENTRY
Jerusalem (JPS-Palcor) —The
Jewish Agency for Palestine has
been officially informed that the
only two survivors of the ill
fated Struma, refugee vessel that
3a nk outside Istanbul Barbor on
February 24th with 768 Jewish
passengers aboard, have finally
been granted permission to enter
Palestine.
the neighboring agricultural areas
with merchandise, into mere vil
lages. The peasants thus become
entirely dependent on Germany.
Government Warns
Os Nazi Plan To
Divide And
Conquer
i
Washington (JPS) —Hate, con
fusion, suspicion and distortion
are among the weapons which the
Nazis are using to undermine the
morale of Americans, as part of
their technique to “divide and
conquer,” the people of America
are warned in a pamphlet being
distributed to the nation by the
Office of Facts and Figures, head
ed by Archibald McLeish.
Every device that the Nazis
used to “soften” France, Norway,
Belgium, Austria, Holland, Czecho
sovakia and Poland is described
by the pamphlet which points out
that psychological warfare is part
of the Nazi arsenal to destroy
the unity of the nation which it
hopes to conquer.
“Mein Kampf,” anti-Semitic
source of Hitler’s creed of world
power, is cited for its doctrine
that the masses “are more easily
victimized by a large than by a
small lie.”
The pamphlet, called "Divide
and Conquer,” illustrated by car
toons, is part of the counter
warfare which OFF will wage a
mong Americans by distributing
millions of copies of literature
and through other means to fight
against rumor-mongering of Axis
agents in this country.
Wallace Calls
Dies As Bad As
Nazi Goebbels
Washington (JPS) —In a blist
ering attack on Representative
Martin Dies and his tactics in
smearing every other person in
Government service a “Commun
ist,” Vice-President Henry Wal
lace issued a statement here in
which he said that Dies’ declara
tions “tend to arouse in the pub
lic mind” such “doubts and anger”
that “might as well come from
Goebbels himself so far as their
practical effect is concerned.”
The Vice-President asserted that
“as a matter of fact, the effect
on our morale would be less dam
aging if Mr. Dies were on the
Hitler payroll.”
The Texas Representative,
Chairman of the Dies Committee,
had been accused of tracking down
both actual and alleged Commun
ists with more enthusiasm than in
tracking pro-Nazi and Fascist
activities.
