The return of the American ambas
sador from Berlin, even though not
formally recalled, is a distinct rebuke
to the Nazi government. President
Roosevelt's words on the question, em
phasize that rebuke. Eespeeially these:
"I myself could scarcely believe that
such things could occur in a twentieth
century civilization."
As a matter of fact, the mobbing and
robbing and persecution of the Jews
and the mobbing of Catholic prelates
did not occur in a twentieth century
civilization. Macaulay speaks of the
evil deeds of a government "which has
the strength of civilization without its
mercy." He never had such an ex
ample as the Nazi government would
furnish him now.
For as a plain statement of fact, the
Nazi government has taken leave of
every attribute of civiliation, except
its power. Using all the agencies, both
productive and destructive, that mod
ern science has placed at the disposal
of man, it is conducting persecutions
the like of which have not been seen in
any part of Europe west of Poland
since the Thirty Years War ended in
1648.
The Nazi Minister of Economics,
Walter Funk, says that $800,000,000
of wealth owned by Jews, about one
third of the total wealth owned by
Jews in Germany, has been confiscated.
And the $400,000,000 fine levied on
German Jews because of the shooting
of a Nazi official is still to be collected.
Funk summed up his work in the
words:
Twisting of thought and emotional
currents—
Expressed in apparent hypocrisies—
As when an Alpine paperhanger—
Bases his "rationalizing" on Aryan
presuppositions—
Or congenital atheists And them
selves—
In sympathy with Thor and Wotan—
Hating Jehovah because he is a for
eign god—
Most frightful of all is the blood
lust—
Sure index of the primal beast—
Ruthless toward both friend and
foe—
Most curious puzzle of all appears—
In concatenation of modern intelli
gence—
With blind spots of tribal super
stitions—
Mental periods blanked by egotistic
hallucination—
Inevitably resulting in disorder of
emotions—
In anarchy of day-to-day kaleido
scope of relations—
Assuming greatly, that the intel
lectual functions of a nation—
Can be expressed and typified—
By the cunning, twisted logic and
audacity—
Of a paranoiac brain.
Possession of modern mechanisms
by this ruthless thing—
Which turns to uses anti-human-
Top ptroducts of centuries of
science—
Gives unexpected power to the mad
nation—
Which with recalcitrance uncon
ceived—
Smashes all inhibitions which have
contributed—
To the building and perfection of
machines—
Threatens to make raw material of
human flesh and blood—
Wherewith to fashion its astounding
empire—
Menacing an incredulous world—

"The measures thus far taken will
permit complete exclusion Of Jews
from the business world."
In addition to the savagery of it,
Funk's statement confirms the re
peated stories that Hitler is having a
hard time getting cash.
In spite of all disturbances in the
international field, British trade union
membership has increased more than
500,000 in the last year, and now
stands at 5,851,000.
Except for the World War, that is
the highest membership British unions
ever reached.
While union membership grows, the
number of British unions declines.
There are now 1,033 unions in Britain,
49 fewer than five years ago. Twelve
unions have nearly half the total mem
bership, and 40 have more than three
quarters of it.
With this fact in mind, the fact that
British workers are getting more and
more angry and disgusted with the
British foreign policy has large mean
ing. The last bulletin received from
the Trade Union Congress, with head
quarters in London, contains a scath
ing denunciation of the Munich agree
ment, and contains the definite charge
that Britain and France, under Cham
berlain's leadership, threatened mili
tary measures against Czechoslovakia
if she resisted.
"Czechoslovakia was like a person
held down by his 'friend' so that his
attackers can rob him better/' says
the bulletin.
Which is still held by its traditions
of decency—
With catastrophes of Schrecklich
keit—
Not even yet believed—
The normal world cannot accept the
logic—
Which now appears in its great
arena, in control—
Of this Implemented Monster.
Exit For Bluecher
(From The Washington Post)
The mystery regarding the fate of
Marshal Vassily K. Bluecher is only
partially cleared up by the announce
ment in a Moscow newspaper that his
post as commander-in-chief of the Red
army in the Soviet Far East has been
filled.
Is Marshal Bluecher, still in Russia
or has he managed to find refuge
abroad? Does he remain among the
living or has he, perforce, joined that
numerous band of civil and military
workers in the Soviet vineyard who,
having fallen afoul of Stalen, now rest
in unlocated graves These questions
are not answered. What appears cer
tain is that a brilliant strategist and
superb military organizer, who more
than anyone else was responsible for
the building up of Russian prestige in
the Far East, has been summarily and
inexplicably eliminated from the pic
ture.
The fact that Bluecher's popularity
with the rank and file of the army he
led did not prevent his being purged
is eloquent proof of Stalin's power.
The Soviet dictator is still obviously
stronger than any he has come to re
gard as a possible rival. But at the
same time the Bluecher episode is fur
ther evjdenpe of that disturbed and
chaotic internal situation in the Soviet
Union which has played so great a
part jn sharply reducing P^s^ja's in
ternational influence.
The handwriting on the wall is
usually Greek to most of us.
o.?,
The Nazi bandits are breaking all
records of their ancient profession in
the size of the ransom they are de
manding from the Jews.
As nearly as a layman could tell,
the utility lawyers who attacked the
T. V. A. before the Supreme Court laid
down the doctrine that the Constitu
tion forbids the government to do any
thing that the power companies don't
want it to do.
Starting in 1939, General Motors
will lend its workers during any week
of idleness 60 per cent of their aver
age weekly wage, to be paid back in
work. A forward step, yet. But when
a shoe factory in Massachusetts and a
packing house in Minnesota guarantee
an annual wage, paid by weeks—and
succeed at it, why shouldn't G. M.
try it?
Highest Courts In 8
States Approve Public:
Housing Legislation
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Na
than Straus, administrator of the
United States Housing Authority,
hailed the decision of the Supreme
Court of Georgia upholding the con
stitutionality of the State Housing
Authorities Law and the State Hous
ing Co-operation Act as clearing the
wag for Georgia's full participation
in the nation-wide $800,000,000 slum
clearance and low-rent rehousing pro
gram.
The Georgia decision brings to
eight the number of state tribunals
which have passed favorably on the
validity of various provisions of pub
lic housing legislation.
In addition to the Supreme Court
of Georgia, the highest courts of New
York, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and
Florida have upheld provisions of sim
ilar state housing statutes.
Lumber Handlers Form
A. F. of L. Union
St. John, N. B. (ILNS).—In a three
cornered battle to organize the scow
men, surveyors, lumber and log hand
lers, of the St. John district, the Amer
ican Federation of Labor triumphed
over the C. I. O. and All-Canadian Con
gress of Labor. Organization of the
Scowmen's and Surveyors' Union, Lo
cal Number 1,578, has been completed
with affiliation to the International
Longshoremen's Association.
The C. I. O. and All-Canadian Con
gress of Labor had been attempting
to form a union of St. John harbor
lumber handlers and surveyors, but
without results. The new A. F. of
union starts out with a full comple
ment of the men employed in the move
ment of lumber into and out of the
port of St. John. Lumber and pulp
wood are brought to St. John in scows
and barges for ocean shipment to Eu
ope, Australia, South Africa, West In
dies and the United States,
Soon after the new union was or
ganized, it successfully negotiated
contracts for one year covering wage
and working conditions with all of the
lumber companies using the port of
St. John.
Hatters Score Again
In Fight Against
Runaway Shops
Chicago (ILNS).—Another victory
has been won by the United Hatters
Cap and Millinery Workers' Interna
tional Union in its fight against run
away shops.
In a preliminary decision by David
F. Smith, trial examiner for the Na
tional Labor Relations Boai'd, the Mur
ray Hat Company, of De Kalb, 111., has
been found guilty of violating the Na
tional Labor Relations Act.
The company had been in business
in Chicago under the name of the
Kronthal Manufacturing Company. To
escape the union, it moved to De Kalb
where it opened a non-union shop but
again encountered stiff opposition
from the union, which followed it to
its new place of business, called a
strike, and picketed the shop.
The trial examiner recommended
dissolution of the company union and
cancellation of its contract with the
company, reinstatement of eight em
ployes fired for union activities, with
back pay from the time of their dis
charge last February, and immediate
reinstatement, upon application, of all
strikers, and displacement, if neces
sary, of strike-breakers to make room
for the strikers.

Supreme Court Review
Again Refused Mooney
Washington, D. C. (ILNS). —The
Supreme Court refused to reconsider
its denial of a review in the case of
Tom Mooney, giving no reasons for its
action. Justices Black and Reed, who
voted for a review when the case was
up in October, took no part in consid
ering the appeal to reconsider.
Despite the court's stand, Mooney
probably is closer to freedom than he
has been in 22 years. Culbert L. Olson,
governor-elect of California, has re
peated his campaign statement that he
would consider Mooney's application
for pardon in the light of his, Olson's,
expressed belief that Mooney was not
guilty of the crime for which he is
serving sentence, but "had been con
victed on perjured testimony and false
evidence."
