HITLER SEEKS JUSTIFICATION FOR CAMPAIGN P r i e * t’* Utterance* Attacked In Nazi Pre«* A* Proof Of ‘Menace’ BERUN, July 1®.—<VP>— The third reich strove Friday to justify Its dual campaign against Cathol icism and semitism on the grounds that the two were menacing Nazl ism Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler’s Vo efekischer Beobachter, supporting the order for vigorous enforcement of laws against “political Cath olicism,” gave front page display to alleged subersive utterances of Catholic priests. Headlines bore such phrases as: “Unheard of sermons.” “fresh pro vocation," and "hand in hand with Marxists ” 'Warning Lamed' With Naziism charging provoca tion from both sides, Julius St reich er’s “Stumer” warned of Jewish “provocateurs” and asserted: "He who falls for them is a traitor.” It warned, "doomsday will not fail to •ome." Nazi Jew-baiters turned their at tention to those they termed “slaves to Jews.” meaning Aryan pctrons of shops with Jewish pro prietors. New anti-Jewish outbreaks crop ped up in the northern district of th» city, where customers were re ported to have been chased down sice streets and manhandled. Although German Herman Wil helm Goering's anti-priest order, issued by the chief of Germanvs secret police after a conference with H tier in the Bavarian mountains, had been anticipated. It aroused great concern among Catholic here. Catholic circles asserted that Gen eral Goering had opened the door to extensive Nazi spying among Catholics, and that every priest would be reported to authorities If he seemed to say anything against the regime. Goering based his action on re peated assurances that Naziism constitutes a safe bulwark against bolshevism. Open Church Breech “The times have passed when the will and power of the state were insufficient to protect the chuich from the destructive influ ences of goodless movements,” he said. “Therefore the church has no reason whatever to maintain or to continue its political activities be yond its religious influences. “Neither can the church invoke gods to aid against the state—a monstrosity which we notice in open or hidden form every Sunday— nor can it organize its own politi cal power under the shabby pre tence that the church must defend it: elf aealnst the danger threaten ing from the state.” With hostilities having reached a point which Catholics interpreted as an open breach between their church and the government, priests .said thev would immediately exhort their flocks t° await the outcome of the annual conference of Aildxzr man-bishops at Fulda early in August.

Japan Makes Broad Hints on Stand In Italian Situation TOKYO. July 19. i/P»—'The news paper Nichi Nlchi reported Friday that the Japanese foreign office has attached particular importance to the Italc-Ethiopian crisis because it was a dispute between white and colored races. The foreign office spokesman as serted, however, that Japan's atti tude remained merely one of r "Watching with great concern " The vernacular press agreed that JAPAN BEGINS ‘WAR GAMES’ Empire to Teat Defense Against Attack From United States TOKYO. July 19.—fVPi—The navy 1 office announced Friday that the preliminary phases of the Japan ese navy's annual grand maneuvers will begin Saturday and will con tinue until early October. Although the announcement, the first official statement concerni% the war games, did not mention their locale, it was understood authoritatively that the final phase will be carried out in a wide area of the northwest Pacific between Japan proper and the Kurile Is lands. Authoritative sources said, how ever, that this phase beginning in late September and ending with major battle operations, would be confined to seas well to the west of the 180th meridian, «which for the most part coincides with the International date linei. Vernacular newspapers have in terpreted the war games as a test of the empire's defenses against any attack from the northeast Pa cific, stressing their significance in connection with the United States navy’s spring maneuvers in an Alaska-Hawaii-Califorma triangle. The Japanese maneuvers will be considered opened Saturday with the official formation of the three ! participating fleets. Admiral Prince Hirovasu Fushi mi. chief of the naval general staff, will be m supreme command of the games. _ Ambassador Sugimura exceeded his authority and misrepresented the Japanese government’s attitude when he informed Premier Benito Mussolini at Rome July 16 that Japan had no intention of interven ing in the dispute. The newspapers said the ambassa dor faced disciplinary action and possibly recall, and foreign office of ficials conceded that the ambassa dor to Rome “will be asked to re port further details to Tokyo to clear up the muddled situation. The foreign office spokesman in sisted. nevertheless, that there was no reason to recall the ambassador cr even to call his attention to his alleged infraction. “When the ambassador left Japan for Rome last October, newspapers were reporting that Italy was sus picious of Japan's alleged political ambitions in Ethiopia.” he said. “Sugimura was then authorized to dispel such suspicions in talks with Italian officials. We assume he acted under these instructions in his conversations with Mussolini." A group of Japanese ultra-patriots, calling themselves the “Ethiopian problem society.” telegraphed the Ethiopian foreign minister: “the Jap anese public earnestly hopes Ethio pia will firmly reject any proposal sacrificing the independence or vital interests of Ethiopia.

July 19.—(A^—A. • hands off policy regarding Presl oent Roosevelt’s New Deal was adopted by the American Bar as sociation as it neared the conclu sion of its 58th annual convention here Friday. A decision to defer until Novem ber. at least any expression on the New Deal was reached Thursday when the association approved w.thout comment the action of its executive committee suggesting the postponement of final considera tion of the report by a special com mittee named to determine the '‘ef fects of the New Deal on the rights and liberties of the American cit izens.” Neither the special committee nor the executive committee members would disclose whether the report praised or criticized the New Deal of President Roosevelt. Another subject which developed controversial elements, a report pertaining to the Hauptmann trial, also passed through the general session without alterations. A portion of the report as origin ally presented by the committee on cooperation between the press and the bar criticized attorneys for the defense and the prosecution stat ing they “took advantage of the situation and by personal inter views with the press and by talks over the radio, seemed wholly to disregard all of the accepted rules of dignity and ethics with which the profession and the courts have sought to surround the trial of a man for his life.** After general publication of the report. David T. Wllenta, attorney general of New Jersey, termed thei criticism “unjust, unwarranted and without basis of truth or fact The report, however, was neither approved nor rejected by the con ference of Bar association delegates to which It was made.
