1 Am A German;
WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS)--
Dr. Ernst Meyer's attack on the
Nazi regime came as no surprise
to the German embassy, an of-
flcial stated today, because he
"belongs to the Jewish race, a
fact which has not prevented him
from swearing the oath of allegi-
ance to Adolf Hitler, nor from
working for over four years for
the National Socialist regime in
the Washington embassy, work
for which he accepted the pay of
the National Socialist govern-
ment."
To this, Dr. Meyer replied by
pointing out that "my parents
were born Christians and never
belonged to the Jewish faith.
There is some Jwish blood in my.
paternal ancestry, but not enough
to have disqualified me from gov-
ernment service, even under the
Nuremberg laws.
"I was born and brought up a
Christian and in Germany I was a
member of the Lutheran Church.
"There are many hundreds like
me still in the German govern-
ment service. They are loyally
devoted to their country and in
no way less German--or less Ar-
yan, whatever that may mean--
than Adoif Hitler, if the word
German implies loyalty to coun-
try, eagerness to prove such loy-
alty and readiness to serve Ger-
many."
resigned "s first secretary of the Ger-
man cml)assy in Washington, D. C.
Assailing the Nazi regime for hav-
ing "betrayed what I knew to be the
lasting interests of the German
fatherland," Dr. Meyer said:
"I couhl no longer conscientiously
serve a government which I saw to
be the foe of so many things I had
1)con taught Germany stands for. The
moral 1.w and loyalty to the true
Germany make surrender to National
Socialism impossible. I cannot do
otherwise, whether as a German or
as a Christian."
Dr. Meyer, who spoke at a dinner
given in his honor by the l?ederal
Council of Churches of Christ and the
Universal Christian Council of Life
and Work, made the first public de-
nunciation of the Hitler government
by a former mamher of the German
(liph)nmtic service.
Ill the course of his address, Dr.
Meyer said that Nazi anti-Semitism
and the myth of Nordic superiority
are among the anti-German charac-
teristics of N'tzism.
"It is the disgraceful opposite of
German and Nordic for the govern-
mcnt and ruling party of a state of
ahnost 70,000,000 inhabitants to drive
a helpless minority of less than
500,000 to destruction," he said.
"Nothing in this part of National
Socialist policy gives evidence of
moral or racial strength. If they
were racially and morally strong,
they could not have aroused the
lowest human instincts in the masses
and led in the performance of the

INDIANAPOLIS (W. N. S.)--
Any 'tttcmpt to organize a local

determined opposition of the Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
leaders of both organizations an-
nounced this week. The announce-

sure that leaflets in German and
English announcing an organization
meeting of the Bund for March 14

Chicago Meet

CHICAGO (W. N. S.)--A Nazi
meeting at the Germania Club broke

guages at Northwestern University.
The disturbance began immediately
after Wilhelm Kunze, organizer for
the German American Band, conc[n-
ded a speech. Professor Schrocter
was attacked by uniformed Band
members when he tried to question
Kunzc.
John Fisher and Ray Pauly, were
also assaulted when they refused to
give the Nazi salute. Emil Horitz,
one of ](unze's guards, was at'rested
on the coml)laint of a ncwsl)al)er
l)hotogral)her, who charged the Nazi
smashc(t his camera. Fisher and
Pauly, who were among those ILl'-
rested, filed a complaint ag'dnst

into the daily life of Palestinian Jew-
ry, Ral)bi Arnohl A. Lasker of Walt-

fore a Inter-Faith Conference on
Consumer's Cooperative.
"While American synagogues have
not followed the lead of churches in
cstal)lishing consumer cooperatives
under religious auspices in this coun-
try, the cooperative movement is
haste to the Jewish land settlements
Palestine where it has proved very
successful," Rabbi Lasker said.

Half Million Sought By
Hadassah To Buy Land
NEW YORK- Itadassah, the Wom-
en's Zionist Org.tnization of AInerica,
an(l Junior II'ulassah, will l)urchase
20,000 dun'ms (5,000 acres) of land in
Upper Galilee, Palestine, for the
Jewish National Fund, land-holding
• tgency in P'destinc, it was announced
this week in a statement signed 1)y
Dr. Israel Gohtstein, president of the
,lewish National Fund; Mrs. Moses P.
Epstein, president of Hadassah, and
Miss Nell Ziff, president of Julfior
H adassah.
Mrs. IIerman Shuhnan, chairnutn
of the Jewish National 1,'und Bnreau
of Hadassah, said that the senior and
junior divisions of Hadassah will ask
their 500 ch'q)ters throughout the
country--including units in Seattle
and Tacoma--to raise $500,000 for
the purchase of the Galilee area,
which is a portion of a 27,000-acre
tract in northern Palestine, bordering
the Syri.m frontier, that the Jewish
National Fun(l b(;pcs in time to ac-
quire.
Upper Galilee, which is sparsely
settled, consists of fertile phdns,
rolling hills and a range of mountains
at the Syrian border. Sixty per ccn
of the area, Mrs. Shulman pointed
out, is owned by Syrian landh)rds.
It has only one town, Safed, and a
number of scattered settlements.
In ancient times the territory was
densely dotted with Jewish villages,
of which one, Pekiin, reachable only
by horse or donkey, still survives.
IIadassah has contributed $400,000
Hard Problem:
Who Is Right?
NEW YORK (W. N. S.)--The de-
sirability of a separate organization
of Jewish teachers in New York's
public schools was debated pro and
con at the 11th anniversary hmch-
eon this week of the Jewish Teachers
Association 'ffter Borough President
Stanley M. Isaacs declared he saw
no reason for the existence of the or-
ganization. He expressed the hope
that "It will not be long before the
separate groups of Jewish, Catholic
and Protestant teachers will com-
bine."
Mr. Isaacs said that from the Jew-
ish point of view he felt "we arc not
a separate people."
Simon J. Jason, president of the
Association, took issue with Mr.
Isaacs, pointing out that the Asso-
ciation exists, to "improve the moral,
social and religious training of the
children. The Catholic and Protes-
tant teachers' associations have
equally high and nol)le motives.
"We are not concerned with poli-
tics. No nnc of these three groups
expects to use the idtuence of its
association other than for the good
of the community."

Make Pact In Canada
MONTREAL (W. N. S.)--The long
stauding dispute between the Cana-
(lian Jewish Congress and the B'nai
B'rith over which orgaIfization should
direct the work of combatting anti-
Semitism in Canada was finally
settled this week at a meeting of
rei)rescntatives of both groups.
A two-year agreement was reached
to conduct the anti-defamation pro-
gram in Canada under the name of
a new agency to be called the Joint
Public Rclatiolm Committee of the
Camtdian Jewish Congress and the
B'nai B'rith. Both agencies will
have seven lnenll)ers on the com-
mittee.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Jews of Algiers, in the 14th
Century, had to be severely rel)ri-
mandcd by the Aral) governor as
well as by their own rabl)i, Isaac
bar Shcshct, because together with
the native Arabs, they atteml)ted to
block Jewish immigration. Their
excuse was that they feared lu'ices
wouhl go up if a sudden intlux were
elLowc(t.
