Nazi Blast at Morgan Berlin. J.T.A.) Although it is well known everywhere else in the world that J. P. Morgan is a pure Aryan, the Nazi press printed blasting articles condemning him, not only as a Jew, but even as "the sun-crowned Jew king." The Nazis are angry at the American financier because of his anti-German statements made recently in the United States. Replying to Mr.

Morgan's statements criticizing Germany, the Prussian Press Department of the Nazi party circulated an article written by Wilhelm Berger, Reichstag member, condemning him as a Jew. made theatrical history in so many countries, would find a greater range of expression and thrive better in its own national cultural home? The Habima is a striking example of what Jewish histrionic talent can accomplish in its natural sphere. I am not certain whether the achievements of the Habima could be emulated in the Diaspora without the Hebrew language as a medium of expression. I think that a Jewish Arts Theatre in each country where there is a sufficient number of Jews represents a satisfactory solution of the problem, or at least a first step towards a satisfactory solution. In such a theatre plays of Jewish life and character could be performed, in the language of the country, by Jewish casts.

No doubt, particularly at the outset, it would be very difficult to establish and maintain such theatres. In the first place, there would probably be a great deal of outside antagonism to be overcome in some countries. The supply of plays would present another difficultv. in addition to which there tence. Framed with diabolical cunning, they strike out in every direc-tionj.

into every avenue of occupation in which Jews may have sought livelihoods prior to April 1 of this year. 'Reichsgesetz blatt' No. 42, issued April 25, defining the law concerning the admission of physicians -to the National Health Insurance, provides that the work of those of non-Aryan descent in this field must cease and that further admissions of such physicians in this practice is forbidden. Since many of the older Jewish physicians and nearly all of the younger ones earned nine-tenths of their income from this practice, the devastating effect of this decree becomes apparent; This decree contains the proviso, that the association of 'panel' doctors must on July 1 declare 'finished' the professional work of all physicians who cannot qualify according to the new rules. One of these rules is that no physician of non-Aryan descent shall be deemed as having taken part in the World War, and therefore, as exempt from the prohibiting law, unless they can prove either that they fought at the front or rendered services in a fever hos By MAX REINHARDT Max Reinhardt, Germany's greatest theatrical producer, was com- -pelled by the Hitler actions against Jews in Germany to leave both his post in Berlin and the country which, up to the rise of the Nazis, had shown appreciation of his gifts in the theatre.

JEWISH ORPHAN HOME The arrangements for the picnic to be held by the Milwaukee Jewish Orphan Home at DeWirth's Grove on Highway 55, known as the Fond du-Lac road, at the intersection of the county trunk to be held on Sunday, July 16, were completed at the regular meeting of the board of directors last Monday evening. Announcement tickets were mailed out to a number of members, the regular admission tickets being for sale at the gate only. Through the solicitation of Sam Rosen, several of the Milwaukee breweries and beer distributors offered to donate all the beer required for sale at the picnic. Through solicitation of Mr. Rosen and Nathan Stein several of the Jewish commission merchants offered to donate the fruit and produce required to be sold at the picnic.

A truck load will be picked up under their supervision on Saturday afternoon. For the accommodation of those who are compelled to take street car conveyance, trucks of the Sunshine Dairy company will leave as early as 10 a. m. at the corner of Fond du Lac avenue and Thirty-fifth street to convey the visitors from the end of the street car line to the picnic grounds. The picnic will be in charge of the following: Frank Grossman, chair DECLARE ALL JEWS POGROM IS MORE VIOLENT (Continued from Page 1) For two thousand years we have been accustomed to lavish our cultural gifts of other people, adapting them, in each country, to the national ideals, or to the racial, mental and moral peculiarities of that country.

The committee in Germany, he added, is known as the Zentrallausschuss fuer Hilfe und Af-bau and is headed by Rabbi Leo Baeck. How Funds Are Used The funds that are being sent abroad, he said, are used for five major purposes: one to enable a large number of Jews in Germany who will have to remain in that country to rebuild their lives, their work and occupations; two to house, feed and clothe thousands of business men, employees, working men and others who are without any means of support at the present moment; three to help maintain Jewish institutions of welfare from which government subventions have been withdrawn; four to provide an adequate system of schooling for Jewish youth who are now without an opportunity of obtaining education; five to provide aid for the thousands of Jews who are forced to migrate from that country.

"American Jewry is making a splendid response to the appeal which has been issued by the Joint Distribution Committee, and from hundreds of communities come reports of additional committees being organized to make substantial additions to the sum already raised," Rabbi Wise said. has been influenced by the ideals and protested. But when Germany dismissed a single Jewish lawyer, the entire Jewish world raises anti-German propaganda the world over." New impetus has been given anti-Semitic war here by a series of developments in the past few weeks, striking at the Jews from many directions. "Boycott Jewish Firms" Among these developments are the recommendation to non-Jewish firms, made in a strong appeal to them, to place their orders with Aryan travelling salesmen and boycott Jewish travellers in order to carry out the slogan, "Germans buy only from Germans." Members of the Nazi Party have pital at the front. Even the 'saving clause' that persons in the public service since 1914 may remain at their posts, has been changed, in an order recently issued by the Ministry of the Interior, to apply only if they have been in office interruptedly since that date, and have served with dis- tinction.

"It is decrees, rules and interpretations such as these, each of a minor character in itself which in the aggregate constitute the strongest in would be minor technical problems to be solved. But with courage, both physical and moral, and with that specifically Jewish brand of enthusiasm which is really concentrated optimism, every obstacle can be overcome and every goal attained These are difficult times for Jewry. But if we look back through our long history we shall find that the flame of Jewish genius has always burned more brightly, and the Jewish spirit has always willed with greater determination in times of great crisis, and I have no doubt that it will be so again. Rightly led, Jewish youth will not fail to achieve a Jewish cultural renaissance.

I think that this great movement ought to be launched by Anglo-Jewry. During my recent visit to Oxford I have been struck with the physical and mental freshness of British youth as much as with their fairness of outlook. In a country whose youth comes up to the best ideals of youth a Jewish cultural renaissance by Jewish youth should have every chance of success. the culture of the various nations who have been our hosts throughout all these long centuries. That has made it very difficult for us to revive our own Jewish culture, to achieve a sort of cultural self-con-tainedness or even to define sufficiently closely what Jewish culture is.

I hasten to say that I am not advocating cultural isolation. That would be a calamity to us, as well as to the civilized nations to whose culture we are proud to have contributed and who appreciate our contributions. What I do advocate is a Jewish cultural renaissance in which Jewish achievements in the fields of literature, art, music, and the drama should bear the unmistakable hall mark of their Jewishness and in which Jewish genius should not be compelled to assume the disguise of another nationality. I am convinced that such a renaissance would stimulate us to ever higher attainments and would also benefit the rest of the world, perhaps to a far greater extent than at present. Who, for instance, can doubt that Jewish historionic talent, which has been ordered not only to boycott Jewish shops, but also Jewish cafes and restaurants and places patronized by strumentality of the 'cold pogrom' against which the Jews of Germany are so.

utterly helpless, and which will destroy them unless we act with the utmost promptness in relieving the distress into which they have been plunged. It is, therefore, my earnest hope that generous as has been the response thus far, there will be even greater sacrifices by the Jews ef the United States to swell the total of the German Relief Fund." "But fast as the fund grows, and fast as similar funds are being raised in other lands, the area of human devastation grows even more rapidly.

Mass expulsion of Jewish students from the universities is made possible by the instructions of the Prussian Minister of Education to expel not only members of the Communist Party but also anyone suspected of being in sympathy with Communism. Since it is not necessary to prove the allegation of communist sympathies, the mere fact that the charge is made is sufficient to bring about expulsion. The Voelkische Beobachter, newspaper owned by Adolf Hitler, has renewed violent anti-Semitic agitation after several weeks of chafing at the restraint imposed by the supreme Nazi councils. saw FNl LM Jl 8 t3 142 COLLEGE HEADS IN D.

APPEAL TO GERMAN EDUCATORS (Continued from Pare 1) many as of eyery other nation will best be served by a friendly policy toward all minorities.

Tietz Stores Taken Away From Jewish Management by Tax Assessment Trick Berlin. (J.T.A.) Leonard Tietz Company, owning ten department stores in western Germany, with a capitalization at 23,000,000 Marks, will henceforth carry the, name of "Western Germany Department Stores, formerly Tietz Company," according to a unanimous decision at a meeting of shareholders held at Cologne. Herr Tietz's name will not appear on the buildings housing his department stores. None of the members of the Tietz family was re-elected to the administration at the shareholders' conference. Herr Alfred Tietz, together with a Nazi official, was appointed an advisor.

The manner in which the government gained control of the Tietz stores was to impose a high tax on the busienss wihch the owners were unable to meet. This gave the Nazis the legal excuse to step in and take over the business. The tax has since been reduced. safe emsmigldf njujiefi eraeagfe tfir the bMy off a qpaloiiy cair GnEse MEET Jl 0 Why is it that every 12-cy Under and 16-cylin- mmmmmmmmmmmm. lipBllilllllt -A i The trouble with steel alone is that it stands just so much shock and punishment.

V'- THE MANISCHEWITZ FOUNDATION The inspiration of the late Rabbi Behr Manischewitz's teachings has guided the Manischewitz Foundation in the perpetuation of its most treasured legacy the heritage of Hebrew Ethics. It has been the particular purpose of the Manischewitz Foundation to encourage the wide dissemination of traditional Jewish teachings. Toward this end the Foundation has sought to bring recognition to distinguished achievements, which reflect honor and glory on its people.

The Manischewitz Plaque is one of the instruments through which such recognition is made for conspicuous service to the Jewish Community. It is manifestly fitting therefore, that the Manischewitz Fine Arts award should be presented to Isaac Van Grove for his imaginative conception of Israel's contribution to the culture of the world the pageant, "The Romance of A People." It is at once a saga of the people eternal and a masterful interpretation of the indomitable spirit which has been its motivating force. In this, the very essence of the culture that is Irael, Isaac Van Grove has blended a symphony of color and musical rhythm, and has infused it Tvith the spirit of a living entity thereby focusing widespread interest on Hebrew lore and enriching it immeasurably.
