JEWS . . . . . outrageous
Xot-hing has aroused so much
indignation throughout the Chris
tian world as the outrageous treat
ment of the Jews by the Nazi gov
ernment* of Germany. Cnlike prev
ious anti-Jewish movements, the
excuse that Jews are enemies of
the church is not put forward now
The Hitler government's atti:?ide
toward Christians, both Catholic
and Piul>atl, (s alV?st as out
rageous as U^sMjirode toward
, What ',>riflfiflHr of Germany
is afraii o( religion.
No dictatorship can survive so
long as religious ideals are preach
ed to its people. For the essential
teaching of all religion is that* of
revenence for and allegiance to
God first. A government which
rules by force must command the
only allegiances of its people, or
sooner or later they will rise in
revolt and overthrow Uie dictator
by force.
That is why Hitler and his gang
have outlawed all religions whose
ministers are not willing to teach
their people subservience to Naii
ism. They have gone back to tfce
pagan teachings of primitive limes
and set up the mythology of an
cient days, which was based on
force and conquest, as the only re
ligion which good German sub
jects should believe in.
Mussolini has not gone ifcat far
in Italy. He still gives lip-service
to the Church to which practically
all Italians adhere. But he. like
Hitler, has begun a campaign of
persecution against t-he Jrws. over
the Pope's protests.

PERSECUTION' . . . money
The ronuns were persecuting
the Jews hundreds OfVyears before
the Emperor Constantine estab
lished Christianity as the Roman
religion in the year 312. The mo
tive behind those early persecu
tions was the same as that behind
Hitler's now.
Jews have always been the
smartest traders and best money
makers in the world. A govern
ment in need of money could out
law the Jews and replenish its
treasury by taking their money
away from them.
There were Jewish traders in
what is now Germany ? ancient
Gaul ? in the time of Julius Cae
sar. They had almost a monopoly
in international trade for more
than a thousand years.
When the Roman church for
bade Christians to take interest
for loans the Jews became the
chief money-lenderi of Europe
That made them unpopular with
the people, but very useful to the
-.rulers, who had a pleasant way of
permitting them to live in a coun
try until they had accumulated
enough treasure U) be worth steal
ing. then confiscating their prop
erty and banishing the Jews.
The laws against land-owning
by Jews were to force them to
keep their wealth in portable form
so that it would be easy for the
government to confiscate. They
'were compelled to live in restrict
ed sections, and that in itself' kept
them from becoming active in
public affairs and limited rtieir so
cial contacts to their own people.
They were thus set off as a race
apart, and it was easy for a dema
gogic ruier jo stir up popular feel
ing against t-be Jews on the exeuse
that they were enemies of Chris
tianity.
CHRISTIANITY . . . hatr.-?l
The Christian church carries a
heavy responsibility, as I see it.
for the terrible situation in which
the Jews of Continental Europe
find themselves today.
We owe our religion itself to
the Jews. The Christian Bible, ex
cept' for the New Testament, is
the ancient Jewish scripture. All
of the Christian cojcepts of mo
rality, the teachings embodied in
the Ten Commandments, are held
by Jews as well as by Christians.
The only important difference
is the question whether Jesus
Christ was actually the Messiah
whose coming the Jews prophe
sied.
He was born a Jew. His disci
ples were Jews. The congrega
tions who listened to His preach
ings were Jews. The most impor
tant- part of the teaching of Jesns
was that all men are brothers, un
der the fatherhood of God. None
can call himself a good Christian
who does not hold to that teach
ing.

preachers have led their people
into hatred of Jews as a people,
and many who haTe nqt actively
taught religious hatred have re
mained silent while their ignor
ant followers have tort?ired. rpb
bed and murdered Jews merely
because they were Jews.
It is not surprising that in the
countries where jfee Church con
trolled the State for a thousand
years a public psychology of Jew
hating has persisted among the
ignorant and superstitious masses.

RKH'tiK (rmluu
Today the civilized world is try
ing to And a permanent refuge for
;4ie oppressed Jews of Europe.
There is not room enough for
them in Palestine and not enough
means of s?lf-support.
An international commission, in
which the I'nited State* is repre
sented. is considering locations in
South America. South Africa and
elsewhere, spots where there is
sufficient undeveloped territory to
provide a pioneering livelihood for
a million or more Jewish refugees
from Germany. Italy and- other
European countries.
The chances are that no Jews
will be permitted to take any of
their wealth out of those coun
tries. It will be confiscated by the
rulers, as rulers have been confis
cating Jewish wealth for two
thousand years.
Jews and Christians of the free
nations, and their governments,
are expected to contribute to the
cos? of setting up this unhappy
people in a new land where they
will be free from oppression
It is quite possible that our
great-grandchildren may see a
new Jewish nation taking its
place among the great powers of
the world.
