War Scare Hovers Over Europe— Again European troubles have dominated the headlines. Again the imminent possibility of war has obscured all other news. In view of most of the experts tho week ending September 3rd, was the most ominous since the grim days of 1914 that preceded , tho World War. As usual, Hitler madu biggest news. Tens of thou sands of German troops were mov ed. into the Siegfried chain of for. tifications, which faces the famous French Maginot line—supposedly the most impregnable border de fense e'er erected. According to tho formal German press reports,' this simply marked ordinary ma-‘ neuvers, and in no way indicated , that the Reich was planning mili tary action against anyone. But tho fact still remains that it was done as a prelude to the Nazi party at Nurnberg—and Hitler has often called party Congresses whenever he plannd a move of exceptional daring. And the fact also remains that tho German go vemment-controlled press has a gain been carrying on a virulent j campaign against Czechoslovakia. The Czechs are in exceedingly bad position—and every indication hold.-, that their position will get worse, rather than better. The Czech government, headed by Ed ward Benes, often called “Euro pe’s greatest little statesman" has offered significant concessions to the Sudeten German minority as in the country headed by Konrad Henlein, whom almost every for eign correspondent regards as a Hitler tool. These concessions would give the Sudeten Germans a scmi.autonomous government of their own, largely based ort the Swiss Canton principle: would re organize their school system, so that Nazi dogma would be taught ir. Sudeten Czechs schools; would ■ - ■■ ----- in i n • *— ■ .. .... to a great extent withdraw the regular Czech police from the Su deten area, anil would give Su deten Germans more government jobs. It is astonishing that any government would offer so much to a minority which is determined t j effect its eventual overthrow. Yet it was not enough, in the view of Hitler. Hcnlein called on the Fuhrer and was sent home with a new series of demands. The exact terms of these have not been pub lished at this writing, but it is believed they entail further con cessions whch would make a large part of Czechoslovakia virtually a vassal state under German con trol. In all this, Hitler unquestionab ly has the edge—both France and England are desperately eager to a'oid war, at almost any cost. On the Other side, however, the Eng lish government has been showing a somewhat more aggressive ntti. tudo than it has in the past par tially some say, because it has been stung to the quick by foreign criticism, much of it American in origin, and also because there is a growing British movement to force the Chamberlain government either to resign or to take a firm or line In addition, Britain has made great progress in developing her air defense system in the Inst year or two, and is unquestion ably in much better shape to risk a war than she was even a com paratively short time ago. However, Britain’s desire to ef fect some sort of peace, however transitory, is still strong. It is this fact which makes Hit ler believe that an aggressive at titudo on Germany’s part wll cause France and Britain to bring suffi cient pressure against Czechoslo_ vakia to force t.ht. concession of almost any demands made by the Sudeten Germany Minority. And tho fact that Hitler's bluffs have succeded so 'kill in the past natu rally gives him courage and con fidence in the present crisis. Russia, which holds the balance of power in Europe, ig saying lit tle.Sho is Czech ally—and she po sessesses a gigantic war machine which is probably superior in most branches to Germany’s. But she is faced with many domestic pro blems of her own, and a major war would make it necessary for Stalin to forego many cherished plans for internal development. Germany seems to figure that the bear will stay on the sidelines—| and some unprejudiced authorities think Germany is right. In the meantime, France is mo bilizing, and is sending troops in to position along her German bor* * der. Britain is carrying on naval maneuvers. Th0 Czechs have calL ed reserves to. the colors and ar» apparently ready to fight. Any | thing can happen.

CALVIN Listed by EDITOR & PUBLISHER Plight of Jew s We are sorry to note the trou ble which the Jews of Europe art having, particularly those in Ger many, and now in Italy. For some time we have notei a tendency in this country to dis cuss the relative position and re lationship of Jews and Negroes i It nows appears that some Negrt i leaders feel that Jews are not ai sympathetic and helpful towart | tho Negro group as they might be. .Jews, especially in tho mer I chandising field, where they are very powerful, are charged with not giving Negroes enough econo, mic opportunity. While there is much truth in this assertion, it must be remem bered that Jews in America are influenced in their attitute toward Negroes by the mores of the do minant group, which is the white American group. Jew might be sympathetic, but being classed as white, they dare not show too much friendliness for fear of los ing caste on their own account. Of course this places the Ameri can Jew in an almost untenable position. On the one hand he wants the sympathy and tolerance of the Negro, and the petty mean nesses, in spite of his own white skin; and on the other hand he must hold himself aloof from, and • even is tempted to practice pre | judices against, and to thoroughly exploit, commercially, the Negro, because the Jewish upper class is acepted by upper class Americans (mainly for financial reasons.) Negroes who feel the pain of Jewish economic indifference are prone to gleefully sanction Jewish persecution in distant lands. Our views is that it is never right to sanction persecution no matter against whom it is practiced. Our differences with Jews here, we think, may be nmicahly settled without condoning either Hitler or Mussohni’t intolerance. Presidential Tolerance Those who had expected to see President Roosevelt squirm when Father Divine bought an estate at Krum Elbow on the Hudson across the river from the nncestrial home of the Chief Executive, were sadly disappointed when the ever cheer ful Leader announced, with a colo red boy among his guests, tha{ he was sure the people across the ri ver in the next county, meaning th0 Divineties, would continue to bo good neighbors |o the people of his county. In many sections of the coun ! try, North and South, Negroes arc 1 boldly run out when they move near enough to be noticed by theii white neighbors. It remained foi the President of the United States to welcome Negroes a* his neigh bors. A very fine example for th( i rest of the country and {he res of the world. Policy Racket There is a certain glamour a bout the policy (“numbers”) rac ket, not to mention the potential! I ties for cash, which makes it, i j not entirely acceptable, at leas not vigorously condemned by som of |ho so.called “better elements of the community. While We hav i always thought gambling only I curse, still we recognize that it i | a human failing, and at best can only bo curbed—never completely sfampted out. But with the sensa tional expose of the rackets of New York, it is revealed that some people deliberately go in for or ganized crime and vice because of its possible large und quick re wards, and the few are even laud ed as being “smart” and “clever.” Some people feel it is no more P. disgrace {o play the rackets than go on relief, if other can stay off by playing the rackets they are justified. Thig is a ques tion that can be answered or de cided only by {he moral training of tho individual. It is hoped, how ever, that the teachers of morals will redouble their efforts rather than slacken their pace, in spi{o of the alluring examples contrary to their teachings. -0 FIFTH LYNCHING REPORTED FROM PERRY, FLORIDA New York, Sept. 22—From Tal lahassee, Fla., has come confirm ation of the lynching in Perry, Fla., on August 9, 1938, of Otis Price, 22.
