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 s
Digest
By FLOYD J. 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.
