Be Held ir Switzerland

) CHICAGO ~ ANP ~ Representatives of Christian and

Swish faiths age slated to mect
in Zurich, Switzerland, this winter along with social scientists,
educators and clergymen from
various parts of the world to
seek a solution to anti-Semitism
as a ~Christian problem.~

Revelation of the proposed
meeting came last week from
Dr. Herrry Noble MacCracken,
president-emeritus of Vassar
college, during a luncheon sponsored here by the Chicago Round
table of the National Conference
of Christians and Jews. Probable date of the Swiss world
racial confererrce will be in late
November, Dr. MacCracken disclosed, and is an outgrowth of
a. recent conference of Christians and Jews held at Oxford,
England.

During the meetimg, an attempt will be made to emphasize the thesis that ~anti-semilism is fundamentally not a
Jewish problem but -a Christjan one,~ the Vassar prexy said.
The Oxford meeting was primarily concerned with all minority problems but the Zurich
conferertce will deal almost en

A milestone in the development of interfaith accord wa:
reached during the Oxford
meeting, said Dr. Everett R.
Clinchy, president of the National, Confererree of Christians
and Jews, and it was the first
international, interfaith meeting
of its kind. A provisional council of Christiars and Jews was
established by the Oxford deleyates, with~ probable headquarters in Paris. ~

~Catholics, Protestans and
Jews all think of themselves as
minorities, ~ said Dr. Clinchy.
~Nevertheless all of our delegates, including Catholic priests
-~Protestant ministers and Jewish rabbis, were able to agree

said:

~The true Christian carmot be
anti-Semitic, and. true Christanity is itself ultimately destroyed if it indulges in Jewish persecution,~ the famous educator
said.

We will work on the theory
that anti-Semitism is a symptom
vf a Sick society rather than a
cause of it. We will treat antiSemitism as a sympton of mor

DEMOCRACY

By ELDER: BENNETT
| TOLEDO, Ohio~(APNS)~

to be move interested about the
welfare of foreign nations than
they are in their own country.
In other countries such as EngJand, Russia, South America,
China, and other nations, you
find they take more interest. in
the welfare of thir country
than the United States.

| They first take care of thei:

citizens, and we should do
like-wis?. In my articles I usually mention the country of

~Switzerland. Reently a young
man informed
me when he
was in Switzerland, that
there was just
on2 person who
was jailed. We
can~t say that.
The people in
Switzerland rum
their governmrent and not

~Elder | Bonnett the social class.

Yt held an interview with a
gentleman who was raised in
Switzerland. He informed me
that they: have laws there which
are for all citizens r2gardless
to race, color, rich or poor. The
courts are not bribed there. If
any person violates the law, he
or she has to pay the, penalty.
The Judges do not take any
type of bribe. ~They do not possess any smooth politicians or
lawyers to Smooth their crime
over, to let them off easy, or
perhaps let them become acquitted.

It would be of great help to
the United States for us to take
a pattern after their ideals. Our
country would: be 100 per cent
in a better condition than it is
at the present time.

How often does Switzerland
ask the United Statés or any
country for aid? Not. very often,
and perhaps not at all.

I had the pleasure of reading
ex-President George Washington farewell address. It was
wonderful. He put special emphasis on the Indian race to be
given their rights. His speech
was soon forgotterr by the large
p2rcent of the American people.

Also Honorable Abraham Lincoln~s Gettysburg Address was
soon forgotten. He made it plain
that he desired the Government

to run by the small click of a
certain social family, which usually has plenty. of Judas, Isacrots, holding office.

I would like to ask the publie since the FBI agents were
sent~- to Georgia to
~the Massacre lynching of thosz
colored men amd women who
were ambushed and killed by a
mob. They admit they have the
names of some of the men who
were in the murderous massacre. Why don~t they arrest thes?
outlaws. If they had been colored men they would have massacred them long time ago.

The Attorney General Tom
Clark is more interested in going to Europe than he is in
protecting the civil rights of
American citizens, especially the
Negro people. He is race prejudice, and should be impeached. If you put someone. in his
discharge his
sworn duty.

Negro soldiers went ard spill
~led their blood and died in the

European countries. Many were
wounded for life to protect men
like Clark and his family. Pevrhaps he has forgotten what the
Constitution amd the Bill of
Rights and also the Amendments

of the Constitution state. Every

official who fails to perform his
sworn duty should become impeached.

During these times there have
been many ways for p2ople to
mortgage their homes. In my

opinion this is inhumanly ~misj treating an individual and de
priving them of life, liberty and

| the pursuit of happiness.

The Home Loan is a smooth
way to receive people~s proper
| ty. Paul said ~No extortioners

can inherit the Kingdom of
God.~ The bible doesn~t teach
you to take your brother~s bed
from him or any other propcrty, if he cant pay for it. This
Is, no -~ part of democratic
government.

To some of you men who
are heads of these bans, mprtgage corporations. how would
you like ~to have thes2 poor pe)ple taken from their homes and

TOCKDALuU
Roswell. Pierce Biggers oi

when Eddy came through with
another terrific left hook and a
right cross. McQuillar collapsed
to th2 ropes and had to be aided to his corner.

Another outstandimg fight of
the evening was the fight of
Clem Custer of Detroit who surprised the~ fight promoters by
winning a very decisive decision
over Johnny Gaudes of Milwaukee. It is our opinion that Gaudes
was to built up for a chartce at
Jock. but being that Custer defeated Gaudes, it blocks his
chances:of a main ~vent with
Jock. We are wondering. why
Clem Custer don~t get a chance
at Jock, it would be a very good
fight.

The batth ot Snorty Jones

and Ralph Chappy was one of
the best ~entertaining of the
evening which kept the crowd
laughing. With his deadly haymakers, whieh won him the
bout,; Shorty Jon2s was really
a sensation.
