? A OF EIG H TNazi Victory Would MeanSlavery9Rabbi DeclaresRev. Rabbi Henry P. Silverman spiritual header of the Jewish Com-munity, broadcast Friday over the Jamaica Broadcasting Station, on the subjfct Nazism—the Attack on Civilisation.’* He said:My friends of the Radio Audience:Nazism stands for tyranny, assassination of political adversai ics the suppression of religious freedom. and the enslavement of all liberty of both thought and action.We must never forget that recourse to ford# is and has long been a familwr method in Berlin, regardless of the Government in power. This h the third time.within living memory, that Germany has declared war in Europe. Hitler was as determined to plunge the world into this conflagration on September 1st last, as Bismarck was determined in 1870. The Nazi leader offered no kind of peace save his own untrammelled dominance.Nazism has persecuted Christian, ity and Judaism. Protestantism, which has been the State Church of the German Realm (or centuries, sees its age-t id trampled under foot to oe ;by the Nazi ideology p:pastors like Niemoller hav imprisoned.AIM TO PAGANIZEThe Roman Catholic Church sees m Nazism an attempt at the pagan-lzation of Germany, and through Germany of the whole world. The Cardinal Primate ot Poland recently sent a detailed account to the Vatican of German atrocities in his martyrised country. The murder ol a nation is revealed in mass executions. wholesale pillage, women carried off into slavery, families broken up and intellectuals herded into concentration camps. The Cardinal gives incident*, details and names. Here are a few' items taken at random from his report:“In prison thrrp is incrediblelseveraltenetsplacedestantbeencruelty. There were some victims who went insane.”“The Polish population is bar-borously persecuted. The number of executions amounts to thousands. Those in prison amount to tens of thousands.”“The Germans are tramping onevery liberty of conscience and religious right of the population.” The Germans shot fifteen Priests in the Archdiocese of Gnieznowhose names are listed in the report . ”It is a terrible story of the rum of a conquered country. Tire lesson is clear and unmistakable A victorious Germany would impose destruction and desolation on those within her power. A Europe dominated by Germany means a Europe in which non-Germans would be vassals. France and the British Empire would share the doom of Czechoslovakia and Poland. That is why we must make every sacrifice for victory. Each of us can truly echo the words of Ixtrd Halifax when he stated: I have no hesitation at all in saying that I would a hundred time-, sooner be dead than live in a world under the heel of Nazi dominance.”The most virulent persecutionhas been directed against theJewish people. The Hitler regime iias succeeded in rendering over half a million Jews in Germany outcasts in their native land, pariahs in a country in which their ancestors have lived for sixteen centuries, contributing down the generations to every phase of art and science in the onward marc!of civilisation.HITLER SPEAKS*A work entitled Hitler Speaks ’ was published two months ago by Hermann Rauachntng He was theformer President of the Danzig Senate and was in the confidence oi Hitler. The book is based on ■ .tes of intimate conversations with the German Fuehrer betw'een 1932 and 1934 In these conversations vvith Rauschmng, Hitler declares that his agents could cripple the Jnited States of America by revo-ition, split France in two and then onquer the British Empire by way i{ attacks through the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden. “The day of small states is over,” he de-lared. In another passage in the book he say^. “I am willing to sign anything ” I am ready to stick at nothing . . . dominion is founded on crime . . . conscience is a Jewish invention are some of his uhorums.One can readily see that the pre-ent German regime scorns the codes and canons of civilization, Nazism is a battle cry against Liberty. Hitler and all things for which Hitler stands, must be and will be destroyed The struggle nay be a long one but we shall triumph.Kipling's winged words in 1914 must irresistibly come to our mindsov\:liesourgoalNo easy hopes or Shall bring u» to But Iron sacrifice Of Bod*.
