returns to Germany. (Although the Europa arrives in New York the same day as the Belgenland, Professor Einstein took the Belgenland because the latter goes right through to California which is his destination—editor’s note.)
ATTACKED AS PROPAGANDIST
On the other hand the National German-Jewish Union, a small group of extreme nationalist and anti-Zionist Jews who are not represented on the council of the Berlin Jewish community, headed by Max Naumann, protested against Professor Einstein’s using his world fame as a scientist for “propagating Zionism.”
Protesting against his recent speech in London, which was broadcast over an international hookup, the Union criticizes Dr. Einstein for favoring maintenance of the culture traditions and consolidation of the Jewish people. “We German-feeling Jews protest against Einstein’s stimulating Jewish nationalism. Our duty as Germans is to declare openly that this Einstein talk is objectionable to us,” the Union declares.
