Germany’s actions today and the warlike words of yesterday make it impossible for Europe and the rest of the world to take seriously her peace pronouncements, declared Professor Arnold J. Zurcher in a speech last night over Station WEVD. The speaker, a member of the Department of Political Science of New York University, discussed “Some International Aspects of Fascism.” The broadcast was under the auspices of the Foreign Affairs Forum.
Earlier in the evening. James Waterman Wise, editor of Opinion, broadcast an address over the same station on “The Nazi Assault on Freedom.” Declaring that the fate of the Jew in Germany is incidental in Hitlerism’s general determination to wipe out freedom of all groups at all costs, Mr. Wise called on all Jews to continue their struggle for “Jewish honor and freedom in Germany.”
“We must not forget,” he said, “that that struggle is a part of the broader battle to bring about economic and hence human emancipation for the masses of all people.” Mr. Wise spoke under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress.
