Arthur Garfield Hays, who just returned from Germany where he observed the trial of the five men accused of firing the Reichstag, speaking last night at the Temple Society of Concord, said that the human race is imperiled by the policien of the Hiterlites.
“It is not a new social order, but an old one, that Hitler today advances,” he said. “Instead of promising the people a new liberty, it threatens them with an old tyranny-the same tyranny that oppressed their ancestors hundreds of years ago.
“Whith all its economic faults, democracy is the only government I believe in, for it assures human liberty and human rights.
We must co-operate with all the Zionists of America and with James G. McDonald, High Commissioner for Jewish refugees appointed by the League of Nations, and make every effort to open the doors of Palestine for further settlement of Jews.”
