To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
A recent cable from Germany reported the visit which Adolf Hitler paid to his friend, Julius Streicher, on the occasion of the latter’s fiftieth birthday anniversary and the gist of the congratulatory tribute which the “Reichsfuehrer” has voiced at that particular occasion. To those who are familiar with the record and activities of Herr Julius Streicher, the official visit of the head of the German state to Herr Streicher must be taken as an expression of approval and encouragement of Herr Streicher’s ruthless, unscrupulous and poisonous campaign of calumny and persecution against the Jewish people.
I consider this incident a more dangerous assault upon and insult to the Jewish people than the first Nazi atrocities perpetrated in the period of the so-called National Revolution. Hitler’s last visit to Streicher should put to rest all the unfounded rumors of a pending new deal for the Jews of Germany. Nothing of the kind is to be expected from Adolf Hitler as far as his attitude and treatment of the German Jews is concerned. He has made beaux gestures to Poland, to France and to Italy, but his hatred and persecution of the Jewish people has rather intensified than relaxed.

THE KASHRUTH ASS’N
To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
In last Friday’s issue of the Bulletin there appeared a report of the Convention of the Kashruth Association. In the interests of accuracy permit me to make several corrections to that report.
The report stated that Rabbi Ebin was deposed from his position of President and Treasurer of the Association. The word deposed has specific connotation which does not apply in this instance. Rabbi Ebin submitted a report of the Association’s activities during the period of his stewardship and it was received with a unanimous vote of thanks. His relinquishement of office was due merely to the fact that a new plan of organization was decided upon in which there is no provision for a permanent President over the Organization.
Your account further stated that the deposition of Rabbi Ebin was affected by a “Faction with the backing of Rosalsky.” That is not an exact presentation of the facts. Judge Rosalsky’s interest in the entire matter was to affect a reorganization which would be to the satisfaction of the greatest part of the New York Rabbinate and which would make of the Kashruth Association an effective agency for the supervision of the Poultry markets. The backing of one individual or group as against another did not at all enter into the entire question.
