Moley to Speak at Anti-hitler Rally at Garden

Raymond Moley, former member of President Roosevelt’s Braintrust’ as Under-Secretary of State, will break his silence on the opressive policy of the Hitler government for the first time in a public address which he will deliver on March 7, as one of the witnesses for American public opinion in the presentation of “The Case of Civilization Against Hitlerism,”at Madison Square Garden, according to announcement yesterday.

Professor Moley, a member of the faculty of Columbia University and editor of the magazine, Today, is regarded as one of the outstanding liberals in the United States and importance is attached to his views.

“The Case of Civilization Against Hitlerism” will be presented in connection with the first anniversary of the election to power of chancellor Hitler of Germany, under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress in cooperation with the American Federation of Labor, the Civic Liberties Union, the Women’s League for International Peace and Freedom, the Jewish War Veterans’ Association, and other liberal, anit-Nazi and Jewish groups.

MEETINGS CALLED

Much interest in the presentation has been evoked, particularly as a result of cuurent developments in Austria and the fear lest there be a repetition of Nazism in that country. Special meetings are being called throughout the week by local trade, fraternal and other organizations, to arrange for their membership to attend the presentation in a body. The cooperation of the synagegues, orthodox, conservative and reform, in this undertaking will express itself in the form of a special service on Friday evening, March 2, when the sermons will be devoted to “The Case of Civilization Against Hitlerism.”

Another outsanding representative of American public opinion who will take prat in the presentation is Senator Millard E. Tydings, of Marland. The liberal leader of the Senate, it is expected, will elicit from the audience at Madison Square Garden and the greater radio audience which will hear his address, vide support for a repudiation of the Hitler regime and its oppressive policy by representatives of the United States government. This, it is anticipated, will be in line with the bill which he introduced in the United States Senate calling upon the Senate to “express its earnest hope that the German Riech will speedily alter its policy, restore to its monority groups the civil and political rights of which they have been recently deprived and undo, so far as may be, the wrongs that have been them.”
