vates the world economic crisis,” the Nazi chief asserted.
Just before he left for London to preside over the International Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi Conference, Samuel Untermyer issued a statement Friday evening, citing League of Nations sanction of the boycott as a peacetime weapon.
“We expect to demonstrate to the world,” he said, “that the boycott, which is expressly prescribed by the Covenant of the League of Nations under the name of ‘economic sanctions’ but unfortunately never invoked, is a constructive, peaceful and effective substitute for war and one that can be successfully enforced against a nation that persists in defying and outraging everything for which civilization has stood over the centuries and that has branded itself as an outcast and pariah among nations.
“Incidentally, the boycott has resulted in this and other countries in the establishment of new home industries, and in the home manufacture of hundreds of articles of merchandise that were formerly imported from Germany. Our research bureau has a list that has been furnished our State Department of hundreds of such articles now made, in addition to which it has stimulated and increased many existing industries.”
Mr. Untermyer expects to return within eighteen days he said, since the conference is not likely to last more than three days. Other American delegates are Dr. Paul Hutchinson of Chicago, managing editor of the Christian Century; Protestant publication; James Beamish of Philadelphia, former Secretary of State of Pennsylvania and prominent participant in Catholic affairs; Mrs. W. G. McAdoo Jr., daughter-in-law of Senator McAdoo, and Miss Dorothy Feron of California, both Catholics; and Mrs. Mark Harris, active in women’s organizations.
