Avowing his conviction that the world is becoming “more nationalistic,” Professor Morris R. Cohen, of City College, told 400 persons who attended a meeting of the Friends of German Refugees on board the S. S. Washington that “culture is international and the loss of one man’s opportunity in medicine in Germany is a loss to the world.”
Other speakers who included Dr. William Park, Harry Hershfield, Mrs. Ralph Howard Brodsky and Herman Bernstein, assailed the Nazi political program and pleaded for aid in behalf of the German refugees.
