Warning against the “rising tide of anti-Semitism in this country” was voiced today by Heywood Broun, noted journalist whose N.Y. World Telegram column, “It Seems to Me,” is syndicated in newspapers throughout the United States. Declaring that Hitler’s leadership “has already hurt America in a very tangible way,” Mr. Broun said in his column: “Fascist diplomatic triumphs abroad have opened the way to promote a rising tide of anti-Semitism in this country. This is a foreign product which we should shut out. Tell your Congressman about it.”
