WORLD WIDE PROTESTS AT   HITLER ANTISEMITIC ACTS Manifestations Planned in Many Places Early Next Week—World War Veterans Parade By Albert W. Wilson   NEW YORK, Mar. 25, (AP)–Chancellor Hitler, whose assumption of dictatorial powers has at the same time burdened him with full responsibility for Germany’s welfare, has taken steps to make his long promised an- tisemitic measures at least as painless and ordely as possible.   But guarantees from berlin that any irresponsible ele- ment among his followers who commit violence will be dealt with severely and that “legal” rights of Jews will be safeguarded has not yet quieted the fears of Jews all over the world for their racial brethren.    Demonstrations of protest were being carried out or planned in many countries. Certain Jewish organizations in Germany deprecated reports in foreign countries of atro- cities.   In France, where government leaders have called Hitler’s activ- ities menacing, a committee has been organized under former Prem- ier Paul Painleve to aid victims or reported anti-semitic acts in ger- many. Two thousand Jews and Gentiles in London protested last night against alleged acts of the Hitler government. Jewish war vet- erans led a protest parade yester- day in New York City.   The Jewish war veterans called on posts in 85 cities in the United States to hold parades Monday, or as soon as possible thereafter. Civic leaders have promised to take part in a mass meeting Mon- day night in Madison Square Gar- den in new York and similar demonstrations are planned next Sunday and Monday in other cities in the United States and Canada. Manifestations   Dispatches from abroad say plans are being carried out for mani- festations in many countries simultaneously Monday. A report from Warsaw said Jews there would join in worldwide protests on that day in response to a re- quest by the Jewish Congress of America.   Jewish leaders will meet in Lon- don tomorrow to decide what ac- tion, if any, to take. But many Jewish merchants there already have started a boycott on German goods. jewish leaders in Amster- dam warned Dutch jews to refrain from any action that might “aggra- vate anti-semitic tendencies” in Germany.   The Federal Council of Churches in America, speaking for 22 Protestant denominations, protests Please Turn to Page Two

WORLD WIDE PROTESTS AT HITLER ACTS –Continued from First Page– through its executive committee against discrimination against Jews in Germany. Governors of Pennsylvania, Wyoming, South Carolina, Massachusetts and Maine sent messages of sympathy to the Jewish Congress here. GERMAN DENIAL     OF GENERAL OUTRAGES   BERLIN, Mar. 25, (AP)–Protec- tion of any man simply because he is a Jew will not be tolerated, said Capt. Hermann Goering, minister without portfolio, in an impassion- ed address today to foreign cor- respondents in which he pleaded for fairness in estimating the Ger- man situation.   He also expressed the opinion that Jews and Socialists abroad were rendering their German friends a poor service by making unfavorable reports on German conditions or by holding protest mass meetings   “Every German,” he said, “smiles when he learns that on next Mon- day prayer meetings will be held in America.   While admitting excesses during the first days of the German revo- lution, he claimed the government had adopted most stringent meas- ures, including the death penalty for further transgressions.   The many excesses, committed during the first days of the nation- al revolution, he said, must be at- tributed to provocators in brown shirts. (The brown shirt is a part of the uniform of the Nazi party.)   “There is not one person in all Germany from whom even one fin- gernail has been chopped off.” the minister declared.   “It is true that some storm troop- ers have terrible beaten up this one or that one, but you must re-

member the terrible bitterness that has prevailed among men who have been persecuted for ten years, This is humanly understandable if they took justice in their own hands.   “The world must be thankful to us, however, that we have establish- ed order so quickly.   “I will not ever stand for perse- cuting a man simply because he is a Jew.”
