It is, in the main, a result of the developments in Germany since 1933, which reached a climax in 1938 when Naziism engulfed Austria and Czechoslovakia.

Many of these also contain large political, religious, and racial minorities, apt to be added eventually to the already vast total of men, women, and children who want desperately to get elsewhere . anywhere , , to save their lives.

He is author of The Native's Return, 1934, Grandsons, 1935, and My America, 1938. Copyright, 1939, by the Public Affairs Committee, Incorporated -A nonprofit, educational organization-
