ROOSEVELT MESSAGE TO JEWRY
President
(By Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent)
THE STATE OF EMERGENCY THROUGH- OUT BULGARIA REVEALS THE GRAVE SITUATION WITH WHICH M. FILOFF'S GOV- ERNMENT IS CONFRONTED; HAVING HIT- |CHED ITSELF TO THE AXIS CHARIOT IT FINDS ITSELF DRAGGED INTO COMPLETE AND ABJECT SUBSERVIENCE TO THE PO- LICY OF ITS POWERFUL TEAM MATES.

War Of Nerves
The Germans are naturally ex- ploiting this situation as part

Rabbi Wise said that of the 150,000,000 people captive to Hit- ler, only 6,000,000 were Jews but his assault on them was a smoke screen for a concerted attack on all institutions of Democracy and freedom.-Reuter.
