ANOTHER BLOW AT HITLER
Mr. F. La Guardia, Mayor of New York, in a recent speech declaring Britain was honour bound not to go back on the promise to Jews implicit in the Balfour Declaration, digressed for a brief attack on Adolf Hitler reminiscent of his much-discussed "Chamber of Horrors" speech on March 3, 1937. Although the Mayor, addressing 4000 Zionists and sympathisers at a meeting in Mecca Temple, Fifty-fifth Street, did not mention the German Chancellor bj name, few, if any, in the audience understood the reference any other way when the speaker declared: "Frankly, I've refrained from expressing my feelings. It has been difficult the last few days. I didn't want anybody to be able to say that La Guardia made some provocative statement—l have in the past. As I have stated so many times, Secretary Hull and I have an agreement. He attends to foreign affairs and I attend to cleanirfg the streets of New York. And when it concerns the relations with a certain gentleman in Europe, we're both dealing with the same commodity."
