The statement in part follows: “Mr. Ford's fallacious that ‘we are not anti-Semitic’ must contemplate, on his part, collossal credulity on the part of the Americun public “It i@ contradicted by the countless charges he has made against the Jew and which he was making at the very izations have emitism Cardinat presented it also. have had the protest against anti signed by Presiden Witson, O'Connell and others been to him he would have signed Admittedly, Mr. Ford would signed it. “Justification that the persecution of the Jew Is to promote world peace does not mitigate Mr_ Ford's offence against American democracy in the least whit. Puzzled Over Contradictions But the chief trouble in Mr. Ford's interview lies in the fact that he sent it broadcast simultaneously with the appearace of Dearborn Independent on the same date. While with his left hand Mr. Ford was beguiling the public with a spacious plea of friend- ship for the Jew, with his right hand he was attacking the Jew. Verily the gentleman does not believe in getting his right Band know what his left hand is doing. “Was Ford #ncere when he said through the public press TFebruary 12: ‘We are mot anti-Semitis.’ If we could answer aflirmatively then as a matter of eourse we must conclude that he was deliberately provocative when he said in his Dearborn Inde- pendent the very day: 'If the Presi- dent of the United States or the Gov- ernor of vour state should make a specifically Christtan allusion in his Thanksgiving proclamation or men- tion the name of Christ that act would be protested as offensive to Jewish sensitiveness.’ “Mr. Ford must know this is un- true.

Then why the statement uttered the very same day in his Dearborn Inde- pendent that the Jew possessed solelyv the Oriental mind and that ‘American life is fare and meagre to the East ern mind. It is not sensuous enouth. It is ‘devold of intrigue. Its women of the homes do not play continuous- ly and hysterically upon the sex mo- tive. It is a life made good and du able by interior qualities of faith and quietness, and these of course are death to the Orientally minded.’ Tdeals of the American Jew. ““This, too, nbtwithstanding the con- ception of sacredness held by the Jew for home life and notwithstanding also that there are hundreds of thotw- sands of American born Jews 10 whom Ameriagn ideals and American standards ncc vy guide and their watc v 1 “Mr. Ford is no Are such insinuations as merely ox- pressions of his love for the Jew ana shonld they call forth from the Jew praise and thanksgiving? “If Mr. Ford's purpose is to wake up ‘Boob Gentiles,' as he charges In his February 12 statement to the puh- lic therefore why the charge in his Dearborn Independent of Februncy 1 that the Civil war in the United States was the work of Jews?

She was the eldest of three daughters, onc of whom, Mrs, Au- usta Vibberts, survives her. She was married in the to Mr. Chamberlain, noted in the Civil w and @oman of nence in this state and city.

Her friends knew she had great reserve strength and they @gaw it assert itself as she met her sorrow and assumed her respon- sibility children during the critical of their lives. How well she met this responsibility is shown in the stronz men and women her children have proved to be. She was injured ago by fall, from which health began,- whieh progressed she W confirmed invalid the later vears of her life. The word that comes most to mind when thinking of her is the word mother It was not alone in service tor her little ones that this was mani- fest. but also in companionship fellowship with them in their later ear: Her cvenings with them in v and reading are hallowed mer.- ories to those who experienced them. The Sunday night home gatherings of the family and their friends, for fellowship and song, hecame moted for their influence upon many. She loved work, and labor was no affliction to her, and when that la- a decline until bor was service to others, she entered i into her real joy of life. Mrs. Chamberlain was a woman in body and spirit, and her poise and dignity and service were those of true womanhood. Her mem- ory becomes sacred to those who knew her and hér bereaved has the sympathy of the whole city. The funeral will bhe at her home at 3 o'clock tomorrow.
