JEWISH COUNCIL ON MINORI TIES RIGHTS SUBMITS MEMO RANDUM TO LEAOUE Petitions International Rod} on Procedure Now l nder Advisement Paris (J. T. A.)—A petition to the League of Nations setting forth what iH described as the Jewish point of view in the question of changing the procedure with regard to the sub mission of national minorities peti tions, now under advisement, was sub mitted by the Jewish Council on Mi norities' Rights, the organization cre ated at the Zurich conference called under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress two years ago. The memorandum describes the situation of the Jewish minorities in Eastern Europe and stresses the point that, the minority rights have been made a part of the international peace treaties so that by virtue of these treaties the Jewish minorities in East ern Europe have been placed under the protection of the League of Nations. The rights of the minorities guaran teed in these treaties are the safety of life and property, the promulga tion of appropriate nationality laws, the guarantee of equal economic rights, an appropriate school system and the use of the native language. The minorities, experience has shown, must have recourse to the League ot Nations in cases of extreme urgency only, a procedure adhered to hitherto by the Jewish Council on Minorities' Rights. Unfortunately, the memoran dum points out, the present procedure renders useless any application to the league of Nations because of the de lays and the complications involved. The memorandum submits the fol lowing suggestions for changes: L To give the right of petition to minorities who arc represented by their deputies in the respective parlia ments or by central organizations. 2. To give the right of petition in behalf of the minorities to large in ternational organizations. •L That the League of Nations make public the replies of the respec tive governments and admits counter replies.
