FOREIGN NEWS
Budapest.—During the past ten years
1,107 Hungarian Jews who had been
converted to Christianity re-entered
the Jewish fold. They were persuaded
to re-enter Judaism mainly through the
efforts of Rabbi Dr. Sigmund Grosz-
tnann of the Budapest Jewish Kultus-
gemeinde. During the years following
the war many Jews, under the stress
of a bitter anti-Semitism which was
then raging in Hungary, embraced
Christianity. As soon, however, as
anti-Semitic propaganda began to
abate, many of them regretted their
step and decided to return to Judaism.
Moscow.—Failure to collect the crops
from the Jewish fields after the har
vest is responsible for the difficult
situation in the Jewish agricultural
districts, particularly in the Kalinin-
'■orl region, the Ernes, organ of the
Moscow Jewish Communists, com
plains. The failure to collect the crops
is due to a lack of organization and
discipline as well as to disinterest and
criminal negligence, the Ernes charges.
While only a few days remain for
the winter seeding the summer harvest
is still on the fields unthreshed and
rotting, much to the dissatisfaction of
the Ukrainian district land commissa
riat who has drawn the attention of
the Kalinindorf Jewish authorities to
the state of affairs. The Ernes also
complains that there are an insuffi
cient number of workers on the land.
Baltimore, Md.—A statement recom
mending a five-day week in industry
and an "intelligent attitude toward
birth control” has been adopted by
the Commission on Social Justice of
the Central Conference of American
Rabbis, the Commission’s chairman,
Rabbi Edward L. Israel, has announced.
The statement was read in synagogues
throughout the country in the period
between Kosli Hashanah and Yom
Kippur.
London.—The bar on Jewish immi
gration into Palestine will soon be
lifted, Foreign Minister Henderson is
understood to have told members of
the Permanent Mandates Commission
of the League of Nations. Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, President of the Jewish
Agency, is • discussing the Palestine
situation with Lord Passfield, Colonial
Secretary, as it is expected that the
new British policy with regard to Pal
estine will be announced when Par
liament reconvenes late this month.
DR. JALMAR SCHACHT, former
president of the Deutsche Reichsbank,
who is now in this country, stated that
German Jewry need not be disturbed by
the recent election of Adolf Hitler, and
added that German Jewry is in no danger
whatsoever.

Obviously the Democratic Party has
opportunities this year better than
ever before. It has all the evidence to
reprove the Republicans for their bogey
of the "full dinner pail”. But there
have been other times in America’s
history when conditions have been
similar and the Democrats have not
profited thereby politically. But this
year Charles Michelson is at the helm.
He has put fear into the hearts of
Republicans, courage into the hearts of
Democrats, and admiration into the
hearts of all who respect Herculean
achievements. The political history of
the United States is changing. Charles
Michels6n, more than any other single
person, is responsible for the change.

(Continued from Page 15)
the contract betwees the Freiburg Pas
sion Players and the Organized Bible
Class Association had been cancelled,
after Rabbi Abram Simon, leader of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation, had
protested against the presentation of the
play on the ground that it might create
ill-will between Jew and Christian.
Rabbi Simon appeared before the Com
mittee of the Organized Bible Class As
sociation which was sponsoring the pre
sentation of the Passion Play in the
capital and stated his viewpoint. The
committee, which consisted of the Rev.
Dr. Homer J. Councilor and Mr. Page
McK. Etchison, listened very earnestly
to his plea. As a result the committee
annulled its agreement with Adolph
Fassnacht, owner of the Freiburg Passion
Play.
