Both the paper i d Schreiber have appealed the verdict a higher court Shreiher asked the government’s press hict whether it was permissible for the minister of justice to agitate against the It-wish community which is recognized v the constitution. This is an elemen- ary rule which Hueber should have known from his student days, Shreiber laintained. Thereupon! Shreiber was re- imanded and the court declined to con sider his proof of Hueber’s anti-Semitism, laitiling that it had no bearing on the barge against the Allgemeinc Zeitung. 1 Hiring the recent pre-election cam- Hucber stumped the Austrian untry side to deliver anti-Semitic -perches. ♦ * ♦ London.—The negotiations between the Jewish Agency and the British government will henceforth be carried it by a sub-committee. Authority to frame the text of an agreement upon which both sides can agree has been transferred to this committee. The sub- ommittce consists of representatives f the government and of the Jewish \gency. Its final draft will be approved by e original negotiators presided over v Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson. * * * Berlin.—The Jewish National Coun cil of Palestine is criticized by the irdische Rundschau, organ of the Let-man Zionists, for the failure of its hairman, Pinchas Rutenberg, to par ticipate in the negotiations between the Jewish Agency and the British gov- nment. Asking why Professor Felix I rankfurter is not taking part in the conversations, the Rundschau asks merican Zionists and the Revisionists ioin the political commission or else Chaim Weizmann will be com- led to relinquish responsibility for •hat commission. * * * Jerusalem.—One Jewish farmer was hired and five Bedouins were ar- ■ 'ted at Kfar Ychoshua near Nahalal 1 ntlv after a group of Bedouins had arked Jewish farmers in the fields. • >f the Bedouins told the poilce he believed the White Paper had land to those without it and the Jews were not entitled to land. * * * nisalem.—Mount Ararat, where s ar k came to rest after the de- had ended, is changing hands, it is *ed today. The Persian government rstood to have agreed to the inclu- : Mount Ararat in Turkish terri- ii exchange for a strip of Turkish n Jhe southern frontier. This step cquel to the recent Kurdish insur- :i in that region where the rebels refuge on Persian soil. Berlin.—The Prussian Diet this after noon was the scene of vigorous anti- Semitic attacks by National Socialist deputies in connection with a motion to censure the Socialist premier, Otto Braun, and the minister of the interior, Dr. Carl Severing, for permitting the showing of the now prohibited American picture, ‘‘All Quiet on the Western Front.” The Hitlerite deputy, M. Schwech, abused Girl Leammle, the American pro ducer of the picture, as ‘‘a Hungarian Jew who utilized German heroism for Jewish-American business,” alleging that the dialogue of the film contains a pas sage describing death for the Fatherland as “filthy.” The left wing deputies, on the other hand, maintained that Laemmle was a non-Jewish Gcrman-American. The debate culminated with a statement by the Jewish deputy, M. Kuttner, who charged that Paul Goebbels, leader in the agitation against the film, had remained at home while his Jewish classmates had gone to war. This effectively silenced the National Socialist deputies who then turned their oratorical batters on the UFA producer who arranged the German version of the picture. + * * Moscow—A new kind of Yevsectzia, or Jewish section of the Communist Party, is to be established in White Rus sia, according to an order issued today by the praesidium of the White Russian central executive committee. The order calls for the organization of national minority committees at the local Soviets of Minsk, Vitebsk, Homcl and forty other townships. Each committee is to consist of seven members with a paid secretary. The chairman of the committee must be identi cal with the president of the local Soviet. The committee’s functions will be to en lighten the local Soviets on cultural and economic needs of the national minorities thus controlling the existence of the national minorities. While the Jews of White Russia are being told that this is an important step to aid them they nevertheless fear that it means the return of the Yevsectzia. This fear is based on the fact that these national minority committees are not to be created in Ukrainia and Central Rus sia where the Jewish Communists do not play so important a role and are thus unable to influence their respective central executive committees to return them to power. The original Yevsectzia was liquidated last February by the central committee of the Communist Party and Communist work among the Jews was turned over to special instructors named by the central committee. The abolition of the Yev- sectiza was hailed as a great step in re lieving the Jewish economic situation in the Soviet Union. The Yevsectzia was regarded by the official Soviet leaders as the special representative of the Jewish masses and it was largely responsible for the perscution of the Jewish religion, the Hebrew language and Zionist activities.
