New \ ork—Samuel Untermver, presi- dent of the American League for Defense of Jewish Right-*, refused to attend the 90th anniversary dinner of the B’nai B rith, at which he wa-» to be the prin cipal speaker, because of an article in the November is--ue of the B’nai B’rith Magazine opposing the anti-German boy cott. The article, written by Joseph Her- bach, had been reprinted from the Roches ter Jewish Ledger. In a statement made at the dinner by Harold Korn, executive chairman of the celebration committee, it wa-« pointed out that the B’nai B’rith Magazine was an open forum which published articles on both sides of all question! and that B’nai B’rith had left its members free to act on the boycott as they saw fit. Vienna—A friendly warning that an anti-Semitic policy in Austria would mean forfeiting American sympathy was issued by United States Minister George H. Earle in a statement to newspaper men on his return from a visit of all the Austrian provinces. Mr. Earle said that while “it is up to Austrians themselves to decide on their politics, it is the pre rogative of Americans to give their sym pathy to those who deserve it. And it is not very likely that sympathy will be found in America for any country in which such persecutions on racial and religious grounds prevail." Pointing out that he had been assured there was po litically no anti-Semitism anywhere in Austria except Vienna, the American min ister asserted that “ninety-five per cent of all Americans are either fugitives from persecution or descendants from people who crossed the ocean because of relig ious or racial persecution. They cannot cooperate sympathetically with a country where people are persecuted on account of birth." Pleasure at Mr. Earle's re marks was expressed by the foreign office which pointed out that Chancellor Dolfuss was in the midst of efforts to suppress those who advocate ruthless treatment of Jews. Jerusalem—Announcement of a British commission of inquiry headed by Sir William Morrison to investigate the be havior of the police during the recent Arab riots, a sharp protest by the Jewish Agency Executive against the Palestine government’s immigration policy, strin gent measures by the government against illegal Jewish immigration and a protest against Jewish immigration by a delega tion of Arab mayors that called on High t ommissioner Wauchope are the latest developments in the Palestine situation. After its political chairman had conferred with the High Commissioner, the Jewish Agency Executive issued a statement in which it declared that the Palestine gov ernment was ignoring the economic ab sorptive capacity of the country in setting immigration quotas, expressed apprehen sion over the measures to be taken with regard to Jewish tourists and complainrd that many non-Jews enter the country without authority, I*he Jewish Agency also complained that the new policy vio lated Premier MacDonald's promise to Dr. Chaim Weizmann in 1931, who was assured that every facilitation would be given for Jewish immigration as a posi tive obligation of the Mandate. The statement further asserted that whereas Mr. MacDonald had said that even tem porary prospects of employment would be considered a valid reason for Jewish im migration and Arab unemployment would not be reckoned as militating against such immigration, the High Commis sioner told the delegation of Arab mayors that he calculated the possibilities of fu ture unemployment as well a* the present situation and considered Arab unemploy ment in fixing Jewish immigration quotas. After meeting with the Arab mayors, High Commissioner Wauchope issued a communique outlining nine measures to l>e taken to prevent unauthorized Jewish immigration. 'ITiese are fines, imprison ment and deportation, limitation of entry to the ports of Haifa and Jaffa for third and fourth class immigrants from Amer ica and Europe, and refusal of visas to holders of Nansen and other temporary passports. Capitalist settlers will be re quired to have £1,000; tourists must put a guarantee of $300 and show return tickets and will be prosecuted if they fail to leave when their visas expire. New York—Alfred E. Smith, writing in the November issue of the “New Outlook," of which he is editor, urges the admission of a limited number of refugees from the Nazi regime to the United States. Mr. Smith says that “many of these Ger mans are people of superior education and great ability who, if intelligently dis tributed over the country, will be an in- (Please turn to next page) HITS THE SMOKE SPOT El More Cigars THE WORLD S GREATEST 5c CIGARS JOHN T.
