NEW FLIGHT OF JEWS
BEGINS FROM
GERMANY
Ciech Jewry lx Hailing a Signal
Victory Over the Nazi* In
Thl* Country
Prague <WN8> — The flight of
Jews from Germany was never be
fore on extensive as It is now,
according to reports from refugees
arriving here. Every train cross
ing the Czech border brings its
quota of Jewish refugees. Official
ly, these refugees are coming to
Prague to spend Passover, but in
reality they have left Germany for
good because the new wave of Na
zi persecution makes life for Jews
Impossible in Germany.
Czech Jewry is hailing a signal
victory over the Nazis in this coun
try. The German-controlled Prague
University has officially rescinded
its recent decision to establish the
Aryan law in its medical clinic.
Tills action was taken following the
protest of the liberal press which
prompted the municipal health au
thorities to divert all its clinic cases
from the German Institution. Al
though the Aryan law has been
dropped the Jewish physicians who
were dismissed from the clinic have
not yet been reinstated.

Deducted 2,800 Certifi
cates, Report Declares
Jerusalem (WNS —Palcor Agen
cy) — That the Palestine Govern
ment deducted a total of 2.800 cer
tificates on account of tourists who
are alleged to be settling illegally
In the country was revealed in a
report to the Palcor Agency, which
conducted a survey of the condi
tions under which the Government
granted to the Jewish Agency for
Palestine the labor immigration
schedule for the six-month period
ending In October. A total of eight
thousand labor certificates was
granted for the period beginning
April 1st, as has been pr^iously
announced, representing an in
crease of five hundred over the
previous six-month schedule; 7,700
certificates will be administered by
the Jewish Agency for Palestine;
four hundred are held In reserve
by the Palestine Government, In
accordance with Its usual practice,
which will be given directly to in
dividual applicants. The previous
six-month schedule gave the Jew
ish Agency 7,050 certificates and
the Government retained 450 in
the reserve.
The Palcor Agency is informed
that the Palestine Government told
the Jewish Agency Executive that
It estimates the absorptive capaci
ty of the country for the six-
months ending October, 1935, at
10.800 laborers. Of this number,
2.800 were deducted on account of
tourists settling unauthorizedly as
Immigrants and for students from
abroad who enter the labor market
on the termination of their studies.
The Government estimated the ab
sorptive capacity of the previous 6
months at 9,700, of which it deduct
ed 2,200 on account of tourists set
tling Illegally. The Government
has informed the Jewish Agency
Executive, it Is reported that if it
ascertains that the number of un
authorized settlers will be below Its
estimate for the coming 6 months,
an appropriate number of labor
certificates will be added to the
schedule now granted. The Gov
ernment’s estimate of the absorp
tive capacity for the period ending
March, 1935, represented fifty-two
per cent of the Jewish Agency's
calculation. The present estimate
Is fifty-six per cent. The progres
sion of recent immigration sched
ules shows 5,500 for the winter of
1933, 6,800 for the summer of 1934,
7,500 for the winter of 1934, and
8,000 currently. It is understood
that the Jewish Agency regards
this gradual increase as indaequate
and as lagging behind the actual
needs of Palestine.

Anti-Jewish Propaganda
Conducted In Palestine
Jerusalem (WNS — Palcor Agen
cy)—From time to time, anti-Jew-
ish slogans written in Arabic and
German, and embellished with the
swastika, appear on vacant walls
and boardings in different Pales
tine towns, enjoining a boycott of
Jewish goods and enterprises. Their
effect has been nil except to leave
a great deal of annoyance among
young and ardent Jews, who en
deavor to trace the perpetrators of
such nuisances. According to well-
informed local quarters, the origin
of these throwaways is in a central
Nazi propaganda agent for Pales
tine who it is believed, works
through Arab Fascists. An attempt
at Fascism was started some eigh
teen months ago as ‘‘the only hope
of Arab salvation in the present
state of the Arab nationalist cause,”
as one young leader said. The ob
ject was to introduce an ultra-na
tionalistic spirit among the Arab
youth. But it was more closely
modelled on the National-Socialist
brand of Fascism than the Italian,
because the German politics em
bodied anti-Semitism as the cen
tral motive.
The majority of the pseudo-Fas-
cists of Palestine is thought to be
drawn from Christian Arab youth
and their "boss” Is Issa A1 Bandak,
editor of a Bethlehem newspaper,
who is credited some two years ago
with an article seeking a transfer
of the British Mandate for Pales
tine to Germany because, as he
said, this country has shown its
alertness to the ‘‘Jewish menace”
and could be relied upon to effect
similar "justice against the Jews”
in the Holy Land! But he forgot
to add that according to the Nazi
racial theory, Arabs are just as
non-Aryan and Semitic as the
Jews. Although Arab Fascists have
not been heard of as a political
force since the original efforts to
launch a party, local observers
think that a few of their number
are working secretly at anti-Jewish
propaganda of a virulent kind, such
as is manifested in the swastika-
signed exhortations.
