Hyman and Scyril Schochen received the other prizes; League Experts Propose New Bureau for German Refugees GEN ICVA (WNS-Palcor , Agency) — The, establishment of an antoiioninns oHice of the League of Nations to deal with the serious problem of the German refugees, the creation of an inlernation- ally recognized status for,refugees from the Third Reich and the provision for the liquidation and transfer of the cap¬ ital and property of those emigrating from Germany were proposed by the League of Nations Experts Commission in a lengthy rc^iort on'the solution of the vexing problem of the German refu¬ gees.. In the repor.t, which is to be pub¬ lished in. conjunction with the next meet¬ ing of' the League of Nations Coiihcll which- convenes oti. January 20, l!)3(i. the itxpcrts Commission unahiiiiouBly concludes that a successful, solution of the refugee problem will be impossible without the close co-operation cff all countries belonging to the League. The Experts Commission drew up its pro¬ posals on the situation of tlie Gern-ian .refugees- following ;many interviews and open conferences with leaders of the foremost. Jewish relief and settlement agencies. Viewing the prospect of an, increasing ei.iiigratiqn ¦ froni Germany with appre¬ hension, tbc League Experts pointed out that there, were' possibilities for settle¬ ment in Palestine and some parts of South America but,that these ,were de-'' pendent upoii-arrangements for the liq¬ uidation and transfer of the capital-aiid property of the German Jews'i The ExiJcrts recommended that, an aiitbnonibus section of the Nanson Office be organized to/care for German refu¬ gees e.xelusively. An alternative proposal ur;j;ed. the. establishiiicut of a! ¦ separate ofliCc with its own 'High Commissioner. The Italian .Expert voted against this plrin, insisting that-the transfer.and re¬ lief for refugees be turned over to prir vate charily .organizations outside the jurisdiction of the. League. Emiihasizing the special duty of the countries of oHgin cif the. refugees- in elTcctively coping with the problem of transferring thchi to other countricF, the League .Experts pointed out that it was. essential to, establish an iniernatioually recognized status for the refugees from Germany in order to guarantee them the rights of, residence-and employment. A final decision on the proposals of, the Experts Cpnunission is not expected to, be- made by the League. Council before September,, 1030,, when the'. Assehibly meets.' However; a provisional'program will be adopted liext January that will probably appoint a: High Conimissioner for. German Refugees to wpi'k-with the help of ¦the League Secretariat, It is understood that the- September Assembly will' definitely" establish the office: of a separate High Commissioner for the German refugees. ¦ : ,, Mahoney Charges Nazi and Questionable Delegates Beat Non-Participation MoveInA.A.U.

In the conflicts of policies and/of^ po¬ litical systems which tht world witnesses today, the United States: has held foi-th Abr its own guidance and for the guid¬ ance of other nations, if they will/ac¬ cept it, this great torch ot liberty,^ of Iiunian thought,: liberty pt, conscience.

Rather thcougl'i every means legitimately within our power and our olhce we will seek to Increase that light that its rays may extend the further; that its glory may he seen from afar. Every indication of the sanctity of these rights at home, every prayer that other nations may accept them, is an Indica' tion of how virile, how living thty are in the heart of every true American.'

On each of the seven succe.eding nights one additional candle-will be lighted—two on the second, three on the third—untilthe eighth liight the"Jews will .Iiave,completed the observ¬ ance of Planukkab—the Feast of;,Lights, It is a tribute, to a man whose heroism restored their tijmplc to the Jewish peo pic and gave the world an increased ap prcciatiori of the ¦ principle of religious liberty. ' ¦ '.¦ This man .Is Judgh; Maccabeus,, leader of the band of ardent Jews, who dared oppose the tyranny :of the'Syrian mon¬ arch, Antiochus Epiphaiies, ^ and thus blazed the way for a victory-, riot of war and conquest, but of religious freedom and brotherhood. In this noble deed the Jews of all coiin- tries and of all ages rejoice. In the syna¬ gogue, in the religious school,.and in the home, the entire family, participates iu the joyous celebrations. Children listen with dblight as parents and teachers tell the story of Judah Maccabeus, a scion of the priestly /flasmoncan family, who with his father Mattathias and his four brothers, redeemed 'the Temple, of Israel from idolatroiis hands. The Syrian .king^—idol vv6r.shipper at the altar of "Zens," had caused. a pagan altar to be set up in the.Temple of the Jews,, defiling the sanctuary of God. The Jews rebelled; and under the, inspired leadership of tliq Maccabees made their rebellion both a spiritual and a martial success.: Three years later, to the day, Judah .Maccabeus recaptured the telnplc, piirified it, and rededicated it in its former state of purity and hoHness to the worship of G\>d. For eight days the Jews observed the ceremony of rededication. Legend says that only one small cruse of lioly oil was available for tlie Temple, for all the rest had been seized by^ sacrilegious hand-s. This hit of oil was enough to illuminate the lamps during the entire ceremony while more was''.being prepared'. The cliildren of the household assist In lighting the tapers, each night and in reciting the traditional Hanukkah bene¬ diction ovet^ them. Gifts, are cxclianged, programs and plays are given and the spirit of juyousness prevails everywhere. In the synagogue service the reading of the Scriptures ¦ coincides with, the theme of, the festival, notably the stirring verse from the prophet Zechariah which has been the sustaining strength of Israel- through the' centuries'; "Not by might, nur by ppvi'er, but by. My spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.". brutal, tmjustifinblc persecutions and dis¬ criminations that have been so incontro- , verlihly established againit tlic Nazi gov- "^ eminent," and declared th^it "t feel that ' the A: A.

Ten members of , the Committee failed to attend tlic meet-; ; ing held imnicdi.ately after tlie.A, A.

In the repor.t, which is to be pub¬ lished in. conjunction with the next meet¬ ing of' the League of Nations Coiihcll which- convenes oti. January 20, l!)3(i. the itxpcrts Commission unahiiiiouBly concludes that a successful, solution of the refugee problem will be impossible without the close co-operation cff all countries belonging to the League. The Experts Commission drew up its pro¬ posals on the situation of tlie Gern-ian .refugees- following ;many interviews and open conferences with leaders of the foremost. Jewish relief and settlement agencies. Viewing the prospect of an, increasing ei.iiigratiqn ¦ froni Germany with appre¬ hension, tbc League Experts pointed out that there, were' possibilities for settle¬ ment in Palestine and some parts of South America but,that these ,were de-'' pendent upoii-arrangements for the liq¬ uidation and transfer of the capital-aiid property of the German Jews'i The ExiJcrts recommended that, an aiitbnonibus section of the Nanson Office be organized to/care for German refu¬ gees e.xelusively. An alternative proposal ur;j;ed. the. establishiiicut of a! ¦ separate ofliCc with its own 'High Commissioner. The Italian .Expert voted against this plrin, insisting that-the transfer.and re¬ lief for refugees be turned over to prir vate charily .organizations outside the jurisdiction of the. League. Emiihasizing the special duty of the countries of oHgin cif the. refugees- in elTcctively coping with the problem of transferring thchi to other countricF, the League .Experts pointed out that it was. essential to, establish an iniernatioually recognized status for the refugees from Germany in order to guarantee them the rights of, residence-and employment. A final decision on the proposals of, the Experts Cpnunission is not expected to, be- made by the League. Council before September,, 1030,, when the'. Assehibly meets.' However; a provisional'program will be adopted liext January that will probably appoint a: High Conimissioner for. German Refugees to wpi'k-with the help of ¦the League Secretariat, It is understood that the- September Assembly will' definitely" establish the office: of a separate High Commissioner for the German refugees. ¦ : ,, Mahoney Charges Nazi and Questionable Delegates Beat Non-Participation MoveInA.A.U.

' ¦ '.¦ This man .Is Judgh; Maccabeus,, leader of the band of ardent Jews, who dared oppose the tyranny :of the'Syrian mon¬ arch, Antiochus Epiphaiies, ^ and thus blazed the way for a victory-, riot of war and conquest, but of religious freedom and brotherhood. In this noble deed the Jews of all coiin- tries and of all ages rejoice. In the syna¬ gogue, in the religious school,.and in the home, the entire family, participates iu the joyous celebrations. Children listen with dblight as parents and teachers tell the story of Judah Maccabeus, a scion of the priestly /flasmoncan family, who with his father Mattathias and his four brothers, redeemed 'the Temple, of Israel from idolatroiis hands. The Syrian .king^—idol vv6r.shipper at the altar of "Zens," had caused. a pagan altar to be set up in the.Temple of the Jews,, defiling the sanctuary of God. The Jews rebelled; and under the, inspired leadership of tliq Maccabees made their rebellion both a spiritual and a martial success.: Three years later, to the day, Judah .Maccabeus recaptured the telnplc, piirified it, and rededicated it in its former state of purity and hoHness to the worship of G\>d. For eight days the Jews observed the ceremony of rededication. Legend says that only one small cruse of lioly oil was available for tlie Temple, for all the rest had been seized by^ sacrilegious hand-s. This hit of oil was enough to illuminate the lamps during the entire ceremony while more was''.being prepared'.
