BUDAPEST (WNS)—Thc bill to limit Jewish participation in trade, industry, culture and pro¬ fessions to 20 per cent is essential in order to break "a stranglehold over the entiro Hungarian econo¬ mic lifo" obtained by tho Jews, tho Hungarian govemment declar¬ ed in an official statement explain¬ ing the numerous clausus measurO novr awaiting action in Parliament. Describing the bill as a measure "for more elTectivo maintenance of the social and economic balance of the country" and ¦ offering in support a detailed statistical an¬ alysis of tho economic and social status of the Christian and Jew¬ ish populations nnd tho territor¬ ial distribution of the Jewish popu¬ lation, the government's statement declared that "this rapidly grow¬ ing section of the population has, during the last 90 years, gradu¬ ally obtained a stranglehold over the entire Hungarian economic life and occupied tho most important posts." Claiming that the Jewish popu¬ lation has increased fivefold sincfii 1848 and asserting that while the living standard of the Jews not only suffered no decline but oven improved, the living standard of tho Christian population declined greatly and has been pushed back in spirituaf, economic and social spheres since the end of the war, the statement' emphasized that it is "the urgent duty" of the gov¬ ernment to solve this problem radi¬ cally in order to restore "the disturbed equilibrium" and to pro¬ vide jobs "for Christian youth and lessure the sons of Hungarian peas¬ antry a chance for betterment of then: social standing." At tho same time the Budapest: municipal council adopted a regu¬ lation which limits the proportion of public works contracts to be awarded to Jews. Vigorous oppoo sition was voiced by several coun^ cilloKrtnrtPtho only'ch'ange iHC^ original proposal was an ament? ment suggested by Vice-Mayor ^rl Lnmotte providing that the regulation is to be enforced only when required by govemment order. DECATUR, ILL. (W N S) — Christians in thi-? town were uiged to contubuto to tho Joint Distri¬ bution Committee in a letter ad- dicsscd to nil diurch members by E. J. MulVley, president of tho Dccntiir Chuich Council, after he ,md Dr. Edwaid S. Boyer, profes- •jor of lellgion at Millikcn Univer¬ sity, hnd appealed voluntarily at the opening meeting of the local JDC campaign. Dr. Boyer toldf thc meeting that tho Jews were en- tiicly too reticent in calling upon others for help for their people. Tho letter of tho Ch\iich Council s<iid tlmt tho Jews "aro not ask¬ ing the Chiislinns for help" but "have submissively accepted their lol and have gone to work to mako the boat of it. In this they re¬ mind ns of a Jew, who, 2,000 years ago, meekly accepted His place on the cioss. We, as Christians, cannot accept this heroic philoso¬ phy. As long as tho lives of hu¬ mon beings nre at stake Christians mubt feel a responsibility." t isher in istori W Britain To Ask League Aid For Austrian Refugees Paper Asks Pope To Lead World Crusade DK. S. H, GOLDENSON BELGRADE (WNS)—Special patrols have been established at the Yugoslavia-Austrian frontier to prevent Jewisb refugees from Austria from entering Yugoslavia without Bpecinl permits. BOSTON (WNS)—A plea to Pope Pius XI to take tho lead in issuing "the call which will-unite as allies Catholics, Protestants and Jews in combatting the spread of dangerous ideologies," ia made in a front page editorial in tho cur¬ rent issue of the Boston Jewish Advocate. Asserting that Catho¬ lics and Jews "today particularly bear the brunt of the onslaught on the rights of the individual and of the group" in dictator nations, tho editorial states that "the Jews of the world stand ready to Join with any force which will arise to lead our civilization back to sane thinking, ' A great figure is needed as a rallying point around which mny gather all elements of religion, faith and democracy." The Pope, the editorial says, is such a leader, and he is urged to "speak out to tho world in protest and condemnation, and rally the faithful of tho Eoman Catholie Church to an unyielding and open opposition to tyrannical dictator¬ ships, whether nnder the red flag or brown. Issue a call fdr united action by all lovers of peace and good will among men. Ast 'the members of your great Church to preach from every pulpit the mes¬ sage of toleiance and brotherhood and neighborliness which the foun¬ der of Christianity preached." Discrimination May Be Largely Overcome Says Dr. Levinger "The artificial barriers of dis¬ crimination against thc Jews in employment may be largely over¬ come, not by a frontal attack, but by finding other, and better Ways in which to accomplish one's am¬ bition .in a valuable and worthy occupation," according to Dr. Lee J. Levinger, director of research of the B'nai B'rith Vocational Service Bureau, in his new book¬ let, "Professional Opportunities for Jewisii Youth". The booklet, which is published by the B'nai B'rith Vocational Servico Bureau, repre¬ sents a study of some fifty pro¬ fessions, pointing out many new and undeveloped fields. "The purpose," according to Dr. Levinger, "is flrst, to aid indivi¬ dual students to choose their life- work more intelligently; second, to begin, if possible, a movement for the redistribution of Jewish professional men. Such a move¬ ment, begun on a small scale, may be of great importance in the future." The booklet may bo se¬ cured by \vriting to Max P.

The cuslomai-y public Seders in the Jowiish Student House, old folks homes, orphanages and other in¬ stitutions failed to take place. Nor were there nny Seders in private homes. Hundreds of Jei^s expelled from the province of Burgenland, on the Hungarian and Czech borders, are reported to have fied to the mountains and forests as a last desperate refuge since the tighten¬ ing of entry rules ^ by Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Switz¬ erland and Poland has made it virtually impossible fdr the terror- stricken Jews to escape Nazi per¬ secution by crossing the frontiers. Acting on direct orders from Ber¬ lin, the Burgenland authoritaes or¬ dered the Jews to leave with little or no advance notice. Most of .them left penniless and with nothing more than the clothing on their backs, having been forced to sign St^omcnts that they were going "voluntarily" and that their prop¬ erty henceforth belonged to the state.

However, knowing tho facts as we do^rega,rding the present status of paid up moraberahips in this gre^t Order, Wo must admit that there is nothing to rejoice about. When millions ot Jews are .groaning under the yoke of tyrants in Europe and when all of right haye in America are being confronted with one of the worst anti-semitio campaigns in the country's history, some 6Q or more members of Zion Lodge will next week be dropped from membership for non payment of dues, These very same brothers will, no doubt, bo the first to como to B'nai yritb for protection when their liberties are ever threatened. To thoso men who can afford to be in good stand¬ ing in the Lodge but jnst don't care and aro indifferent, we desire to address this message:— The Nazis are determined to de¬ stroy the Jew not only in Germany, Austria and Polaivd, but wherever they find bim thruout the world. Thru a campaign costing millions of dollars they, are to-day spread¬ ing poisonous propaganda to un¬ dermine our security even in thia country. To gain power the Na,zis are asked by their leaders to bring great sacrifices. They give up much of their time, their means and their energy to strengthen their forces. The? pay heavy taxes and give up not only luxuries, but even such necessities us meat, milk, butter, and many wticles of nec¬ essary clothing in an effort to crush us. How xuuch ought we to give in self-defenae? Dare wo give less? Daro we indulge in costly luxuries whilo our brethren who are in the firat line tienches of the ruthless Nazi attacks are crying to us for help? Is it too much to make Meanwhile, new anti-Jew ish measures continued to pile up. The speedy introduction of tho Nurem¬ berg racial laws wis foreshadow¬ ed by tho granting of the flrst racial divorce involving an Aus¬ trian Aryan and his non-.Aryan wife. Married in 1921, tho couple lived amicably until the husband became a Nazi. His divorce plea on the ground that hi3_ anti-Semi¬ tism created an unbridgeable gap was granted by a provincial court. tion reads as follows: "The rab¬ binate considers it to be a holy duty this day to say a comforting word to all our.brethien, Tha holi» day yi& besis) -ftiida; thoiiBond years filled us with hope and courage. This timo too, tfi^ holiday should bring calm strength and hope for the future for hearts weighted down with sorrow. Wo want to fulfil! loyally and worth¬ ily our tasks as men Vfid Jews. Wo seek to accomplish these thin^rs not only for our own consciences but for the community to which we be¬ long. Eecently our community leadership addressed to a great part of Austrian Jewry a plea for contribution of a sum of money to be used for the community as a whole. Wb know that under exist¬ ing conditiona laislng this indis¬ pensable sum entails extraordin¬ ary sacrifice, but it must be done. Let the community, focal point of our Jewry, be enabled to continue its functions, to accomplish a dif¬ ficult task. Who makes a sacrifice for the community pleases God. There lives for us the God of pity and He tvill not forsid^e ua.
