Population Decline Impairs Stability QUcws In Reich
Levitan Outlines  . Code Of Conduct For American Jews
WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS)— A: code -of manners and conduct for: American Jews was- outlined here by,. white-haired, white-.: bearded Solomon Levitaii, -Hrho ar¬ rived in America 57 years ago as a. penniless, immigrant .from Rus¬ sia, and. who. today at the age of. 78 is serving his sixth, terni as state treaaurcr of Wisconain iwhich regards'hini as one of its mbat 'beloved citizens.Iri an'address at the Jeivish Community Center, "Uncle Sol," as ,he ia known ih Wisconsin, cautioned Jews, against "going places where they are riot vireloome. Do. not try to go- where you are'. Hot wanted. Your racial pride should be so great that you, as 'a, Jew; should riot .want to go anji-::ploco" wheier'if;.JeWfis not welcome.-If .you refrain from.go¬ ing,places "vvhero you are riot wel¬ come you. will soon -win the respect of all jabout'ydu, andpcause the 'not welcome' :siign to,be removed." He urged Jews to accept '"with modesty arid humility," and not to "i>rag about- success or wealth," "¦We muat riot overdress,!' he. said. "We .roust: not be extravagant. We must not over-indulge in lux¬ ury; All those thinga cauae preju¬ dice , agalhat the people of :our race.''
Emphasizing .that "the true Jew", is "not a boaster," "doea riot make a showy display, of his worldly goods" and "doe's noli do thinga'wh.ich are offensive to both Jews and Gentile," , Levitan de¬ clared "moat Jews dislike 'the un¬ favorable traits exhibited by the thoughtleaa riiembers of. our race even mbre than the Gentile, dis- lifces-tKem; But it Is the lot of the Jeyc that all Jewa. must ;bear the penalty.: for the mistakes made by a few bf our people." He also cautioned Jews to preserve their eultural' tradition . arid' ass'ailcd thoae who "try to. pretend that they 'aro a different kind of Jew" and "Join I Gentilej churches just "to gain prestige.":"If Tve. are-proud of our Jewiah ariccatory," Levitan said, -."we can overcome many, of the hardships : which the 'thought¬ less members of our race. place upon ua." He deplored the neglect bf religious education, among JeW and pleaded with American Jewa to "exert every energy to adhere to the old atandarda of our. race and to preaerve those finer quali¬ ties which we owe to America for that which America has given ua. Le^ MS hold money in ita place. If we let it master us, it -will he onir ruination. If we.master it, -wo can maTf;e the wealth of our people an inatrument of great good. If we can,: aa Americans of Jewish descent, givo to Amorica some¬ thing of, the ideal.ism and desire for sendee which has marked tbe Jew down through the agea, we will accomplish a great good for America, the Jew will hpld .his place in the eun of America's gratitude."
NEW YOKK (WNS)—Recent regulations depriving tho JewiBh communitiea of Germany of their quasi-public character and there¬ fore of their right to levy: taxes on their membera is a moat ser¬ ious and perhaps irreparable blow, to thoir ability to sustain their own welfare and charitable inati¬ tutions, it Wns reported by tho Joint Distribution Committee in announcing that it had contributed $682,000 during 1937 toward the expenses of training, re-traiftirig, economic aid, emigration,- educa¬ tion and welfare of the Jeiviah population. The report showed that during 1937 the Central Committee for Kblief and ReconatrucUon of the Jews in Germany spent 4,- 439,267 marks. Of this aum ' 1,- 414,5(;3 marks-vvent for ti:aining, retraining and' economic aid; 1,- 149,974 marks for emigration to overseas .landa, including Pales¬ tine and countries in-Europe; and 718,932 marks for education. The entire. sum was exclusive from amounts disbursed by, tho Jewish communities: for normal philan¬ thropic iand institutional work.
In. this connection the report de clarcd' the decrease in the Jewiah population, as Seen in the diaao- luiion of 60 of the 260. Jewish .communitiea formerly existing in Hesse, the decrease in the number of :communitieB with more than BOO Jews each from 67 in. 1933 to 52 in 1937 and.a more than 40 per¬ cent decline in Jewish population in 10 cities which in 1933 had 15,000 -Jews, has been reflected in the weakening ecoriomie strength of. the: Jewish communities. .Out of 1,400 no less than 309 have had tobe recognized as being in. need and do not pay their, share for emigration and training purposes; 303 other communities have been recognized as being partly in need and petitions fI'om 120 towns- ti be place^ in; the;. needy category | are npl^ beirig'^fudied.
Anti-Jewish Bill lira Hungary Pushed For Final Passage
55,000    Refugees    From
Germany Entered U. S.
Since 1933
BUDAPEST (WNS) — Fih.il passage of the bill to set up a 20 percent numerua clauaus tax Jows in, trade, industry, culture and the profeasiona will not be effected by'the resignation of the Daranyi cabinet, which aponsorert the measure. The new miniatry headed by former Miniater »f Commerce Bcla Imrody pledged il- self to push the bill through tl^c Upper Chamber and to ean'y oiii the racist and extreme .riatioria'l- ist policy of its prcdecesaora. A majority of the members of th^' Imredy cabinet are known anti- SemitcB. While the lower..hbufli- of Parliament waa voting on thii bill thousands- of; Jews gathered arouhd the Parliament ".buildingl When news of its passage was rei ceived loud cries burst out and scores of Jewa wept while, others fainted. The day was branded byj, Jewish spokesmen as "the blackest Friday in the history of Hungar¬ ian Jewry"i
Meanwhile, .it was learned that thc immediate reason for tho resignation of the Daranyi cabinet was the reaentment of Regent Horthy at tW govern¬ ment's failure'or inability to pre-' vent Nazia from floodlngf the country with leaflets and poaters aaaailing the Regent's wife as of Jewish descent. One of the signs hung on walls throughout ¦ Buda¬ pest read: "Rebecca, leave the ace." Mme.

new: YORK (WNS)-Recur- rent rumors thot from fivo to ten thousand refugees from Germany had boon''admitted to the United States each month Bince tho Hit¬ ler government came to power in Germany iii January'. 1933 were spiked by Federal immigration orticials hero when thoy estimated that a monthly average of only 1,100 refugees' from G(!rmony have entered the country since ID33. This estimate, tho first of ita kind from an' official source, was confirmed by spokesmen for two Jewiah organizations who de¬ clined to permit the uae of their names'. If the 1,100 monthly figure is correct it would indicato that tho total number of refugeea ad¬ mitted in five yeara ia 55,000. How many of these entered as quota |-iriimigrant3 is. not known because immigration officials say there is rio way of distinguishing .quota immigrants from refugees. Those sariie , sources also dtjclare that riot all of the 55,000 are Jews .in the accepted sense, many being Christians'branded as non-Aryans .by Nazi lawa.

Catholic Paper of N.Y. Attacks Leading Jews
NEW YORK (WNS)—Di^poi-ta- tion of Prof. Albert Einatein to Gormany is proposed in tho cur¬ rent issue of the Brooldyn Tablet, official publication of tho Roman Catholic diocese of Brooklyn, in an' article in which Patrick Ii'. Scanlon, managing, editor, calls on tho National Conference of Jewa and Chriatians- and the :variouB interfaith nnd brotherhood movo- menta to "take up effectively the Geraohs, lanacs, Rabbi Stephen Wises, Einsteins, etc., etc., whose activities are causing more wide¬ spread . arititSemiti'am here thon all Hitler's hirelings, together." Tho article declares that theae movements "will be laughed out of favor" if they don't act, and "aa suggestion number one toward good will," suggests that "these good will societies recommend Einstein bo sent back to Germany, where he" may. fully realizo ho-\v to mind his own busirieas arid where persecution.again might im¬ press him with its heinousncaa in auch a way that he will really hate it and hate it for Chriatians as well .as Jews."
Precipitated by Einstein's ac¬ tion in signing a petition urging the United. States Government. to repeal its epibargo on arms ahip- merita to Spain, the outburst in the Tablet aaid. it was ^'importin- erit and aiTOgant" for Einatein to tell "our government how tq run ita buaineas" after he had been "given sanctuary in this -land" at "a time of personal peril," and added that "what is worse Is to have him indorsing a move to shoot down and continue the per¬ secution of Christians in Spain." The paper declared that "Einstein is a type. He peems to think that te his kind belongs the world and the rest put on it merely to be trampled over. In reference to persecution the only. onea worthy of aaaiatance are the Jews, in fact the only ones capable of being peraecuted are the JewB. If Chris tiansCiare-paraecufed, the'same is not to be recognized; the attitude seems to be 'what right have they to exiat?'. Someone might aay 'Wouldn't you think as long as this, (iountry took Einstein in out of the storm he .would at leaat wait a few years before dictating to the government!'. The Ein¬ steins . think every, government, every country, is particularly theirs, that it "is, to. be run for their benefit, arid the devil with the rest."

Terrains the American claim "completely unfounded,"-the state¬ ment declared "the article in the German-American _ treaty bearing on this.; matter provides, among other mutual guarantees that io citizens of both, countries, b^ given the same righta as to citizens of either in 'carrying' on commerco or prijcticing a profeaaion- nnd that nationals of -either ¦ country are, in principle, to bo based on an equal footing with nationals of the other as regarda the cari:ying on of trade and commerce. The decree, - however, provides that foreign Jews are not to bo treated worse than German Jewa. Tho opinion expressed in the American note of unequal ' treatment of different groups of the contract¬ ing partias' citizens 'on the baaia of race and sex flnda no support in the treatjr's text. "This extra- ordln ary American standpoint ivould eventualljr lead to a aitua¬ tion 111 which any' dittercntlation in treatment because of sex, age or profeaaional training' would likewise h^ forbidden."
