BEELIN (WNS)— Anticipating further measures which will com¬ pletely impoverish all German Jews by doping every 'avenue atill open to them in the econo'mic field, tho Reich Vertretung der Deutsche Judcn, tho official, central repre- Bontativo body of Germnn Jewry, issued an, opon appeal to tho Nazi government not to impose any new- restrictions which would curtail tho basis ' for their continued economic existence. Coupled with this plea -vyas an appeal to the government of Palestino and non- European countriea with unaettled areas Jiot to close their doors to German Jowish immigi-arits.
The plea to the German govern¬ ment was motivated ^y, the re¬ newed drive to eliminate Jews completely from trade and indus¬ try, a move which has gained in intensity ainco Dr. .Hjalmar Schacht, who had opposed the ap¬ plication ot anti-Jewiah measures in the economic sphere, resigned as minister of commerce, and by the impairment of tho ability of German Jewry to support the in¬ creasing number of Jews thrown on charity, which results from the steady impoverishment of tho Jew¬ ish community as a wholo and a slackening in Jewish contributions from abroad.
It is alao reported that Minister of Economics Goering intends to s'et up a special department to direct the liquidation of Jewa in German economic life.
The appeal to the German gov¬ ernment forins part of a resolu¬ tion a,dopted ty the Reich 'Vertro- tfing's Council at a meeting pre¬ sided over hy its president, Dr. Leo Baeck. It reads as follows: "A considerable part of Jewry in Germany, in whibh older classes predominate, is incapable of em- CCont»B«C(! On page 2)

She is a native of Russia (Homel) and received her. schooling at tho Uni¬ versity of Uriev (now Estonia) and the Hebrew College under the guidance of poet Chaim Nachman Bialick.
Sixteen years ago, while work¬ ing for the Poalay Zion organiza¬ tion, she was arrested by the Rus¬ sian Government and was shifted from one prison to another, under¬ going many hardships thru these experiencea.

NEW YOEK (WNS)—Making itil first official pronouncement on Palestine since 192D when its prosi- tlent and officera took a lending part in tho eatablishment ot the extended Jewiah Agency, the Am¬ erican Jewiah Committee, at its 31st annual meeting, unanimously adopted ft reaolution expressing opposition to tho proposed parti¬ tion ot Palestine and favoring-the continuance ot the present Man¬ date "until another solution that will preservo tho guarantees of the Balfour Declaration ia offered by the British Govemment." Cit¬ ing its approval of tho, Balfour Deelatation in 1918, and its mem¬ orial to Woodrow. Wilaon' in 1919 asking that the Peace, Conference recognize the aspirations and his¬ torical claims of the' Jewish peo¬ ple in regard to Palestine and that the govemment of Palestine lie entrusted to England as the man¬ datory, the Committee's resolution on Palestine expressed its "confi¬ dence, in the sense of juatice and fairness ot the people of Great Britain and its hope that the Brit¬ ish Government will not implement any proposal not in harmony with tho Balfour Declaration and the provisions of the Mandates that has been entrusted to them," pledged ita cooperation ,"to other bodies, particularly the Jewiah Agency, to help bring about a just, equitable and workable solution of tho present Palcstino problem," and authorized ita preaident and the chairman ot the executive com¬ mittee "\ cake all slops deemed by them neceaaary to implement this, resolution.'*
Inr a resolution on thc Jewish situation in Eumania, the Commit¬ tee declared "we understand that the govemment of tho United Statea, in lino with tradition dat¬ ing back to the administration of Preaident Grant, ia -watching the situation sympathetically and is doing all that it properly 'can to dissuade fho Rumanian govern¬ ment from the threatened persecu¬ tion," expressed "its appreciation of the steps already taken by tho Stnte Department" and urged "the passage of Senate Resolution 218, introduced by Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania on Janu¬ ary Stll, calling upon our govern¬ ment to employ its good offices to prevent tho threatened execu¬ tion ot the annoiinced program of peraecution of thc Jews of Ruma¬ nia." Tho meeting also adopted by rising votes resolution mourn¬ ing the death of Felix M. Warburg and Albert Ottinger, formor attor¬ ney-general of New York.
Establishment of a.new body to unify efforts ot organizations en¬ gaged in combatting . anti-Semi¬ tism in this country was announced by the coordination committee. Tho new hody will comprise two representatives each from the Am¬ erican Jewish Committee, tho Am¬ erican Jewish Congress, the B'nai Brith and tha Jewish War ¦Veter¬ ans. Carl Austrian and Edward Grecnbaum wero named as tho representatives of the Committee. Action and .discussion on tho resolutions, which' occupied tho afternoon aession, followed tho reading by Morris D. Waldman, aecretary of the Committee, ot the annual   report   of   the   executive
commitlee, ' and »" preaidential mraange by Dr. Cyrus Adlor. Key¬ note ot thc comprehenslvQ report of the oxecutivo committeo wan tho belief thnt the welfare of Jewa and other mliiorltias dopcnda upon tho maintenance ot democrntie ideals. Atialyzlnp; tho outstand¬ ing international developments duiing tho past year, in the light ot their effect on the Jewish sta¬ tus in atl parts of tho world, tho report ehiphaaizcd that "we can¬ not expect to nerve our fellow Jews unleas wo recognize that tho crisis facing them ia part of tho wider crisis confronting all human¬ ity."
Tho two conclusions dohceming world affairs drawn in the report were that "the democratic slates are becoming increasingly aware of the need to present a united front against the nggrcssor na¬ tions in order to preaerve pence and democracy" and "that the wel¬ faro of minorities is >today moro than   over   dependent   upon   the maintenance of democratic ideals in countries whero democracy pro- vails, and upon the establishment of democratic ideals in countries where democracy is ilot yet as- aured."   Thc report called atten. tion to the fact that German alii- ance with Italy and Japan "haa left the Jews ot Austria threat¬ ened with a Nazi government," lias "spread the Contagion of anti- Semitism to Italy which had re¬ mained immune," and "haa tender* cd tha German govemment oven bolder in ita eiforts to subvert the governmenta of . Eastern Europo and of South America by.encouT- aglng them to adopt tho totali¬ tarian formula."
Tracing the employment of anti-Jewish propaganda "as tha spearhead !n the organized drive to win other peoples" over to Nazi ¦ theories," tho report cited tho growth of DUCh propaganda in Latin-America, especially in Mex¬ ico, reviewed thc present situation in Rumania and Poland and Dan¬ zig, as well aa In Germany, and declared that "not since tha WorM War havo thc forces of democracy recognized with such clear appre¬ hension the dangers that confront them in thc intolerance,'helliger- ence and inthlessncsa of those who sow tho seeds of nnti-Seroi- tiam as a means of extending their dominion and feeding their lust for power. Today, as never before, there has cpmc a dawning realization -throughout tho world that these propagandists and states which violate tho principles of equality ond humanity in tho treatment of Jews are doing so in preparation for a larger campaign to subvert tho liberties of all— Christians ond Jews alike—who stand for huninn freedom nnd' brotherhood."
After calling attention to the , fact that "although tho Catholie and Protestant churches may pre¬ viously havo believed that, by re¬ maining aloof from political strife, they could escape from it, events in Germany particularly, havo dur.ing the paat year caused them to realize that forces have been liberated which threaten them with actual destruction," the re¬ port dealt at some length .with the (Continued on pago ii       '
