BERLIN—By its attitude towards
the Jews of Eastern Europe, the Ger-
man Government is subjecting to a
severe strain the patience of its loyal
Jewish subjects in Germany.
. Not only has it closed the German
frontier against the immigration of
Jewish workmen from Poland and
Lithuania. but its officials, according
to information received by the "Ju-
dische Rundscham" are preventing
Jewish refugees who tied from Po-
land to Russia during the war from
returning to their homes in Poland.
The contrast between Germany's
professions and her actions in her
treatment of the Jews of Eastern
Europe is tellingly brought out in
the following sentences from an ar-
ticle in the Rundschan:
"It is high time that we should
know the truth. Is Germany pursu-
ing an anti-Jewish policy or not?
Is Jew-hatred to be allowed to de-
velop further in the East or is it not?
" \\'hat is the value of the official
declarations in which we are assured
that Germany recognizes the rights
of the Jewish people and desires to
uphold them?
"In the one case in which this de-
sire has been put to the test, and in
the case of the Rumanian Jews, the
proof has not been so decisive as we
could have wished.
