As these fines, ever increasing in
number, are causing the economical
ruin of thousands of Jews, a detailed
memorial will be sent to the head of
the state (M. Pilsudsky) with the de-
mand that the fines which already
have been imposed shall he cancelled,
and that the order directing that the
Jews as "aliens" have to report them-
selves to the registry office shall be
annulled.
