JEWISH CONGRESS
HEARS REPORT ON
JEWS IN EUROPE

(Continued from Page 1.)

manians, however, are members of
the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is
the state church of Roumania and
the king is ex-officio the head of it.
The treaty expressly provided for the
protection of these minorities, but the
Roumanian officials have repeatedly
and notoriously violated it. The
American Committee on the Rights
of Religious Minorities, of which I
have the honor to be a chairman, has
sent two deputations to Roumania to
investigate conditions on the ground.
Other deputations have been sent by
the churches of Great Britain. More
recently, President E. Y. Mullins of
Louisville has visited Roumania. The
reports of these various deptuations
present an absolutely overwhelming
mass of evidence that treaties have
been violated, that property has been
confiscated, and that grievous wrongs
have been inflicted. We do not ask
exceptional privileges for any mi-
nority group. We simply demand
that honest observance of a treaty
which Roumania solemnly accepted."

Efforts to Secure Hight..

A renewal of the effort to secure
and protect the rights of the Jewish
populations in East European coun-
tries on the basis of the national mi-
nority treaties and the support of
American Jewry in this work was
urged by Deputy Gruenbaum in his
address, in which he outlined the situ-
ation of the Jewish populations in the
new or enlarged states as a result of
the war.
Deputy Gruenbaum explained his
conception of the complication and
the effectiveness of the national mi-
nority rights, arguing that the con-
tinuation of the fight for the realiza-
tion of these rights has a chance of
bringing results. The guarantees for
this realization are two-fold: One, in
the fact that the Jews are not alone
interested in the national minority
right, that they can find the co-oper-
ation and assistance of other na-
tional minorities, and, two, in the
unity of the Jewish people and in
their common interest that Jewish
rights be secured and protected. This

principle of all-Jewish co-operation
with regard to the citizenship right
has been recognized and acted upon
by Western Jewry. As a result of
this recognition, the various alliances
and societies were formed in France
and England to work for the equal-
ity of the Jew. What is necessary
now is that the same be done with
regard to the national minority
rights.
The third thesis in Mr. Gruen-
baum's address was that as a result
of conditions created after the war,
the Jewish emigration question has
assumed a compelling character and
the solution of this problem is pro-
vided in the Zionist movement and
in Palestine.

Voice. No Complaint..
"My task here is to give a general

picture, of the present situation of the
Jews in East European countries, to
explain the causes which have cre-
ated these conditions and to point to
the tendencies in this development,"
Deputy Greenbaum declared. "I do
not desire to enter into details. I ani
particularly unwilling to voice com-
plaints. It is essential, in my opinion,
to understand and to draw the logical
conclusions. I hope by this method
to avoid any possible exaggeration or
superficiality. I aso believe that by
this method I will be spared the usual
accusations which one encounters
when one speaks of the situation of
the Jews from a platform abroad.
Although I have never been afraid of
these accusations, it is naive to be-
lieve that in this time of the radio,
long distance telephone and cable-
gram that anything can be hidden.
"As to economic conditions, it is
obvious that not only in the new
states, but everywhere, and most of
all in those countries where great eco-
nomic revolutions took place, the eco-
nomic functions of the Jews have
been partially destroyed and have be-
com• more difficult. The oil markets
for which the Jewish industries, the
artisans and crafts produced, which
were supplied by Jewish commerce,
have disappeared or become inacces-
sible. In the internal markets the
local merchant, industrialist and
artisan of the master people have
taken his place. The successor ex-
ploits the state machinery, due to his
political influence, in his economic ri-
valry with the Jew. The nationaliza-

tion process which monopolizes vari-
ous branches of industry and com-
merce tends toward the same goal.
An internal system of protectionism
is being developed for the purpose of
strengthening the middle class of the
master people.
"There emerges thus a process of
driving out the Jew. This process is
strengthened by the taxation system.
All possible financial exploitation is
being applied to the Jew. The Jews
pay the heaviest taxes and receive
from the slate no equivalent in the
form of employment or having their
cultural and social needs met. The
change from one occupation to an-
other is not everywhere possible for
large masses. A surplus of popula-
tion, in places larger than in others,
is occurring and causes the need to
emigrate. This need for emigration,
however, cannot be satisfied and that
is what makes the situation worse."
The speaker polemized with some
of the editorial writers in the Yiddish
press who criticized him for making
the statement that 1,000,000 Jews in
Poland are surplus population and
have to emigrate. "It is true I made
the statement and I cannot see why
this should cause misunderstanding.
I have told the truth and there is
no use trying to hide it. We Zion-
ists have learned from Ilerzl to speak
freely and frankly on Jewish needs,"
he declared.

ing this demonstration. Severe meas.
urea will be taken not only against
individual students but against the
student organizations as well, Count
Klebelsberg declared.
Dr. Adam's appointment was rec-
ommended by Minister of Education
Klebelsberg and approved by Regent
Ilorthy. It was stated that the ap-
pointment of Dr. Adam, who is count-
ed one of the greatest surgeons in
Hungary, was made as an act of grat•
itude on behalf of several high gov-
eminent officials. Dr. Adam per-
formed operations on the sun of Re-
gent Ilorthy, Prime Minister Bethlen
and his wife, saving the latter's life.
Protest demonstrations against Dr.
Adam's appointment took place last
September. Count Klebelsberg told
a delegation of anti-Semitic leaders
who protested at that time against
the appointment that he assumes full
responsibility for the appointment.
Eight students were arrested during
the demonstrations.

"One of the great purposes of the
immigration act of 1924 was so to re-
duce the inflow of immigration as to
end the idea of nationalistic groups in
the United States and to permit amal-
gamation and homogenity. After lib-
eral immigration for so many yeara,
this is a most difficult process, and
will require many years, under favor-
able circumstances, even with the
closest possible restriction of immi-
gration.
Had there been no 1890 census
quota plan worked out ahead of the na-
tional origins proposal, it is probable
that the national origins plan would
not have met the opposition it now
meets. But quotas having been fixed
and in use for nearly three years, the
change brings protests from many
groups who feel that the countries
itheir members come from are being
discriminated against (by comparison
of course, with the 1890 quota fig-
urea). In the future this will happen
with any proposed change. It is pro-
' posed to use the 1920 census, and the
protest will come just as it now comes,
though perhaps from different
'groups."
