to the constitution of the Reich.
In the meantime, Frick had es.
tablished a chair in "racial sci-
ence," an obvious euphemism for
anti-Semitism," at the University
of Jena.
In their efforts to harass and
humiliate the Jews, the reactionist
elements seized upon the device of
making Shechitah, the method of
slaughtering animals according to
Jewish ritual, illegal. These efforts
failed in the Landtag of Baden,
(l
I and in the cities of Cologne and
' Berlin, but succeeded in the Land-
tag of Bavaria, where, on Jan. 29,
a bill requiring stunning before
slaughter was passed by a vote of
115 to 42, only the deputies of the
Volkspartei, then in control of the
government, voting against the
government measure. The law is
to come into force on Oct. I, 1930,
unless the government of the
Reich can have it set aside as un-
constitutional.
The matter was called to the at.
tention of the federal government
by Baron von l'rittwitz, German
ambassador to the United States,
2842 WEST GRAND BLVD., at Hamilton
upon the request of the American
Jewish Committee and the manag-

ing director of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency. In a letter to the
Ambassador,
Dr. Cyrus Adler,
president tot the American Jewish
Committee, stated that "legislation
, of this character has wounded the
sensibilities and has offended the
conscience of a large body of
I American citizens in every way
friendly to the people of Ger-
many." The contents of this letter
beeame known in some manner to
the Voelkische Beobachter of Mu-
nich, chief organ of the Hitler
party, which immediately raised
the cry that American Jews were
attempting to interfere in matters
of internal concern in Germany.

Hungary.
Economic anti-Semitism is also
troubling the Jews of Hungary.
While the government frowns upon
open manifestations of Jew-hatred
at the universities, nothing is bru-
in); done to curb the silent but ef-
fective boycott which has depopu-
lated ninny villages and small
towns of their Jewish residents.
who have abandoned farms and
businesses; in some places only de.
sorted synagogues and Jewish
cemeteries mutely attest the for-
mer existence of Jewish communi-
ties. In the cities, long-established
Jewish firms, especially in the
flour-milling, textile and rug in-
dustries, have been forced out of
business, and many formerly weal-
thy families have been reduced to
novelty. This is the chief com-
plaint of the Jews of Hungary to-
day.
At the session of the assembly
, ,if the League of Nations in Sep-
tember, 1929, following the Pales-
tine (mirages, Count A pponyi,
Hungary's real:imitative at the
league, demanded protection for
the Jews of Palestine. This inci-
dent gave a Socialist member of
Parliament an opportunity to call
attention to the evil plight of the
Jews and to ask why the govern-
ment does not extend protection to
its own Jews.
The fact that disgraceful &soy-
! ders occurred in Budapest, in Oc-
: tober, 1929, at about the same
time as did the student riots in Vi-
enna, has led some to believe that
somewhere there is a central au-
thority directing these onslaughts,
in an effort to stampede the gov-
ernments of the two countries into
establishing a rigorous numerus
I clausus as against the Jews. One
result of these conditions is to
force many Jews to the baptismal
font. In 192S, a total of 316 Jews
in Budapest embraced Christian-
ity. :According to replies received
by the Budapest rabbinate to ques-
tionnaires Sera to these converts,
their desertion from Judaism was,
in most cases, a measure of self-
press ion, as only their religious
affiliation stood in the way 44 their
obtaining employment.
At the
same time, there is a return move-
ment of converts. Toward the end
of October, a Budapest newspaper
publishing statistics showing that
during the ten years beginning
August 1, 1919, and ending July
1929, no fewer than LIM" con-

In February, a correspondent of
the New York Yiddish Daily, the
Forward, transmitted a heart-
rending account of the material
sufferings of the Jewish popula-
tion. This is caused in part by
the fact that the Government is
gradually taking over various en-
terprises formerly under private
ownership, and that in this process
the Jewish workers are expelled.
This is especially true of such in-
dustries as tobacco, alcohol, lum-
ber, and salt-mining. Ile instanced
also the failure of the Government
to give Jews employment on public
utilities. Of the -1,312 people em-
ployed on the municipal trolley
lines in, %S. :us:1w in 1928, there
were only two Jews; in 1920 no less
than 1,509 Workers were added, of
whom only 4 were Jews. In 1920
there were 1,857 persons employed
on the water-Works system of War-
saw, of whom about a score were
laws; in 11129, more than a thou-
sand new Workers Were added Mid
all the Jews expelled. Altogether
this correspondent averred, the city

cause of the savage hostility which
they meet from non-Jewish stu-

In the Sejm, the economic status
of the Jews was brought up again
and again by Jewish deputies, es-
pecially by Gruenbaum. Over and
over again, he cited facts to prove
that many Je•s had been taxed
out of business. At the end of
1929, he and other deputies sub-
mitted an interpellation asking the
Government to explain why the
