Measure Already Endorsed
By Committee in House
Of Representatives.

3, 517 JEWS ENTERED

U. S. JULY 1-NOV. 30

Argentine Now Second to
This Country as Immigra-
tion Country for Jews.

WASHINGTON —(J. T. A.)—
An enormous cut in the Jewish im-
migration quota will result from
the new immigration bill, which
has already been endorsed by the
!louse immigration committee and
which reduces all present immigra-
tion by 90 per cent.
The quota from Poland, which
has hitherto been 6,524, will be
reduced to 652. The quota from
Russia, which has hitherto been
2,784, will be reduced to 278. The
quotas from Lithuania, Latvia and
Rumania have all been reduced to i
a basic minimum quota of 100
from each country. Practically
the entire Jewish immigration to
the United States is from these
countries.
Dickstein'. Minority Report.
In reporting the bill, the major-
ity of the House immigration com-
mittee justifies it on the basis of
the president's message to the
present session of Congress, which
recommended the revision of the
immigration laws upon a more lim-
ited and selective basis flexible to
the needs of the country and in ac-
cordance with the present unem-
ployment situation. The report de-
clares that further immigration
can only tend to aggravate the un-
employment situation.
Representative Samuel Dick-
stein, Jewish members of the
House immigration committee, has
brought in a minority report. Mr.
Dickstein proposes several changes
in the bill which would facilitate
the entry of relatives of those now
resident in the United States.
According to figures made pub-
lic by the bureau of immigration of
the Department of Labor, 3,517
Jewish immigrants entered the
United States during the period of
July 1 to Nov. 30, 1930, and 654
Jewish immigrants entered the
United States during the month of
November, 1930.

Bar. Job. to Aliens.
PARIS —(J T. A.)—No immi-
grant who entered France since
July, 1930, will be allowed employ-
ment, according to an official gov-
ernment order promulgated today.
The restriction will be a great
hardship on many Jews, who will
have to emigrate elsewhere if they
are deprived of the opportunity of
making a living.
Jewish institutions here have
already taken steps to do what
they can to ease the severity of
the new ordinance but there is lit-
tle chance that they will be able to
do much because the economic
situation here is gradually getting
worse and unemployment is in-
creasing.
For some months now there has
been a growing demand for immi-
gration and the other familiar
anti-alien measures..

Argentine Second to U. S.
After the United States, the Ar-
gentine was, during the past three
years, the most important immi-
gration country for Jews; Brazil
is becoming increasingly impor-
tant as a center of Jewish immi-
gration from Eastern Europe, the
Jewish population there having in-
creased from about 10,000 in 1924
to over 30,000 in 1928; and Jew-
ish immigration to Canada is di-
minishing with every year.
These are among the salient
facts brought out in the report
just issued here by the Interna-
tional Jewish Emigration Organ-

WARSAW WEATHERS
JEWISH BANK RUN

Funds Withdrawn on False
Rumors But Are Re-
Deposited.

WARSAW•—(J. T. A.) — That
the condition of Jewish financial
institutions in Warsaw remains
sound and stable despite the gen-
eral economic depression was ado-
itiately demonstrated by the ease
with which the Szereszowski Bank
met a run instigated by false ru-
mors as to its condition. Hundreds
of depositors who last week with-
drew their funds returned to de-
posit them.
Political motives are said to have
inspired the rumors concerning the
soundness of the Szereszowski
flank, one of the oldest Jewish
honking houses in the country head-
ed by former Senator Raphael
Szereszowski and his brother, Mich-
ael. Raphael Szereszowski, who is
well known as a social worker, was
an unsuccessful candidate at the
recent sentorial elections.
Great crowds of depositors flocked
to the bank to withdraw their mon-
ey when the rumors began to cir-
culate. The crowds seeking to close
out accounts, many of which were
for dowries, became no large that
police were required to keep them
in order. By concentrating all its
efforts on meeting the run and pay-
ing in full the claims of every de-
positor, the bank re-established pub-
lic confidence.
The facility with which the Szere-
szowski Bank met its emergency
has been widely commented on as
manifesting the stability of Jew-
ish financial organizations.

Zionist and may attend the forth-
coming 17th World Zionist Con-
gress, the parliamentary cor-
respondent of the London Jew-
ish Chronicle says the basis
of information received from a
Moscow newspaperman.
The Chronicle's correspondent
says that Trotsky turned to
Zionism because of his study of
the recent occurrences in Pal-
estine and because of his hatred
of anti-Semitism, especially Hit-
lerism.

Jewish Child Care Council s Function
In The Present Economic Depression

150 Children Cared For by This Constituent Agency of
Jewish Welfare Federation; Dual Problem of Car-
ing for Youngsters Created by the Crisis.

The London Jew who recently re-
fused to accept Gentile blood in a
blood transfusion, although such
transfusion was believed necessary
to his complete recovery, did so on
no other authority than his own,
from the standpoint of Jewish law,
and by virtue of an extreme fanat-
icism, Prof. Chaim Tchernowitz,
famous Talmudist of the Jewish In-
stitute of Religion told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency. Prof. Tcher-
newitz added that this London
Jew's attitude has no religious
grounds whatsoever and Judaism
is not responsible for the aberra-
tions of individual Jews.
The full text of Prof Tcherno-
wits' opinion in this matter fol-
lows:
1. It is, of course, forbidden to
swallow human blood (Rambam,
"Forbidden Foods" 6:2; Yoreh
Deah, sec. 66). But this prohibition
t• 't•
between Jew-
makes
ish and Gentile blood, and it is of
course clear that the prohibition ap-
plies only to the intake of human
blood by the act of drinking and
does not bear upon the question of
the transfusion of blood from the
blood vessels directly into blood
vessels.
All Healing Methods Allowed.
2. In general none of the prohi-
bitions of "Forbidden Foods" apply
in the field of medical healing. The
Talmudic principle is: all methods
of healing are permissible with the
exception of idolatry, i. e., to take
human life in order to save one's
own. (Yerushalmi, Abodah Zarah
2:2, Babb, Pesahim, chap. 25).
3. It is true that in the opinion
of Rambam, this radical permissi-
bility holds only in extreme cases
where life is in danger. ("The
F ive Bases of the Law," 5:6). But
according to him es-en the limita-
tion applies only when the gener-
ally forbidden things are taken in
the usual mode of "enjoyment" as
"when for example the patient be
given creeping things, or when he
he fed on Yom Kippur," But when
they are taken otherwise than in
the mode of "enjoyment" they are
permitted when there is no question

extremity.
(ibid chap. 5.8).
This blood tranfusion, whether or I
riot in a case of extremity, is clear-
ly not a "mode of enjoyment," and
would in all events be permissible.

Milton M. Alexander was the
Jewish Radio Forum speaker last
Sunday, and his topic was "What
Every Jew Should Know About
Reform Judaism." Mr. Alexander
declared that "the Orthodox Jew
now recognizes the inherent Jew-
ishness of his Reform brother. He
values his contribution to philan-
thropy, to Jewish education, to im-
p roved relationships with non-Jews.
H e has learned that the Reform
Jew Is not an -sseirniintionist, and
not an anti-Zionist. Whenever he
has approached an understanding
with the Reform Jew he has found
his ideas well received and fre-
quently approved.
"The Reform Jew, for his part,
has learned that he has no monop-
oly on public good-will or economic
security. Ile has discovered that
his Orthodox and Conservative
brethren have a sound, intellectual
background, no lean worthy than
his own. In their enthusiastic, na-
tionalistic consciousness he has
found abundant inspiration and a
greater Jewish appreciation."
Describes Reform Judaism
Mr. Alexander described the
growth of Reform Judaism and told
how the movement has grown from
within. Ile said there is no uniform
standard of Reform among the
temples of America, and added that
"many of the Reform temples still
retain the services of cantors. In
some the men still worship with
covered heads and still wear the
taleithim."
