Jews Sentenced Jesus
BERLIN.—(J. T. A.) — The
assertion of the New Testament
that Jesus was tried and sen-
tenced to death by the Sanhed-
rin is not in accordance with
facts, Prof. Hans. S. Lietz-
mann, famous Orientalist and
theologian, told the Prussian
Academy of Science in a lecture
delivered before that body. Pro-
fessor Lietzmann pointed out
that the Sanhedrin never passed
any sentence on Jesus and that
the Romans never executed any
sentence passed by the San-
hedrin.

The Palestine government's de-
patment of immigration has con- lam to establish Nachlat B'rith
tinued to function not as a de-
partment for the encouragement
of immigration but as one for its
discouragement.
Although several measures
have been taken by the Palestine
government with a view to effect-
ing a thorough reorganization of
the police force, the peace and
protection of the Jewish commu-
nity are by no means assured be-
cause the Jewish personnel of the
force has not been increased and
because the Transjordanian fron-
tier force, as hitherto, remains
"Juedenrein."
Effected Economic Conditions.
The political disappointments
and the uncertainty with regard
to future political developments in
l'alestine have had a most depres-
sing effect on the influx of fresh
capital and on the economic situa-
tion of the country generally, and
what the riots of 1929 and the
Arab boycott which followed failed
to achieve was achieved by the
political restrictions that came in
their wake in the period that fol-
lowed.

CAIRO. (J. T. A.)—Although
the new Spanish government is
anxious to help Sephardic Jews ob-
tain Spanish citizenship, it does
not intend to encourage mass Jew-
ish immigration to Spain or the
creation of a new national home
for the Jews, because the country's
condition would make this impos-
sible, the first official announce-
ment of the Spanish government
fully defining its attitude toward
the Sephardic Jews, issued here
by the Spanish consulate, declares.
This announcement is in line
with the recent statement of Presi-
dent Alcala Zamora, who declared
that Spanish consuls everywhere
will be instructed to facilitate the I
naturalization of Sephardic Jews
as Spanish citizens and that all the
republican parties of Spain have
acceited the reincorporation of
the Sephardic Jews into the Span-
ish nation. It is expected that
similar announements will be is-
sued by the Spanish consulates in
other cities where large numbers
of Sephardic Jews are concen-
trated.
The Official Statement.
The statement is as follows:
"Taking into consideration the
fact that the question of the Se-1
phardic Jews has been renewed in !
connection with the creation of a!
republic in Spain, the following,
announcement is made:
"1. The edict of 1492, expelling
the Jews from Spain, became in-I
valid in 1812, when entrance to
Spain has been permitted without
distinction of religion or nation.
ality.
"2. There never was a purely
anti-Semitic movement in Spain,
the expulsion of the Jews having
been due to the hatred of all other
religions.
"3. A special law was published:
in 1924 facilitating the obtaining
of Spanish citizenship for Spanish
Jews.
No Religious Coloring.
"4. The Republican government
has heard with particular pleasure
the Sephardic Jews' Spanish sen-
timents which, however, does not
mean that the Spanish rvernment
intends to encourage mass Jewish
immigration or the creation of a ,
new national home for the Jews,1
as the country's condition would
make this impossible.
"5. The Spanish government,
which has no religious coloring, is
interested in seeing that Sephar-
dic Jews should be united with
Spain by language and culture,
and therefore special classes will
be arranged here for language and
culture and a special newspaper
will be issued in the Castilian lan-
guage, which is the language
spoken by the Sephardic Jews."

Cohn, 29 years old, and Raquel
entitura, 22-year-old girl of Sa-
lonika, Greece, both Sephardites
or members of those groups of
Spanish Jews still maintaining
their customs and speech in far-
away corners of the globe, were
married by Acting Rabbi Menahan
Ceriat.
They were the first of their race
to be married in Spain in nearly
four and one-half centuries, and
the rabbi journeyed from Moroc-
co to perform the ceremony. A
recent Republican decree estab-
lishing freedom for all religious
faiths made this possible.

NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.) —
Morris Chapnick was driving
his laundry wagon the right way
'hrough a one-way street until
he saw the rabbi of his congre-
gation. It was the Sabbath and
ne feared the rabbi might dis-
approve of his working. So he
turned his horse around toward
his home, 717 Fifth St., and
drove right into a policeman.
The policeman gave him a sum-
!nuns for going the wrong way
in a one-way street, but Chap-
nick got a suspended sentence
when he told the reason in traffic

PARIS.—(J. T. A.)—A violent
attack against Jewish students
from Rumania studying in France
is contained in n recent Echo de
Medicine article by Prof. Balt ha.
zard, dean of the medical faculty
of the University of Paris.
Prof. Bait hazard, who was held
resp msible for suggesting a nu-
merus clausus for Jewish students
in France and later denied it, now
conies out into the open with his
anti-Jewish sentiments. "Ras it
for that legion of Jews that the
French government afforded facili-
ties for Rumanian students?" M.
Balthazar(' asks. Ile then explains
that the Rumanian government in-
stituted a numerus clausus in or-
der to avoid an overcrowding of
the free professions, and while the
Christian students looked for other
occupations the Jews used the
privilege primarily instituted for
Rumanian students and came to
study in France.
Prof. Balthazar(' therefore open-
ly repeats his suggestion for a
mixed Franco-Roumanian commis-
sion to choose students for the med-
ical faculty aiming to institute a
numerus clams. M. Balthazar('
simultaneously attacks Jewish stu-
dents from Russia who studied in
France before the World War and
who no hunger come to France since
the Soviet government came into

EDITORIAL COMMENTS
IN MANY NEWSPAPERS
Other States Anxious About
Outcome of Court Battle
Against Measure.
The court battle against the
alien registration bill, adopted by
the Michigan State Legislature and
signed by Governor Brucker, has
attracted nation-wide attention,
and many states are watching the
result of the hearing before a
three-judge federal court here on
July 1.
Judge Arthur C. Denison, pre-
siding judge of the Federal District
Court of Appeals at Cincinnati,
and Federal Judge Ernest A.
O'Brien will be two of the judges
who will sit at the hearing, and
is third judge is to be chosen from
Judges Simons, Tuttle and Moinet.
Editorial Comments.
The attention that has been at-
tracted to this bill, whose prece-
dent, it is feared, will plunge the
land into a new waive of reaction,
is echoed in the press of the coun-
try. Yiddish and Anglo-Jewish
newspapers have featured the
stories from Detroit and Lansing
and the reports about the court
battle, and dozens of newspapers
have carried editorials about the
bill. The Jewish, Polish, Italian,
Rumanian and other newspapers
attacked the measure, as did the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
