LEADERS DENOUNCE
ATTEMPT TO ENACT
IMMIGRATION CUTS

Rabbi Wise Heads Jewish
Delegation in Plea for
Human Rights.

CONSULS INSTRUCTED
NOT TO ISSUE VISAS

Charge Restrictionists Are
Sadistic in Anti-Alien
Prejudices.

WASHINGTON.—(J. T. A.)—
A dramatic denunciation of at-
tempts to enact into, law further
restriction of immigration was
heard by the House Immigration
Committee from Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise in behalf of the American
Jewish Congress, of which he is
the honorary president.
The restriction sts, Rabbi Wise
asserted, have taken an almost sa-
distic satisfaction in gloating over
the inability of separated families
to achieve their hope of being re-
united.
The session was also addressed
by Nathan D. Perlman represent-
ing the American Jewish Congress,
the American Jewish Committee,
the Order Brith Abraham; Dr. S.
Margoshes, editor of the Day;
Maurice I). Rosenberg, represent-
ing the B'nai B'rith and Isidore
Hershfield, the Hies.
Mr. Pearlman read a statement
from the American Jewish Commit-
tee, prepared by Max J. Kohler,
who was unable to be present owing
to the serious illness of his mother,
Mrs. Kaufman Kohler, who has
since died.
"111-Willed Enmities."
Dr. Wise vigorously protested
against the bill which calls for a
110 per cent reduction in immigra-
tion, which is alleged to have the
approval of the State Department.
"It is nothing less than indecent,
at the behest of ill-willed fanatics,
to make impossible, in the name of
further restriction, the reunion of
prospective American citizens with
their nearest relatives," Dr. Wise
asserted.
Attempts to heckle Dr. Wise were
made by Congressmen Green of
Florida and Dies of Texas, both
restriction ists.
When Green stated that Rabbi
Wise as a witness had no right to
coat reflections an the statesman-
ship of members of the committee,
Rabbi Wise retorted by asking
whether it was proposed to intro-
duce the system of the Czar in
America when it would become less
majeste to criticize legislators and
when all freedom of expression
would be supressed.
Quotes Statistics.
Mr. Perlmari stated the passage
of the proposed bill to reduce the
immigration by 90 per cent would
mean a delay of from two to ten
years in caring for citizen and alien
preference cases undisposed of by
Dec. 31, 1932. Giving evamples of
various countries, Mr. Perlman
pointed out that Poland which has
an annual quota of 6,524, would
have its quota reduced to (352. Since
there was a total of 4,103 prefer-
ence cases on Dec. 31, 1931, it
would take six years to dispose of
all those pending.
Dr. Margoshes presented an ana-
lysis of the weakness of the argu-
ments of the restrictienists. He
showed by statistics, that in the
past history of immigration, prior
to the present restrictions, immi-
gration automatically reduced it-
self under the operation of econom-
ic laws, immigrants having volun-
tarily refrained from coming to the
United States during severe finan-
cial depressions.
The depression, he said, is there-
fore, simply a pretext for further
restriction.
Alfred M. Cohen, president of the
B'nai B'rith, was present at the
hearings, but did not testify.

Zion Protocols Find
Publisher in Spain

MADRID.—(J. T. A.)—J.
T. A.)—The spurious Protocols
of the Elders of, Zion will be
published here in a Spanish
translation by the Daily Criti-
rio, the paper announced.
This is the first translation
of the Protocols to be issued in
Spanish and is causing some
concern to the Jewish popula-
tion, which is anxious to pre-
vent an increase in anti-Semitic
propaganda, which has been
making itself evident recently.
The Criterio publishes a
lengthy introductory ch
a pter to
the Protocols with the comment
that it adds local color to the
Protocols by declaring that
Spanish Jewry stands together
with world Jewry for the real-
ization of the ideal of Jewish
rulership in world affairs. •

MOSCOW. — (J. T. A.) — The
reason for the recent change in the
personnel of the Comzet, govern-
mental deoartment for settling
Jews on the land and in industry,
is explained in the report of the
investigating committee into the
work of the Comzet, now pub-
lished, and the basis on which the
charges were made.
The men in charge of the work
are accused in the report of hav-

homes, meaning that the plan was
only 33 per cent effective.
Work in Bira Bidjan.
In Bira Bidjan there should
have been 14,000 Jewish transmi-
, grants by Jan. 1. Actually only
17,730 people migrated, and only
about 5,000 have remained there,
meaning that the plan has been
only 43 per cent effective. Accord-
, ing to other reports, the number
of settlers who have left Bira Bid-
jan and gone back to their homes
I is much larger.
The Comzet had thus failed in
two directions, the report says. It
had not carried out the plan of re-
. cruiting the quota of migrant set-
; tiers, and it had allowed a big'
stream of re-emigration to net in.
The Comzet failed to take any
steps to discover the reason for
this re-emigration or to put a stop
to it. The damage done by this
failure is not only that the area
of land sown in the Crimea and
Bira Bidjan was less than had been
fixed upon, but the fact that the .

NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.)—
Felix M. Warburg, chairman of
the executive committee of the
Training School for Jewish So-
cial Work, announces that the
regents of the University of the
State of New York have author-
ized the school to change its
name to the Graduate School
for Jewish Social Work and to
grant the degrees of Master of
Social Service (31. S. S.) and
Doctor of Social Service (U.
S. S.).
This action was taken by the
regents on the application of
the board of trustees for a per-
manent charter for the school,
including the degree-granting
powers, Mr. Warburg said.
Although the school could not
meet the requirements for a
permanent charter because it
does not have the necessary en-
dowment funds, the regents
granted the degree.giving pow-
ers because of the high quality
of the work of the school, he
pointed out.
