In going to Palestine. Many are
destitute and hopeless. Many have
committed suicide.
About Palestine as a haven for
the refugees, Mr. McDonald re-
flected that the British government
of the Holy Land "can do little
more than she has done already."
Ile repeated that the Holy Land
presents a problem in itself.
During his stay here the high
commissioner will confer with offi-
cials of the federal government and
with Jewish leaders. Ile plans to

hann Calimati, were arrested as
Constintinescu's accomplices. All
three are known as Iron Guard
leaders. Codreanu, according to the
police, was not present at the slay-
ing despite all his threats that he
would personally take Dr. Duca's
life. Constantinescu was a candi-
date for parliament in the last elec-
tions, on the Iron Guard's slate, un-
til the organization was outlawed
and denied the right to participate
in the election.
It was pointed out that In nor-
mal circumstances, Constantinescu
could not be deprived of his life
since the death penalty has been
eliminated here and the highest
sentence is penal servitude for life.
The appointment of another Jew,
Max Ausschnitt, to membership in
the parliament was announced. He
enters the parliament as represen-
tative of the Industrialists. Several
Jews had previously been named by
the victorious Liberal party to par-
liament seats to fill the 303 vacan-
cies won by the party in the gen-
eral election of Dec. 20.
A Friend of Jews.
Dr Duca was known in Rumania
as a friend of the Jews and it was
largely due to his influence that
an election pact was concluded be-
tween the Liberal party and the

that his position is one of rapport-

He would not say whether he
believes the United States govern-
ment should lower its immigration

Ile admitted that this is the view
of a few of the foreign delegates
present at the conferences of the
refugee body.
A spare, charming gentleman,
with thinning white hair and a
bright professorial air, is Profes-
sor Chamberlain. He chatted aim-
iably with the writer about his
trip, saying that he Is to proceed
to Washington and report to the
Department of State what he saw
and beard at the conference in
Lausanne.
Speaking of the "cases" with

whom he talked in the French
barracks where thousands of

German refugees have come,

Dr. Chamberlain said that a
considerable number of them
are young people,
"They are looking for ■

chance to rebuild their lives,"
he said. "The whole problem

resolves itself into • question
of helping them to find a per-
manent home somewhere and
then helping them to had work."

To understand the nature of their

task, one must go back to the lat-
terly days of October when in the

course of the fourteenth session of
the League of Nations several na-
tions moved to save from the cruel-
ty of Adolf Hitler his Jewish vic-
tims and political non-conformists.
At the meeting several delega-
tions belonging to countries which
are bound by treaty to protect
minority citizens strongly urged
the necessity of adopting the prin-
ciple of protection of minorities

tional law. Se'veral delegations Jewish question as one involving
