BRESLAU, Germany. (JTA)-
Dr. Walter Gercke, racial expert
of the Ministry of the Interior,
which is headed by Dr. Wilhelm
Frick, declared in an address last
week that it was impossible for
the Nazi regime to compromise on
the Jewish question. "National-
ity necessitates the strictest line
of demarcation between alien and
native races," Gercke declared.
Fined ,Under "Aryan Clause."
(JTA) —George Is-
rael, a former Jewish lawyer dis-
missed under the provisions of the
"Aryan Clause," was fined 100
marks last week by a Berlin court
for having used note paper con-
taining his former title of attor-
ney after havirirtMen forbidden

Herr Israel is one of a large
number of Jewish attorneys for-
bidden to practice merely because
they are Jews and because the
Nazis insisted that Jewish attor-
neys be permitted to practice only
in accordance with the percentage
of Jews in the general population.
From 39 to 73 per cent of "non-
Aryan" lawyers and notaries in
Prussia have been deprived of the
right to practice during the past
year.. figures now available show..
Last year there were in Prussia
3,378 "non-Aryan" lawyers. This
year there are only 2,066. Of
last year's quota of 2,04G no-
taries, there are today 884. In
Berlin there are today only 1,227
of both categories.
While the average decrease in
the number of "non-Aryan" no-
taries was 59 per cent, it amount-
ed to 73 per cent in the city of
Kassel. The general decrease in
the number of "non-Aryan" law-
yers in Prussia was 39 per cent.

week when he made a voluntary
contribution to the Jewish Na-
tional Fund.
Last week an invitation was ad-
dressed to him by Mrs. Philip
Slomovitz, chairman of the pro-
gram committee for the annual
$5 donor luncheon of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Jewish National
Fund, asking him to be a guest at
the luncheon, and if possible to
contribute to the musical program.
The reply came from Miss Phyllis
Harrington, his secretary, that Mr.
Gabrilowitsch would be out of the
city for. a number of weeks and
that it will therefore be impos-
sible for him to be present at this
function.
His Interest in Palestine.
British Jews marked "German
Jewry's Day" with large meetings
in synagogues and Jewish com-
munal institutions, where appeals
were made for funds for the sup-
port of the British Central Relief
Fund. Outstanding Jewish and
non-Jewish personalities addressed
the meetings.
Leonard Montefiore, president of
the Anglo-Jewish Association, told
a meeting of the Board of Deputies
of British Jews that there was
hardly a Jewish family in Germany
without some utterly destitute
member.
Eighteen German clothing man-
ufacturing concerns announced
their plan to establish branch fac-
tories in England. Ostensibly they
are moving to England to be able
to complete in the British market,
but in well informed circles, the
move is held to be an attempt to
escape the boycott on German-made
goods. The German factories in
England will be able to mark their
goods, "Made in England." The
German government granted per-
mission for the move, but laid down
conditions, which would assure
complete control of the factories.
A lengthy dispatch in the Lon-
don Times from a Berlin corres-
pondent reviewed in detail the per-
secution of the Jews in Germany
since the one-day boycott against
them last April. The Times de-
clared that it is obvious that the
Germans are continuing their drive
against the Jews and points out
that the Nazis still have to learn
that the Jews cannot be shut into
a "trade ghetto" and cannot even
be kept out of the professions.

by Henry Wineman, chairman of the board of governors of the Jewish Welfare Fed-

relief needs.
Mr. Wineman further stated that the board enthusiastically concurred in the
budget committee's recommendation to subscribe all moneys obtained over and above
the goal set to the work of relieving the suffering of Jews in Germany and aiding those who emigrate
to l'alestine or other countries to adjust themselves and become self-supporting In those countries.
"In setting the goal this year, the Federation took into consideration many factors, tangible and
intangible," said Mr. Wineman. "Foremost among the tangible factors are the budgets of our eight
