LONDON. — James G. McDon-
ald, League of Nations High Com-
missioner for Refugees coming
from Gerniany, made a strong plea
for the League of Nations to un-
dertake• the task of looking after
refugees from Germany and other
countries in an international broad-
cast last week from this country
to the United States, over the Na-
tional Broadcasting Company's
chain network. A delayed or half-
hearted solution by the League of
Nations of this problem would be
worse than nothing at all, he said,
and emphasized that only a com-
prehensive program, promptly put
into effect, can really be helpful in
the present crises.
Mr. McDonald declared that the
German refugee problem is still a
serious one, adding that he ex-
pected at least 20,000 Germans,
mostly Jews, would be emigrating
annually from that country, due to
the recently announced legislation
at Nuremberg by the Nazi party.
Ile expressed a hope that this
emigration would be planned and
regulated in advance, which the
League can do, and not permit it
to be a repetition of the panicky
exodus of thousands of Germans
in the spring of 1933.
He announced that of the 80,000
refugees from Germany since the
advent of Nazism, two thirds have
already been placed in other lands.
Approximately 40,000 of them, he
said, have been settled overseas, of
which about 30,000 are now settled
in Palestine and about 10,000 in
North and South America. 18,000
who were mostly subjects of other
countries of Central and Eastern
Europe have been repatriated, he
reported, and of the 25,000 who
were distributed among the Euro-
pean countries, some 10,000, it is
reckoned, have been absorbed in the
economic or intellectual life of
these lands. A balance of 15,000,
he pointed out, still remain to be
placed and whose settlement is a
grave and urgent problem at this
moment. More than one third of
this number, he declared, is ac-
tually dependent upon relief organ-
izations and half of them, he an-
nounced, are non-Jews.

JERUSALEM (WNS-Palcor

dramatic and unusual meetings of
government officials, Arab, Eng-
lish and Jewish leaders, bankers
and industrialists in the history
of the country, a message was
read from Sir Arthur Wauchope,
high commissioner for Palestine,
who is now in London, in which
he assured Palestine that the
"Italo-Ethiopian War will remain
localized." The meeting, held at
the government offices, was sum-
moned on the instructions of the
Palestine High Commissioner, who
had been informed by local gov-
ernment officials of the intense
anxiety prevailing throughout
Palestine because of the move- Reports on Conference Ac-

"It is indeed fitting that in this

engaged as teachers, the majority
of these being college graduates.
At the present time, over 1700 chil-

"The general curriculum in-

Rabbi Fram will discuss the
spiritual significance of the new
method of warfare employed by the
nations of Europe against Italy,
by economic boycott rather than
force of arms. Having already
given his impressions on Palestine
at the testimonial dinner given in
his honor last Tuesday night, Rab-
bi Fram will in this sermon take
the opportunity to give his impres-
sions of his travels in Europe, and
especially in Italy. He was in
Geneva this summer attending the
meeting of the Council of the
Lague of Nations, and was in the
Council Chamber on the fateful
meeting of Sept. 4, when the Itali-
