GENEVA.— (WNS) —That the League
of Nations Mandates Commission will reject
the British government's Palestine partition
plan in its present form and request England
to submit another partition proposal at a
later session of the Commission is the opinion

of those close to members of the commission, who are
now considering the partition scheme. It is understood
that the commission is in accord with England on the
principle of partition, but not on the details. In view of
this situation it is considered unlikely that any definite
action on Palestine will come from Geneva before the

J. Edgar Hoover. chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
has assigned Assistant Attorney
General Joseph B. Keenin to
make a preliminary investigation
of the activities of the pro-Nazi

Keenan is regarded as one of the
ace prosecutors of the Depart-

As evidence of the existence of
what he called a "well-organized,
subversive, un-American spy sys-

agents in this country, and in sup-,
port of the move for an investiga-

New York laid before the House

51 persons whom he described as
"Nazi propagandists, agents, stool

Chronicle Readers Cast An
Overwhelming Vote on
Palestine Question

Sentiment among readers of The
Detroit Jewish Chronicle remains
in the negative on the question of
the partition of Palestine.
Additional opinions on the,quea-
tion were submitted this week by
the following:
DAVID GOLDBERG, 2726
Sturtevant Ave.: The writer is
most emphatically opposed to the
plan to partition Palestine and be-
lieves that it should be rejected
by the Jewish people. The plan is
unfair, impractical, and dangerous
not only to those of our people
who have given of their time, en-
ergy, money, and their life's blood
to build up the Holy Land to the
point it has now reached, but also
to the thousands of our oppressed
brethren who might find them-
selves deported to a land unable
to maintain them, and surrounded
by unfriendly neighbors to whose
support the Jewish state Is asked
to contribute. Better let there be
no Jewish state at all rather than
one too small and weak to guaran-
tee its citizens their right to
peaceful, secure existence.
RABBI R. SPALTER, casting
his ballot against acceptance of
the partition plan by the Jewish
people, declared: We are offered
an outrageous substitute. Taking

Many Left on Their

NEW YORK.—A total of 2671
German Jews were assisted to
emigrate from Germany and the
refugee lands during the first
four months of 1937 by service
agencies subsidized by the Ameri-
can Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee. These figures do not
include those German Jews who
required no aid in emigrating.
The agencies within Germany
which were instrumental in as-
sisting German Jews were the
Hilfsverein Der Juden in Deutsch-
land which aided 1,308 during this
period; the Palestina Amt which
directed the emigration of 530 to
Palestine, and the Jewish Migra-
tion Committee which enabled 232
Jews long residents in Germany
to return to their native countries.
The Jewish emigration agency,
HICEM, with headquarters in
Paris, during the first four months
of 1937 assisted 467 German-Jew-
ish refugees to emigrate to Pales-
tine, other overseas lands, and to
European countries where they
could be settled permanently. In
addition, various local refugee
committees enabled 134 Germans
to emigrate to other lands for per-
manent settlement.
The Hilfsverein statistics in de-
tail show that 558 were helped to
emigrate to South America, 500 to
North and Central America and
70 to South Africa, Australia and
other overseas countfies. It also
aided 180 to emigrate to other
European lands.
Of the total aided by HICEM.
270 emigrated to overseas lands, 90
to Palestine, and 48 to European
lands.
It is estimated that from 1933,
when the present German regime
came into power to Mao I. 1937,
emigration agencies within Ger-
many enabled over 81,000 Jews to
emigrate. Including those who
have left without any assistance,
• total of 115,000 have emigrated.
HICEM during this same period
has helped a total of 16,313 refu-
