merchants were some of the
evils from which the Jews suffer-
ed in the areas controlled by
Franco's army. Even worse was
the lot of the Jews in Spanish
Morocco.
Because the bulk of Spanish
Jewry was concentrated in Cata-
lonia, which is as yet outside the
actual theatre of war, casualties
among the Jewish civilian popu-
lation were few. But the Jewish
community as a whole was ser-
iously disrupted. Hundreds of
families left the country, many
going to France and others re-
turning to the Balkans. The
plight of the German refugees
was particularly serious. Because
of the Nazi regime's support of
Franco, the Loyalists at first
made no distinction between
Germans and held them all as
hostages. After the intervention
of the World Jewish Congress
and the League of Nations High
Commissioner, the Loyalist au-
thorities agreed to permit all
refugees vouched for by the
High Commissioner and the Jew-
ish Congress to leave Spain. But
the Fascists continued to treat
refugees in their territory as
enemies.
The Jews who remained in
Spain, including refugees, man-
aged to maintain some vestige of
communal life. In Barcelona
special permission was obtained
to bake matzoth. During the
Purim holiday the Jews replaced
Haman with Franco in the Purim
story. The Loyalist authorities
promised to accord citizenship to
the refugees after the war. In
addition to the resident Jews,
many foreign Jewish volunteers
came to fight against Fascism.
There were also quite a few Jew-
ish doctors in the Loyalist medi-
cal service.
The anti-Semitic agitation in
Spain was also reflected in Port-
ugal, where the government was

I was needed that anti-Semitism

it was furnished by the fact that
other Jews retained or were given
high office and honors. The base-
less charges of anti-Semitism had
their parallel in similar canards
about the future of Birobidian,
one report going no far as to al-
lege that the whole project had
been abandoned. The patent ab-

demonstrated by the millions of
rubles the Soviets continued to
pour in Birobidjan. Slow but

Elsewhere in Russian the Jews
continued to enjoy complete eco-
nomic and political equality. The
economic and social restratifica-
lion of the Jewish masses made
phenomenal strides, while the
Jewish agricultural colonies of
the Agro-Joint, which adopted a
1937 budget of $2,000,000, con-
tinued to grow and prosper. The
trickle of German Jewish refu-
gees; the adoption of the new
constitution, which wiped out the
last of the declasses. established
complete religious freedom and

munity. An attempt was made to
blow tip the synagogue in Zurich,
where the Jewish community cele-
brated its 75th anniversary. Gen-
eva continued to be the teat of
Jewish efforts to enlist interna-

ish minorities and Jewish rights
in Palestine. A number of con-
ferences to discuss refuee prob-

Jewish Weather Report: Con-
tinued Clear, With Scattered
Scattered Clouds Quickly Dis•
sipating

With a few notable exceptions,
all major happenings in American
Jewish life last year were in one
way or another echoes of events
and trends abroad. The failure to
achieve Jewish unity was reflected
here in the diverse methods pur-
sued to combat anti-Semitism at
home and to succor its victims
abroad, the manoeuvring for con-
trol over American Jewish com-
munities between Zionists and non-
Zionists, the competition for the
American Jewish dollar by the var-
ious fund-raising agencies, the
repressed but none the less omni-
present sniping between the dem-
ocratic forces In Jewish life and
those that sought to impose control
from the top—all of,which tended
toward the development of two
mutually opposed viewpoints which
pulled the Jewish community in di-
verge directions.
While the bulk of Jewish corn-
munel activity was concentrated
on Jewish problems overseas, con-
siderable attention was devoted to
dealing with manifestations of the
same problems at home. A pro.
posed Congressional investigation

We bow, in respectful
Admiration, to the fire
and fervor, the un-
daunted courage and
spirit of unity which
has sustained the
Jewish race for
nearly six thou-
sand years.

OLDBRU, which is but
an infant of 69 years,
takes this opportunity
of extending to the
Jewish citizens of
Detroit and Michi-

piest of Season's

The principal event in Swit-
zerland last year was the trial
and conviction of David Frank-
furter for the slaying of Wilhelm
Gustloff, Swiss Nazi fuehrer. At-
tempts to exploit the trial for
anti-Semitic purposes were block-
ed by the unexcitable Swiss au-
thorities. Nevertheless Nazi and
Fascist propazanda made unlook-
ed for headway among the dem-
ocratic mountain people. An
anti-alien phobia plus the fear
of political extremism of the right
and the left gave rise to legisla-
tion curbing the residence rights
of German refugees and East
European Jews. Nazi propaganda
as such was givorously combated
by the government, but the
growth of Fascist movements
gave concern to the Jewish com-
