People to Help End Bestiality

National Council in = Exile Given Confirmation of Nazis'
Plan to Exterminate the Jewish People;
Period of Mourning Declared

LONDON—Strong men wept as they listened to hor-
rifying reports of unquestionable authenticity, presented
to the Polish National Council, acting parliament in exile,
describing the inhuman barbarity of the Germans against
the Jews of Poland. But their bitter tears were not an in-
dication of defeat, rather of resolution to itensify the fight

against the Hitlerite murderers
who have revealed plans to ex-
terminate the Jewish people in
Poland, and eventually in the
world.

134,000 Jews Enter
U. S. in 5-Year Period

PHILADELPHIA (JPS) — In
the five years from June 30, 1938,
to June 30, 1942, 134,076 Jews en-
tered the United States, accord-
ing to the annual report of sta-
tistics just issued here by the Im-
migration . a n d Naturalization
Service of the Department of
Justice. The number of Jewish,
entrants for the year ending in
1942 was 10,608.
The comprehensive data on im-
migrant aliens and emigrants
classify Hebrews as a race, in
giving statistics on origins, clas-
sifications and sex.
The immigration of Hebrews
by years was 19,736 for 1938; 43,-
450 for 1939; 36,945 for 1940; 23,-
737 for 1941; and 10,608 for 1942.
During that period, there has
been a steady decline in the num-
ber of Jews who, for various rea-
sons,• had to be deported. In the
five years from 1925 to 1929, 975
Jews were sent out of the coun-
try. In 1930-34, it was 713; in
1935-39, 499. In 1940, it was 78,
in 1941, 62 and in 1942, 17.

A solemn protest against the
German outrages was unani-
mously voted by the Council,
meeting to hear reports - that have
reached the Polish government
from leaders of the underground
movement in the occupied coun-
try.
At the same time the National
Council adopted a strong appeal
to all the civilized world to join
forces with the United Nations in
the fight against German bestial-
ity and the Nazi violation of the
most sacred human rights.
"Never before in all the history
of mankind have such crimes
been committed against the Pol-

the appeal said.
"We send encouragement and
assurance that victory is near," it
concluded. "And with victory,
punishment of the enemy and
freedom for the Polish and Jew-
ish people, now fighting arm in

Vice-Premier Stanislaw Miko-
lajczyk presented confirmation of
the reported daily killings by the
Germans in Poland and their plan
to wipe out the Jews. • He read
articles, printed by the Polish
underground press, and repre-
senting all shades of political
opinion, assuring the Jews of the
sympathy of the Polish govern-
ment and its promise of every
possible help.
Leaders of the underground,
according to the reports, empha-
tically repudiated stories spread
by the Germans that the Poles
were "grateful for the clearing of
the country of Jews." • Individuals
and groups formerly anti-Semitic
are now ready to give every sup-
port to the Jews, they revealed.
"Hitler is seeking to extermi-
nate Jews today, and will kill all
the Poles tomorrow,'2• Mikolaj-
czyk declared.
"I cannot find words to express
my feelings; I cannot ' speak,"
murmured Dr. Ignace Schwarz-
bart, a leading member of the Na-
tional Council, when called upon
by the Speaker. Tears streaked
his face.
Another Jewish member, a So-
cialist, Mrs. Zygielbojn, remarked
in a broken voice:

Col. Plotz to Fight
Typhus in War

.

WASHINGTON (JPS) — The
War Department and the Navy
Department have named Lt.-Col.
Harry Plotz, Medical Corps U. S.
Army, as one of the four out-
standing typhus research special-
ists to aid in the prevention and
control of typhus among the
military forces of the United
Nations and civilians in war
areas throughout the world. The
entire commission, headed by
Rear Admiral Charles S. Ste-
phenson, will be militarized so
that its members will be able to
enter theaters of operations
throughout the world to conduct
their studies.

Sept. 25. His plan was already
endorsed by Dr. Israel Goldstein
of New York, president of the
Synagogue Council of America
and the Jewish National Fund of
America.

Rabbi Jung's endorsement of
the proposal is contained in the
following statement made to The
Jewish News:
"I am in favor of a Synagogue
Council, both for the country and
for individual localities. The con-
stitution of the Council calls for
due respect to Jewish law, whilst
the provision against any inter-
ference with the program of
thought and action of the con-
stituent organizations presents a
useful and impressive platform
on which problems concerning all
Jewry can be successfully dis-
cussed.
"I have found working for and
with the Council an opportunity
to serve other sections of Amer-
ican Israel without any violence
to my own or anybody else's
principles."
