Quislings on Mass Murder of Jews and Their
Threat to Exterminate 1,000,000

BULLETIN

The International Red Cross was promised this week by
Admiral Nicholas Horthy, Hungarian regent, that no more
.Jews will be transported forcibly out of Hungary. He also
authorized the evacuation of Jewish children willing to
receive them.

WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Cordell Hull, for the second
time in about three weeks, condemned the mass murder. of Hun-
garian Jews, and the threatened extermination of 1,000,000 Jews in
Hungary.
Expressing his horror over the perpetration of the outrages in
Hungary as well as the cold-blooded murder by Germans of the
Greek villagers of Distomo, Mr. Hull declared that the crimes would
be inexorably punished by the United Nations. -
His statement on the horrors inflicted upon the Jews of Hun-
gary follows:
"Reliable reports from Hungary have confirmed the appalling
news of mass killings of Jews by the Nazis and their Hungarian
Quislings. The number of-victims of these fiendish crimes is great.
The entire Jewish community in Hungary, which numbered nearly
one million souls, is threatened with extermination.
Cold-Blooded Tortures, Massacres
"The horror and indignation felt by the American people at
these cold-blooded tortures and massacres has been voiced by- the
President, by the Congress, and._ by hundreds of private organiza-
;ilium -du-ought:gat thq _counts y.

tion and death.
"The puppet Hungarian government, by its violation of the most
elementary human rights and by its servile adoption of the worst
features of the Nazi racial policy, stands condemned before history.
It may be futile to appeal to the humanity of the instigators or
perpetrators of such outrages. Let Them know that they cannot
escape the inexorable punishment which will be meted out to them
when . the power of the evil men now in control of Hungary has
been broken."

Neutral Governments Helping Hungarian Jews
ZURICH (JTA) — Neutral governments interested in saving
Hungarian Jews from being deported . to extermination camps are
permitting their diplomatic representatives in Budapest to issue
passports to a limited number of these Jews, thus accepting them
as citizens and offering them their protection; its is reported in
Hungarian newspapers reaching here.
"A number of ,Jews," the Budapest paper Magyarsag writes,
"who only recently wore a yellow Star of David, are now seen on
the streets of Budapest without any such insignia. They are con-
spicuous by their insolent behavior. These Jews have found a back
door since certain neutral countries displayed readiness to grant
them citizenship."
It is also reported that proceedings have been instituted against
Count Mihaly Andrassy, a member of the ranking nobility of Hun-
gary, on the charge that he hid Jews to save them from deportation.
The manager of Andrassy's estate in Szigetvar was fined 2,000
,pengoes by the authorities for hiding Jews on the estate.
Hungarian newspapers carry attacks against the mayors of the
cities of Nagybanya and Kaposvar for being "lenient to Jews."

Hungarian Jews Continue to Arrive in Poland
LONDON (JTA) — Freight trains jammed with Hungarian
Jews have been arriving daily at the Oswiecim "death camp" in
Poland since the middle of May, the Polish government was in-
formed in a dispatch from underground observers. The deportees,
the underground message said, are gassed in two chambers-1,000
at a time.
An indication of the number of Jews who have arrived can be
gathered from the underground's disclosure that a mound of baggage
more than 300 yards long, over 200 yards wide, and five yards high
is piled up on the platform of the Oswiecim railroad station. Each
deportee is allowed 50 pounds of luggage.

effective rear guard actions and wreaking
vengeance on the enemy.
