JEWS ORDERED TO QUIT DANZIG
PARIS (WNS) — All Jews were ordered to leave Danzig, former Free City, by December 31, according to a Berlin dispatch which said that offices for the distribution of clothing displayed notices that Jews would not be given clothing cards, without which nothing is obtainable.
Military tribunals continued to function through*out the section of Poland controlled by the Nazis. Approximately 64 Jews have heen sentenced to death by these tribunals which have already tried 485 cases of sabotage.
Meanwhile the Gestapo persuaded anti-Semitic Polish students to inform on Jews, and to search for evidences of Jewish sources of anti-Naizi propaganda which Nazi authorities claim exists. About 150 Jews have been arrested on accusations brought by these young anti-Semitic Endeks who are paid two marks for each Jew arrested. Most of the Jews were arrested in Lodz and Cracow.
Similar methods were inaugurated in the "protectorate" of Bohemia-Moravia by the Reichsprotektor who set a price for the apprehension of any Jew connected with anti-Nazi Jewish organizations abroad..

Finally, the writer was ushered into the offices of Abraham Herman, President, and Isaac L. Asofsky, Executive Director of HIAS. From their answers to a number of questions, the writer gained a definite impression that the outbreak of the war, though it has made the problem of emigrant aid service more complicated and more difficult, has not blocked the way of escape and that the emergency has only intensified the need and increased the scope of Jewish emigration work. The service which the organization maintains in 32 countries abroad, in cooperation with the HIAS-ICA, is gradually adjusting itself to the new situation with ofiices being transferred, whenever necessary, from belligerent to neutral countries. In war as in peace, the work of Rescue Through Emigration, is being carried out.
In the United States, the war sit-, uation hajg acted only to impose greater obligations. In the month of November a considerably large number of immigrants arrived on 33 steamers, and were met by HIAS pier workers. 541 of the new arrivals were sheltered by the organization, where the sheltering capa-floors. Many had to be accommodated at the expense of HIAS in hotels, there being no more room in "Father Abraham's Hotel." In the same period, the organization's employment bureau secured business opportunities and occupation for 150 of the immigrants.
PARIS (WNS) — The Executive Committee of the World Jewish Congress adopted a resolution at a special session here, appealing to the civilized world to stay the barbaric Nazi treatment of Polish Jewry arid particularly the Nazi attempt to set up a Jewish "rsservatjon" jji 3Jablin.
"The Jews of the world reject wilh revulsion and indignation the inad-. missible pretext of the Reich Government that it will solve the Jewish problem by barbaric treatment of Jews in Poland and the establishment of a Jewish "reservation" in the Lublin district," the protest said. "We have no doubt that the civiUzed world will also reject these decisioiis of the present German Government'."
A report received by the Congress regarding the Lublin "reservation" said that the German Government intended to publish soon a map of the area entitled "Jehudah," to signify that it was a Jewish territory. The map would show the territory as having an area of about 1,000 square kilometers, bounded by the San and Vistula Rivers on the west and by the Soviet Union frontier on the east.
The 50,000 persons now there suffer from lack of food, shelter, clothing and disease. Deportation of more than one million more to the "reservation" has been temporarily halted by the outbreak of diseasp which threatens not only the Jews already there but the Nazi officials as well. ■ ^
The Executive Committee of the World Jewish Congress has addressr-ed a communication to General Sik-, orski. Premier of the new Polish Government, pointing out that Jews will recognize the new Polish Ministry as the only legitimate authority in the Lublin district.
Up to the present only 5,000 Jews have been deported from Vienna to Lublin, despite the determination of the Nazi authorities to make Vienna "Jew-free" by February 1940.

Dr. and Mrs. Piters will make their home in Vancouver and are residing at 965 West 14th Avenue.
Berlin were recently called to the headquarters of the Gestapo and ordered to report on their activities and budget for the next three years. This is taken to indicate that Jews would be permitted to carry on their relief and emigration activities for the immediate future.
GENEVA (WNS) — The V/orld Jewish Congress, responding to the new international situation created by the war, announced that it is planning to set up a special institute in Geneva for the purpose of surveying Jewish experiences since Versailles and formulating a program guaranteeing Jewish rights to be presented at the peace Conference called at the termination of the present conflict. One of the principle aims at present, the Congress announcement said, is to achieve a united Jewish front for the duration of the
war and the necessary cooperation have so far not been affected by the to prepare for future peace confer-Lublin project. Jewish leaders in ' ences.

LONDON (WNS-Palcor Agency)— As the House of Commons was adjourning its debate late one night last week, Philip J. Noel-Baker, Lab-orite, asked the government for assurance that it would not force through the White Paper Policy at the forthcoming meeting of - the League of Nations Assembly. Under-secretaiy for Foreign Afifaiirs Richard A. Butler pointed out, in reply, that the League of Nations Council would not meet, and that therefore the question of the Palestine policy would not. be raised.
The question of Jews under detention in Palestine was brought up by Sir Assheton Pownall, Conservative. In answering Sir Assheton's inquiry. Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDon- | aid said that 175 Jews had beesn in custody at the outbreak of the war, but that this number was now reduced to 57.
The government was asked to re-| view the sentences meted out to the 1 43 Jews who were foimd guilty of participating in an vmauthorlzed mil-] itary parade in the Beisan valley last] month. When Robert John Boothby, j Conservative, inquired whether thesej Jews would have their sentences re-j viewed, *he Colonial Secretary replied! in the negative, adding that General, Officer bommanding M. G.' H. Barker was considering the punishment meted out t6 the prisoners.
