¦llOMli; (WNS) — Bclwoon ten uid llfi'jn thousand foi'dgn .lews who aoiulrcd Italian citizenship ¦linco Jrtmiary 1, lOIII weie order¬ ed lo leave Italy by Apiil 1, lOUD in a sweeping dctiee adopted by the Italian cabinet. Introduced by Premier Mussolini hiinselt, the de¬ cree provides for the e.Hpulsion of all Jews wlio do not voluntarily leave beforo the expiration of the six-month peiiud "following the applicatjon of penalties fixed by la>v. * The decree also foiblds fur¬ ther Jewish immigration to Italy, and pcinianenl residence by foieign Jews. Jews aie deiliied as ull pel- sons hom "of bolh or one parent of till' llebiew nice logurdlcrfs of roligion. The riccree applies to Jews ill Italy pioper, the Aegean Islands, and Libya. No mentlyn is made of Eritrea, Somaliland or Ethiopia, the Italian colonies in Africa. It was rumored that the -Tows who are to bo forced out of Ittily WiU be olTered a hnVen' in thcile colonies.
In announcing the decree the cabinet did not indicate how many .lews aie aifecled but the figure is believed to lange between 10,- 000 and IB,000. The Jewish coni- munitios in tho principal indua- tiiai cities, such aa Milan, Tuiiii, Genoa and Trieste are expected to be paiticuiarly atfectcd since tlieir growth dates largely from the po^t-war period. Also subject to expulsion are 3,500 Levantine Jewa, most of whom are Greek ami Turkish subjects, who settled in Milan after the wai', and largo nunibeis of Spanish, French and Eritlah Jews from Tunis, French and Spanish Morocco and Gibral¬
tar who settled in Libya aftei the Itaio-Turklsli war of J9U. Many EiiM Euiopcan Jews, especially from Poland and Kumania, and seveial thousand Jewish refugees from Geimany and Austria, will ahu be foiced to leave Italy."
It is Gxpecte<l that the govern¬ ment will now make public tho results of the recent cennus of tho Jewish population on tho basis of which thc autliorities will de- terimni' those liable to expulsion. The census of IHUI recorded 47,- 431) persons professing the Jewish religion but the recent cenau? was taken on tho basis of raoo and hence t|ie figure is e^ipectcd to reach 70,000. The sole exomj-tion provided in the doeroo is for JeW.i who fought in tlie Italian army and foimer Austrian Jews who returned from war service pi ior to lillO to homes in what is now Italy.
A second decree set up a new superior council for democracy and race attached to tbe mliiiatiy of the interis*r. The new council sup¬ plements the ilrcviously organized olflce for demociacy and race pro¬ tection which is headed by Tdesio Interlandi, editor of II Tevere, anti -Semitic paper.
The expulsion decree, more sev¬ ere in its scope oven than soipe of tho Nazi measures against Jews, climaxes a violent anti-Jewish cam¬ paign in the Italian press. Previous ,anti-jewlsh measures included the establishment of a nunieius claus¬ us at a ratio of I Jew to 1,000 Italions, the exclusion of Jews from the teaching profession and n ban on foreign Jewish students in Italian institutions of higher learning,     t

NEW YOHK (WNS)~A endmont to thc Constiti.lhm the United Statea to exclude .^f^>f"3^ from election or appointment to public olTicos ami from thc to.irt^ was demanded by the Genh-.n. American Bund in ono of a Beil'i"- of resolutions adopted at itN si%(h annual convention. .Phrased in the form of a petition which i» to be circulated throughout" the cau.i- try in 1,000,000 copies, the mani¬ festo declared:
"In order to return to the prln- ^lipies which animated the framerT of our Conatitutlbn, none but true White gentile Americans, incorrup¬ tible, free from allegiance to any international organization, or 'na¬ tion, should be elected as ptiblio' officials. This-particularly appliesf to Federal ond state judges, dis¬ trict attorneya, law enforcement oIEicca and even men and women chosen for-jury duty. N^'^. -i}- ships from such a measure-, Jll accrue to tlie Jewiah population of the United States, which cx» coeds 5,000,000, as Jcw>ry haa cS^ tabiished in America an interna-* tional government of its own, With its 'Beth-Dins' or courts of law aifording .fi'ujFleient, scope to Jew¬ ish lawyers and Judgea 'of Asaltie blood and psychology, fov ' the, exercise of tho legal profession among their own people, accord^ ing to their own Talmudic tenets which cannot be applied to Aryan Americans.

In order to elimi¬ nate such corruption, intimidation and persecution, and, moat espec¬ ially, to maintain the public peace. We, tho untferaigned, do respect¬ fully petition tho Congress of the United States that thero be enact¬ ed an amendment to the Constitu¬ tion that none but white Gentiles be elected or appointed to the municipal, state or Federal judi¬ ciary, or to any legislative office.
Fritz Knhn, who waa reelected national leader, outlined a nine- point program ' of action whieh demanded the exclusion of Jews from the arniy ind yavy and edu¬ cational institutions. Speaking in German at a session held at Camp Nordland at Andover, N. J-, Kuhn said his program would "save America from being controlled by the international Marxist Jows. A socially juat, white Gentile-ruled United States," Gentile-rule'd American labor unions, a "thorough cleanlnir of our most .important medium of propaganda and entertainment, the Hollywood film industry;" "severance of dip¬ lomatic lelations wltli Hussia;" "the outlawing of tho Communist Party;" "immediate cessation of all dumping of undealrable-aitons disguised ag political refugees oh the shorea of thia country" and "cessation of all abnae of tho free¬ dom of tha pulpit, press, radio, and stage, underminine tha patriotism and tho morula of the American people" were other points put forward by Kuhn.

States Urged To Facilitate Work
GENEVA (WNS)—The League of Nations ahould recommend to (ts member states that they per- 'irii't; relief organizations to estab¬ lish temporary camps for housing refugees frorii Germany and Aus¬ tria pending their emigration to other countries and should allow the refugees the light to earn enough "to provide a modest sub¬ sistence before thoir departure for countriea of immigiation," Sir Neill Malcolm, League of Nations High Commissioner for German Refugees, recommended in his re¬ port to the League AsaemWy. Warning th.at another 560,000 Jews, including 175,000 from Aus¬ tiia, as well as hundred^ of thous¬ ands of "non-Aryans" must leave Geimany, Sir Neill said that 30,- 000 refugees are still in countries adjacent to Germany and Austria. A niass exodUs of refugees from Auatrii;!, he declared, was prevent¬ ed only "by the reintroduction of the system of consular visas" by neighboring countries. His report sti eased the urgency of coopera¬ tion between the League Commia¬ aion, the Intergovernmental Refu¬ gee Aid Committee and the various Uaiaon bodies and private relief agencies.
KOVNO (WNS)—Future entry of foreign Jews to Lithuania is forbidden, Minister of Interior S. Leonas declared In a atatement published' in a government oigan.

Othei- fepeakoi't, wore -Dr. Chaim Wei/manoj David Ben Gur- yon, chaiiman of the Jewish Agency Executive; Elcazar Kpp- lan, tieasurer of ihe Agency; Br. Nahum Goldmann, its Geneva spokesman; Prof. Selig M, Brodc?t- sky of London; Rev. M.

Speaking' in Yiddibh, Dr. Gold¬ man said thai American Jews must be brouKht into the fold of Bup- porting Palestine upbuilding not merely a3 a haven for a few peri.e- cuted Jews but because its rees- tafcli&hment; involves the preseiTa- tion oi thc Jewi " spirit, and oventnally, of the Jewish people as a whole. Calling fox a Jiroadcning of the scope of Zionist propaganda to embrace every phase of Jewiah Hfe throughout tho world, and pointing to tl j fallacy of Zionist piopaganda which canfied it to be picoccupicd ^vith Palestinp as Zionist ideology, Di. Goldman said, "it is essential that Zionist propaganda embrace the whole of Jewiah lifo, and to color and in¬ fluence it, What IS happening in the rest of the Jewish world is completely hound up with the fun¬ damental realization of Zionism. Without a Jewish national exis¬ tence in Palestine the pi;ospect of tho survival of the Jewish spirit and Jewish, body is no moie than illusory."
Asserting that if thc Jews of the world accept supinely the oppre&- siona and humiliations that have been heaped upon their brothers, they are nnwoithy of a better fate than th^it ¦which has ovoiwhclmed many of our people, he called fov Jcwiy to take a nioie vigoions stond in opposition to the forces that seek its destruction and fol¬

Palestine Jewry today is a model for Jews in other paits of thc woi'ld sui- rounded by hostile elements," Dr, Goldman warned that the Jew-hat¬ ing forces today arc enlavRing their campaign against tho Jewish people and that they can only be strengthened in their determina¬ tion to "obliterate us and the world" by a passive attitude on QUI part.
Di", Woirmann sounded a warii' ing that Jews -will reject any solu¬ tion of the Palestine problem offej-cd by the Technical Commis¬ sion on Paitition which will rob them of the hope of large scala immigration. Characterizing ths icsults of thc Intergovernmental Refugee Conference at Evain as in¬ adequate. Dr. Weizmann said that at that meeting the world was re¬ minded that thc Jews must demand a permanent solution of their piob¬ lem which can be fourid only in Palestine. Dr. Weizmann pointed out that tho curtailment of Jewish immigration into Palestine, which. it was believed would appease the teiroiists, must ineventably be in¬ terpreted as & sign of weakness on the pait of the Government. He demanded tha immediate restora¬ tion of the principle of absorptive capacity aa the basis of Jewish entry and asked that adequate pro¬ tection be extended to Jews in Palestine including provision for n greater opportunity for Jewish GQlf-defehse. '
Declating that homelessyresa is the tiagic fate of tho Jew^h peo¬ ple, Dr. Weizmann made stirring reference to tho new edict by Mussolini which calls for tho ex¬ pulsion of all Jews from Italy who took up re&idence in that country following the World War. Dr. Weizmann concluded hia address ¦with a call to Jews everyvyhere to suppoit the Yishub, to provide the meana to consolidate ita position and to cnlaige the basis for fui'fchor coloni^Ation. Echoing his earlier statement of Jewish policy in Pal- est-ine, the world Zionist lender held out the hand o^ friendship to the-'Aiabs, saying that he refused to identify the Arab people yith cowardly and murderous attacks by terioristsi.
