FOR GERMAN JEWS APPEAL TO OTHER COUNTRIES. United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright.)

PRAGUE, August 24

At least two hundred thousand out of the five hundred thousand Jews in Germany must leave during the next five to ten years, so Doc.or Arthur Bupp'.'n, an economic expert told the Zionist Congress here. He said that there was n-o salvation fo r the German Jews except through -migiution. Dir Ruppin appealed to America to relax her immigration laws, and to I absorb one hundred thousand of the | Jews. He also appealed to the League of Nations to assist in placing fifty thousand jews in other countries, apart j from Palestine. !

Doctor Soklov, the president of the Jewish agency, declared that the Jews would never fb,rgq; nor forgive Germanys’ insult to Jewry. Announcing that in the interests of economy, municipal institutions for aged and infirm people can no longer be officially supported, but th.'t they must be maintained voluntarily, the Burgomaster of Maretzko made an astonishing statement at a press conference, He said ho was unable to take the ‘responsibility -of spending millions to* prolong the lives of those incurably sick and insane. Ho added; Humane care will be taken of those unfortunates, but an end must be put to dosing ; them with expensive medicines, -which, after all, only prolonged their sufferings.
