creased. The return to the wartime
ban on certain uses of fuel will af-
feet all industry and the piece of
steel in peace time will be much
farther down on the essential list

Jews Of the United States and of

supposed wartime rulings were wide
ly published in our American Jewish
press last fall, and in some instances
were the subject of long editorials. I
have just furnished the actual facts,
based upon recent investigation of
my own, to the editor of the "Ameri-

errors will not be perpetuated there,

misapprehension ought to be correct

A supposed ruling of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in the case
of Samuel Lohmann of Washawken,
n. j., to the effect that a German
Jew is not to be reckoned as a Ger
man under our naturalization laws,
was reported in the American Jew
ish News" on September 20, 1918,
and numerous other American Jewish
papers since. No such ruling was
made and no such case was decided by
the United States Supreme Court. The
fact was that Judge, holding an in
ferior, minor court in New Jersey, on
application for naturalization under
the Act of Congress of May 9, 1918,
authorizing the naturalization Of Ger
mans during the war, granted the po-
sition in the case Of German Jew,
and expressed his personal view that
the fact that the applicant was Jew,
though of German extraction, was a
ground for exercising his discretion
in his favor. In fact, under the
statute, applicant was compelled to
swear that he abandoned his allegi-
ance to the Emperor Of Germany, so
that no ruling was made recognizing
any different nationality on the part
Of a German Jew, than any other
German. The British Alien Advisory
Committee, Of which Justice Sankey
was chairman, reached precisely the
same conclusion with respect to Ger
man Jews in England, according to
the Jewish Chronicle" Of London of
September q, 1918. There the con-
verse case arose and the Commission
properly decided that German Jews
are to be regarded as German alien
enemies, and not to be differentiated
from other Germans, by reason Of
their faith. More comment arose re-
garding decision by this British
Commission, regarding the status Of
Jews Of Eastern and Central Europe.
II was originally announced in the
London Jewish Chronicle and else
where, that the Alien Advisory Com
mittee, had held that non-Jewish Poles
are friendly aliens in England. while
Jewish Poles were to be regarded as
enemy aliens. Under date Of October
20, 1918, the London Jewish Chroni-
Gle published an official statement
by Mr.. Broderick, Secretary Of the
Commission, which explained that sep
arate committees Of the Commission
had been appointed to consider the
status Of Polish Jews and Polish nom
Jews. The latter committee reported,
first, to the effect that non-Jewish
Poles were not to be regarded as
alien enemies. As the other COM
