ILLEGAL VISA SEEKERS
BLACKLISTED

Warsaw q. T. ALA blacklist of
would-be emigrants seeking the Amer
lean consular VIE under false pre-
tense, has been issued by the Ameri-
can Consul here. The names of those
who had attempted to secure an Amer
lean visa under false pretenses, either
by Polish citizens claiming Russian
nationality, in the knowledge that the
Polish quota is filled, or by other
means, will be entered in this black
list among those who may never re-

interests, sometimes even at the ex-
pense of Jewish interests, have gone
to America in order to whitewash the
Horthy regime before the American
public, it is alleged.
The Jewish press here calls atten-
ton to the fact, that Premier Bethlen
received the delegation before it's de-
parture, and that they are reported
to have declared to him that they
would work in behalf of Hungarian
Jewry, but would also do all in their
power to create favorable sentiment
for "their beloved Fatherland."
This, together with the fact that
the American Consul in Budapest an
nounced that the delegation would be
received by President Harding at
Washington, serves as proof that
these delegates are regarded as vir-
tual representatives of the Hungarian
Government.
Men of standing in the Jewish COM
munity here, as well as the Jewish
press, cannot understand how this
delegation is received by representa-
tives of Jewish organizations in
America, especially by the leaders Of
the Joint" who, according to des-
patches reaching here, have been car
rying on negotiations with the dele
cation.
