CONDITION OF JEWS
IMPROVES IN EUROPE

NEW YORK, Nov. What is
called the COLLAPSE of anti-Semitic
agitation in the United States" and
the fact that no attempt on n con-
siderable scale was made during the
past year TO revive this propaganda,
has had a most salutary effect in
minimizing anti-Jewish activities IN
Europe" according to the sixteenth
annual report of the American Jew
ish Committee made public here.
The report credits the collapse OF
the anti-Jewish propaganda to the
vigorous protests of the press. the
church, and other American organs
of public opinion.
Louis Marshall of New York is
president of the committee, whose
members include many of the most
prominent Jews in America. The re-
port was prepared by it's executive
committee, which includes Albert ID.
Lasker, Julius Rosenwald and Cen
eral Abel Davis of Chicago, Oscar
S. Straus, Abram l.. Elkus, Justice
Irving Lehman, Cyrus l.. Sulzberger,
Lewis L. Strauss and Mr.. Marshall
of New York, DIR. Cyrus Adler and
Horace Stern Of Philadelphia, Felix
Fuld of Newark, N. J., A. Leo We'll
of Pittsburgh, A. C. Ratshesky of
Boston, Colonel Isaac NJ. Ullman of
New Haven, and Paul l.. Feiss of
Cleveland.
The past two years have seer a
noticeable improvement in the con-
dition of the Jews in Eastern and
Central Europe, according to the
report, although in many lands OPP
preston, persecution and invidious
discrimination still prevail. Even
there a reasonable hope for even
tual If not speedy betterment is
justified. 4,

WINTER WHEAT RESISTANT OF
BUNT AND SMUT ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Develop-
ment of a new variety of winter
wheat which is resistant to bunt or
smut is announced by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t has been
named "Ridit" because it is expect
ed to rid the wheat fields of smut.
The variety was developed by DIR.
E. +. Gaines of the Washington agri-
cultural experiment station at Pull
man, Wash, in cooperation with the
Department of Agriculture. 1t was
bred through crossing Turkish and
Florence varieties, the latter a smut
resisting spring wheat from Austral-
ia. Ridit has been found better
adapted for the more humid re-
gions than for semlarid regions. A
few hundred farmers in eastern
Washington planted Ridit this fall to
give 1t a more complete trial than it
has had in experiments.

LABOR FIGHTS SECESSION.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLOGNE, September 26.-"Give no
quarter to the secessionist traitors"
is rhe command given by the labor
leaders in the Rhineland to their fol-
lowing, who are urged to bend all
the efforts toward the maintenance
of national unity.
The opinion of the German press
in the Rhineiand area supports the
Berlin governments action in calling
off passive resistance. but warning is
given against possible advantage
being taken of the situation by the
separatist elements.
"This step deprives France and
Belgium of their last pretext to
dodge a reasonable settlement" says
the Cologne Gazette. The. Volks Zei-
tung admonishes the populace to OBJ
serve order and dignity, of which
the Rhineland is in urgent need.
France, 1t says, now is given the
opportunity to speak the redeeming
word. The Rhenish Gazette, organ
OF the socialists. says:
we are anticipating the negotia-
tlons with the full consciousness that
the fate of Europe is to be decided
either through methods of peace or
war Whatever may come, we Will
remain true to the German republic,
because sentiments cannot be wiped
out by coercion"
German quarters represent popu-
lar hatred of the separatist as fast
crystalliztng into extreme indigna-
ton. II we hate a Frenchman be-
cause of the torture we have been
forced to endure" said German po-
litical leader, I'VE despise spa
| ratist ten times more. However"
he added, whenever We run into a
secessionist we scent FrenchmaR."

among the population of the Ruhr.
Notwithstanding leading editorials In
the German newspapers, even as late
as Monday. predicting that there
would be a spontaneous outburst Of
disorder IL passive resistance were
abandoned Internationally, the news
of Its actual abandonment could not
have produced more undramatic
effect.
AS to whether the lack of visible
excitement was due TO stupefaction
caused by the abruptness of the Ber-
lin governments decision, or whether
the population generally fully reallz-
ed that passive resistance already had
petered out on its own accord, opin-
ion of the leading Germans today was
divided. Some of today's newspapers
declared that the governments de-
cision was the only thing to be done
and that II was really "the natural
course of events"
Other newspapers satisfy the pride
! of their readers by saying that while
Chancellor Stresemann and his cabi-
net apparently decided to give up
passive resistance, there really were
mental reservations and a successful
resumption OF the economic activities
In the Ruhr depended on how France
decided to treat the population. This
school OF newspapers took general
attitude somewhat as follows: I'VE
recognize superior force and bow to
the Inevitable, realizing we are at
the end of our material resources,

stag parties. of which the German
nationaliats alone assume an opposi-
tionaI attitude. The reactionaries
dema nded nothing short of an ulti-
matum to France and a breach of
relations unless the occupying powers
Immediately conceded the points of
honor which Stresemann sought to
make a prior condition to his sur
render of passive resistance.
The united socialists clericals, dem :
ocrats and the cEaneellor'S own party,
the German peop@'s party, sanctioned
the governments action, and while
there was scattering opposition, this
was viewed as being prompted chiefly
by reasons of personal prestige.
Active opposition from the Bava-
rian. peoples party, which neminally
votes with the clericals, is not an
ticipated,. and IL the Bavarians con-
clude to withhold their support in
the reichstag it is believed their op-
position will be of a negative char
acter.
Chancellor Strese emann's most con-
vincing argument throughout hi4 ex-
tended conversations during the fpast
forty eight hours proved to be the
official admission that passive resist
ance had been costing Germany eight
quadrillion marks weekly toward the
end. The mention of this promptly
melIowed the wavering doubters, but
the reactionaries preferred to make
an issue of the nations honor and
dignity"

LONDON Cabinet
GIVEN RUHR DATA
Secret Session Expected to
Hear Results of Baldwin
Poincare ParIey.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press y
LONDON, September 26.-Germany' s
unconditional surrender in the Ruhr
invests today's meeting of the Brit
ish cabinet with additional impor-
tance. 1t is the first cabinet council
in several weeks, during which time
events of great moment directly af-
feeting British interests have hap
pened The deliberations are secret
and no official report of them is to be
expected
II is taken for granted that the
ministers will be given full account
by Prime Minister Baldwin of his
much discussed conversation with
Premier Poincare. 1t is not supposed,
however, that the cabinet members
will be called upon to decide any i'm
portant point of policy, in view of
the present uncertainty in the situa-
tion all around. -.-.
Political writer's for the most part
refrain from speculation as to the
future. The Daily Telegraph's ex-
pert, however. is confident that
France will waive any tactical ad-
vantage she may have obtained over
Great Britain in consequence of her
successes in the Ruhr, and that Pre-
mier Poincare is ready to make con-
cessions to the Germans when the
time comes.
Editorial comment on the surrender
of Germany is very limited. The Daily
Mail raises a paean of triumph and
praise for Premier Poincare. The
Morning Chronicle, however, harshiy
scores France and the present Brit
tsh government for causing in Ger
many "a financial collapse of appall-
ing magnitude" and adds:
''The economic ruin of Germany is a
deadly blow to British trade and to
the British ideas of reconstruction.
1T is rather bad day for
England and English prestige"
The Times more than doubts wheth-
er the payment of reparations to any
of the allies appears more probable
as a result of the French success in
the Ruhr.

in Germany. This was made plain
today by an aofficial close to the
premier.
Premier Poincare has not yet sat
isfled himself that resistance is GER
taih to be abandoned, and he will
make no move respecting relations
with Germany until the change in the
German attitude. becomes demon
strated fact. 1t will then be in order
for the mine operators and heads of
the other industries in the Ruhr val
ley to conform to the program OF
the authorities of occupation. IL this
is done the way. will be open for
Germany to make proposals
1t is expected In French official cir
c'es that the Germans will insist
strongly on the return of the ex-
PEELED funetionaries to the Ruhr and
the Rhineland. The. French govern
n1ent. it Is declared = will stoutly re-
sist the return of the functionaries
who were expelled for acts of sabo-
taEe ! and encouraging rebellion
against the authorities of occupation.
Furthermore the French authorities
In the occupied area have reported
that there is no particular desire on
the part of the population of either
the Ruhr or the Rhineland to see the
Prussian officeholders return.
The political situation In Germany
as the aftermath of the decision to
1pahouH pdSSiNe resistance IN the
Ruhr is- being watched by the French
government with some anxiety, in
view. of the possibilities of ma
tfonalist movement, such as one
tending, to separate Bavaria from the
reich: the outbreak of mild boil
sheyism in Prussia and fresh i'm
petusr to the separatist movement in
the Rhineland. Should serious dis
turbances of any sort arise in the
rest of Germany, it is thought they
would most certainly have the result
of increasing the number of Rhine
fapders desiring to assure continual
ton of their tranquility by separa-
tion. - -'.'~

official circles, will not be allowed
to take sides in any conflict. as in
the absence of other military force

others are financially exhausted.
These must find credit to enable them

Leaders Lose Power.
Politically the situation is unfa-
vorable to a speedy resumption of
productivity. The authority of the
trades union leaders has been i'm
paired. Many workers, under COM
munistic influence, will make maxi
mum wage demands and probably
work badly. The municipal admins
trations, whose best talent has been
expelled by the French, will find IL
difficult to handle the reconstruction
job, where everything must be done
at once.
The separatist movement. working
vigorously and under French protec-
tion, will keep the minds of the people
constantly upset. Hence there is lit
tie reason to hope that the Ruhr can
make the immediate contributions of
reparations and materials which the
French government seems to demand.
