COMMERCE CHAMBER BAN
BY TURKEY UNEXPLAINED
Shocked American Business Men
There Mention Their Pleas for
Ratifying Lausanne Treaty.

BY the Associat Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE. August r.
The action of the Turkish govern
ment in ordering the closing of all
Chambers of Commerce, as reported
in dispatches from Angora, the Turk
ish capital, has come as a considera-
BILE shock to American business in
terests here. Thus far British Of
ficials have declined to suggest the
rea sons for the orders.
American business men are inclined
to point out ironically that their
Chamber of Commerce has taken the
lead in urging American ratification
Of the treaty of Lausanne. Inas-
much s,the government orders close
also the British, French and Italian
chambers, it is thought that the Turk
ish government viewed these COM
mercial organizations as perpetuation
of the principle of eXtraterritoriality
whose abolition was sanctioned by
the treaty of Lausanne.

"TATA AND XXI"
BANNED FROM CODE
Little Whiskers'' Orders French
Foreign Office to Seek New

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 27.-The French
foreign office has just changed its pri-
vate code for secret diplomatic CORE
spondence, because of an astounding
discovery made by Premier Poincare.
who is this person 'Tata' referred
to in this diSpatch?" the premier
asked a young attache-
"Tchicherin. Monsieur LIE Presi-
dent" was the reply. "And Kiki?"
the premier continued. That's our
code word for Trotsky." Then fol-
lowed the translation of Monmouche.

them nicknames in vogue in the pro-
tocol.

name do I draw" The young at
tache blushed, and finally blurted:
'Barbichon." Barbichon means in
French ''The Little Bearded One" or
Little Whiskers" The premier
never cracked a smile. The next day,
however, M. BRAND, the foreign min.
lister. received the following note:
Dear Lulu, please ask your young
collaboratorS henceforth to choose
their code names from Greco Roman
mythology rather than from among
their little girl friends. Ever yours.

Religions on Equal Footing.

The constitution of Weimar definite
ly took from the Christian churches
the character of state religions and
eQualiZed all corporate religious COM
munitieS. For the first time in PruS-
sian history and in the history of the
Jews the rabbi has been put on an
equal footing generally and as re-
ligious teacher. with the Christian
pastors and priests. Henceforth new
items appear in the state budget:
Salary for the rabbis, their pensions,
allowance for their widows and or
phanS, and subsidies for the Jewish re-
ligious instruction.
Thus equalization of Judaism and
Christian churches was declared in
principle and formally realized
through the insertion of the supple
mentary words, land for the syna-
gogue congregations after the
olic churches
In view of this unusual success one
might conclude that anti-Semitism In
Germany is dying out, or at least
rapidly dimishing.
But this is not the case. The in
tensity of anti-Semitism increases and
is gaining ground.
One of the main reasons may be
sought in the influx of "Ost-Juden"
Galician jews in Germany, although
it is a historical fact that Gen. Lu-
dendorff is to be blamed for the inn
migration Of the lost -Juden." When
Ludendorff, now leader of the Ger
man extreme nationalists, went to
Poland in the Autumn of 1914 he Is
sued an edict in Yiddish in which he
said: Equal rights for Jews will be
built on solid foundations" and sub
sequently he sent thousands of them
into Germany to work in the war in
dustrieS, where hands were urgently
needed.
After the war the "Ost-Juden"
started business on their own hook.
They prospered during the time of IN
f1ation, but after stabiliZation they
could no longer keep up their busi-
neSSeS, since they were founded with
out any solid capital.
Are League Proteges.
AS far as these "Ost-Juden" were
Russian-born they succeeded in OBJ
tanning so-called "Nansen passports"
from the League of Nations, and with
these they could leave Germany. But
the ma jority were mostly natives of
Cialacia, which had been part Of Po-
land. The Polish government refused
to recognize them as Polish nationals
and the Austrian government washed
it's hands of them.
The situation of the "Ost-Juden"
who are compelled to stay in Ger.
many, as repatriation is impossible,
Is most precariouS. Their permits
must be renewed from year to year;
practically they have no fatherland
and actually they cannot get over the
frontier. as they have no passports.
The "Ost-Juden" are regarded by
the native German-Jews as most un-
welcome guests, who, owing to their
present predicament, are an encroach-
ment upon the rights and economic
condition of the German-JewS. The
"Ost-Juden" are held responsible for
the growing anti-Semitism. And even
rabbis from the pulpit have not with
held their aversion against these poor
and homeless creatures.

JEWS IN GERMANY
WIN RECOGNITION
Republic Recognizes Church
and Makes Provision in
Budget for Rabbis.
BY ADOLPH KONTI.

Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyright 1926.
BERLIN, Germany, October 30.
After a tenacious struggle under
Germany's republican government the
Jewish synagogue communities were
finally put on an even basis with
the hitherto dominating Christian
churches.
Although the state church was prac-
tically abolished in Prussia in 184S,
the Catholic and Protestant churches
were regarded as official The sala-
ries and expenses of ecclesiastical dig
nitaries, expenditure for religious in
struction and for the education Of
pastors and religious teachers were
borne by the state. About 100, 1000 900
marks were paid yearly to the Chris
tian churches for their particular pur
poses.
The Jewish religion was excluded
from the regulations. The state
ignored it and allowed nothing for re-
ligious instruction, teachers or rabbis
within the German-Jewish communi-
ties
