DESCRIBES PLIGHT
OF JEWS IN EUROPE
Dr.. Kahn Says Hundreds oil
Thousands Are Facing
Poverty and Hunger.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November IS. - DR.
Bernard Kahn in a statement today
said Jews of Eastern and Central Eu-
rope face crisis which may readily
develop into an "irremediable cataS-
trophe" as the outgrowth Of world
economic conditions.
DR.. Kahn, who is European director
of the American Jewish Joint Distribu-
ton Committee, outlined the situation
which confrontS the organization he
represents before he was to sail on
his return to Europe to resume his
activities in Jewish relief work
The misery of millions Of men, wom-
en- and children in these lands he said,
has increased to a point where dire
consequences must result If nothing is
done to bring relief to these peoples.
A new wave Of poverty among the Jews
is sweeping all over Europe, he added.
Asks Continued Support.
DR.. Kahn recently came to this
country to report to Jewish leaders the
plight of Jews abroad, after he had
made a tour of the countries in East
ern and Central Europe.
He asked for continued support Of
the work launched by the organization
in the various fields Of social recon-
struction, emphasizing the urgent need
Of help at this time.
The American Jewish Joint Distribu-
ton Committee like the American Red
Gross, is a worldwide organization car
rying on relief and social welfare work
among the Jews the world over, and
has as its head Felix M. Warburg 1t
was organized in 1914, and since that
time has expended over $4,000, 900
raised from American Jewry for relief
and reconstruction work among their
co-religionists in foreign countries
In his farewell statement to the Jews
of America, DR.. Kahn pointed out that
in Poland alone 100, 900 Jewish families
with about $4,000 children are now
on the verge of starvation. Practically
half of Polish Jewry is now without
work and in the last few years, he said,
10000 Jewish merchants and Industrial
lists were forced to close their shops
and factories.
100000 Suffer In Rumania.
In Rumania, he said, 10000 face
poverty and in Subcarpathia there is
intense suffering among the 10000 Jews
in that country. Destitution is in
creasing among the Jews, he added in
CZechoSlovakia, Latvia, Austria, Hun
gary and now in Germany, where for
merly a rich Jewish life existed.
"A new wave OF poverty is sweeping

every country is affected and the sit
uation among the Jews in these lands
is much more tragic than at any time
since the World War.
Although the Jews in the various
countries do their utmost to help them
selves, the possibility for self-help is
very limited. Jews who were once rich
have been reduced to poverty. yet the
poor man gives to the still poorer. The
Jewish communities, too, are without
means and cannot come to the rescue"

900 tons. Upon it's incorporation in- to the Polish economic areas, Danzig started to develop rapidly, till in 1929 it's tonnage was 9,OO0,0OO, it being the only port which has quadrupleG it's pre-war tonnage.
 The rapid development of the re- born Polish state. however, was such that the facilities provided by the port of DanZig were not sufficient and 1t was necessary to establish on the Baltic another port-Gdynia - in order to secure free movement of goods. The development of this port since it's inception in 1924 took very rapid strides, so that after only five years it's annual tonnage had reached the remarkable figure of 3,000,000 tons.
 There are still broader economic aspects of the problem. If We ad- init that the Polish nation has a right to really independent existence, then we should concede that this na- tion-a nation of narly thirty-two million inhabitants, or nearly half the population of Germany-has .l right to free and secure access to the sea. The value of such access for economic and political reasons is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-27

unquestioned. Germany has more than sixty first-class ports to serve her 1,488 kilometers of sea frontiers, while Poland has only 76 kilometers of coast and one purely Polish port, Gdynia, and the use of the port of Danzig. For a country half the size of Germany this does not seem too much.
 As to the chief criticism, that the Polish Corridor disfigures the map and separates from the German mainland province called East Prussia (which by the way once belonged to Poland) this of course IS true. However, it is important to realize that while the population of all Germany is about sixty-two mill lions, that of East Prussia is only little over two millions, and that this agricultural and remote province even before the war formed a sort of peninsula of the German Empire and was even then for practical pur- poses separated from the Reich. Even before 1914, deu to it's remote ness, East Prussia possessed d marked colonial character, and due to this remoteness, combined with the cheapness of water transporta- tion, commerce between East Prussia and the German mainland was usual ly carried on by boat rather than by rail. To supplement this communi- cation, East Prussia is now con- nected by direct railway to Berlin through the Polish Corridor, which arrangement has been assured Ger

 It might be suspected that for
 some astute German minds not only the so-called Polish Corridor but the whole of Poland is a Corridor" that blocks Germany's imperial dream of domination expressed Tn her well-known slogan, "Drang mach Osten," and that is the reason for the steady bombardment of anti Polish propaganda.
 Critics of the Polish Corridor who get excited over the matter mostly
 on the basis of pity for Germany should follow an odd Latin maxim. "Audiatur ct altera pars"; in other words, they should take into con sideration also the arguments on the other side. These, as was pointed out, prove that while for Germany the present arrangement is un- doubtedly an inconvenience and also matter of wounded pride, for Po- land it is matter of its very exis- tence.
 I1e SIldll reCe1V0 no grace OI Sdl- vation whom loves does not sustain. It is love that creates laws. rules nations, builds cities and leads the republic to her destinies." This is not part of a theological disserta- tion but words actually written in a political document--the treaty of | union between the Polish kingdom
 and the principality of Luthuania in 1413. This Christian attitude of the Polish people even in politics has not | changed. The Polish people are by
 nature very peaceful. They desire to live on the best terms with all
 their neighbors and to be permitted to work out their own detsinies. They have earned their independence. They do not covet what belongs to their neighbors, but they have Il boundless attachment for the land of their fathers and, as a united na- tion, will resent any encroachment | upon it.
 | It is to be hoped that the great German nation, the nation of Schiller and Goethe, of Carl Schurz | and the idealists of the revolution of 1848, will throw off the shackles of
 chauvinism and imperialism which since the day of the Pyrrhic victory | of 1870 have bound it, and realize

many by the treaty of Versailles and special German-Polish convention.
 That this treaty arrangement is successful for all practical purposes is attested by Dr Holz, high off,. cial in the Reich's railway adminis- tration, who in a pamphlet entitled "rhe Economic Life of Eastern Prussia and the Means of Commun- ication before and since the war" says: Ut may be stated with satis- faction that owing to the steps taken by the railway administration of the Reich in conjunction with the Polish ties connected with transit have been abolished. This is why Eastern Prussia, from the standpoint of tram sit, is not isolated. The Reich rail- road has built a bridge across Polish territory" The privileged transit trains on which travellers may jour- ney from Germany to East Prussia without being subjected to any cus- toms inspection carry annually ap- proximately six hundred thousan1 passengers. On the other hand the number of travellers sailing on the Stettin- Konigsberg line, totals only five thousand per annum, which would seem to prove that the terrors or travel across the Corrldor are not so great as some critics would have us suppose. American correspond ents who have written lurid descrip- tions of their difficulties in crossing. must have chosen, either through ignorance or design, the inconvenient local trains.
 Because of its scanty population, it's agricultural character, it's natural remoteness, its previous usage of water rather than rail for communi- cation with the Reich, the economic life neither of this East Prussian cononey nor of its German mainland has suffered to any appreciable ex- tent as result of the restoration to Poland of her old province of Pom erania. If it is true that the so- called Polish Corridor cuts off Eas. Prussia from its mainland. then it is no less true that East Prussia, in turn, to greater degree cuts off Poland for practical purposes from free access to the Baltic Sen.
 The foregoing clearly shows that the outcry against the Polish Corri- dor has no real justification. We may venture, however, to suggest that the primary reasons of Ger many's dissatisfaction are wounded pride and lack of love for her east

lows because they couldn't
give them away"
According to Mr.. Everitt, most
of the ostrich feathers used in
this country come from Africa.
At the end of the World War
the industry was booming with,
according to his figures, nearly
100000 birds ready for the
shearers. Today there are less
than 10000 in perfect feather.
Birds to Get Break
The feathers are not pIucked
but sheared like wool. The shear
ing takes place twice q year,
eight ounces Of feathers being
taken from the tail and wings.
The new mode in hats probar
bly, will result in one good break
for the birds, however.
In recent years, with the
feather market at such low
tide, many were killed for their
hides-the vogue for ostrich
leather bags and bill folders
having increased the demand for
their skins.
