An unrecorded number of Jews have
left Germany for Poland. These most

Polish government has been specifically
energetic In protecting their interests,
partly, no doubt. out Of belated hu-

fort to capitalize a strategical advan-

A considerable number OF German
refugees are in Czechoslovakia. mainly
because of frontier conditions. which
enable them to escape from the Reich

Karlsbad, the heart of the Czech Ger

The danger of the triumph Of Hitler
ism In Austria has deferred the Ger

asylum in what would seem the most
logical place-Vienna. The Austrian
capital has always been a favorite
refuge of political exiles, and the COM
mon language of Germany and Austria
should have been an additional in
ducement. However. the emigres were
not anxious to taste the joys Of an
Austrian concentration camp in prefer

ONCERN over the status of Rus
sian refugees here who were
identified with the Czarist
~ regime stirs their friends In
this country, now that United
States recognition of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics has been ac-
corded. Several organizations are seek
ing to clarity their anomalous plight.
The National League for American
Citizenship, founded 20 years ago to aid
aliens, is receiving many applications
for advice and help.
Other associations and groups of the
former residents of the old realm of
Russia are considering what may be
done to avert deportations which may
mean disaster. An Americana Russian
Committee, it was announced this last
week, Is in process Of formation. Its
object would be to correiate the various
activities In behalf of the exiles and to
urge an amendment to the existing i'm
migration laws Of the United States.
Those former subjects of the Cars
are called White Russians" collective
ly, not for geographical reasons but to
distinguish them from persons Of other
political compilations. With the waves
OF popular uprising in the Russias,
many of the aristocratic and we'll to do
classes took refuge in other lands. A
general exodus came with the revo-
luton of November Z, 1917, which ush-
cred in the present Soviet rule In the
turmoil of bolshevism hundreds of the
opponents of the rebellion had been
executed and their property confiscated
Members Of the nobility, former officers
OF the Imperial Guard and similar ad-
herents to the old traditions were glad
to escape with their lives.
1t is estimated that at least 1000 900
persons left Russia as q result of the
overthrow Of the old order. Some au-
thorities declare that probably twice
as many became exiles. The White
Russians" are scattered today in all
sections of the globe. Probably from
250, 900 to 100000 went to Czechoslo-
vakia and Balkan countries. As Rus
slams are of Slavic origin those lands
were logical places of haven for them.
France has fully 100000 of the exileS
from old Russia and Germany approxi-
tmately $4,000. Paris, Prague, Berlin
and London have their colonies of Rus
sian refugees. Many thousands are in
China and Japan.

As the months wore on and ever more
refugees asked for admission-which. by
the way, is granted to them. even
though they have no passport and visa
the French began to worry. What were
the German emigres doing in the
strategically most important regions
the Saar Basin and flsace Lorraine?
Granted that they hated the Hitler
regime. what would they do in case OF
war between France and the Reich?
Would it not be dangerous to have key
industries run by Germans in the most
vulnerable part of France?
These worries of political nature
were matched by the worries Of the in
dustrialists of the border regions. The
Chamber of Commerce Of Metz has
made energetic protest against the Ger
man refugees, who are described as
undesirable aliens" The Chamber Of
Commerce Of Strasburg Is demanding
the denunciation Of the Franco
convention Of 1927, granting moSt-fa-

Return to School Faced.
The French physicians went into the
offensive by invoking the LEX AM
bruster," which makes it necessary for
foreign practitioners not only to start
their university education all over again,
but also to study the subjects of the last
year of high school, A German univer-
sity professor with a worldwide repu-
tation may be made to 60 to school for
five years unless the government inter-
venes In his favor.
The emigres have spent most Of the
few marks they were allowed to bring
out Of Germany, and probably the ma
jority of them are living on charity.
Some Of the refugees are so poor that
they have never seen the inside Of q
subway. I, myself. have known one of
them whose average daily earning as q
newsboy was francs. Many are look
ing wan, and the suicide rate Is high
Pauperization is progressing rapidly in
their ranks and the coming Winter may
see many Of them without overcoats
and in rags.
Scores of refugees are crossing the
frontiers every day, and even more of
them escape during the night. Across
mountains and through the woods they
struggle toward what seems to them
the light Of liberty. What most Of them
fnd Is misery and. perhaps, burial In q
paupers' grave. Their story is one of
the darkest chapters of Europe's post

laws a very large number of the emigres
are physicians and lawyers, whose
bread was taken out of their mouths
Some of them are voluntary exiles in
the sense that they chose to fight for a
living in a foreign country rather than
die OF hunger in their native land
Even though many OF them were al

About so per cent OF the German
emigres are intellectuals," was told by
Hellmut Won Gerlach. former secretary
Of state in Posen and now one of the
two German representatives on the
French League of the Rights of Man
an exile himself. And how are the re-
hgions represented among the refugees?
Herr Won Gerlach thinks that about rs
per cent Of them are Jews. while others
are of the opinion that the percentage
Of the other religions is somewhat
higher. Among the refugees are not a
few Catholics, who we're prominently
identified with the Center and with the
Bavarian Peoples party

The number OF German refugees was
estimated at the recent meeting of the
League OF Nations to be about 10000.
They are scattered all over the globe.
France is the greatest reservoir of the
emigres. and the countries next in i'm
portance are Holland. Switzerland and

Daily the number of exiles is grow

much as they are attached to their
fatherland, majority OF the Reich's
100000 Jews would like to leave the
country, to await the return of better
times outside of the German pale

From the Louvre in Paris the
most famous American painting in
the world - Whistler's beloved
"Mother"-is coming to Chicago for
the 1888 Worlds Fair.
During the Century of Progress
Exposition, this masterpiece will
command the exhibition in the Art
Institute of Chicago, which has been
officially designated as the Fine Arts
building of the Fair.
1t is particularly fitting that the
memory of Whistler should be so
honored in Chicago. The great art
lists grandfather, Capt. John
Whistler, led the troops that came
to Chicago in 1903 to build Fort
Dearborn, and remained in COM
mand of the new frontier fort until
April, 1910. Whistler's father spent
his earliest years in the new fort.
The success of his regime led one
historian to refer to Capt. John
Whistler as the father of Chicago"
Captain Whistler was such an i'm
portant figure in the early settle
ment that it was once proposed to
call the village "Whistlerville" in
his honor.
Returning recently from second
tour of the principal galleries and
collections of America, Robert B
Harshe, director of the Art Insti
tute, and Daniel Cation Rich, asso
ciate curator of paintings, an
nounced that the Worlds Fair i:
assured the greatest exhibition o.

Directors of the public and semi
public galleries of the country are

the visiting throngs the rarest treas.

A century ago there were few
great pictures in America. To-day

issue the scrip in return for goods
or services provided by unem-
ployed. This type of scrip is ex-
changeable among unemployed, at
organization commissaries, and at
certain stores and organizations
agreeing to accept a limited
amount.
The third form, municipal scrip,
is another form of tax warrant,
with or without interest, allowing
the municipality to borrow against
anticipated revenues.
Municipal Scrip
The municipal type of scrip is
an emergency loan proposition,
requires careful supervision, a
definite limit as to amount and
time and careful accounting to
the reports received by the bureau.
1t is reported to the bureau that
it has been looked upon with dis
favor because of the fact it
tends to create "cheap money!"
allows further indebtedness on the
part of city or town, and ties up
future receipts.
Persons who have studied the
workings of scrip and attempted
to expand the application, report
that obstacles to the general use
of scrip are the fact that it's ac-
ceptance must be entirely volun-
tary and that there is generally no
proper provision for suitable
clearing houses to prevent dam
ming up of the certificates in the
hands of a few merchants or
banks.
Lack of Coordination
Other objections reported are
the lack of coordinated plan in
any locality acceptable to others
in a large trading area, general
conflict between municipal issues
| as against self-liquidating issues
and definite danger of overissue
and inability to redeem scrip on
time.
Scrip is also LIMITED in its use.
Municipal and State laws which
have been enacted in previous
years prohibit its use in certain
instances.
Margin for Operation
Users of "seIf-help" scrip point
out that the use of actual leash"
illegal tender) is thus virtually
done away with. At the same time,
they claim that it enables mer-
chants with surplus goods of out
NODDED styles, etc, and producers
of goods Farmers, manufac-
turersl to exchange their sur
pluses either for other goods or
for labor, and even for profess
sional services.
1t is claimed that at the barter
organizations, goods are received
at prices governed by local whole
sale and retail prices on the open
market. Goods credit" "labor
credit" or scrip is issued, re-
deemable at the exchange for
other goods, or for labor of I'M
employed. Prices paid for COM
modities must allow for sufficient
operating margin between cost
and exchange value at the unem-
ployed exchange commissary to
make the exchange self-sustain-
ing.
