The new policy called forth
worldwide protest and, in Pales-
tine, the most formidable opposi-
ton yet offered by Jews to a
British policy. Extremists carried
the opposition to the point of vio-
lence. Others united in support Of
extra-legal Jewish immigration,
leading Britain in July to retaliate
by BANKING Jewish entry for the
six months beginning October L.
The White Paper and entry ban
received Parliamentary approval
by the narrowest of margins. The
League of Nations Mandates Com
mission, said to disapprove the
White Paper by majority, draft
ed a report which, at this writing,
was believed to put the question
up to the League Council. The
World Zionist Conference met in
Geneva in August to organize OPP
position to the British policy.
III. AnnihilatiOn of Reich Jews
The past year spelled the final
humiliation of Germanys Jewish
community. The fatal Wounding
of a German Embassy official in
Paris by a Jewish refugee last
November served as the signal
for wave of anti-Jewish excuses
of unprecedented fury in the
Reich. The pogroms, which ar
oused the horror of the civilized
world, were followed by a billion
mark fine and the issuance of
restrictive DEGREES, effective last
January 1, which relegated the
Jews to the status of economic
pariahs.
The Reich consolidated the
Jews distress by recognizing the
Jewish community into a central
lied Reichsvereinigung. its func-
lions centering about preparation
for emigration. During the past
year the Jews of the Reich OBJ
tanned the status of transients a.
waiting the opportunity to move
on.
III. Expansion of Reich

world and spreading anti-Semit-
ism to new territories, the Reich
in the past year gobbled up first

mat the elSnC stories, without
exception, are concerned with on
preston serves as an index to the
Jewish situation. These stories,
judged from the viewpoint of i'm
portance in Jewish history, are:
I. Palestine White Paper.
II. Annihilation of Reich Jews.
III. Expansion of Reich.
w. U. S. Leadership Against
Nazis.
V. Plight of Refugees.
VI. Intergovernmental Aid to
Refugees.
VII. Jews and the War Situa-
ton.
VIII. Growth of Anti-Semitism
in the U. S.
These developments are not iso-
lated events. They blend together
into a picture of retrogression
which a future historian will treat
as part of an age of reaction. But
as news stories, dramatic in them
selves, more striking because of
the thousands of lives they effect,
these events deserve sepa: ate
treatment.
1. Palestine White Paper
For the Jewish homeland in
Palestine the past year marked
the end of an era during which
Britain was committed to facili-
tating the establishment of the
homeland and the opening of a
new period during which the nat
ional home will be pitted against
Britain's will. Hundreds of thous-
ands of Jews outside Palestine see
in this coming struggle their only
hope for survival.
When the year 5699 opened, a
British commission was returning
to London after a survey of the
possibilities of partioning Pales-
tine. The commission reported
partition impracticable. Britain
thereupon called conferences with
Arabs and Jews to seek an ami
cable agreement These confer
ences, held in London in February
and March, failed to produce an
agreement, whereupon Britain in
May issued a White Paper provid-
ing for ultimate establishment of
an independent Palestine state
with one-third Jewish minority.

via and Slovakia, and then Memel,
bringing southeastern and part OF
eastern Europe under its sphere
of influence and acquiring new
conquests. The expansion OF the
Greater Reich, bringing prestlge
to Hitler and his policies, was
the greatest single force for the
increase in anti-Senitism through
out the world
Naturally, anti-Jewish persecu-
ton was extended to the terri
tories directly under Hitler's sway;
laws on the Nazi model and extra
legal persecution were the order OF
the day in the new Nazi provinces.
But anti-Semitism also rose in
the nominally independent coun-
tries. Hungary adopted a second
and more stringent anti-Jewish
law; Italy extended her restric-
tions on Jews.
Nv. us. Leadership Against Nazis
Beacon of hope in a darkening
world shone from the new world,
where the United States Govern
ment, under President Roosevelt's
leadership, served as bulwark a
gainst expanding Nazism. The
President stated outspokenly that
America was shocked" by the
November pogroms. Secretary
Harold L. Ickes denounced the re-
version to barbarism, and when
Germany protested, the State De-
partment backed him up. The
United States also protested "a
gainst the Reich's discrimination
against American Jews. forcing
Germany to promise to observe
existing treaties.
v. Plight of Refugees
AS a result of Germany's ruth
less persecution and oppression in
other countries, the world was
faced with a refugee problem such
as it has seldom seen. Across the
length and breadth of Europe
wandered homeless eXiles. Their
plight was most poignantly dra-
matized by two forms of refugee
ism-wandering in the "no-man's
lands" at the frontiers of Europ-
can countries and in the floating
norman Stands" the refugee
ships.
On the German-Polish, German
Hungarian. Italo-French and other
borders at various times during
the year thousands of refugees
struggled to maintain life under
the direst hardships, unwanted by
any country. Others set out in
ships to seek homelands across
the seas. One group of more than
900 aboard the German liner ST.
Louis, barred from Cuba which
had granted them landing permits,
were saved from return to the
Reich by temporary asylum in
four European countries and the
financial aid of the Joint Distribu-
ton Committee. The refugee prob
lem had implications broader than
their own suffering. Their con-
slant presence threatened the po-
sitions of resident Jews in various
countries. Their sufferings served
as a reminder to the world of the
growing bankruptcy of civiliza-
ton.
vi. IntergOvernmental Aid To
Refugees
Some 80 nations of the world
did put forth efforts, not as Wig
orous as might have been hoped,
to aid refugees. George S. Ruplee,
acting for the Intergovernmental
Refugee Committee, negotiated an
arrangement with the Reich
whereby 100000 able-bodied Jews
would be permitted to emigrate
within five years. British

In doing this we should think Of the entire medical

the hospital the central institution in which
should be housed the doctors' offices, the public

Such scheme eliminates many Implications. It
therefore reduces the total costs to the comni ty,

slider what wish it's future to be-.
The hospital was begun about two weeks prior to
the arrival of Doctor Berenberg and myself, when the
Town Council appropriated &c. 900 to begin the build
ing Of a municipal hospital. No definite plans
for the building had been completed, the exact type
service to be furnished not determined, and the
problems Of admin STEERING and stating the hospital
sti II indefinite.
During spare time gave such advice as we
could and With assistance from Doctor Mott others,
your town administration has built the nucleus Of
fine hospital. We have recognized from the start
that $1,000 was only a beginning and plan of
developing the hospital has been this,-to begin
with would equip the hospital for obstetrical
cases; to do this must have operating equipment,
50 that any obstetrical emergency be handled.
You can't hospital the hope that all cases
will be normal. Recognizing that obstetrical
alone would not keep the hospital occupied,
planned to add other services rapidly the eff
f1c1ency of h no Spital would permit and rapidly
additional doctors would added to the hospi tai
staff. We thought would begin with tonsil oper-
atoms, simple fractures, and other minor surgical
pr: cedures which would not require lot of expe1-
sive ms tr1lments and equipment. In this way the
hospital staff would organize itself and become an
efficient working unit before added expen-
sive eQlip ment and before assumed the RESPONSE
bility for the difficult and serious type of
cases.
The hospital has been open for patients
little than two months. During this time we have
had about fifteen deliveries, have performed ten
tonsi1ectomies, have cared for compound frac
ture and several simple fractures performed
several minor atoms and have treated several
medical Illnesses. This work has been done during
the season of the year which is the dull in
all hospitals. That this work has been eff GENTLY
and well done is proven by the fact that there have
been complaints of any kind.
You have been presented with the financial state

that s643.43, or 75S was spent for alterations and

years and it should be amortized peri Cd of
perhaps eight ten years.
