Gone are the days when 128 di- vorces were granted in one day. The average now is about eight, with daily marriages averaging around 72.
 Judges were busy marrying people instead of divorcing them because of the California three-day waiting period between getting the license and being married, the new Cali fornia medical examination law, and selective service act.
 But the marriage business is not what has given Reno its Hines" in plays mad movies as the worlds divorce capital. The marriages are chiefly of California couples, just young people, not 'big names," not in the social register.

tectorate" (their total number is
about 25O,OOO) cannot yet be for
seen because we do not know yet
where and how they will be hous-
ed: if in the Ghettos of Poland or
in special camps or barracks. 1t
may be that in the end their posi-
ton will be the same as that OF
the majority of the Polish Jews
under German domination: star
walton by cold, hunger, filth, i'll
treatment and epidemics, with a
minority of the younger and
stronger surviving. They will
probably become Incorporated in
the system of slave labor specially
elaborated for the Jews in Eastern
Europe. But during the transition
period the now expelled German
Jews will probably be even worse
off than the Jews already living in
Poland because they are new
corners" to the starved and over
crowded Ghettos; they don't know
the country and the language and
must try to find some place where
they can squeeze in.
At least part of them will not
be distributed among the Jewish
communities in the Polish Ghettos
but will be sent farther off to the
east, probably to the town of
Minsk- which, of course, lies in
ruins. We can easily imagine
what that means for townspeople
with their women and children
arriving there without money,
without food reserves, without
bedding and this while the Rus
sian winter sets in. 1t is murder
combined with torture.
Therefore, it can be said that
the fate of these people-or at
least of part of them-is even

DEMOCRACIES MUST
RAISE VOICES

The great democracies must
make their voices heard in con-
nection with the latest brutalities
committed against the Jews-as
was the case when the French
hostages were shot.
Perhaps that was a different
story: the Germans spared one
hundred Frenchmen to make it
easier for Darlan. They are much
less interested in sparing 100 or
100000 Jews, because there is no
Jewish Darlan. Nevertheless the
responsible statesmen of the de-
mocracies should not-as thew
have done hitherto-avoid the is

invasion were shut off in the
Ghettos of Warsaw and other
towns. How the expulsion is done
has been described.
First, the Jews of Berlin, Bres-
lau, Vienna and other places re-
ceive a warning that they must
give up their homes or flats.
Then, one day, the Gestapo ar
rlves and gives them between 10
minutes and few hours to pack
up and present themselves with
their handbags at the nearest po-
lice station. In Berlin they are
then taken to the synagogue IN
Levetzow Strasse, where they
have to stay overnight. There
are some straw mattresses on the
floor. The community distributes
some food. The children are TAX
en- up to the women's gallery
and so the night passes. Next
morning they are sent in police
cars to the station and packed off
in old third-class carriages to
their place of destination.
In Frankfurt-am-Main the heads
of the men are shaved, while
razors were taken away from
them with the remark: Where
you go, you may wear boards"
Christian circles in Switzerland
have sent letter to the Internal
ional Red Cross asking for imme-
date action. The Red Cross can
do very little. 1t is ready to help
where the Government puts no
| difficulties in it's way-as for in
stance in Lubiana, where the Red
! Cross is doing excellent work for
the refugees from Yugoslavia. But
what can it do against the will
of the Gestapo?
The terrible situation in Croatia
and Old Serbia is even worse than
in Germany and Poland, as it is
also in Slovakia, where after a
certain lull the appropriation and
persecution are again in full
swing.
In Rumania many thousands
have been tortured and murdered,
first by the Iron Guards and now
by the occupying troops in the re-
conquered territories; while most
of the Jewish property has been
confiscated.
There are also forebodings of
new prosecutions in France. After
all the legal" measures against
the Jews in unoccupied France
and the usual Vexations, arrests
and imprisonments in concentra-
ton camps of many thousands of
Jews in occupied France, there
seems to be something bigger
in preparation.
