THE BOARD OF DEPUTIES OF BRITISH JEWS.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1933•

INTRODUCTION.

was dominated and ־ The work of the Board during1933 overshadowed by the tragedy which overwhelmed the Jews in Germany. The effects of the catastrophe were felt in almost every branch of the Board's activities, and ־from the month of March onwards there was no meeting throughout the year at which the subject did not give rise to keen and protracted discussion. The attitude of the Board towards the persecution and degradation of the German Jews was clearly defined by the President in his statement at the meeting of the Board in March :— "OUR quarrel is not with Germany as a State. The Germans have a right to choose their own forms of Government arid to conduct the administration of their State in accordance with their own political views. What we do quarrel with is their discriminating, be it de facto or de jure, against German citizens or denizens of the Jewish faith, and we will resist such discrimination." " In the name of humanity we cannot stand passive and watch the creation of a rank or grade of second-class citizens or denizens." " We, in conjunction with our German brethren, wish the German people well. We desire to see them on the high road of tranquillity, happiness and prosperity, but we must insist that German citizens and denizens of the Jewish faith march shoulder to shoulder along that road in one and the same status with non-Jewish citizens and denizens." 30

This remains the fixed policy of the Board. The President paid visits during the year to a number of provincial centres for the purpose of explaining the Board's policy, and also addressed a number of meetings in London. These visits were cordially welcomed every- where, and proved a useful means of bringing the Board in close touch with the views and needs of the provincial communities. The experience gained indicates the desirability of maintaining this contact by periodic visits in the future. The increased burden thrown upon the Joint Foreign Committee as a result of the German crisis, and the neces- sitv of providing relief for the refugees who sought a haven in this and other countries, led to a number of developments, of which the most important were : (1) the setting up by the Committee of a number of Sub- Committees to deal with special aspects of the problem ; (2) the enlargement of the Committee by the co-option of a number of leading Jewish personalities ; and (3) the setting up of the Central British Fund for German Jewry. It was upon the initiative of the Committee that the Conference for the Relief of German Jewry, perhaps the most outstanding event of the year in the Board's activities, was convened in October. The Committee also took a leading part in the negotiations which led to the appointment by \ the League of Nations of a High Commissioner for German Refugees. Of the many other topics which engaged the Board ,s attention during the year, three—the growth of anti- Semitism, the defence of Shechita and the question of 31

immigration into Palestine—may be singled out as of particular importance. The first and last were closely associated with the German crisis, and the other was inti- mately related to the passage of the Slaughter of Animals Act. Of these, and of the various other aspects of the Board's activities, a full account will be found in the Re- ports of the various Committees.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.

At the first meeting of the year, Mr. Neville J. Laski, K.C. (Fulham and Kensington) was elected President of the Board in succession to Mr. O. E. d'Avigdor Goldsmid, D.L., J.P. The lamented death of Mr. B. S. Straus, J.P., in August, left a vacancy in the office of Treasurer, which was temporarily filled by Mr. Leonard G. Montefiore, O.B.E. At an election held at the meeting of the Board in October, Mr. M. Gordon Liverman, J.P. (Dublin United), was elected to succeed Mr. Straus.

In October, on the motion of Mr. Percy Cohen (Associa- tion of Jewish Friendly Societies), a Special Committee was set up " to enquire into and report on the administrative machinery of the Board, with particular reference to its effectiveness for dealing with the problems created by the present crisis." The Committee had not completed its deliberations at the close of the year.

OBITUARY.

At its meeting in October the Board passed the following resolutions :— ' 'THAT this Board desires to place on record its sense of the heavy loss it has suffered through the death of Mr. 32

BERTRAM STUART STRAUS, J.P., Treasurer of the Board since 1926; its appreciation of the manifold services rendered by him to the Board during the 29 years of Ms membership; and its deep sympathy with his relatives and friends in their bereavement. The Board deplores the loss of a wise counsellor and comrade whose ripe experience and wide knowledge of affairs were of the greatest value to his colleagues in solving the many problems with which they had to deal."

"THAT this Board records its deep sorrow at the death, within a few months of that of his distinguished son, of Sir PHILIP MAGNUS, Bart.,'for 30 years a member of the- Board and a Vice-President from 1917 to 1919. Sir Philip's services to the cause of education and his public work fox the University of London made him an outstanding figure of his generation and added lustre to his name and to the community to which he belonged. Though he had severed active relationship with the Board, his services as a member of its various Committees will ever be remembered with appreciation. The Board's sympathies go out to his daughter, Mrs. F. S. Franklin, and to other members of his family in their bereavement."

the year the death ״The Board also had to deplore during of the following Deputies : Mr. H. Bernhardt Cohen (Borough Synagogue, London, 1916); Mr. Moss Davis ; (ation, New Zealand, 1914־Auckland Hebrew Congreg) Mr. H. Silman (Bradford Hebrew Congregation, 1931); Sir Alexander W. Prince, K.B.E. (Dover Hebrew Congre- gation, 1904); Mr. Laurie Magnus (West London Syna- gogue, 1919, member of the Law, Parliamentary and General Purposes Committee, and Acting-Chairman of the Press Committee); Mr. Abraham Lyons (Swansea Hebrew Congregation, 1931) ; and Mr. D. A. Lyttleton (Chapel- town Synagogue, Leeds, February, 1933).

Votes of condolence were also passed upon the deaths of Dr. A. Eichholz, C.B.E., formerly Chief Medical Inspec- tor of the Board of Education; Sir Edward Stern, Bart.,, 33 a distinguished figure in national and Jewish communal affairs; Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, member of the Executive of the Zionist Organisation and the Jewish Agency for Palestine; Dr. Leo Motzkin, President of the Comite des Delegations Juives and Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency for Palestine; and Dr. Ludwig Tietz, a prominent member of the Zentral Ausschuss fur Hilfe und Aufbau, of Berlin.

VOTES OF CONGRATULATION.

The Board welcomed opportunities during the year to congratulate the Chief Rabbi on the attainment of the 20th anniversary of his induction into office ; Mr. Nathan Laski, J.P., upon the attainment of his 70th birthday and the conferment upon him by Manchester University of the degree of M.A. (honoris causa); Sir Samuel Gluckstein upon the conferment of his Knighthood; Dr. Claude Montefiore upon the attainment of his 75th birthday; Alderman I. N. Jacobs and Mr. S. G. Joseph upon their election as Sheriffs of the City of London ; and Councillor M. E. Waldman, J.P., upon his election as Deputy-Mayor of the Borough of Hackney.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD.

On March 16th, 1934, the Board consisted of 317 Deputies, representing 89 London Synagogues, 122 Pro- vincial Synagogues, 9 Colonial Synagogues and 14 Institu- tions. 34

CERTIFICATION OF MARRIAGE SECRETARIES.

The President, in accordance with his statutory duty, continued to certify to the Registrar-General the appointment of Marriage Secretaries of Synagogues.

The following Synagogues appointed Marriage Secre- taries for the first time :— Sefton Park Hebrew Congregation, Liverpool. Ezras Chaim Synagogue, London. Gladstone Park and Neasden Synagogue, London. Springfield Synagogue, London. Sellel and Psalms Synagogue, Manchester.

SHOCHETIM.

In virtue of the L.C.C. Bye-laws, the President again issued annual certificates to Shochetim, licensed by the Ecclesiastical Authorities and exercising their functions within the Administrative County of London.

ALIENS' COMMITTEE.

At a meeting of the Board in December, 1932, the ques- lion of the status of children of naturalized British subjects was raised by a member of the Board. The matter was < referred to a Sub-Committee consisting of the President and Mr. I. Landau, and it was decided that its report, in the form of a memorandum, prepared by the latter (Appendix I), should form the basis of the representations to be made to the Home Office, when a suitable opportunity presented itself. In May, following a statement by 35 the Secretary of State for the Dominions, that amendment to the British Nationality kand Status of Aliens' Act was contemplated, a letter was addressed to the Home Secre- tary inviting attention to the anomalous position of minor children of naturalized aliens in cases where the certificate of naturalization granted to the parent was subsequently revoked. At the invitation of the authorities, a deputation, consisting of Mr. H. S. Schildkraut, Mr. I. Landau, Mr. C. H. L. Emanuel and the Secretary, visited the Home Office on July 5th and discussed the matter with the per- rnanent officials of the Department. The following letter was subsequently received :— HOME OFFICE, WHITEHALL. 11th July, 1933. Sir, I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that he has given careful consideration to your letter of the 17th May, regarding the status of minor children of naturalized British where the certificate of naturalization־ subjects in cases granted to the parent has been revoked. The legal position in the matter is correctly stated in the memorandum which accompanies your letter, viz., that the Secretary of State has power to direct that in such circumstances children who are minors shall cease to be British subjects, whether they acquired their British nationality by birth or by the naturalization of their parents. Statistics are not available as to the number of natural born British children who have •been deprived of their British nationality in this way since 1918. All cases of revocation during the past three years have, however, been examined, and it appears that in no case has a British-born child been deprived of his nationality if he was resident in this country. The power in question has, in fact, been used only in cases where the parent's certificate has been revoked on account of residence abroad for not less than seven years, and in sucih cases, where the family has become established in some other country, it seems right that the unity of the family as regards nationality should not be impaired and that the children should in due course acquire the nationality of the country 36

in which they will have received their education and up- bringing. I am to make it clear that there is no rigid rule in the matter, and while it is not the practice to deprive of British, nationality any natural-born British child who is resident in this country, it is the duty of the Secretary of State to consider each case on its merits; and he is of the opinion that the general power of reviewing the position of children when the naturalization certificate of the parent is revoked is a. power which may, from time to time, be exercised with, advantage both to the State and to the children concerned. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, (signed) A. MAXWELL..

Towards the end of 1932 the attention of the Committee was drawn to the difficulties of aliens in securing accommodation in housing estates under the control of the L.C.C. The policy of the Council was governed by Regulation 271, which laid down that, subject to the rights of persons of the working class displaced by the Council to have the first refusal of a tenancy in any of the Council's dwellings, preference in the letting of accommodation on its several housing estates was to be given to British subjects. After careful consideration and consultation with communal ־workers associated with public bodies and with experience ׳of the housing problem in London, the Committee decided to seek legal advice on the validity of the Regulation, and the matter was referred to the Law, Parliamentary and General Purposes Committee. On the recommendation of that Committee, Counsel's opinion was taken and, this proving unfavourable, the matter was dropped.

In February, the Home Secretary made an order, under Article 14, of the Aliens' Order, 1920, exempting alL 37 women who, having been British subjects, were deemed to be aliens by reason only of having married aliens, from the requirement of registration with the police. This was followed in June by a British Nationality and Status of Aliens' Bill for the purpose of giving effect to the Hague Convention, signed on 12th April, 1930, relating to the national status of married women. Though the Bill did not entirely meet the wishes of the women's organisations, it met with little opposition and received the Royal Assent on 17th November, 1933. Section I of the Bill introduced a new Section 10 of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens' Act, 1914, and sub-section (5) thereof provides :—

"WHERE, after the end of the year nineteen hundred and thirty-three, a certificate of naturalization is granted to an alien, his wife, if not already a British subject, shall not be deemed to be a British subject, unless within the period of twelve months from the date of the certificate, or within such longer period as the Secretary of State may in special circumstances allow, she makes a declaration that she desires to acquire British nationality."

Parliamentary interest in aliens' matters was consider- ably stimulated during the year by the influx of a number of refugees from Germany, following the advent of the Hitler regime. The Government found itself unable to relax the ordinary restrictions on the admission of aliens and, in consequence, entry was mainly confined to those who had sufficient means to maintain themselves and to students and others who looked for a temporary haven before seeking a livelihood elsewhere. The care and assistance of these refugees did not fall within the province of the Aliens' Committee and the necessary measures were undertaken first by the Jews' Temporary Shelter and later 38 by the Jewish Refugee Committee. Close contact was, however, maintained with these bodies, and the Commit- tee desires to place on record its warm admiration and appreciation of their activities.

The Advisory Committee on the Admission of Ecclesiastical Officials continued to function throughout the year and dealt with a considerable number of cases. All the recommendations made by the Committee were accepted by the Home Office.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE.

TANGIER SCHOOLS.

The supervision of the English teaching in the Schools of the Jewish Community of Tangier continued to engage the close attention of the Committee. Mr. Pollen's reports indicated that, in spite of a crowded curriculum and conse- quent difficulties in the apportionment of time, the stan- dard of English in the Schools was well maintained. The appreciation of the local Jewish community for the facilities afforded for learning English has been shown by the readiness with which old pupils of the schools have enrolled themselves in an evening continuation class conducted by Mr. Pollen.

EDUCATION OF JEWISH CHILDREN IN INDIA.

The imminence of political reforms in India gave rise to some uneasiness in the minds of the Jewish communities of that country that the facilities previously enjoyed by 9ב

Jewish children for participation in the so-called " European " type of education would no longer be continued. It was also felt that the schools of the Jewish communities, which had hitherto been looked after by the Inspector of European Schools, would be adversely affected by the proposed arrangements for the setting up of Provincial and Inter-Provincial Boards, and would be in grave danger of losing the grants formerly enjoyed by them. In these circumstances, a request was addressed to the Board of Deputies by Mr. D. J. Cohen, a member of the Legislative Council of Bengal, that the Board should interest itself in the matter and lend its support to the demand for adequate protection of the interests of the Jewish schools. At the instance of the Committee, Sir Philip Hartog addressed a communication to the Secretary of State for India, urging the representation of the Jewish communities, particularly of Bombay and Bengal, on the Provincial and Inter-Provincial Boards. A reply was received indicating that the position of the Jewish communities would be adequately safeguarded.

EXAMINATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR JEWISH CANDIDATES.

As in previous years, the Committee was called upon to make special arrangements for Jewish candidates who were unable to sit for examinations held on Saturdays or Jewish Holydays.

The Committee desires to record its appreciation of the endeavours of the various examination authorities to meet the special requirements of Jewish candidates. 40

FINANCE COMMITTEE. The activities of the Board are, of course, largely limited T>y the funds at its disposal. It is satisfactory to note that, in spite of the expansion of these activities as a result •of the German crisis, the Board's finances stood the strain and even showed a slight surplus at the close of the year. It is, however, only right to point out that a considerable part of the extraordinary expenditure was met out of a special fund, which was created by the Joint Chairmen of the Joint Foreign Committee.

The Committee dealt with one or two applications for remission of assessment, and sanctioned certain expenditure for repairs at the Bancroft Road Cemetery. The vacancy in the Chairmanship of the Committee, •caused by the lamented death of Mr. B. S. Straus, J.P., was filled by the election of Mr. M. Gordon Liverman, J.P., the new Hon. Treasurer of the Board.

FOREIGN APPEALS COMMITTEE.

The Committee held no meetings during the year under review.

LAW, PARLIAMENTARY AND GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE.

BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.

A number of Bills engaged the attention of the Commit- tee during the year. The Slaughter of Animals Bill and 41 the British Nationality and Status of Aliens' Bill, are referred to in the reports of the Shechita Committee and of the Aliens' Committee, respectively. Of the remainder— the Factories and Workshops (Bakehouses) Bill and the Shops Acts (1912-1928) Amendment Bill—dealt with the ,question of hours of labour. Both ־constantly-recurring however, failed to secure a Second Reading and were .dropped״

In connection with the Slaughter of Animals Bill, the Agreement on the Licensing of Shochetim, which was referred to in the Committee's Report for 1932, was signed by all the parties thereto on January 15th, 1933. The Agreement was afterwards circulated to the remaining Shechita Boards in England and Wales, but only the Newcastle-on-Tyne Board has so far signified its readiness to adopt it.

Of particular interest, as an indication of the reaction of British public opinion to the treatment of the Jews in Germany, was the Nationality of Jews' Bill, which was introduced in the House of Commons by Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson in July. The object of the Bill, according to the preamble, was " to promote and extend opportunities of citizenship for Jews resident outside the British Empire." The Bill had a most sympathetic recep- tion, but was subsequently dropped.

At the commencement of the new Session in November, there were introduced the Alien Manufacturers' Licensing Bill (Mr. Mitcheson) and the Shops (Sunday Trading .Restrictions) (Scotland) Bill (Mr. Mason) ; these are still 42 engaging the attention of the Committee. The purpose of the former is to prevent for a period of five years the commencement of the manufacture of any goods by an alien without a licence from the Board of Trade, which would! only be granted on the advice of the Import Duties' Advi- sory Committee. The object of Mr. Mason's Bill is sufficiently clear from its title.

MARRIAGE SECRETARIES.

The Registrar-General drew the attention of the Com- mittee in February to the delays that occurred in the sub- mission of applications for the certification of new Marriage Secretaries. Such delays generally occurred! when a new appointment was made following the death or illness of the former Marriage Secretary, and the new appointee was therefore not apprised of the statutory requirement for his certification. After consultation with! the Registrar-General, a printed notice (Appendix II), setting out the requirements of the law with regard to certification, was issued to the responsible authorities of all Synagogues, for the purpose of exhibition in the Vestry or Secretary's office.

Later in the year the Registrar-General drew the Com- mittee's attention to a number of grave irregularities in: the registration of marriages at a London Synagogue. In addition to a large number of technical irregularities, no marriages by licence had been entered in the Register during the period 1912 to 1932, except for one case, which appeared to have been entered by inadvertence. The ״,Marriage Secretaries concerned, who had since resigned 43 appeared to have been under the impression that such marriages need not be registered, and the parties in question had been put to considerable trouble and hardship in securing proof of their marriages. Though such irregularities were believed to be exceptional, the necessity for their avoidance in the future led to a proposal for periodic inspection of Marriage Registers by officers of the Registrar-General's Department. It was arranged that such inspection should only take place after due notice had been given in writing.

REGISTRATION OF CHARITIES. The Committee considered a proposal for the registration by the Board of Jewish charities in the Metropolis, whose accounts are audited by qualified accountants. Whilst sympathising with the objects of the proposal, the Committee felt that it opened wider issues which could only properly be dealt with by legislation.

REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION.

In view of the approaching termination of the Session in April, 1934, a special Sub-Committee was set up to consider amendments to the Constitution and Bye-laws. A number of suggestions were received from members of the Board, and the Sub-Committee's recommendations, after endorsement by the Committee, were submitted to the Board as a Special Meeting held on December 17th, 1933. The most important amendments dealt with the procedure governing the amendment of the constitution and the provision of facilities for the representation of Reform Synagogues on the Board. 44

DISUSED CEMETERIES.

The Committee continued its supervision of the Disused Cemeteries of defunct Congregations. 1

The Committee again desires to tender its thanks to Mr. Henry B. Cohen and Mr. Ralph Lyons for their services as its Honorary Inspectors of Disused Cemeteries.

The thanks of the Committee are also due to Mr. C. J. Eprile, F.R.I.B.A., for the valuable assistance rendered by him in connection with the repairs carried out at the Bancroft Road Cemetery.

PALESTINE COMMITTEE.

Palestine in 1933, with its expanding industry and agricultural development, its budget surplus and freedom from unemployment, continued to provide unique evidence of material prosperity. The influx of immigrants, with and without capital, which had shown a welcome increase within the last few years, received a further impetus in consequence of the Nazi persecution of the Jews in Ger- many. The problem of settling a large number of German Jewish refugees in Palestine, which suddenly confronted the Jewish Agency, was dealt with within the limits of the immigration regulations mainly by means of advance immigration certicates provided by the Government. At the meeting of the Board in May the following resolution was adopted on the recommendation of the Committee :

" IN view of the tragic situation of the Jews in Germany the Board desires to express its wholehearted support of the 45

efforts of the Jewish Agency for Palestine to obtain every- facility for substantially increased immigration into Palestine, and respectfully urges His Majesty's Government to respond to the representations of the Jewish Agency on a scale com- mensurate with the present emergency."

To the disapppintment of the Jewish Agency and Jewry generally, the Government did not view the emergency in Germany and the demand for labour in Palestine as sufficient reason for a more generous interpretation of the- factor of absorptive capacity, on which the immigration: ״,schedules are based. The number of refugees that did however, find a haven in Palestine was sufficiently large, together with the number of ''unauthorised" immigrants settled in recent years, to provide the ostensible reason for an Arab demonstration against the Government in October, which resulted in a regrettable loss of life. Measures taken by the Government towards the end of" -and expel unauthorised immi י, the year to " round up grants created a good deal of resentment among Jews, and led to unfortunate incidents both in Palestine and! abroad.

For the first time in the history of the Board, the Presi- dent officially attended, as an observer, the XVIII Zionist Congress, held at Prague during the summer. An important outcome of the Congress was the appointment of Dr. Weizmann as head of a Bureau to deal with the settlement of German Jewish refugees in Palestine. This problem also occupied a considerable part in the deliberations, of the Conference for; the Relief of German Jewry held in London in October, at which a series of resolutions were- passed directed to the co-ordination of effort on the part~ 46 of Jewish bodies throughout the world engaged in this aspect of relief work.

Prior to the Biennial Meeting in Prague of the Council for the Jewish Agency for Palestine, the British Section set up a Sub-Committee to consider proposals for the reorgani- sation of the Jewish Agency, and a report was submitted to the Board. This matter was the subject of considerable discussion, but, as it did not figure on the Agenda of the Council, no decision with regard to the demand of the Zionists for a reduction in the representation of the non~ Zionist element could be arrived at. The non-Zionist element, however, agreed for the time being to appoint three members only on the Executive. Mr. O. E. d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, D.L., J.P., was elected Chairman of the Council, and Mr. Neville J. Laski, K.C., Joint Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Jewish Agency.

The Palestine budget included increases in the grants for Jewish education and health, and a grant to the Agricul- tural Experimental Station. The land policy adopted by the Government indicated that special importance was attached to only two of the recommendations of the French Report, namely, the necessity for strengthening the position of Arab tenants and the re-settlement of displaced Arabs. The Land Ordinance, promulgated by the Govern- ment, had apparently for its object the permanent attach- ment of the Arab tenant to the land he cultivated or to land in the immediate neighbourhood, and was thus calculated seriously to hamper the Jewish Agency's programme in regard to land settlement. 47

The Committee's attention having• been drawn to the undesirable influence brought to bear on Jewish children attending missionary schools in Palestine, the Vaad Leumi was communicated with, and furnished it with a valuable report on the subject. The situation, as revealed in this Report, indicated the necessity for taking prompt measures to safeguard the education of Jewish children in Palestine. The Committee accordingly recommended that a meeting of representative Jewish bodies in this country should be convened for the purpose of exploring the situation, and, if possible, formulating constructive measures to deal with the problem. This recommendation was adopted by the Board at its meeting in December, and the necessary arrangements were immediately taken in hand for convening the Conference early in the new year.

PRESS AND INFORMATION COMMITTEE.

Throughout the year the Press Committee has continued to conduct its normal work in defence of the good name of the Jewish community in Great Britain.

A wider field of activity was opened by the advent of the Hitler regime in Germany, and there is some evidence of anti-Semitic activities in Great Britain, conducted by agents working under direct instructions from abroad. Work arising from this event was entrusted to an Infor- !nation Sub-Committee appointed by the Joint Foreign Committee, which was in charge of this until September. At that stage the work was transferred to an amalgama- lion of the Information Sub-Committee of the Joint 48

Foreign Committee and the Press Committee, thus constituting the Press and Information Committee, which: became responsible for the work in the last quarter of the year.

Close attention has been given to the production and distribution of suitable pamphlets and to the correction of mis-statements appearing in the Press. The Committee has co-operated with the B'nai B'rith in constituting a Central Jewish Lecture Committee for the supply of speakers for non-Jewish audiences.

SHECHITA COMMITTEE.

SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS BILL.

The Slaughter of Animals Bill passed through all its- stages and received the Royal Assent on July 28th. An Amendment was put down during the Committee stage in the House of Commons to delete the exemption clause for the Jewish method of slaughter. After a demonstration, which was specially arranged by the Chairman, in conjunction with Mr. Janner, M.P., when Mr. Zeitlyn took the opportunity of explaining to the mover (Mr. A. R. Wise, M.P.), the Jewish laws and regulations governing Shechita, Mr. Wise withdrew his amendment with the remark : "I agree that their slaughter is extremely humane." An Amendment to withdraw sheep from the scope of the Bill was, however, accepted, but a provision was added, enabling local authorities to apply the Bill to these animals by means of a resolution, to be adopted within 12 months of the passing of the Bill. Where such! 49

a resolution is not passed, and the local authority has in force a bye-law requiring• the stunning of sheep, separate licences for the killing of these animals will continue to be issued by the Chief Rabbi.

The Chairman of the Committee carried out an exten- sive tour during the summer and autumn for the purpose of discussing with the various provincial communities the implications of the Act in relation to the Jewish method of slaughter, with particular reference to the necessity for installing a mechanical method of casting. Mr. Zeitlyn addressed meetings at Southend, Portsmouth, Southamp- ton, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Llandudno, Bangor, Leeds, Bradford, Newcastle, Hull, Reading and Chatham, and was able to secure the assent of the Shechita Authorities in all these places to the adoption of a mechanical casting apparatus. Methods of providing for the smaller communities, whose circumstances did not justify the purchase of separate machines, were also discussed.

Casting Pens have now been installed in London,, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Birkenhead, and arrangements to instal them in other centres are reported to be well advanced. It is hoped that, with the universal adoption of the Casting Pen wherever Shechita is prac- tised, any unfavourable criticism of the Jewish method of slaughter, based upon the casting, will come to an end.

JERSEY.

In January information was received that the States of Jersey had passed a Law " Sur !'Introduction de Betail 50

Etranger, sur la Viande de Boucherie et sur l'Abatage," which provided, inter alia, for the obligatory use of a mechanical instrument for the slaughter of all cattle. An examination of the terms of the Law revealed that no provision had been made for the exemption of the Jewish method of slaughter. Representations were made to His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, through the Home Office, with a view to the possible insertion, by way of an amendment to the Act, of a provision to secure the necessary exemption. The Chairman of the Committee (at the suggestion of the Home Office) paid a visit to Jersey and interviewed the Lieutenant-Governor as well as the Bailiff and other members of the Government, and, as a result, a promise was obtained that an Amending Bill would be introduced exempting the Jewish method of״ slaughter from the operation of the Act. This promise has since been implemented. The Amending Act designates " the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Empire for the time being or some person or body of persons appointed by him in that behalf " as the licensing authority for Shochetim.

ELECTRICAL STUNNING.

The scientific enquiry set on foot by the Ecclesiastical Authorities, at the instance of the Committee, to investi- gate the electrical method of stunning in connection with Shechita, has been completed. It is understood that the report is now under consideration by a Special Committee of the Beth Din which has been set up for the purpose, 51

THE DEFENCE OF SHECHITA IN THE PRESS.

The issue of a circular by the Ministry of Health, inviting the attention of local authorities to the provisions of the Slaughter of Animals Act, provided opportunities for adverse comments on the Jewish method of slaughter, which wTas duly reported in the Press and stimulated considerable correspondence. The services of Mr. C. H. L. Emanuel, M.A., Hon. Secretary of the Committee, were frequently called upon in this connection, and the thanks of the Committee are again due to him for his devotion to the cause.

The September, 1932, issue of " Women in Council," the organ of the National Council of Women, contained an article on the Weinberg Pen, in which it was alleged that a majority of the Jewish Board of Deputies had maintained a vigorous opposition to the adoption of the Pen, in spite of an influential minority who had accused the Board of scandalous and disgraceful delay.

As a result of correspondence with the President of the Council and the Editor of " Women in Council," the following " correction " and apology were published in the March, 1933, issue :— " In reference to a statement referring to the attitude of the Jewish Board of Deputies with regard to the Weinberg Casting Pen which appeared on p. 203 of the September number of ' Women in Council,' we are informed by Mr. Charles Emanuel, Hon. Secretary of the Shechita Committee, Board of Deputies of British Jews, that : 52

' The Records of the Board show that the entire Board (without any question of a majority or minority) has for many years past been energetically supporting the adoption of a mechanical method of casting.' " "We much regret that an inaccurate statement should have appeared in ' Women in Council,' and trust the Board will accept our apology."

JOINT FOREIGN COMMITTEE.

The Report of the Joint Foreign Committee for the past year deals with events in which Jews played a leading and tragic part. For that reason, if an adequate account were to be given of the Committee's activities, it would be necessary to describe the course of events in Germany ,which inspired and led up to them. It would be necessary to describe events which changed the destiny of more than half a million people, which caused the exile of thousands and the economic ruin of many thousands more. That is not possible within a very limited space. Accordingly, some readers may find the report to have devoted too much attention to one aspect and to have neglected unduly another.

GERMANY.

The Committee had watched with growing anxiety and

alarm the increasing anti-Semitic agitation in Germanyy and the way in which, in the hands of skilful and un- scrupulous propagandists, facts were being distorted and barefaccd falsehoods published, designed to blacken the name of the Jewish community. Among the most com- 53 monly circulated libels were statements that the Jews were engaged in an international conspiracy against Germany, and were concerned in stirring up foreign hostility. So long as there seemed any likelihood of the German people be- coming aware of the absurd baselessness of this charge, the Committee felt they would only make confusion worse confounded by attempting anything in the way of public protest or demonstration. Such a step, at. such a time, could have done no good and might have precipitated a -crisis which many people still hoped might be, averted.

The appointment of Herr Hitler as Chancellor on the 30th January, 1933, was followed by the burning of the Reichstag on 28th February and the elections on 5th March. Ruthless persecution of political enemies followed, and Jews of any politics or no politics were mercilessly attacked. It is not proposed here to give any account of Jewish suffering, of men dragged from their beds to Nazi torture cells, of floggings or concentration camps. Per- haps those events can best be summed up in the words of article in The Times of 8th July. " The Nazis ־a leading. have brought Germany to this pitiable condition by their ruthless exploitation first of the rubber club and then of the threat of dismissal from public office or private job. 111 the earlier stages of the revolution any man who put up the slightest show of open opposition—of physical re- distance there was practically none—was liable to be haled from his bed in the middle of the night and beaten to the point of death; in its more recent stages physical cruelty has been mostly superseded by the threat of loss of livelihood, almost equally terrible where economic distress is -even more acute than elsewhere. The Nazis were them״ 54

selves largely recruited from the unemployed. Having gained power they wanted jobs, and they have been taking them. The unfortunate and defenceless Jews, of course, have suffered most, but charges of 'lukewarmness to the cause' have been sufficient to rob German business men of their posts; and even inability to prove that his own and his wife's grandparents were of Aryan stock has ruined many a family breadwinner." As an immediate result of these happenings refugees began to arrive in large numbers, and the newspapers published long columns on brutalities inflicted on the Jews in Nazi Germany. Wide- spread and violent indignation was felt and expressed, not only in Jewish circles. In the House of Commons Sir !John Simon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, expressed what in his opinion was the universal feeling of horror. Speeches condemning the German policy were delivered by Sir Austen Chamberlain, Mr. Winston Churchill, Colonel Wedgwood and others. In the Anglo- Jewish community a spontaneous movement sprang up to institute a boycott of German goods and services, and various demonstrations took place in many parts of the country with, this object. At the meeting of the Board of Deputies in April about thirty to forty representatives of the Press attended, and unprecedented public attention was directed to its proceedings. Indignation at the German atrocities reached fever pitch, when, on April 1st, a complete boycott of Jewish shops and business houses was proclaimed by the Nazi Government and organised by most violent of all German׳ Julius Streicher, one of the anti-Semites. Great pressure was put upon members of the Committee to proclaim a counter-boycott, but, in view of all the circumstances, such a policy did not appear to• 55 be a wise one. This decision was subsequently endorsed by a majority of the Board of Deputies and also by the Council of the Anglo-Jewish Association. Throughout these spring and summer months the Committee met at least once a wreek, and often on many days in succession. It soon became clear that there !must be some measure of decentralisation, or the Committee would be overwhelmed with the mass of work imposed upon it. Accordingly, various sub-committees were set up and proved of very great assistance.

Meanwhile, the first of a series of laws was published in Germany in defiance of the principle previously recognised in all civilised countries, that neither race, religion nor origin should be a bar to the exercise of any profession or the holding of public office. This law, entitled "Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums," or Law for the Re-establishment of a Professional Civil Service, contained the notorious Aryan paragraph : "Beamte die nicht arischer Abstammung sind, sind in den Ruhestand zu vers-etzen"—officials of non-Aryan origin are to be placed •on the retired list. Subsequent decrees defined non- Aryan origin as descent from non-Aryans and, in particular, Jewish parents or grandparents. One non-Aryan grandparent was sufficient. In consequence of this paragraph and in consequence of further laws dealing with lawyers and doctors, many thousands of people found themselves faced with immediate unemployment and future starvation. It also was the cause of the loss to German science and learning of many men whose names were world famous, but who found themselves victims of mediaeval bigotry and prejudice. 56

Public opinion in Europe and America was now thor- oughly aroused, and meetings were held in almost every country at which leading personalities in Church and State expressed their abhorrence of the persecution. In this country the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, Monsignor Downey, was among the first to give expres- sion to these views. On the 27th June a meeting was held at the Queen's Hall, at which Viscount Buckmaster, a former Lord Chancellor, took the chair, and the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Dr. Scott Lidgett, and the Earl of Iddesleigh were the principal speakers. Many other meetings were held, including one at York, where the Archbishop associated himself with the views expressed at the Queen's Hall. These speeches, although prominently reported in the English and foreign Press, were passed over in silence in Germany, owing to the censorship, a fact which was com- mented on by Dr. Sherwood Eddy, speaking at a German- American gathering in Berlin. Meanwhile, the question arose as to the possibility of bringing the Jewish situation in Germany to the attention of the League of Nations. Thanks very largely to the efforts of the Comite des Delegations Juives a means was found of doing this. A Petition, in the name of a Jewish resident in Upper Silesia, a district governed under a Polish-Germ an Convention, was carefully prepared and presented to the League Council. By this means very considerable publicity was given, and the German representatives met with a chilly, not to say a hostile, recep- tion. The Jewish question further figured prominently at the Assembly of the League in September, which provided 57

-by Mr. Ormsby׳ the occasion for an impressive speech Gore, the British representative. In the course of this speech Mr. Ormsby-Gore declared : " It has always been a cardinal principle of the British Empire that no person shall be debarred from holding any office under the Crown or from occupying posts in any profession—to quote the famous words of Queen Victoria in the Proclamation to India—'by reason of race, colour or creed.' That is funda- mental." This Assembly of the League was also notable for the appointment of a High Commissioner for Refugees from Germany, a post which was subsequently filled by Mr. James G. Macdonald. Our earnest good wishes accompany him on assuming his responsible and difficult task. In connection with the problem of refugees and the more general one of assistance to German Jewry, a Conference was convened in October on the initiative of the Commit-* tee in conjunction with the Alliance Israelite Universelle, the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, and the Comite des Delegations Juives, in which representatives of all leading Jewish organisations in the various countries took part. As a result, very much closer contact and co-ordination between the various bodies dealing with the problem was achieved. (See Appendix III.) While steadfastly confronting them, it would be foolish to underrate our difficulties. A policy of blind racial discrimination has been adopted by a Great Power, armed with all the resources, political and economic, of a modern State. The Nazi party machine, which previously drew its resources largely from wealthy Conservative sup- porters, is now enabled to spend millions from public funds for propaganda purposes. That the European and American reading public has been able to receive accurate information of current, events is due solely to the courage and independence shown by the foreign correspondents of great newspapers accredited to Berlin. The debt owed to them by the Jewish community is incalculable. It is owed also by countless numbers outside the Jewish community, by all those who, in dark days, still believe in truth and justice, liberty, and law. In face of imprison- ment and the menace of personal violence, undeterred by every kind of pressure, direct and indirect, they have made it possible for the truth, concealed from the inhabitants of Germany, to be known outside its borders. Inside Germany the Minister of Propaganda has achieved his ambition of playing upon the Press as upon a piano. Outside Ger- many, happily, other and better traditions still prevail. Jewish communities throughout Central and Eastern Europe have all been affected in varying degrees by events in Germany. AUSTRIA. Nazi foreign propaganda has been concentrated on efforts to make the position of Chancellor Dollfuss unten- able. Up to the present the Chancellor, having narrowly escaped the bullet of an assassin, has succeeded in retain- ing power. The success of his Nazi adversaries would mean the letting loose in Austria of the flood of intolerant racialism which has overwhelmed Germany, and all lovers of liberty must sympathise with Austria in her struggle for the maintenance of her independence.

RUMANIA. The campaign of calumnv and falsehood which led to 59 the attempted assassination of the Austrian Chancellor, proved only too successful in Rumania, whose Premier, Monsieur Duca, was murdered by a member of the anti- Semitic Iron Guard. This organisation has been dissolved and stern steps have been, taken by the present Govern- ment for the preservation of law and order.

POLAND. The Pilsudski Government has maintained throughout the year its tradition of refusing t.o tolerate all violent manifestations of anti-Semitic activity. It is largely due to the vigorous action taken by Polish diplomatic and con- sular representatives in Germany that the sufferings en- •dured by Polish Jews resident in Germany have been to some extent mitigated. Nevertheless the influx of large numbers of refugees has made the economic position of the Jews in Poland even more intolerable than before.

HUNGARY. Certain disturbances have taken place at. the Univer- sities and High Schools. The Hungarian Premier. General Gombos, however, shows no signs of allowing himself to be intimidated by rowdies and hooligans. The year closed with a sombre outlook, but if the tale of Jewish^ suffering and misfortune must necessarily cause׳ dejection, we should, at all events, welcome the unequivo- cal way in which the western democracies have con- demned Nazi ideas and methods. In England, France and America, all classes and all sections of opinion have been united in this. In face of the united sentiments of enlightened Europe, bigotry, intolerance and medievalism׳ will, sooner or later, have to give way. 60 APPENDIX I.

MEMORANDUM AS TO THE STATUS OF MINOR CHILDREN. OF NATURALIZED BRITISH SUBJECTS IN CASES WHERE THE CERTIFICATE OF NATURALIZATION GRANTED TO* THE PARENT HAS BEEN REVOKED. By the Common Law of England any person born within His Majesty's dominions and allegiance is a natural born British subject, and the status of such a person has now been made statutory by the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914. Under the provisions of the Naturalization Act of 1870, an alien by fulfilling certain statutory conditions, could obtain a grant of a certificate of naturalization, and was enabled also to obtain inclusion on the certificate of naturalization of the names of his minor children born before the date of the grant of the certificate. Under the Act of 1870, it was possible for a person to whom a certificate of naturalization had been granted to become voluntarily naturalized in another State, and thereby to- lose the status of a British subject. The Act of 1870 did not contain a power to revoke a certificate of naturalization, but it did contain a provision that where a father, being a British subject, became an alien in pursuance of the provisions of that Act every child of such father who during infancy had become resident in the country where the father was naturalized and had according to the laws of that country •become naturalized therein, should be deemed to be a subject of the State of whioh the father had become a subject and not a British subject. The Naturalization Act of 1870 was repealed by the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914. This later Act provided for the grant of certificates of naturalization to aliens, and further gave power for the Secretary of State to revoke a certificate where it had been obtained by false representation or fraud only. By the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1918, the power of revocation was extended to cover certain grounds other than false representation or fraud. It is not necessary for the purposes of this memorandum to specify such other grounds. The position and status of minor children of an alien under the Act of 1914, may be gathered from a perusal of the revelant sections of that Act. Section 5 (1.) When an alien obtains a certificate of naturalization the Secretary of State may, if he think fit, on the applica- tion of that alien, include in the certificate the name of any child of the alien born before the date of the certificate and being a- 61

minor, and that child shall thereuppn, if not already a British subject, become a British subject, but any child may, within one year after attaining his majority, make a declaration of alienage and shall thereupon cease to be a British subject,

Section 12 (1.) When a person, being a British subject, ceases to be a British subject, whether by declaration of alienage or otherwise, every child of that person being a minor shall cease to be a British subject, unless such child or that person ceasing to be a British subject does not became by the law of any other •country naturalized in that country.

Provided that where a widow who is a British subject marries an alien, any child of hers by her former husband shall not by reason only of her marriage cease to be a British subject, whether he is residing in His Majesty's dominions or not.

(2.) Any child who has so ceased to be a British subject may, within one year after attaining his majority, make a declaration that he wishes to resume British nationality and shall thereupon again become a British subject.

Shortly, the effect of this last section, was to place the minor children of a denaturalized British subject in the position indi- •cated by the repealed Act of 1870, and such children, notwith- standing the father's loss of British nationality, could still retain their status of British subjects so long as they did not become by the law of any other country naturalized in that country. The provisions of Section 12 of the Act of 1914 have, however, been modified or amended by Section 7A (1) of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1918, which reads as follows: — Section 7A• (1.) Where a certificate of naturalization, is revoked the Secretary of State may by order direct that the wife and minor children (or any of them), of the person whose certificate is revoked, shall cease to be British subjects, and any such person ; shall thereupon become an alien, but except where, the Secretary of State directs as aforesaid, the nationality of the wife and minor -children of the person whose certificate is revoked shall not be .affected by the revocation, and they shall remain British subjects. (2.) The provisions of this section shall as respects persons affected thereby, have effect in substitution for any other provisions of this Act as to the effect upon the wife and children of any person when that person ceases to be a British subject, and such other provisions shall accordingly not apply in any such .case־ 62

The effect of this section of the Act of 1918 in one respect, has -of a person whose certifi׳ improved the position of minor children cate of naturalization has been revoked in that revocation "per j se" does not operate to deprive such children of their British nationality, but where the Secretary of State specifically directs, that such children cease to be British subjects, then they lose their British nationality. Apparently there are no statistics available, or at any rate it is not generally known, to what extent 4 the Secretary of State has exercised his powers under this section so far as it affects such minor children. If any such power be exercised by the Secretary of State it would materially prejudice the position and status of minor children created by Section 12 of the Act of 1914. The language of Section 7A of the 1918 Act is quite general, and appears to extend to all minor children of the person whose certificate of naturalization has been revoked, and not merely to the minor children whose names appear in the certificate, and if this is so, the minor children born in this country of a person who has not been naturalized stand in a better position than the minor children of a person who was a. naturalized British subject and suffered revocation of his certificate.

APPENDIX III.

CONFERENCE FOR THE RELIEF OF GERMAN JEWRY.

RESOLUTIONS .

On the recommendation of the Bureau. 1. The Chairmen of the Joint Foreign Committee stated that they have had under consideration a proposal that they should recommend to their Committee the establishment of a Liaison Office between the various Jewish organisations dealing with the German Jewish problem. The Conference recommends that the Chairmen of the J.F.C. be requested to proceed with this proposal on the basis that the Liaison Office will have purely advisory duties and expresses its confident hope that every organisation will co-operate to the fullest extent with such office as may be established. 2. This Conference representing Jewish Associations and Com- munities in all parts of the world which are concerned with the problem of the Jewish refugees from Germany, pledges the Communities and Associations which it represents to collaborate with the High Commissioner for the Refugees from. Germany, appointed by the League of Nations.

On the Recommendation of the Finance Committee. 3. That a General Advisory Council for Relief and Reconstruc- tion should be formed which shall have an Executive Com- mittee, with Headquarters in London for the purpose of studying and elaborating all suitable plans for the allevia- tion of German Jews. The Committee in each country shall be free to hand over all or any part of their resources• to the Executive Committee. In the case of those not desiring to centralise their funds they will be asked to under- take to consult the Executive Committee before making grants and to consider invitations from the Executive Com- mittee to make allocations from their funds to particular schemes recommended by the Executive Committee. For this purpose the Committee in each country will keep the Executive Committee informed of the steps they are taking to raise funds, the state of their finances, and the manner of their employment. 64

4. (a) The Advisory Council shall consist of one representative from . each delegation represented at the Conference with power to co-opt. (b) The Executive Committee shall be formed by the organisations convening this Conference, together with the Jewish Agency. (c) The organisations convening this Conference shall define the functions of the Advisory Council and the Executive Committee.

On the Report of the Committee on Migration. 5. The Conference adopted unanimously the proposal that the Permanent Commission on Migration should consist of four representatives from England, one of whom shall be the Chairman, and one representative from each of the following countries: France, Belgium, Holland, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, the Scandinavian Countries, South Africa and• the U.S.A. The Hicem should also have one representative. The Commission has power to co-opt. Mr. Otto Schiff was authorised to recommend these representatives.

On the Recommendation of the Palestine Committee. 6. (a) Moneys shall be applied to the following purposes: — facilitating the settlement of German Jews upon the land; the stimulation of industry; credits for artisans; credits for small industrialists; housing with small plots of land for Chaluzim in colonies; housing in towns and co-operation with existing institutions or otherwise; irrigation and water supply; assistance to scientific and academic institutions; agricultural and vocational training for men and women; the transfer to Palestine and the training of children; social work, and such other purposes as may appear desirable. (b) The above purposes shall be effected in co-operation with any appropriate existing organisation engaged in similar work in Palestine, in order to avoid duplication and overlapping.

General. 7. This Conference of Representatives of Jewish communities in all parts of the world records its belief that among the 65 countries to which Jewish refugees from Germany can look for the opportunity of permanent settlement and absorption Palestine occupies a pre-eminent position. The Conference regrets the distressing events that have recently marred the peace of Palestine and the loss of life and injury ensuing therefrom. The Conference notes the statement of the Colonial Secretary, and expresses the belief that it will be in the interests of Jews and Arabs if the remarkable progress now being made in Palestine will continue in the future. The Conference hopes that the mandatory Power will do everything possible to enable the largest possible number of Jews from Germany to settle in Palestine.

This Conference expresses its admiration for the courage with which the German Jewish Community has faced the ordeal to whicih it has been subjected and for the work its organisations have accomplished under such trying circumstances.
