worst thing about it is that the sit-

Asked about the present situation,
of the Jews in Soviet Russia, .Mr.'
Smolar, who spent more than a year
there, said:
“Briefly one can say that the eco-
nomic situation of the Jews there is
improving. The fact that many Jew-
ish ytung men from the small towns
have lately been taken into the in-
dustrial establishments lends hops
that the economic condition of the
declassed Jews of the small towiis
will eventually improve. While part
of these declassed Jews who have up
to now been deprived of ail citisen-
ship rights have now been granted
the right to settle on the land as
farmers, another part is being sup-
ported by their children who obtain
work in the Industrial establishments,
in general one can say that the eco-
nomic situation of the impoverished
and declassed Jews is continually im-
proving.”

“The reaction among the Jews
themselves,” concludes Mr. Minsky,
“is that while they generally hold up
their heads and meet the anti-Sem-
ites on a quid pro quo basis, there
are tendencies in one or, two instances
to show that they are unable to keep
up the battle. t * - ,
“In Germany and Hungary there
are alarming trends towards inter-
marriage and assimilation, and in the
latter country the Jews, up till re-

the hope of pleasing the Magyars
and proving their good citizenship.”

this country which is of great his-

not been studied as yet.
An appeal to American Jews to
help the headquarters of the Yiddish
Scientific Institute in Vilna, Poland,
continue its work was issued by the
conference. Zaplman Raisin, who is
the secretary of the Vilna headquar-

country on’ behalf of the Institute,
in an address before the conference
described some of the achievements
of the Institute in the field of Jew-

been gratefully acknowledged both
by the Jewish masses and by Jewish
scientists of Europe.
Others who spoke on various

Dr. I. Schatzky, Dr. A. Mukdonl,
Judah A. Jaffe and Menachem Bo-
