Aati-semilic Manifestations
in Poland and Hungary
Observed.
NOT SAFE IN STREETS
Rothenberg Says 300 Were
Murdered in Six Months
in Hungary.
New \ork Ort. 4.—Continued perse-
cution of Jews with bloodshed and
cruelty in Poland and Hungary is re-
ported by Morris Rothenberg chairman
of the executive committee of the pro-
Hsiunal American Jewish congress who
returned here recently from th<* Jewish
world relief conference in Carlsbad. Mr.
Rothenberg declares that attacks on
Jcwr in Poland have ceased at no time
since the armistice. Ib* says that while
anti-Semitic excesses in Poland wen?
mitigated by the protest meettinga Leld
in America “assaults upon persons and
property in a smaller degree continued
throughout Poland.”
“Gradually these assaults assumed
larger proportions’’ said Mr. Rothen*
berg "until within the last few months
•lews have found it unsafe to walk in
the streets. Conditions came to such a
state that the Jewish deputies in the
Polish parliament appealed to tin* minis*
t^r of war and Minister President Wi-
tns who promised that they would take
steps to stop these outrages but nothing
was done.”
(>iveii Menial Tasks.
Mr. Rothenberg said that during the
advance of the soviet armies on Warsaw
Jews readily enlisted in the Polish
n.mies but they were attacked and
persecuted by the poles and were given
the “most filthy and menial work to
jm* fonn." The Jews complained to the
.miHfKry authorities but the persecution
was not mitigated he charged.
“Immediately after the first victories
all Jewish soldiers were driven from
tin* various fronts” Mr. Rothenberg as-
serted “their ammunition was taken
away their uniforms removed and tucy
>verc put under guard a? though they
were offenders j’he Polish soldiers be-
wail to regard the Jewish soldiers as
«riminals. Every time the Pole-; took
a city they killed Jews who came their
way and numl/7^ of old Jews were
shot without trial. The officers in
• l arge afterward said that they killed
Boishcviki. This was a lie. In order
to cover these outrages the minister of
* nr issued an announcement that a
large number of armed Jewish Bolshcviki
v• re found in many cities. This infor-
mation was fed onlv to the Poles ami
was not mentioned in the dispatches for
the outside v orld because it was appar-
ent that these statements could not be
substantiated.”
Refused to See Delegations.
Mr. Rothenberg charges that the min-
ister of war and Minister President Wi-
tos refused to sec Jewish delegations
who railed upon them to complain about
anti-Semitic outrages. “Tin* spirit of
the Jews in Poland is beiug utterly
unshod by these terrible events and
they feel that th n y cannot much longer
bear up unless these terrible excesses
are stopped." he added.
According to Mr. Rothenberg. ”00
Jews have been murdered in Hungary
from December. BH9. to June 1920
and he charges that the officers ami sol-
diers nf the White army are the chief
fomenters «»f anti-Semitism. He said

that they were willing to Hup the pog-
roms provided laws were e.iactcd that
would destroy the Jews economically.
Jews Bear Brunt of Iztws.
“This is now beiug done.” said Mr.
Rothenberg “laiws have boon pu—'d

the producers arc not affected oy this
law. it is only the middleman which

guilty are flogged and put in concentra-

Ousting of Jewish civil service em-
ployes in Hungary is also reported by
Mr. Rothenberg. "Laws are also be-
ing passed specifically directed against
the Jews without mentioning ihrm. ' hr
said “as for instance li<<n^rs of all
persons engaged in rommenhl or in-
dustrial pursuits are rov< ked and appli-
cation must be made for new licenses
which may be issued nt the discretion
of the department in charge. Such li-
censes arc not being granted to Jews
thus utterly preventing them from pur-
suing their former ocru oat ions. A law
was passed that only those belonging to
military formations could be admitted
to universities. As Jews arc not allow-
ed to belong to these formations. Jewis’i
students an* unable to get into the uni-
versities. Many of them have been com-

RECENT SESSION OF
JAPANESE DIET IS
CONDEMNED IN PRESS
House of Representatives
Failed to Advance
Reforms.
Toklo Oct. 4.—Public opinion as
voiced in the Japanese press is far from
satisfied with the character of the pro-
ceedings in the session of the diet just
closed ami is particularly condemnatory
of the failure to take better advantages
of opportunities to push constitutional
development. Speeches in the house of
representatives especially by some of
the younger members! showed the exist-
ence of a movement of liberalism but the
press is bitter over the fact that the op-
position parties failed to make use of
their iwwor in a manner sufficient to
exact reforms.
A review of the session of the house
of representatives shows that it. was
noisy even riotous in nature that be-
sides the question of granting universal
suffrage it devoted itself to matters of
a transitory or personal nature and that
with the exception of the well-known
liberal Yukio Ozaki then* was no party
attack on militarism or military influ-
ence which is still regarded as being all
powerful in Japan.
It is evident. however that a begin-
ning has been made in voicing the popu-
lar cry for political reforms this being
(specially noticeable in the pressing
clamor of the suffragists that all the
young men of the empire be given the
right to vote and that in a general way
liberty of speech within and without the
diet shall be absolutely guaranteed.
The Herald of Asia an influential
weekly edited by Japanese in the Eng-
lish language says the present condi-
tion of parliamentary government in Ja-
pan falls far short of general expecta-
tions but it is not so pessimistic as to
believe in the absolute failure of the
democratic movement. The. journal of-
fers as proof of the spread of democra-
cy the trend of thought among the in-
telligent sections of the people especial-
ly the rising generation. It notes that
democracy is one of the most distinctive
characteristics of the contents of the
periodical press. But democracy seem-
ed relatively weak in political circles.
The truth is writes the editor that
under the existing limited suffrage the
classes of people among whom democra-
cy is making headway are debarred
from sending representatives to the low-
er chamber of the diet. “Consequently”
continued the article ‘‘that important
body is hardly touched by the great wave
of liberalism that is sweeping the land.
We see the anomalous apertaole of the
supposed representatives of the people
remaining an a whole in the same con-
dition of ignorance and ineptitude as
they were 20 years ag<». But sooner or
later the suffrage will be still further
extended so as to enable the educated
young men to have a say in parliament-
ary elections. When that day comes and
it will probably come sooner than most
people imagine an important revolution
is bound to be the immediate result in
the political world of Japan.’
TRANSFORMATION IN
ITALIAN METAL TRADE
EFFECTED PEACEFULLY
Giolitti Says Little Injury
Has Been Done on the
Whole.
Rome Oct. 3.—ltaly has gone thorugh
a radical transformation in the rela-
tions existing between employers and
workers with little injury to persons
prop«|ty or the order of things says
Prenfier Giolitti in a statement to The
Associated Press. He explains the sig-
nificance of the settlement reached be-
tween owners and employes and says
more cordial relations between capita
and labor will exist in the future.' In-
cidentally the premier upon whose in-
itiative the controversy was settled
takes occasion to ridicule alarming
stories printed in the United Slates rel
ative to conditions in Italy during the
past month.
"Metal workers were receiving wagos
from 16 to 20 lire daily" says Signor
Giolitti in explaining the situation at
the beginning of the movement.
‘‘Considering the present rate of ex-
change these wages represented less
than one dollar American money.”
CUT PICKERS’ SALARY
Cuero Fanners Decide to Reduce Cot-
ton Acreage.
Cuero Tex. Oct. 4.—DeWitt county
farmers in mass meeting assembled at
the court house in Cuero Saturday af-
ternoon agreed to cut immediately the
price of cotton picking to $1.56 from
$2 to $2.50 the prevailing prices 'I he
claim is made that present prices of
cotton will not justify higher prices for
picking and some of the farmers had
let their pickers go rather than pay the
prices demanded for gathering it.
The farmers present also '••<*'d |h
favor of a resolution to cut the cot-
ton acreage not less than om* Jourth
next year and will meet again in \o-
vemlxr to outline plans that will be
binding toward getting this result. |
(tinners who were asked by the |
farmers some time back to cut the price
of ginning have reduced their M-hedule
from 50 cents a hundred down to >6j
cents uer hundred.

Nash Prices Cannot Be Reduced
They Have Never Been Inflated
There will he no reduction in the price of the
Nash Six.
We think it only fair to state our policy plainly in
justice to present Nash Six owners and those who
contemplate purchasing this car.
Nash prices cannot be reduced because present
prices represent the actual intrinsic value of the
product plus a profit sufficient only to maintain
manufacturing operations.
That is a plain statement of fact.
We cannot buy the high grade materials used in
the Nash Six any cheaper.
We cannot buy the skilled labor employed in the
making of the Nash Six any cheaper.
These two factors determine price. Until materials
are lower or labor is lower no one can manufac-
ture such a car as the Nash Six for less money.
We say no one advisedly because here in this great
plant covering 101 acres of ground and employing
5000 skilled workmen manufacturing costs are
reduced to their lowest level.
Here the Nash Six is manufactured 93% in its
entirety.
We have every advantage that large resources and
a well established business afford — the purchase
of raw materials on a big scale perfected manu-
facturing processes and the distribution of costs
over a large output.
This insures minimum production
costs for each individual car.
That is why the Nash Six has al-
ways represented exceptionally
high value.
The savings made by our manu-
facturing methods have been given
to the buyer keeping the price of
this car at the lowest possible figure.
Consider this fact.
Since 1917 while prices of all
commodities have been soaring

A STATEMENT
Our policy has always been to give
the consumer the best automobile
and best truck we could build at
the least possible cost. We have
never asked a dollar moresimply
because we could get it.
In view of the fad that there it no
reduction today in the price of ma-
terials or labor entering into Nash
products and that there is no pos-
sibility of any reduction for some
time to come that can substantially
affect manufacturing costs the
policy of The Nash Motors Com-
panywillbe to absolutely maintain
its present prices on both passen-
ger cars and trucks toot least July
Ist 1921.
the price of the Nash Six has risen only 31%. Con-
sidering the addition of cord tires and other equip-
ment as standard equipment the actual increase
has been only 24%.
During that time the increased price of other motor
cars shows an average rise of 76%.
The cost of living has risen 104%.
These figures show plainly that Nash manufactur-
ing ability does make possible a car of exceptional
value and that Nash selling prices have always been
kept low in accordance with our low production cost.
In view of price changes actual and rumored we
welcome the opportunity to make this statement:
“That the Nash Six today represents more actual
value and is a bigger and better automobile than
anyother car within hundreds of dollars of its price.”
That is our judgment and that it is the judgment of
many thousands of motor buyers is evident in the
widespread conviction that the Nash Six does repre-
sent value impressively above the average.
Under these unsettled conditions it is the only ex-
planation of the fact that today the Nash Motors
Company has thousands of unfilled orders on its
books and that maximum production schedules
are being maintained in our factory.
You may purchase the Nash Six with the assur-
ance that today as always you
are buying a car of exceptional
value.
You buy more power with the
Nash Six due to its Perfected Valve-
in-Head Motor.
You buy comfort and convenience
beyond the ordinary.
You buy really exceptional beauty
of design and finish.
And you buy a car with the high
character ofits performance proved
beyond question.
