RELIEF FOR EUROPEAN JEWS
■ ♦ - VISIT OF DR. MAURICE LASERSON The opinion that New Zealand was one of the happiest, if not (he happiest country in the world, was expressed last evening by Dr. Maurice Laserson, of Geneva, a member of the executive of the Central Jewish Relief Organisation, "Ort-Oze," of Paris and London, who is visiting New Zealand to acquaint the Jewish, communities in the Dominion with the condition of the Jews in Eastern Europe and with the efforts of the organisation to assist them. He said that conditions were apparently so good in New Zealand that the people could not fully realise the misery and distress that existed in certain parts of Europe. Jewish people throughout the world, he said, regarded England as a rock of democracy, tolerance, and freedom Jews could live only in free and democratic countries, for under other forms of Government their political and economic rights were.by no means guaranteed against persecution and religious and racial prejudice.
