GERMAN JEWS

SCURRYING TO ENGLAND

THEIR POSITION AS ALIENS,

QUESTION IN THE COMMONS.

By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received 10, 12.10 p.m.) London, March 9. In the House of Commons Mr. Doran asked if the Home Secretary would prevent alien Jews entering the country from Germany. Sir John Gilmour said it was not within the law to discriminate against alients on the grounds of religious belief. The Racial Origin of Aliens Act gave adequate powers to protect the country against any undesirable influx of alients. Each case was considered on its merits. Mr. Doran: Hundreds of thousands of Jews are scurrying from Germany to Britain. A carriage and pair could be driven through the Aliens Act. Mr. Buchanan: Will you undertake that, whatever restrictions are applied to aliens, Jews will not be singled out for aggressive treatment? Sir John Gilmour: Certainly. There is no differentiation. Mr. Doran: Is it the policy of the country to allow the entrance of aliens from every country when we have 3,000,000 unemployed? If you are asking for a Hitler in this country wo will soon get him. (Laughter). There was no reply.
