LAWS AGAINST JEWS

CONSEQUENCES OF EXPULSION WARNING BY FORMER PREMIER OF HUNGARY IU P A —Bv Electric Te'emaph-Copyright l (Received 25th January, 9 a.m.) BUDAPEST. 24th January. The former Premier, Count Bethlen, warned the Parliamentary Committee dealing with anti-Jew legislation to-day that Hungarian Jews would be given no choice but to realise their fortunes and emigrate. Yet, as soon as the Jews started to leave the country, all values, from real estate to industrial enterprises, would fall to zero. In the event, he said, of a sudden withdrawal of Jewish capital, a very grave crisis would develop. There were Jewish experts in Hungarian industry who were irreplaceable. WORLD-WIDE PRAYERS ROME, 24th January. The Vatican has decreed that Catholics throughout the world to-day should pray for the welfare of the persecuted Jews. REFUGEES PROBLEM TALKS TO CONTINUE • British Official Wireless! RUGBY, 23rd January. The chairman of the International Refugee Committee, Mr G. Rublee, who, before leaving Berlin is understood to have received assurances that the progress of his negotiations with the German Government would not have been affected by Dr. Schacht’s removal from the presidency of the Reichsbank, gave a meeting of the vice-chairman’s refugee committee, which was presided over by Earl Winterton in Paris to-day, on account of his recent conversations. It may be found desirable, in view of the further talks for which Mr Rublee is returning to Berlin, to postpone the meeting of the full inter-governmental committee, which had been provisionally fixed for Thursday.
