NAZIS AND JEWS

NEW BLOW STRUCK REFUGEES IN ENGLAND REMITTANCES STOPPED 1500 LEFT PENNILESS EMINENT MEN EXILED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received July 27, f.,5 p.m.) LONDON, July 20 Hitherto tho German Government has permitted remittances limited to £l3 a month to ho sent to Jewish refugees. That privilege now has been withdrawn, however, on the ground that emigrants have been attempting gradually to transfer the whole of their property. This decision has left approximately 1500 Jewish refugees in Britain penniless. Tho Jewish Refugee Committee has assured the Government that none of these people will bo allowed to become a charge on the country. All arc being assisted by the committee. Professor Einstein sat in tho gallery of tho House of Commons to-day when Commander Oliver Locker-La inpson (Conservative —Handswortli, Birmingham) introduced his Nationality>of Jews Bill. This is designed to promoto and extend citizenship in Palestine to Jews deprived of citizenship elsewhere. The member said that Professor Einstein was generally admitted to be tho world's most eminent man of science. England was proud to afford him sholtcr at Oxford. Commander Locker-Lampson said he felt that Germany and tho German people had been misled. She had not driven out cut-throats and blackguards, but tho cream of her culture, and had even turned on her most eminent citizen, Professor Einstein, and .plundered his home. Ho wished tho League of Nations could send a mission of inquiry to Germany. If that wero not possible, the British Empire, which was the real League of Nations, should stand up for Jewry.
