JEWS FROM GERMANY
£SOOO FOR RELIEF FUND GENERAL SMUTS' COMMENT (Received November 8. 8.5 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 0 The Deputy-Prime Minister of South Africa, General -Smuts, attended a luncheon at which a sum of £SOOO was subscribed for the benefit of German Jewish women and children,. In the course of a Bpeech General Smuts said he remembered wherr German Jews were regarded as the flower of Judaism among the most cultured people in the world. It was appalling to think that human beings were not to be free- to develop on their own lines, but were to be moulded by force into-a certain type, that they were not to develop in tho image of God, but in the image of a man who ought to be in a mental hospital.
The speaker said: "1 do not want to criticise Germany as a nation. She is as much sinned against as sinning. We must care for the wreckage."
