JEWESSES BANNED
FROM MID-SURREY GOLF CLUB SCATHING COMMENT MADE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, November 10. London golf clubs unanimously condemn the Mid-Surrey Club’s action in vetoing the membership of Jewish women. Th© secretary of the Beckenham Club asks what would be the position if the Rothschilds, Monels, and Readings applied for membership. Others suggest that the name of Mid-Surrey be changed to “Mediaeval.” and congratulate the Jew r s on being spared association with persons plainly of inferior culture. Mrs Truscott, captain of the ladies? section of the Mid-Surrey Club, said: “We have a perfect right to do what we choose. We do not want Jewesses as members. Therefore we have decided to exclude them.” Sir Robert Donald declares that such ostracism suggests a throw-back to the bad old days.
