Announcing that in the interests of economy municipal institutions for the aged and infirm can no longer be officially supported, but must be maintained voluntarily, Burgomaster Maretzko made the astonishing statement at a Press conference that he was unable to take the responsibility for spending millions to prolong the lives of the incurably sick and insane. He added that humane care would be taken of these unfortunates, but an end must be put to dosing them with expensive medicines, which, after all, only prolonged their sufferings. MUST LEAVE GERMANY. Jews Appeal for Domiciles Abroad. PRAGUE, August 24. At least 200,000 of Jews in Germany must leave during the next five to ten years, Dr Arthur Rupnin, an economic expert, told the Zionist Congress. There was no salvation for German Jews, except through migration. He appealed to America to relax the immigration laws and absorb a hundred thousand, and also to the League of Nations to assist in placing fifty thousand in other countries apart from Palestine. Dr Soklov, president of the Jewish Agency, declared that the Jews would never forget Germany’s insult to Jewry. APPEAL TC LEAGUE. LONDON. August 25.
