Dr. Max Rosenfeld, President of the Zionist Federation of Luxemburg, informs the J.T.A. that so far only 30 applications by foreign Jews for continued residence in Luxemburg have been finally rejected. 19 of these applicants are Polish citizens.
The applications have been rejected either because the applicants have been in trouble with the authorities, or are not in possession of sufficient means to earn their livelihood.
The authorities are investigating carefully all cases before action is taken.
The law, which provides that all aliens who have entered the country later than October 28th., 1920 must obtain a permit from the Director-General of Justice to stay in the country if they have been living here longer than six months, affects all aliens and is not directed against Jews, it is pointed out. It is due to the occupations in which the immigrant Jews engage that they constitute the largest number of applicants.
