The question of emigration of Jews from Czechoslovakia has been raised in Parliament by Deputy Sider, an anti-Semitic leader and head of the Slovak People’s Party.

He said between 1922 and 1924, 102,000 Slovakians emigrated from the country while the number of Jews increased in the same period. Before the war, he declared, the Hungarian Government helped Jews settle in Slovakia. At that time they were small tradesmen, he said, while now they controlled the whole country.
