“We demand participation in the rebuilding of our fatherland,” Councillor Aladar Kaszab, the new president of the Budapest Jewish community, said, speaking at the inaugural meeting of the new board of the community held here yesterday at which he outlined his program.
In his work as president of the community, Councillor Kaszab went on, he would strive that the faith of their brethren should remain as firm as in the past. “The education of our children,” he said, “the strengthening of religious education, the buiding of synagogues and schools, the development of our hospitals and of our charitable institutions, those are our aims. I want to raise the standard of living of the offcials of our community and to place our teachers on a level of equality in all material respects with the teachers employed by the State. The statutes will be amended to extend the right of voting in the elections to the community.”
