(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
There is no Jewish question in Spain, and in Hungary the matter is more political than religious, two cardinals, interviewed by a representative of the Jewish Telegrapic Agency said today. Those who made statements were Cardinal Reigy Casanova, of Spain Cardinal Czernoch of Hungary.
Cardinal Casanova said that in his country there was no Jewish question and, would not be quoted further.
“The church is outside the controversy,” Cardinal Czernoch said. “In Hungary it is an economic question. I try my best to smooth out all difficulties.”
