The Jews of Czecho-Slovakia must speak Czech or Hebrew, but never Hungarian, says a proclamation displayed with other propaganda material at the exhibition of Present Day Culture in Czecho-Slovakia in the pavilion arranged by the Narodni Jednota, the Czech organization for the protection of Czech minorities in the border zones.

The proclamation threatens to take action against the Jews if they are found speaking Hungarian.

Frank Horowitx, American Jewish painter has sailed for Russia.

Mr. Horowitz will visit the Jewish colonies in the Crimea and the Ukraine, painting a series of studies of the life of the Jewish colonists.
