Singalovsky Feels Situation of Declassed Jews of Soviet Russia May Be Ameliorated

That the situation of the declassed Jews in Russia may be ameliorated by the Soviet government, especially with regard to the elimination of the difficulties for those declassed who get machines through the Ort, is the opinion of Dr. Aaron Singalovsky, director of the Ort in Berlin, who is leaving Moscow today after a five weeks’ stay.

In a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency representative, Dr. Singalovsky declared that “the opinion prevailing abroad that simple relief may now be given to the Jews of Soviet Russia instead of constructive aid, is superfiicial and even dangerous for the fate of the declassed. Responsible Jewish leaders in the larger cities warn that this will result in harm instead of benefit. I have reason to expect that the Soviet officials will bring clarity into the question of how to treat the declassed Jews who are now entirely without rights, thus making it possible to solve the problem, thus liquidating the special situation created.”
