Criticisms have flooded in recently from Germany and abroad that the money, in spite of the seemingly good intentions of Government and Parliament, is not arriving. One of the main spokesmen of the discontent is Dr Karl Marx, editor of Allegmeine Wochenzeitung der Juden, the Jewish weekly paper at Duesseldorf.
Dr Adolt Arndt, a Jewish Social Democrat Member of Parliament recently called for
the federal construction of the West German Republic. The management of the re-
