The League for Combating Anti-Semitism, the Union of Jewish Ex-Soldiers, the French Committee for the World Jewish Congress and the Committee for the Defense of German Jews, have cabled to Hitler their decision regarding the attitude they resolved to adopt towards Jewish persecution in Germany. In their cable they declare that they will continue their fight until the persecution of Jews in Germany is discontinued and Jewish rights and their status as citizens are restored to them.
A stern warning has also been voiced by Prof. William Oulid, a prominent lay leader of the French-Jewish Consistory. He declared that if the German Government should persist in ill-treating the Jews, the German minorities in other countries will lose their right to protection. In addition, the League of Nations would be asked to institute a special control for the Jewish minority in Germany.
At a special meeting representative of the Jewish Consistory, the Alliance Israelite and most of the Jewish societies in Paris, a resolution was adopted protesting against the anti-Semitic outbreaks in Germany and expressing satisfaction at the world wide sympathy manifested since the development of the events in Germany. Chief Rabbi Sylvain Levi, who presided, appealed for practical help on behalf of the refugees who were arriving in ever-increasing numbers. He revealed that Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, had assured him of Catholic sympathy.
