Germans may deny that Jews have anything to complain about in Germany, but here in Palestine they are more candid. In a reply to a summons to appear at a court here today a Hamburg firm has written to the Magistrate protesting against this city as the seat of the trial in view of “the severe boycott being waged at present in Tel Aviv against everything German …. and as there is every reason to believe the judge will be of Jewish descent”

The defendant asked either that the case be heard in Germany or else that it be tried by “an impartial British judge.”
