Samuel Untermyer, president of the World Jewish Economic Federation, Sunday cabled the Zionist Congress, through Louis Lipsky, American delegate, urging that it “not only declare for but join forces with the Jewish World Federation recently organized in Amsterdam having head bureau in London with Sir Robert Mond chairman, myself president, in promoting world boycott now actively throughout world with high expectations of success.”
Painting out that “compromise gestures (have) proven delusive,” Mr. Untermyer declared the boycott the only language the Nazis can understand. He urged the Congress not to be “intimidated and bullied” by Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler’s chief adviser, who threatened reprisals against German Zionists for any anti-German activities at the congress.
