A further order against boycotting Jews was issued yesterday, this time by the Ministries of Economics and Labor. The joint order prohibits:
1. The compilation of blacklists.
2. Refusal to accept Jewish advertisements.
3. Refusal to register Jewish firms in official directories.
4. The intimidation of people patronizing Jewish shops.
5. Posting pickets on Jewish premises.
6. The display of leaflets and placards calling for a boycott of Jews.
7. Photographing customers entering Jewish shops or the publishing of such photographs, displaying them in pillories with names and addresses.
The order emphasizes again that Jewish firms should be given a chance to exist, otherwise, Christian employees and workers will suffer through the resulting unemployment.
Although the Nazi party as such has not issued any instructions against the boycott of Jews, nevertheless the order points out that it is in the interests of the country to abstain from the boycott.
On the other hand, the municipality of Arschwang, unanimously resolved today that Jewish peddlers and cattle dealers be prohibited from entering or trading in the town and that official signs to this effect be displayed outside the town.
The German industrial press advises the introduction of the Aryan principle, urging that only Aryans be appointed as the representatives of German firms in Palestine and that no Jews be given such appointments. Otherwise, the German trade papers declared, German trade with Palestine will suffer.
The Anzeiger for Machine Work, however, pointed out that the danger that the boycott against the Jews may cause a decline in German trade with Palestine is exaggerated, because Germany is allegedly purchasing fifty per cent of Palestinian citrus products.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
