Charges that Reich Jews are holding secret meetings with a possible view to smuggling persons and property out of Germany and in Palestine, published in Der Angriff, official organ of Germany’s diminutive propaganda minister, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, have been denied by those directly concerned.

The Judische Rundschau, speaking on behalf of the hard-ridden Jewish population of Germany, publishes a report today in which the so-called “secret meetings” of Berlin’s Zionist societies are explained. They were convoked, Judische Rundschau states, with the permission of the police. They were simply the regular meetings of an innocuous Zionist society. Uniformed troopers were not present, as recorded in Der Angriff. According to the denial, Revisionist hecklers present at the meeting, described in Det Angriff as indicative of the pugnacious inclinations of Zionists, were quickly removed and the meeting proceeded.
