Despite the promise given by Finance Minister Dr. Karl Buresch in London that the Austrian government would end all anti-Jewish measures, government officials, members of the Fatherland Front, are issuing propaganda calling for a boycott of the Jews, Stimme, organ of the Austrian Zionists, revealed today.

The paper published an invitation, officially circularized by the government, urgently calling upon all Austrians to buy only from “native, Christian shop owners.” The document was issued by the economic section of the Fatherland Front.

The Austrian film industry has introduced complete “Aryanism,” the Neue Welt, published by Dr. Robert Stricker, reported today. Two new films, “Asef” and “Traveling Into Youth,” are pure “Aryan,” the paper stated, adding that not a single Jewish artist, technician or laborer was employed in the creation of the two films.
