papers in the country, today announced that in the Saar, just as in Germany, measures will soon be taken “to oust the Jewish name from public life.”
TO DRIVE JEWS OUT OF MANUAL LABOR
The New York Times in a cable from its Berlin correspondent yesterday reports that Dr. Schacht has issued a circular which will actually deprive the Jews in Germany of their right to manual labor, and which destroys one of the main hopes entertained by Jewish organizations of readjusting the German Jews to new vocations.
The circular reads:
“The Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior informs me he does not consider it advisable to prevent or hamper instruction courses in the manual crafts for Jews willing to emigrate, because the measure that promotes the emigration of Jews must be welcome.
“Illegal labor that might be feared from individual Jews thus trained in manual trades should adequately be met by police measures. The independent pursuit of a manual craft as a standing trade is opposed by the provisions of the third ordinance regarding the preliminary reconstruction of German manual trades, dated January 18, 1935.”
