Sharp differences of opinion as to whether or not Jews should be included in the German army are now disturbing Nazi cabinet councils, according to sensational reports published today in Praha newspapers.
The reports state that Hitler and Minister Frick of the Interior are bitterly opposed to accepting Jews into the army, but the majority of the cabinet, however, favors admitting them. As a result of the divergence of opinions. Hitler has insisted that the Jews be organized into separate military units only, the report from Berlin says.
A delegation of the Union of Jewish War Veterans in Germany visited the authorities in Berlin asking that the Jews be taken into compulsory military service on the same basis as the entire German population.
The regulations for the conscription are not yet public. It is believed here that Jews will not be admitted to active military service in Germany, though they may perhaps be admitted to auxiliary service.
