The Greek government today ordered the disbanding of all anti-Semitic organizations, including the EEE, known as the Nazi organization of Greece.
The order is to take effect immediately, according to special instructions issued by the Minister of the Interior.
The government edict puts an end to the violent anti-Jewish propaganda which has been conducted openly throughout the country by the EEE organization, subsidized from Berlin, and by the Venizelos party, which could not forgive the Jews for voting for the present regime in the last Parliamentary elections.
With the Venizelos party now liquidated, the Cabinet felt that it was its duty also to declare illegal the other anti-Semitic groups which were not associated with Venizelos, but which utilized the opposition of the Venizelos party to the present regime for their anti-Jewish activities.
In connection with the order suppressing the anti-Jewish propaganda, it was revealed today that when the government sent out a mobilization call during the recent revolts, more than 2,000 Jewish reservists and war veterans left their occupations and volunteered for the defense of the government against the Venizelos forces.
