Warning that anti-Semitism would encompass the “economic ruination of Czecho-Slovakia,” is voiced in a memorandum, made public today, which was sent to the Praha Government by a conference here of representatives of American Czech and Slovak organizations in the eastern United States on Jan. 19.
The memorandum contained a seven-point protest Listing present totalitarian tendencies of the Government, including restriction of liberty, dissolution of political and gymnastic organizations, confiscation of their property, and anti-Semitism. On the latter score, the memorandum protests “mainly because it is not to be tolerated in a democracy and because it would lead to the economic ruination of Czecho-Slovakia. Germany, due to its foolish anti-Semitic fight, is shaken and impoverished. Czecho-Slovakia would be bled white much easier and it would quickly lose its friends throughout the world, particularly in the United States.”
