Sixty-five per cent of Americans favor the anti-Nazi boycott and 78 per cent approve of this Government’s action in imposing a penalty tax on German goods, according to a survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion, of which Dr. George Gallup, is president. The survey, published in the New York Times today, reflected growing anti-Nazi sentiment in the United States since the Munich agreement and the seizure of Czechoslovakia. Surveys on the boycott issue last October and December showed respectively 56 per cent and 61 per cent of the persons polled approving a boycott.
