Immediate steps to break German control of patents in this country and sever all Reich commercial and industrial relations with American concerns was urged today by Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, chairman of the Joint Boycott Council.

Such action is vitally necessary since Nazi penetration of key industries in the United States is hampering the defense program, Dr. Tenenbaum said in a statement. Germany’s control of patents in this country and the “power of the, Nazis to limit the markets, production and production facilities of American industries,” are obstructing efforts to build adequate defenses, Dr. Tenenbaum said.
