Having made the first step in nullifying the citizenship of seventy – six naturalized Jews in Austria, the Austrian government is now making preparations to annul the citizenship of a larger group of Jews, consisting this time of 410 persons.
This only confirms the fact that the Austrian government has no intention whatsoever of revising its anti-Jewish policy, despite the protests of all.
Such a situation, where Jews are being deprived of their citizenship just because they are Jews, must no longer be tolerated, not only by interested Jewish organizations, but also by the League of Nations. The High Commissariat which the League of Nations has established to deal with refugee problems must look into the Austrian situation. As for the Jews of the world, it is high time for them to start a worldwide campaign against Austria, as is being done against Germany.
