Adolf Hitler, the National Socialist leader will have to respect the ordinance issued by Adolf Hitler the Chancellor, asserts a statement issued yesterday by the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith in connection with the press curbing ordinance.

Chancellor Hitler signed with President von Hindenburg the press decree which provides fine and imprisonment penalties for abuse of recognized religions or violence against members of religious communities, the statement points out.

The Central Union plans to keep a careful check on any infringements of the ordinance which may be directed against the Jews and will draw the attention of the government to them, the statement declares.
