Demands for halting of Jewish immigration were voiced yesterday at an immigration conference called by the Government. A Jewish representative was ushered out to shouts of “Down with the Jews.”

Anti-Jewish statements were voiced after an invited representative of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce had spoken. The incident climaxed an anti-Semitic campaign being waged here for restrictions on Jewish immigration.

No official confirmation could be obtained here of a report in Warsaw newspapers, quoting the Mexican consul in the Polish capital, that Mexico demands a declaration of racial origin from prospective immigrants to Mexico.
