The Joint Boycott Council of the American Jewish Congress and Jewish Labor Committee announced today the opening of a special Information Bureau on Industrial Connections with Germany to cope with numerous inquiries on the entanglements of American business with Nazi firms.
“We shall boycott all firms which continue to extend aid to the Nazi juggernaut through subsidiaries and patent agreements, as well as those concerns in the United States owned by German parent companies,” said Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, chairman of the Council. “The fear of losing their investments in Hitler-controlled territories must not be allowed to sabotage our national defense,” he declared.
