Measures to check anti-Jewish propaganda and disorders were promised today by Premier Mironas to a Jewish delegation which submitted to him a memorandum protesting against recent anti-Semitic excesses. The Government, said the Premier, will forbid anti-Jewish demonstrations, introduce censorship of radio broadcasts to eliminate anti-Jewish attacks, order the press to treat the Jewish question moderately and to abstain from propaganda for a boycott of the Jews and will demand peaceful cooperation of all sections of the population.
Meanwhile, Der Stuermer, violently anti-Semitic newspaper published in Germany, and other Nazi papers made their first appearance in Nazi-dominated Memel as result of the lifting of the prohibition on Hitlerite newspapers by the Lithuanian Government.
