Difficulties have arisen in carrying out the regulations which provides for dismissal of Jewish sales agents and traveling representatives to reduce their number to the ratio permitted under the so-called “Jewish law.”
Such reduction, it is revealed in the press, would greatly affect Hungary’s commercial stability and economic life.
