Democratic political leaders in Germany have approached President Paul von Hindenburg’s advisers with the request that Adolph Hitler be requested to give assurances that the equal rights of the Jews will not be infringed upon before he is permitted to become Chancellor of Germany, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent learns.
President Hindenburg’s advisers, it is stated, advised the Democratic leaders, that no such special request is necessary inasmuch as one of the conditions already laid down is that Hitler must agree to observe the constitution, wherein the rights of the Jews are amply protected.
