Cautioning his hearers against liquidating German long-term bonds which approximate a billion dollars in American holdings, Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the American Jewish Congress, in an address at the Independent Order Brith Sholom last night, said that a speedy sell-out of German securities “would be playing directly into the hands of the Hitlerites.”

He explained that sale of German bonds at this time would not aid the boycott. It would coincide with the hopes of the government of Germany, he said, in helping to prolong the power of the regime.
