The fate of the Jews in Germany depends upon whether or not the cabinet will be in a position to withstand the pressure of Adolph Hitler, but there is as yet no ground for panic, leaders of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith emphasized yesterday in a press conference.
Thus far, the Central Union is not disappointed in the cabinet of Chancellor von Papen, it was stated.
The spokesman for the Central Union pointed out, however, that the boycott agitation against the Jews is assuming greater proportions, while the number of anti-Semitic placards is showing a wider distribution in the provinces.
The propaganda calling for the ouster of Jewish officials is also growing stronger.
The Central Union, it was revealed, has thus far won fifty court decisions in suits it has brought in connection with the boycott agitation.
The Central Union leaders reported as a shameful fact that Jews advertise in the Nazi press for the purpose of attracting Nazi customers.
In Hamburg, it was revealed, a candy factory owned by a Jew, manufactures candy with a Nazi emblem.
There are two streets in Berlin, it was disclosed, where Jews are not permitted to settle or maintain businesses, Dr. I. N. Steinberg stated.
