Declares German Jurists Have Advised Him to Continue (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Theodor Fritsch will continue to publish and circulate Henry Ford’s “International Jew,” despite the instructions issued to him by Mr. Ford to discontinue its circulation. Announcement to this effect was made by Fritsch in an advertisement in the “Boersenblatt fuer Deutschen Buchhandel.” In his advertisement, Fritsch declares prominent German jurists had advised him that he is entitled to continue publication and circulation of the book.
According to a report in the “C. V. Zeitung,” the organ of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith, Fritsch had asked compensation of 40,000 Marks from Ford for withdrawing the book. He had set January 9 as the date by which he should receive compliance with his terms. Agreement to this effect had not been forthcoming from Henry Ford, the paper states.
