German National Party Has Bill Ready for New Parliament to Deal with the Jews

The text of a Bill to regulate the Jewish question in Germany is published in the latest issue of the “Mitteldeutsche Press”, “Schlesische Volksstimme” and other German Nationalist organs. The Bill is to be introduced by the German National Deputies into the new German Parliament which is to be elected on December 7th.

The Bill says: “All Jews domiciled in Germany or resident in the country are deprived of their citizenship and declared to be aliens. All Jews who entered Germany later than January 1st. 1914, will be expelled. The whole of their possessions will be confiscated. They will be allowed only enough to pay their travelling expenses as far as the German frontier for themselves and the members of their families. It remains open to the Jews who are given permission to remain in Germany to leave our country voluntarily, but if they do so they will not be permitted to take more than a fifth of their property with them across the frontier. The other four-fifths of their property will be confiscated by the State Treasury.”

The Bill would prohibit Jews from engaging in any of the artistic pursuits and froth being medical men, lawyers, journalists or bankers. All banking houses, newspaper offices, publishing houses, printing establishments, theatres, cinematographs, film studios. etc, now in Jewish hands are to be confiscated and become the property of the State.

The Bill provides that if the enforcement of this law will lead to disputes with other countries, and the Jews of these countries succeed in getting their Governments to enforce reprisals against German subjects resident in their countries, one thousand of the most prominent Jews in Germany should be immediately arrested and held as hostages. Should war result in consequence, all the Jews in Germany should be immediately put to death.
