The Portuguese newspaper “A Voz” today reports that the German radio has started a campaign “against the influx of Jews into Portugal.”

Repeating its usual allegation that “the Jews are an alien body in any nation,” the Berlin radio, according to “A Voz,” criticizes the fact that “in recent years Jews are coming into Portugal despite severe immigration restrictions.”

The Rome radio today reported that the provincial governors of Sondrio, Bergame, Lucca, Cremona, Florence and Venice have issued orders that all Jewish property be confiscated including cash in safe deposit vaults, bonds, shares, government bonds, bank accounts and residential buildings.
