An anti-Semitic racial exhibition which will open here on April 21 and will continue for six weeks, has the active sponsorship of President Paul von Hindenburg, it was learned today.

The slogan adopted by the Nazis for the exhibition is “German Nation–German Labor.” A special section has been set aside to illustrate how the Jews are “alienated” from the German nation.

Included in the exhibition are also sections devoted to cartoons and photographs showing “Jewish inferiority.”

Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, is honorary chairman of the affair.

The Jewish community in Mecklenburg-Schwerin reported today that the Jewish population of the district had decreased since the last census from 1,700 to 670 and that it was impossible to maintain Jewish institutions any longer in view of the sharp decline in income.

The Baden administrative court located at Karlsruhe today annulled the decision of the Mannheim district court, which refused to grant a license to a Jewish innkeeper on the ground that “a Jew is unfit to maintain an inn.”
