A report that the Board of Jewish Deputies intends to endorse the boycott movement against Germany, was denied here today by Neville Laski, president of the board, in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency understands that a compromise has been reached between individual members of the Board of Jewish Deputies who favor the boycott, and the leaders of the board, who oppose it. The compromise aims to avoid in the future disagreement with regard to the question of the anti-German boycott.
As a result of this compromise, a motion will be made at the next meeting of the Board of Jewish Deputies on November 18, reaffirming Mr. Laski’s previous statements that no self-respecting Jew should deal with German goods or utilize German services. This motion will be introduced by P. Horowitz, chairman of the Jewish Representative Council, which is conducting the boycott activities against Germany.
