Premier Josef Tiso of autonomous Slovakia told a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent today that laws restricting participation of Jews in the economic life of all Czechoslovakia were being drafted for early submission to Parliament. The pending laws, he declared, were intended “to establish security and to show the Jews the limits of their economic activity.”
As far as Slovakia alone was concerned, Dr. Tiso said, “the Jewish problem will be solved in a just, social and humane way.” He said the recently enacted decrees calling for revision of the citizenship lists and expulsion of political refugees within one to six months applied equally to Slovakia.
