International affiliation of anti-Semitic student organizations in Central Europe was checked by a government ordinance issued today by Prussian Minister of Education Becker.
According to this ordinance, the Prussian Students Association was enjoined against affiliating itself with the student organization of Austria which barred Jewish students from its membership. A plan was recently fostered for creating a purely Aryan student association consisting of the student bodies of Prussia, Austria and Czechoslovakia to conduct a racial program.
The ordinance points out that students organizations are formed on the basis of cultural activity and not on racial lines.
