OFFICIAL NAZI MACHINERY IS STILL WORKING OVERTIME, LEONARD G. MONTEFIORE, PRESIDENT OF THE ANGLO-JEWISH ASSOCIATION, ASSERTED TODAY IN COMMENTING AT A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DEPUTIES OF BRITISH JEWS ON STATEMENTS OF PEOPLE RETURNING FROM GERMANY THAT ANTI-SEMITISM THERE IS DYING DOWN.
REGARDING RUMORS THAT PASSPORTS FROM GERMANY WOULD BE WITHDRAWN AFTER THE END OF THIS YEAR, HE SAID GERMAN JEWS GENERALLY COULD GET PASSPORTS ONLY IF THEY WERE DEFINITELY INTENDING TO EMIGRATE.
REPLYING TO A QUESTION ON THE POSITION OF REFUGEE JEWS IN SHANGHAI AND NANKING, MR. MONTEFIORE SAID, “I HAVE MADE INQUIRIES AND I HAVE ASCERTAINED FROM THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE THAT THERE ISN’T NEED FOR ACTION HERE AS THE CONFLICT IS BEING DEALT WITH ADEQUATELY ON THE SCENE OF THE CONFLICT ITSELF.”
