German newspapers which reached Paris today through neutral countries carried denials of reports that Germany was inviting Jews back to the Reich as elements needed for her economy.
Emphasizing that Chancellor Adolf Hitler had long ago predicted the doom of the Jews if a world war came, these papers reported that Jews dismissed from their jobs and under existing Reich laws entitled to several weeks’ severance pay might be ordered to refund this compensation, no matter when they had received it.
The Frankische Tageszeitung, personal organ of Julius Streicher, reproduced at length violent anti-Jewish speeches delivered by Streicher since Oct. 16 throughout Franconia under the slogan, “Germany’s Victory Would Spell the Death of the Jewish Nation.” The paper also carries photographs of Streicher addressing mass meetings, thus apparently contradicting reports that he had been under arrest until several days ago.
