A visible effort is being made by the German press to create an impression abroad that the persecution of the Jews is slowing down and that even the Jews no longer complain of their treatment.

None the less, anti-Jewish orders are continuing to flood the country, however, without any publicity.
The Landshandelbund issued secret orders to all bakeries that flour must be purchased only from Aryan mills and from Aryan dealers.
The official Labor Front, embracing all the labor unions, has created a special association of house managers. Only Aryans may belong to this association, thus rendering it impossible for Jews to manage the properties of hundreds of Jewish refugees who left Germany.

It is significant that none of these orders are published in the German press, in order that an unfavorable impression may not be created abroad.
