The newspaper Telegraaf reported today that German plans for the establishment of a Jewish territory in the southeastern part of Poland around Lublin were taking shape.
The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant reported from Berlin that the German Government was planning to impose a special military tax upon Jews on the ground that they do not serve in the army, from which they are barred under the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws. The tax will amount to five per cent of their total property, it was said.
Meanwhile, many Jewish schools were reported to be among buildings taken over in Berlin and other cities to house evacuees from Aschen, Duesseldorf and other large Rhineland centers.
