Reich Army Will Bar Jews on Equal Basis

That special Jewish brigades will be organized during the general conscription was indicated today by military authorities to a correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in reply to an inquiry which he made as to whether or not Jews will be discriminated against in drafting soldiers for the enlarged German army.

The admission of Jews into the German army on the principle of equal citizenship is totally excluded, the correspondent was given to understand. General von Blomberg, head of the Reichswehr, is personally not opposed to admitting Jews into the army ranks as full-fledged citizens, but such proposals, it was stated, would meet the strongest opposition by those extremists in the Nazi party who lately have gained ground even in matters concerning the army.

JEWS PREPARED

Jewish circles here are prepared for the possibility of discrimination against Jews in the conscription. Non-acceptance of Jews into the regular army will reduce them even to a lower civic status and will undermine their last economic and social positions, it was explained today by Jewish leaders.

The Association of Jewish War Veterans will definitely decline to cooperate in the eventual formation of special Jewish brigades, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent was reliably informed. Similarly, the Jews will not be ready to cooperate in any other plans which would admit them to auxiliary service only.

A strong feeling of embitterment prevails among German Jewry as a result of this new humiliation to which they are to be subjected. German. Jews consider it the greatest humiliation not to have been admitted into the army despite the fact that during the last war they displayed the greatest loyalty and lost not less than 13,000 Jewish soldiers and officers on the battlefield.
