Anti-German boycott activities are not weakening in Poland, but are being continuously strengthened, the Jewish Merchants Association declared today in a statement to the press. Reports of Jewish merchants breaking the boycott were denied in the statement, which emphasized that the only boycott question was that of adjustment to present-day economic and political conditions in Poland.
Earlier reports in the Polish newspapers stated that Jewish merchants, who formerly observed the boycott, had joined the Polish-German move to increase the import of German goods into Poland in accordance with the new Polish-German treaties.
Jewish agents, it was stated, are once more being employed by German firms to sell German goods to Jewish merchants.
The rapproachement between Poland and Nazi Germany has made it increasingly difficult for Jews to observe the boycott, since all government agencies are trying to improve relations with the German government.
