The chief technical charge in the expulsion of Jewish Soviet citizens from the Reich is that they are a menace to the safety of the State, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns reliably. The expulsion orders cite article two, paragraph three of the Reich law dated March 23, 1934, reading: “A foreigner may be expelled if he engages or has engaged in subversive activities or endangers the internal and external safety of the Reich.” Among 60 persons known to have received expulsion orders, one is a blind man and another a prisoner of war from 1914 to 1917 who lost his arm while working in a German factory.
