It was authoritatively learned today that a central European Government has informally warned Germany that it will demand full compensation for its Jewish citizens if they are not permitted to take their capital out of the country as a result of the drive against foreign Jews.
It was also learned that a number of other embassies whose Jewish citizens are affected by the campaign have started registration of damages incurred by their nationals. According to well-informed sources this action is preliminary to the bringing of collective action for reparations.
In view of the Polish Government’s recent action to protect its citizens residing abroad, the Polish Embassy here is also expected to join in the collective demarche.
