The Daily Herald reported today that an order expelling the Jews from the Reich and confiscating their property has been prepared and awaits the signature of Reichsfuehrer Hitler.
Hitler, the Daily Herald said, was hesitating whether to sign the decree because of considerable opposition, particularly from Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Minister of Economics. Others who opposed signature, the newspaper said, urged that Hitler await the completion of the Olympic games.
