Stalin Plans Measures to Dispel Impression, is Report
The assertion that the severe measures taken against the oppositional leaders in Soviet Russia is closely connected with their Jewish origin is made in a cable from Berlin to the “Jewish Morning Journal.”
The correspondent states that he has learned that in order to dispel this impression, Stalin and his adherents have decided to promulgate measures which will tend to show greater consideration to the needs of the Jewish population in Soviet Russia, even including the non-workers. These measures will be calculated to remove the accusation that the opposition was severely treated because it consisted mainly of Jews.
