Dr. Hjlmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank, is expected personally to give to George Rublee, director of the intergovernmental Refugee Bureau, tomorrow a memorandum covering the altered Reich plan for Jewish emigration. The memorandum, which was the subject of a four day conference of experts of the Finance, Economics and Interior Ministries, is said in Nazi quarters to answer “satisfactorily” the many questions regarding the original Schacht emigration plan raised by Mr. Rublee.
If Mr. Rublee agrees that the memorandum is satisfactory in principle, informed quarters said, a meeting between Mr. Rublee and Field Marshall Hermann Goering, Germany’s economic dictator, will follow, during which the plan will be further clarified.
Meanwhile, Das Schwarze Korps, organ of Hitler’s elite guard, declaring it “monstrous” that German money should be used to propagate the Jewish race, demanded that Jewish women be excluded from receiving social insurance payments made to mothers on the birth of a child. The paper failed to mention that such payments are made only to members of the insurance system who have paid for such benefits.
Reich municipal pawnshops have been designated as the sole purchasing agents of Jewish jewelry valued under 1,000 marks ($400). More expensive jewelry and art objects may be sold only to the Buying Office of Cultural Goods in Berlin. A considerable turnover in Jewish valuables is expected before Feb. 15, when the second installment of the $400,000,000 “reprisal” fine for the slaying of a German Embassy official in Paris is due.
