The Siemens-Schuckert works, the famous industrial works of Germany, which recently concluded a contract for building a new city in Palestine to be the center of the textile industry of that country, is being discussed by the German press.
Charges are being made that the Siemens-Schuckert works have become the center of the German nationalist movement and that the plot to assassinate Stressemann was hatched there. It is also claimed that the German Ku Klux Klan was originated there.
The Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith has received a number of complaints that Jews are only rarely employed in the works because of the influence of the chief engineers and the assistant directors. The Central Union has repeatedly intervened with the directors, but they were told on every occasion that the firm cannot inquire into the political, religious and military activities of its employees.
