Although recent political and economic events in Germany impute an economic collapse in that country, not a little of which is apparently a direct result of the boycott of German products, the people interested in the boycott movement must not become overoptimistic in this situation, J. George Fredman, past commander of the Jewish War Veterans, warned Friday night in a broadcast over Station WEVD. He was guest speaker on a program sponsored by the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League.
“We must continue the boycott now more than ever in order to achieve our ultimate success,” declared Fredman, who is chairman of the League’s legal committee, as well as vice-president of the World Jewish Economic Federation.
