A plan providing for the introduction of a "Yellow Passport System" for the Jews in Germany, in the Nazi-occupied states and in the Axis-dominated countries, has been drafted by the Institute to Study the Jewish Problem, established by the Nazis in Frankfurt ail-Main, according to reports reaching here today from Berlin.
The passports will not be valid for international travel, except for emigration. They will contain a complete record of the conduct of their holders and will indicate whether the holders have fulfilled all obligations, including forced labor service. Any "crimes" committed by Jews will be marked on the passports.
"International legislation to settle the Jewish problem" was asked in Berlin yesterday by the Quisling Minister of Justice M. Rinees, addressing the German branch of the International Chamber of Justice, the Osle radio reported today. Citing what the Quisling administration has accomplished in Norway through its anti-Jewish legislation, Rineas urged that the international legal solution of the Jewish problem should follow the recommendations made by Vidkun Quisling in an address delivered by him last year before the members of the Institute to Study the Jewish Problem. In this address Quisling suggested the introduction of pan-European, anti-Jewish legislation within the framework of the Nazi "new order."
