The student fraternity “Kosener Student Corporation,” one of the oldest and best known in Germany, with many notables and Nazi officials on its membership rolls, has notified the office of Reich Chancellor Hitler that it will not adhere to the “Aryan” principle and will not expel its Jewish members, it was officially announced here today.

Complaining that reaction abroad to the newly enacted Reichstag laws “does not make the international situation easier for Germany for the time being,” Der Schwartzer Korps, official organ of the Schutz Staffel, Hitler’s personal bodyguard, in an editorial today protests that “this attitude shows that public opinion abroad does not understand these new measures.”
Jews in Germany are to be recognized as guests only, the editorial says. As such, the Nazis will guarantee them freedom of religion and will permit them to conduct their own cultural activity, including the maintenance of segregated Jewish schools The Nazis must insist, however, the paper emphasizes, that Jews accept this status as guests and live “within the limits of their own internal circles only.”
The paper warns that if the Jews are dissatisfied with the status of guests, revision of the Reichstag laws will become necessary and the Jewish position will be made worse.
“We hope the Jews have in their own interests heard and understood what the voice of our leader pronounced before the Reichstag,” the paper concludes.
