The Nazi Government will permit no intervention in behalf of the Jews, the people in Holland were told by the leader of the German Nazi Party there, according to a report published in the Dutch press reaching here today.

The warning was sounded at a Nasi ceremony in Rotterdam marking the deportation of a large number of Dutch Jews to occupied Eastern territories. “No Jew will be left in Western Europe.” the Nazi leader, Dr. Schmidt, said.

The disclosure that all Jews in Holland who have been converted into Catholicism have been transported to occupied Poland was also mads by Dr. Schmidt in his address on this occasion. This, he said, was done in retaliation for a protest against the deportations of Jews from Holland addressed by Protestant and Catholic church leaders to Seyss-Inquart. “We consider the Jews our worst enemy and all those who intervene for them will be punished to share the Jewish fate,” the Nazi leader declared.
