Archduke Otto, the pretender to the Austrian throne, today took issue with the anti – Jewish discriminations now practiced in Austria by the present regime.
In a statement issued by him to the Jewish War Veterans organization, the archduke declared that Jews in Austria ought to be treated as equal citizens and that any anti-Jewish legislation in the country is not justified.
The statement by the archduke voices praise of the Jewish War Veterans for their role in the Austrian army during the World War. The Jewish War Veterans in Austria have been totally ignored by the present regime since Premier Schuschnigg came to power.
Definite mistrust of the Jewish War Veterans was expressed by the present regime in Austria during the revolution of last year when it rejected the offer of the Federation of Jewish War Veterans to help the government forces in the days when Vienna was in a state of civil war.
