duce it, he is arrested forthwith and charged with smuggling, although most German Jews nowadays are withdrawing their capital and sharing it with the impoverished or for other relief purposes.

Eventually all Jewish bank accounts will be entirely confiscated, it was disclosed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by a leading German Nationalist.

“The Jews would do best to leave Germany as soon as possible,” he warned. “Although everything is quiet on the surface, no one can tell what may happen suddenly to thousands of Jews. The possibility of mass slaughter is not excluded while the nationalization of Jewish accounts and property is a certainty.”

A Nazi leader who has not generally shared in the hostile attitude of his associates toward the Jews, and who is well-informed as to the Government’s intentions, corroborated this statement.

“ARYAN” CONTROL ADVERTISED

German firms are openly taking advantage of the anti-Jewish feeling to stimulate the boycott against the Jews and are advertising in the German press urging prospective purchasers to “Buy only Aryan-made goods.” As an example, the Sarotti firm, makers of chocolate, in advertisements today, point out that although the firm is Swiss-owned, not only are “Aryan” workers exclusively employed, but that a majority of the company’s stock is held by “Aryans.”

The tailoring and clothing industry has been circularized by some of its members who complain against Jewish firms which describe their goods as “German products”, thus “deliberately or unintentionally misguiding the public.” While the industry does not object to the German label on Jewish products destined for export, there is objection to such description on goods to be sold in Germany, the circular points out.
