Premier Koloman Daranyi denied today before a Joint Parliamentary Commission that the Government’s bill for restricting Jews in Hungarian economic life was “made in Germany.” replying to a charge by Dr. Charles Rassay, leader of the National Liberal Party, the Premier declared there was no parallel between the Hungarian bill and the German Nuremberg Laws establishing restrictions on Jews.

The most important effect of the measure will be to open commerce, industry and the professions to people who have not had a chance to enter these trades hitherto, Daranyi asserted. He warned the Jews against tactics of boycott and sabotage, which, he said, would make life with the Hungarians impossible, adding that he considered the first task preservation of public order. The speech received an ovation by the committee.

Minister of Economics Bela Imredy declared the bill was a part of the Government’s five-year plan for economic recovery and was necessary to alleviate depression and encourage Hungarian initiative.
