The Joint Foreign Committee, representing both the Jewish Board of Deputies and the Anglo-Jewish Association, is meeting tonight in order to discuss whether any change of attitude is called for by the Nazi suspension of the boycott.
On the other hand, a number of responsible Jewish bodies have resolved not to slacken in their efforts to call the attention of public opinion to the injustices under which German Jews are suffering. They point out that although there might be some amelioration in the losses to Jewish merchants if the boycott should be permanently discontinued, the greatest damage has already been done by the intensity of the anti-Jewish campaign, which has been spread throughout Germany.
In addition, they put particular emphasis on the fact that the expulsion of Jews from offices and employment continues unabated. Their conclusion is that nothing has happened to convince anyone that the Nazis have any real intention to treat the Jewish population of Germany on an equal basis with the non-Jews. Their watchword is that Jewish pressure must not relax as long as the Nazi injustices continue.
