Capetown, South Africa—The sensa
tional inroads of Nazi propaganda and
efforts to boycott Jews in the mandated
territory of Southwest Africa, a former
German colony, have so seriously aroused
the South African Government that it
has halted plans for granting more self-
government to Southwest Africa. Until
recently the Hitlerist movement among
the Germans of Southwest Africa was
given little or no attention but since Hit
ler’s accession to power in Germany the
movement is growing in strength and
militancy among the Germans of South
west Africa. 'Hie Nazis in Southwest
Africa have resorted to window-smash
ing, inciting speeches, boycotts, and in
timidation of Jewish school-children. iTie
Nazi sentiment received a tremendous
impetus when President von Hindenburg
wrote the chairman of the Deutsche Bund
a letter in which he expressed satisfac
tion that “you still have faith in the
future of Germany. Thank you all for
your national faith in Germany.”
London—Public opinion in England
must organize a more effective protest
against Hitlerism than it has thus far,
Lady Asquith, widow of former Premier
Asquith, declared in the Sunday Dispatch,
on the basis of reports she had received
from experts on the situation of the
German Jews. Lady Asquith points out
that her source of information has con
vinced her that new and more forceful
protests are of the utmost necessity.
Berlin—In order to achieve the release
of Dr. Paul Goldmann, the German Jewish
correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie
Presse, who was arrested here in retalia
tion for the arrest of three German cor
respondents in Vienna, Edgar Ansel
Mowrer, Berlin correspondent of the Chi
cago Daily News, has resigned as presi
dent of the Foreign Press Association,
and accepted a transfer to Tokio. Mr.
Mowrer’* resignation was the price of

Dr. Goldmann’s freedom. Mr. Mowrer,
winner of the 1933 Pulitzer prize for the
best foreign correspondence, is the au
thor of “Germany Turns the Clock Back,”
an expose of Hitler’s Germany.
Berlin—All persons not of the Teutonic
or Aryan race as well as those who are
married to non-Aryans will forever be
barred from becoming German citizens
under the terms of a new naturalization
law now being drafted. Applications
from non-Aryans will not be accepted
and those seeking German citizenship
will have to run the gauntlet of a third
degree on political and personal matters.
The only exceptions to the law are those
who have rendered special services to the
country.
In view of the fact that the law cate
gorically states that “an increase of pop
ulation by addition of non-Aryans is not
desirable,” the Jewish population is likely
to become the first victims of the steriliza
tion law which becomes effective Jan
uary 1, 1934. The object of this law is
to make impossible the propagation of
nationally undesirable elements. Ostensi
bly this applies to those suffering from
various congenital ailments such as fee-
ble-mindedness, insanity, epilepsy, blind
ness, deafness and serious bodily deformi
ties, but it is obvious that the law could
easily be applied to Jews who in the eyes
of the Nazis are “nationally undesirable
elements.”

Knock, Belgium—Deploring the un
founded rumors concerning his future ac
tivities, Professor Albert Einstein, who
stopped here during an automobile trip
from his temporary home at Le Coq,
Belgian seaside resort, announced the fol
lowing schedule of his obligations for the
coming season: “First, I have a perma
nent contract to lecture at the Abraham
Flexner Institute at Princeton. Second,
I have accepted a chair at the College
de France in Paris. Third, I am en
gaged to lecture in Madrid. The Paris
and Madrid engagements are for April
and May, 1934. Fourth, I have been in
vited to lecture next spring at Christ
College, Oxford. All other reports are
devoid of foundation.” This statement
appears to settle once and for all Pro
fessor Einstein's position regarding the
directorship of the Institute of Higher
Mathematics at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem.

New York, N. Y.—The world-wide
boycott of German goods among Jews
and non-Jews has assumed such tremen
dous proportions in Europe that the loss
of trade to Germany, despite reports to
the contrary, emanating from Nazi head
quarters, has been terrific and is slowly
but surely strangling German export
trade. Samuel Frommer, president of the
Fiommer Company of Indianapolis and
member of the Chicago Stock Exchange,
declared on his return here from a
month s investigation in Europe in behalf
of the B’nai B’rith and the Joint Dis
tribution Committee. “The boycott has
gone so far,” he said, “that the officials
of Algiers, in Northern Africa, refused
admittance to a large German liner car
rying more than 500 tourists on the
ground that the ship flew the swastika
flag, and the Algiers authorities would
not recognize it.” The boycott has been
particularly effective in England, France,
Holland, Italy, Egypt, Portugal, Greece,
Jugoslavia and Switzerland.

policy in Germany.

German Jewish lawyer who came to

Scotland Yard detectives have launrhr:

Berlin—The Hamburg senate has or
dered the immediate demolition of the

German-Jewish poet, which stands in the
Hamburg city park. Nazi newspapers

Heine, glorified as a poet by the old
system, has been giving serious offense
to German citizens.”
