JEWS SHUT OUT

GERMAN JURISPRUDENCE

The complete exclusion of the Jew from jurisprudence in the Third Reich, whether in teaching or in references to expert legal opinion, was laid down by Dr. Hans Frank, Reich Commissioner for Justice, at a congress of National Socialist university professors of law, recently held in Berlm (says the "Christian Science Monito").

Jews cannot henceforth stand as representatives of German justice, Dr. Frank declared. German jurisprudence is reserved for Germans alone —this latter term being interpreted according to the racial legislation of the Third Reich. In new works on German law it will be unnecessary to quote Jewish authors, and all German publishers of such works must check immediately on new editions.

From all public libraries and such as are used for study purposes, the works of Jewish authors should be removed, as far as possible. Such works should be transferred to the section devoted to showing the "activities" of t.ho : Jews and of the Jewish race.

Works on jurisprudence written by Jewish authors, according to Dr. Frank, have nothing to do with German jurisprudence. They are to be regarded merely as opinion expressed by "foreign" (fremdvolkischer) commentators on German ideas of justice. German legal authorities are to quote from Jewish authors, in future, only as this is- necessary to prove and illustrate the workings of the typical "Jewish mentality."

Dr. Frank's speech, which in his absence was read to the congress by a deputy, included also such assertions as the following: Jewish influence in jurisprudence had been so great in the past because the Jewish racial mentality was specially adapted for that kind of legal thinking which had been incorrectly identified with socalled objective treatment. And through the individualistic tendencies of legal teaching in the last century it had been possible for the Jew to convert the legal order of the people among whom he was a guest—that is, the Germans—into a temple of Judah.
