A message from Prague says that the German authorities as a protective measure took into custody between 500 and 600 leading Czechs, including M. Joseph Thruslar, leader of the Czech National Movememt, and 120 former Czech officers. A report from New York states that two American Franciscan nuns who returned by the liner Saturnia said that Nazis seized their church and convent 16 miles from Warsaw. Though not molested personally, the nuns in the Polish Corridor and Danzig were forced to adopt civilian clothes.
A Berlin message says that Bohemia and Moravia are to be incorporated in the Reich Customs union.
The Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Dr. yon Neurath, announced that the Jews are being eliminated from the economic life of the protectorate. Jewish textile, clothing, and leather goods stores will close on April 1, after which the Protector is empowered to close all other Jewish businesses. The registration is announced of all Jewish shareholders and real estate, giving with the present control of Jewish banks a complete hold over the Jews in Prague.
The Gestapo has fined 300 Jews and is alsol bringing pressure to bear on Jews individually, ordering all to get out, saying that they can illegaly go to Palestine.
