BOYCOTT ENFORCED

JEWISH SHOPS PICKETED CUSTOMERS INTIMIDATED [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYEIGHT.] (Recd. April 1, 10.10 a.m.) • BERLIN, March 31-. The Jewish boycott has been officially launched in some German cities. The Nazis demanded the immediate removal of Jewish Judges and barristers from the Berlin Courts, whereupon they were closed. The Nazis stationed themselves outside Jewish shops, and stamped the faces of shoppers at Annaberg Jewish stores with the words, “We are traitors. We bought from the Jews.” It is estimated that at least 30,000 Storm Troop pickets will be needed in Berlin alone, to enforce the shop boycott. BOYCOTT EXTENDED. BERLIN, March 31. The boycott applies to Christians who are married to Jews, and to baptised Jews. EFFECT ON FOREIGN PRESS. BERLIN, March 31. Herr Goebels has informed foreign correspondents that the anti-Jewish boycott, starting iron discipline on April 1, will be enforced throughout the day, to ascertain its effect, in the foreign Press, and re-established on April 4, if the unfavourable comments are continued. SEEKING SANCTUARY. LONDON, March 30. A meeting of three thousand Jews, held in London, appealed to the Government to grant asylum to victims of the unparalleled German atrocities, and also to give facilities for them to enter Palestine. APPEAL TO THE POPE. LONDON, March 31. A Jewish deputation has gone to Rome, in order to supplicate the Pope to intercede on behalf of German Jewry. STAHLHELM LEADERS. BERLIN, March 31. The Government has ordered the release of the Stahlhelm leaders, who were arrested for allegedly enrolling Communists in the Palatinate. A NAZI WARNING. BERLIN, March 31. The Nazis warn the Communist Party and the Socialist Party, which continue to exist in the internation-aly-administered Saar region, that twenty of their members will be arrested for every Nazi that is assaulted. AUSTRIAN SOCIALISTS DISBAND. VIENNA, March 31. In consequence of an alleged plan for widespread armed action against the Government, the Socialist Defensive Alliance has been summarily disbanded, and army detachments are making a demonstration march in the city to-day. BURGOMASTER RETALIATES. (Recd'. April 1, 12.20 p.m.) VIENNA, March 31The Socialist burgomaster, Hen* Seitz, has retaliated for the disbandment of the Socialist Defensive Alliance, otherwise the Schutz-bond, by issuing a decree for the disbandment of the Reimwelir, the Austrian Fascists, who are distinct from the Nazis.

The decision is due to the Reimwehr’s threat, forcibly to alter the Constitution. The Government is not likely to ratify the decree.
