CRUELTY TO JEWS

U.S.A. WARNS GERMANY CONCESSIONS OBTAINED [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. April 12, 2 p.m.) LONDON, April 12. The “Daily Herald” (Labour) says: Mr Norman Davis’s outspoken remarks to Chancellor Hitler and Hen* Von Neurath regarding Jewish persecution, is primarily responsible for the concessions to the Jewish lawyers. Mr Davis emphasised that the Jewish pogrom caused a disastrous impression in the United States. He made it plain that leading financiers in the < United States, hitherto favourably disposed to Germany, would be adamant in the refusal to assist while the illtreatment of Jews continued. Herr Schacht, as President of the Reichsbank, at the same time intervened on behalf of the Jews. The “Daily Herald” adds: German messages show that all pretence at liberty of trade unions is being destroyed. Nazi police attended the meetings to register disapproval of the decisions. Members of the workers’ Council, who do not get Nazi approval, were asked to resign, being replaced by Nazi nominees. Members refusing to resign were arrested and kept in custody until they sign their resignations. The Nazi are apparently considering the replacement of trade unions by corporations on the Italian model. TENNIS CRACK BARRED. (Received April 12, 9.30 a.m.) BERLIN, April 11.
