“RACE POLLUTION”
BRITISH SUBJECT SENTENCED [BY CABLE PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, February 10. The Berlin correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says an important issue of whether a British subject may be properly tried in Germany for “race pollution,” which is unknown to the laws of other countries, is raised by the trial at Hamburg of Harry Herz, a German-born Jew, who was granted British nationality in 1907. He was sentenced to 25 months’ imprisonment and fined £1,050 for offences against the German currency regulations and race pollution, but it is not revealed 'which portion of the sentence is attributable to the respective charges. A German girl w'ho his apartment was sentenced to four months imprisonment and fined £B. Banknotes valued at £lOOO which were found in her hatbox, were confiscated.
