NAZIS ANNOYED
NOVEL BOYCOTT IN PRAGUE
LONDON. October 7
The Czechs have adopted many ingenious ways of resistance to Nazi rule. News of one method, novel and non-violent, was received in London this week.
It was learnt, that the Germans intended to turn over the receipts of the Prague tramways each Saturday to the Winterhilfe organisation in Germany. The news was so rapidly circulated by what is humorously known as the J.P.P. Agency the initials of the Czech words meaning: “A woman told me”) that on Saturday the trams were practically- unused, even though people in the suburbs had to walk many miles into town.
The Germans found it necessary to announce at noon that the boycott had been caused by a Czech protest against the delay in introducing measures to exclude Jews from tramcars.
