United Press Association.— By Electric .Telegraph.—Copyright, y Received Thursday, 5.55 p.m. NEW YORK, July 2-1.
Something of a sensation has been caused by the announcement of Mayor La Guardia that he is not prepared to have the city issue a license to a German masseur on the ground that it is “well known that American citizens of Jewish faith have been discriminated against in Germany. ’ It was intimated to-night from the German Embassy that a formal protest will probably bo made to the Stato Department that the Mayor’s action violates the treaties of and amity between Germany and the United States.
The situation was given further point to-night with the proposed introduction by Senator King of a resolution in the Senate recommending an investigation, and if the facts warrant, severance of diplomatic relations with Germany in a protest against Germany’s “barbarous religious persecutions.’’ It is expected that both the State Department as well as Senator Pittmeu, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will opposo the resolution. Senator King said the “resolution may be killed but it will at least givo notice that the Nazis’ attempt to crush Judaism and Christianity is not unchallenged.’’
Strong protests against Mayor La Guardia's action came from many quarters, particularly the German groups in the city. It is pointed out there is no official record at the State Department of discrimination in Germany against American Jews.
