SAVAGE NAZIS

ATTACKS_ON JEWS MANY ACTS OF CRUELTY reign of terror HEARTLESS MURDERS PRIVATE VENGEANCE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received March 3. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 2 ' The Berlin correspondent of the Sunday Times states that the boycott of the Jews on Saturday was a, complete fiasco as their regular customers bought heavily. 1 The pickets chiefly comprised youths of from 18 to 20, and they were continuously heckled by crowds of bystanders who generally speaking sympathised with the Jews. Many savage attacks on Jews, Socialists and Communists arc reported. Herr j Neumann, a'Jewish merchant of Koe- , nigsberg, was dragged from his house and beaten. Later he died from a fractured skull and blood poisoning caused by pepper sprinkled in his | wounds. Herr Kindermann, a Berlin resident, disappeared and was missing for several days. His father received a message ' later telling/him he could take the body from- the headquarters of the storm troops. Herr Krell, another Jew, flung himself from a fourth storey win- / dow to avoid further torture, and }l Jewish merchant, belonging to Dolgesheim, hanged himself after being tortured. A Jewish cattle dealer - was taken fo/ a ride in a car and was shot. The correspondent asserts that all these cases are authenticated. They were due to private vengeance by Nazis. Herr Erich Loewenstein was sentenced to a / year's imprisonment at 1 Frankfurt for stating that Nazis had hanged a Jew at Worms. Tho Nazis swore the Jew hanged himself duiing " protective dentention." The diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says there is now a brighter prospect of the termination of anti-Semitic hostilities in Germany, owing to the combined efforts behind the scenes of the German Nationalist ' leaders, together with the principal Jewish bankers in New York and London, with the Jewish bankers in Ger- j many as intermediaries. The writer attaches special sigf; nificance to j the fact that the banks alone among the Jewish institutions of : Germany were left unmolested in Satur- | day's boycott, which, in the opinion of i the' correspondent is unlikely to be renewed. "DAY' OF SHAME" BITING BRITISH COMMENT (Received - April 3, 9.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 3 I The Daily Telegraph, in a leading article entitled " Germany's Day of Shame," says* " The day will come when Germans will wish this senseless story expunged from their annals.' When the midnight intoxication is past they will realise that Saturday s pro- '' ceedings were/contemptibly sordid. CABINET DIVIDED OPPONENTS OF BOYCOTT SEARCH FOR SCAPEGOATS Times Cable LONDON, April 3 The Berlin correspondent of the Times says tiat in spite of the effectiveness of the boycott of Jews there are / signs that some of the Nazi leaders would be glad of an excuse to end it. They have no'policy except the pursuit of scapegoats. ' Another message from Berlin says it , is understood that the "go slow" members of Herr Hitler's Government, in addition to President Hindenburg, are Herr von Papen, Baron von Neurath and Herr Seldte. Captain Goering and Herr Goebbels represent the antiJewish faction with Herr Hitler ingPOLITICAL ALLIANCE /• ■ / NAZIS AND NATIONALISTS FOUR YEARS' RULE ENSURED (Received April 3, 6.5 p.m.) -■Tin*. Cable ' LONDON. April 3 The Berlin correspondent of tho Times states" that the Chancellor, Herr Hitler, has promulgated a Uniformity Bill establishing a Nazi-lNationalifst aH- '' ance for four years. This will make possible the of the legis lative and administrative b°<J ies * n cordance with the voting of _ » Reichstag election, which left the ISaz and Nationalists in majorities e\ery,*These bodies will be indissolublefor four years. No seats will be allotted to Communists.// The State Governments may legislate without reference to their Parliaments. CROWN TO BESTOW CHANCELLOR'S POWER NOT A PRIMARY QUESTION > LONDON, March 27 Herr Hitler could imposo a monarchy upon Germany to-morrow, says the Berlin correspondent of the Sunday ' despatch, but a candidate might hesitate to owe his crown to a man whose opponents, i' l numbers, are almost equal to his supporters. Yet the ex-Kaiser, who on the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 declared that lie knew "no party, only Germany," 'may find his mission in the reconciliation of the opposing groups, which at present are bitter enemies. He would return at a moment's notice if he received a spon- * taneous call from tho people. . Herr Hitler, no doubt a monarchist heart, regards the restoration as only secondary at prosent, beeauso it nerds careful preparation. Germany's four former kings were independent sovereigns of the smaller States, and their return would increase the difficulties, as petty rulers would impede unification, at which the Nazis a ;
