PETITION TO LEAGUE
JEWISH CASE AT GENEVA THE RIGHTS OF MINORITIES IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION By Telegraph—Prc3s Association —Copyright (Received May 22, 6.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 21 Herr Franz Bernlieim, late of Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, who states that he was dismissed from his employment in a German emporium because he was a Jew, has arrived at Geneva with a petition to the League of Nations. The petition stresses that Germany, when she secured special treatment ior her minorities in Poland, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere, undertook to extend the same treatment to foreign minorities established in Germany. The Geneva correspondent of the Daily Express states that interesting developments are possible as a result of th>i petition, which the SecretaryGeneral has decided requires urgent procedure. It will, therefore, bo considered by the Council of the League on Tuesday, in order to decide whether the anti-Jewish measures are a breach of the German-Polish convention of 1922. The French, assisted by the Poles, and Czecho-Slovakians, may seek to utilise the petition to isolate Germany on the question of the Nazi treatment of tho Jews.
