BOYCOTT OF GERMANY

GOODS AND SERVICES BRITISH LABOUR APPEAL NAZIS AND COMMUNISTS AN EXTRAORDINARY FILM By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Receiver! July 19. 5.25 p.m.) LONDON, July IS r lho National Joint Council of tho Trades Vnion Congress, tho Labour Party, and tho Paliamcntary Labour Party, have issued a manifesto urging tho people of Britain to boycott (iernian goods and services against Heir Hitler's rule. Tho manifesto says: " Ordinary methods of protest have failed and this insensate tyranny must be fought with other weapons. We do not hold the people of Germany guilty. We cannot believe they are aware of tho manner in which their present Government has alienated international sympathy and goodwill." Tho Daily Herald says Herr Ernst Thaelmann, tho imprisoned Communist leader, will bo forced to play tho rolo of villain in a film entled " Horstwessel." This depicts tho growth of the Nazi movement. Herr Thaelmann will bo photographed in prison and extracts from his speeches afterwards will be synchronised with the film. In order to blacken tho Communists as much as possiblo Heir Thaelmann will bo obliged to bo depicted in tho act of lighting a fire. This sceno will be grafted to a film of tho burning of the Reichstag, thus creating the impression that Herr Thaelmann was responsible for that outrage, which tho Herald attributes to Nazis under Captain Goering's orders.
