SAVAGE DECREES
EFFECT IN GERMANY CONFIDENCE OF PEOPLE SHAKEN GLOOMY CHRISTMAS LIKELY (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON. Dec. 18. The Daily Telegraph's Berlin correspondent says: The country is facing the gloomiest Christmas since Herr Hitler assumed power. Anxiety over home and foreign affairs is overshadowing the festival. It is increasingly clear that the antiJewish outrages and the savage decrees have shaken the confidence of the average Germaa more than anything. The purge of June, 1934, was forgotten comparatively rapidly, but the pogroms have left an overpowering feeling of shame, which is turn T ing to bitter resentment. Word has flown around the country that the next campaigns will be against the Catholics and against the landed aristocracy. Fear is also growing that the foreign affairs drive in the springtime may bring the country close to war.
