JEWISH TRADERS

THE GERMAN BOYCOTT AN UNSUCCESSFUL MOVE STORIES OF TORTURE (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, April 2. Tire Berlin correspondent of the Sunday Times says the boycott was a complete fiasco as regular customers bought heavily. The pickets, who were chiefly boys between 18 and 20 years of age, were continuously heckled, the crowds generally sympathizing with the Jews. Many savage attacks on Jews, Socialists and Communists are reported. Neumann, a Jewish merchant at Koenigsberg, was dragged from his house and beaten and later died as the result of a fractured skull and blood poisoning due to pepper being sprinkled on the wounds. Kindermann, a resident of Berlin, disappeared for several days and his ; father later received a message that he could fetch the body from the Storm Troops’ quarters. Kreil, a Jew, flung himself from a fourth storey window to avoid further I torture. A Jewish merchant belonging to ; Dolgeshiem was hanged after torture. A Jewish cattle dealer was taken for a ride and shot. All these cases are authenticated and | are due to private vengeance by the Nazis. I The diplomatic correspondent of the ' Daily Telegraph says there is a pros- : pect of the termination of anti-Sem- : itic hostilities in Germany due to j combined efforts behind the scenes of I the German Nationalist leaders toge- I ther with the principal Jewish bankers | in New York and London with German Jewish bankers as intermediaries. | The Daily Telegraph attaches special j significance to the .fact that the banks I alone among the Jewish institutions in Germany were left unmolested during Saturday’s boycott, which it considers is unlikely to be renewed.

(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.5 p.m.) London, April 3. The Daily Telegraph in a leading ar- | tide entitled “Germany’s Day of i Shame,” says the day will come when Germans will wish the senseless story' expunged from their annals. When the midnight of intoxication is past they will realize that Saturday’s proceedings were contemptibly sordid. NAZI LEADERS GLAD TO END BOYCOTT. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7 p.m.) London, April 3. Despite the effectiveness of the boycott there are signs that some Nazi leaders are glad to find an excuse to end it. They have no policy except the pursuit of scapegoats. LONDON DEMONSTRATION OPPOSITION TO HITLER. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, April 2. Anti-Fascist demonstrators abandoned their intention of demonstrating outside the German Embassy, which nevertheless was guarded as a precaution by police. Forty thousand Communists and Independent Labourites proceeded to , Hyde Park conveying an effigy of Herr Hitler surrounded by flames and j shouted “Down with Hitler and Fascism.” Six speakers addressed an orderly crowd. A deputation will wait on the Embassy later in the week. PROTEST AGAINST ANTISEMITISM. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, .April 2.

(Rec. 7.35 p.m.) London, April 3. Lord Snowden in a message to the Whitechapel said: “I join in deploring the brutal persecution of the Jews. Such actions are destroying goodwill and undoing the work of reconciliation between Germany and other nations.” Mr Herbert Morrison said that Hitler and his mob were a disgrace not only to Germany, but to the civilized world. Hate, spitefulness, tyranny and bloodshed were no short cuts to a solution of the ills from which the nations were suffering.
