In Vienna the leader of the Labour Front (Dr Robert Ley) declared: “Our fight against Jewry must be continued without compromises until the goal given by the Fuhrer is reached.” Dr Ley gave a warning that terrible conditions might be imposed on the German people if the Jews won that struggle. It is announced that the law in Germany forfeiting to the State all property of those hostile to the State will apply to Ostmark (Austria) from November 20. . , x xi. i It is regarded as certain that the early victims will include Baron Louis Rothschild and other wealthy Jews.

The first batch of 500 Jewish refugee children from Germany is expected in Britain within a fortnight The Council for German Jewry at a meeting in London estimated that there were 60,000 children of school age among l the 500,000 Austrian and German Jews. It proposes that hundreds should be educated in Jewish schools throughout Britain, and it is hoped the London County Council and other schools will take the remainder. Many offers have been received to accommodate children in British homes. The surplus will be placed in camps. It is proposed to send them to the colonies when they are educated. The Jewish Agency has issued a statement that organizations in Pales-, tine are prepared to undertake financial responsibility for the immediate absorption of 100,000 refugees in Palestine, consisting chiefly of agricultural workers and children.

Describing Mr Chamberlain’s refugee proposals as a long-term policy, the Rev. M. L. Perlzweig, a member of the World Jewish Congress, said tens of thousands of Jews could not- hope to survive until the emigration schemes matured. He urged the nations to facilitate the immediate immigration of large numbers, for which the Jewish communities would make themselves responsible.
