NAZI BOYCOTT.

PERMANENT MEASURES OF OPPRESSION. PLATES FOR NON-JEWISH BUSINESSES. J EXPULSION OF JUDGES TO STAND. LONDON, April 5. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Berlin correspondent says that, though the boycott of Jews is not being resumed, “as it has produced, the desired effect abroad, ’ ’ a statement by the chairman, of the Central Boycott Committee shows that it will be made permanent in another form. All non-Jewish businesses are to be visibly attested by large plates apparently to be issued by the Government or Nazi Party. The expulsion of Jewish Judges will be permanent. STRICTER LAWS. FOREIGNERS EXCLUDED FROM PROFESSIONS. (Received Thursday, 7 p.m.) BERLIN, April 5. With the boycott receding into the background, other steps for the protection of national interests are coming into- view. Cabinet has promulgated a new law providing the death penalty for acts of political terrorism, including arson and the sabotage of public utilities. The issue of visas is made stricter to prevent the departure of citizens suspected of activities detrimental to- the 'State, such as the dissemination of false reports. Captain Goering has issued a decree stating that owing to the overcrowding of the professions, foreigners are debarred from practising medicine, chemistry or dentistry. DRIVEN TO SUICIDE. RESULTS OF NAZI POLICY. (Received Thursday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, April 5. “The Times” Berlin correspondent states that besides the suicides of a Jewish judge and two lawyers, Herr Bettmann, a young assessor, discharged from the Heidleberg Law Courts, went home and saw a warning attached to his father’s door. He walked to the cemetery and shot himself, leaving a letter hoping that his sacrifice would not be in vain. SEEKING REFUGE. JEWS GOING TO SWITZERLAND AND HOLLAND. (Received This Day, 1.12 a.m.) LONDON, April 6. A Basle message states that three thousand Jews have arrived from Germany in the past few days. The majority are prosperous ‘business people who tell stories of persecution. Many proceeded to France. An Amsterdam message reports that 1506 Jews arrived from Germany yesterday. Many were afoot, being unable to pay railway fares. GOLD AND CURRENCY. CAMPAIGN OF DEPRECIATION SUSPECTED. (Received Thursday, 10.10 p.m.) BERLIN, April 6. Is Germany going off the nominal gold standard? This question is raised by the Reich-bank’s decision to repay in gold a credit of fourteen millions sterling granted -by the central banks of England, France ’ and America and the Bank of International Settlements. The immediate effect -will be to reduce the* gold coverage of Germany >s currency to fifteen per cent. The “Daily Herald’s” financial editor says there is a strong feeling both in London and New York that this move is part of a carefully prepared Nazi campaign to precipitate a crisis which would provide an excuse for a wholesale reduction of interest on Germany’s external loans.
